I viewed this thread under the assumption that there would be spam involved. The delicious canned ham treat served cooked or out the can. Very misleading OP.

I've done my fair share of bitching and complaining. Now I'm just jaded and the seasoned Halo veteran is starting to emerge. As it always has in past games. Lol.

Whoo hoo! (Homer Simpson voice)

This made me LMAO... Although the wombat is a smart ass his point is hilariously spot on.

Halo 4 tourist season huh? Haha.

This point has already been addressed. Had you read the thread that had a WHOPPING 20 replies you would've known the major complaints weren't skill based but were very valid reasons based on game mechanics differing from previous titles. So don't post stupid crap on threads and quit trolling. Either contribute an opinion based on some sort of reason or tell your story walking. I know what you were saying. A locked thread wouldn't be the end of the world. I was just so sick of reading the same rehashed opinionated bull on so many other threads. I was hoping someone good at the game can either get me to see it from a different view or share some of their insight into the game. That being said I've mixed my tactics now. I travel in pairs if available or better, with the whole team. I don't mind getting assists anymore. Whatever I can do to help while avoiding death... The kills will come when they do. Patience. Hologram works best aside from jet packing DMR. All those A HOLES I was having issues with I took their strategy and rolled with it with minor tweaks and its suited much better. Over the last two days I've used these strategies and usually score about 12 and 5. Or on a good game low 20's and 5. It's nowhere near the beast that I was but I have up on CQC to a degree. My target acquisition has gotten better so I prefer the DMR over the AR for obvious reasons. (Even though I'd rather use the carbine). But I realized for me to enjoy the game I have to use the power weapons and not use what I'm used to. (Something I still disagree with). But the stats do speak for themselves. I have made major improvements. Some things will always remain impossible for me. (18 regicides in one game). Others I find easier. (Distinguishing between trolls, mods, and people with actual good intellectual input free from ignorant judgement. Not saying that all three are the same but I'm not saying all three are different either. To the mods who helped me clean up my post so I didn't sound like a raging moron thank you for not simply putting a lock on it and taking the time to see the relevance in what I was saying. And thank you. To everyone who offered good advice. Thank you. It did help me see MM from the other side of the coin. Dare I say... FUN AS HELL. To the trolls? You'll never change. And you'll never offer anything important to anyone because your egos mean more to you than helping someone else out. I can't change you the mods can't and neither can anyone else. Just wish if you felt the need to spell your ignorance out for everyone you'd do it on someone else's thread. Because its just rude. If that came off argumentative I apologize beforehand. That is NOT my intention. I'm merely posting my opinionated frustration about trying to DEAL with an issue and hitting continuous speed bumps. I digress. End result (I believe) is a new polished gamer for hope for the future. And it wouldn't be fair to come down on the trolls without coming down on myself. If I knew how to change a thread name I would. I came off bitchy and whiny (albeit wanting to solve a legit problem) and at times unprofessional and for that I'm sorry. To everyone. Thanks to twinreapers post earlier I have REALLY been trying to see things not so black and white and not so much RAGE. Here's to more clarified posts in the future. And once again I apologize about the initial tone of this thread to the community.

And before others consider locking this thread take it for what it is. A thread proposing legitimate reasons why I disagree with the games acclaim. It isn't an argument point. (To all those that are arguing unprofessionally). To Azzax. I tried your methods and they are working out great. Thank you for your insight. But I still think campaign was the best part about this game.

You're entitled to your opinion. However wrong it is. I was a legit 50. Look it up. GT was mr fries. I owned at that game. Halo reach was a little different if. Halo 4 is a TOTALLY different game. Not to mention a level 50 5 years ago isn't the same today. Noob.

I did have a question to get this thing started. How in the hell do you get to not kill any marines throughout the whole jungle level...? And how do you hijack a wraith? Everytime I hop on board one I punch it until it explodes. There's never anything left to hijack. Um... How?

It's a jump to conclusions mat! You see? It's a mat... And you jump. TO CONCLUSIONS! No... Just... That's a very bad idea... Just awful.

When does the XP limit ban reset? Is it a standard time from when you hit it or is it like at midnight every night?

I figured that out day 1. Aren't I clever?

I'm 41 and have never hit my limit. Thoughts?

Depending on map range... For Ragnarok sniping weapons tend to do me the best or splaser to wreck vehicles. On cqc maps I'll go with a scattershot, sword, or over shield. In almost every previous Halo game I've been excellent in cqc. Now (besides flood) it seems my greatest strength has turned into my greatest weakness.

That's always I thought. I'll give it a go and see where I'm at.

Hmmm that is strange. Mine stay inverted for flight. I wonder why yours revert.

Alright this is for advice on how to get certain achievements and how the easiest way is to obtain them from community experience. If you have problems post here. Also if solutions are present post here as well. I thought this was a good idea as some of the achievements aren't really self explanatory.

^This

It's because you're real good at the game man! Nobody else is getting that because they don't deserve the credit for AFKing... You're too good bro...!

I play inverted too. I just went to controls and invert y axis and presto. No problems playing or flying. I'm sorry I'm not trying to be an ass but what exactly is the problem here? You can't invert your controls or you can't invert solely your flight controls?

In the far back room there is a doorway that if you jump into it through the keystone (where it would be) you go through the wall and sit there picking off flood but unable to be hit by anything other than a projectile. I just played a game where 5 people did this. I submitted my player review for cheating and filed a complaint. Obvious exploits like this are the reason gamers piss me off. Can't just play the game but have to cheat... Makes me sooooo angry. Cheating good for nothing ********. I don't know how to upload this video to the Internet but I saved it to put these pieces of crap on blast so everyone will know they are cheaters. If you know how to upload it I'll be more than happy to share.

The games been out a week and you thoroughly exploited it. Congratulations. You're a moron and a cheater and you're the reason war games sucks balls. Thank you. Seriously... Hiding in a freaking wall...

If it wasn't for you I'd have rageblasted forum members for differing opinions including yourself for threatening me. But then I quit acting like a Neanderthal and put down my sticks and rocks and realized maybe I just have rage issues. (I WAS mad bro, but not anymore). So in those regards thanks for setting me straight and sacking up to talk to the community when nobody else would. I'm serious. Takes a man to do that. (Even on the Internet).

I wasn't being arrogant when I said to explain the whole "adapt" thing. I'm seriously open to advice if someone can explain it. Or even explain why they said it. To me it was only so disappointing because my hopes were so high.

All of this just hurts my brain. The campaign was the best part of this game. Hands down. There's always two sides of the coin. Just because 343 didn't elaborate that captain del rio had his own agenda doesn't mean he didn't have one. The Didact was obviously disturbed. The only reason they wanted to fire the rings was to kill the flood. When humans nuked their planet it got personal. It clearly said that. Just because you don't understand simple storyline doesn't make it a plot device. As for the trolling I humbly digress. That was rude of me to come at the OP like that and I retract that statement. And I understand you think it's repetitive. I heard you both drone on about it for WAY too long. It wasn't. It was a beautiful master piece and was challenging to boot. If you don't like the gondola ride because of its repetition you'll hate war games and "haven". Now THAT is repetitive.
