DMR is an amazing weapon with insane range. The battle rifle is still very effective, but I just hate the reticules >.< haha.

Get banned for "Jarnoobish?" You guys are sad players. If you are worried about YOUR kills more than you are worried about your team winning then I am very thankful that I never play with you guys. I will shoot any enemy in sight to ensure the kill is finished all the way through. An assist is just as good as a kill to me and my team mates because your work has resulted in a kill point for another one of YOUR TEAM mates. If a team mate had 14 kills 1 assist and 10 deaths and another team mate had 2 kills 17 assist and 8 deaths...hmm you would take the +4 dude over the -6 team mate because he didn't finish his kills, someone else did? Whos to say that your other team mates would have received those kills had the 17 assists not been there? An assist = Kill. Simple fact, no way to disprove that. If you think your assassination point is worth more than team effort then please, stay away from FaTaL TnB. You are no team player.

Lesson learned? Kill them faster next time.

It is anyone's game, an assist is just as good as a kill in my opinion. Why are you complaining about a guy on YOUR TEAM getting a kill? How low can you go?

I am just wondering, am I the only one who wishes we had the choice to do an animated assassination? I find it to many times I have the ability to get multi assassinations but due to the animation I find myself getting 1 assassinaton then the opponent turning around and killing me which stops me from any sneak attack multi kills. Also, you have the risk of dieing in the middle of an obvious assassination. These animations are obstructing my game play =[. -FaTaL

How about let's not troll....And for the ranking system that is exactly what ranks are for? They just aren't visible..you contradict yourself.

Good thing that won't happen very often due to the hidden matchmaking rank system.

Let's face it, well coordinated teams are few and far between. But, with 2 mantis' it makes it fair. RIGHT?! haha!

What would it be. You can literally customise this gametype to fit any desire. I would add a game type called "Infiltration." The Objective behind Infiltration is to obviously Infiltrate the enemy's base. Not thus being said, it would be played sorta like a forge map game type. You would enter the gametype as either an Infiltrater or the Defender. If you are a Defender then take it like you would forge. You are set up in a map designated for you and you are given 3 minutes to use "X" amount of cash given to create barriers wherever you felt. Obviously in order to make this game not Impossible you would have to have limits to which barriers would be usable. With that being said the barriers would have to be limited to movable barriers; a barrier that can be moved at least by a melee, and even faster via grenades, rockets, etc. Once you are barricaded into your base you will have the option to start the game immiedietly or wait until the 3 minutes is up. Once you choose either option, another group who had chosen to be the infiltrater will be matched up against you and given aprox. 10 minutes to get inside the base and Kill each player on the opposing team. The Team breaking into the Defender's base will obviously be geared much better and have infinite lives while the Defenders will have limitations of less powerful weapons and only 1 life. This game type has had little "Deep" though, but I have played it in Halo 2 on the map Headlong. While it took much longer in Halo 2, it was a blast. It was a game I came up with while playing with some older friends =]. Feel free to add your own gametype and rate others! =D

A well coordinated team can take down any vehicle in seconds. The mantis is way to slow to evade anything and anyone who is using the laser on a mantis should probably not be in the line of sight haha. Shoot it from behind and you would never see it coming.

*Sigh* The news of "Rotations" was saddening to me. Team Snipers should stay around even though I do not like the playlist it is still popular. And Team Doubles should be added permanentyl hopefuly and not just a rotation.

That would be awesome, I always joke about the Mantis as a pre-mature Optimus Prime aka OP, but to finish off the look it needs a thruster pack. What better way to make the Mantis more complete than adding a thruster back. Not only that but one that could be used in order to jump maybe a little off of the ground. EPIC. PS. I can not help but laugh when someone is stomped on by a mantis, it is so dang funny. Talk about a Spartan Kick. Any level with the mantis is SPARTA!

This was a 343i network problem. As far as your problem, Wentz, your internet connection seems perfectly fine, 10Mbps is a lower rate for most high speed internet connections and I am not sure if that is BEFORE or AFTER factoring in the additional lag included with the WIFI speed reduction. I would definitely try shutting off all other WIFI connections: Phones, laptops, portable devices and etc. Just to test and see if it does any better. However if none of that works I would encourage checking the space on your Xbox and making sure you have over 1.6Gb of memore left to help give some room for the game/hard drive to run correctly. Note that this still has a lot to do with 343i servers, but also can be related to game host, your connection and your xbox output. You could get a USB and try to install both Discs to the hard drive/USB. With the recent update to the xbox360 dashboard the xbox360 now supports USB 32Gb of space with Xbox format. Like Wrath said, clear your cache as well. Anything you can possible do to clear up space you should definitely do. Then if it still lags like you say then I would check into a newer Xbox if yours is out of date (not that it has anything to do with it, but older Xboxs are notorious for the laser reader going out as well as the spinning drive in the Xbox 360.) make sure you can hear your disc spinning correctly and no funky sounds are coming from the box. Another thing you could check is your Packets in/out while on Xbox Live. ANYTHING HELPS!

Disregard this post, misread earlier.

I agree, Unseez, and I commend you for trying to help the community. It could work for everyone and then again it could only work on an individual basis. I was just trying to clarify what were explaining in a way. By putting what I knew out on the table I figured maybe you had more tricks up your sleave that you didn't say on here just yet that could clarify why I figured it would not work. But, if it works then no explanation is needed on my end. =D good effort!

They want new, and I back them up for that. Before Lockout was released it was unheard of. Bungie took the time, designed the original map for Halo 2 and everyone loves is. Halo 3 had new maps released in which people loved as well that were not remakes, some of them are remade into Halo 4 now. Why not let 343 make a few maps that maybe one day in the future we can beg for them to remake in later games to come. I want to see new, not remakes.

34 was a mediocre rank in Halo 2. Before any rank updated 16 was pretty decent, 20+ was good. After the updates 34 was nothing special, 40 was good and 44+ was pretty competive. You can not complain about a ranking system that you can not see. The SR-ranks and so on are not even "Ranks" they are levels that allow the ability to unlock armors, weapons and etc. The real ranks aren't visible to players yet. Had you done research you would know that they plan to release this update early 2013. Have a good day, sir. -FaTaL

Let me clarify some of this for others on here that may be reading your "not rant." 1. You HAVE to earn this ordinance drop. You do not get ordinances without gaining points, by either Killing other players, assisting in kills, gaining medals and etc. Not only that, but you do not get "better" ordinance drops for losing. Ordinances have certain drop rates per each game type. These drop rates can be found on the main Halo 4 web page and they are all randomized.. 2. Everyone who keeps saying 343 "Copied" Call of Duty shoud be SLAPPED. Call of Duty was NOT the first game to come out with loadouts for christ sake. Many games have had this before COD. Accoring to http://www.giantbomb.com/weapon-slot-loadout/92-2629/ weapon load outs were "First seen in Halo: Combat Evolved." Their are currently at least 65 games today that include a load out option. So, this "Copying COD" crap needs to be stopped, now. 3. You see, I COMPLETELY dissagree with you now that I have been playing Halo 4 for a little while. The problem is not that they are too weak, the problem WAS that vehicles were too STRONG. I love that vehicles can be shot down with almost any weapon. Back in Halo 2 and Halo 3 it would take a miracle to shoot down an enemy vehicle unless you had rockets/Stick grenades (in Halo 2) or Rockets, Sticky nades or Laser (in Halo 3). So be thankful these vehicles aren't as strong as they used to be. 4. First of all you should never betray in the first place. Secondly, this isn't a big enough problem to even be posting about. Who cares when you can and can not betray. They obviously have a purpose to this if they took the time to speficy this in each game setting. Play Slayer Pro if you want to be able to betray in Slayer. I think they did us a favor by turning it off in some game types. You ever been in a grenade war, you really want your team mates grenades killing you and not the other team by accident? 5. Halo 4 is probably the most balanced Halo ever released in an overall aspect. Given the DMR is pretty powerful but who cares. I find it hard to believe you have been a Halo fan for over 10 years and yet you compare your gaming to Halo Reach, the worst Halo ever made, according to players polls and gaming networks. I am sorry you stood in line for this game. I can honestly say I didn't even reserve the game, I merely walked into Wal-Mart around 11:55pm and picked the game up then walked out. No line, No rush, No pre-paying. 6. You compare a FPS to a game like Halo Wars? These games aren't even in the same catagory, sir. Halo Wars = Starcraft Gameplay type. I am going to go ahead and go now and just assume you wrote this in anger and everything you said was opinionated. Because, I know literally no one that backs what you have said other than the weapons dissapearing (good point there). For the worst game ever made in the Halo series it sure has had a high success rate. So high, actually, it broke all Halo Sales and game play records to this date. -FaTaL

I hope they don't bring back any old maps. We need new not old. If we keep remaking maps then their will be no room for new maps.

I am not bashing your post, because obviously it worked for you. But I am using a Flash Drive to run my maps and saved games off of and I do not lag what so ever. In a sense wouldn't that mean my Xbox (4GB) would be reading the Hard Drive, Disk, and Flash Drive? Now, I am soley basing that off of what you have posted. Here is my perspective, from past experience with altering and modifying files for people on multiple consoles and just for the fun of exploring new realms of gaming I have learned a few things. I do not believe the disk is being read once logged into Xbox Live. Therefore making the laser inactive and only your harddrive actively reading data. The disk is only used for booting up the game and offline gameplay. Xbox live is all on a server and the maps are or should be on your hard drive which is the only thing active. I say this due to how people used to Hard mod back in the day. You would literally open the disk drive and take out the game disc once connected to xbox live and put in the hard modded disc. Since the original maps on the older games weren't DLC available, they were all still on the gaming disc. Which would make it necessary to have the disc to play only the original maps. BUT, Halo 4 has implemented a new technique making it manditory to download the maps onto a hard drive or storage device to be read right off the device, eliminating the disc factor. Correct me if I am wrong, but unless Xbox 360 has changed the way it reads games, this should still be the same.

This map is really neat. I have never really explored the "Forge" Realm, but this really insipired me to get into it. I will be using this map!

How far into the video, or what map was it on that you seen that?
