No ranking system for the exact reason you stated above, no weapon diversity, again for the exact same reason you stated above although I've been using the BR lately and have been getting good results. Forge maps haven't been put into rotation for MM yet. Boltshot shotgun blast being able to kill outside melee range. Flood being absolutely terrible, bring back regular Injection. Severe lack of playlists, getting rid of Team Snipers was a bad move on 343i's part. If they want to keep the community happy they need to stop experimenting with fan favorites. Halo 3 easily had almost 20 playlists and this game only has what 9-10 max currently. If this doesn't change when this big January update hits then there's gonna be some problems. Spartan Ops challenges are too easy to complete. Needs to be both daily and weekly challenges. Have separate loud outs for War Games and S. Ops. Increase SR cap or add more specializations.

There would only be 3 weapons dual wielding would even be capable with so I don't see how balancing would be an issue. The bolt shot wouldn't be able to be charged, and it if was there'd be no way to stop the charge so you'd have to commit to it and the pistol wouldn't be OP because you couldn't scope and what would be the point in dual wielding the P. Pistol. This game doesn't require skill at all. Halo has been changed from actually requiring skill to go far in MM to not needing much skill at all to be able to be on the same level as most players. I blame the DMR for this.

Both H2 and H3 had it and there was no problem with balance. There was never a dual wielding combo that made a player to strong. Well besides the triple wielding glitch in H2 with the needler.

A ranking system would be nice but, seeing as it's not in game and I'd have to go on a website to see it when there's other sites that already shot you your true rank for every playlist. There should have been an in game ranking system. I could careless about rank but, I mainly want one so I'm actually matched up with team mates of similar skill. Not terrible players who can't even break double digits kill wise or don't know the first thing about objective control. As far as the update goes, it's a make it or break it for me as far as Halo 4 is concerned. If they don't add more gametypes and fix the DMR I won't be playing Halo 4 anymore until more DLC is released so I can keep my 100% completion for this game.

Halo 4 isn't a bad game but, the decisions 343i is making is ruining Halo's good reputation. File share should have worked on release day, there should have been a bigger set of playlists on release, and there should have been an in game ranking system on release. This game is making me miss Halo 3 mainly because of the extensive playlists. Never saw Bungie add a game type that people loved and remove it just cause they wanted to experiment with others. If they had pulled that stunt with Reach they would have seen the same reaction 343i is getting now because of what they did. So far I've yet to see 343i listen to consumers. If things don't change drastically when this "Big January Update" hits I'll be dropping the game for something actually fun. And that will not be something I'll enjoy doing seeing as the Halo series has been one of the most enjoyable FPS games.

I had this happen multiple times. Never found a 100% solution to it. I just kept re-downloading them until they reappeared and if they didn't after multiple attempts then I just kelp playing and they would just appear after a day or two.

The two main problems I have with this game is the huge lack of playlists, and no ranking system. Also 343i getting rid of amazing game types such as rocket race, Infection, Assault, and 1 Flag.

The DMR does have range superiority compared to the BR, so that's why I keep myself from being put into that situation. Majority of the time though I never find myself living long enough to need more ammo. Although for some reason today I found myself getting a lot of killing sprees and needing more ammo for my BR then I normally do. I've been using the BR more often then not, mainly cause I'm tired of the DMR and for a change of pace. I've also found myself being a lot more accurate with my shots seeing as the BR doesn't have as much Auto-aim as the DMR does.

Had this problem multiple times. I never really 100% found a way to fix this. I just kept re-downloading them until they reappeared or if they didn't after about 10 times and they still didn't appear I'd just keep playing and one day they'd pop back. Haven't had the problem for about 2 weeks now.

The old Halo 3 game types do need to come back, especially Infection instead of Flood. I prefer Spartan Ops instead of FF mainly because there's a story line to it and it allows me to get more out of the game. One thing 343i needs to learn from Halo 4's launch is a ranking system like Halo 2 and 3 had it MANDATORY!!!! Also don't release such a small list of playlists. 343i needs to take a real good look at Halo 3's forge options and capabilities and mimic it. Also stop trying to make maps to suit every single game type. Maps in Halo 3 were made for a specific set of game types. More flying vehicles need to be added.

This does need to come back but, the only weapons that were even possible to dual wield that are still in the game is the pistol, p. pistol, and maybe the Boltshot if it would be allowed. They removed the needler being able to do so. 343i would have to add the SMG, Plasma Rifle, Spiker, and Mauler back for there to even be a point to it. If it was brought back, the boltshot better not be able to be dual wielded and if it is remove it's ability to charge the shotgun blast. Otherwise we'd have a Model 1887 type epidemic in Halo.

The only reason I would want them to return is to have their weapons and vehicles back. As far as facing them in the campaign and or Spartan Ops if it continues; they were stupid bullet sponges plain and simple. They never used any type of strategy, just rushing in and getting them selves and friendlies killed because of stupid grenade placement and friendly fire.

No Halo 3 never had an Exp cap. Mainly because you only got 1xp per game normally so making it 2xp didn't really fast track you at all. It would still take you quite some time to hit the highest rank. A 5 Star General needed 5000xp, I'm just about there on this account. Although I never hit my 50 in this account =/ did it on a lot of other accounts I made to mess around but, never my main tag. Was stuck at 49 Brig General.

I would love for there to be an EMP grenade. Would remind me of the Power Drain from Halo 3 which was one of the most useful equipment. The Flame grenade will not return at all for two reasons; one because of the reason it was taken out of MM in Halo 3 because of to many people using it at one time it creates a lot of lag because the game has to replicate that for every player, two because the brutes are no longer an enemy in the game. Reason two is also why the Brute Spike Grenade will never return as well. That's probably also why all of the Brute's weapons and vehicles were taken out of both Halo 4 and Reach. It's a sad thing because they had some of the best weapons and vehicles. It would be nice to see some kind of precision weapon from them. They really only had basic straight forward weapons. Well besides the Brute Shot. Their Chopper freaking wrecked Hogs so it would be nice to see it return. I would like to see some type of flash bang. And for the Bio Gas Canister you suggested I would like to see that show up as well but, not slowly drain the effected player's health but, slow their movements both running and aiming. If there was some type of poison grenade I would only want to see that in Infected/Flood. The Pulse Grenade needs to have a bigger explosion at the end of it's duration. I have rarely ever seen a player use these. Their only real use is to cut off escape routes. If they're kept the same I would at least like to see them be able to bounce off one surface instead of detonating at initial contact.

It would be nice to change the color of it and the design from maybe a list of selections but as far as adding your own design into the game that would create a lot of problems like the previous two posters have said. It would be a nice addition to the game but, just being able to change the color or possibly design from a list that 343i has made for you to pick from and that is all.

Searching for the skulls is what made me replay the campaign over and over to find them if I didn't find it right away. I don't care about stupid Easter Eggs in the campaign. I wish there was some skulls that gave you an added boost to the player. Like Dmg boost or rechargeable over shield for instance. Those types of things should only be available if you beat the campaign on Legendary though or using them on a level voids you beating that level(s) on said difficulty. Also I wish the score achievements for each level would be brought back as well.

343i needs to do what was done in Reach, both daily and weekly S. Ops challenges because yes the challenges are finished very quickly and it makes me not even want to play it anymore. Once I finished all the Episodes and achievements for it I stopped playing it completely. Don't even both with the challenges because they're not even worth the Exp.

YES! Another person who loves FFX. Thank you! Wish I had a PS3 so I could get the HD remake

Quick strafing, jump shooting, and getting in close to where the low sensitivity hinders them because they can't track you quick enough. At long ranges the BR is ineffective against the DMR so trying to use it for that reason is plain stupidity. Don't walk out in the open when you know people with DMRs will be waiting for you. So stick to close quarters and cover where the BR's burst is able to out pay the DMR.

I had this happen when I started playing Halo 2 on XBC. For about two months straight I couldn't out BR people to save my life no matter how hard I tried. I just kept working at it over and over and somehow I got through it and broke through my "wall". I just picked up little hints and tips from other players. One thing I could recommend to help with 1v1 fights is to do warm ups before you get on MM. If you have a person to play with then find a map variant to download and just do 1v1 DMR/BR fights to get your trigger finger warmed up and practice your strafing. Also one more thing, when I couldn't get kills with the DMR in this game I switched to the Carbine. With it's power not comparing to the DMR I had to be a lot more accurate with my shots to ensure I could compete with other players using the DMR. Then once I switched back to the DMR I was a lot more accurate with it. Same goes for the BR.

Top 10 no order 1. FFX 2. B.L.A.C.K. 3. Halo series 4. Ratchet and Clank series 5. MW2 6. FF7 7. Syphon Filter series 8. Tekken series 9. Spyro series 10. Jak and Dexter series

I did the vidmasters once and I will never do them again. Way to much annoyance with getting bad players in FF and people who wanna mess around while doing the one mission on ODST on Mongooses.

Can't wait for that to be released. Halo 2 had the best maps and campaign. The super bounces made the online so dang fun. Halo 2 started my love for FPS games.

So glad I got the Limited Edition =]

WOW!!!! I feel bad for you man. If this would've happened to me I'd be telling those kids to take the disc out and break it in half lol This is why this game is terrible. No ranking system what so ever so you never get matched with people of similar skill.
