The Director

They are going to be shifting gametypes around based on popularity. In other words, they will add some gametypes, and if they aren't popular then they will remove them and add different ones. As for the OP, I half agree and half disagree. While I am kind of disappointed that we didn't get a massive forge world, I am happy that at least we get some different terrain to build on. Reach's forge world got really redundant really quickly. Same blue sky, same background noise, same green grass and rocks, even same forge parts. Not to mention that half the maps that were made were either too small or far too large to play on (seriously, BTB is one thing, but a slayer map that includes ALL of forgeworld? C'mon.) Honestly, I'm pretty happy with the forge that is in Halo 4. Some things I'd like to see in Halo 5 though, are: 1. More pieces to play with. 2. Able to change the pieces textures (i.e. from human to forerunner to covenant, etc.) 3. A massive blank map that you can edit the terrain on (they've done it on a PS2 game before, I just don't remember which one). 4. A "Delete absolutely everything on the map" button.

Yeah man, this is kind of a no contest, considering the Infinity can fit both ships inside of it. lmao

lmao The sound of the Magnum is from an actual magnum, but you're right about the FRC. It's from a potato gun. xD

Again, I'd like to reiterate that I do not work for 343i or Microsoft. However, the answer to this question is simple. Because people who pay for Gold Accounts are the ones who make XBL as good as it is. All of the connectivity that silver members enjoy are because of the gold members who've put the money into buying gold accounts. And let's be honest, it's only pissed off those who don't have gold/can't afford it, which is understandable. But silver accounts still get to play matchmaking and the campaign, the only thing is they can't play Spartan Ops (which isn't nearly as good as the multiplayer or campaign in my opinion). So this question is basically the same as "Why isn't Halo 4 completely free?" or "Why should I have to pay for my X-Box?" You may think this answer was formed because I have Gold, but my gold account will have to be renewed here in another couple of weeks, and I more than likely won't be able to get it renewed, so you'd be wrong.

1. Understandable, you don't like the noise. Honestly, it sound more realistic to me (you hear the actual buffer spring when firing a semi-auto rifle rather than the bullet anyway) but I can see how you wouldn't like it.2. Yeah, that's been the case in every Halo game that had an over-shield (literally every, even CE and H2). Except now you can call it down after getting a few kills. On the other hand though, you do have to earn that ordinance drop, and it can still be knocked out with a PP overcharge (after it's hit it's capacity). 3. This is a multi-part one. Alright, they did nerf both AL and the Jet Pack. AL has become the HL Shield, and the Jet Pack doesn't go as high for as long. The reason they nerfed AL is pretty obvious. If you aren't smart enough to prevent your enemies from picking up power weapons, you deserve to be destroyed. Invulnerability is bullcrap in an FPS. AL was mostly used to annoy the crap out of people. And the reason for the nerfed jetpack is because it too was OP. But you aren't so much complaining about that than the AL. And yeah, the TP (thruster pack) is pretty useless, but they are bound to buff that later on. Also, sword lunge has been nerfed, much to my chagrin. Think it's about 3/4 what it was in Reach. It's actually better to just melee rather than try to lunge, because if they sidestep you will miss them. About the join in progress part, if you stay in the lobby you joined into after the game, you will be able to get revenge on those that killed you in the previous games. (:< I've yet to come up with the "ubercombo" that I can usually come up with in CoD games, which means that the balance is there. Every time I came up with something that I thought would be a game winner, the very next game the players countered it. The only complaint I can think of is that they need to make it to where the ammo perk doesn't effect power weapons, because that makes the rocket launcher VERY OP. Then again, the rocket launcher only spawns in once or twice per game (depending on the length of the game, and some games it doesn't spawn at all) so it's not a super massive issue. I think you just had a couple of frustrating matches (I have too q.q), all you gotta do is find what counters whatever is murdering you. For instance, the hardlight shield will stop a sword dead in it's tracks, so if you use the AR up until the player lunges, then HLS, then melee you will have yourself a nice slightly used energy sword.

Well that could be a part of the story as well. They are trying to "humanize" Master Chief a bit more, and seeing his old comrades in arms would help that along quite nicely. And we've already seen what Kelly and Fred might look like (because of FUD) but I would really love to see Linda. I was really hoping they would meet Master Chief back at the Infinity

I'm not the one who locked it, but from the looks of it probably because it was going to begin escalating rather quickly. We try to keep this forum a friendly place (despite the efforts of certain members of the community), so flame wars aren't allowed. So when a topic that you are posting in gets locked, it's mainly because the moderator is looking out for you, because if you participate in the flame war you may end up getting banned. Also, if you have questions about something that has happened with your topics (e.g. locked, deleted, edited) please PM a moderator rather than starting a thread.

Alright guys, I do not work for 343i. So any and all answers given to the following questions should be taken with a grain of salt. Well, first someone has to make a map and then upload it to their fileshare before you can download it. I do believe it works in a similar way that it does in Reach. If you are talking about downloading straight from waypoint, there have been some issues with that. I suggest patience while it's all sorted. Things are pretty hectic right now I'd imagine. The Halo 4 terminals codes? What terminals codes? The only terminal codes I've heard of were for Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary... o.O Are you sure you aren't getting them mixed up? Yes it will! Next week!

DMR is better at range, sure, but in mid it's an even matchup and in CQC the BR usually wins out. At least in my experience so far. That's why I have a class with DMR and a class with BR. For the larger maps I pick the DMR, but for smaller maps I go with the BR. Been working for me. Maybe you should try it.

Yep, this is incorrect. You are only able to use it to see through one wall. Not to mention the fact that a giant blip happens on the minimap for the enemy team to see whenever someone uses it, pinpointing your exact location.

4 shots anywhere and the fifth to the head. Bear in mind, getting shot slightly throws off your aim, so that may be why it feels like it takes more. I do believe pistols still do more damage with headshots than with bodyshots, but I have no way to confirm that at this moment.

I loved every minute of it, but it made me sad

I didn't decide to do anything lol I don't work for 343i. But I think they decided to add a limit because otherwise the people who got the game early would already be finished with the game, and have unlocked all of the specializations, which would give them a slight advantage over those who had to actually wait for the release. I have no idea if they have plans to remove or increase the exp limit right now. Honestly, I really don't know. If they are going to make Grifball a matchmaking playlist, it will be in the TU which is labelled as "upcoming". Which means it's coming soon. I'm excited about the TU because it has Swat in it lol but I do not know if it contains Team Doubles, Grifball, Team Snipers, or any of the other semi-popular playlists. As to whether or not there will be a classic option, I doubt it will be there at first, but they may add it in later on. Honestly, I don't mind it. Pretty much every member here thought that when they first joined (even you ), so I've gotten used to it. I've actually become knowledgeable enough that I can answer most of the questions that these new members have (for instance the one above yours), even when 343i won't.

Well you are having actual issues with something (i.e. a bug). The reason I locked your thread and directed you here was because your thread would have been buried rather quickly, but at least here you can get some actual help by posting about your problem and checking for responses. Also, the stats on Waypoint aren't entirely done yet (or something) and will be fixed soon, so no worries.

TU means Title Update, and we will know when it's been released unfortunately lol I also hope they bring doubles back.

Think you need to factcheck that... I just did and I was right lmao I have multiple playbooks, to which are you referring? Master Chief John Spartan 117, of course. lol I recommend getting used to Bumper Jumper, as that is the only one that is consistent throughout the games. However, as it stands, there is no confirmation on whether or not controller schemes are going to change.

More than likely it is. 343i is a bit swamped right now with bug patches and such, but I'm sure we'll see a fileshare system on the waypoint site pretty soon.

My bad. I thought you had said you were having issues with the servers. I had to redirect about 40 threads almost at the same time :3 I've unlocked your thread.

I know, but it's the best I have right now But swat is a definite! They've even showed some gameplay
