I've been enjoying the dev so far, hopefully it keeps up!

Longbow is a classic Big Team CTF map. I'm really having a blast with the new playlist!

Any overall pointers would be fantastic. The GIMP layout is completely foreign to me, and I'm a pretty extreme beginner when it comes to photo editing.

To everyone around here with experience with Photoshop, GIMP, or other editing software, where and how did you learn? I use GIMP for making Pixel Art, but I'm really looking to get in deeper and actually edit some photos for signatures and such. Any help from the vets of editing would be appreciated!

Pretty much, yeah. Game reviewers tend to try to be unbiased (at least most of them), but if they were all unbiased, they would all have the exact same reviews and scores for a game. Everyone is different, and even though graphics might be bad or you might not like the gameplay, that doesn't mean you have to hate the game. Everyone has a game that they love but everyone else hates. I'd say that how "good" a game is, is based on what you define as "good", which means the game is good to you specifically. To put it simply, there's a reason that review websites use a numerical (1-10 or 1-5) system to rate games, instead of writing a review and saying that "this game was a lot of fun and very good", because "fun" and "good" are subjective terms, meaning that they come from the scope of one's experiences and personal tastes, contrasted to the number system which is objective. It's all about how you, the player, define "good", "fun", things like that.

Not really, at least I don't think so. I think the people who are worrying about population are people who are worrying about the Halo franchise going downhill. I don't agree with them all the time, but I think that's the ultimate concern and I respect that opinion because I love Halo as well. That being said, all of the "Halo 4 sucks" and "Why Halo is awful" posts are getting out of hand. This forum breeds discussion, and ultimately, criticism. My only request is that if people are going to post negative criticisms about the game, the forum, or the franchise, please do your best to do so tastefully and with tact, as it often breeds for better, more thought-provoking discussion. I love Halo 4, and I love this forum.

I like the Halo 4 multiplayer a lot, but the way Halo 3's MLG playlist was set up was just about all I could ask for out of a competitive playlist.

It's not fair. That being said, stuff doesn't work perfectly all the time. Stuff goes wrong and you have to adapt. Nothing about any game is going to go perfectly all the time. If this is the most frustrating Halo experience you've had, consider yourself lucky, I suppose. It's a bummer for sure though.

I came here expecting to answer a programming question. Nope.

Nope.

You've also gotta remember that Microsoft owned (and controlled) Bungie for a long time until they finally split off to make Reach. I'm sure there's some weirdness/bad blood going on between those two companies, so I'm not really surprised that they're leaning more towards the PS4.

I'd say everything looks better in Halo 4. It's one of the best-looking games I've seen. Best skyboxes in video games.
