Nope. If that was the case, people would just boost their way to all of the armor. Custom Games won't net you experience points for your SR, and commendations give you XP, so by and large no, they won't work towards commendations.

Not quite sure why this was necessary. He's got a point. Honestly, anyone who says that this game could have been put together in a few months is crazy. I love the maps, especially when compared to Reach. I feel like Reach was much more duller colors, while these maps have great skyboxes and are much shinier for the most part. It make them just fun to play on. I've not really had a bad experience (save with Vortex) with these maps, and they work really well.

Same. Nothing was more annoying than all sixteen people in a BTB match flipping their votes over and over again.

Awesome pull! I definitely needed to hear this. I'm glad... it clears some stuff up for me.

I wish there was. I'm not there yet, but I've made it a point to get 100% in all the Halo games with Achievements, and I don't plan on changing that now.

I enjoy both the SR system AND the 1-50 system. I can see having them both pretty easily.

This looks like an absolute blast!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=5JupcG7cIo8 Check this new feature out! It's a new thing we're (hopefully) starting soon here on the forums! Don't start sending me videos yet though, but definitely get them ready! I'll be sure and keep you all updated on if/when this is going to happen and when everything will be open for submission. Update: So basically what I'm going to need, at least as of right now, are videos (preferably in .mov or MP4 format). For now, just send me one video per person until I get everything worked out! Here's the format that I would like for now. Make sure that the video is first person and has the HUD on (but not displaying the player name) unless you need to zoom way out to fully show it. Also, please try your best to keep submissions under twenty seconds. Gamertag: What makes the video top ten worthy (killtacular, streak, clutch play etc...): A quick synopsis of the game before and after the clip: The video (.mov or MP4): Thanks for your participation! I'm sure this will be awesome!

It's disappointing, but moreover it's just a silly way to get the specializations unlocked. I would have thought that they would've been able to see this coming while making the game and thought of a better way to do it. I'm an unfortunate one where my email no longer existed. It's annoying, but it's not really a problem for me either, as I'm only SR-42.

FFA Throwback. More specifically, FFA King of the Hill. Just a grenade fest and people trying to get multikills all of the time.

This exactly. If everyone had a railgun... you would be having a bad time.

I've got a good feel for how SWAT plays, and it feels pretty good in this game. The killcam, on the other hand, is extremely buggy and in it's early state. I bet that the gameplay is fine, but the killcams are just extremely buggy right now.

I really hope that they raise the cap! I don't think it's an extremely strenuous thing to do on 343's part, and it would motivate a lot of people. Personally, I'm a massive fan of the prestige system and I wish that they'd implement that in Halo rather than making levels with XP requirements so high that it seems impossible to get there (though people would just complain that they copied off of CoD...).

While I ultimately agree with you, I would say that form a business standpoint companies don't want to risk isolating the hardcore fans and throwing out the casual players into the wind by enforcing a very strict policy. I obviously can't say that it would work one way or another for sure, but I'm sure that that's a risk that businesses don't want to take, especially a leap of faith with a franchise like Halo.

I just always disagree when people say there's "no skill". If that was true, everyone would be MLG. There' a reason that MLG guys are actually coming to Halo 4 instead of skipping it like they did with Reach. This game feels like Halo. Maybe not exactly the same Halo that it always did, but look how that worked out for Reach.

Definitely co-op. I always have more fun with friends rather than alone.

True! I totally forgot the context in which you play matchmaking. What the hell... add those choppers!

Strong. I usually try and use it to destroy vehicles when the opportunity arises. It's got a quick reload time and that makes it very effective. Sometimes, though, I'll just go and kill some people on foot with it It's a blast (literally)! I would say that it's either my first or second choice from ordinance, probably more of a second choice and I select it on a situational basis (i.e. if there are lots of vehicles).

I wouldn't say that it would be a good or bad thing, just really, really unnecessary. I think that 343 have bigger things to worry about than to implement this system. Also, I don't see that there are enough weapons that would warrant a dual wield other than sidearms (and at that point, the boltshot would really become OP).

I hope they do! I love the way matchmaking is right now, but I must say that the most fun I ever had was in Halo 3, and I'd love to recapture that same magic. I hope that CoD does self-destruct (because they will) and maybe those games will go in a different direction after all. Also, I don't think I ever formally said welcome to the forums... so, welcome!

I love the idea of it, as long as they keep putting story beats and CG scenes in them.

I can't say that I've ever heard of/seen a sticky grenade aim bot. One thing to consider is that the way that stickies work in Halo 4, at least for now, is that they have a little bit more, shall we say, "homing" on them. They will get nerfed, but they do this goofy thing where, especially if you are in a vehicle, they'll almost change direction to hit you. It's strange, but that combined with lag might cause some issues. And you're welcome for the welcome

Yeah let's not attack people... If you look closely there is an elevation marker. Basically it looks like the dot with the person and little arrows, up for above, down for below. Like this: ^ ^ O and the other way around.

Yeah this is basically where I am with things. It's got flaws, it does, and they will be fixed, which is why I'm not concerned about it. Maybe I'm just too casual a player, but I'm always having a blast with things and I love the game as it is right now, and I'm excited for it to get better and better.
