So there seems to be a lot of "I'm not satisfied with this part of the game" or "They need to change that about Halo 4" topics. I love this game, and I was wondering what you, the community, thought that 343 did well? - I love the map design. There are a few larger maps, but for the most part, they try and keep the maps a little bit smaller than the other Halo games. This leads to a much faster game and keeps it interesting. I also feel like the games flow much more than previous Halo games. I've never run into a point where all gameplay has just come to a standstill. - I also love the way that the weapons sound! I feel like in previous Halo games, while the sounds were fine for what they were, they were a little bit more cartoony and high-pitched. Many weapons (especially the UNSC ones) in Halo 4 sound very loud and powerful. - The Mantis mech. 343 nailed this vehicle perfectly. It's extremely powerful, which is why it only comes around twice each game, but not too powerful that it can't be taken out by a couple of well placed plasma pistol rounds and grenades. - I think (as previously mentioned) that the multiplayer gameplay is much quicker and more streamlined in Halo 4 than in Halo Reach or Halo 3. It keeps the games exciting and you can fit more of them into any given session. Those are just a couple of things that I though of off the top of my head. Feel free to contribute to the list!

I couldn't tell you the answer to that one off the top of my head. But I can tell you that it is probably useful to have a flash drive that is 10-15 GB, just for daily use.

I do like this idea a lot! Hopefully they'll start implementing these things very soon. Unfortunately, though, there's no dialogue on the part of the Prometheans, so there's nothing much to do with "rare dialogue".

I haven't encountered this bug yet! Go to the official Halo Waypoint forums and post this there. I'm sure that 343 would like to know that this is an issue at hand.

I haven't heard much about this, nor have I run into the problem. I can only assume, however, that 343 is working on this issue.

Nope. If this was a gun you could purchase from the menu and keep in your loadout, then yes, it's overpowered a little bit. But the fact that it's an ordinance drop more or less negates that issue altogether.

I think the other alien weapons sound pretty good. I only have a little bit of an issue with how the Storm Rifle sounds. It just doesn't sound powerful at all. That being said, I don't know what I would do to change it, so I'll have to take it like it is.

I'm so glad I found this thread! I've been preaching this to everyone who complains about how THE DMR IS SO OP OMG. If playstyle adapts, you'll win. That's how it is in every other competitive online game in the market. Things will get buffed and nerfed, so if you consider yourself a good player, you'll learn how to compensate.

This. I've honestly been preaching this all along. If people will close-range weapons will adjust their playstyle to be more CQC, they'll outgun almost everyone with a DMR.

Sounds good. I was a huge fan of the way that Halo 3 did their Big Team Battle playlist. I have fond memories of hopping in the 'hog with my flag and yelling at my friend to "drive faster"! I think that when more updates come out for Match Making (which they will) that Big Team will be more expanded and include objective-based game types.

Welcome to the forums! We love active members... and Cortana.

Don't get your panties in a bunch and go do Forge for a week.

As much as I agree with exactly what you are saying and as much as I appreciate a legitimate complaint/request written out tastefully (thank you), 343 doesn't come on these forums. We are just the community forums. In order to have 343 look at this and consider your request, you're going to have to go to the Halo Waypoint forums. And welcome to the forums!

Good times with shotguns...

What are all of your strategies for maximizing experience points in Spartan Ops? Many people say that they get around 6k experience for each completion of any given Spartan Ops mission. I was just wondering how you all decide to go about maximizing it?

Yeah I got that one as well. It's always nice to have some bragging rights, though you can't brag if you don't know what you are bragging about!

Oh how I miss SWAT Shotties...

​Hemorrhage is exactly remade as Ragnarok in Halo 4.

Yeah. I won't pretend to be some crazy pro player, but I have good and bad days. That was one of the good ones.

I found this chart of all the medals in the game and the different tiers that they fall into. To be able to see how many medals you have in a specific tier, go to your Halo Waypoint stats page, go to War Games: Matchmaking, click Bests, and scroll down until you see "Most Medals by Tier in a Day". Keep bumping this list, I think it's pretty helpful. And feel free to post your coolest medal

So far it's been 29 in Big Team Slayer.

Lag is an occasional problem for me as well. That being said, you will get nowhere on the 343 community forums. Post it to the Waypoint forums to make it a known problem and 343 will take it into consideration.

Yeah, you don't often get that close to a mech and live to tell the tale. I also feel like it helps keep the mech in check and not too powerful.
