In a nut shell, he is saying that Latin America or the greater Latin Americas being Mexico, Brazil, Chile, etc... are really starting to play Reach more or have just started to really get the game into circulation. Furthermore, it seems he is trying to tell 343i that because the player population dwindled due to Halo 4 coming out amongst other things, that they would like to see future updates to the game to benefit the latin community. Here is a rough to the letter translation... DID NOT FIND ANOTHER MEDIUM TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU, THE REASON WHY YOU WRITE IS TO ASK THEM TO NOT LEAVE BOTH HALO REACH... ARE YOU 343 INDUSTRIES BEGAN ALREADY WITH 4 HALO... AN EXCELLENT GAME, BUT WE HAVE MANY PLAYERS OF HALO REACH... NOT THE LEAVE, THIS IS WHY I WOULD LIKE TO ASK ON BEHALF OF MANY PEOPLE OF MEXICO AND LATIN AMERICA TO MAKE UPDATES TO THE GAME, MATCHMAKING MAPS, PUT LOGOS FOR THE GAMERTAG OF 343 INDUSTRIES OR SOMETHING MEMORIAL OF HIS COMPANY, RETURN TO TAKE THE FLAMES BLUE FOR THE SPARTANS, ETC... I WISH SOMETHING COULD BE DONE... THE COMMUNITY OF HALO REACH WE WOULD BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL... And just like that...I'm gone again.

Short and sweet, there is nothing left for me here. There is nothing I have left to contribute or try to teach such a shattered and divided community/fanbase. This place was home for me once, but no longer. To the quite literal select few I could stand or even call friends, that still remain here....good luck. Hopefully those that remain and have more patience will live to see this forum return to what it used to be. Until such a time comes, I take my leave with no regrets. Peace out my *******!

Wow, way to just stoop to a low level and bash me. I come in here trying to keep it cool and give people a different perspective or explanations, and all you can do is reply like a child? very mature and good on yah mate. Suggestion to the mods...keep these types of people in check better. next time I get something like this, it isn't gonna be pretty. Staff, you have been warned. Good luck around here Charger...your clear on your way to becoming a great member.

Like Mah3m said x1000. You completely discredited yourself by calling 343i 939. Learn the studio developing the game before you boast such claims about certain aspects being gimmicks or unneeded. And no it's not called dynamic armor..it's called armor permutations. Static meshes or "static armor" is a more suitable and correct term. Nothing is unneeded, as 4 is simply expanding upon what it built with Reach, and expanding to compete with what is now considered the "norm" for a modern FPS title. Times are changing and have changed since 2007 bro...you gotta learn to roll with it a bit better.

Man with so many memories and great friendships made here, it's a shame we really do come from all corners of the world. I would love to have a 343i get together someday and really hang with most of you guys. I'm sure it would be priceless epic fun to talk about for years to come! But sadly I think AD and Derp are the only 2 close to me.

Classic, just classic. Gotta love old school favs like double speed, increased jump height autoaim and bottomless clip. Most of these mods require host to use though, but there are some that don't. It all depends on what mod they actually used. Hopefully people like this will get IP banned in the end once they lookover the insane amount of GT bans originating from the same person.

man, I remember the old forums. So devoid of life. hard to believe I was here way back then. So amny people have come and gone, and are still here. So many memories to recall and so little time. I'll just say this, if not for the real friends I made here (those I talk to via phone and text), my life would be a much sadder place to be. AD, I never grow tired of the funny ass things he get into and say. Jester, your a trooper and an awesomely funny guy. I couldn't imagine a forum without you guys. So thanks for the memories, and here is to making hopefully...a million more!

Again, keep it civil guys. 343i promised nothing. Aside from the graphics we ended up with, with the "actual" in-game renderer...we got exactly what we were shown. I keep hearing about we didn't get what they promised. I fail to see any aspect of the game besides graphics, that didn't live up to one quotable or documented item. Anything else is just personal taste being trampled on by the developer. Second, about weapons...yes every game had weapon issues. I keep hearing about this Incineration Cannon problem. Saying it can take out teams in total, and that it is OP. I didn't hear quite nearly the amount complaints about the target locator, that the IC is getting. The target locator was even worse since it could track vehicles. And the splash radius on it was well 4x the IC. But again, not everyone in the population sees or comes across the IC as a problem. it may just be abd luck or bad timing when playing a particular playlist. Third, the online numbers don't mean anything unless it comes directly from 343i or Microsoft themselves. Secondary and third party number runners can pull and tweak data any way they see fit. And no one person can log-on at a particular time and see the overall big picture. You would literally have to login for a week straight and be on 24/7 to get a fully accurate average number count. Again, sites like halocharts don't equate to squat. And yes, not having bungie developign the title is the major underlying cause for the hate towards Halo 4. Just like Reach, as a stand alone halo title it is quite good. But subconciously, people still can't shake the Bungie love out. I've seen a lot of games suffer this effect over my 30 years of gaming. It gets worse before it gets better though. As for the decline of Halo...it is more than just a decline of Halo. Shooters themselves are not as popular as they once were. Shooters now or days are churned out in droves, and usually focus around a common metric. Not to mention that now that the economy has declined significantly, gamers make wiser and more carefull choices with their purchases. There are a myriad of factors that effect a games sales, not just the gameplay.

Well assuming your running Windows 7, you should just be able to plug it in, then windows will install the drivers you need, as it has them by default. From there, it's just the same instructions I already gave you. Just make sure the controller is actually working with another game, then start up halo.

Dude I am so sorry I never got back to you. I went over my mom's yesterday to have my wife a birthday party, and I didn't get home till late.. Without screenshots, I'll give it a go now. First thing is first, make sure you have the wireless reciever and 360 controller already on and working. IF you have to load another game to test it, please do. Unfortunatly Halo CE doesn't allow you to use a controller once the game is already loaded without it present. Next, go to "settings", then go to "Gamepads". If the controller is working and on, you should see the 360 controller on the right side of the screen under "Available Devices". Go ahead and use your mouse and click on it, and it will move it to the "Devices in profile" field. Next, exit out of that menu and go to "Control Settings". By default the game does not allow 2 of the same buttons to be assigned to 2 different actions. The buttons you need to change is the "Action" binding. You will notice that "reload" is the only assigned actionable button, assigned to "X". By changing the "X" button binding to "action", you will be able to use doors, reload etc.... Once you have that setup and all your other sensitivity, stick and button layouts set, you can then proceed to playing the game.

The first MoM you should hide your kids from! Literally...why are you still reading this? RUN!!!! Congrats Church. Wlcome to the club my man!

I can help you with this one, but I'm not at home right at the moment...so once I get home later tonight, I can write up with pictures, a quick guide on how to get it running. Be warned though, for some reason the 360 controllers don't respond 100% and sometimes you will find yourself strafing without even hitting the sticks. Best to play it with mouse and keyboard or a modded Xbox 1 controller.

Camo campers have been around since the beginning, it's not something new to complain about. Long time veterans know better than most, that you always lob a nade around a corner before blindly going around and getting stomped. Same can be said for those who visually know what to look for from playing A LOT. It is kinda hard to miss the visual distortion of camo...

Sgt Major Johnson = Louis Gossett Jr. Master Chief = Guy who played Colosses in Xmen. He's big enough... Cortana = Sandra Bullock Dr Halsey = Jamie Lee Curtis Jacob Keyes = Kevin Costner Miranda Keyes = natalie Portman Lord Hood = Ron Perlman

My only addition to this, is the "Former Bungie Employee" remark. Simply because they worked for Bungie, does not mean that they worked long, worked well or even produced any great quality content. Bungie had hundreds of employees and not every one of them was quality I am sure. More over, simply working for a developer does not give you equal, current or sufficient knowldge to work effectively or efficiently in a new engine or a derrivative engine of something they "once" worked on. For all we know, 25% of the Bungie employees they aquired could have been coffee runners or toilet scrubbers. Employees grow and learn as they work, they never know it all or become perfect in any way. When people speak about needing to elarn to do things, or ways to get things done better, that is a resonable and fair assesment of an employee. The employees of 343i surely want to do and get better at their job, and without criticism and sometimes harsh realities...they will never get better or improve.

As most of you heard by now, I lost 99% of all my Halo 2 lifes work. As of late I recovered portions of my work that will allow me to continue my Powerhouse map and Reach weapon sets. As I have just found, I have a revitalized motivation to improve what I already made....and that is where the community comes in. I am in need of clear mp3 format sounds of all weapons being switched to, fired and reloaded. If anyone out there has a capture card and is willing to do so, please go into Reach or Halo 4 in a quiet, nkn-ambient sounding map, and record the weapon sounds. Your efforts can really help me to bring the weapons I made to greater life, and your work will be credited. Once sounds have been made, just pm me a link to the mp3 files or post them here. Thanks in advance guys!

I don't get it? Am I reading the title and wording of this right? OP, your saying 343i is an independent studio as joining MS instead of MLG? That is not correct. 343i is an internal division of Microsoft. 343i isn't their own studio or developer. Not sure if that helps you at all though, as it seems your pretty mad and bummed about MLG being deal-less.

I need to own up to some rather harsh words and ill directed criticism towards a few people here, and the community overall. The other day I made a status update that was not needed nor very nice. For that I am sorry. Also to a few people in the Halo 4 forum section, a lot of what I said was not nice or worded in a constructive manner, and for that I am sorry. A lot of what I have said and posted in recent week has been out of line, and very unbecoming of me as an older member of this site. I know a lot of people look up to me, and see my older member status as "role" model of sorts. I am sorry to anyone I have let down recently. Now on to the sorry excuse as to why I have been out of mind lately. As of today, I officially report that everything, and I mean everything, that I worked on in my life for halo 2, has been lost. I don't report this lightly or take it with any degree of happiness. everything I was and or is working on, is not usable or recoverable to any degree. This alone has sent me into a red frenzee of hate and torment. If at all i come across short with anyone or say something that seems out of character from my usual self, please take it with a grain f salt. Additionally I may just take a small elave until I can sort myself out from this.

Everything is always better with bacon around. If you gotta go, you gotta go. take care friend. See you around hopefully.

If you were really sorry, you would be on more period!!!! Just kidding Elfy. I feel your pain and know it all too well. These types of thigns are a real wallet buster. Best memorial is soemthing small and meaningfull to you and close family. That's what we chose for my mother-in-law. Take your time and find your bearings, there is no rush in coming back. Your loving communal freinds and I will still be here when you can finally come back with a clear solid frame of mind. Take good care of yourself and your family in this painfull time. If you ever need anything or need a shoulder I am here for you.
