  1. Correct, there is no weapon prioriy. However, depending on the bounding radius and pickup radius of a weapon, similar to the seat boarding radius...this will effwct what weapon is displayed first.
  2. A ban is a ban, no matter the length. Thats like asking a cop if your arrest today counts as your first one, when you were arrested 10 years ago. A ban is a ban, and your record doesnt get magically cleaned or wiped just because time passes.
  3. Dont know, and cant help. This is a fan forum, no affiliation with 343 at all. My first thought is....why were you idle to begin with anyway?
  4. ^^ This isnt a Microsoft or 343 site, we are only a fan forum. We cant help you with server side issues. For direct inqueries to 343, head over to Halowaypoint.
  5. I don't know about these responses at all. Given the fact that Microsoft has updated their Live version and software to reflect the focus of Windows Server 8, I doibt the service for 360 will last beyond tje next year. Basically, the 360 was not designed to support major shifts in networking and thus, the newer service versions will not be compatible. Im gonna call it now and say around GDC 2017, we will be told that 360 service support will be cut off.
  6. There are no mods for Halo 5. And there wont be unless someone hacks the XB1 to allow third party homebrew. As for AI, its not as simple as just spawning them or adding them in within a few minutes. There is literally hundreds of scripts, resource syncs, secondary dependencies and a horrid amount of tag data that needs to be defined long before a map file is evwn post processed by the command compiler. I get people want AI. But what I dont get and frankly cant stand, is people blindly criticizing 343 for it, when the same people whining have no idea what is involved and have no idea what goes into it, and cant evwn be bothered to research proper AI development and integration.
  7. ^^ Thats your big rebuddle? You have no constructive points to show anything regarding my response and claims? Laughable at best. I guess thats my fault for expecting too much from someone who actually thinks 343 is its own "company". Proof is in the titles, Bungie did it best in terms of quality graphics, innovation, execution, coding and music. Most of all, real personnel that consisted of actual talent and a true passion for carrying on the legacy. As for your meek attempt to discredit CE and H2, you couldnt be more wrong. At the time for technology and software, CE was created perfectly. Why do you think CE is still one of the top ten PC games played today? If Xbox games like CE had been given similar server support for 360 and XB1, CE would likely be a top ten Xbox game even now. Halo 2 revolutionized online gaming. To date, only Doom and UT for PC had shown what type of online multiplayer possibilities they had. Halo 2 was also gorgeous for its time. The story was better than CE despite its huge setbacks due to engine rewrites and a larger ambition than technology would allow. The gameplay REQUIRED NO UPDATES to make it function, and the community got actual maps, not free or paid filler crap. To daye, the only update issued to Halo 2, was to fix the detonation timing with the plasma grenade. The fact is, wjen a developer continues the series you are supposed to see an improvement in quality. To date, 343 has yet to release a game that graphically beats halo 3 or Reach. None of my complaints are baseless or an attempt to have things my way. My conclusive opinions are based on factual comparison and logical reasoning. Maybe if you could put aside your blind devotion and emotionally compromising mentality, maybe you could see things for they are.
  8. Actuall y, I dont see a really deserving ban here. What i DO see is someone who seems to like talking out his rear on Waypoint in regards to the develolment, downfalls and flat out abysmal talent that is contained within 343. For the recored, 343 has yet to release any type of content or game that even remotely resembles the original Halo experience or any quality close to what a 5 year old Bungie did. Also please note that 343 WAS NOT founded and staffed by "true Halo fans". 343 was developed and created by Microsoft Game Studios and the personnel is hand picked by what i can only call "infant talent scouts". 343 is a horrible group of developer talent that cannot for the life of them rewrite or impliment Blam! properly enough even after a huge learning curve helping Bungie finish Reach. Think 343 is a good group? Prove it. Post some actual comparison content to showcase what they do right. People here can tell you first hand, that I could post actual code and comparison content to show the entire failure of their existence, but such a post would likely take up many, many pages.
  9. we are not 343 and we cannot help you contact them or reset you gamertag data. Head to Halowaypoint.
  10. What can you do? Not sure. We are not 343 so we cant help you directly at all. If you need dirwct, non fellow gamer help, then head over to Halowaypoint.com.
  11. I disagree, I am self centered by design. I am all that matters
  12. This is NOT 343 Industries website nor are we affiliated in any way with ANY Microsoft IP. We are a fan site only, so there is no "correct thread" to post in to achieve your desired result. For direct "possibly be seen" posting, you need to go to their official site which is Halowaypoint.com. Now to respond to this thread and it's posters..... Please stop attempting to lay blame on anyone but yourselves. It is not the fault of the system or Microsoft/343 for your poor choices or inability to dedicate any uninterupted time to the game. Before you decide to lash back and again try to lame blame, I am a father of 2 with a full time food industry job. NOBODY knows time restraints and being busy like a food industry employee. Yet for all my busy dealings with family, secondary schooling and work, I have NEVER been banned from matchmaking or had to quit out of a match because I "I have a life", or because "my personal responsabilities called". As an adult I planned my gaming time and ensured that outside a hospital visit or other emergency, I had the time to sit and actually play. All to often do I see grown men and women complain that it isn't their fault. That somehow it's the games fault because it is too sensitive. Just stop, and own up to your own inability to complete games. Stop blaming others for your actions and quoting the need to be "consciderate". Only YOU see your own problems as more important than the other gamers on your team or the opposite team. Is it fair to them that you quit and slid the scales of balance? Do you think they care that your kid spilled chocolate milk on the carpet? Should it be the responsability of the developers to plan, execute and institutionalize a system that caters to you? The obvious answer is no. When you buy a game and subscribe to "Online Interactions", you agree to a set of terms that outline the fact that NO online experience is guaranteed or contracted to work how you want it to. When you gk online to play, you do so at YOUR own risk and on your own terms. Quit looking for ways to blame others, demand refunds or escape penalties for bad behavios.
  13. I got into gaming because of my grandparents. They bought an Atari 2600 and I became completely addicted to Kangaroo. A Kangaroo with boxing gloves....how could you NOT love that. Anyway, ever since then, I was hooked.
  14. I can give you one really good example of why large vehicles that fly havent been added to any aspect of gameplay. That example is.....go play Halo 2 or 3. Vehicles that fly aka the banshee were not balanced well in terms of collision damage and the almost "cheap" aerial movements they can pull off. Halo 2 and 3 spawned the whole divebombing phase and it really annoyed A LOT of people. I cant even imagine how unfun it would be to have bases pelleted with divebombing Phantoms and pelicans...or even worse, having players jump out of them, causing a huge impact you wont see coming, taking out whole teams.
  15. Ummmm.....Ok? Not sure how I feel about this. Trolling in general is bad enough, but endorsing and showing people how to basically do nothing but ruin everyone elses good time is a real d word move pal. Hopefully this thread gets locked by a moderator...
  16. I say we have someone else take his place so this can move forward. Obviously running it would not be that difficult.
  17. Unfortunatly due to rhe superb number of bugs and blatent idiocy that 343 did with mCC, not many people have even bothered to recreate the custom maps. Since we are only a fan site, Halowaypoint would the place to look.
  18. Any content created in the standalone versions are not compatible with TMMC. MMC versions of the previous Halo titles jave been recompiled and tweaked to run on the now x86 platform console. As to whether or not they will add some sort of compat between the two is likely a dream only.
  19. For someone who claims to know the Halo series, Bungie did not end with Halo 3, it ended with Halo Reach. And as you put it, Halo Reach turned the universe canon upside down. Did you read the books? And please, stop trying to measure your own e-you-know-what by claiming "fan entitlement" or supremacy of your opinion due to leength of franchise play time. If we all did that, everyone besides myself here would be dribbling fan boy baby's. Halo RTS beta anyone? Anyway, nothing your posting is even remotely helpfull or contains any valid facts. Way to revive a 3 month old thread for nothing.
  20. We are not 343 idiot. It is NOT OUR GAME, nor do we really care what you personally think. We are a simple fan site. The foul language was edited out by Doc, and rightfully so. We have young members in our forums who do not need to be exposed to peoples inability to control themselves, and come into a forum that IS NOT OWNED BY MICROSOFT OR 343i and start ranting. Do us all a favor and troll your way over to Halowaypoint. Lets keep trash where it belongs.
  21. 3rd party wireless is god awful, and using a 7-8 year old bargain now lcd monitor is not helping. Wireless gamepads always inherintly have a slight bit of lag. The lag is likely an issue between using an old monitor with bad vsync capability and scaling, along with the wireless controller. MLG is hardly an expert in hardware and setup. If you want to know how best to setup a solid hardocre game station...ask a pc nerd or expert. Asking anyone MLG for advice is like asking a CNA to perform heart surgery. Sure they have seen it, been there and assisted....but that dont amount to jack.
  22. This is what happens when the developers focus on frivolous content filler, aka astetics, instead of putting in serious effort into solid gameplay, replay value and a wide gametype range. I just cant fathom how a product could be in development for 3 years, and it still falls massivley short campaign, gamemode and actual content wise. Maybe if they spent less time touring around the country, participating is ridiculous pointless panels and events, then maybe the Halo fanbase would have gotten a product that truly does justice to the Halo legacy. God knows we certaintly didnt get that with Halo 4. Normally I would see future updates and support a good thing, but 343 clearly did not learn anything at all from the massive failure of Halo 4, and no amount of updates are going to fix Halo 5. Halo 5 = MMC v2.0
  23. No, they told you to go to 343 Industries main site, not is.....we are a fan forum. I know reading and Google searches can be hard, but for the love of god put more into it than clicking the first relavent search result! So no, we cant help you with this obvious glitch. You need to go to Halowaypoint.com and contact 343 there.
  24. "If you liked the aiming in the other series"? The problem isn't the aiming system mechanics, the players are. The aiming varies between every single title due to new or adjusted mechanics auch as magnetism, range, error vectors, and a ton of others. My only problem is that the very first original aiming mechanics in CE DID NOT have any magnetism on human weapons at all. CE required the most skill and you actually had to read your enemies movements and lead your shots. Anything past Halo 2, and you can horribly aim at an enemy and your shots will land.
  25. ^^^ And this big ol teddy needs some cuddles and hugs!
