Admiral Ackbar

What you could do, and is actually a pretty nifty idea. I'm going to do it now that I think of it. Is Forge a map to look like a ship. I think it would really fun!

I miss the Hornet. They were so much fun. I liked the choice between banshee or hornet. I guess they did add the Mantis to the human vehicle arsenal.

I'm rocking a 53 with the Pioneer spec. But I'm slowly making my way up. Can't play as much as I'd like too.

I'm the same way. Even back when I considered myself a "Gamer" I would still have liked this game, despite it flaws. At this point though I'm too laid back. It'll get fixed. Most new things have flaws to be worked out.

I prefer Big Team just because I like using vehicles a lot. And a lot of times I have more than 5 people in my part. So it's just easier that way.

Even if you can't get anyone to help, you could do it by yourself. It doesn't make you start from a checkpoint each time you die.

It's really hard when you don't play with a team. You're never really know how the other players will respond and react.

I'm not an employee by any means. I just don't think the game is flawed as everyone makes it out to be. I have my complaints about the game, but to me those complaints don't make the game that bad. I respect your thoughts and opinions. I just feel otherwise.

I actually really enjoy playing the non matchmaking maps in custom games. I've actually played Longbow more and more in Big Team.

When I play matchmaking, if I play Slayer it's generally Big Team Slayer. However, the past couple of days I've been playing a little more normal Slayer. I know they are both slayer game types, but the game themselves pan out completely different. I don't claim to be amazing at Big Team Slayer, but I'm usually near the top on my team. But on Slayer the opposite is true. I struggle with it. Part of the reason is that I'm simply not familiar with the maps. That is something that comes with time. However the other part I"m just not used to, is how people play the Slayer match. It's weird to see shotguns being utilized. In Big Team Slayer that very rarely happens. The TEAM in a normal team slayer is much more important. In Big Team Slayer you can have someone do really bad and still win. Not the case in normal Team Slayer. If one person does bad, your entire team will suffer. It's a lot harder to carry dead weight, when the teams are smaller. I'm just curious if anyone else has noticed the same thing. Did I miss anything?

I don't think the larger ships would work out that great in the Forge. But I wish they would bring back the Hornet. That always made things interesting.

The game is finished. The core game works. The only issues people are experiencing are with the added bonus features. Features that have never been released with a Halo game. i.e. the specs email release

The Ordinance drops that happen at the the beginning of the map and the random ordinance drops are no way like CoD. The personal drops I'll admit do remind me a bit of CoD. But not the random and instant ordinance drops. That's my take on it.

I end up playing quite a bit of Complex.

In insane amount of Hunters. As for dropping a duo of hunters. That's just been the way it's been since the original Halo game. You very rarely encounter 1 Hunter. I just remember in Halo CE when you saw a Halo it would be a big deal. In Spartan Ops its just like, yeah another Hunter..

What about Vortex? I never really play that map. But I had the opportunity to play it a couple of times. Still not a huge fan of it, probably because I don't know where the weapons and what not are, but it seemed to have a good balance of distance and in your face combat.

Never hurts to try. The worst he'll do is say no.. And hit you with a hammer.

That's awesome. I wish I could post that in the shoutbox..

I don't. Honestly when I play I don't see many power weapons.

It would be cool. But honestly the Elites didn't play a huge part of the game this time around. So it would be kind of random to let you play as them.

The Banshee is fairly weak. But the majority of the vehicles are much weaker in this game. Or perhaps the weapons are just stronger. It can be very frustrating at times, but at the same time it adds a twist to the game play. No more owning on a map because you have a Banshee.

All the missions? do you have a vid of it?

Does anyone else think that there are too many hunters in Spartan Ops on Legendary? I like the idea, but it seems like in Episode 3 there were more Hunters than grunts (that's sarcasm.) But still, maybe they could tone down the amount of Hunters in Episode 5?
