I would like to see a spark but johnson died

Remove it from the match making but keep it in campagin. Or at least have an option to turn it off either for game mods, or for the individual player.

I think since there are very few spartan Is still alive, along with the few remaining IIs, they should voice their opinion on the matter. Naomi is conflicted but we never saw how she ended up feeling about it. The chief just came home so hes not even aware of the situation. Ozman obviously despises that she was even in that situation or is just fufilling paragonskys last order to have halsey eliminated. Either way they should start wrapping things up in 5 just so 6 dosent feel like a cluster f--- of endings.

Promeathean vision. Why the hell are people allowed to look through walls? But invis is prety gay too. It promotes camping. Im against camping..

Not buying them.

Man i was playing halo ce when i was 9. Just runnin the campagin onlegendary all night with friends. Then came halo 2 and i got xbl. Moved to a new neighborhood and met a kid who blew me out of the water. So i played withhim and ultimatley played with shook one allot and it took off from there. Went to my first event in htown and loved it. Then i had to travel for H3 man that was the shi... It was fun. And it will probably never happen again

Some of you may remember my belligerent rant a couple weeks back. And since i haven't started any new topics and i rarely post here. I feel like i was brushed off because of my language. My points were there but because of the way i said it people weren't having any of it. So heres round two, clean version because i gave some one my word. Things i see wrong with halo.(keep in mind i know almost everything there is to know about this game) Ima break this down into two sections. Things that can be easily fixed by no real effort or spending on 343s half, and things that require effort/spending. First off, no effort fixes: Take out insta spawn. It promotes rushing. Even pros like ninja ( ima hesitate to call ninja pro ) cant resist spamming x and instant spawn then rush right to the weakened enemy that killed him. Add an x over a dead teammate. This was taken out because of insta spawn. Have players keep moving while looking at the score. Its almost insulting that was taken out. Like, we cant do two things at once. Have players zoomed out when shot. Keeping players zoomed in when they're shot makes the already dumbed down sniper even easier to use. Same goes for the br and dmr and every other gun. No auto join. When i start MM i don't want to join a losing game. I also don't want to join a ffa game half way through. I personally back out right away. But thats me. Drop the magnetism. With the magnetism so high its almost pointless to strafe or make any strategic moves to avoid being shot. On the same topic, fit the hit boxes to the appropriate body parts. If i can only see a players head, and i get a hit-marker with the snipe, id expect to have him killed. After further investigation its registering in the upper chest area. Also i can have the reticule above an enemies head and still get a head shot. Reduce the br spread. It will balance out the range between the dmr and br. If only slightly. Its still unfair the range the dmr has compared to the br. Effort/spending required: Dedicated servers. 343 said them selves that halo 4 is pushing the 360 to its absolute limits. So why are these same systems being used as servers? First of all the 360 is in no way to be used as a reliable server let alone run a game that is putting amazing stress on its processor, FSB and memory continuously. This is probably not going to be considered until halo 5 due to the next gen console on its way. It would make for better game play and less shots through walls. Besides, 343 boasts about the top notch technology at their disposal through the funding of Microsoft. A better spawn system. I mean seriously. Especially in doubles. I couldn't hate this game more when i cant spawn near my teammate, but both the enemies spawn inside my setup. Ive studied the the spawn system inside and out and the obvious intentions were good i commend 343 on the solid attempt. But the obvious result was not the intended one. Better maps. 343 is on the right track with the latest map pack, but still needs work. I suggest enlisting the help of salot and other professional forges who have brought well made MLG maps to the MLG circuit. Texture to forge?? What happened? Ever since reach everything looks the same. Its bleak and boring. Halo 3 had textures and colors and it made everything look interesting. Not a simple blob with colored lines that are to identify areas of the map. Don't get me wrong even though i don't like MM i support the advances in forge from 3 to reach, and from reach to 4. But different texturing options would be nice. Oh and maybe some grass, or a tree? It looms weird having just rocks and everything else is like metal or concrete looking. A ranking system. Im aware of your true skill system. Im aware that if you don't play a certain playlist for a while, you play scrubs when you come back. You don't need to base a true skill system off a 1-50 numbered system like 3 did. You could throw in the numbered system as a competitive edge, i don't know but if you put some EFFORT into it, every one could be happy. 343 is definitely moving in the right direction. Turning off auto join in throw down and throw down altogether has been a pretty good success. The bolt shot nerf was great and game play has improved ten fold so far. It would be nice to see 343 take an active role in their own threads like bungie did to at least make their presence known. I lurk from time to time and i haven't seen a 343 employee or well known member of the design crew post or anything of the sort. I like the forge improvements but like i said the forge maps are so bleak and unartistic. Halo WAS a great competitive game while at the same time has opened a universe similar to that of the star wars universe. The competitive portion was created with a reliable formula for a fps. Bungie strayed far far far from that formula and 343 kept it going by smoothing the edges out of reach. Halo was great for a reason, and is now just another game to be picked up and played by any one. It took skill, knowledge and time to master the game and now i find it hard to distinguish my skills from others on the score board. Its not that im (or any other veteran player ) lost our touch, but that any one can now pick up the game and be generally good at it. I suggest 343 implement some new but not to radical tactical features into halo 5. It looks like this is what we have to work with from now on rather than that legendary game i used to play, so i might as well throw in my two cents...

Cloud from halo 3 was by far one of the best halo players. Just go watch his game play. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NFDW10npizQ This vid is insane

... Grammar? Whats with it? Also 343 was never partnered with mlg.343 has had a contract binding it with vg doctrined by microsoft for quite a while. This contract says no other orginization can host halo 4 other than vg.

I wouldnt mind playing with you. So long as your not 100% focused on your k/d and try to pad it with noob tactics. Im probably not going to be playing much with any one besides my brother were getting ready for a tourney next week. But add me ~ Fatal Recoiil

I had figured halsey would recreate corronna with all the same memories. But it looks like shes gonna be doing some treason according to the latest spartan ops. So either a new ai or osman head of oni will pull some strings because she was a spartan 2 with jon Speaking of osman, are we gonna get another book explaining how she came to power and what happened to naomis father? She is the commander of spartan 4s. And since most spartan 2s are dead or retired and all spartan 3's are dead with the exception of like 5, she should have no command over him. If anything he should be higher ranked than him. Also why is he still a master chief? Where are the promotions for destroying two halos, the ark, countless covenant vessels/soldiers, a prophet, and high charity. And why the hell do they keep putting him back in fights. I get hes the main character and all, but in real life hed be retired after the first halo.

No this would be ridicoulous. Frank o'conor dosent like people who can abuse the system from halo 3. So no ranking system ever. Even if they somehow put in work (like they should be doing anyway) and make a decent system. Never. That would be out of the question. I refuse to change my opinion untill 343 can give me a legitamate answer as to why there is no true skill and people get points for not finishing their kills. Great explanation as to why cod still succeeds as a game. And why halo should never attempt to copy it.

The best way i could describe it is by dying as little as often. Do not put your self in situations at will get you killed unless its absolutley neccisary, like taking shots for the flag carrier to complete an objective. Basically playing smart results in little deaths. You play smart by manuevering the map, not rushing to your death instantly, supporting your team, move the map while staying in decent cover, and just generally out smarting your enemy.

Thanks. Im a little upset as to ow the format came out on the thread.

No. No. They continued to keep reach because they thought halo 4 would be better and halo would bounce back in the community. It didnt most amature, semi pros, and pro halo players simply quit. Along with the fan base. Nobody wants to go back to reach.
