Yea an OddBall playlist needs to be put in and it should appear more in BT Skirmish. Most of all though, damn 343 better add some more forge maps and an option to fill in so you can only play DLC maps in each playlist.

Hahahaha, do you guys have hearing problems? I can see why someone might mistake him for saying 50$ a month but I clearly heard him say 15$ a month. http://ca.ign.com/articles/2013/08/21/the-elder-scrolls-online-will-require-a-1499-monthly-subscription-fee

BTB/BT Skrimish only has 7 maps, Settler, Meltdown, Complex, Exile, Longbow, Vortex and Ragnarok. You can't count the DLC maps in this list because even if you have DLC like I do, you rarely or never see DLC maps to vote for. The DLC maps were a complete waste of money because we can't even play them anymore! I usually play Halo 4 for 2-3 hours in one session and never see a DLC map to vote for in any game mode. Each playlist should have at least 10 different maps. 343 should make the wargames map packs free at this point. There should also be 5 smaller forge maps added to each playlist (all the same smaller maps in each playlist except BTB/Skirmish). BTB/BT Skirmish which only has 1 Forge map should also have 5 more larger maps should be added. As for DLC maps, if 343 doesn't make them free, there should at least be an option in each playlist that you can fill in so it only match makes you with DLC players and only DLC maps can be voted for. I would say at least 10-20% of the people in that playlist would be using that option at any one time.

Well I think KD does represent your skill, most of it anyway because it can be easy to get kills in vehicles. This is probably why when you play BTB, you won't see bad KD's less than 1.1 so often since a lot of people who play BTB mostly play BTB. Still, I hope that at least 40-45% of active players have 500 more kills than deaths or less, I would consider that bad and if this was true it would make me feel better for having a 1.1 KD ratio. I have logged about 270 hours on Halo 4 now, I think I will play it for 270 more hours until I move over to PC gaming and the console exclusives not on PC on Xbox one and PS4. I am hoping to get my KD up to 1.6 or 1.7.

http://halocharts.com/2013/index.php I found this website and based on 766 gamertags entered, the average KD was 1.61. That is very high! I do notice more people tend to have higher kill death ratios in BTB. My KD right now is only at 1.137. Still, maybe only dedicated Hardcore players are registering on this site. I would say about 40-45% of Active players have 500 more kills than deaths or less which I would consider a bad KD. Basically, anyone with a KD less than 1.1 is considered bad in my opinion and 40-45% of active players have a KD less than 1.1. Would you people agree with me that about 40-45% of active players have a KD less than 1.1? Or do you think more people would have less than 1.1 KD?

A Halo 4 version of Hemorrhage would be balanced if it was Slayer Pro only. They could also remove Light Rifles from the weapon selection if they ever had a Halo 4 Hemorrhage. http://halocharts.com/2013/playlists_halo4.php Even though the population has declined dramatically. In Recent months, the peak population has always been a little more than 30,000 people on most days. 150-200 players in one playlist is still enough to play. I really hope they add a DLC playlist that requires all DLC, 3 maps in one playlist gets very repetitive. A BTB DLC playlist would be nice to but I hope they at least add an all DLC required playlist. As for more maps, they better add more forge maps soon for all game modes, having less Forge maps than reach and less variety than Halo Reach is unacceptable.

Even though not many people play on the DLC playlists and at most times there are only 100-200 people playing on them, I would like to see more DLC playlists anyway. There are not enough Forge maps, less than there was in Reach, they don't even have a Forge Version of Hemorrhage yet do they? Why won't these developers add more Forge maps? As for DLC, I rarely see any DLC maps to vote for in a 2-3 hour play session. This is true for all playlists. I usually see no DLC maps to vote for after playing for 2-3 hours. What they should do is add a DLC playlist that requires you to have all the DLC maps, it would have all the same game modes as the Crimson DLC playlist that is up now. They should also add a BTB DLC playlist.

Do you even have to sign up? I can't find where you have to sign up, if you do need to sign up then can someone please link me to it?

I never watched it all. I did not see anything wrong with the story, it was just the horrible actors that made me shut it off. The people they chose for the role of "Marines" are horrible! They all look like skinny college beta male losers. None of them look like a true soldier, or a man you would see as being strong, they all look like a bunch of wussy scrawny little idiots. I could not watch it because of this, I don't care if they are just recruits and young, they looked like someone you saw in a University lecture, not in the military.

You are the only person who is mentioning this. Go back to your custom games and enjoy having a bad KD, you may not care but it still reflects on how bad you are at this game. I bet you have trouble gaining the attention of females in addition to being short, skinny and weak. I never direct personal insults at someone on an Internet forum unless they say something about me first. You just come out of no where with that insult and you tell me about conduct? You are a hypocrite.

Resorting to personal insults now? I am 23, in a top University here in Canada and in the Army reserves so the whiny little 11 year old idea isn't correct. Hahaha, why would I complain about people beating me? I have 12999 kills and 11472 deaths right now in Halo 4. You should be complaining about people beating you, I looked up your stats. 5258 kills and 5180 deaths, wow that is horrible! I think you need at least 600 more kills than deaths to be considered a good player. Have fun being a noob!

Obviously it is since % wise, more active players in BO2 have a negative kill death ratio compared to active players in Halo 4.

I must say, Halo 4 is really noob friendly. You can tell this is true just by looking at Kill Death ratios after a match. In BTB, out of 16 people playing I often only see 2-5 people who have a negative kill death ratio. I hope there would be more people in Slayer/BT Skirmish and all the other playlists with lower KD ratios. I doubt even 40% of active players have a negative kill death ratio. Black Ops 2 is a much harder game. One time I looked at the KD of 50 recent players and half of them had a negative kill death ratio, I did this yesterday and 30/50 people had a negative kill death ratio. Obviously a game where more people have a negative KD would mean it is a harder game.

Yea, I am sick of the idiots who made this game. I enjoy a variety of maps when I play a FPS. I never get to see the map packs anymore, they would never add a moded map though.

I constantly see Vortex, Settler, Longbow and Meltdown in the voting selection. Does anyone else have this problem?

Do any of you constantly get Vortex/Meltdown and Settler in BTB? These map voting options constantly appear for me and it is getting annoying. If you include DLC, the BTB playlist has 9 Maps. Exile Ragnarok Complex Vortex Longbow Settler Meltdown Wreckage Shatter The problem is for those of us who have the DLC, the DLC maps rarely even appear! They should have an option for "DLC ONLY MAPS" when matchmaking so it would only have DLC maps to choose from matching you up with people who have all the DLC packs. I would say in each of the most populated playlists, BTB Skirmish, BTB and Slayer, there would be at least 150-300 who would be using the option for dlc maps at any one time. So many DLC maps could be added to BTB. They should also release one more map pack with 5 maps. There also needs to be MORE FORGE MAPS, a Halo 4 version of Hemmorage would be great but would that be impossible for Halo 4's forge? Damn lazy DEVS, Unreal 3 had 30-40 maps without any DLC, but that game is way more enjoyable on PC. I really want the option to play DLC only maps when I am matchmaking in BTB and BTB Skrimish, like a little option in the right hand corner you select it and fill it in so then it would only match you with people who have the DLC and only DLC maps would be played.

I was curious to see how many people in this game actually have a good kill death ratio, do stat tracking sites like Waypoint or Halo tracker keep track of things like this? Such as the average kill death ratio for everyone and how many % of people have a KD below 1.0.

I assumed they had dedicated servers, it was a mistake. Why are you resorting to insults? You are a laughable joke, calling me a noob when you have KD ratio less then 1.0. You are bad at this game NOOB.

I have been playing team objective and every single game has been laggy, I have played 4, finished 2 and left 2 because of the lag. 343 has some pathetic servers, you always encounter a laggy game when you play for 2 hours or more.

Yes Halo 4 is a very easy game, I got black ops 2 recently and I was shocked at how difficult the game is in multiplayer, it is 10 times harder then Halo 4. Still, even though this game is easy I would say about 40-45% of the population have a negative kill death ratio or a kill death ratio that is in the same number range like 8300 kill and 8100 deaths and the rest of the population has 1000 or more kills then deaths so about 40% of people who play this game are considered bad players. I would say you need at least 1000 more kills then deaths to be considered a good player.

You don't have to dashboard, just wait and see what people vote for and if it seems impossible that any map except settler would win, just press B to exit. If you don't vote, you are able to exit before the game starts.

Shutout and Simplex are not new, never heard of Opus though. What are all the new forge maps called?

I started my Halo 4 today, saw the update screen pop up saying they added new forge maps to Team Slayer, Team Objective and some other game modes. I start up team objective, I see Settler in the voting options, I quit. I start up Team slayer and see Simplex in the voting options so I quit. A guy in that game also told me I have been playing for a while and I have seen no new maps. So I am back to playing repetitive big team battle where most people vote for either Ragnarok or Exile or Settler, where I rarely get to play the map packs I paid for because they rarely appear in the voting options. I play big team battle 1 day then play any other game mode the next day, I was looking forward to new maps but there is none. This game seriously needs more maps. They should release a free map pack with 5 maps, that would be great. Each play list should have at least 10 maps, 7 non forge maps and 3 forge maps. Liars 343, Simplex and Settler are not new maps, even if you put them in different game modes.

I think they should release one more DLC, a massive add on with 8-10 maps. 4-5 of the maps should be a free DLC pack and the other 4-5 you would have to pay for. I like a variety of maps and there just isn't enough in the playlists, they better release a Forge Halo 4 version of Hemorrhage which was a great map in Halo Reach for BTB. Developers these days are damn lazy idiots. I mean, 3 maps per map pack is a damn rip off. Anyone remember Unreal 3? That game had 47 maps when the game was first released, I will be sure to pick up Unreal 3 on PC, sadly there is only a small community of active players. Screw 343 and this stupid trend of only releasing 9-12 maps along with tiny little DLC packs with only 3 maps per pack, damn rip off. A multiplayer fps game should have at least 20 maps at launch and each DLC should have at least 5 maps.

Overall I rate the Halo 4 maps 7-8/10, they aren't horrible maps but previous games had better maps. I rate most of the Halo Reach maps 9/10. Boardwalk and the maps packs were amazing, so was spire and bone yard, all 9/10 I rate them. The problem with Halo 4 maps is they lack more visual details that Halo Reach maps have. Most of the m look way to plain. Has anyone noticed how so many maps revolve around a damn circle? These idiots at 343 don't know how to make maps. Wreckage, Meltdown, Shatter, Exile and Ridgeline all revolve around a circle. This game also needs more maps, BTB is annoying, 60% of the games end up being Exile or Ragnorok. I have the maps packs and I never see Shatter or Wreckage anymore, they need to add map pack BTB playlists and put Harvest in that mix. This game is really ******** me off, I have map packs and can't even play them, what a waste of money buying the limited edition to get them.
