The Stig

Where is the man of the the hour? He should comment on his new accomplishment. Come now Azaxx... Time to make a speech. Your loyal subjects are waiting for you to make an appearance! Do not keep us waiting too long!

A word of advice to those partaking in the Beta... Please play the game as NOT intended. Why? Because if you explore every nook and cranny, go the opposite way of your destinations, and try to glitch out of a map, or something along those lines, you can help make the final version of the game better. So lets go bug hunting and help Bungie out!

If your saying that Forge Mode was the best in Halo 3, while I respect your opinion, I disagree. Halo Reach Had the best forge mode. It hade EVERYTHING Halo 3's forge had, plus Fixed/phased objects, custom colors for objects, precision editing, rotation snaps, a bigger and better list of items and what-not... Halo 4 improved upon Reachs forge but it removed Precision editing and quite a few other things, so it is actually either classified as worse or equal to Halo Reach. But what I think you actually meant was that Halo 3 had the best Forge MAPS. Right? Like Foundry, Sandbox, etc.

On one hand, Armor Abilities/Perks/Etc. gave players who for some reason or another, can not, or will not, get the hang of a game, a chance to fight back, have fun and win once in a while. On the other hand, these players rely on these so called, "Crutches" and get used to spamming them to get out of trouble, rather than memorizing maps and spawns, mastering weapons and aiming/strafing/weapon combo techniques, learning all the shortcuts and hidden stuff, and actually improving their own skill. The game needs to suit both styles of play. It needs to have a playlist "With AA's" and one "Without AA's". In my opinion of course...

Every game nowadays gets a game of the year edition. Every game out there has gotten "Game of the year" title, at some point. There are a lot of review sites out there, both corrupt and legit, and either the game gets payed to be made GOTY or it receives/earns legitimate the title from one of the lesser known company's, which in either case, qualifies the game for a "Game of the Year" edition. Which if you ask me, seems like an abuse of power, and misuse of the rank GOTY. But what do I know right?

Howdy alex! Glad to meet you, please take a look around, see what peaks your interest, and feel free to be as open or closed as you like! We'd love to hear about you, and your opinions on things! Anyways, welcome to the community, we are all glad to have you on board. The more the merrier, right?

Just a few more Title Updates and this game will be 100% perfect instead of 99.99%. And I wounder what the first DLC will be...

No, Sadly... It only goes back to the N64 and Gameboy, Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Color, Etc. And all the generations of consoles released after. I am not a collector so my collection is nothing to brag about, in-fact it isn't even that impressive, but it is something that makes me proud to look at, and I enjoyed purchasing each one, playing on them, and building memories and other sentimental values with each game/consle/device.

Just in-case voting works like making a wish... I can not tell you who I voted for. Or it will not come true. Good luck to the candidates. May the best one win.

This is great! Really truly, great what you guys are doing! The support you show, the dedication you have, to a very important cause, is truly and remarkably commendable! I love each and everyone of you, here on these forums, and this thread only goes to further my impressions of you. I am proud of each and everyone one of you guys/gals, and I have the up-most respect. It truly is an honor to get to talk, and know you all. I apologize if I ever did anything to offend anyone here, and I will do everything in my power to make up for it. You have my word on it. Thanks for the support to this great cause my friends. It really truly does mean a lot...

Some say "Call Of Duty" is great. Others say it is garbage. But the truth is neither is right, nor is either one wrong. The game is only as good as the person playing it feels. If the person despises COD with a passion, and there is nothing you can do to ever change their mind, then they will dislike Ghosts no matter how good it may or may not be. If someone obsesses over COD, than no matter how bad the game could end up being, they will love it unconditionally regardless. Love and hate, are two equal, yet opposite reactions. Two sides of the same coin.... Yin and yang. The greater ones love is for someone or something, there is someone out there who hates it to the same extent the other loves it. Hating a game with a passion only proves that someone else could love the game to the same degree of extreme. No game is perfect, at the end of the day we will all see the game differently. Some will see the game perfect. They would tell you that there is not even ONE problem or glitch with the game. Meanwhile someone else could tell you its unplayable, piece of trash excuse for a game. Every game needs a fan base made up of both love, and hate. Its all about the balance. You have to play the game for yourself. See for yourself whether or not the game is your cup of tea.

I just wounder if it will outdo Grand Theft Auto V. Will it sell more copies, get more pre-orders, or make more money, than GTA 5? We all know just how well a Cod game sells... Lets see if the trend continues. I'll admit Call of Duty Ghosts, does look pretty good... But the question is, will it be good enough?

^ Yes, what he said. Halo 3's engine did not have as advanced Artificial intelligence, audio quality/filters, textures, or Physics as Halo Reach or Halo 4. The number of A.I and vehicles that could be on a map, or on screen at one time, doubled in Halo Reach. But at a compromise... The improved graphics, audio, A.I, Physics, Mechanics, put the game engine as well as the Xbox under a lot more stress and far more wear-and-tear than Halo 3 was capable of. Halo Reach suffers from massive frame rate drops and "Lag" during splitscreen (and in some rare cases, single player) due to the improved engine I mentioned earlier. But the only reason you don't notice it in Halo Reach as much, is because Bungie actually optimized the game to fix the issue. Halo 4, and 343i on the other hand... did not.

No one like change that happens suddenly. The faster things undergo change, the more violent the reaction (Like an Explosion). Put a frog in a pot of boiling hot water and it immediately jumps out... But, put the same frog in the same pot of cold water, and slowly heat up the water till it boils... The frog will boil alive. People are the same way... Give them big change at an instant and they can't handle it. But make very small changes, slowly, over a long enough period of time and they wouldn't even notice.

I concur. From a competitive standpoint. BR starts are rubbish. But from my inner casual perspective... BR Starts are a blast! While BR starts are great fun, they are horrible competitively speaking because they remove the aspect of finding the BR spawns, killing your opponents before they get to them first, and then controlling them so that your opponents cant get one.

Try these fixes first! Don't write the game off just yet... - Install the game to your Hard-drive (If it already is installed, uninstall it and then re-install it.) - Clear some memory from your hard-drive. The more full it is the more it boggs down your games and console.. Thus creating much longer loading times, and the longer it takes for your game to send and receive data to your console followed by the hard-drive. Less stuff on Harddrive, more open lanes for electrical currents to flow freely, the faster everything will be. - Clear your Cache, then re-download the Title Updates. - Download the DLC. - Clean your console and game disc, or replace them with new ones. And lastly make sure your NAT is Open, and that your internet connection is as fast as you can possibly get it. Hard-wiring your console is far better than wireless because it has less delays, less lag, and no interference, and less chance of being hacked.

https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postst202229_What-would-it-take--Halo-4---1-on-Xbox-Live.aspx <This thread my friend made on Waypoint had some good suggestions. She asked the community of Halo Waypoint what they thought it would take to make Halo 4 (or just Halo in general) Number One on Xbox live... These were their suggestions. (Fun Fact: She told me that 99% of the Responders said that it was to late. That Halo was doomed and could never become number one again. But there was a silver lining... 343i did in fact see the thread, and they heard the suggestions. Most of which said to combine the best of both worlds... Make Halo 5 fun for both Competitive, Non-Competitive and Casuals. Which would mean offering a playlist for both flavors of formula right from the get-go).

True, and its a shame that they could not have been the ones put in charge of Halo. But it is what it is, I guess. We can hope for the best, but prepare for the worst for Halo 5. (Please 343 do not mess up with Halo 5. Offer both the Infinity Slayer experience AND a Classic slayer experience right from the beginning. Offer new content more frequently, create and release fixes and patch's much sooner, and announce all changes made to the game, be it forge, custom games, Multiplayer, Campaign, the games sandbox, or Game Engine, everything and anything. Etc.)

Apple should partner up with Actvision/Treyarch/Infinity Ward.... They have the same style of business and fan bases and would make A LOTA money together. I can see it now... "Buy the new Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 iPhone, and get two zombie themes and avatar awards for your Xbox Live account, Plus a early sneak peak at the all new Call Of Duty: Ghosts 2!"
