I'm pretty satisfied with how in-depth the online waypoint stats are for yourself, though a little disappointed with those for someone else. You can't even see the things you can in-game from the service record, like lifetime kills/death, etc. Plus unlike past halos you can no longer see their past games. I hope they're planning on updating this at some point :s
I'm not too fussed with palmer. Yes, she didn't have the authority Keyes or Johnson had, but I think the majority of that is down to them being new characters you don't physically meet, or come up with interesting quirks. As for the eggheads thing, I don't she means it in a derogatory way, just sounds more like love/hate banter. Remember Johnson? "Don't let her go, Don't EVER. LET. HER. GO." That sort of thing was so much more engaging that palmer from a distance, from somebody who you only met by coincedence and doesn't seem invested in the player. If she was there from the start, and her character was developed, I think opinions would change. I think halo 4 missed a johnson/keyes type character. Even Lasky didn't cut it for me. Spoiler Also, spartan were always paired with an AI. Chief wouldn't want to be paired with another AI, and from a gameplay point of view it wouldn't really work. So personally, although yes, it would be more noble, etc etc for cortana to remain dead, I don't think she should. She's a brilliant character, and she shouldn't die. I also wish the campaign went straight to the credits after she said farewell and the shield faded, and ended on "Goodbye, John," and then cut the extra scene, or shifted that to after the credits.I hate when video games genuinely make you feel something. And Halo 4 did the farewell so well, I actually hate it.
Hey I am new here, and I was wondering if anyone had a link to a guide on setting up spawns for different gametypes. Using spawn zones and anti spawn zones. I have no idea what some of these things are and was wondering if there was a tutorial or a guide I could look at and figure out for myself.
http://www.forgehub.com/forum/halo-4-forge-discussion/141879-halo-4-forge-tutorials.html First spoiler first vids is repsawn point/zone info. lol Spoken like a man "I hate when things give me feelings" But it was to much emotion and not enough action imo.
Weapon despawning in this game is ridiculous. If you can't get back to a Sniper that you dropped next to your own base in a game with instant goddamn respawn, then you're doing it wrong, 343. Either wait for new hardware or build a game that the current gen can actually handle. I'm realising more and more that the biggest cash cow in terms of Xbox is the 360 itself. It's a game of hardware/software buckaroo. How much can you pile in top of 7 year old hardware before it collapses or explodes? EDIT: also can't get loadout changing during respawn to work in Slayer Pro. Seriously 343, all gameplay decisions aside, you have easily made the buggiest Halo game ever, and that's saying something in light of Halo 2. Open beta of GTFO.
I know, right? I hate how I can die in Spartan Ops with a rocket launcher or something and know that it will despawn by the time I get back to it.
Well the needler is a pretty good weapon, but I dont like to rely on the saw too much.. It seems powerful sometimes, but most of the time I dont have much luck with it.
played a bunch of Dominion yesterday, it was hella fun on Exile. Me and the randoms on my team went for "B" and "C" so we could defend A relatively well, and it was so intense cause A had about 5 guys over in A and 3 else ware. So me and 2 other guys were forced to defend C and B. I took C, the two others stayed at B. I got a resupply at C and got to set up a couple turrets and then a banshee flew through my shields at the base and exploded cause he shot the wall with the Banshee Bomb (dumbass) and then it killed me with the debris. I had the Incineration Cannon and shotgun to defend me with that resupply but died with it. When I arrived I went Ham grabbed my 2 guns defended the base for the rest of the game to win. Really enjoying Dominion. EDIT: also find this pretty interesting, not sure if its been posted already or not http://rewards.xbox.com/halo-4/
Thanks, neverendinghalo. Looks like an easy way to get MSP. Anyone know how much the DLC will cost? EDIT: boo, I need silverlight. Also only counts for playing in multiplayer.. and you need 140 hours of game time before the end of November to get the 800 msp. No thanks. I have a life. I'm not playing Halo for 10 hours a day. I suppose 35 hours and 100 msp is slightly more reasonable, but it's 100 msp. No one cares. What kind of dumbo made this up?
I believe map packs will still be 800MSP. I've never actually seen that confirmed explicitly, but I seem to remember a pitch for the war games pass saying it was a 400MSP discount, so for 3 map packs that'd be 2400 total, 800 each.
did anyone else have thier challenges reset today? I had gotten to level 57 last night by finally getting the monthly and when I log in today all my challenges have been wiped and I am back down to 56. seriously wtf?
Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but to me the boltshot(a secondary) is significantly more powerful than the suppresser(a primary). How dumb is that?
I had no plans on getting 140 hours lol, mabye the 70, but I've already made the 30 hrs and I haz a life.
Spoiler I just watched the epic ending epilogue again, and i was wondering. Isnt it weird that the Didact is talking for humanity, Master chief and then the Forerunners and him very self? Because, you just composed him. It was epic though, and one of the only things i dont understand. And i was forging around today, and i was looking at the extraction crates. Pretty cool i guess. But when i started shooting the crates, they dissapeared after i shot them enough, or smacked them one time. Maybe most of you already knew this, but i think thats pretty cool. Can we do somenthing with this? I hope so.
Overcharged boltshot isn't automatic. Suppressor has greater range, more flexibility, faster reload. [br][/br]Edited by merge: I don't understand what that meant... at all. I don't think it made enough sense to merit spoiler tags, having seen the ending. Obviously the main antagonist or the main effort is at least referenced if not featured in the ending clip.
Excuse me for not spoilering. I thought it was weird, because the didact is death. Yet, he still talks about what happened after the campaign and what is going to happen. [br][/br]Edited by merge: Not dumb at all The boltshot is an force to be reckoned with, and we have the reload glitch on the boltshot. So i think the boltshot is deadlier too. The supressor is quite good at short range, but then again, you can just blast someone in the face with the boltshot..
no sir, all my challenges are still there, and ive not lost any XP. maybe they thought u were boosting or some ****? anyway this gives u another chance to get that monthly!!!! lol
I think I may be the only person in the game who can't hit anything with a charged boltshot round. [br][/br]Edited by merge: If you're talking about Infinity Slayer, then yes, that is a good drop. The amount of damage one can do with a SAW or an OS drops of quite a bit in BTB.
