Yeah that'd be awesome if those dates are right. I'm just hoping that we actually get two arena-style maps and the other to be medium. Though judging by the concept art, Harvest is going to be huge.
Might get something like forge world in halo 5(,6,7,8,9). Apparently there already making Halo 5 so suggesting improvements for a game in the process of been made or about to be made(halo 5) will probably get you a better forge world(or any other improvements anyone wants) quicker then complaining about an already finished game. Even if we get it in 5 we might lose it in 6-7-8-9-10 But least we would have a good forge canvas once again for a year or two. (assuming custom game options are good in that game) Why is that awesome? 10 Dec is pretty close, 1 month after the game came out. Sooner DLC comes out the sooner the population of a game gets segregated and on 25 feb the population gets segregated up to 4 groups: No DLC/Own CrimsonDLC/Own MajesticDLC/Own both DLC. Depending on how they put make the playlists, Then even more segregated when Castle DLC comes out. But we get some more maps so I guess its cool in that retrospect. (Only if we had some kind of *cough*forgeworld*cough* to make our own arena and BTB maps strengthening instead of segregating the community.... oh wait Nvm that's not profitable silly me...)
Hey, do you guys remember Halo CE and Halo 2, which had zero forge capabilities, and very few custom game options, and we pretty much just played the game as it was and still to this day consider them to be the major high points of Halo? Yeah, relax and enjoy the game. Quit finding so much to ***** about.
@Will, It's awesome because I desperately want some map variety! So tired of Ragnarok, Haven and Exile.
Thought so, Just lame we don't have a forge world to make our own (except skybox maps) then include the best forged maps into MM, That's awesome imo. Even when the DLC comes out and you get it, depends on how they incorporate them. DLC only playlist=less players in the playlist. You could say:As long as there is 15 other players in playlist that doesn't bother you? Well more players=larger skill diversity, so less players means more likely to pubstomp or get pubstomped. (More DLC they release or more DLC playlists they make the smaller the playlist will be) DLC incorporated into the default playlist meaning would never get to play DLC anyway So either way it's not that awesome imo, its kinda like yea new maps cool i guess, Except there purposely doing it that way to make money so its like meh imo
QFT. Honestly I just think everybody is bitching because it's not the same. Obviously things had to change, and if you don't like it then go back to Reach/Halo3.
I find it funny how the player population of H4 has ben steadily decreasing since it's release HaloCharts.com - Halo 4 Stats and Charts they just might have to pump in more stuff to keep people interested also H5, already? no wonder nothing is getting done, 343i has already abandoned H4 for H5
People where talking about halo 5 was gonna be a RPG (I doubt it but just a rumor I've heard) And when halo 5 is out will be strait onto halo 6, Takes a year or two to make a game. Since there releasing one every 1-2 years not much time to invest into an already released game (unless its DLC which makes them money so worth there time). That's how halo works now, We have hit a feasible cap in gameplay/mechanics and features (Halo 4 has even arguable gone backwards in some regards) Gotta stop expecting the new halo's to be the newest and greatest halos (like 1,2,3,Reach where) everyone from now on will most likely just be the next stagnant one in line because we have hit that feasible cap in gameplay/mechanics and features, Thought people would be use to it because that's how COD has been working for years now. Maybe they wont just be making yearly stagnant games but I really doubt 343i can blow my mind with new revolutionary amazing gameplay and incomprehensible new features that will make me wanna pray at 343i's church every weekend, For every game to release every 1-2 years. (unless Halo gets milked dry and stops making money and microsoft goes: MC dies, the end.)
I didn't play those missions yet, but a Sangheili "terrorist"? Is that because they're a rebel faction? When I think about it's not so much wierder than military titles, but surely there has to be at least one less loaded generic term for a video game alien, one that doesn't make me immediately think of current events even for a second. [br][/br]Edited by merge: Has anyone noticed any patterns with personal ordnance? It seems to me like I almost always get a spartan laser soon after I've picked up a spartan laser on the map in BTB, same thing for the sniper rifle (after itself). I haven't played a ton, but it doesn't seem like it would be a coincidence at this point. I know regular BTB players from reach who say that they never get high-tier power weapons for personal ordnance in H4 BTB, whereas they frequently get sniped or lasered/rocketed (cannoned, railgunned), to the point where they don't want to play BTB. Has anyone else been surprised by the Aerial thumbstick look invert option being seperate from the other invert option? I didn't see the aerial option, and honestly thought that the banshee not being inverted was a glitch (what with the supposed "day 1 patch" and other glitches, so I am still getting used to switching to noninverted, because I switched before I saw the aerial option. Why would they make it a seperate option? Does it have to do with aircraft video games? It seems as though most of the changes we thought could be problems with H4 are indeed flaws, but overall it's a bit more fun than reach for me. I think the no grenade pickup default with a choice for 3 grenades (alternative to pick up mod) and the explosives mod (simultaneously) is funny in a slightly ironic way (especially for KOTH); I remember Walshy a long time ago say that no-pickup could help stop grenade spam, and now slayer pro has the obvious real solution (not saying I thought it was a problem): one frag at spawn with pickup enabled.
Sigh, are we really doing this again? I'm disappointed in you. How about you enjoy the game and stop being so hung up on what other people think. The senselessness of comparing an earlier title with a current one that takes a step down from its predecessor should be painfully obvious. That's like saying you can't criticise any car as long as it's better than a Model T. People say that CE and 2 were the best in gameplay terms, specifically MP for the moment. No one has ever said that they were better in terms of forge for obvious reasons, so your point makes no sense.
well, I can kill stuffs with the assault rifle on H4. it was stupidly underpowered on CE. it's an obvious improvement
I hope the population does die as quickly as it seems to be, it might just be black ops 2 release and itll go back up (hopefully) but i saw there was like 26,000 people on the other day, and that kinda sucks lmao already sr69 lol
Where did you hear Halo games would be coming out every 1-2 years? 343 spent over 3 wars making Halo 4 so I doubt they will just start pushing games out every year. I'm sure Halo 5 will come out in 2015 and Halo 6 in 2018. So far the pattern is 2001, 2004, 2007, 2010, and 2012. The only reason there was a 2 year gap was because 343 have been working on H4 way before Reach even came out.
