By Hypertrooper Go To PostWhich version is played in H4 playlists? Turbo or the launch state?I'm pretty sure the BR is a 4 shot so turbo.
Also no ordnance drops and weapons on maps make the game far better than launch.
By Hypertrooper Go To PostWhich version is played in H4 playlists? Turbo or the launch state?Turbo settings across the board, no ordnance drops as well.
By digmouse Go To PostTurbo settings across the board, no ordnance drops as well.Well. Halo 4 is pretty good if played like that in my opinion.
By Hypertrooper Go To PostWell. Halo 4 is pretty good if played like that in my opinion.Well the the popularity list showed that, it is the most played individual game list, just below Slayer and BTB.
By Invert Go To PostHalo 3's BR is a diarrhea gun.Absolutely.
By Invert Go To PostHalo 3's BR is a diarrhea gun.That's giving it far too much credit, diarrhea can be explosive. The H3 BR is more akin to a wet fart.
Oh man that gaf thread. I see the mods banned a few of the shit posters at least. There's some really baseless nonsense being thrown around.
Yeah... The MCC still has some issues. But damn. What good does flinging poop on the walls do for anyone?

This is in response to a handful of pages ago- there was brief discussion about Elite Dangerous and what will carry over from the "gaming preview" state to full release:
As we add content like CQC to Elite: Dangerous on Xbox One we’re going to have to reset some data, but because the Game Preview is longer than our usual PC beta tests we’re aiming to keep as much progression as possible. Discovery data and Powerplay status will be reset, but we’re looking to ‘cash in’ everyone’s ships and modules so you won’t lose your financial progress, and you’ll be able to re-spec with a whole different kind of ship if you’d like.
Best of all, we plan to preserve all the Commander data, such as Rank, Credits, Progress to Elite, Xbox Hero Stats and Achievements throughout the Game Preview and even into the full game.
Halo.

I haven't even read the gaming side bit yet but it sounds like everyone there is being a bag of dicks. It's a shame that devs having a presence doesn't seem nearly as appreciated as it should be. Not saying you need to worship or kiss ass. However being such a prick to these guys that are making what you love and trying to interact with the community is such bullshit.
Also Dog fighting in that game is crazy. Trying to learn the nuances of it.
By Wesleyshark Go To PostThis is in response to a handful of pages ago- there was brief discussion about Elite Dangerous and what will carry over from the "gaming preview" state to full release:It's a shame it lost its offline mode, but they seem to be making an awesome game even still. Can't wait to be able to go down to planets. And use an Oculus Rift.

I'm loving the salt this is getting.
Claims of Halo is dead and tinfoil hat theories of "343 propaganda" flying about everywhere.
It's delicious.
By -Ryn Go To PostIt's a shame it lost its offline mode, but they seem to be making an awesome game even still. Can't wait to be able to go down to planets. And use an Oculus Rift.I'm playing in Solo mode right now. Is that what you were referring to?
Also Dog fighting in that game is crazy. Trying to learn the nuances of it.
By Wesleyshark Go To PostI'm playing in Solo mode right now. Is that what you were referring to?Nah they originally planned on the full game having a fully offline mode but they decided against it. There's still going to be solo mode but you'll need an internet connection to play it. Whether that's just a DRM or a full on "You need to be connected always", I don't know.
By jem0208 Go To PostI'm loving the salt this is getting.It's going to be there because 343 worked on it and they pimpedthe fuck out of it. And without population numbers that list doesnt mean shit for dicks.

Well, given that everything that every player does affects the galactic economy/data, i can see why they went with a solo mode instead of purely offline. Easier to manage one system of information input I suppose? I think you need the connection because of that, mainly.
I've gotten kicked a couple times due to game crashes (yay game preview) but it auto-saves reliably, so the internet connection thing hasn't been a problem thus far.
By digmouse Go To PostWell the the popularity list showed that, it is the most played individual game list, just below Slayer and BTB.Did you just quit out of an H4 CTF game on Exile?
Edit: screenshot of shame
By jem0208 Go To PostDid you just quit out of an H4 CTF game on Exile?Router crashed, no idea what was going on, happened couple of times today, it needs a reboot I think. I'm currently playing with no pins and no friends list active in my Xbone dashboard lol. Shoot me a FR if you want to play together later.

Haha, fair enough. Kinda funny we randomly got matched together.
And sure, I'd be up for playing with HaloENT at some point. Just got off now though.
So I guess we won't be getting a population counter for Halo 5 then eh?
I'm just very wary of always online stuff. Mainly because there are always factors that can get in the way of online such as bad connections, servers going down (or shutting down permanently when the dev closes down or stops supporting it), and even just a lack of service for some people. Unless the game is built with online only in mind (as in it has really cool features that need online to use which is moreso an issue with consoles) and wouldn't be able to run without it, I honestly think it has no place in a game.
Though with Elite Dangerous it at least seems Luke they're trying to do something with it that'll be great for the game. If something like Halo were to go online only though... ohhhhohoho... fuck no.

If I recall their reasoning was partly because of the whole universe bit you mentioned.

Wait, people think the population list is a lie? I thought those were joke posts. Lol fuckin lol at that
By SgtOra Go To PostWait, people think the population list is a lie? I thought those were joke posts. Lol fuckin lol at thatNo there are people who legit think that it's fudged lol. Incredible.
So, what was going on with Frankie? I saw someone mention he was getting smacked down. Any details, or is it a silly matter that should just be forgotten?
By Wesleyshark Go To PostNo there are people who legit think that it's fudged lol. Incredible.The illogical dislike of 343i knows no bounds.
By Lord of Admirals Go To PostSo, what was going on with Frankie? I saw someone mention he was getting smacked down. Any details, or is it a silly matter that should just be forgotten?There was a thread about the disconnects in HCS finals and Frankie explained it was a live issue and not MCC issue and guess what, it's a Halo on gaming side so how surprising. Bish end up showing up banning some shitposters, and they expected us to discuss Halo in gaming instead of community.
I did find it kind of funny that that thread picked up 3x more pages than the general discussion thread for the finals.
By SgtOra Go To PostWait, people think the population list is a lie? I thought those were joke posts. Lol fuckin lol at thatI love how many people think 343 is some malevolent entity trying to kill Halo. I'm sure they have all of these malicious intentions, because as a company they want to piss us off and lose our business. :P
By digmouse Go To PostThere was a thread about the disconnects in HCS finals and Frankie explained it was a live issue and not MCC issue and guess what, it's a Halo on gaming side so how surprising.-_-
So Frankie was super cool and actually explained what was going on (the guy that has access to the technicians who were trying to fix the poblem) and people told him he was wrong and that it was an MCC issue?

Also a bunch of people on Beyond are shitting on Frankie calling him a dick now...
By Fata1moose Go To PostI love how many people think 343 is some malevolent entity trying to kill Halo. I'm sure they have all of these malicious intentions, because as a company they want to piss us off and lose our business. :PIt also implies they believe their favorite Halo is infallible.
By jem0208 Go To PostAlso a bunch of people on Beyond are shitting on Frankie calling him a dick now…Is that related to to his explanation of the HCS disconnects?
By Lord of Admirals Go To PostIs that related to to his explanation of the HCS disconnects?
Related to a couple of comments he made in that thread.
Basically: people on GAF throw shit at Frankie, he throws a bit back therefore Frankie is a dick.

Gotta suck being a developer. Anything you say can be used to damn you or your company. I've been thinking on how to deal with this kind of thing when I join the game industry. Funny thing is, is that if I get a job in the story department at 343i (which is what I want to do at some point), then I pretty much can't talk about Halo's story online ever again lest people take what I say for canon.
Shame that interacting with fans can be so deadly.
To be fair to the dickbags, it has been a prominent issue with custom games in MCC since launch. To shrug it off as "Live issues" when it happened multiple times at literally every tournament both offline and online is kind of ridiculous.
Is there even gonna be LAN (technically speaking) in H5? No P2P (at all!) makes me think that they might just use customs.
By Poodlestrike Go To PostI did find it kind of funny that that thread picked up 3x more pages than the general discussion thread for the finals.
HCS time!
Also, the hate towards 343i is ridiculous and childish. They have had some stumbles, and the MCC is still on the mend, but man... humans can be qutie sad.

By Cliq Go To PostWhich Halo do you think is the easiest to be bad at?CE
By jem0208 Go To PostDamn, EG just demolished Denial.Yeah that was obnoxious. Denial didn't have a chance after that second bomb.
2 bomb arms within a minute and 30 seconds.
By Wesleyshark Go To PostHCS time!If people are angry that they released a broken product and a tournament with multiple technical issues that have persisted. Then there is something on the dev side that needs to be fixed. Cutting them slack doesn't improve the product.
Also, the hate towards 343i is ridiculous and childish. They have had some stumbles, and the MCC is still on the mend, but man… humans can be qutie sad.
Plus people have bought new xbones to play MCC.
Being hostile go the individuals like Frankie or Josh is shitty. But not trusting the dev and essentially hollow apologies and explanations. I kind of to be expected in the general "not in the know" gaming community.
By Wesleyshark Go To PostHoly shit that plasma pistol-to-ice kill lol.That cross-map stick did it for me.
Amazing.
By Lord of Admirals Go To PostThat cross-map stick did it for me.That was ridiculous also. What a game- wasn't close, but it was damn exciting.
Amazing.
