Halo 4

[nekobun]

Not a hologram; I was unloading on both, and neither were doing the blink-out that holos do. Either way, I got the kill I was looking for, but it was ridiculous. I get the simulshot a lot too, not just on shots but on melees where I clearly knocked a face in before a shot should've gone off.

Anyone else bothered by the fact you can't save video of your Spartan Ops sessions? I got two Watcher assassinations last week in the same match, and it was kind of superbadass, only to find afterward I couldn't save it for posterity. Just today, as insult to injury, I did the sweetest unintentional barrel roll in a Ghost while dicking around on Ep 3, Chapter 4. Grr.

who can forget BlacksOut and Insulation Parkour

So people are throwing around a rumor that uninstalling DISC 1 can help with the lag shit on Spartan Ops.

[usedtabe]

I read about that. Never had disc 1 installed so wouldn't help me.

[ZombiePlatypus]

Same, I only ever installed disc two.

Holy shit this review:

Spoiler!

Let's be perfectly honest: Halo Matchmaking was in need of a revamp. Reach was fun but, personally, I found that Bungie's copy-paste multiplayer design was losing steam. Halo 2 had the best maps of any Halo game to date, but was plagued with the overpowered Battle Rifle and cheapness of the dual-wield Needlers; Halo 3 had, perhaps, the most balanced multiplayer and the best (and fairest) ranking system; Halo: Reach was good, but did nothing to evolve or revolutionize the formula; and, by the time Halo 4 was released, many of the maps were half-baked creative ideas made in Forge World.

The fuck happened to this guy to have such an ass backwards view in life

I agreed with him until he got to the part where he said Halo 3 was balanced.

On the waypoint forums there is clamoring to nerf the DMR. I wish I were joking.

[nekobun]

Let the idiots clamor. It'll keep anyone from noticing the Carbine. >_>

No joke. The DMR is apparently OP because it can kill a person faster than a BR by 0.12 seconds in ideal situations.

[usedtabe]

I guess they haven't figured out that with the Firepower option you can carry both.

[N7]

I JUST CAN'T STAND THE LAG IN THIS GAME. I'M DONE.

[usedtabe]

Yeah I experienced what you've been talking about last night. I couldn't deal with that on a regular basis.

[ZombiePlatypus]

Every time you post in all caps it just seems weird because I can't imagine you ever raising your voice, Jake.

[N7]

I need to make sure I get that on every page.

"The cheapness of the dual-wield needlers" made me lol. I played that game obsessively and I don't think I got killed by that combo once.

Yeah the Needler was pretty meh in Halo 2. I think he's confusing it with how OP they can be now and making shit up.

[SephirothX]

Dual Needlers in Halo 2 were somewhat respectable as a threat. I just never used them cuz Needlers weren't my thing.

I love how the Needler is effectively a power weapon now though.

[usedtabe]

I loved Elite Slayer in Reach specifically for the Armor Lock/Needler loadout. It was crazy fun watching everyone negate stickies by armor locking and then trying to needle each other to death. Then came the AL whiners and it was nerfed to active camo/needler loadout. It was Elite Slayer, never meant to be taken seriously or even pretend it was skillful.

[Hector Garfria]

I thought he funniest part was the "reviewer" creating different criteria on the fly for each game.


That's not good writing, that's making shit up as you go along. Literally pausing every 5 minutes to think about what different metric to spout out next.



I friggin bought the season's pass, the first season's pass I have ever boughten While 3 map packs that only come with 9 maps in total is fucked up, at least it's not COD "15 bucks for 3 maps suck my dick consumer" level of retarded.
