    Why is Flood in Wargames?

    Posted: Sunday, May 5, 2013 7:05:50 AM(UTC)

    And also if a Spartan is taken over by the Flood it would be a formidable enemy and might fight and act like a Spartan. What better way to portray this then to basically have Spartans in flood outfits?

    Custom Games Are STILL Unacceptable, 343.

    If Cobb's statements are anything to go by, it would probably only require a small handful of dedicated Megalo workers to put out Customs fixes of some sort on a bi-weekly basis.
    And 343's Microsoft-stuffed pockets are thousands of times deeper than it would cost to hire three or four dudes, or even to just reassign three or four dudes.

    True. I suppose you are right. But even so, in their eyes, fixing Custom Games is the last thing on their agenda. I mean, do they not have teams? They clearly have a matchmaking team that keeps popping out updates left and right, so where's the Forge/Custom Game team? I'm starting to think Bravo and bs angel are the only two people still working on H4.

    While this is no excuse for 343, I bet Microsoft is trying to pull the annual sequel thing with Halo now. 343 just doesn't have the spare time to restore Custom Games. And this is of course my speculation, but I bet I'm correct. In the end though, it'll bite 'em in the butt.

    How many employees work at 343? Does anyone know? Honestly if they don't have enough for a team on customs, they should see if they can hire more knowledgeable Halo players. Hiring Bravo was a good thing to do.

    Do We Still Need Classic?

    If you mean a mix of objective, slayer, game types I'd think that would be a given.

    If your referring to team sizes you can't have 8vs8 and 4vs4 in one playlist you know there's a reason why every halo game has had seperate playlists dedicated to 4vs4 and 8vs8.

    Because they don't mix because 4vs4 maps are too small for 8vs8 and btb maps are too large for 4vs4 it's one or the either and I'd put my money on it being catered to 4vs4 if it does come out.


    Yeah I meant the first one.

    Not that it seems like they will do either.
    If they do bring in a classic playlist it's pretty much a certainty that it would be geared towards 4vs4 gameplay.

    I think the chances of them bringing in a BTB one afterwards are slim too none and I'm pretty sure there's never been a Halo game that had more then one concurrent BTB playlists at the same time.

    Or just an all round classic playlist that has many types of games in it.

    There's not going too be maps of those sizes in a classic playlist if they release one it's obviously going to be for 4vs4 not BTB.

    Which would feature maps that are mostly around Haven's size perfect size for the BR I really can't see why anyone would want to spawn a with a magnum/AR.

    BR/AR is fine since it elminates all complaints the noobs can use there automatic guns off spawn and those of us who want more versatility have our weapon.

    I don't want to go back to spawning in objective game types with a magnum/ar that was just terrible.

    If they brought classic back for Slayer, why wouldn't they do it for BTB?

    That's Team BR's, not Team Slayer.

    Why not have both?

    AR/Magnum for smaller half of maps, and AR/BR for larger? That makes sense to me.

    Another thing they could do to help (the simpler side of) custom games out is release map variants with weapons and powerups. Right now, if you want to have a simple slayer match in customs with no loadouts, you have to forge in weapons. That's just dumb. I'd like to see the same maps but with weapons placed as if in an older Halo game.

    Why'd 343 Remove Campaign Theatre?

    Posted: Monday, April 29, 2013 5:11:18 PM(UTC)

    I was playing Reach campaign recently and a soldier nailed a Grunt with a grenade. As we charged into the room, he yelled "bad guy exploded!" in something along the lines of Patrick's voice.

    It is now in my Theater so I can see it forever.

    Why was this feature removed? There is no logic behind it.

    -Everyone has resupply

    Along with other possibilities such as no sprint, descoping when shot, no JIP, powerups/AA's on maps, no grenade indicators, etc.



    I would love to see a Big Team Battle and/or CTF playlist exclusively with these settings.


    I wouldn't.

    AR/Magnum Starts? At least go with the old BR/AR combo from Halo 3.

    The rest I'd be cool with, sounds good.

    I'd like BR/AR for larger maps, but I think AR/Magnum would suit smaller maps.

    Rate the Spartan armour above you!

    Ha yeah I stopped playing online a long time ago, but when I was playing I was going for a green visor (which I almost got) and the Breach stance. That and the Venator chest piece.
