You mean you don't want to rock a female spartan with some ryu hayabusa armor?

I don't know about you guys, but  I've kind of wanted a 3rd person Halo game since 3. I like the way my Spartan looks when you see them while your holding a detached turret.

Im waiting for fucking waypoint to support Halo 4- screens! wanna share em!

Sounds like there should be an option to fuck every in the end, like in ME3 lol

This game's plot surrounds the synthesis ending of ME3

Wait wat, someone actually wanted to copy that bullshit?

Seems like if you have the spec code there is a glitch to get the new map pack for free and ms is not doing anything.

Anyone have a spare one?

Sorry my mistake.

The Specializations code.

I guess you got them if you played the game before November 20th. I guess it unlocks character progression. I don't know, all I know is that it's needed for the glitch to work.

According to Cheapassgamer,

Load up Halo 4.
In the Main Menu click Xbox Live Marketplace.
Halo 4 Crimson Map Pack will pop up with 0msp.
Download.
You won't get banned.

Seems like it may have been fixed.

Has anyone gotten the SpOps cheevos? I just tried one in mathmaking and it didn't pop. Are they custom/solo only?

Tried some of the DLC maps.

meh.


I prefer my Halo nowadays sort of smaller scale. I'm not really overly fond of big team slayer with vehicles and the maps seem largish with vehicles.

Hopefully they put some forge matches into the rotation. "There is a current lack of good smaller maps.

There's a current lack of any maps.

CTF goes like this.

3? options come up. One of them is either Ragnarok or Complex. If Ragnarok comes up it's going to be it 95% of the time. CTF only has basically a 4 map pool. So bascily more then 50% of my time in Halo 4 has just been on this one map. I have yet to play on 6 maps already in the game that seem perfect for CTF.

It's honestly made me stop playing the game. I need some variety in the game and don't want to just play on the same maps. It already sucks that I can't play full CTF matches. I really can't stand this matchmaking system anymore.

Well I don't even think that's an issue, not for me anyway. Or well not yet, since I don't know the quality of over half the maps.

I would like them simply to put more maps in the actual playlist. The map pool of CTF is only 4. This makes no sense to me when you have at least 5 other maps(plus forge variations 343 could have made) that would be perfect for this gametype. It's made worse with the veto system since people tend to like playing on the popular maps only.

I don't know what the other playlists are like, I just play CTF and 95% of the time I'm playing on 1 map. I would love to play other maps.

Really though I would love to play BTB CTF, but I can't. And honestly this makes no sense. If people want to play team snipers, they should be able to, yet I think it's a constant in flux playlist. Why?

I put in Black Ops 2, which has a similar matchmaking system. There are tons of playlist and at least 1 for every gametype. I think since 4 they figured this out. I'm pretty sure someone who wants to play HQ can play it in CoD. While it's not the "here's a server list, find what you want of BF3 on PC online games" it's still better then up to whatever 343 does.

I mean I guess, there is an excuse of "well maybe the playerbase won't be able to support it". Well I call BS. Sure Halo is'nt CoD, but it's pretty damn popular. I'm sure the game could support a lot more playlists then it is now and if it dosen't then though. I rather be allowed to try and play BTB CTF then not be allowed at all.

There are plenty of maps, they just segregate them by playlist so if you don't jump around, there are some you never see. And there are three Forgeable maps that are not present in matchmaking AT ALL, nor any derivatives of them. If they just put those three in the maps it'd fix the problem, or even put out some custom versions of them for even more variety.

it feels like its gotten better since the patch the other day. they weighted against the overplayed maps and i swear they customized more maps for game modes. i played ctf today on a map that had never offered it before

So evidently there was some kind of fuckup with MS releasing a map pack for free if you played during the first few days?

Thats good to hear.

Yep. It was a glitch apparently. If you played before Nov. 20th you could receive a specialization code. With that activated, apparently the Map pack came up as 0 MS points.
