Spartans never die

Adding on to this, who says an inferior fleet of UNSC vessels can even handle something like a Forunner Ship

the Neo ODSTs are effective at mopping up anything the Marines couldn't handle. Master Chief for the most part beat the Didact by himself. The Spartans 2s could inflict ridiculous amounts of casualties to enemy forces. The Spartan 4s can hold a position and accomplish everything Jul is letting them accomplish and a few things that he didn't. Palmer, the Commander, can't even call a proper air strike to kill ONE target. I'm sure if you gave Linda a MAC Canon and told her to hit a Covenant CCS she would have missed it and instead hit High Charity! Quality will always backhand Quantity in the face and laugh while Quantity cries about it.

I support this topic completely and so to my fellow Sangheili brothers (and sisters) "When we joined this covenant, we took an oath!" "All to our station! All without exception!"

You can use a shotgun its called ordinance drop or just spawn with the pocket shotty aka Boltshot. also on the Elites and Brutes, if you mean MM YES! The argument "Elites can't be in Halo 4 because war games is Spartan 4 training onboard infinity" IS GARBAGE! The UNSC spent years getting mopped up by the Elites and after four years (not sure) They can make a ship like the Infinity but not create Sangheili AIs to train against? It just doesn't make sense to me how infected neo ODSTs are a bigger threat than the guys who was going planet to planet annihilating the human race. (Cant say much for the Brutes except it'd be cool because they are a part of Halo) I agree with your other points as well.

The game types like fat kid, duck hunt, etc were not made for matchmaking. They were made for custom games. Flood how it is right now is great for matchmaking BUT if I want to play with friends in a custom games I would prefer it to be more customizable so I can still have the Fatkid I love while having the look of a flood. The maps would also have to be bigger for some of old school gametypes from infection to even be fun. I remember going around on sandtrap in a massive convoy of warthogs and we'd get ambushed as we went around till there were a mass horde and one lone hog. How are we going to get that with all these maps that only work for Mantis's and Ghosts?

I love the Idea of the DMR but from what 343 was saying prior to release and what is in the game now. THEY LIED!!! They made it sound like this (IMO) You can use any start out weapon you like but some might be better in different situations. I've been in many situations in the game where the DMR is still the best thing to hold in your hands and I disagree. It should have some kind of down side to it. If it's a designated Marksmen rifle shouldn't it be best at range? and if this is so why is it beating the BR and AR in CQC where the AR is supposed to be at its best and the BR too? Also speaking from a more in game logical prospective if an old Battle Rifle from Halo 3 time could hit a guy on the other end of sand trap just fine, why make a new BR that can barely land a bullet on a guy on the other end of complex?

Del Rio did right BY HIS CREW AND SHIP which is all fine and dandy, HOWEVER! Doing right by the crew meant endangering all of Mankind. If Chief had bended knee to the (pitiful excuse of a) Captain, when Didact got to Earth the casaulties would have been more than one entire city. Why its possible to say alot of the ships that were moving to engage the Vessel and several cities would have been lost trying to stop him, IF THEY COULD. Note: The Infinity would have probably been destroyed attempting to stop the Didact in the scenario stated above, it being the most powerful ship present and all makes it the biggest target for the superior Forunner Vessel. So with that said, forget the crew and the ship. Im certain UNSC would understand if the Infinity went down to save the entire Human Species. Del Rio didn't even give Chief a small team of those new ODSTs (I side with Hasley, they are not Spartans). Now on the whole arrest Chief. 1) Good luck trying to stop him, those new ODSTs (the IVS) are half his size in their storm trooper suits. 2) As Hasley pointed out Spartan 2s weren't trained to be Military Assets they were trained to be the Protectors of Earth and her Colonies. Didact was going to kill every human being which is why Chief went to stop him. 3) The UNSC would have him released immediately and probably have had Del Rio fired for arresting the Man who practically saved the entire human race from the Covenant and then The Flood.

Agree with Raptor because for those who aren't we don't see our next set of specs till we finish up both of ours so a simple re download should fix it all.

it is but its more of 343 experimenting for when they do add it for real. Awesome threadt btw.

There are multiple control schemes in the game. You couldn't find one that worked for you? I apologize if i sound hostile, I'm just curious.

Speaking from very recent game experience. I managed to beat several DMR users with the supposedly underpowered BR in medium and close ranges. How? Mlg strafe, good aim, and best of all. Not panicking. (I play on 7 sensitivity so not flipping out helps with the aiming ) At long ranges the DMR beat me down, so I decided if I want to use the BR in BTB/ big objective games Ill just stay out of the weapon where the DMR can pick me off. I do agree the DMR needs perhaps a tweak something to lessen the edge because it is a somewhat formidable starting weapon but any skilled player can and should be able to take out a DMR no problem in meduim to close range if he knows what he is doing.

ODST Firefight on heroic had me and my friends on the edge of our seats headshotting all the grunts, using plasma weapons to neutralize shields, conserving as much ammo as possible, not wasting power weapons unless it'd annihilate multiple foes or a powerful enemy (like charging chieftains or Hunters.). Reach killed firefight by first not keeping the challenge up to par. (we're spartans now. So it should be harder to make up for it.) Then they made arcade and crucified it. Now I feel like 343 is spitting on the corpse by replacing it with something that is (IMO) a laughing stock. Too easy, too fast, too repetitive. If it wasnt for the story, I wouldnt even bother with Spartan Ops

DEADFAME. I dont have an xbox atm but I am getting one soon and in the meantime I play on my friend's or on my gf's xbox. I'd be happy to play with you when I can
