Spoilers. The Didact is in fact a Jedi, i have proof. Who do you think trained Darth Sidius (Darth Vaders master)... The Didiact. Darth Sidius was the Didact's apprentice.

Any symmetrical remake should be kept out purely because we have flogged them all before. One of my favourite maps of all Halo's is The Pit. Words cannot describe my love for that map and how much fun i had. But it has no place in H4. Some work should go into a map like Guardian to tweak it so while being the same, plays differently. Yeah so in my eyes Guardian would be the only map worth having a go.

Mate, in Reach everyone complained that vehicles were way too hard to take out, 343 have listened, and tweaked that. Now everyone is complaining that vehicles get destroyed too quickly. This is proof you can not please everyone. If anything vehicles are more balanced in this game than any Halo game prior. I will tell you what mate, getting in a vehicle should not grant you immunity to getting killed or anything like that. Flying a banshee and driving a warthog should be based on skill. If you can't keep your warthog away from sticky nades or plasma pistols, that is your problem, your skill level, not 343's ignorance.

Back then there was a lot of players but since then there is a LARGER NUMBER of people that are good at this game. And yes the game has evolved that there is many strategies to playing, you can be a long range pro, stealth guy, close quarters specialist etc and so on. You obviously are not as good at this game as you were previous Halo's, maybe because YOU refuse to ADAPT.

Close range, an AR spammer only hitting half his shots will out do a DMR or any precision weapon at close range.

There has never ever been a Halo game ever where shooting a shielded enemy in the head dropped the shields quicker than a body shot. 99% of the community knows this and i am sick of the false propaganda by the 1% saying skill has been taken away by not getting rewarded for headshots. You get just as rewarded as any other Halo game that has ever been produced. In H3 everyone knew it was body body body head. In H4 if anything you need more skill cos it is a 5 shot kill thus body body body body head.

Upgrade your connection you're lagging

That is right kids. Stop your whinging. I have seen it all before. The DMR is not OP The Boltshot is not OP The Binary Rifle is not OP... man that hurts to say but in the context of the big picture it is true. The Shotgun is not OP The Scattergun is not OP etc etc etc And for gods sake we do not... DO NOT need bloom on the DMR. Stop complaining about a game that has been developed perfectly over a matter of years, it was not slapped together at the last moment. The moment all the whingers (the vocal minority) get their way it will hurt overall population and spawn the next wave of complaining about other factors. You can not please everyone and i hope 343 realise this and don't do a title update for a looong time.

BR is boss and i have loadouts with BR and DMR, they both serve a purpose. DMR is better at long range. Use the BR on maps like Haven where the spread isn't going to hurt you at long distances. You got to remember to adapt to THIS GAME and not use a weapon based on what it was in a previous game. If that was so no one would use the DMR cos it was garbage in Reach. Bloom means there is a luck factor involved with the reticle expands out, a noob spamming can beat a veteran spamming based on luck, not skill, and First Person Shooters are skill based games where YOU have to go through a learning curve. Bringing back bloom on the the DMR is the only factor that could make me quit this game, as it was the reason i quit Reach. BTW, every weapon on this game is balanced, nothing dominates across all distances.

It is funny when people complain about getting killed by someone that has figured out how to use a specific weapon. Let us put it this way, i am boss with a DMR, apart from power weapons, it is all i use. I got killed a few times with the Boltshot, i thought holy crap i need to give this a shot. I used the Boltshot for a day with next to no success, maybe a couple kills. Moral of the story is, i am a good player at mid to long range. Put me close range and i am quite garbage, so i play within my strengths. Somebody else might be garbage at mid range and beyond, and need weapons cos they dominate at close range. If the Boltshot is OP at close range, well then the DMR is OP at midrange, and the Sniper is OP at long range and you should take them all out of the game.

Saw is not OP its strength is close range it is garbage everywhere else

Dude, today's online numbers were the highest i have seen since launch, i had 1 guy playing Blops 2 and about 10 playing Halo. And plus, everyone is going back to work after having a week off since launch.

Msg me your gamertag if you want to jump in with some decent full aussie parties, we have only had like 2-3 laggy games since launch

Yeah i kinda conceded that was impossible. Regicide is my favourite playlists cos i am a FFA guy when my team isn't on and i nearly have the other one done.

I am disappointed that there is such a fluctuation in performance. I was soo much looking forward to the return of the DMR and use it on close quarter maps out of respect for what it once was.

Dont get killed as the king then bud... This gametype is amazing and take that much more skill to be king and maintain king status to win. I will tell you right now, coming second on purpose flying under the radar and making a last ditch effort around 250 points is also skill.

If your playing just for sake of being rewarded a little bit of XP for each game and nothing else you are playing for the wrong reasons bud

Just saying. For every whinging statement i see on this forum, there must be at least another 100 players per person playing this game not coming to the forum just loving what they have in front of them. If i were working for 343 i wouldn't be too worried about the negative comments. Before when i was online i counted over 300,000 people in all the playlists, i don't know if this is high or low but i would be happy with that number. Unique players over 24 hours would probably be well above 1 million. Sometimes it is just the vocal minority that has the loudest voice.

I like Regicide and i know this will not be the only FFA variant available. By the way anyone that is good at FFA will appreciate what Regicide is. It actually is normail FFA with a bonus for killing the leader, and as leader you are a marked tartget. It makes the game challenging and balanced.

Halo 3 - Valhalla... Veto that **** Halo 4 - OMG it is Valhalla from H3 i miss that map so much it is boss. Haven reminds me of Narrows a bit i dont mind it if you get your whole team in a corner you can defend off top mid, and both upper and lower corridors on the side we have won many matches like that.

OP, you are entitled to your opinion, and i am entitled to think you are wrong. I am also entitled to think you are full of crap if you say you passed Legendary in 5 hours. Just my opinion.

I still prefer the BR over the DMR, yeah the Range is incredible but any AR at close range will counter that range, it isn't unbalanced at all, it is about playing to your strengths. I've been chopped many times by AR in a position i shouldn't have been in with my BR. I don't complain and say the AR is OP i just go damn my BR sucks at close range.

You are missing the *skill gap* Every good Halo 3 player knew to go body, body, body, head. There was never an extra reward for just going for the head, in fact with the BR spread you were more likely to miss more shots aiming for a smaller target only aiming for the head on all 4 shots. When will you understand this concept. Watch any Halo 3 MLG commentary and you will get it.

That is your opinion, and my opinion is that H4 will gain more fans than it loses. Halo will survive.

I respect that, but trying to compare super mario doing a Kamaehamaeha to what i have said above is like trying to judge a fish on its ability to breathe out of water. I am not compliant in any way, shape or form. I hated Reach and didn't play it much. I played 3 online for well over 2 years, i wasn't compliant to Reach based on that fact. Halo 4 is a breathe of fresh air i don't see it losing anything anytime soon.
