No, they don't. Only it's to few small maps. Harvest is a brilliant map for CTF, and reminds me a lot of rat's nest, definatly the best map of that map pack. What sucks is the playlists, and what ppl pick. Where is BTB CTF? And why the crap do everyone wanna play Exile, Ragnarok or Heaven nine games out of ten?

Get an 8 vs 8 objective playlist. I wanna play CTF on Longbow. Why this was not avalible at game release and still is not there is un-understandable. Also, extraction should be a playlist at game release. 343 get down the basics, now!

warthog (driver)

It works. I always use it when I play on a map that has a ghost or bigger vehicle on it.Gives me enough time to dodge plasmanades after beeing EMP'ed. Give it some time, and you will se.

I'm using the DMR right now to get the XP, then I will go back to the BR. I've already mastered the BR, and my KD ratio is 1.2 or something. In addition to that my Assist pr death ratio is 0.6 or something. That's all using the BR since day one.

The Warthog is a good classic. Not the best. I gotta admit that I miss the chopper

Yeah! this! Burn there

What the communety donsn't like!? Wheres your sources for what the communety as a whole thinks? you're one person. And I would guess that we think the game is at an early stage. I surly love the Spartan Ops bit There are more maps than the four you mention, and if you would play dominion, flag or big team you would atleast play: Longbow, Exile, Ragnarok, Meltdown and Vortex. I've played all those maps, but sure I would like some more, like Ravine in war games to. No dominion or Big team games are on the 4 small maps you mentioned, so your statement is invalid. Play another gametype than Infiety slayer dude. And I could not care less about SWAT, personally, but I know ppl like it.

First of all. Join this site: http://www.halowheelmen.com/ I've been a member of the group since back when it started with Halo 3. I am a dedicated gunner. The group was featured at the front of bungie.net and my clip "overkill splatter with the halo 3 warthog" was featured on bungie favorites for a week. First of all, I play halo for fun. I don't care if I am at the bottom of the scoring list. If I had doble the number driving assists a game than my negative K/D ratio, I played avrage, and did not drag my team down. Becuse the gunner got his kills from me. I agree that more points should be added, but would not that give the hog users a big boost to the teams score in slayer games. Thing is the gunner will get more points if they got even for the gunners kills, becouse the gunner will pick up assists as well, and get points for destroying vehicles and the like. Yes, It is not fair. I would be glad if I got more cred for my driving. Thing is that I've been getting more halo game after halo game, and I really like that the games has been giving the teamplayers the assisters a lot of creds. Becouse driving is a lot harder than gunning. Often your ego teammates won't even jump in your hog, and they jump out like chicken when you try some smooth and unorthodox moves. Moves that work with true gunners. I feel ya for that beeing at the bottom of the list thing. All I can say is that I support drivers all the way, It's for me the nices ppl to play with, and I gladly gun if someone wants to drive me. Becouse I wanna be good at gunning, not just driving. Join halowheelmen, talk tactics and stuff with us. We just reignited our passion for the Halo games with Halo 4. Hope you will feel the wheelman job is more rewarding once you join us. Don't give up there!

Good to se that this indeed is not a one sided thing. Supressor, AR and Plasma rifle goes for the same thing. And ofcourse the Halo pistols are never to be underestimated. Right now 2 of my 5 loadouts have firepower and BR/AR. The others have BR/PP and the last one Light rifle and Bolt Pistol

I think the Mantis is so big a threath on this map and gametype when its 5 vs 5. The objective of the game becomes, Take down their mantis, make sure your's dont get stolen trough the game and when all that is fine grab their flag. I've joined games where players have left many a time, just to be one of 2-3 guys left on a loosing team where the other team has power wapons top mid, and 1-2 mantises walking around owning us. And all the deaths I get is mainly becouse someone I did not play with dropped out of a game that I just got into, and are doomed to loose. So, whenever I join a loosing flag cause on Ragnarok mid game, the game is already always over. I think the mantis becomes to big an asset in CTF 5 vs 5, and that it should be removed from the map. It's cool to have in 8 vs 8 when that time comes, but for this, remove it. What do you guy's think?

So, the specializations take up the place in the armor loadouts thats reserved for your secondary wapon being a primary one. Im a dead fan of heaving AR as mye second wapon. Do you guys really think giving up the AR for specializations is worth it? I know theres no right or wrong aswer to this, and taste and playing style in the end is what mattes.

Yes to this. I stood with 10 kills on ragnarok, found myself back in my own base facing ghosts an enemy warthog and the like. I was thinking with a good team and no deaths yet that I could go for an other perfection. And I finally had fought got assists and where about so survive the all out firefight and assult I was in, I had shot first and I all was intense. I had just reloaded my BR and all (but only to get like 8 more bullets, and hence dying becouse I had no ammo left in my two guns) So yeah, I have this problem. Ive only had this problem on the big maps, where fighting vehicles and team BR'ing them and stuff is an issue. The Ammo of bodys despawn so fast on these big maps, I can't even get to it in time.As soon as one is nearing a Killing frenzy this really is an issue. Unless you're lucky and have not picked up a single assist but only kills from your ammo usage. Real lame.

Agree. I always go for laser on Ragnarok at the start of games so my team can gain vehicular control of the game and a good start. It works out wth varied luck. The days like Halo 3 where everyone rushed top middle have not started yet. But I still die sometimes, usually with the laser lying on my teams side of the map. When I run there after respawn, the laser has often despawned.

I did not read all you wrote, but they menus, medals, wapon names and stuff like that is my only complain about the game. Becouse 343 apparently used google translate or something like that to make all these things set to the native language of whatever country you bought the game. And I can't change that, becouse the game disk is made that way. I also hear that some ppl get a lot of the gamevideoes in poorly dubbed spansish and stuff. What do 343 take us for? This (menus and the like) really is the biggest issue for the game unless you live in North America, the UK or other english talking areas.

you mean Halo CE or the Halo 4 campain? They're not even that hard to complete Halo 4 on solo I think. Less enemies, You'd be amazed how some hard work can get you trough them. You don't have to kill every enemy either, some places you can run past half the knights and into the portal, atleast on map 8. My tip, play a bunch of Spartan Ops and finding randoms, and ask (wheither they have a mic or not they can hear you talk) if they wanna play some campain with you. Sooner or later you will find someone. Easyer to find campain players there than in Matchmaking.

Im guessing and hoping she will be back. She is sutch a quintessential part of the Halo Universe. I still miss Sarge Johnson. Im also Hoping to se Buck, Mickey and the ODST gang back in action!

BR is best for vehicle takedowns, so this is a no brainer. The DMR is supposed to be a pre Halo 1 wapon. I don't se why it is in Halo 4 at all, makes no sense storywise.

- First of all. It's good to se a pure halo fan speaking his mind and not complaining like some... about this and that. As for a shortage of playlists. I would think that in the launchphase of the game that "less is more". And that some might be added. I gotta point out some posetivetis first: - Compared to halo 3 you get to pick between three maps, instead of sometimes vetoing one (and maybe getting a worse map, instead of a better) - Team Swat is in there. I totally hate SWAT, dislike playing it, for me it is not halo. But I know it is halo for a lot of people, and I respect that. Suprised to see it in there, but I guess it would be asked for sooner or later anyways? I disagree with your final point, If I wanna play a playlist closer to classic halo I would play an older Halo game. The old days are done, I want something new. If the wish for sutch a playlist is there, ofcourse add it. But I don't se the point to look back to old games when 343 release their first game. Look foreward, not back Regicide: Better than FFA slayer in my opinon, It's now another objective in the game than just killing everyone, it's a twist. And you gotta think a bit about what kills you want to for for and not. Although I could see the need for another FFA playlist for Oddball and King of the Hill. Not that I think that is half as fun as teamball and team hill. Entire playlists for Hill and Ball are cool, look what they've done to the gametypes. The hill does not move til someone has hold it, and you get a counter for it. And blam! you can pass the oddball to teammates! And I like that Infinity slayer is just that. A snipers, or a shotty snipers playlist Im okay with, but It should be keept far away from the Infinity Slayer playlist I think. Again with SWAT, I don't miss these foolish aim battles with little or no teamwork in them for your team to win. I really miss BTB flag, I really agree there. I miss bomb, and I miss VIP (cause of rocket race) Dominion is fine, it's like sortof BTB, in that It's the same maps. Beeing a BTB guy, I consider it a BTB playlist I love how they included flood as a playlist. A playlist that's fiesta style. One that should be able to give you games of Rocket race, Griftball and the like could be cool. But I am still enjoying the game right now. As it is now, I think each playlist is for a special gametype, and that's that. Thinking about it loadoutwise, maybe it's for the best. Some ppl like changing their loadouts a bit everytime they swich playlist. I never do that, but some ppl do. Getting flag or slayer can play a big difference in what role some ppl might take.

Recon ofc, Halo CE style!

bringing back fairly symmetrical maps, like "The Pit" just sounds plain booring. I can't really say I miss any particular map. But in some of the DLC Halo 3 maps, Standoff and i also think Orbital or something you had gates that opened if you hit a button. Real interesting to have in flag and bomb games back in the day. Some gates like that in objective maps could be interesting ( yeah I know dominion sheild doors can remind u of that...) On of those pics looks like Hang em high^^ from Halo 1

Bolt shot - It's a wapon that makes you pick them out a log distance when facing them, they can be some buggers when they run up close to you on legendary, but it's supposed to be difficult? Saw - a nice big clip, never gotten killed by it, really nice for grunt hunting. Binary Rifle - yeah, I totally hate those knigts, but I find ways to get past them, even on legendary solo. My point is that I think these wapons where made primarily with the campain in mind. Im shocked you did not mention the Incineration cannon to your list. And I don't se the problem, learn to use the wapons instead of whining about getting killed.

No vehicle in Halo 4 is overpower. Hit em with the plasma pistol. I am an experienced vehicle user, take it from me, we vehicle goofs have it hard this time around, with a lot of stickys and lasers and binary rifles around every corner. Im also using the laser a lot, and a minute into a game on ragnarok I've sometimes taken down the mantis, warthog and banshee with it, ofcourse depenting on my teammates shooting back with their vehicles and br's and distracting so I get clean shots.

I've never played COD. I don't se anything with you'r points that are so original that I would guess Bungie or 343 would have made them. And spartan ops is comparable to multiplayer campain and also to firefight (Halo 3: ODST). I enjoy the game as it is. So stop complaining and enjoy the game or go play your Call of Duty.

Well. I am one of those, and you're not speaking for me. I think it's really fine right now. I would not mind ranking and I also don't miss it. But I mind ranking in Team Objective and BTB, becouse those playlists where hardly possible to play in Halo 3 when you got a high enough rank. I wanted a 50 in Objective, but I could not get higher than 44, becouse I hardly found any matches past rank 30. The system for finding btb matches when you had a two digit rank was also impossible. It's cool for me with the other playlists you mention, but they should not replace any old playlists. I remember the Clan system thing back in Halo 2, that could be fun to give new life somehow, but in a more flexible way. Some playlists for sutch groups would be cool, but it should be possible to be in multiple clans.
