I would love 8v8 on Complex. It would be absolute insanity.

I'm glad they changed it.

So I only just read this, one of the requirements for getting the already infamous Spec Codes: "You must not be registered for Xbox LIVE in Europe, the Middle East, or Africa. They explained this by saying, "As noted on the original offer, these regions were not part of the Specializations offer as Specializations were extended as a pre-order offer, not a post-launch offer." Does this mean I won't get the codes because I live in Ireland? Thanks guys. Sound. Really though, why does everything need to be so complicated and awkward? I'm SR54 and the game is only out a month? What I want to know is, will I be expected to pay more money to go past level 70?

To be honest, if you're killed - why should you be able to pick back up the weapon you had?

What's the problem with join in process. People were complaining for years because Halo didn't have this feature which is standard in pretty much every FPS you'll play. Now they've implemented it people are still complaining. Which is LOL.

Halo 4s biggest issue is Host Migration. Also, its a hard game for 'noobs' to pick up because there is so much most of us have picked up from playing the previous games. I think Black Ops is successful because its easy to get kills just by camping and ambushing people. One of my friends works in Gamestop got it early and just described the multiplayer as 'hard'. Like if you're new to the game, you mightn't realise the AR is not gonna do you much good and even if you get the drop on someone in Halo, a good player can quickly turn the tables. What was the question again?

I despise Exile.

There are weapons on the ground.

SHOOT THEM TILL THEY DIE. Seriously though, I have found the best thing is just stick with your teammates and focus fire. The most basic thing I can advise though is my patented 'Rock' strategy. 1 - Find a big rock, any rock - round or pointy it doesn't matter, but it needs to be bigger than you. 2 - Stand next to the rock and shoot anyone who ******* moves. (I feel Invis or Decoy are a good choice too) 3 - If someone returns fire, step behind the rock. Now you're safe. Wait until they go way or get killed by someone else. 4 - Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you win. Say what you want, NONE of you can fault this tried and tested system.

Agreed. The CoD killcams give some indication of what happened. In Halo the guy isn't even shooting in your direction, it's completely broken and should just be removed at this stage.

Are Pulse grenades ****? I can't seem to make much use of them?

I'm not getting killed by snipers getting headshots. I'm getting done from double body shots because the human sniper fires extremely fast. I'm not trying to say it's overpowered, just kinda... cheap? Especially with invisibility.. (did I just make the same point in two threads? Oh dear.)

Are people really getting killed by the boltshot THAT much? What's the difference between a charged plasma pistol + melee and charged boltshot? the first one is much easier to do. What I'm getting killed by the most is Invisible Snipers. That is something that is wrecking the game for me.

Who dreamt up this stupid idea anyway.

Fiesta Slayer. That's all I want! Absolute carnage!

I think it's pretty balanced already, one solid headshot with the shotgun will kill a flood. Considering that the flood start of totally outnumbered I think it would be stupid to make them weaker. Also I think the Camo needs to be taken off the humans in this mode.

Hard light shield seems only useful if your opponent is at a distance and you need an extra second to get into cover. Although I took a direct rocket launcher with it recently and survived. Thoroughly agree about the thruster. It's so bad at the moment it defies belief. I loved evade in reach - thruster pack is like it's 'special' cousin. I like evade, but Armour lock was hands down THE worst thing about reach. It was especially stupid on small maps, where rooms would be full of people using Armor Lock. It's like a game of ******* whack-a-mole. It was also lame that a good, skilfully thrown sticky could be negated by just pressing a button. But, the dumbest thing about it was that the user could regenerate shields AND look around while in Armour lock, this meant when they came out of armour lock they would suddenly be facing you; now with full shields.

I do this all the time, in fact earlier I crouched in the corner behind a box for the entire game.. Didn't die once.

Feck! I'm 49 and just about to reach 50... so it looks like I should wait till Dec 1st?

I agree it is bull****. But FFA has always been like that and not just in Halo. Maybe its worse now, thats why K/D should not be factored into objective games. I have K/D of 2.03 so I'm not saying it because I'm getting my ass kicked, I'm saying it sucks getting shot in the back when you're rushing the objective by people who don't score a point the entire game.

I very rarely get anything other than a Needler or Saw from the Ordnance Drops. I've played 170 games and I've genuinely gotten the shotgun once from a drop, I specifically remember my shock because I had actually forgotten it was in the game.

Invisible Sniper is a pain in the ass. It was possible in Reach, but its WAY more common in 4 because of ordnance drops. I can't blame people for using it, it just seems crazily OP and cheap.

I have to admit, I'm loving the game but the host migration seems to have gotten way worse and more frequent. It really needs to be sorted because its every game almost. I wouldnt even consider getting new maps.

Not a fan of Regicide either, but I like FFA Throwback - can be a pain when you're playing solely for the objective though, people will always attack you even if you're miles away from the Hill or Oddball.

I have Gold, but I still think it's bull**** that people can't play it offline.
