The Director

Actually, microsoft support does sometimes send people our way. Mainly because we are so awesome that even microsoft confuses us for the official site. Don't worry, it will only take a bit to do it. It's probably just a corrupted file. Make doubly sure you have purchased the Castle DLC before you delete it though, otherwise you won't be able to redownload it.

I had a similar problem to this when H4 first came out. I'd join a lobby and it would seem like it was going to let me play, but then it wouldn't. It also only happened for infinity slayer. What worked for me was deleting everything H4 related (i.e. the disc install), and clearing my cache, then downloading it all again. If that doesn't work then you'll have to wait for a patch.

Firstly, this is a community forum, so no one here can answer for 343 Industries. However, perhaps I can put your mind at ease a bit. What was the point in playing after hitting Inheritor in HR? What was the point of playing after hitting 50 in H3? In H3 it was actually counterproductive to continue playing because it increased your risk of losing games and being a 49 again. The point is simply this. You play to have fun. Unlocking armor and weapons and new ranks just adds to the fun, but overall doesn't impact the gameplay experience all that much (a little bit more in H4 than other Halos, but the point is still valid). As in any game, when you hit the level cap the only reason to keep playing is to have fun, brag to people about your rank, and show off your skill. If it's just that you are feeling a bit burned out in Halo 4, then try these tips to keep it fun: 1. Plug in a mic and talk to random people in the lobby. Try to make new friends to play with and talk to. 2. Try taking the game less seriously. Or more seriously, depending on your point of view. 3. Set goals to accomplish. These can be serious goals, or fun/funny goals. A for instance of a serious goal is "get a killing frenzy three games in a row". A fun/funny one would be "teabag every player in the game". 4. Play playlists that you don't often play. Maybe your first few experiences with them weren't the best, and you only think you hate them. 5. Try custom games. Whether it be a 1v1 or a playdate, custom games can renew your fire for Halo. 6. Above all, try new things. That should give you a reason to play even after hitting the level cap.

Indeed. Halo: The Flood is a literal written depiction of Halo: CE. It also has different viewpoints that we didn't get to see, such as the base camp that the marines set up after the crash landing.

inb4 flame war Also, 343i has always stated that the CSR would only be visible on Waypoint. If this is a surprise to you, then that simply means you haven't been paying much attention. And if you haven't been paying much attention, then how can you possibly speak for the "core" or "true" Halo fans. On the other hand, though, the ranking system isn't as universally competitive as H2 and H3. This is simply because it isn't visible in-game. That doesn't mean the ranking system itself is messed up though, just it's visibility *TO SOME PEOPLE*. 343 Industries doesn't owe you anything. They make a game, release it, you buy it, you get the game. It doesn't mean that you have a say in how the game is played, it doesn't mean you become a developer for 343i, and it doesn't mean that they are going to custom-tailor the game for you. True, you payed for the Halo games. True, you put hours upon hours into them. However that doesn't mean you or I get any say in how they make future Halo games. What we get out of it is fun, or just a distraction from real life. If you don't want to play it, don't play it. If you don't want to buy it, don't buy it. If you want to leave the community then leave. But if you don't want to leave then I suggest you put up with the bad and look for the good. The parts of the game you enjoy. For example, I despised Halo Reach. But, most of the community played Halo Reach, and so I settled for Swat and Snipers.

This is actually a pretty interesting topic. There is such a thing as being over touchy. For instance, it's not usually common-place for men to touch each other except in moments of celebration (i.e. fist bumps, etc), and it's iffy on men/women convos. Also, some people just don't like being touched, or are picky about who they let touch them. These people will usually either let you know or look very uncomfortable. Other people think it's odd for people to not touch during conversation. It's a completely situation dependent thing, so I'm afraid you'll have to learn as you go. However, if you go by "when in doubt, don't touch", it should make things easier.

OP means more powerful than any weapon, combination of weapons, or tactic that your opponents can come up with. Most people thinks it means "it kills me a ton and I don't know how to beat it." Mantis can be taken out in less than a minute. Before it even gets any kills. Using basic spawn weapons that you can get by playing the game for less than an hour with no breaks. The obvious solution to something being OP is to use it before your enemy can. If you try to use it and get owned, then obviously it's not as OP as you originally thought it was.

Did you see THIS video? In it Halo4Follower says that the flood will be in Halo 4 and that Prometheans were in the teaser trailer (he didn't actually say Prometheans). He gets it wrong quite frequently, and sometimes simply pulls stuff out of his arse to keep his channel popular. As far as his "proof" goes, what he doesn't seem to realize is that the map devs can get to parts of the maps that he and his friends can't. Halo4Follower is an outside news source with no affiliation with Certain Affinity, Microsoft, or 343 Industries so the best he can do is pick up leaks and speculate. Point is, nothing is certain and don't get your hopes up for a new forge world for Halo 4. A new forge map as future DLC, maybe, but I think that if they were going to come out with an actual forge world they would do it in Halo 5, which is a ways off.

Actually, the first picture looks a lot like "Ravine", a Halo 4 forge map.

Correct! SternuS - 4 Church - 2 EliteISnIp3r - 1 SpartanKIL - 1 The Director - 1

SternuS - 3 Church - 2 EliteISnIp3r - 1 SpartanKIL - 1 The Director - 1 I like lime better. ;D Riddle: At first I was overlooked and only used in certain situations, Then it was discovered that I had the power to destroy behemoths in a single blow. When I left and was replaced it created an uproar That led to a glorious return. What am I?

The Jiralhanae are the only other species to witness it.

Tekkit > Minecraft. :3 Just sayin'. lol And if I were able to run either on this PC I would hit you up for the IP.

Humans. Specifically SGT. Avery Johnson. And that's a quote from the Prophet of Truth.

Congratulations. I'm glad that you were as excited about it as we were.

My memories? Ahhhh, the hi-jinx.

Just so that the fail lives on. Also, another great wrap-up.

I would quit my job, move to Texas, and get Burnie a coffee every morning.
