time of day should matter little since this game sold big time in Europe too. Thing is, Europeans ditched this game six months ago. Never to return. BO2 goes down to ~200k non us prime and then goes up to ~500k prime. Everyday. Halo 4 has no excuse. Apart from the same excuse all games have now; the XBox360 is dead. BTW when I see the video above I can't help thinking> FFS HAVE THAT SHIELD RECOVER FASTER YOU ****** 343!!! Oh. Sorry about that. Had to get it out. Over and out.

What you think is manipulation is just plain LAG occurring on deserted gaming platforms.

I think HOW to tell a story is most important. Especially doing it good within the limitations of the media/platform used.

Mostly bad connects depends on distance to host. Which likely is less than optimal given there's so few players online at any time. Having matchups based on skill worsen host connectivity too BTW.

Weapon tuning will save the matchmaking? lol good luck with that!

And btw. Try to use a clip of AR on a knight on legendary diff and see where this lead you dude.

Uaric. Yeah why get a New game? Just look at Cod.They strangely seem to fill up that mil of players with each release. Which Is as same as ever. No. Go ahead and change. Also add a lot of crap nobody even suggested or asked for.

Just proves this site is half filled with morons....

Use all good community made "remake" forge maps and put up a playlist with team slayer only on them.

Fix this game by BRINGING 'social interaction'??? Now there's a big ******* LOL for you.

You lol because you're a fraud as far as to being a Halo fan. I lol at your illogical bull**** whenever I read it. And I get plenty of opportunity here. Go back to ultimate noob-game MW3 Tornado flame. I can understand you like that one. Worst COD ever made. Even tops BO2 for crappiness. Some feat!

Halo 4 is NOTHING like COD. The added loadout and abilities are very shallow and does very little change to core feel. Drops does more, but the game is still very Halo compared to other games. If you feel like playing COD while playing Halo 4 I strongly suggest you actually try COD BEFORE you spout such nonsense.

Im bloody right Tornadoflame. Best thing is if 353i adds social playlists as is now. The casuals will never come back to this game no matter what tho. Its a shame. Games real fun and great really. Destroyed by all so called 'pure' Halo fans endless whining and ubercompetitive assholeness over a couple of months. That's all. Well done! I applaud you all *clap* *clap* *clap*

There's excellent remakes of old Halo maps forged. I can't for my life understand why such maps aren't already in rotation. You have Stranded - a supercool remake of The Cage, you have a great The Pit. There's a great Ascension (Pinacle), and a great Sanctuary (Asylum). Why the hell arent these maps in regular playlists? People know them ffs. This guarantees a success.

Why don't you realize you get frustrated from the competitiveness? Having like 5k online and perhaps 400 in a list like Throwdown means you get every other match against the very best online. Another thing; the game was NEVER casual. A bad player in this game will end up -15 over and over. This ain't COD, where a cheesy tactic can save you. While you had a lot of casuals online first month, online was also populated by like 30k players at really high skill level (who also put in insane hours into matchmaking), who had the casuals raped so hard over and over they started to drop the game. I saw this development within first three weeks. I also know KNOW this is what happened to a couple of friends I tried to drag into Halo. Its ******* OBVIOUS the competitive nature of matchmaking killed this game. No doubt about it at all. Now lets add a bloody ranking system to save it huh? Oh and force it on all playlists too! God, the irony.

OK. How fun can it be having 300 players? Cause that's how it'll end up. 343i need to give all map packs away for free.

They should make the system so below average players doesn't join matches that easily and real good players does. A Join penalizes a bad player more since he can hardly carry a losing team, which very likely will be a team he'll join. This would be most fair and also keep much needed casual players online. Perhaps it'll be regarded as an honours thing joining this way? Sorta selected to be the saving cavalry.

1. People quit online play out of the COMPETITIVENESS 2. Ranking system made things WORSE 3. Game needs more CASUALS online if anything 4. The game is real good actually

Game had 600k online first week/s btw

The system doesnt function properly due to too few players online.

A 4sk BR will fick up this game beyond belief. Evades will be completely impossible. Game will be like COD.

Azaxx I agree. I can't for my life understand why 343i want up every weapon deadliness to balance towards the DMR when they can just fix things by slowing the DMR ROF and make the reticule go red at a slightly longer distance (to add some distance advantage to it). Kill times are too short as is already ffs. The only weapon needing a change apart from that is the Carbine by subtracting a shot from it, but I actually leave it as is tbh. Boneheads at 343i :/ COD is a lame spammers game cwb. Only thing fun in Black ops2 is Zombies. Multiplayer is a random joke really. And this is going to make things EVEN WORSE. You need to nerf the DMR, NOT make every weapon on par with it. Killing times need to be brought DOWN if anything in this game, not up. A 4sk BR will make evades completely IMPOSSIBLE. Why make the game more COD'ish?

Welcome to skill based ranking systems. you probably got smoked by a team of level 5s

In H3 both social team slayer and ranked team slayer was bigger all the time

Don't you people get what p2p sessions is? It means one of the clients are host. Which in turn means lag when you combine it with such an abysmal and dispersed population Halo4 got. New CSR matchups adds to the dispersion even more also. No recoding in the world can fix it on the server side. Game needs a bigger population, that's all.
