Enough said!

It has been over two years since I played the ODST campaign and was rummaging through You Tube and found a Machinga video. I really had forgotten just how good the graphics and music was for the game. I had played the campaign and fire fights for about a month until internet became available. This game really was much better than I had remembered.

You make a good point here. Since the Halo series has historically offered new games at such a slow pace, aside from DLC, the remake of Halo 2 should fall enough time after H 4 and before H 5. It is still my hope that eventually all games, both campaign and MM be available for online play. I realize it could be a major undertaking, but the thought of playing with your friends and saying, "Remember in H2 when........", and instead of just recounting the game you can just switch over and play it. Halo 2 still had the best original maps for the "classic" 1 vs 1 shoot out to see who was the best!

FireMachine there have always been adjustments in the play lists dependent on the population of it. Players will initial flock to a new one then loose interest leaving only a small number of avid fans of it. There has been calls for one type of game or another from the fans since Bungie first created their B.net forums and that will continue into 343inds. reign. There were only two actual play lists or game types that I have felt needed to stay or be brought forward through to the next game. The first was from Halo 2, Clan Battle. I never played it but felt that there should always be a variant for them to duke it out in. The second was the complete ranked play list that had existed since the beginning of MM. Thanks for the post.

Nice post headhunter, it speaks the truth. I have, since I became a Mod pushed for a form Intro/Info for the Introduction area as well as the top of all forums that would cover these issues. I am sure it is well known to most that their needs to be a review of the signature policy. I am for individuality, but there is no doubt that some are way to much. There is a good number of us who have been here a long time and seen members come and go, the one post wonders, the trouble makers and then those who have seen and appreciated what we have here. Thanks again for the post.

Forge will be the same for the most part. A couple of maps like "High Noon" will be forge ready and should provide some new environments to create different styles of maps.

....moved on to the real.....

That is good to here Jake. Some members may be unaware of this fact.

My first contact with Halo was the day after it hit the market I believe. My nephews showed me this new game called Halo Combat Evolved and the XBOX game console. They had already played it and were hyper excited to get me to play with them. It was unlike anything I had seen to that point. I was using the Play Station 2 at the time and had been bringing it over to them on occasion to play with them. Now they had the system and game that I had to get. Being much older than them was not a factor as we played for hours on end together, even headed to their friends a few time for the linked games with multiple systems and TV's. Their friends thought it was so cool that an "adult", if you will, was just as into the game as them. I was 38 years old, but felt like 12 again as we all fought, elbowed and made fun of each others being "owned". Where were you when Halo was first announced? How old were you? Who were your Halo buddies back then? Let it all hang out! lol The original trailer when the game was to be a PC/MAC based computer game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2yB0-Hgg8s&feature=fvsr This was the original trailer for the XBOX. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZxDrAci0hc&feature=fvwrel

You have said what many of us have for a while it different ways. It is always good to hear players aspirations for what they want and expect from a game series, especially for Halo. In the end the developer has to go with their gut instincts and in the case of HCEA I really do not understand peoples criticism of the campaign. I was originally unhappy about playing on the Reach engine, but quickly realized that reinventing the wheel in such a short period of time was not possible. There main efforts are and should be directed at Halo 4. Thanks for a quality OP Deadly.

DocSpartanO07 has arrived home safely from Iraq. He came home to his family on the 5th of November and is spending time with them and getting ready to get back to work and school. Just wanted to let the community know. Well, our favorite medic is back in the forums now. I expect all will want to wish him a happy return now!

This is a prime example of not playing the game, instead the player hides to make their stats look good. They don't support their team mates throughout the entire match. I have had team mates, friend or random, get their Running Riot and attempt to go hide some where to get a Perfection. Bad idea. Every single time I see it or hear them say, "Come cover me so I can get mt Perfection", I give them one chance to fight on or I betray them. I here the same people moan about AFKer's, quitters and boosters and turn around and pull these stunts. Just another sad commentary on how players ruin the experience of the game for others.

Hey popje! You can go here for a complete list of the maps, it is in our Gaming News forum. Here is a look a the game play with the Halo CE Magnum. The only new weapon. There are no new armors I am aware of. There has been so looks at the black armor, but no actual proof it is in. This is a look at some of the forge affects being shown in High Noon. Hope this helps answer some of your questions.

This is a thread I created a while back titled New Infection. Give it a read, vote and add any ideas that you may have to it. As far as fighting waves of The Flood, I prefer Halo 4 be creative and not copy other games types of zombie play. There has to be a new way to bring the Infection game type into the "modern" Halo games. I do not normally play the game type, my perspective comes from an original idea had with an old friend here. You may want to add a poll and be sure to offer distinct voting options.

Hey Zippy, welcome to the forums. Looks like you have gotten your picture and signature already, so have fun looking around.

Hey Spartan 118. Welcome to the forums. Looks like you are finding your way around and meeting people here. Take the time to review the forums and use the shout box if you have any questions.

Twin I do not have the game available for PC. Are there online sources for purchase or download of it?

....and soon a troll swaggered...

I appreciate your enthusiasm Decree, but I am certain that you can get your point across in a less combative way. Trooling? Seems like it to me.

I have never seen that one, but it looks cool as s**t! lol I have seen some pretty weird ones , that one takes the cake.

You know what Brony, I was there. Every single time I removed it, he re-did it on a larger scale, each and every time. They were individual efforts being made to increase the size of it every time. Period. You were not with him while he did it. Period. A deleted item from the chat box does not "magically" reappear when the screen is refreshed. Period.
