Halo 4

Not necessarily. I don't think that everytime the Chief was picked up after finishing one mission that he'd be directly taken to the next without going to some base or outpost first. Pretty sure that it's just the pacing of the game that makes it seem otherwise.

i got to level 47 in war games and i got the Monthly Challenge so i got over half of the Level to go be for i get to 48. ;) 3 more level's to go be for 50 woot!!!

Have yet to finish campaign, shall see how we go. Only just released the satellite. I'm hoping it's a long and forfilling campaign. I remain hopeful

No, I pre-ordered it from amazon but on the release day I logged on to see how long ago it was mailed and there was no record of it so I wasn't charged (I think I haven't checked my bank yet.)

Is anyone else having probs with matchmaking for Spartan Ops? Games I jump into are laggy as fuck. And this only happens with Ops, War Games and Campaign work fine.

No mine run smoothly - War Games - Especially Big team slayer is the one that sometimes gives me lag though.

Is it just with episode 2? (or chapter 2, can't remeber which way it goes)

Aside from the occasional laggy host, I found that the stupid AA Cannons, which are firing, may be the cause. Once they shut down, the game is fine.

I guess it's some parts of episode 2. Missions 2 and 5 lag especially bad. But maybe it's just the host.

Hacksaw is the most laggy for me. Also who here likes Swat mode?

*raises hand*

Other then that well Halo 4 is fun however its just that I dont know after playing more then 10 hours of multiplayer I quickly got bored of it. Sure theres new weapons and vehicles and the new Dominion mode but thats it as far as Im concerned. Ok so they decided to also add a scorestreak system as well as a loadout class option but the fine difference between Reach and 4 is not that much in my opinion anyway. It could explain why I feel like its a chore to even play the game. Keep in mind its my own opinion not yours or anyone elses.

That's cool but isn't all shooting games like COD, Halo and Battlefield have the same thing in common in terms of multiplayer? COD has zombies, Halo has flood and I don't know about battlefield.

Battlefield you can ride vehicles like jet and tanks, Halo you can ride Mantis, Tanks. So in a sense I find multiplayer the same in all this games. The thing that interest me about Halo more than COD is the story. It pulls me in more than COD or Battlefield ever could - especially since I'm a big sci-fan fan.

The difference in Battlefield 3 is that the multiplayer is based on large scale combat where teamwork is strongly encouraged. Halo and COD focus more on faster paced, small-scale combat where it's possible to go lone wolf without much risk. Basically the biggest difference is the flow and scale of combat.

I would say that Halo 4 is the most balanced. The loadouts and ordinance drops aren't gamebreaking and I really enjoy the random weapon drops, which reduces camping. In BF3 a lot of people can more or less buy their way to victory via DLC weapons and shortcut packs, something that really put me off and got me to stop playing before long. And while I don't necessarily hate COD, it just seems to me that balance is completely forgone with most of the killstreaks and overpowered weapons, which can more or less win the game for you.

Swat is up, but you probably know this already.

That makes sense. My favorite mode in Halo 4 is got to be Regicide/ Big Team slayer and Swat. I love Regicide the most though, because of my Promethean vision I can see where a large group of players are at and start killing or getting killed by them - Got 5 kills a few times in that mode. While for Swat I like it because it helps me improve my accuracy and steadiness while holding a DMR which I'm bad at.

So what's everyone's favorite weapon? Mine is the Suppressor. Especially in Haven.

My favorite weapon is still the Battle Rifle. Kinda bummed over the loss of the Plasma Rifle, as the Storm Rifle feels a little too similar to the AR and Suppressor.

TEAM SNIPERS IS UP!

my trusty Assault Rifle got an upgrade from reach which helps me keep up people using BRs and DMRs. Also Big Team just feels so right now

Just tried team snipers.....Apparently I suck at sniping, over out of 26 kills, 14 were melee.

DMR is my favourite weapon. Great at range, and if your have decent with it, can outclass AR's in cqc.

I just saw my first SR-100+ in matchmaking. someone has way to much time on there hands if they are already that high in less then a month.

That or they have a LOT of double XP codes from Doritos and Moutain Dew. You don't even need to buy Doritos to get the codes. One of my friends just scans the code on the back of the bag while at the store.
