Cool, the death X's are back. that was a neat feature that shouldn't have been taken out...along with MANY other things.

 

I can now have my fap session with this game right?

[Eternal EX]

Rumor alert. I was on facebook and a fansite posted a picture claiming it came from PAX. It was of a new FREE halo map called Forge Island. It's suppose to be released on April 11th.

Wait that skybox matches up with the valentines day card a few weeks back. we were all guessing about what it could be since it didn't resemble any of halo 4 maps.

EDIT: Oh god damnit I should lurk moar before posting:

Awesum Possum!

[goku262002]

Yeah so this was just found:

God damnit 343i why?!

I would've loved to have the Spectre back.

[Eternal EX]

Didn't the spectre also have a blast like the Wrath. But I do like that ALTERNATE Laser.

[goku262002]

Nope, the Spectre was basically just a covie Warthog with a map breaking booster.

THANK YOU! 343, I'm sooo glad you are bringing back CSR. 

 

Goku, do you know when the 'X's are suppose to return? Or have they already?

[goku262002]

They have, there just modified Nemesis X's. they suck currently.

[Eternal EX]

Are you talking about the Armor mod? I remember them mentioning it either on the last bulletin or the one before.

No the actual X's they use when you die or someone else dies.

Castle is out! what do you think of the new map pack?

[goku262002]

The BR turning into a 4 shot kill weapon? hmm...

[Eternal EX]

Soo the BR going back to being as powerful as it was in H3? Nice. I'm going to enjoy that. Also it seems Regicide is getting rid of Complex. Why can't they remove that stage from Infinity Slayer? It's such a terrible stage.

[Scott]

I personally think they should remove complex from SWAT! It just doesn't belong there! And add it to Big Team Battle; it is definitely big enough!

[redhellc]

I finally was able to play this and it's AWESOME. I was a little afraid, but at the end of the game I really liked it.

 

And I really like the changes on multiplayer, they are really fun. And spartan ops was a good addition, still miss firefight a little bit.

 

So yeah...slowpoke much.

Is it turning back into the halo 3 BR? I forgot its been awhile. just glad the lightrifle isnt getting changed, its pretty much the only mid-range weapon I'll pick up second being the DMR.

Yeah. At least that is what it sounds like. It just means that the DMR and BR might be the most used weapons in the game. Finally beating out the damn Assault Rifle. Now if they can nerf the blast range of the sticky detonator.....
