-Community Playlist returns

-Vehicle weapon nerfing

-Matchmaking update

-Complex removed from 4v4

-Complex added to Big Team Slayer

 

Wait. Did I finally get one of my prayers answered? Complex finally removed from 4v4 slayer? I think I may cry. 343 listened. As for the rest, I kinda want to see how the community maps are.

[Remy]

Complex is out of 4v4??? AHAHAHAHA I CAN FINALLY PLAY AGAIN.

 

 

 

Seriously. That needed to be done so long ago. Probably the worst map/team size combination in halo history

Someone finally agrees with me.

-Feedback on the weapon tuning

-more feedback on the weapon tuning-

-Jokes 

-Little info about the Community playlist

-They are going to TRY to merge playlist together?

 

Since Goku is busy in a corner crying about how X1 (Xbox One) is going to be. I thought I'd pass on the latest Halo Bulletin to you guys. Speaking of Halo related stuff. The series is going to get is own tv show? Say what? I'm not sure how to feel about this. I mean sure, the animated shorts we got a few years ago was amazing, mainly that one CGI one where Chief and co attacked a Convenant ship to rescue what looked like cortana. I don't know how a tv series will turn out. If it ends up bad......

 

And Destiny. Oh boy does Destiny look good. 

 

IN BUNGIE WE TRUST!

It was actually Halsey they were saving :| At the time, that was my favourite one of the bunch but if you watch it now, you can easily see hot dated the CGI is.

 

Also wasn't Forward unto Dawn a mini-series? I haven't watched it myself, but isn't that just similar to a TV show? I don't think I would expect anything different.

Mini series.....TV show. Not exactly the same

I'm finding the bulletins pointless until E3, and retro kind of chewed me out over posting them too much. feel free to post them EX.

Meanwhile!

Microsoft confirms "Halo Bootcamp" (Gamespot)

More Halo 3 on PC rumors, whatever this Bootcamp thing is its confirmed.

Agreed. 343 doesn't have anything E3 related to say so I will probably stop updating until after or around then.

So what do you guys think of the multiplayer weapon tuning update?

Halo: Spartan Assault Announced! (Kotaku)



Ugh, why just Win8? its like when H2 was restricted to just Vista.

[Patticus]

They're trying to encourage sales of a lackluster OS. You can't blame them, but it's not the best business decision they could've made.

Well actually I'm more ticked by the fact that they are shoving MORE Sarah Palmer in our faces, bitch is already getting a comic book arc about her origins why the hell do we need more of her?!

I'll watch a Youtube play through or something. the music will be the only interesting thing about this anyways besides the H4 content.

[Autosaver]

>Buys Halo 4 for brother as a gift

>gets it in mail

>launches game

>NOPES

 

Apparently the basic units of the Xbox slim can't Halo 4. k

Makes me a little annoyed for owning a Windows 7 phone, it needs interesting games. WP8 get all the good shit!

 

Though at the same time, having it about Sarah Palmer is a turn-off. Hello 343? She's not even interesting. Such a bland character.

What seems to be the problem exactly?

I honestly don't like the update. The weapon nerf is fine. That I enjoy, but the whole lets speed up the game movement thing is pretty lame. I don't want to play COD with halo settings. I want my Halo game back. And someone please get rid of active camo. That is by far the worst thing they ever implemented in the series. Dumbest loadout EVER!

[goku262002]

Active Camo should be set back to Halos 1-3 standard, a powerup and not a loadout. Overshield, Speed Boost, and Damage Boost do fine as drop powerups Camo should be apart of that.

We should tell 343 that.

May not matter anymore since fucking Halo 5 may be in the works already. fucking Microsoft

Edited June 6, 2013 by goku262002

[Eternal EX]

As long as active camo is no longer a load out, I'll be buying it. If it stays a loadout, I'm done with the series. Heck I'm cheating on Bungie right now. Destiny please be worth the wait.

[goku262002]

No bulletin last week, in case anyone was wondering. I will wonder on what they will say this week though.

Has anyone tried Mini Slayer?! other then being alittle buggy for reasonable reasons, it really is a fun gametype to play.

Oh and for some reason Neil Davidge isn't composing Halo: Spartan Assault even though we heard a remix of his track in the trailer:

AWARD WINNING COMPOSER/PRODUCER "TOM SALTA" SCORES HALO: SPARTAN ASSAULT (Blogspot)

Its the wonderful team of Paul Lipson and Tom Salta, the composers behind the Halo Anniversary remixes.

This is what I hate about Halo and CoD, they try to bust out a new game WAY TOO soon, barely leaving folks enough time to enjoy the games they just damn released.

 

 

Also, I've been loving their recent updates, but now they took away the Warthogs completely from the Meltdown Map.

And, I wish they make the maps in Castle Map pack playable in Infinity/Big Team Infinity Slayer already.

[goku262002]

Because I just want a reason to bump this topic:

Its getting more concrete.

EDIT:

I cant tell to be honest, so I'm not taking the video as a 100% crediable thing.

More information soon.

Wait. Do I have a reason to bust out H4 again? Please say yes. Because I've stopped playing it because I hated how much the recent nerf fucked the game up.
