Halo Discussion Thread

[Klizcool]

Recently, my friends and I did a little test to compare Halo 4 to Black Ops 2. Oh boy, was it fun.

We started with Blops.
We joined 5 different lobbies and found that half of the people in each one were under 15 and had quite the colorful vocabulary. When killed, the person would either ***** about the their sh*tty connection or call me and my friends f*cking retards. Mature yes. If they score a kill, it is immediately followed with "yessssssssssss", which at first made me look outside for a Creeper. Don't even get me started on rage quits. Tranzit and Zombies were quite mellow to say the least.

I must say that we did, however, meet some pretty cool people too. Of course, these people were adults. They did smack talk, yes, but not at the level that the children did.

After a couple of hours, we switched to Halo 4.
We only found a couple of youngins on Halo 4. They were quite lucid, mostly because you it's difficult to blame lag in halo. Anyone who did swear profousely was either cool with the party leader, or was kicke from the game. In matchmaking, we found the people to be pretty loud, but at least they weren't wildly inappropriate. The worst we heard that night was about a camper with a Sniper Rifle.

Conclusion- Play whatever you want, but just remember; I you don't like the overuse of the F-Bomb, Play Halo 4.

Haha, isn't call of duty the best?

Now excuse while I wash my mouth out with soap.

I do enjoy playing CoD. but usually just with family or friends, people, or kids, playing CoD are way to serious. It is fun, but to an extent.

I like that Halo has the more game types. Plus the whole forge and filesharing.

My little brother will be playing Black ops 2 on his 360, while I'm playing halo on mine, and if he goes to the bathroom or something, I walk down stairs and say in his mic "Halo 4 is alot better than Black Ops 2." when he gets back, everyone yells at him for saying that. Its so funny to see others team up on him. :3

Does Halo 4 filesharing work yet? Like can you search for gametypes and maps and stuff? Because last I checked (a few weeks ago) it still wasn't working.

[Smoke Monster]

It works for me. Maybe I'm bias, but I think halo is a superior game minus reach which I didn't care for.

Well I said filesharing cause I didn't know what to call it. I think you have to search for the person who submitted the map, and go to their uploads. Then I don't remember what else to do. :/ But I dont think it works.
If it works for you, Smoke monster, then you Sir are a lucky bastard

I love the new playlist that allows us to play forged maps. So far I've enjoyed every map I've had, its been real fun both in Inifinity Slayer and Capture the Flag.

[Smoke Monster]

I wish Team Swat had more maps to play in. It feels like they only pick 3 maps. On a side note, does anybody know if the new map are included in Swat?

Also, I wish the old ranking system was still intact. One of the things that drives me crazy about COD is the fact that different ranked players are in the same game. I liked the way Halo 2-3's matchmaking was.

The lack of a ranking system does seem a bit unfair. I'm only an SR21, and I'm relatively good for someone who doesn't play often, and I was playing against several SR100+ earlier. It was a massacre.

Agreed, it felt like I picked up right where Halo 3 left off, I was in the high 30's as far as rank. And I was holding my own against SR 60's-100's after less then a week of playhing. But it doesn't seem like an actual rank, just how much points you're accumulating.

That's basically what it is. But to me, it's a level of commitment to the game: the higher the level, the more committed you are, and thus the better you most likely will be.

It'll have to do I suppose! I have a question, do you receive any benefits of achieving higher ranks i.e. COD?

As far as I'm concerned, no. I know you get one Spartan point per level up, which you would then use to purchase goodies for your loadouts. The only thing I know that a higher rank unlocks is more armor and emblem customization options.

[EmphaticPikachu]

so what did everyone think of the new spartan Ops? I thought it was quite cool .

"Oh great...I got a map."

It also unlocks more weapons dont it? I love the game, and i lov emy xbox, its the slim, so no red ring of death. But then again, no hard drive, me and my friends like to watch our gameplay when we play with four of us, but since i have trhe slim i cant. And dont sya you can buy a hard drive for it, caus ei have yet to see one.

Being able to use specializations at SR-50 onwards, no?

Haven't even got room for it on my crappy, old hard drive for it yet :/

[Dread Advocate]

I know about that now, but not at the time of posting that.

No worries! I'm SR-54 and picked Engineer first (I'm from the UK, so we got most specializations late). Rogue and Salker got released this week so I'll pick Rogue next. Would appeal to me the most ATM.

[ImAnOKIE12]

Y'all wanna know a glitch? How to shoot a spartan laser without charging.

Go on forge, lay down a trait Zone, pause, go to trait zones, trait zone Alpha, weapons and damage, bottomless clip, then get a spartan laser, shoot all of the rounds OUTSIDE of the Zone, the. Walk into it the zone and start shooting, you can use the rail hi on this to, but the rail gun just shows little green bursts at the end of the gun, no damage. But splaser works. Haven't tried any other guns though. Enjoy!

That's awesome, I could see how Halo would be a great movie, but..
No! I don't have Internet, so the new 720 would be useless. I would be afraid that they start releasing the games only for 720.
I really think it was a bad idea to make where it runs only if connected to Internet. But I could see why they did that, almost everyone in America has wifi/Internet.

Hopefully my grandma will be able to be talked into getting wifi. I need a way to level up faster.
