I don't know how it happens exactly, but I'd wager that caused by switching between the stances in the list quickly and then saving it. Before Halo 4 came out, wasn't there some advertising that you could actually choose which guns you hold in your pose/picture or whatever? Or is that directly tied in with which stance you take?

Or something angry like that. I don't think it's "Feature creep" to wait until the game you're developing is up to par with the last one that was out (I'd even settle for "pretty close") and not shipping with major portions completely broken. I don't think that's unreasonable or worthy of you getting sarcastic about how I feel about it. I didn't ask for them to dev it forever or keep adding things. I asked for them to dev it until their poo poo works and is ready to be used. A game company is telling me pretty major portions of a game I bought (and actually really enjoy) will be useable "early next year!" and I'm the one being an rear end for not liking it.

Ineffiable posted:If they can't increase their virtual numbers, what's the point of playing man? It's not about focusing on the metagame to the exclusion of everything else. I'd probably take a break from the game if I were capped. Not because I don't enjoy the game for its own sake, but because like most players in the ~70 range, I'm close to hitting master in some commendations with hefty exp payouts. I'd rather that XP go towards unlocking specialisations that will keep the game fresh by adding new features, than just being lost to the ether. If all I had left to unlock was just cosmetic, or just a higher number next to my name, I wouldn't care though. Thankfully I did get the specialisation unlock, so I don't have to care about it.

That's really all I'm saying. I probably wouldn't have paid 60 dollars to get into what amounts to final QC on Halo 4 but oh well, I trust they'll eventually have their poo poo together since it's the systems flagship title. And that's the only thing keeping me from being livid about the whole thing. Right now it's just really really annoying. It's the game we were warned about when consoles took on day 1 patches, updates and everything else. In non-complaint news: I really enjoy Spartan ops nowadays and doing a "best of" matchmaking list for the break was a stroke of genius. They should just have an entire other section that has a rotating cast of 4-5 missions that people really liked or that they see a lot of the community hasn't completed. I hope they give us tools for making our own SOPS missions someday, that'd make up for and surpass firefight. Intel&Sebastian fucked around with this message at 18:52 on Dec 13, 2012 |

Just to sidetrack from all the bitching... If anyone is up for some goon games then hit me up! I'll be on for a good few hours tonight. Gt: Hamburlgar 420 I'll be doing BTB mostly if we get enough people together and some customs too if people are up for it!

I really wish this stance was selectable Oh yeah, this reminds me of another hilarious thing I noticed. After coming out of a game few days ago, I randomly clicked on my player card in the lobby. I was using the assassin pose at the time, and for some reason it went into bullet-time. The model slowly moved/rotated into the pose, and I saw the knife gently levitate up to meet the hand. I managed to see it again in slow-mo by switching to another player's card, but then it sped up again and hasn't done it since.

It gets ridiculous in spots but I appreciate their commendations being hard to get. I got within 2 5-killstreaks for a gold skin on a shotgun in COD in a weekend and I suck even worse at that game. I haven't buckled down and actually focused on any of them just yet and I think I'm pushing 9% total? That seems about right. I feel like I see 2-3 of them pop up as complete in one nights session.

Actually, I have one of these "mythical" email addresses and didn't get an email. Guess they only got sent out to anyone eligible to receive them leaving the rest of us in the dark, only able to find out through forums or other avenues.  quote:I said it before, I'll say it again: jackasses gotta have that carrot nowadays. Games ain't fun unless you have a progress bar to fill, feel-good text every time you do something good to let you know just how good you're doing at the moment, and don't forget: numbers, numbers, numbers! Colour me surprised that people flock away from Battle Rifle Floaty Shooter™ when one of the few interesting things about it comes to a screeching halt. Halo's multiplayer is pretty shallow, especially when the public userbase seem to gravitate to making every single game's combat play out in exactly the same way. There aren't that many people who are into using forge to make their own fun in the game, not when the public playlists shouldbe doing that for them. So I don't blame people for migrating away to other more interesting games when the personal unlock stuff runs out. On top of that, as has been said, it's an arbitrary cap that pretty much just ruins the whole commendation/challenge system.

Had some really great games with a party full of goons just now. Even threw in a little "Jurrasic Park" game mode to break up the chaos of BTB. I think I will have to do that more often when organising a group. For those that don't know what "Jurrasic Park" is, watch this.

Flood game variant with a map based loosely on some key featured of the first film: Cars on rails, Nedry's crashed car, the kitchen, the observatory, broken fences and a Velociraptor feeding pen. The flood are basically the escaped Velociraptors and the others have to fight them off. Pretty fun little variant to spruce things up when BTB gets a little stale.

What are people going to besides Halo 4 on the 360 after they hit the cap? I'm still not sure why some are disappointed with the game. It has a better campaign than Reach, and better multiplayer that will only become better as more game modes are rotated in.

Yeah, I totally get your complaints, but it's not like your miserable to play with. We always have fun in Spartan Ops, and Co-Op, and even the multiplayer when we are in the right mood. Having issues with the game, and not having it hold your interest for long aren't really reasons to stop buying it.

My problem was that in Reach I never really felt attached to the squad. I will admit though that the ending in Reach, as far as FPS's go, was a pretty awesome way to end it.
