Halo 4

[Salodin]

Don't have the game on right now, but can you play team snipers quick matched but unranked?

[Ragnus]

I'm going to be depressed as fuck when SWAT gets dropped from rotation. And I was just wondering, why is Relay in none of the playlists?

Man, same here. It's the only game type other than Flood that I really enjoy.

[Jakson]

I pretty much only play SWAT and TSnipers, with the occasional CTF or regular TS, so dropping any of these kinda makes me not want to play.

[remdynex]

SWAT getting dropped? Guess only Reggie for me.

[-Zer0-]

I can't imagine it being dropped for long. All the playlists eventually made it back in the long run for both 3 and Reach iirc. Silly of them to remove it, yes, but they know it's a popular game type.

[Qalbert]

swat was supposed to be a one-week but they extended it due to people playing

[Pooky]

I loathe the daily exp cap, they really need to ditch it already. If not, at least let commendation exp rewards apply on the next login if you're capped.

[Salodin]

Isn't the exp cap really based to reach any ways? Stop drinking so much mountain dew and go outside once every 10 hours.

You can easily hit the exp cap without needing to play for "10 hours." You can hit it in what, 10 spartan ops matches? ~1.5 hours? Also you don't actually need to drink mountain dew or eat doritos to get the 2xp codes, just a camera phone and a trip to the local supermarket. Thanks for your misguided input and insinuations though

3 Overkills in 1 match tonight :D

Oh so you mean repeating the same spartan ops over and over to max out on xp...maxes you out on xp? Who knew.

If you want to farm exp, or don't have a life for 24 hours, then don't be surprised if you cap out on xp. Its harder then you're making it seem.

[Qalbert]

hey maybe you should stop being a judgemental asshat, and stop trying to defend 343's poor decisions. They may have had the best intentions, but the fact is the playlists and the exp cap are aggravating to a large section of the playerbase, and just because it doesn't bother you personally doesn't mean other people are whiny no-lifers.

I'll agree with you that without double exp, and playing regular matches, reaching the exp cap is incredibly hard to do. So I don't see why so many people are bitching about it, it's really not a huge deal. I would rather there be a cap than no cap, otherwise you would see people at an even more inflated rank than there already are due to double exp spartan ops spam. I am guilty of doing this but, I barely play. Really waiting on file share to come out so I can have some fun on this game already. Made a few custom game types that are sweet. Got some Halo 3 Fast Bitches action, Halo on Halo, and general Infection Zombies maps. I really want the race tracks to start popping up though, and the game type to be made. Also can't say how badly this game needs forge world (the map).

Stop being judgmental? On bg? You're not new here, so stop. I'm just calling him out because he has nothing better to complain about then an exp cap that is already set so high that most people can't reach it in a reasonable days worth of gameplay, with double xp on. Farming for exp, then being surprised you're capped on xp is retarded.

[Jakson]

I think the only time I've ever hit xp cap was when a weekly challenge was bugged in Reach (Beat Nightfall on legendary in 9min I think) so you could repeat it, so I did it like 3 times or whatever. Otherwise, it's not so much time that keeps me from hitting caps, it's WTF FUCK THIS GAME

Also got 36 kills in a SWAT game on Saturday what what. (may or may not have died 18 times but whatever don't judge me bro)

Never said I was farming, merely stated that it's not 10 hours of gameplay to cap. Usually the only times I even Spartan Ops or use double exp are when new episodes come out. Without double exp I get roughly 3500 exp a win, meaning that in ~34 matches I've hit cap. Assuming an average playtime of 10 mins a match, shorter for SWAT games, that's roughly 5 hours of play easily obtainable and broken up over the course of an average Sunday. Hardly nolifer territory, and hardly exp farming. Stop being dumb.

Swat is so easy if you're good. I average like 25/30:5 a game.

SWAT/Snipers/Team Slayer Pro are the only things I play now. Actually, Big Team is fun in this game as well compared to past versions.

[Jakson]

Yeah, BTB is previous games (especially 3) was pretty snorefest unless Scorpion/Wraith on Hemorrhage or I get the sniper the whole game.

I don't play conservatively enough to ever get a good k/d ratio, I just don't find it fun.

[Weltall]

Overall, the game is outstanding, but it needs RANKED mode. Not this COD scrub shit where you can't delevel or derank. There is plans for this type of ranked system in January I heard?
