As with any game that is a properly maintained online title, curious what prompted this post, or just random :)

Someone said they want/hope for more updates etc. Just saying that I expect to see them adding more things like Spartan Ops missions to tie right into Halo 5.

Just finally started digging into this, played some War Games and Spartan Ops - seems last week was Episode 3 then it switched to Episode 4 now. Just did those today (guess it's all on Legendary) I wanna play Episode 1 and 2 with in online matching though as it's hard as hell by myself on Legendary.

Seems they switch every week to something new (I think episodes 6-10 coming out next week). I like the challenges too that make you wanna keep playing. That damn timer, I look at it and go aww man, gotta keep going before it runs out!!

Oh well, finally starting to have fun with it. Still gotta finish it on Legendary solo and co-op so when someone's ready just message me and we can go from there :)

why is the Crimson Pack segregated? why can't they do it like with COD where it automatically detects which DLC you have when matchmaking? when I go online there's maybe 700 people on Crimson, and 20K on Big Slayer. doesn't make sense.

at least I did finally get to SR-20. I think that's enough for me, really good MP but time to finish the campaign after like four months!

The Crimson playlist is there if you only want to play the Crimson map pack and nothing else. If all other players you are matched with in the regular playlists have the Crimson map pack, it'll still give you some options on those maps. In other words, you can still play on the Crimson maps while in the other playlists.

I am not getting much time playing this game (or any game for that matter) and whenever I do get time, I mostly prefer playing in Big Team Battle as that's where most of population seems to be. I wanted to do usual 4v4 Team Infinity Slayer but it was taking longer than normal to find a game (I have Crimson DLC) and then when it did, I played 2/3 games where opposite team was full of campers with ****ing Promethean Vision. So 343i got rid of armor lock to give us Promethean Vision. I gave up!

Oh man, this is fast turning out to be my least favorite Halo multi-player. :/

Thanks a lot for the info man, sorry for the late reply. finally finished the SP just now, good ending, quite emotional. this was a good game, to me as good as Halo 3 and much better than Reach.

Halo 4: Majestic Map Pack Details

It's been developed in tandem with external developer Certain Affinity, which has worked on several pieces of Halo content for Microsoft in the past.

The expansion contains 3 new maps designed for up-close-and-personal gameplay, best suited to small teams. The maps are titled Landfall, Monolith and Skyline.

Furthermore, the pack includes 2 new DLC playlists and a new free-for-all game mode called Infinity Rumble. The game is set up in a way that every kill and death feels meaningful, this is created by having slower spawn times in the free-for-all matches. Infinity Rumble will be exclusive to the Majestic DLC playlist for a period of time. The 2 new playlist are Majestic FFA DLC for 8 players, and Majestic Team DLC for 4 vs. 4.

There are 10 new achievements, if you're into that sort of thing ? that's 250 points.

The new maps will also be integrated into existing Infinity Slayer, Capture the Flag, SWAT, Regicide, Doubles, Team Objective and Team Throwdown playlists. DLC maps will appear in a playlist if all members of the match have the content purchased or the War Games Map Pass, Microsoft said.

800 MS Points // Included with War Games Pass // April

I'm quite behind on those myself, probably even further behind than you.

Yeah, everyone is playing the newest episode so I have to go it alone, not a issue but it makes the time it takes to finish each chapter longer. I hope they use these episodes to tie into halo 5 though.

Larger maps again in Castle map pack :/

From the numbers of users I see playing in my area of live, dunno if it's split up by EU and US servers or whatever but way more people seem to play big team slayer compared to a few hundred playing some of the other modes. I figure they see this and just go with that, more maps for more players etc.

I really want to know if they'll do a new season of Spartan Ops or what? The way season one ended is a good setup for halo 5 though.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

Furthermore, Bluetooth provides wireless connectivity for syncing and communication with devices running Apple iOS 16.4 or later and Android 11.0 or later. The tracker stores up to 7 days of minute-by-minute activity data and retains daily activity totals for the previous 30 days. In terms of water resistance, the Fitbit Charge 6 has a 5 ATM rating that should make it suitable for swimming and water activities.

    • TeraCopy 4.0 Build 28

      By Copernic · Posted

      TeraCopy 4.0 Build 28 by Razvan Serea TeraCopy is a compact program designed to copy and move files at the maximum possible speed, also providing you with a lot of features. Copy files faster. TeraCopy uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce seek times. Asynchronous copy speeds up file transfer between two physical hard drives. Pause and resume transfers. Pause copy process at any time to free up system resources and continue with a single click. Error recovery. In case of copy error, TeraCopy will try several times and in the worse case just skips the file, not terminating the entire transfer. Interactive file list. TeraCopy shows failed file transfers and lets you fix the problem and recopy only problem files. Shell integration. TeraCopy can completely replace Explorer copy and move functions, allowing you work with files as usual. TeraCopy is free for non-commercial use only. For commercial use you need to buy a license. The paid version of the program includes the following features: Copy/move to your favorite folders. Save reports as HTML and CSV files. Select files with the same extension/folder. Remove the selected files from the copy queue. Features added since version 3.17: Enhanced speed graph. New multi-threaded copy engine. Support for copying to multiple targets. Queue system for managing multiple copy operations. Support for receiving files via the LocalSend protocol. TeraCopy entry in the modern Windows Explorer context menu. Integrated toolbar in the title bar. Why receive LocalSend transfers with TeraCopy? Handle file conflicts: Skip, overwrite, or rename files when a file with the same name already exists. LocalSend always creates another copy, which can waste time and disk space, especially when resuming an interrupted transfer. Filter unwanted files: Apply ignore lists or remove files manually before accepting a transfer, so unnecessary files are not downloaded. Better performance on fast networks: In tests over a 10 Gbps connection, TeraCopy received files several times faster than the standard LocalSend app on Windows. TeraCopy 4.0 Build 28 changelog: Fixed a bug where Overwrite behaved as Overwrite All during same-drive move operations. AdvancedInstaller fixed the installer’s security vulnerability: EXE Bootstrapper resolved the %appdata% location incorrectly for the System account. Download: TeraCopy 4.0 Build 28 | 14.6 MB (Freeware, paid upgrade available) View: TeraCopy Website | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
