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.

      I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
