MLG is probably too busy shitting themselves about all the changes to the multiplayer.

Like the fact that there's more weapons than the DMR to use now.

To be fair, most of the changes to multiplayer are shitty.

Don't worry, the DMR is still objectively the best starting rifle so I'm sure it'll see excessive use in MLG Halo 4.

MLG will always find a way to make a game as ~~competitive~~ boring as possible. Don't worry too much about it.

Speaking of music, if you haven't already I recommend you guys go to the store and buy a physical copy of Halo 4. Instead of just the 15 tracks, you get 6 more and the soundtrack is pretty freaking awesome. It's definitely not the same as Marty's stuff (then again, few soundtracks compare to Marty's work), but it's still REALLY good. My favorites have to be the two tracks Requiem and 117.

117 is the best soundtrack ever in the Halo series (I skipped ODST so not sure about that but still!).

Also, did anyone watch the Forward unto Dawn web series? It's not going to win any awards, but it was still better than 100% of all game adaptations I've seen to date, because for once we have something that targets an audience with at least some background knowledge about the game universe, so no time is wasted on crappy backstories and explanations. It's just a shame that everything looked so plastic due to the low budget. P.S. those trainees were nubs, the AR sucks at long range, use the god damn pistol instead.

Dude, I couldn't stop listening to 117 for a full hour straight. It's such a good score, but can really get stuck in your head. Revival is also really cool.

Lol, a little slowpokey on the Forward Onto Dawn series. But yeah, most of us have watched it. I thought it was really good and it helped me respect Lasky more in the game.

SPOPs Episode 4 is really weak. After watching the terribad-&-short intro film, the episode continues on into a terribad-&-lackluster series of chapters, then finishes with a terribad-&-anticlimactic ending. If they can't do a proper cliffhanger in-engine, then use a CGI sequence for the closing as well. At least that will be worth playing through the shittier chapters.

<insert character name here>: "something is happening!"
<insert mission here>
<repeat>

It was a lame line to end Halo Wars' legendary ending on (of course, Ensemble was looking forward to doing a sequel before getting slice and diced by MS), and it's a fucking lame way to start a mission. Scratch that, missions. It makes me feel like they really haven't decided what's going to happen in an episode before they go into recording.

Second to that cliche line is the now trite "eggheads" description Palmer uses for scientists. She might as well be a fat 13 yr old MLG-wannabe going around calling everyone and everything a 'noob'. She's already a worthless character. All she does is stand around on deck up on the Infinity (except for in Campaign, when it was all-hands-on-Del-Rio's-dick) and mouth off, then yell at others for mouthing off. Oh wait, I forgot, the same women in charge of this whole "we'll ban you from XBL for saying sexist shit, but only if it's female related!" are the same people who head the studio. I can see the point of having a Spartan lead, what appears to be, a battalion of Spartans but she just seems like a poor excuse to put more females in the game. Especially with more and more support in real life to allow women to serve in combat-arms roles. So much for breaking the status quo.

It's like they decided to scrap Bungie's firefight (ie, survival), along with the ability to use variants/skulls and scoring, for a rather weak episodic alternative just so they could say they're pushing the franchise.

A few rotton apples spoils the bunch. But it's like 343 decided they couldn't hold in a shit and had to take a dump into that same bunch, and now they're trying to polish 'dem turds.

In related news, Roland was entertaining enough to make me wish he'd replace Palmer and Miller.

Lol. Nearly every let's play I watch the players basically say "Fuck you Palmer! Fuck you Miller!"
