"Halo 4: I Get a Woman!" - Sgt. Mjr. A.J. Johnson, RIP

How are all of you missing the fucking fact this feature has been in Halo in the form of customs since Halo 3?!
Only difference now is it allows you to join mid game in matchmade games.

No one plays customs competitively, so your argument is moot.

You make a good point Zeph, but they had to test it to check it works. Surely someone must have had the brainwave of, oh what happens if its 5 vs 1. In my eyes, they only saw it as a pro and never a con.

Now I'm not bashing the idea of in-game joining, but I want it to be my decision. When I play with Malloy, we want to play competitively. We go in with a game plan of what we want to do usually. If when we are in that game people quit, then yes it could be nice for those slots to fill up, yet I want those people that join, to be in the mindset of "oh, I don't mind joining a game in-progress, and I run the risk if joining a bad game". There are times when I just want to hop in a game and have fun and not worry about if I'm winning, my k/d or whatever, and those are the times where I would pick to join a game in progress.

DarkHalo, your arguing about something in the game that you don't even how its working?? My word...that said, whenever you click Find Game and then select a playlist, you will either join a lobby and start a game from scratch, or you will be put into a game thats already running (and could have just 1 second on the clock remaining, which has happened to me). There is absolutely no indication into what type of game you are joining, the only way to find out is spawn and check the scoreboard/timer.


@Arteen, I agree with every point. I cant make the emblem I've had in the previous games simply because its locked. In certain cases, emblems will be locked until you hit Rank 130.

I'm having difficulty understanding something. Can one in Matchmaking simply not join a lobby that starts a fresh game? Or does joining matchmaking of any kind revolve around joining games already in progress? I thought you could join a regular lobby like the past 5 years and start a game in this game.

Matchmaking searches for any game it can, whether it's in progress or not. You can get thrown into a game in progress, stick with the players after the match and get thrown into another game in progress. No way to avoid it.

Arteen's List of Major Halo 4 Grievances

1. Where did all of the emblems and backgrounds go? Eagle emblem? Gone. Dreamcatcher background? Missing in action.
2. Any why lock emblems at all? I can understand locking a few of them, like the "117" one, but locking the majority of them?
3. I can't see my Spartan's feet in the Armory. How the heck am I supposed to pick proper legware if I can't check out my boots?
4. Only two color choices? By now I was expecting to be able to choose primary and secondary colors on a per-piece basis. Heck, even Halo 3 had primary, secondary, and decal choices.
5. Even the color choices themselves are lacking. Where's magenta? Madness.
6. Why can't I choose the under-armor color separately? Even Mass Effect 3 lets me choose my under-armor color. I want it to be black, not the same as the primary.

(seriously though, I'm disappointed with the missing emblems)

Is it bad that I'm more bothered over this? Especially the emblems. I really hope they still have mine.

How is that in any way shape or form relevant to the fact the feature has been ingame the entire time?
Oh but wait,you struck out twice

The current state of the system hasnt been in any previous games. The problem with it is that it is in matchmaking, the automated system of putting you into a game. You have absolutely no control what game you get put in. Forge, and custom games you do.

Warlord, your losing the plot.

SWAT is broken, and the only map it's played on is Haven and Abandon, fucking stupid voters.

Like seriously, you can swipe with the BR and get a headshot. It's stupid.

Sounds lame, but SWAT will never be as competitive as it was in Halo 2 and Halo 3. Those were some glorious days I tell you.

Nobody answered this for me:

Is there an emblem in this game that functions like the Seventh Column used to, where you can toggle it to show no emblem? Because F emblems.

[BobtheGreatII]

Why in the world would you hate emblems? Lol. What a weird thing not to like.
