Ive had a 24 slot File Share in Halo since Halo 3 with Bungie Pro. I dont actually subscribe to Bungie Pro but I think I got it free for downloading some DLC in Halo 3 and it just carried over on my account to Reach. Just wondering, will I still have a 24 slot File Share for Halo 4 or will I lose it all of a sudden and only get 6 slots? If anyone knows anything about the File Share for Halo 4 or how it will work perhaps you can shed some light. Not really a major concern of myn but id still like to know.
Also Ive been playing a lot of MLG lately, trying to get back into it before Halo 4 comes out, and one important aspect of being a good teamate is obviously calling out and talking to your team and one overlooked way of doing this is through your death cam while respawning. You can spin your camera around your dead body and see the things around you and you can cycle through your teams players and see them in third person to try and give them a better idea of whats around them. But what if there was a way to have a free roaming camera during your respawn. Maybe just have fixed spots on each map, like in the corners(I think Gears of War does this) that you could cycle through on your respawn. For example, I recently played a game on The Pit and took some screen shots of where these fixed locations could be during the game. Red Corner 1 Red Corner 2 Blue Corner 1 Blue Corner 2
Imagine these spots on every map with a panning camera that could show you the entire map during your respawn. I just thought it would be a cool idea and would really help team communication. Let me know what you think.
To answer the question about file shares, since Bungie are no longer in charge of Halo, obviously Bungie Pro is not involved. The trouble is that there is no equivalent with 343i yet, so 343i gave everyone Bungie Pro in a sense.343i will eventually release a Bungie Pro equivalent later.
Also, I do enjoy your idea of the corner cameras, they would be good to check if power weapons had spawned.
im not so sure how i feel about the corners idea. you can already pan around your dead body and I could see this just killing tactics and creating dead space in a map. if people know they are being watched in a certain area they are bound not to go there. i just see it limiting map usage and strategy options if you and your opponent always know where the other is.

Made it sound better than I could. I really don’t think it would be fair that after dyeing you can see everyone on an open map. I’d just stick with the panning around your dead body. It’s fair enough that you can call out where you got killed from, but can’t overstep the boundaries to places you couldn’t even see from where you were standing.

It’s likely through your credit card that’s connected to the account. I know for a fact there was a way to cancel it, because I had to do it myself before I got charged the 750 Microsoft Points. But that’s fine, don’t believe me. I should have just left you alone.

Dont get me wrong, im not trying to pick a fight with you. Im just saying, im definitely not getting charged for it. I know how much I pay for Xbox Live every month and I check my bank statements often. Its just not there.

False. I forget the exact date but 343 basically gave everyone a 24 slot file share once Bungie stopped supporting Bungie Pro and film rendering. EVERYONE has it and it doesn’t cost a dime, nor was it attached to any map pack sales? Not sure where you got that bit of information but that is incorrect.
