Yeah me too. Seems like its working as 343i intended it too.
There is a theater but you can only access war games clips, but to be perfectly honest it doesn’t bother me that much as i only ever used theater to watch over some of my better games on MP, i’m going to stop worrying about no theater for custom and such until 343 fix the more major issues like the many bugs with MP as when i go into playlists such as king of the hill and oddball and see less than 500 people currently playing, its just sad to see, as Halo 4’s multiplayer could be so much better with a few patches.
As far as I know, Campaign theater is not available at the moment. I could be wrong. However I do wish Theater became a multiplayer lobby again. It was something that brought friends together to watch someone pull something awesome off. Yes you could upload it and have them download it and watch it. It is just not the same when you have to do that. I don’t even save clips anymore. It’s just not as fun anymore. In Halo 3, my friends and I would spend maybe 30-45 minutes every other week to take turns showing cool clips of someone getting owned or a nice multi-kill. So if this thread gets seen by someone important at 343i, please pass this along. It was something Bungie gave us and then took from us in Reach. Bring it back for us! You have already done a good job. Keep it up! Maybe include it in a TU.

What “bugs” are you talking about? Everything has been looking and working fine on my end. Besides the wall glitches, but those have since been fixed.

My bad i havn’t played the MP for a while just had a game of regicide though and i experienced no bugs, gonna jump into another game now and go for my commendations for Regicide, I retract my comment about the major MP bugs from earlier although it would be nice to see more numbers on the objective playlists.
Good to hear 343 are working on it 
No campaign theater = forcing us to figure out how to beat enemies by trial and error + figure out enemy spawns and spawn locations
It’s supposed to be like the old times (CE, H2) but why does it not feel like it?
Because it’s a downgrade.

like its that hard to do. 2 run throughs is really all it takes if you pay attention

Look this is halo 4 not any of the previous titles, and of course i had certain aspects about the previous title that i like over halo 4 but halo still feels like halo yes there are changes but 343 are taking it in a new direction whilst retaining the halo feel to it, personally i adored the campaign as the soundtrack and storyline and just the general way it plays. Also on the topic of you not liking not knowing enemy spawns, do you not prefer playing the campaign and learning from your mistakes and going about it a different way until you succeed personally i find it much more rewarding than knowing where everything is so i can easily do missions, Wheres the fun in that?
Having no campaign theater is such a big let down with Halo 4. It was the perfect fan-boy tool to see all the little details that had been put into the environment and NPC’s that can’t be seen while in the heat of battle. It gave a whole new light to things in Halo 3 as you could watch how the sandbox worked while you weren’t there. I simply can’t understand why 343 hasn’t added this in, it just makes the game see more shallow in comparison with Reach and Halo 3. I wan’t an answer or better still a patch.
I made an amazing wallpaper from a screenshot I took using Campaign Theater in Halo Reach. Too bad I wont be able to do that until they add Campaign Theater in Halo 4.

Will they even do that though?

Then Halo 4 doesn’t offer much.

Trial and error isn’t always a good thing. Anyways, that’s not really my main concern because even when I had Theater, trial and error is what I’d resort to.
My main concern is tricking. I used Theater in Halo 3 for my AI collecting hobby, AI battles, etc. It’s already a pain managing the marines. But it’s even worse when I’m unable to check if I missed anything or forgot something without risking a checkpoint, death, etc.

Here you go:
“Theater Mode in Campaign did not make the cut for launch for various reasons of scheduling, rendering issues and some significant engine changes. However, we are treating Title Updates very differently for Halo 4 and rather than simply using them as opportunities for simple big fixes, we are thinking of them as a way to sustain and grow features and options, so it is possible you could see Saved Films made available for Campaign (as well as some other significant features) at some time in the not-too-distant future, but that’s yet to be determined.”

BAN TALOS WORSHIP!!!
But on the OT
Will Spops have Theater with this future patch?
