On your ex! (The return of the Red X)

In our infographic almost 3000 gamers said they wanted the red X to return! Bsangel already commented that they are listening, and this tweet seems to indicate that the X is returning :)!

For the lazy:

> On your ex.

Baby steps, but progress nonetheless.
Granted, I never knew that I was using the X back in the day, but it will be a welcome return if they do bring it back in.

Now, how about those Customs?

That is good news :slight_smile:

YEAH!!

I missed it when I first startd playing H4. Now, I don’t miss it at all. The X in the radar tracker is enough for my immediate field of action…

That being said, I wouldn’t mind it making a comeback. I just don’t know how quickly I can get to the X given how some H4 maps are arranged.

I don’t know… BS Angel tweets a lot, and taking away something as substantial as the return of the red “X” from such a short tweet seems to be a bit of a premature analysis. I would love for this to make a return, but for now I’m not buying it solely based off of that single mini tweet.

Are you implying that Bsangel is lying on someone’s ex right now?

I’m implying BS Angel is a big tease, and that I’m not sold on that we’ll see the red “X” actually make a return into Halo 4’s gameplay.

Exactly

I don’t think that means anything. I think she just saw the title of this thread and thought it was funny. Unless she says, “Red X when you die is returning,” I’m not going to expect much.

I wish she would tweet saying 343 is listening to the fact that CSR needs to be visible and they are working on fixing the more important issues with H4. But this is good news though.

ok, so NOW I have enough to go on to believe this…

"We’ll have more details at our PAX East panel but would like to confirm that the “X Marker” upon death will be returning, so you’ll soon be notified when and where your teammates are killed by an “X” logo that will appear on your HUD for a brief period. We’re pumped to bring this community request back to life and can’t wait to hear you screaming “ONE SHOT ON MY X!!” in Matchmaking."

Very very awesome news regarding this!! Can not wait for this title update to come out! ^^ That being said, I would still never go off of a cryptic mini tweet from the 343 angel as proof. VERY happy about this! WOOT!

Oh wow. 3000 people said they wanted some X to make the game easier for themselves, so they got it. Every non-US player that stopped playing Halo 4 asked for a local only search filter, and they get ignored.

I loves them priorities…

This is the sad thing. If 343I tries to please one community, all the others will complain that they didn’t get their turn.

Anyways, a search filter might come with the X along with several other things in the next TU regardless.

I don’t really care about whose “turn” it is (frankly I’ve accepted that my turn will never come) but considering the option to search locally affects everybody you would think it would be the first thing they would consider fixing.

I tell my friends, “All ‘1 shot on my X’ means is you got out shot” lol, I’m jk

It can mean many things, But I’m glad it’s returning

on my ex? you can have her she was a -Yoink- anyway

About -Yoinking!- time.

Yes! That is awesome news. I do wonder why it was removed though. Hmm nonetheless I’m glad! Great stuff.

im happy though i will have to get used to it again. i spent the first couple weeks of halo 4 going “ON MY X!!!..oh nevermind…”
