Glad to know when the TU will be arriving!
And there is a new NEWS section where you will get all the current and new info about Halo 4! Should be very helpful.
Also glad to see that community created maps will be here soon, that means that the file share should be working soon!
P.S. BS angel is answering questions in this thread.
Left out the door quite differently. Except for Spartan OPs, i really don’t think we are going to be getting anything that was different from the first 5 episodes.
Nice to see that the next TU is in in Feb and Team Doubles is returning as well as Team Snipes. Grifball fans are getting some love and the Specs are being released in twos.
They’re acknowledging the DLC fiasco. I’m not sure how to feel about that. Part of me is glad they are, part of me is sickened by the entire way they handled the matter, including not just coming out and saying “we -Yoinked!- up the crimson DLC” instead of just “We messed up with some DLC”.
Rest seems alright. Not a huge fan of Doubles or Grifball, but it is good there will be a TU in February.
Though I really, really don’t understand why they don’t just give in and give everyone their specializations already. There’s no reason for them to be holding them back.
I’m disappointed that the TU will be around late February since that is when the DLC will be released. I was hoping for something a little sooner. I like the other stuff though.
Just made me even more let down, well im happy team doubles will be out but for a week tops. Was hoping for some major changes but i guess that wont happen and halo 4 will be dead by early next year.
I have mixed feelings. I am glad that they acknowledge that the game isn’t perfect. I am disappointed how they never got into detailed about thing that we want (custom games, Ranking System, and etc).

Yep this doesnt help all the millions of people that are stuck ate SR 70 in anyway, nor does it help those people that love grifball, FFA, doubles, and team snipers.
/sarcasm
Just because it doesn’t appeal to you that does not mean it is the same for everyone else.

I agree. The bulletin gives us no information except tells us that 343i themselves find aspects of H4 disappointing.
I don’t care that the engine needed rebuilding, that doesn’t affect me whatsoever, but I do care about how 343i are going to update their game so I stick around with H4.
We all want details. Why can’t they give us any?? Is it that top-secret? Or that underwhelming?
