Just a tad of background to start. I was playing through Reclaimer earlier and I had a glitch after the Mammoth is supposed to destroy the second cannon. Instead of destroying it, it never even spawned after I took care of all the Wraiths and Ghosts. Nor did the Covenant that spawn with the ship you have to fly into.
Instead, I was greeted by the SIVs simply running up the hill, boost jumping onto a rock and then boosting again… 10KM into the sky and God knows how far away in the space of a secon or two. I thought it was worth making into a little clip, so I quit and went to check the theatre so I could make a little clip of these SIVs doing the most ridiculous jetpack jump I’ve ever seen.
Unfortunately, I was a tad dismayed to find out that you can’t even watch campaign mode missions in the theatre any more and not only that, it doesn’t even record. I don’t know the reason behind it, but I think 343 really dropped the ball here. Halo 4 should be expanding on things from previous Halos, not reducing them.
I know right. I wanted to recorded the grunt on level to that’s crawling out of his ship. When you stand in front of him he puts his hand up, dies, then drops his needler. SO hilarious and I wanted to file share it.
I was just rampaging through Dawn on Normal (Normal is the new Heroic? LOL) in HD and during some test drives on Requiem, I ended up flipping on my side. But I didn’t get pushed out. And the best part is that I got a checkpoint right at that moment, and have just backed it up on my computer.
The only problem: I have to turn off the console, take out the HDMI cable, and put in the AV cable because the Xbox 360 is fail, I don’t have a really expensive capture box, and there’s no campaign theater. Playing it on a tube TV seems really lame now but it’s the only way I’m going to get the footage.
Also, why was campaign theater not addressed in the bulletin?!!

That reminds me, on Dawn, when you’re escaping the ship, if you kill 2 of 3 Grunts in one area, one of them will raise his hands and make a ‘please, no more’ motion. I’m not sure if it was scripted or if this is a new cowering animation.
I dont seem to be able to get theater to work for spartan ops or campaign so its almost impossible to take screen shots in anything but red or blue armour? It does say on Waypoint that theater only works in war games now WTF. Is it the same for everyone?
It would have been really nice to have access to Theatre Mode for Spartan Ops. Why they’ve left it out is baffling.
Speaking of Theatre, is there no way to download our screenshots on the Halo 4 site? I was kind hoping to download them and show them off on tumblr and with friends. You know, like the last three Halo games made by Bungie permitted.

Heh, I was going to play on Legendary first, but since “Normal is the new Heroic” I decided to go for Heroic. I can’t say I died from enemies the first half of the game, only debris splattering me, or, hitting a wall over the chasm in the ghost section.
The theatre and campaign was shortly addressed in the bulletin before release I think.
Theater seems less solid all round its hard to tell if its theater mode itself or the multiplayer thats the problem, just feels wrong to me ,not very Halo somehow , maybe i got to give it more time or 343 can sort it out but right now i dont see the screen shots being the same quality as 3 or Reach.
