I am going to play the hell out of assault and CTF on H2A until they shut it down, just like I did the first time.

Brofist.
I like my slayer, but assault and ctf always make or break the teams, especially BTB
Rounding up the old posse for this
This is... a really great idea.

Yeah, I knew the intent of your post. Personally, Reach's maps were just so damn terrible that I could barely get much enjoyment out of them, especially when combined with the lackluster art style and undesirable gameplay changes.
Flag and Assault using Halo 2 mechanics on The Pit is what I think you meant ;]

halo 2 won't be nearly as good as it was before if everyone is in party chat. It used to feel like a really social game, especially btb

which is why 343 should force game chat
I don't think it's feasible with how the X1 promotes party chat now.

It won't work. People will just play without their mics or mute everyone else or just not play those modes.
You can't put the djinni back in the bottle...

I always muted the other team anyway. It was a setting in H3.
They could also do hybrid chat where your randoms get slipstreamed into your party, so you could have your cross game chat but also talk to people you're playing with

Oh wait, you're serious? Sure was a mean poker face you had on there!
But seriously, CoD tried this already! You want another thing from CoD in HALO?!?!
The exit's that way.
EDIT:
Was this how the Xbox One chat was originally designed? I would hear chat coming through the mic from the game chat while I was in a party. I figured it was just a bug since it stopped happening after a while.. Strange.

Actually I think it is...or was. When the system came out, ones of the many bugs that BF4 had was the game didn't really work with the party chat, so we set up our party and hoped into a Skype call. I do recall we could hear game chat from time to time though.
I don't know if that system is still in place though cause they pretty much threw out their party ideas in favor of copying the 360 one soon after launch.

So stoked for this. Love the halo games.
Played multiplayer from 3,4 and reach for first time in ages.
I believe my eyes have opened. Halo 4 is nowhere near as good as I thought it was when I first played it. The maps are terrible and the weapon placement indicator were a terrible idea.
Halo 3 is just as hardcore as I remember. Going back to the days before they implemented the horrible exp system to try and appease cod fans. Feels sluggish to todays standards but overall solid. Great map design.
Reach however, has been the most fun imo. You have a choice of a couple of perks but nothing too drastic. The game has dmr in original form which was peachy and the map design is brilliant. I cant believe how bad map design has become since 343 took over.
I know reach gets a bad rep, but honestly, as Bungies swansong, it is brilliant. Shame we aint getting this at 1080p 60fps as the game would benefit from this greatly.
With that said, we are getting halo 2 redone, so thats a trade off I'll quite happily accept.

It was probably my least favorite campaign but I had a lot of fun with it still, including solo and co-op legendary runs, a shitton of Spartan Ops and even a lot (for me) of multiplayer. Was the most fun I've had in any Halo competitive multiplayer really, but I can understand the complaints all the same.
Its still a big draw to the Master Chief collection for me. But hell, they all are.

Yeah, I can too. I guess I'm not used to being in the minority when it comes to Halo games. Usually my opinion seems to be the universal ones.
"Halo 2 had the best multiplayer"
"Halo Combat Evolved had the best campaign"
"Halo 4 did not disappoint"
It's easy to spot the non-universal statement.
The load outs and sprint feature ruined it for me to be honest. I don't want that garbage anywhere near halo.

Comparatively, it's been the least replayable one for me (although Reach was way more frustrating). I still had some fun with it though, and I wouldn't take back the excitement I felt in its early weeks. Multiplayer could have improved significantly with a more traditional offering and better DLC integration. Those maps were fairly good, but they rarely showed up outside of the blue moon playlist.
Hopefully, 343's next Halo not only triples that excitement, but makes it last.

Loud Outs were dumb, but don't you dare talk shit about sprint

Awesome to hear. The campaign stunned me with its quality. Even though I put halo 1 and 2 above 4's campaign I think you're pretty dead on about Halo 4 being the second best.
I hear ya, they didn't bother me but I totally understand your complaints.
Loadouts alter how the game plays and sprint can effect movement through the map and awareness.
It probably helps to mention that I play Halo exclusively for the campaign, the multiplayer is just add on fun for me. I think it's fair to say most of the complaints resonated in the multiplayer. The least replayable campaign for me personally was Halo 3. It's usually the one I skip over.
I'm with you though, if 343 knocks it up another notch or two still, I can see something truly fantastic coming next fall.

It was at least better than Reach (as far as MP goes)

Sprint, join in progress, jetpacks, no armor lock, personal ordnance that meant I got more power weapon time more often, the Mantis, and of course just how amazing everything looked and felt. Guns packed punch, Spartans felt like mobile tanks, loadouts were fun without ever once turning into a game of rock-paper-scissors.Loud Outs were dumb, but don't you dare talk shit about sprint
A lot of that is pretty much blasphemy to HaloGaf, I know, but I loved all of those things. Still would have been best to offer a true old school mode right from the get-go, to keep from leaving the old guard out in the cold. I always thought the Reach idea of an ultra competitive Arena was a good one. Keep that idea going, and make it the more pure Halo experience possible. Equal opponents, no widening-the-audience systems in place, no instant gratification - just classic cage match map control.
I loved those things also. Start a Blasphemer's Guild!

Stinkles please tell me that UI isn't final :/

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Why what's wrong with the UI?
I only have an issue for the custom game UI. No info and a LOT of wasted space

This, and I'm not a fan of how it looks overall. Looks like placeholder UI.
Mute feature exists for a reason. I'd deal with that if it meant I have the opportunity for teammates who communicate.

In theory that's how it would be but a lot of those people would probably still just not talk. Taking away party chat now will not create the same environment that never having it in the first place provided.

They haven't said, fingers crossed we get news on this soon, though. Multiplayer with dedicated servers would be amazing. I can only hope that next-next gen we'll get a framerate increase.

No. Sprint killed maps. Killed them.

While the rest of us will happily take advantage of a nice system feature that doesn't force us to manage chat of everyone that comes in and out of the lobby.

I'll third this.
Loved everything about Halo 4. Loved everything about Halo prior to Halo 4 also, so I'm pretty much happy either way.

Count me in as a Halo 4 fan too. Been Halo'in since 1. H4 is not as good as the classics but its still a great multiplayer game. The thruster makes it tough going back to the older Halos. Im hoping it is a permanent movement feature in Halo 5.
