RED X's are back! For longer too!

So 2am Friday gave us time for emergency fixes and gets it out so people can use it over the weekend. So we pulled the trigger. Here is the official announce:
"Red Xs are fixed properly. Sorry they were busted so long."
My seal of approval. :)

Yay!.gif "94")
:D
hell yeah. ON MY X!
This will be especially helpful on maps with no useful callouts.
I'm talking about all the forge maps that rely on a colored square in a partition for a callout, that they seem to be adding into the MMing mix.
We played a game of swat on one the other night that was horrible. It was like playing on a rubix cube, except all the sides were grey, and it had some pillars that would get in the way.
I can now serve a purpose again!.gif "4")
It really makes going in without a full team or with someone without a mic much more feasible. Hooray.
I still like "there's a guy!" It's my favorite callout ever. TOTALLY helps my team.
Don't forget "Hey ! behind you !"..lol
Great!! I'll never have to say "On my...sh*t...never mind" again!
And here I had gotten so used to keeping track of where my teammates were and noticing when their markers disappeared...
So was this broken from launch until now, or did they add a feature from past Halo games finally?
Edit: the red X change helps me a lot more in larger team size games now that I think about it. SWAT was manageable but games with more players were tough. Glad to see this in the game.
Lol Gul! That one always gets me. I jump, look behind me, then wonder who the hell was in danger lol!
Fiiiiiiiiinally. I never quit saying " On my X"
We've been trained. About time they've fixed this, too.
So is it a fix for an error preventing the red X, or did they finally use game design that made sense?
I'm still unclear if they fixed a bug or their mistake.
Well, it wasn't in the game at first, then it was added but the X was white and disappeared very quickly. Now it seems to be more inline with what we had in previous games.
I've never seen why it was not in the game at the beginning. I'm thinking it was one of those things they thought could be left out and not really be missed.
At this point, I'd say the Halo 4 beta is proceeding nicely. Now we have the red X markers back and the weapon tweaks coming in a few weeks.
Keep it up 343!
I finally stopped saying it now I've got to retrain myself...
"On my ampersand!"
