[Orochinagis]

This is going to seem incredibly selfish of me, but I need some cheering up. HaloGAF, today's my birthday, and I've been depressed as hell throughout the entire day. Say happy birthday to me, or something.

Welcome to the club, you are not alone, Happy birthday and happy random gif.

 

[Tashi]

Happy Birthday Dax!

 

[Ragnarok Flames]

So the AI in Spartan Ops is more competent on Legendary than Marine AI in the other games. Also Fuck Kat's Driver AI

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Sabres suck, Halo sucks.

Happy B-day Dax!

overall the AI for driving in Halo is pretty bad.

I think its worse than previous halos but still in which chapter? some of the chapters they are invincible until you trigger another action then they die.

 

[Mace Griffin]

Sorry but every one who wants to win will go the route which is the easiest. Halo 3 had also some things that you could have abused or there were cheap tactics.

Eventhough I have to agree that Infinity Slayer is shit I think your other complains are not that bad.

Especially the Movement Speed, I think the normal movement speed is way better than Reachs, strafing is affected by other things I think.

And I really like the Railgun, probably because it is so strong.
Playing Doubles Pro on Haven rushing down grabbing the speed boost and then getting the Railgun... <3

The base movement speed is very slow obviously to accommodate sprint (gimmick). This to me is a negative as it makes the game less skilful and less varied in terms of gameplay.

Halo 3 had a minute percentage of cheap tactics compared with halo 4.

The fact that players will do whatever it takes to win is exactly the reason that having a game full of viable cheap tactics is a bad idea.

 

[Gui_PT]

Frank single handedly made all the decisions so this is spot on

He did?

Wow Frankie O'Cockles, shame on you.

Happy birthday Dax. Cheer up darlin.

A Company of Heroes-esque Halo RTS would be amazing.

Don't get my hopes up, man...

 

[Zoolader]

Yep

ahahaha, I wish.

Whats the Time frame for nostalgia?

 

[Blueblur1]

I love starting a CTF match with only one team mate. Oh, and he's AFK. JIP is so awesome.

2 Millennia

 

[Mace Griffin]

Pretty sure "calling people out" is bannable..

Is ruining Halo bannable?

 

[MrGreencastle]

Played some ODST Firefight earlier. I love that lighting, those night explosions are so great. Can't wait for Halo 4: ODST!

 

[heckfu]

Yesssss yes they were. Reach had some stinkin' beautiful explosions, too. Best in the series I think.

Why, why are you still playing this game!?

Everyone needs to stop playing before they make a Halo 5 that is terrible.

 

[Fuchsdh]

Lately it's been a weekly thing.

Got donged on in doubles pro on Rail today. I really like the verticality of the map.

Rail is a pretty nice map, although it also reminds me why I really enjoy the move to "visible" transit like mancannons and grav lifts. Teleporters feel really outmoded to me now and it's something I definitely don't miss about old Halo maps. On the plus side with Rail, you can easily tell when someone's going for the TP so you can still lock down the top pretty easily.

Made me miss Campaign theater :/

Are any of you HaloGAFfers good at photoshop? I have a request. :3

3edgy6me.

Happy birthday Dax! We all love you here <3

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Don't you Great Britain people use it in 90% of your sentences? Also, I don't remember that so called 'meltdown' at all.

Edit: Halo

It's still very taboo in Britain. I use it but only by n certain company.

 

[Hydranockz]

Shoot.

 

[Ghazi]

Shoot.

Ha! He has damage boost so he kills you in 4 shots with the BR.

 

[Aggrotek]

Shoot.

PM sent.

 

[The Librarian]

Haha, thanks everyone. I feel slightly better.

 

[Aggrotek]

Haha, thanks everyone. I feel slightly better.

It's your day of matriarchal expulsion? Why did no one tell me?

Congrats!

 

[MrGreencastle]

Yesssss yes they were. Reach had some stinkin' beautiful explosions, too. Best in the series I think.

Yeah, I'd say so, save for probably the Scarab explosions in Halo 3. One thing Reach absolutely nailed was : the Covenant environments. I was so sad when we got nothing even close to this in Halo 4 - these types of levels were always so amazing to me. The Truth and Reconciliation. High Charity. Long Night of Solace. Here's hoping that look comes back in the next game, even crazier than in Reach. I think I'm going to go play T&R now, I can't remember how good it looks in CE:A.

 

[Karl2177]

I'm curious if my teammates know that you can shoot and aim at the same time.

 

[DeadNames]

I didn't like Reach's middle-eastern sounding OST. Felt a bit out of place to be honest.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Haha, thanks everyone. I feel slightly better.

What?

I honestly was just listening to the Beta music 5 minutes ago, and it sounds wonderful. Even the final OST sounds amazing.

Am i the only one that doesnt like Halo 4's OST?

I dunno. Halo 1-3 felt more like Halo music to me. ODST was a bit Halo, but a bit more jazz fusion I guess. Was a neat mixture. Reach's felt... overdone, for lack of a better word.

There are some nice tracks, but for the most part it's not too good.

ODST's soundtrack was just god tier. Best Halo soundtrack by far.

lol what the fuck

 

[Karl2177]

Are the weapon spawns on Abandon Dubs every minute? Was just playing Slayer Pro and got the sniper at the start of the game. About 1:10-1:15 from me picking it up, I get sniped.

Pretty certain that both snipe and railgun are on 2 minute timers.

Hmm, I think Reach's soundtrack wasn't that great to listen to outside of the game, but as far as atmosphere is concerned, it does a really good job at making you feel like you're on another planet. The colours and sounds are all just a little alien and far-off sounding, which contributed to the mood they were trying to go for. "From the beginning you know the end" type deal. The main theme percussion is kick-ass, though.

I loved the music played in New Alexandria (especially the night sections), Long Night of Solace, and Pillar of Autumn. The skyboxes and set-pieces in the game are just beautiful, and the "almost" Halo sound really added to that. Made the whole game feel somewhat sad and mysterious, despite what it was.

Happy Birthday Halo!
