Max Obermann. His company, Certain Affinity, is working on the multiplayer for Doom.

Hoberman.

Hoberman.

I thought it was Olbermann

Hoberman.

What he said.

My bad.

What's wrong with Spartan charge? I've been watching another stream and haven't seen anyone use it

it's not a OHK so i don't think it's any different than melee lunge has been in the past.

 

[Sikamikanico]

Spartan Charge, why? Isn't it only a OHK from the back?

What's wrong with Spartan charge? I've been watching another stream and haven't seen anyone use it

Probably just had a bad game, but one team just charged into you constantly, with one guy behind mopping up the headshot before I could react. I'm probably just old and slow.

 

[Blue Ninja]

Is that significantly different from a regular melee though? Does the lunge/push-back make a huge difference? Isn't it possible to hear them sprinting so you can anticipate it?

I haven't experienced it myself, just relating what Sika told me when we were playing it together. I saw the teams doing it, but I could avoid them for the most part.

The difference between a Spartan Charge and a Melee is the knockback, though. Getting charged will push you away and completely disorient you.

I wouldn't really call it problematic, it can just get annoying when an entire team is doing it. Kinda funny too, though, some of them just tried charging you when they were still halfway across the map from you. Easy kills.

On a semi-related note, I love ground pound in this game. It's not too difficult to pull off, and so goddamn rewarding.

Ign are about to sync up the elite controller and give it a go in Halo 5.

Any Aussie streams out there. Hanging to check out dedis.

It's that girl with the annoying facecam streaming on twitch. Look it up

Any reason to get the digital deluxe edition if it is just cheaper to get digital and buy the separate warzone packs?

 

[SicSemperTyrannis]

I would hope it is those specific users dial up connections

Yeah me too

If dudebro shit = personality, Spartans should be robots.

The Spartan IIIs and IVs have already gone a long way in robbing Spartans of the badass mystique that used to define them. No need to rub it in by making them literally adopt the body language of frat boys.

I'm glad 343 listened to the feedback.

I don't know why 343 wasted their time with that part. A nice rotation of badass art works of battles and Spartans looking wrecked after a battle would be great. A picture has way more impact, can easily be changed, also fast. Hell, even a heat map like old Bungie.net would be something or if players took screenshots, they get shown after.

So is it possible to play Online on Saturday when i get a legit retail copy?

Likely that's the player's connection quality. Imagine someone playing and a family member or dorm roommate downloading or browsing on the same connection. Also today a ton of people will be streaming and playing the same time. Likely without QoS setup on their routers either.

*things look so much smoother than MCC overall though.


Also PSA: Close the stream chats there are asshats trying to post spoilers in them.

yeah that should narrow it down

Doesn't sound like it. Online is locked behind a whitelist of people allowed to play.

Seems like most people have no idea what the rules of SH are, lol.

Too late I already saw a big one

Tuesday seems so far away...

I love how over-the-top the melee ragdolls are.

And with the low numbers currently, you're probably also occasionally seeing some Euro/Aussie folks being thrown onto the American datacenters purely because there aren't enough local players for them to be matched with.

The Eden map looks incredible.
Can't wait for Wednesday ^.^

i got spoiled on instagram.

oh well. i'll forget about it by tuesday

 

[Vico]

Since we're talking about Certain Affinity, I do wonder if they're working again with 343i, on anything Halo 5-related. I mean, I guess so, because I don't think 343 can make that many maps (including DLC maps of course) by themselves, but we haven't heard anything about any collaboration, I think.

Bungie needs them more than 343.

Am glad 343's doing everything in house this time.

WHAT! Sorry to hear that lol, only 4 more days to hold out! Hopefully I don't get spoiled by then..

 

[nhlducks35]

So if I get the game now can I play MP?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

FUNKNOWN check your PMs

 

[Source]

So, no new maps are being played? Every map I've seen so far on the streams has already been revealed. Am I just unlucky or are there maps under lock yet?

 

[Twilight Gap]

it was a good spoiler at least lol.

That... That's bait.

 

[Munch Poke]

Think I got the update today. Game size is 54 gigs. That sound right?

 

[Glass]

Watching one guy, streamer dies and starts getting tea bagged by two enemies, a team mate comes in from off camera ground pounds them both killing them instantly. So good. Going to gif it later.

Yeah 54.8GB should be the size after the patch but check your console and ISP bandwidth as a lot of people are having issues of the bandwidth not actually reflecting the 9GB patch while the file size has changed.

 

[sir_dany12]

Anyone have images from the gamepad controls?

GIF it nao!

Hutch just hit Champion Rank 5 on his stream, admittedly isn't that crazy considering the small population. Still, I'm liking the new ranking system, from what I've seen at least. Aaaaaand he's hosting Jericho, stream switching time.

Lol. Did they show my quasi-clutch railgun for the win?

 

[Phloxy]

If true that is pretty shitty. I'm getting copies Saturday and I'm fully expecting to be able to play co-op and multiplayer.

All I know is that the Call of Duty style controls is called "Fishsticks".

In that one the slide is on RB?

Geddit? "COD" we kinda stole the idea from Medal of Honor which used to have Halo defaults as "Hail to the Chief." I like it when the industry is collegial.

 

[etta]

I think it's "hold B" while sprinting to slide.

 

[E92 M3]

Play FFA?

I like team slayer and don't want to always play super sweaty when without a team.

Now that is a cool factoid I didn't know.
