Halo |OT 20| It really does feel like Halo

Alright, Evolve has it, now Halo needs it.

Weapons reload when you switch them. Backpack reloading made into a default feature that's explained by "advanced technology." Literally, there's a tip in Evolve that says their tech is so advanced that they reload themselves when you switch to another. This is one of those small touches to help speed up the gameplay; all benefits with no downside IMO.

EDIT: You would need to have it switched for as long as it would take to reload it, otherwise you reset the timer if you switch back.

Funknown would you be in support of Halo: CE custom game night when MCC comes out? I was thinking of hosting a custom game night on the weekend when MCC goes live.

Have to agree. So I'm out of rocket ammo, switch back and forth and then I'm good to go again? No thank you.

You read my post wrong. FUNKNOWN is right again. The reload should only work if you hold the weapon in your backpack the same amount of time it would take to reload it normally.

Yup, but we need to play Hog Wars too ;] -- Everyone Camo, beatdowns and splatters only, spawn with PP/PR.

Balance. By the way, Evolve is really fun. Can't wait to play it more with friends.

Evolve is great with a good team of hunters. If you just spend the entire time running around the map looking for the monster then it kills you in two minutes that's quite boring. For both sides.

Isn't backpack reloading already in Halo? It's a staple tactic in Halo CE speedruns. Or is it disabled in multiplayer?

Hey if anyone is looking for LIVE codes I just got 12 months from cdkey for $36. Here's a link.

There's some weird photo ID confirmation but it sends a code quickly and it works.

So close to release I can feel it!
i'm FEELING *it* too if you know what I mean

wink ;-) ;-) wink

I mean that I'm excited, too.

Anyways, hope yall had a good haloween. I dressed as a cat (appropriate, I know) and had my first ever Popeye's po' boy, and it was good.
 
Morning HaloGAF. Saddened to see multiplayer achievements emerge from the mist to fuck up 343s winning streak.

Looking at them though, they're not *that* bad, so I guess in the grand scheme of things it's a small issue.

I will immediately experiment when the patch is out to see if they're obtainable in custom games.
 
just noticed there is a LASO achievement in MCC =( Completely deflates my desire to 100% MCC. I honestly dont have the time to put in to learn the all skulls runs unfortunately. Looks like my "100% the fps halo games" ends ヽ(▀̿◡▀̿ ̿) /

I guess its fine since i did the main 360 games.

Who's going to dive right in to CE MP when this launches?

Not me since I won't be around for the launch _| ̄|○

Once I get the game and a One (white naturally) I will probably marathon every campaign. Then I will jump into each multiplayer in order of oldest to newest.

I've never %100 a Halo achievement list. Now is my time.

CE multiplayer will be one of the first things i try out. I will also go through CE's campaign before the others, including 2A.

I've 100%'ed Halo 2, Halo 3, ODST and Reach. Don't think I'll bother with MCC. :lol

EDIT: Apparently I didn't finish the final Achievements for Reach's anniversary map pack.
 
I am so down for some ODST. When did you want to do it?

Pretty flexible really. Just got an exam in a week. I'm Australian time, but seldom awake Australian hours :p

I'm usually available/online in the hours leading up to 5am Australian time (8pm UK, 11am US West) and/or around 4pm Australian (5am UK, 10pm US West).

You in for ODST?

Pretty sure it does. Students/ people in general couldn't play Destiny because of NAT problems.

Sorry, should've been clearer. Azure (Thunderhead) dedis. Destiny runs on proprietary servers operated by Activision.

Check the last section in this Xbox Support article.

Going to make the speed run achievements easy, since the achievement doesn't apparently forbid using it.

Surely that will be fixed in time for launch if it hasn't been already. Or speed run times will say with/without skulls on.
Edit: Oh, you meant the achievements. Missed that. I thought you meant the speed running meta game.

Watching gravemind on legendary with the scarab skull on, it really doesn't make it much easier, in fact it makes some parts a lot harder.

I wouldn't care if they left achievements on for it, I probably won't even use it.
