Halo |OT 20| It really does feel like Halo

H2A / H5 needs to have pre-game lobby chat on by default. Games were much more fun with trash talk and taunts before the game. And the obligatory "I call sniper"

Sadly in this day and age, yes.

I see a lot of games being showcased on twitch by people who have never even played the series before (not talking about this streamer, but others) and to me it seems like a waste of effort.

Except, more and more kids these days only look at YouTube and Twitch. I don't know who PewdiePie is, I've never watched his vids, and I only heard of him from GAF when someone said he made millions last year or something. And yet, my little cousins in the states watch his vids. Instead of me asking them whether they've heard of a game, they now tell me they've already seen their favorite streamers or YouTube casters have a let's play done and they know everything about the game.

The era of a journalist reviewing the game is declining for guys like us, and the era of fellow gamers just streaming, slurping, whatever is what's next. It seems as if you're affiliated with a blog or site, have your own channel and get decent reviews, you're considered some kind of gaming press and can stream or review things.

Well I stream and have a YouTube channel and am willing to slrp myself out for review copies, yet I didn't get one.

I must really be on Tashi's bad side.

Halo 4 looks so amazing from a technical standpoint. And ... The dedicated servers seem to be working very well.

I agree, but there are some random streamers with 50 viewers with early games, guess they asked and received without a problem.

Even if it's in you'll never see it used because everyone just uses party chat now anyways.

Halo competitive playlists shouldn't let you play in a party. I wish they would enforce a programming rule behind the scenes so it's just not possible. That way, casuals can casual it up in party chats and run around like boobs while people who want to play 4realz would have to communicate.

Yep communicate with players who don't speak English. No, just no.
And don't say "Press X to mute". People should be allowed to communicate in party chat if they want to.

I'm really excited for people who never got to play Halo 2 online. It's crazy to think that there are people who post in here who never played a match of CTF on Zanzibar over xbox live

Lower ranks might be a problem, but in higher ranks people are out of party chat anyways. I was in party chat when I boosted, that's about it

If you would like to play in the match send me a PM with your GT and relative skill level on a scale of 1-10 so that I can try to balance teams.

See you on the battlefield!

The majority of playlists should let you, but it would be great if the e-sports playlist and hardcore playlists warn the player "Warning: To reinforce proper communication between team members, the Xbox Live party chat features will be disabled in this playlist."

Counter Strike, while not being able to prevent talking over Skype/Team Speak or what have you, they really punish you if you quit and it warns you before you begin the game.

People want to win in ranked playlists should also be allowed to communicate with their teammates.

With Mix and my 3 that should be a full roster eh?

Should be good fun, I'll be rusty as will my friends but I assume most will be.

Is anybody gonna be streaming it?
Click to expand...


I'll be streaming the game and if anyone else streams try and stream without music so that I can take your saved film and create a youtube video with highlights.

Also, i would like to have some substitutes in case anyone backs out so keep sending me your GTs and skill levels and i'll add you to the list!

We have a full 16 but continue to sign up if you want to play. We will probably have a few drop out and will need backups!
