Sounds like a good time, on both counts.

Is there any place to find those Halo 2&3 Custom Games?
This is where Halo shines imo, in its creative Custom Games. A CGB is needed.
This is what I had in mind. If I'm going to be playing Halo 2 or 3, I want to play FUN shit, not zzznoozefest competitive gametypes.

Maybe it would actually work this time without kicking half the party all over the place.
Anything but HCE CTF on Bloodgulch.

Hey Halogaf.
I have the classic Cat n Mouse gametype set up for OG Halo 2, as well as a custom map and gametype taking advantage of the H2A forge and civilian warthog. The game and map variants appear in my file share, both named as "Tom & Jerry =H2A=".
Also, the first version of my (hopefully) MLG compliant map is complete! I named it "Tremblor Court" after all, for various reasons, it fits. "Tremblor Court" is also available in my file share.
EDIT: Wow, we can upload Halo 2 classic gametypes to our file share! I just added the Tom & Jerry classic honor gametype to my list. Pilfer at will.
EDIT EDIT: Am I going to get banned for this?

I really hope we see English speaking Covenant again.
Especially the Grunts. They added a nice comic relief to the game. Trying to make them scary or dark or whatever is not only misguided but also a lost cause. There is nothing intimidating about them no matter how much lizard skin you put on them. Why do alien races all have to be ominous and dark?

So almost a year ago marks me getting fired and walked out of the building. I got a much better job with my awesome but essentially traded tall and pasty boss for the female Didact with more twinkie. A lot more twinkie. So I quit.

My point wasn't that this trailer is what I wanted. Just that you seemed glad we didn't get a trailer, it's not as cool as this podcast etc. Of course we'll get the E3 trailer, plus a live action commercial. Just saying that a trailer will get me more hyped than this ARG or audio clip stuff would.
The answers you seek lie in your dreams
Cue pages of in depth discussions on lucid dreams and questions regarding childhood
Only thing better is succeeding in a last ditch capture with a minute to go this winning a neck and neck game
Actually I might have to take this back to some extent. It seems like the bloom is roughly the same in strong cases, but when the luminance is on the boundary, MCC's brightness curves might be pushing things up a bit prior to post, resulting in a bit of bloom where there'd otherwise be close to none. Or something.
(See green lights on assault rifle on dude to the right.)
Speaking of which, the histogram for this comparison...
If the HBO cutscene library's captures were "correct" for both versions, that's the difference between new and original for this particular moment (original on left).
tl;dr:
That aforementioned BTB CE match

2 of our guys survived the assault and were able to walk out with a 2nd flag score followup. That was my first Timberland game. It was pretty fun
Bonus clip from H2C Relic one bomb. Thank god he aimed straight ahead...

I would try to participate... realistically probably not 'til this summer, when I am no longer dying of academia.
Then I may start posting in here again.

I hope the trailer teases game content too. Like new weapons stowed slightly out of sight.
I don't think I've ever seen him post here, but I can buy that he is the watcher. I remember him from BNet, I think he was a forum ninja?

Pretty sure most of those Halo 3 gametypes won't work without forge being fixed first.
It really sucks that we have to hope this happens.

hmm.... IIRC, they did a PWL gamma with the 2nd exposure/lighting buffer, so maybe that wasn't emulated properly. On a side note, the 7.5 stops alone seemingly wasn't enough to hide all the banding on 360, and I think they relied on the bloom to hide some of that in the end.

Troy is a must. I think it was my favorite custom game in Halo 2.

Kinda Off topic but Bloodborne have Latinamerican voices, FULL latinamerican voices compared to Destiny spain voices (English by default)

I think Halo 1 (PC) 2-Flag CTF BTB stalemates are my absolute favorite Halo memory. Blood Gulch, Sidewinder, Gephyrophobia. Those were the days.

Would be cool if 343 could tell us something about the April Patch...
A bit more transparency is all i want. What happened to the weekly written Bulletins?

I would prefer Frankie telling us things about the HCS Quickscope league #Kappa
I just want ranks and fixed gametypes in the playlists as for now
Imagine good gametyped and ranks Halo 3 playlist? Dang.
Also Not only patch ranks in.. how about rank matching. Sick of playing against 50s as a 12 in H2A lol.

The general Trueskill system needs to be back from Halo 3. In a improved Version of course. Its really getting annoying in MCC. Its impossible to carry two guests that play -20 together.
5 of 5 Matches and 3 matches if this are a dong fest. Easy win 50 to 15 or whatever. Thats not fun to me. And probably not fun for the people that you play against.
Damn, some of the spawns on the H2A maps are awful. So much spawn trapping.
I kind of agree, it definitely feels a bit weird to me as well. The only reason I'm playing it over H2C is because I've been watching the pros scrim recently.
I bloody hate the nades though, mini nukes they are...
That's actually one of the things I thought I would really dislike about 4 but actually kinda makes a bit better. Nade spam (imo) is a pretty big issue in Halo. Although having a perk to allow grenade looting was stupid.
Combine the ridiculous amount of grenades you get in H2A, with their ridiculous power and grenade hit markers and you have a recipe for misery.

H2A in general is awful to me. It feels weird, hit detection is weird etc... List goes on and on for me.

I liked in the Halo 5 Beta that there was no Friendly Fire. Feels good not getting betrayed for a Power Weapon etc.
Halo 3 and CE are my favorites. No Hitscan feels so much better and satisfying.
Yeah never thought I would think that way, but after playing a lot on 60 fps I think Hitscan is too easy. Or drop the aim assist. Halo 5 felt pretty good.
