At least at the end of the day you've still got a lovely lover who loves you enough to lovingly paint a lovely Impala with a lovely Chief helmet... of love.

I'll take a stab in the dark and align the MCC update beta release to us with the next public X1 monthly update release. Hey it seems logical. Here's the history of monthly update releases...speculate when the next one drops as you wish.

Work that "ninja'd" concept into the bedroom imo.
It's great to see they are actually sending our a survey so feedback isn't limited to waypoint. Will probably help a lot with tuning. I'd really love to see the voting results though. So curious.
Cherish dat love bro
Really though get some play with that. Teach her the ways of the Ninja.
It really is lovely
lol... you guys...
Thanks.

Hi Juniors.
Significant others belong in campaign.
Vehicles: Warthog, Gauss Hog, Ghost, Scorpion, Wraith, Mongoose, Mantis (controversial but I liked it), Banshee but without the goddamn fuel rod cannon. There needs to be a another flying vehicle, something that just has a pilot and a gunner. The Falcon was too hard to coordinate most of the time, and the Hornet just duplicated what the Banshee was (one-player).
Frags should be bouncy and never kill a full-health player in one hit.Dual-wielding was dumb, it's impossible to balance well. Health packs were dumb, health is just not a fun or interesting resource to manage.
A single-shot (not burst) precision utility weapon would be cool, but not in a crowded sandbox where there are eleven of them. More specifically...
Sandbox should be:
Standard:
Some spice in the form of quasi-power weapons that aren't quite power weapons, like the Railgun, Grenade Launcher, Bruteshot/Concussion Rifle, Sticky Det, or Focus Rifle. Pick a few and make them interesting instead of dominating. Heck, maybe even a powerful automatic that needs to be fired in bursts to be effective.
Power weapons:
Nothing that is basically duplicating the functionality of something else with a very simple adjustment ("twice as powerful but half the magazine size? Let's call them the Binary Rifle and Incineration Cannon! How creative we are!").
Ordnance drops are bad. Fall damage is bad. Descope is good. Assassinations are cool but for god's sake do not make them basically mandatory again. Give me a real choice between being showy and being sneaky.

- Automatic for thumbless scrublord BKs

- Plasma Pistol
- Shotgun
- Needler

Ideally Slayer and Objective would be one playlist but people wouldn't enjoy it and playing objective with random players can get frustrating when they treat every game as slayer. Keeping objective at the top would hopefully keep it populated.
I'd like the idea of once you get into 40 and above in ranking, Objective becomes a part of the MM gametypes to vote on, especially if you are searching as a To2-4.
Well I just went to Starbucks for the first time. Got a caramel Farp and a BUN.

Judging by your drink, you actually went to Storbucks, the underground Malaysian knockoff.
Campaign is fine because that can be paced more consciously by the designer. In multiplayer:... "Here's your reward for surviving that fight! Pick one: more easily lose the next fight, or wander around the map avoiding the real game to pick up a box so you can play again without a handicap." I don't find that at all fun, I'd rather get back into the action without some artifice that basically rewards you for just dying instead.

starbucks is not very good
Was kind of watery too...
What do you prefer Boosh?
That sounds like it would create a lovely aroma. And taste.

Yes. Don't stress about the organic, though. It'll still be the best coffee you've ever had.

Your point? Coffee is one of the most heavily sprayed crops with pesticides.

Don't forget to purchase a small Chilean boy to grind the beans in his teeth, but make sure you whip from the back so that he doesn't "accidentally" swallow them (obvs. he's going to be hungry after not letting him eat or drink for several days to get the right dry mouth). Hope just fucks with the aromatics, so watch out for that too.
I think I died laughing
Hmm... you make a good point.
While I do enjoy the intensity personally, I can see how it might be better to use regen health in multiplayer. I still prefer a health system though
Yeahhh... it's really not based on that Farp and bun...
It seems I'm off to get a French Press.
Good thing I just got paid. Do I need to grind my own beans?

It's the fanciest

Level of pesticide use has nothing to do with what is and is not organic.
And I was mostly poking fun at you saying that it "is chemicals."
Because so is everything else, you see.

For something to be qualified as USDA Organic. "Organic agriculture produces products using methods that preserve the environment and avoid most synthetic materials, such as pesticides and antibiotics. USDA organic standards describe how farmers grow crops and raise livestock and which materials they may use."
I'm not sure if you guys are just joking or actually misinformed.

Synthetic being the key word. They can marinate in pesticides and still qualify as organic. They just can't be synthetic pesticides.
And yes, non-synthetic pesticides are a thing.
Halo.
I considered making that joke, but then I was like "no way, that's way too pedantic."

I honesty thought the point of USDA Organic was an overall lower limit allowed of pesticide residue. I mean I am pretty sure they even describe that themselves. It is what we were originally arguing. But hey, I learned a little something from your link so thanks

You could, but I just grind mine at the store. I found a french press for like 15 dollars somewhere, and I like it. But I think that's because I'm a more of a tea drinker and its similar in prep more or less.
I should say I drink my coffee black for maximum laziness.

lol Thanks man I'll give it a shot.
I love tea but I can't drink straight black coffee. The first time I drank coffee was straight black... the bitterness...
What if I use a Halo themed French Press and slap a poorly drawn Master Chief helmet on my mug?
What's a Latte?
As in what is it like? Sweet? Creamy? Bitter?

Ouch. But. True.
I'm chomping at the bit across the board for my Xbox One Platform and by extension Halo. The Azure regional dedis are so tasty I salivate at the marketing push every time. MCC up until the recent solo Halo 4 playlist kills that at each turn, multiplayer wise. I truly hope H5 is completely built on a stable Azure platform with players receiving the power to toggle global or region specific.
Oh and a stable game including campaign and multiplayer plus even teams.
Fixing MCC with the new X1 platform integration would return my friends from Destiny, not permanently but they would have regular nights of Halo again. H5 will hopefully have it all highly functioning at launch.
