I have nooooo clue what we'll be playing. I wasn't really organizing this, per se, just trying to help with scheduling. I'm down for anything. I imagine people are especially eager to get Defiant and Anniversary achievements done with.

My GT is kittens revolt. Holler at me and we'll figure it out.

I need to know which disc to put in, man! Will we be playing Anniversary or regular Reach?

When the hell did you change your GT?

I was wondering today how different enemies might play in Halo 4 if many of them were robotic, or less life like. Would I feel as threatened? I'm really hoping they wont have covenant equivalent. Like, oh its just the Halo 4 version of a grunt.

I miss halo :/

I just started playing Metroid Prime 3 a few weeks ago. It didn't feel like Metroid Prime 1 or Metroid Prime 2. Still I like the idea. (Would prefer "Halo"-like missions.)

Oh, absolutely, I was just referring to the atmosphere and feel of the Prime games; I would still want the same Halo-style missions to branch off from the hub world. ODST used flashbacks, but I'd rather they just be doorways, vehicles, teleporter pads... whatever. Then you'd beat the stage and come back to the hub and have to cross the ghostly terrain to the next objective.

I'm hoping that there's a shitload of forerunner enemies like sentinels, enforcers, etc. Halo Legends had some pretty badass-looking Forerunner machines;

This was supposed to appear in Halo 3 but was cut, it's a "Strato Sentinel" apparently;

The idea of stepping into the shoes of Master Chief, alone on a planet filled with crap like that thing hunting me as I make my way across a vast and impossibly ancient landscape like we've seen in the Concept Art trailer? The prospect of Halo 4 being like that makes me wet.

 

[Karl2177]

Xand and Over have been accepted. Mike Dongblain has been banned and Fyrewulff is still a junior. Today is an oddly hilarious day.

 

[VivaciousJazzy]

Streaming the achievement lobby. We're still in need of fine individuals.

 

[kittens]

I need to know which disc to put in, man! Will we be playing Anniversary or regular Reach?

Alright then, let's say Reach disc to start off with. Defiant and Noble included, of course.

 

[Overdoziz]

Get on, bitches.

Eh, I dunno, I really dont enjoy fighting too many robots, etc. I know we will definitely see some, but I really hope they are not the main fluff of the game.

 

[neoism]

Hopefully.

Nothing against Eazy, I'd just hate to see someone with an active account get banned for creating a joke alt.

Edit:

I just checked, nobody on the Gamertag list has been banned.

nevermind lol

 

[The Librarian]

Do I need that map pack that came with Anniversary to get the achievements for the Defiant maps?

 

[neoism]

Hi my name is Xand and I have been lurking here for way too long. I actually remember when Wilford Brimley and his beautiful stables were a topic of discussion.

I would have posted yesterday but I didn't want to admit I was accepted on the same day as Over because that is a stink that just won't wash off. I also didn't want Heckfu to off himself.

So here I am today just a boy, standing in front of Halogaf, asking it to love me.

What UP!

 

[neoism]

Invite me, man. What playlists will we be playing?

I'm game I've only unlock 1 since the maps came out so fuck get'em fareinsquare..

 

[Ramirez]

Is Rumble Pit still 100% vanilla?

 

[The Librarian]

I can't get the Defiant achievements even though I have the Defiant maps?

What a joke.

 

[FyreWulff]

I can't get the Defiant achievements even though I have the Defiant maps?

What a joke.

Because it made too much sense in Reach 1.0 that you could unlock achievements as long as you had the maps installed.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

I can't get the Defiant achievements even though I have the Defiant maps?

What a joke.

Map pack based achievements suck.

 

[Ramirez]

Just got sword blocked, so yes.

 

[Retro]

Eh, I dunno, I really dont enjoy fighting too many robots, etc. I know we will definitely see some, but I really hope they are not the main fluff of the game.

If there's plenty of variety in the robot types, I dunno that I would mind. The terminals in Anniversary imply that

Spoiler

the Didact and something called "Prometheans"

might make an appearance too, so in theory we could be fighting Forerunner robots AND

Spoiler

forerunners who have somehow managed to survive all these years

too.

This is also complete speculation and I haven't read the books, but I'm thinking the first chunk of Halo 4 is Chief and Cortana trying to access the Forerunner Planet's communications so they can call for help. The second half is after that help arrives

Spoiler

aboard the UNSC Infinity. Maybe their arrival somehow triggers something on the planet (since the Infinity uses Forerunner tech) and that lets loose a whole new series of baddies to fight (or the aforementioned Prometheans, whatever the hell they are).

I'd be okay not fighting the Covenant again, and definitely okay with never seeing the flood again. Both are great enemies and part of the Halo mythos, but at this point... I'm ready for something new to shoot at (would definitely be cool with the Covenant being allies though, that moment in Halo 3 where the Hunters show up and are on your side? Wicked)

[Tunavi]

Multiplayer achievements suck.

fixed

 

[Ramirez]

2 games of MLG, quitters on my team within seconds in one and in the lobby in the other, this game is worthless.

 

[Hitmonchan107]

If it wasn't for the Facebook group, I would've never known about Mike Dongblain.

Thread goes fast these days.

I just got my financial aid check. I should have Internet again this weekend. It's been nearly a month since I've played on Live outside of the office. :^(

I agree, but there is just something more interesting in fighting truly living, talking interacting creatures. I am sure we will be fighting some cool forerunner tech, but I hope there are also true enemies to fight..even if they are dangerous wildlife at times. Halo 4 has so much potential to do so much different.. Im excited.

 

[Gui_PT]

Sorry Neo, only had time for 1 game. Hope you guys got what you needed.

I 100% H3 and ODST before the launch of Reach, I don't think it's even possible to do Reach now..

I still need Master Thief in Shadowrun, I've played that game for like 2000 hours and I can't get it. Everybody knows all the sneaky flag routes now. I remember friends of mine were boosting achievements right when the game came out, and I chose not to join lol.

 

[FyreWulff]

I'll probably try to get back on to get the last stupid Anniversary ones, but at least I got all the stupid Defiant ones out of the way.

100% party with Defiant and we have to get a game 3 times before any variant of Condemned is offered is silly.

 

[neoism]

Sorry Neo, only had time for 1 game. Hope you guys got what you needed.

yep Thanks guys... one of the funniest nights with Reach in a long time..

<3

 

[wwm0nkey]

Im never going to 100% Reach. So many stupid achievements added.

Really hope 343i never puts MP achievements in again unless they are milestone achievements which I am fine with.
