Support NeoGAF

[Karl2177]

Sp someone posted an idea about some kind of HaloGAF leaderboaeds where you could easilly compare stats and things like that, adding specific rewards and medals would be really cool imo so I decided to make some templates in case the idea fully develops in the future.

There're 37 different medals for now, I'm also working on some weapon specific plates but they're not done yet. You can see them all bellow or following this link.

And a bigger view here:

I was giving percentages on headshot stats and I'm working on K:A, W:L, and time played. It's somewhat a pain to get all of these at the moment, but I'm still for the idea. I don't know how medals would work with a leaderboard, but I like the outlines you have there. I'm gonna recommend using something other than photobucket, as they like to set max sizes on images unless you're a pro user.

Did you ever post the full stats on sniper headshots and such, last time I read you were at the Ms.

 

[Hypertrooper]

Anything you think is interesting or entertaining.

We should shoot some real life stuff and edit it in the middle. Then it won't be entertaining anymore.

 

[Devolution]

That's one of the reasons I'm not putting a limit on the number of submissions - lets me have a bigger pool to draw from for wider variety.

::thumbs up::

 

[HigherLevel]

Playing a game like Bulletstorm which was highly praised on Gaf but has poor gunplay makes you appreciate Halo even more. No FPS can touch Halo's gunplay IMO.

Heh, no. No no no.

(But if we want to shoot some stuff at PAX East for a goofy side project that would be cool. I'm really excited about this new camcorder I have; I'm going to try recording everything Halo-related at PAX if possible.)

 

[blamite]

Ooh, montage time? Sounds great, I'll see if I can find any clips of me actually playing decently. I really liked watching the Halo 3 montage, so it'll be cool to be in this one.

How to submit:
- Send me a PM on GAF with a link to your submission.
- Email me a link, or even send me the file if it’s small enough. (ncsuDuncan@gmail.com)
- Submit a link in the form below.

Duncan, do I need to do all three, or would just filling out the form on Halogaf.com be enough? I don't want to spam you with links in three different places if I don't have to.

 

[Tashi]

Tashii's out.

lol damn. I can't catch a fuckin break

 

[HiredN00bs]

Implying than anyone on here gets overkills.

As if!

 

[Domino Theory]

lol damn. I can't catch a fuckin break

Or an overkill.

 

[ncsuDuncan]

Duncan, do I need to do all three, or would just filling out the form on Halogaf.com be enough? I don't want to spam you with links in three different places if I don't have to.

Any one of those is sufficient. They're equally convenient to me, so whichever one works best for you.

 

[VivaciousJazzy]

As if!

eww.

 

[Karl2177]

I have everyone now. On 2/25/2012 with 3450 competitive games played, you had 3766 Sniper Kills with 2029 of them being headshots. This means your snipe headshot percentage was around 54%. You had a combined total of 24474 headshot capable weapon kills with 16511 headshots. This is 67.4% finishing percentage.

HaloGAF has a total of 246426 sniper kills, with just under 60% being headshots(147489). For the other headshot weapons HaloGAF has accumulated 1412409 kills and 1093145 headshots. (77.4%)

EDIT: Duncan, do you mind if I send you the current Excel sheet with these stats to upload to HaloGAF.com?

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

As if!

AR and Jet pack?

Good troll or greatest troll?

 

[Gabotron ES]

I'll rehost them on imgur later. Does anyone know where can I find big size pics if Reach's medals? Maybe someone at 343 can throw me some links, I remember some high res pics being posted in a BWU.

 

[Tashi]

Or an overkill.

:lol I hate you all

 

[El_Chino]

I think we've been spoiled with the amount of information we've received from previous Halo releases after they were announced i.e. Halo 3 ODST and even more with Halo Reach.

 

[TheOddOne]

Firefight with zombie speed is retarted and fun at the same time.

 

[Ramirez]

Nice, you should compile all of those stats on the HaloGAF website.

 

[The Real Napsta]

The MLG v7 Gametypes are up in the MLG Gametypes file share

[Hypertrooper]

Heh, no. No no no.

(But if we want to shoot some stuff at PAX East for a goofy side project that would be cool. I'm really excited about this new camcorder I have; I'm going to try recording everything Halo-related at PAX if possible.)

I'm in.

Having some leaderboards posted on HaloGAF.com would be awesome... Though probably a lot of work, especially seeing as the API will no longer work in a month or so. :/

 

[Steelyuhas]

Game Types
1. Capture the Flag – Countdown
2. Capture the Flag – The Pit
3. Capture the Flag – Sanctuary
4. Capture the Flag – Zealot
5. King of the Hill – Battle Canyon
6. King of the Hill – Nexus
7. Team Slayer – Battle Canyon
8. Team Slayer – Countdown
9. Team Slayer – Penance
10. Team Slayer – Sanctuary
11. Team Slayer – Zealot

Nexus King over Powerhouse King.

Shameful.

Other than that, it's a good list I think.

Full details about the new settings

 

[GrimBrother One]

343i is an amazing art team. Let them create something special. Only green will look terrible. Otherwise green will always look terrible.(Except it is metallic green)

I have the Reach console, and I just know I'll end up getting the Halo 4 one (assuming they make one). Not that I need it... I just have a problem.

EDIT: On a side note, that glossy white console sure is pretty. Very clean, like a white Viper or Aston Martin.

 

[CyReN]

[Garrett 2U]

I was really hoping for powerhouse king over nexus :/

Penance came as a surprise too, never played that MLG map variant, any impressions?
I am not too fond of vanilla Penance..

 

[Fracas]

You know, maybe I'll give this MLG thing a shot. Should I even bother going into the playlist alone, or would I get destroyed?

 

[Karl2177]

The program I wrote to collect these stats stopped working(for no reason) when I got to Gui. Everyone after him on the list, I went to their page on bungie.net and copied it down. Personally, I would do an update stats form, but i have no idea how it would really work. Then to top it off, who would actually update their stats and who would put in 5 billion DMR kills?

 

[GrimBrother One]

Was thinking the same damn thing.

 

[thezerofire]

Most of the time you'll get worked, but you can get some good games. Whether you lose hard or not, the settings are much more fun.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

MLG would be a fantastic playlist if it had a larger population so you either didn't get matched up with pros, or some foreign aid worker playing off of his hamster powered xbox, with his tin can and string internet, playing out of Papua New Guinea.

You'll be fine.

Damnation has been a competitive scene favorite for a long time.

I'm hoping for party restrictions to be entered into the playlist when 343 updates the settings. With party restrictions and these settings, I could get into the MLG playlist. Not trying to go into the playlist and get wasted by teams of 4 all day though.

343 have party restrictions in Team Objective and Anny Classic, so I think they should add them to the MLG playlist. Not to throw that in there lap though, as I'm pretty sure it's MLG's call. I think Jeremiah said back when the playlist was created that they offered to have party restrictions in the playlist, but MLG turned it down because of a concern with search times.

 

[Fracas]

To be honest, getting matched up with insanely good, coordinated teams is what keeps me out of a few playlists. I vastly prefer objective over slayer, but everytime I go in the Team Objective playlist, I'm matched up against a team full of really good players, while my side is comprised of herping, derping, horrible randoms. Same thing in the beta and squad DLC playlists. The handful of times I dabbled in the MLG playlist, I got the exact same result. Then again, I'd assume that's more of a mishap on Trueskill's part, though.

Spoiler

lol I need to get better at Halo, don't I

 

[Tashi]

Disappointed. Don't want Nexus King anymore. And no CTF Beaver Creek? Wtf that's a classic gametype.

 

[Booshka]

I've heard these things never Red Ring.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

No, but sometimes they eat their Zunes.

 

[VivaciousJazzy]

you jinxed it tashi

I wish MLG would work harder to get things into playlist updates...

 

[thezerofire]

No, but sometimes they eat their Zunes.

Hey, the zune was a quality product

 

[Oozer3993]

I got the perfect clip for the montage: a Killtacular with an AR. It's a thing of beauty. I sprayed, then I prayed, and lo, from the heavens, God answered.

P.S. Duncan, if you need some music, all 247 of my Taylor Swift songs are at your disposal

 

[wwm0nkey]

Hey, the zune was a quality product

Zune HD is god like, sucks Microsoft didn't market it

Also any word on potential Spring Showcase news?

 

[Garrett 2U]

Damnation has been a competitive scene favorite for a long time.

Well that doesn't mean it will work with Halo Reach, a vastly different game than CE!

you jinxed it tashi

Damnit MLG, you almost had it perfect.

 

[Booshka]

haha touche. I got a used 8gig mini for like $50 bucks though and it was great. The biggest problem with the zune is that the touch pad thing looked circular, so people assumed it worked the same as the ipod's one.

I love all my Zunes. They're the best.

 

[Fracas]

Found some cool(ish) things for the montage, I'll pm you tonight Duncan. A couple Killtrocities in Slayer and Swat, and a great moment in BTB where we got a bunch of randoms to just teabag with us in a group, all 8 of us lol.

 

[Booshka]

Whenever I click on something on the dashboard that starts to load the Zune Marketplace I start to panic and immediately try to dashboard back out of it. I hate loading that shit.

 

[Tashi]

Still use my OG 30gb Zune. Love it. Gonna get a Zune HD soon.

And yea Cyren and Risen already spoke to David about the MLG playlist so we knew it was coming in April. Major letdown.

Edit: My avatar is a picture that was loaded with the Halo 3 Zune.

 

[KidA Seven]

Why can't MLG ever have more than 6 different maps? Not every map needs both slayer and objective. Find a way to fit in 7 maps or something.

And no Beaver CTF? wtf

 

[Steelyuhas]

Shouldn't get matched against full teams in Team Objective anymore, it has party restrictions.
