Any gaffers willing to hold a spot for me in line for the Halo panel? I work a t-shirt booth an would be willing to compensate.

I also promise not to ask any questions that result in the crowd booing the panelists again this year.

ummmmmmm

props to moa for finding.

It was only a matter of time. At least it's not French.

 

[YourExWife]

Nothing wrong with any of that!

Just make sure you don't sign any Rolling Stones cover bands while enjoying the above.

 

[Navidson REC]

So the hidden file in the waypoint update is pretty interesting - I wonder if there have been any other hidden messages around the Waypoint website? I dont want to start a witchhunt, but with the recent update - if 343 wanted to throw in a easter egg, now is the time to do it.
I wonder if more codes will work on that anniversary terminal?

Huh, what's up with this? Could you elaborate, please?

 

[Beckx]

Do you think the story is interesting/good?

Disclaimer: I'm not a big "story" guy in games. For me the story is created by my actual play, the cutscenes and such are just setting (so, not surprising, the more intrusive the non-interactive storytelling, the more scripted, the less I enjoy it).* People say Journey had no story and I feel like I live on a different planet from them.

This is a world I want to play in. Yes, yes, there was some setup to get my guy into a bad spot. Getting him out of that spot is the story.

Whether the game's conventional story is better worse than typical AAA fare is not something I can really answer. What I can say is that it's proving to be a great place for me to tell my story.

*As general rules go, this is mine, but nothing is absolute. Some games exist solely to provide something akin to interactive fiction, like Heavy Rain, and I enjoyed that. And Mass Effect certainly has some wonderful cutscenes.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

I just finished Tsavo Highway in 4 player co-op.

The A.I. in H3 is still fantastic and surprising.

Near the end, there was a benny hill moment involving Over, AndyTheBlob, two choppers and two wraiths chasing each other across the broken bridge.

 

[kittens]

Do you think the story is interesting/good?

I only played about five hours, but YES. The story, characters, art design, and atmosphere were all awesome.

 

[Tha Robbertster]

The story isn't much (bear in mind I'm only a few hours in). However, the atmosphere is top notch. One of my favorite things, really. Art direction is fantastic as well.

I really enjoy a game with a good atmosphere. It's one of the main reasons why I loved Deus Ex so much. I enjoyed the story but the overall world really made the game for me. It's good to hear Dishonored also seems to have that.

You just want to bask in my Halo 3 campaign love. You poser, Elzar.

 

[Karl2177]

Nice!

We need to collect these pre-release remakes (or demakes, or as Flatulator said on twitter, premakes) into a single post once they're all finalized.

Premakes.

Wait. Wait. Wait. Are you "Will There Be Multiplayer" guy?

That can only mean you have a video to make!

Jesi li ti iz Bosne i Hercegowine?

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

Wait. Wait. Wait. Are you "Will There Be Multiplayer" guy?

No, I was the guy that asked what button was "analyze" in CEA since they kept saying you wouldn't need a Kinect for anything. Then they said you wouldn't be able to do it without a Kinect.

Then they said they didn't want to change the controls that we all knew and loved. Except the back button being the remaster switch. Good excuse, right?

I love posing.

I wish, Halo 3 campaign theatre is a headache.

The steelbook is kind of cool. Doesn't Futureshop in Canada have a steelbook too?

 

[zlatko]

Jesi li ti iz Bosne i Hercegowine?

Yes I am Bosnian. I can't write it at all though, but I can read it by sounding it out.

@Ihaveice

Yes that hoodie is aaaaawesome!

Ah, okay.

 

[blamite]

So, guests probably won't be able to use any loadouts other than the prebuilt map loadouts, or the default AR/Pistol/No AAs or Perks setup, right? Seems like that'd just make the problem of having guests on your team even worse...

 

[KdMgMan]

Alright HaloGAF! Show us, in one .gif or .jpg, the way you will feel when you finally have your copy of H4 in your hands.

This just in, Halo 4 is amazing

Oh.

 

[Orochinagis]

I just leave this here

 

[Wifiplayer13]

How do I obtain one?

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

I just leave this here

That looks like a pain to use, but I want it haha

 

[Beckx]

I just leave this here

Note: Pen comes with Blood and Violence.

Spoiler

I guess, the pen really is mightier then the sword...

Awwwww yeah.

And you had the gall to criticize my wit.

 

[Gabotron ES]

I just leave this here

Damm I want it!

 

[Gui_PT]

I also want free stuff

 

[ElzarTheBam]

[Reagan's BR]

I just asked if there were any other conservatives in OT...bad idea.

 

[Tashi]

You guys!

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Jesus, Elzar...

 

[Woorloog]

I guess, the pen really is mightier then the sword...

Awwwww yeah.

Hmm. I wonder, does the Covenant use Plasma Pens? I mean, they use plasma for various applications and other energy based things... so, why not Plasma Pens?

No horrible puns, please, we don't need the obvious ones.

 

[Rickenslacker]

You guys!

Find out if you can use the jump button for jetpacks. I need to be disappointed well in advance to the release.

 

[IHaveIce]

I guess, the pen really is mightier then the sword...

Awwwww yeah.

Terrible.

You guys!

Jelous. Hope you dong on some kids.

 

[Talents]

Want.

 

[Wifiplayer13]

Knowing that people are at Comic Con right now is killing me inside. I have to wait till Saturday. Really regretting not getting a 4 day pass now.

 

[Sotto Voce]

So I have managed to free up 12 spaces on my FL, in anticipation for H4. If you want on it, please send me a FR (same as my username).

The following people just made the 2012 cut:

OddOne, Robbert, Sotto, Xand and KittensDX.

What?! I've been enigmatically silent for months now, if that hasn't won you over, I'll try harder with more.

Spoiler

And ting.

 

[zlatko]

I don't even know how to order there lol.





Oh.

Yeah that's why I wasn't sure how it works. I believe you fill out the thing on the right for the item you want, they will email you the cost, etc, then you order.

[Tawpgun]

See if you can get an overkill on Halo 4.

That's how we tell if its broken or not.

Well, I have no idea how to buy anything from there, but I did just find out my promo Halo CEA keyring is in fact, a torch!

(A torch which, having just looked, fires light sideways. Erm...)

I just leave this here

Wily Microsoft. This might be the first time I'll actually pay full retail for XBL rather than obtaining a code from some online reseller in years.

I believe only retailers or event staff can order there Will try it though

 

[willow ve]

Probably my favorite entry yet.

Woah! I am overcome with emotion! No need to win Elzar over - talk more I am hanging on every word!

 

[zlatko]

Test my theory. Pick an item you want to buy, fill out that information they want on the right, and hope you get a call or email within 24 hours.

 

[Orochinagis]

How do I obtain one?

Im not sure but is still a preorder card from one of my retailers here in Mexico, They will send the cards at november 6.

EDIT:

Mantis MegaBlocks

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Huh, what's up with this? Could you elaborate, please?

If you highlight the text in the waypoint it shows hidden text - like a Oni file hidden away.
