I made myself stop drinking soda after figuring out how truly bad it is for you. Seriously, smoke cigarettes before you drink soda with every meal. My teacher used to drink about 20 diet cokes a day....yea, its fine because its diet.
I cant stop having dreams about halo 4. I keep waking up thinking its out already, and im so letdown everytime. So i guess im like team downer in one sense or another.
I usually grab either a Peps or a Mountian Dew when I get lunch on campus, so I'll have no problem getting plenty of XP by switching exclusively to Mountain Dew.
It's a terrible plan and I kind of feel bad for doing it but whatever, plus I'll end up giving away a bunch of codes.

Thats a good question, a comprehensive overview of all the pieces would be great
I would really like to make a chart of all the pieces dimensions
2x2 Tall = 2 x 2 x 3
Wall Coliseum = 10 x 12 x ~.5
Something like that, idk if there is like "a guy" who already does that, and someone might beat me to it, but that would be fun
DewXP math edit incase missed
Me said:
Only a matter of time really. Much of the sizing stuff comes when you play with Forge. Maybe we can get some kind of Spreadsheet sorted so we can link to for the dimensions etc.

I know, thats what I mean
?
most of them are obviously reskinned pieces from Reach
(with fixed geometry, fingers crossed!)
but it could help non forgers
example
how big do you think a 2x2 tall is?
if you werent a forger, would you guess its 3 units tall?

I didn't want to be one to say it. Thank you Master Tashi.
"Kick his ass" is #2? Are we counting from best to worst?
I would think that maybe 1 unit = 1 player character tall?
Yup, if we can get a shots of each piece, then that would help. I remember for Reach a SketchUp set appeared for all the Forge pieces. That came in handy before release.

Went on a gamefuel hunt. No luck. I ended up seeing a bottle of mountain dew and code red at the gas station with Halo printed on it so I grabbed one of each. I forgot how disgusting code red is. Halo 5 needs to have Coke XP.

Hey HaloGaf, there's these guys on Reddit doing a charity event "Race to Skill level 50 Marathon"..... and they are claiming that there is a skill-based ranking system.
Here's the link: http://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/11mq0f/halo_4_race_to_skill_level_50_marathon_for/
Scale of 1-10... how many bologna sandwiches do these guys eat every day?
EDIT: Though I applaud their cause.

Halo_SemiPro_Charity said:Hey Halo fans, we've got a treat for you. You WILL enjoy this! and all proceeds will be donated to: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
We have raised $500 dollars, through various channels, and now would like Reddit to get involved. Thanks for your time, and please, Mods, let us know how you would like us to verify our charitable donation.
Gametype: TBA [Ideally Double Team, but perhaps Slayer if that is the only playlist available]
Goal: Be the first to reach the maximum SKILL rank in Halo 4. TWO Self-proclaimed "Semi-Pros" (self-proclaimed, as our life circumstances, graduate school/professional musician, were more important than a gaming career, although we spend more time gaming than is healthy) will be setting up a live feed marathon race to level 50.
Info on the participants: We would like to remain anonymous, however; there will be a livefeed set up on ustream.tv showing both screens - for your viewing pleasure.
Halo 2 Highlights:
We played Halo 2 with various pros, including Final Boss. We beat Ogre 1 / Ogre 2 in doubles more than they have beaten us [not in tournament play, in casual play]
Double Team Halo 3 Highlights:
In Halo 3, we were level 50 in doubles within 24 hours! and have associations with Str8 Rippon.
Additional Info:
We will begin the livefeed as close to midnight as possible and play until we can no longer function/fall asleep at the controller.. there will be audio.. and you'll DEFINITELY enjoy it - Guaranteed

Dude chill its just NeoGaf.
Yes.
Keep it up. I'm enjoying it.I keep finding awesome Reach art I feel compelled to share with you all.
I miss him in the Halo games.
Robo Ghost Johnson makes a comeback in Halo 4.
Thank you, those were very nice to read.
What if he is the Ancient Evil?

Yeah, I approach it in a very similar fashion. Pick a shape, pick a gametype or two, and get busy.Agreed. I've found Pentagons and Hexagons to be fun to play with. I typically take one and duplicate/overlap/rotate in order to get some inspiration and start picking and choosing walls/paths based on the result. Loads of fun.
Right, I've got about half a dozen blocked out designs that I never went forward with in Reach for a variety of reasons. Looking forward to getting back in the Forge groove again.
A comprehensive list of all forge pieces with accompanying photos would be wonderful. Adding the dimensions of each piece would be even better!
I always wondered, are we HaloGAFers? I've seen a number of people use "HaloGAFfer" and that extra "f" bugs me for no reason.

Where is this from, and are there any more? It's great.
Is she doing that dance Uma Thurman does in Pulp Fiction? (The one where she grabs her nose and acts like she's diving underwater.)

Sadly yes... my posting finger was antsy and decided to subconsciously hit Submit Reply prior to waiting for a response. It isn't like it happens often.
Definitely. Having regular playtesting is something I've been doing for years and I'm down for joining up if you guys plan on continuing them. Doesn't Dani run ForgeGAF customs typically? That is definitely something I can add to the OT if we have a regular scheduled time.
If you want to make a chart I'm totally down for adding it to the planned resource section. I plan on adding in things like level design resources like Carney's Crash Course in a list for people who want to take a look at them.
Right now I'm looking at:
- Controls
- Ongoing and Single Occurrence Events
- Resources
- Communities
- Perhaps a short blurb on the Community Cartographers (once we get more info on how things are going to be run in Halo 4)
- The Gamespot Videos as a sort of "introduction"
- A way to find all HaloGAF maps (like through a tagging system... depends on what's implemented)

Seems to already be a very popular idea. I'd be down for it, but I doubt we would have enough room in a single post to cover it all. Perhaps placing it somewhere and keeping it in the resource section would be the best solution. Especially considering how many pieces there are.
Definitely another resource. So perhaps split resources into Technical Resources and Design Resources? Technical covering how-tos on forging like performance, budget, piece compilation, gametype creation guides, forging map walkthroughs, forging tricks, etc. And the Design Resources being stuff like Carney's Crash Course, Quake Competitive Level Design, The Forge Lessons, etc.
I'm pretty sure it's in a rework of 117, haven't found the actual track yet though. It'll probably be in the 7 minute "soundtrack edit"
edit:
you can kind of hear it 2 minutes into this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCMhGdX_EuY but there's a moment in-game where it's much more pronounced (you won't be able to miss it)
Might want to look into a google form solution for that. I created one for my Planetside 2 Beta op. There's lots of options for adding written and standardised information, and it can all be formatted and sorted easily in the spreadsheet output. I believe you can also allow user editing if people submit their thing via a google account.
Sounds good. Would be nice if 343 can give us the info on the Forge stuff on their side. Any chances of porting over Reach maps? How many slots do we get? Any Halo Pro? Can I have more than 14 Man-cannons so I can finally finish Q3DM17?
Nice.
Also to my fellow German Gaffers: I don't know if you know it already but there will be Launch Events in Hamburg, Berlin and Frankfurt, but you have to be invited to them.
damn you are right, I also forgot it.
I wonder if Jess will write something about the leaks
