RIP teabagging in Halo
2001-2012
I never thought of that. D-:

Also: classic Letters avatar!

I dont care about tbagging - but I would prefer having the freecam to look around and make callouts rather than having killcam.

Game winning killcam is an awesome addition though.

So do we have an inkling what the rules are for Slayer Pro?

I assume these are true:
DMR/BR Starts
No motion tracker
Default movement speed

These would be nice:
No Armor Abilities?
Can pickup grenades?
No kill cams?
No instant spawn?
No personal ordnance drops?
Locked spawns?
 
Oh no, I never considered what kill cams would do to teabagging until just now. I can deal with the other changes to the game, 343, but this is the last straw. Heading to GameStop now to cancel my preorder.

RIP Teabaggin

I'm excited about insta-spawns though, they worry me but they seem super satisfying.

People are going to rack up some crazy kill totals if they spawn camp with a tank.

Other than that I am excited for them in objective game types, flag defenders won't have to worry about the flag being too far away to stop and return it.

They're OK in theory until you watch gameplay of Big Team Infinity Slayer on Ragnarok and teams are literally dying, and then insta-spawning at the other base... So you grab the Mantis, die, insta-spawn right at the other Mantis... rinse, repeat...

Insta-spawns + completely random (ie: all over the map) spawning by both teams is going to be confusing as fuck.
 
Today, I finished The Covenant on Legendary Iron.

Again, another fantastic level, my jaw still drops at the dual scarab battle/landing.


A lot of these death were caused by us just messing around.

Also me and Myyke burst out laughing in regards to the way Truth was animated, like some creepy old guy in a robe.

Hey Dax, regarding feeling like you didn't really need AA's, wouldn't you see that changing once the game comes out and everyone is familiar with the game and AA's? I'm envisioning that once everyone gets their hands on the game and gets used to it and is using AA's, you would to pick it up as well in that regard, or at the very least maybe counter-pick enemy AA's? Great write-ups by the way.

Wait, does this have final killcams and I totally missed it in the livestreams I've seen?

Probably 4 of my top 5 most awesome/hilarious moments in CoD are amazing final killcam shenanigans that I can specifically recall in detail. That's great.

Shit I totally forgot about this...

Still works for objective games though. You just gotta spend more time teabagging.

One of my favorite things to do was whenever I got into one of those "1v1 me, bro" situations, I'd put the respawn timer at 3:00. Get a kill and teabag until they rage quit. If you don't get the first kill, they end up wandering around the map for three minutes.

Also, I thoroughly enjoy renaming race maps and gametypes "MLG Team Slayer V7.0" for those same situations.

Instant respawns are glorious, aslong as they won't be in objective types (CTF)
I believe this has already been confirmed (at least they've confirmed that instaspawns won't be in all playlists and gametypes).

'strue.

It's chock-full of triple kills.

Actually, I think I'll be starting off Halo 4 the right way. Catch my drift?

Here's an Irish lesson for you all!

"Tá sí" (said like Taw-She) means "she is".

And now you know. Now you know.

Frankie called me, "Tae-she" instead of "Tah-she" :/

I always use:
HaloGAF
HaloGaffers

I get annoyed by trying to figure out what works best so a lot of time I say, "HaloGAF members"
