OT, but any Jurassic Park fans here? Some new concept art from a canceled attempt at JP4 just popped up:

I know this was a couple pages back but I wanted to post this anyway haha.

I joined GAF like a year ago I think, but I've been reading since 07/08. I was a member on Gameinformer's forums and two of the members there posted here during the Halo 3 days. Apocalidiot and Prvt Pegleg(I think his name here was HugBasket iirc). They used to talk about this thread a lot so I started reading it from then on. I'm sure if any of you remember them you'll have some stories haha. I was too involved in the GI forums to join but I read this every day from that time until I joined. I remember all the old AR vs. BR debates that came up every other day haha. I do wish I joined earlier when I was still in high-school and had time to post more and play online because life now often prevents that from happening.
 
I wish buck was a s4
I would like to see 343 further explore Buck and the Rookie as characters.

One thing I wish I could retcon is Noble 6's death. They should have had a western style ride into the sunset on a hog ending so that the character could reaper later in the series.

Embarrassing and potentially stupid question incoming...

I have Halo 3 and Reach, but have only played 3 (which was years ago) and haven't touched Reach. Which would be better to practice up on before 4 releases?
Play Reach, it's closer to the style of gameplay in Halo 4 with the armor abilities and sprint sprint sprint sprint.
 
If I were seriously considering it, I'd probably roll with President Johnson because he reminds me of the Didact for whatever reason.

He was a dick, but the dude was a political mastermind.
I'm not a huge fan of his policies but his career is certainly impressive. But you should,
Do it Dax.
LBJ would totally use a propipe.


I kind of want to see a J. Edgar Hoover, Nixon, and Kennedy avatar as well.

So that minute and half of where both teams had each other's flags and couldn't score till one was returned, that was insane.

Too bad that won't be able to happen in halo 4 because you can't drop the flag...

On a positive or less negative note, wouldn't it be kinda cool if the flag carrier could wield a dmr or br in halo 4 instead of a pistol? I mean you already can't throw grenades, use sprint or equipment or drop the flag. Seems you might as well be able to defend yourself with a good gun you know?

How about they act like the game Reach never happend and all the Spartans made it out alive. Give them their own mission and integrate it into Spartan Ops.

Minute and a half? Felt like 5 lol.
 
Hey Barlow!

That is an amazing avatar lol.

Im going to play Halo 3 a lot before the release of the game. The BR, no bloom, movement etc all feel closer to Halo 4 than Reach does.
 
Someone from UK gaf needs to do the Thatcher one.

Perhaps Bobs? Or Henery?

Hell, everyone on this forum should have political-Halo avatars.

All about gordan "some bigoted woman" brown.

youtube.com/watch?v=C3F_ly9xSqQ

Maybe a grunt methane mask to go with the earphones lol.
 
My pre-order bonus perk lets me finish my speeches even after I've been shot! It's totally balanced.

Someone needs to do Andrew Johnson with a Gravity Hammer.
 
You gotta take the bad with the good.

Kill Kat. Explain the unexplained tension between George and Emile. Give Jun and Carter personalities.... Eh, leave them dead.

6 had more personality than the rest of them and he hardly said anything.

Teddy with sword! Nice!

I will not have Tatcher in my avatar.

In fact I cant think of a single British politicion I would want to support in my avatar. I actually wouldn't do it unless I was doing it ironically - Nick Clegg in armour lock would be funny.

I do need a new avatar, im pretty sure whoever designed the cover for The Hunger Games copied it :p - im worried that it would be associated with that.
 
Is there any word on whether or not Nathan Fillion did any voice acting for H4?

Asked him on Twitter and I got no reply, Id imagine we would know by now.

Hopefully he return.

If the S4's are just hand picked best of the best I see little reason for an ODST leader who virtually held back the entire invading covenant at mombasa to not be chosen.

Can someone photoshop Bill Clinton with the propipe for me? Because that one at least makes sense.

But forreal, I'd be really appreciative.

That was my biggest gripe about Reach, those characters had so much potential, but were wasted. We spent too little time with them to even care about 'em.

Somebody make me a Bill Clinton avatar out of this:
Give him a BR or Propipe.

You're about 2 posts too late.

Which ever president you do make sure he has the popcorn.

It would be cool if in theater mode there were pre determined camera lines. Like a swooping curve that you could make large or small. Then you press play and the camera follows the line while you capture. You could all kinds of tweakable shapes and lines.
 
Finally got that silly "Totally Worth It" achievement on Reach. Double kill from the grave. I was playing Slayer DMRs on Pulse, some forge map, and I got caught by two guys in a corner. All I had was a shotgun and they were out of range, so I knew i was going to die. Tossed a nade, thought I might take one with me, it stuck one guy and he went running after the other one so they both blew up after I died.

It was totally worth it.

I suck at puns

I'm pretty good at them, not to brag or anything.
 
Hmm, I think I found a suitably ridiculous political picture that I could use -

Yes, that was a real Time magazine cover. *head in hands*

It would definitely be a missed opportunity that's for sure. The whole ODST cast was so awesome.

Holy shit Instinct came back to win the AGL finals. Ogre_2 = GOAT (and I heard his brother has been playing in Australia?)

Damn instinct just won after being down two games... That was arguably better than Columbus..

Arguably better than anything in MLG since the mid Halo 3 days when they were still doing the ESPN Top Ten Halo 3 Plays (I still miss Puckett commentating).

GGs. That was awesome.

Snipedown with some severe positioning issues in that game. Waiting for Ola in Sword, sitting their S2, challenging Roy on their training.

I really hope they've actually improved Theater.

That last AGL match was intense, I was certain Elite 4 would take when they made the push towards the end. Crazy.
