Wow, thanks for the offer dude. I'll have to seriously consider it.

That's real nice of you.

Yes it was nice of him. Very nice.

However, if you think for one second we were going to let you go without a copy of Halo 4 for any extended period of time, you're insane.

I would rob a gamestop for you Dani. I would walk 500 miles... and I would walk 500 more. Just to be the man that walks a thousand miles to bring Halo 4 to your door.


DA DA DAAA DA DA DAAA DA DA DAAA DA DA DAAAAAAA

WOWOWOWOOOOO HURRICANE PARTYYY!! WOOOO!!!


*back to work in Tx*

 

[Woorloog]

Oh, we will.

Did you expect me to ask if we'd play Derby?

 

[IHaveIce]

rockets spawn in the bottom of the ridiculous canyon, sniper spawns in the canyon behind the giant hill. getting those is the only reason to leave the giant hill/hallway area of the map

Ah okay good to know, but I hope I never have to play on it again.

As is Unconquered. Just terrible design and no flow whatsoever. Worse still? Ellul (also wins the prize for worst name).

Imago, as a map, I actually really like, but the spawns are so completely broken to the point of removing any potential fun in most games.

Don't even get me started on big team maps..........

Is Ellul the map with the grav lifts ? They never work properly and yes Unconquered is also really bad.

Yeah Imago is one of the better maps together with synapse.

lol Big Team .. Asphalt brr, CRAGMIRE

 

[CyReN]

I won't see it if he does.



Well let me link you to a video of some guy talking about porn then. Tips and tricks, if you know what I mean.

You should check out the guy that said they should remove the pile-driver for being over powered.

 

[Reagan's BR]

I am being objective; free-market economics is a better system than keynesian economics.

You know what I meant. I do agree with you though!

I don't usually like to hop in on the arguing over "OMG no visible skill is going to ruin the game" etc conversations, hence why my post count is rather low.



Speaking of which Barlow, you going to be playing tonight?

Maybe later on tonight around 10 Eastern.

 

[TheOddOne]

So it does. Just play it and hate it, then you don't need to think of it ever again.
No pain, no gain.

No idea what's the gain though.

I have three stages: 1) Thinking about playing Reach 2) Reminded of all the "wonderful" moments I had with the game and 3) I "accidentally" try to break my arm preventing me from playing.

I've come close to stage 3 about four times. So, in short Reach equals more emotional and physical pain for me.

Spoiler

2fort all day? Count me in. Maybe.

2fort is the worst thing that has happened to Halo. Ever.

 

[Reagan's BR]

2fort is the worst thing that has happened to Halo. Ever.

It is in second place behind Elzar.

Any official word on the Campaign films situation before i drop my megapost? All my research points back to posts here.

Also anyone know of any forge communities I might be missing for the Forge OT?

Forgehub [FH]
XForgery [XF]
Blueprint [BP]
Waypoint [WP]
The Halo Council [THC]
ReachingPerfection [RP]
Forge Cafe [FC]
MLG Forge Forum [MLGFF]

GrifballHUB Halo 4 Grifball Map forum for Grifball maps. I assume there will be slightly more traffic there now that Grifball is an official variant.

The next iteration of 2forts has been planned, will be there day 1 on halo 4.

Strap yourselves in boys.

2forts will be you and Andy - the boys are playing good stuff.

Well you can have Over and Robbert as well - their connection is far from Lekker.

[Raide]

I want an Unlockable weapon skin that is pure grey if I put in more than 100 hours into Forge.

Imago doesn't really have a middle area so it's pretty much a map divided by a wall in the middle. Not a fan.

Synapse is pretty much a bad version of Onslaught. One with less cover and a lot more open space which results in a lot more bad spawns. There's no no reason to push up into the enemy's side of the map.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

What is this 2fort?

Contrary to un-popular opinions, it is the best thing to happen to reach.

Also, you'll see tomorrow.

 

[HiredN00bs]

Awesome Barlow the latest member of HaloGAF to disappoint me.

Why don't we just bury the power lines--er, hatchet.

Me and Barlow are the only two conservatives on here.

False.

I'm noticing more programmers and conservatives, both of which are excellent additions to the community.

 

[kylej]

Halogaffers that legitimately can't afford to spend money on Halo 4 at launch need to step forward so we can take care of that.

Are we going to laugh at them or something? Ooh, maybe we'll all send them XBL Halo 4 invites on the 6th?

 

[The Real Napsta]

I want lavagiant in Halo.

 

[Lunchbox]

Halogaffers that legitimately can't afford to spend money on Halo 4 at launch need to step forward so we can take care of that. So it's not awkward for them they can just pay back to the community in some random way when things are less tight down the line.

anyone got 5 bucks for a sandwich?

kinda hungry

 

[TheOddOne]

What is this 2fort?

You know the basement scene in Pulp Fiction? Imagine that, but sexier.

 

[Tha Robbertster]

There is a problem with Halo 4's marketing when I'm seeing Black Ops 2 commercials instead of Halo 4 commercials on tv. I don't think I've seen more than 10 Halo commercials on Dutch television on my life. In the meanwhile, BF3 and CoD commercials were spammed to death.

 

[bobs...onGaf]

What is this 2fort?

Its basically a long hallway - random weapons - pretty fun for the antics that happen.

But it lasts half an hour.

And its Reach

half an hour of Reach.

I have bolded the worst parts of it.

Its also just worse than playing normal Fiesta Slayer because the hallway distils the gameplay into very specific encounters that have happened about 100 times in the first 5 minutes of that 30 minute slog.

Basically dont trust Elzars lies - he is going to make you play Reach for 30 mins - thats terrible.

20 mins!

Also you forgot about the teleporter entrance trapped with mines, also 2 banshees,2 ghost, 4 hogs, 4 mongooses and two wraiths.

Also overshield and Camo, and the fact it's ctf. I will not have you misrepresenting our beloved 2forts.

It has the Barlow seal of approval!

 

[Akai__]

So, who said "forever goodbye" to Halo Reach? You should do this soon

Spoiler

or throw it into the garbage, where it belongs. :lol

Just wanted to thank 343i again for everything, especially for taking over the Halo series and for not showing us complete missions of campaign and SpOps levels. I really appreciate this.

Halo 4 in 4-8 days. Hype!!!

Its a long narrow corridor with 2 banshees, 2 ghosts, 4 hogs, 4 mongooses and two wraiths.

Terrible.

I will make you play 'Court' in Halo 4 in revenge. I can give you a preview of what 'Court' entails if you want to play a Halo 3 custom sometime.

[Raide]

I so want to try and make a Grifball court that is not just a big empty square. The new passing stuff could be pretty awesome for a more layered open map.

 

[GodlyPerfection]

Oh and Homeboyd right now it looks like the only thing I need for the Forge OT is graphics. Wahrer offered to help if he gets his desktop, but right now nilla is offering to help out as well.

I plan on using my HD PVR to do full videos of custom game settings, forge palettes, etc. More technical resources once the game comes out. And if nobody does gametype guides then I'll probably tackle that myself as well.

I remember like the day the game came out some guy posted a video of him literally like smashing the game - going out of his way to destroy it and smash up anything halo related he owned.

I tried finding that video to post as a response to this post lol.

lol nice. I have 3 copies of it (one is games on demand) and i can't bring myself to part with any of them.

Reach will get a proper send off. I'll play it all I can the Sunday before H4 launch. It shall be glorious.

My final thanks, Bungie. For everything.
