Support NeoGAF

[Homeboyd]

Any streams going? (Of any Halo game... not looking for 4)

Although, Ellis.. the fuck!

 

[CyReN]

You just labeled yourself Talent's/Zoojoos replacement.
This was not wise.


Also, people, Talents doesn't need a replacement, he wasn't perma'd and is coming back on November 11th.

I thought #EvilAwakens was the 6th though..

 

[MrBig]

The reclaimer saga needs to have PC releases.

 

[ncsuDuncan]

Does anyone know if Grifball in Halo 4 has Friendly Fire enabled/disabled by default?

I could understand why its enabled, but honestly the amount of grieving is crazy.
(random thought)

I believe the Halo 4 Grifball settings are:

- No customized loadouts
- No AAs
- 10-15% increase on player speed and animations
- Damage unchanged
- No radar
- One frag grenade; resupply mod
- DMR, BR or AR primary; Magnum secondary

I could be wrong on that though.

Hold the phone here... saga? I thought this was supposed to be another trilogy.

 

[thetrin]

I would live with GFWL if it meant Halo 4 onward got PC releases. I wouldn't like it, but I'd live with it. I don't even mind segregated servers. I just wanna play with a KBM at max settings on my PC. T_T

"Saga" has no numerical definition; it can be any number of games.

343i changed the term because of Spartan Ops, the books etc. which all will be part of the Reclaimer saga. They all are part of the story.

 

[Swarmerr]

We all have our different definitions of fun, I found Reach fun until the they removed bleedthrough from the TU settings, it has just been a never ending grind to play it and just stat pad like mad with my team in Objective.

The lack of a skill-based searching is a slap to competitive players, no denying that, not saying there isn't one, but the fact we know everything about the meaningless progression ranking system and nothing about this is a little worrying.

Don't know why your getting so much crap over this.

Spoiler

could be your killing some people's hype

For the record I agree with the bold. Granted I understand everyone is hyped (including myself) but I am worried about how matchmaking in general will work. At the very LEAST teams should be matched with teams.

Lastly, even if matchmaking is like reach and I highly doubt it will be

Spoiler

I hope

, customs will be the way to go.

 

[DeadNames]

Well yeah, but saga implies more than three... At least to me.

Ah. I see.

 

[Barrow Roll]

Are widescreen resolutions on CE just cropped? The FOV looks terrible.

 

[MrBig]

Are widescreen resolutions on CE just cropped? The FOV looks terrible.

Gearbox made the FOV 70 for some reason and didn't make a slider to change it ingame. You can of course modify that but :effort:

Not sure what's going on in those pics, but on my computer it looks much better.

2560x1440 downsampled exaggerates the effect.

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

It takes like 20 seconds to download that picture, put it in your picture folder and set it as your background on the 360 lol

You dare suggest I replace this..

..just to test it out what it looks like?! HA! Thanks anyway lol

343. Making so many of the right moves.

Can't wait to see someone mod the white text away.

Thanks, it's homemade. ;P

 

[Seance]

Went to sleep right before OT 10 was done. Not a day later, 1200 posts in OT 11.

Dubs tee.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Only place that matters when it comes to movie reviews

Correct, RT is the place to go.

- No customized loadouts
- No AAs
- 10-15% increase on player speed and animations
- Damage unchanged
- No radar
- One frag grenade; resupply mod

I could be wrong on that though.

BTW, to those of HaloGAF on Windows 8, you can now stream the Halo 4 OST on Xbox Music.

 

[IxmagicmanIx]

You near Novato?

I used to live there. More specifically I lived on Hamilton. Always wondered where in Hamilton 2k was located (I moved away about 10 years ago). Are you guys in one of the old hangars/landing strips? It's pretty cool you guys are there, it's such a nice small town.

 

[Oozer3993]

Halo Waypoint will support Xbox SmartGlass. SmartGlass launches on Friday, but there's no indication of when Waypoint will be updated for it.

[GodlyPerfection]

Is there a trading spreadsheet or something? I can just give up my powerup emblems to you, since I'm thinking of just keeping the non-exclusive buffalo/cross to stand out, but some sort of trade would sweeten the deal.

As nilla said the spreadsheet can be found by quoting my post. It is to keep the lurkers from getting to it. And I will love you forever EXEM. lol... glad to see you finally made it to HaloGAF. I can offer you the Oceanic Skin from walmart.

Homeboyd you ready to play our CC copies this weekend.

Spoiler

If only it were so.

 

[ArchedThunder]

I was watching the debate with a friend and when Romney said we have a mantle my friend instantly said "OH MY GOD, HE IS THE DIDACT!"
So I made this.

NOTE: I am not saying that he is evil, just thought it was funny since he talked about a mantle and the day of the election.

 

[Mayyhem]

So I was listening to my favorite weekly trance/house podcast while playing some D3 and I had to rewind for a second when I thought I heard the host say that the next track would be a remix of the song "To Galaxy" from the Halo 4 soundtrack.

anyways, its pretty amazing (to me anyways)

for those interested here is the link (starts at about 37m24s)

Xbox Smartglass already got it's update for Windows 8 launch for those already on it. Controlling my Xbox with it right now.

Of course it does.

Smartglass makes the 360 browser app amazing, obviously will make A LOT more sense when it comes to mobile.

Was smartglass going to be available on android phones or only WP?

 

[blamite]

BTW, to those of HaloGAF on Windows 8, you can now stream the Halo 4 OST on Xbox Music.

You need the Xbox Music pass to listen to the whole thing though, right? I can see both versions of the soundtrack listed but I can only listen to previews of each track.

Damnit, I made the same joke to my girlfriend! :lol

I was joking because one of our newer members called me that earlier. I'd like to think that HaloGAF in general likes me or at least does not dislike me. ZooJoos and Talents were subpar members.

 

[Falifax]

Was smartglass going to be available on android phones or only WP?

WP, Android and iOS but I guess WP will have all the functions whilst they will cut something off from the Android and iOS versions.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Let the mods begin!

Keep in mind that this will never be able to go online.

 

[Reagan's BR]

Let the mods begin!

Wow! I hope we get some Halo 2 quality mods. Also H4 PC would be cool if it was like Custom Edition.

 

[Im_So_Pringles]

Let the mods begin!



Keep in mind that this will never be able to go online.

That's kinda cool! It's basically identical to past Halo mods though.

 

[SatansReverence]

Let the mods begin!

What's a mantis?

Jungle time!

Keep in mind that this will never be able to go online.

Waypoint will still claim Halo 4 is full of modders lol.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Was smartglass going to be available on android phones or only WP?

iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and Windows 8.

Not sure about OS X.

You need the Xbox Music pass to listen to the whole thing though, right? I can see both versions of the soundtrack listed but I can only listen to previews of each track.

No, check the store to see if you have received the latest update that gets all the Xbox Music features. Free streaming without a paid pass.

Sometimes it takes a few hours for all the updates to roll out to everyone for apps, but you can manually check by going to the Settings charm in the Store -> App Updates -> Check for Updates.

 

[Pop]

So close to H4.

I have to get some deebetus soda and doritos for midnight release.

 

[SatansReverence]

iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and Windows 8.

Awesome, no need to update my phone than.

Is anyone else annoyed that people have played the whole game now and are modding it while we are still waiting until we can even get our hands on it?

 

[PNut]

Any competitive playlists in Halo 4 yet?

No

Yup that's us. It's awesome in there, too.

Yeah it's a nice slow pace. City is fun too. Cool to see some dudes on the GAF from around here

 

[SatansReverence]

Nope, not really.

It's expected to happen.

 

[kittens]

I could wait two weeks, but I honestly won't be that interested in buying the game fully if it just another Reach matchmaking system with no skill-based searching.

But... there is skill based matchmaking. That was reconfirmed by Frankie last week during the visibile skill rankings meltdown.

Edit : Someone (David or Frankie, I can't remember which) even said that Halo 4's skill matching would be more stringent than Reach.

Only Windows Phone 8 though, no support for WP7.5 for whatever dumb reason. :/

Placebo skill amirite

Barrrrlowwwwww


Well, after watching the kotaku Halo 4 LE unboxing (LTTP) video I can rest easy knowing the right choice was made. They even showed the "secret" letter..

 

[Ramirez]

You've done this before

A reoccurring theme, lulz.

 

[SatansReverence]

Only Windows Phone 8 though, no support for WP7.5 for whatever dumb reason. :/

I've got an ice cream sandwich so I'm fine

 

[indubitably]

Only Windows Phone 8 though, no support for WP7.5 for whatever dumb reason. :/

Where was this confirmed?

 

[Steelyuhas]

Only Windows Phone 8 though, no support for WP7.5 for whatever dumb reason. :/

No, it's coming to 7.5 as well, they're just promoting WP8.
