seriously you dudes need him. Way to fold under fucking pressure with a corporate budget. Shameful.

That's why the rank is displayed outside of the game. Rank every playlist. No point in having two of each, in my opinion. As long as I get matched with people of similar skill - I don't care. The ranks are there if you want them.

I want a ranked and unranked version of some playlists because that way, I can enjoy them both competitively and socially. And when I play socially, I won't have to care about my rank which allows me to play with friends who aren't that good (Elzar, Xand etc.)

Stream is not working for me.

Which disc am I supposed to install?

Disc 2

 

[The P of Poland]

Well I guess no more junior jokes! Feels like escaped death.

What?!
Whatever admin/mod has done this has killed a HaloGaf tradition.

 

[too much eslim]

Why are they playing fiesta?

 

[Havok]

Thanks to the folks that posted the twitch link here, and to Cyren who tweeted it out as well. I was just refreshing the own3d page like a moron until I saw that.

U4ix and Bravo are doing really well, though Fiesta isn't really my thing.

Depends on what you mean. It's aesthetically hideous, but in terms of layout, it looks like it easily trounces all the other games' default Forge variants.

Yes, I realize how low that quality bar is. Yes, it is sad.

instant respawns + grey blocks + ffa spawns + fiesta + random camera switching = someone hold my tongue I'm having a seizure

love love love your avatar. What's it from? Looks like it could be from some spiffy Flash game or something, haha.

Guys, lay off the salt. It's starting to get pretty rank in here.

FUD episode 5

You have some pretty big blinders there.

Thanks for the update, Ken.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Which disc am I supposed to install?

Install the first disk for campaign, then boot the game. It will prompt you to install disk 2. This is how you're supposed to do it.

I mean, it's not beautiful, but the map design looks pretty awesome. I get a Foundation/Warlock vibe, and that's a good thing.

Maps should play well first, look pretty second. That Forge map already looks like a better map than all Reach maps - not joking. (except Cragmire)

 

[Havok]

Thanks for the update, Ken.

Good post. I've been meaning to do a huge ADS post in that thread for a while because of that review, but it looks like it's not really necessary anymore. It's just really interesting that someone who is ostensibly very aware of game design (as a reviewer, no less) could gloss over the idea that ADS works primarily because hipfire in those games is so inaccurate, which would destroy the Halo gameplay.

Install the first disk for campaign, then boot the game. It will prompt you to install disk 2. This is how you're supposed to do it.

Works just fine in reverse too. Ban thing is being fixed and reversed, btw. No ETA, but not too long hopefully.

Okay, thanks. No way I'm booting the game now though.

I left work early to play too lol.

 

[orznge]

We need to accomodate blind people who want to play also.


And every video I've seen confirms my fear from months ago that strafing is still too sluggish.

I asked how fast you can go from strafing left/right to the opposite direction some pages ago but no one answered, probably because that isn't an issue to anyone aside from like five of us in this thread lol

Agreed completely. Looks like FFA will be really solid on this map, the game is sooo fast.

Sweet I'm getting excited to go home and play some campaign

Ah, I think I read/saw a video saying it was supposed to go the way I stated. Glad to know it's not "set in stone" like that.

Thanks!

Dive into campaign!

Unplug and play campaign. Unless you were planning on playing MP of course.

 

[Enfinit]

Thanks for the update, Ken.

Wow.

 

[Ken]

Why does halo4.com/ban go to Halo 4's Xbox Live page telling me to preorder now lol.

 

[CyReN]

u4iX and Bravo are doing great together, must be that HaloGAF connection.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

*mutes Halo 4 stream, opens Starcraft 2 stream*

It's Day9, DjWheat, Flash vs Grubby, how can I not...

Preorder now you legitimate customer!

 

[orznge]

where is the stream that y'all are watching

 

[NobleGundam]

Out of curiosity: Why do a few GAFfers purchased 2 copies of Halo 4, holding the other for a buddy perhaps?

You're a gentleman for immediately posting this stuff for those that got the game early.

There used to be a place that always sold games early in my city, but it went out of business because the guy got hired to manage the Apple store. Too bad.

Multiple Xboxes, and that way, you never have to taint the disk tray with any other game, nor remove it from the tray

No need to install the first disk, right?

No, but if you have the space, you'll get a nice loading boost.

This is a godlike post.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Here, on twitch.

They're just starting MLG FFA.

-----------------
Just got a gift from Homeboyd. Thanks dude.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

No need to install the first disk, right?

Nope, from my understanding all you need is disk 2 for MP.

Disk 2 is the MP assets.

 

[Beckx]

Kind of stunned at the difficulties with the MLG stream. CEO and EVO were flawless this year (and CEO was free at that). Hire Sp00ky (and talk to Jebailey about how to hype a damn event).

 

[Korosenai]

That main stage makes me weep

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

I am only a fourth of the way in the double xp thing. I can't do more sugar...

 

[DeadByDawn]

Beat the campaign and played a few multiplayer matches. This is the best Halo since two. I love it. Especially the multiplayer portion, so much better than what we got in three and Reach. Not a fan of getting dropped into a game on the losing side, though. But it is still fun even then.

Excellent work, 343i.

Let's not go crazy yet. Let's re-evaluate a month after launch. Honeymoon phase will be in effect for quite some time.

That said, can't wait to dive in myself.

Same just happened to someone in the OT. They must've turned the switch back on.

smh M$ is fucking retarded

I couldn't snag a copy here in town. I also haven't gotten a PM with a download code from you so I don't even know what to do anymore.

 

[op_ivy]

i know these are pros... but jetpack still looks fucking broken.

Honestly amazing support considering all the shit that's probably going on for you guys right now.

Thank You

Ehh idk, it goes down really fast, you can't hover like in Reach, at 66% used it turns Red and you can't "tap it to hover" so we'll have to see.
