Had my first game with GAFfers last night. Felt good man.

Tried my best not to drag you guys down kittens.

Sounds like when I play with other GAFfers as well. Felt bad last night bringing down fracas and aggro.

What? Why would you leave something like that to the community? It makes for a far less involved application. Waypoint had awesome reach integration, I'd love to see that on Halo 4.

VGA's just announced their nominees for Game of The Year. Halo 4 is nominated in the categories: Best Xbox 360 game, Best Shooter, Best Multi-player Game, Best Graphics and Best Performance By An Human Female (Jen Taylor). 343 Industries is nominated for Studio of The Year.

You see, the mistake you made is putting "Waypoint" and "awesome" in the same sentence. We don't take kindly to that type of talk 'round these parts...

 

[Louis Wu]

I hate that I have so much less time to spend here - I feel like the conversation has moved past all the comments I want to make. Gonna make 'em anyway.

We call that Saltpeter.

Shouldn't that be anti-saltpeter?

The blackout of stats was on the 14th and were fixed before max population hours...I'm confused. The dips are on the 12/13 the days Blops 2 just came out that had continuos playlist population logging.

I'm not saying you are wrong I'm saying the stats clearly show Blops 2 hit the population.

The blackout started mid-afternoon on the 13th - before the peak that day. You're almost certainly right that there was a drop due to BlOps2 - but you're not seeing it in that picture, you're seeing a Tuesday 'peak' captured in the middle of the afternoon.

And mine is 81,003. So it seems to actually have gone in order of preorder maybe. I preordered mine as soon as it was available on Amazon.

We got email from someone today who claims to have received '000001' - he's afraid to open it. I've asked 343 to look into this, and see if it's possible that he might actually have the first one.

 

[BuggyDClown]

Did you delete and redownloaded it again? Yeah, got stuck with the old one that way.

Excuse me? Did it update or change? I don't remember deleting it.

Not sure if you would like to have that on the internet.

Awesome news. Congrats to 343i on the nominations!

EDIT: OddOne you forgot Best Score.

Waypoint. HAHAHAHA. Such a funny joke, gets me every time.

oh nice can we vote for everything ? The vga page crashes on my mobile phone.
Congratulations.

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Really excited for Snipes but really bummed out by the map choice for the playlist, Snipes is always fun on small to mid maps as its all about fast paced jump shots and skill. On large maps it turns into a camping and waiting game.

Halo Snipers doesn't need to be like real life snipers and is more fun when it plays to its arcadey strengths rather than trying to be realistic.

Yes.

Agreed, being a BK is really embarrassing

... or did I?

Spoiler

Journey soundtrack wins, Neil doesn't stand a chance.

Am I the only one who finds all the stats interesting?

 

[tuseday]

Do you guys think 343i will drop any forge maps in MM before January ?

 

[dmg04]

If Halo is set in the same universe we live in, but in the ~26th century, why can't chief just read archives of the Halo books that we have on our shelves at the moment to figure out what to do?

Sometime in the Future, Halo will be written out of history because some COD loving maniac will take presidency.

(making a joke, no hate intended)

Webdesign and web/game integration: Bungie>343.

This is not a subjective opinion but an objective truth.

I hope at least Relay does.

Stalkers incoming.

 

[squidhands]

So has the halo waypoint app been Abandonded? Will it ever update to support Halo 4. Would be nice.

The free Smartglass app is probably what you're looking for now. It has most, if not all, of the Waypoint stats and you don't need to be connected to your xbox for it to work.

 

[Enfinit]

Make them fun, think Reid18/Kampy. Ultra serious MLG stuff gets boring after the first few times.

Montages like Ninja's last Reach montage are fantastic. Serious play mixed with humorous moments in between is a perfect mix. His real-life reactions are an added bonus.

Mass Effect 3 is going to win overall GOTY and it's going to be glorious. :lol

It should. Best game this year easily.

I never said anything about what Bungie did. Why cling to something we don't have.

Fuck the reason I want the app is it's better and more responsive than the waypoint website. I'd prefer to make the best out of what we have than miss out in stats all together.

um itt people who don't understand envelope address locations

pay a bill kids

Totally understand. But why settle for less, when you can demand more?

Fixed.

Also sticky, sticky autoaim.

Waypoint is pretty, it follows the "Halo 4" theme, and it's impressive from a tech standpoint, but the intuitiveness that Bungie provided with their site is definitely not there right now...

 

[CyReN]

Assassin Creed 3 shouldn't be in GOTY over Halo 4.

Obama pays all my bills.

 

[BuggyDClown]

I'm content with waypoints UI and current level of information. Also thought ATLAS was a cool idea, the site sucks because it's slow,and could offer more. Right now thoughh I'd simply like what we currently have in a better integrated dedicated app so it's fast.

It's something I can expect soon, where a site upgrade and new systems can take much longer to create.

It definitely should win best graphics, I'll give it that.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Assassin Creed 3 shouldn't be in GOTY over Halo 4.

Neither should be GOTY solely because of how far iterated they are on a single series.

 

[Rev3rb]

Neither should be GOTY solely because of how far iterated they are on a single series.

What would you propose as GOTY?

 

[Garrett 2U]

Neither should be GOTY solely because of how far iterated they are on a single series.

So would you say Skyrim didn't deserve GOTY?

 

[Rickenslacker]

What would you propose as GOTY?

Of the shallow list of games from this year I've played, Dishonoured.

I just mean that when you have fresher games coming out if the standout is the 6th Halo game or the 5th or 6th Assassin's Creed, then something's going very wrong.

So would you say Skyrim didn't deserved GOTY?

Haven't played it, but probably not.

You are trolling right?

 

[Trey]

Halo's got best 360 game, best female performance, and best graphics locked up.

 

[Rickenslacker]

You are trolling right?

No. I was pretty amazed when I first played Morrowind, and I still love that game; but since then their general approach to open world design has been lacking. I only played through the tutorial area and I haven't touched the game since I tried to kill the Nord I tagged along with, only to have him bend down on his knee for a bit and get back up like nothing happened. Not that that's why I stopped playing the game or anything haha, but I haven't been instilled with the confidence that Skyrim really stands out from anything Bethesda's done already other than being newer and shinier.

That would be awesome and I definitely wouldn't open

 

[Shadders]

I'd go with Journey for GOTY, literally the only thing I've done with my PS3 in 2012.

It's my game of the entire generation, nevermind year. I'm more excited for the expansion than for most full games.

 

[Rickenslacker]

I'm gonna put some serious time into it once all the expansions come out and get discounted. I heard the upcoming one is adding spears, which have been sorely lacking in games lately and are my weapon of choice, so I'm excited for that. Hopefully they're fully integrated and an entirely new weapon class with a variety of them and not just a single one-off weapon.

+1

Love Skyrim.

 

[m23]

Max Payne was a great game too, a little heavy on the cutscenes though.

I feel crap about Skyrim, didn`t put nearly enough time into it as I should have. I beat the main story but skipped most of the other stuff because of other games and busy with school.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Bethesda are awful and I feel sad they get paid huge sums to be.
