That idea Kylej posted about a map with 2 crossing rivers that can push objective runners downstream toward eachother and get stronger as the teams score changes could be partially realized with gravity zones and (Dominion?) gametype labels...

...Anyway, busy trying out a elongation remake with forge.

Make it Longest and not Elongation please lol

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

I think the moment Halo started feeling way too different was when the art style changed to feel more gritty and when there was less diversity in things you would pick up on the maps (removal of Powerups and Equipment made into spawn items, in turn taking away the 100% equal starts). And obviously bloom..

 

[Striker]

So clean. So simple. So efficient.

Still lacked any gametype information.

 

[kylej]

ya my maps would rule.

I'm gonna start campaign tomorrow. Might poopsock and do a full run tomorrow night, I'm not sure. Will need peeps.

 

[kittens]

Relax, pumpkin.

Dax, this shit is so obnoxious.

Halo 4 Classic UI - 800MSPoints

Well I bought 2000 Microsoft points with the intention to buy the season pass, which I'm now not interested in, so I'd pay for that.

Please stop with the old UI images, it's making me sad and yearning for Bungie.

 

[FyreWulff]

Relax, pumpkin. What's up with you today? The Carbine is a good weapon, and I've won many firefights with it against DMR users. The key with it is to get off the first shot.

The pumpkin / dear shit is really annoying Dax. Just saying.

edit: amazing

Now i want to see an Elongation remake by the devs and somehow trying to justify how two streams are running parallel and in opposite directions.

I'm down to do a poopsock run if you don't mind someone without a working mic.

I think I've found my issue with Halo 4 and it's basically the same issue as all other Halos; I've been going into Infinity Slayer on my own. I never used to go into Team Slayer unless I had a team, because people take it slightly more seriously than other gametypes. The fault was mine essentially, been having a blast in other game types on my own, despite some weird connection issues generally arising halfway through matches. Played with one team who were close to losing and I am almost positive used a lag switch; they still lost.

The game has a lot of strengths and some big weaknesses, but nothing I haven't dealt with in previous Halos and I think some new playlists and small updates with give it longevity for me.

 

[Plywood]

Playing Requiem on Legendary with Thunderstorm skull for the Campaign challenge and I swear a suicide Grunt ran at me saying "Arriba!" just now.

Still lacked any gametype information.

The best UI would combine the best elements of Halo 2 and Reach's.

 

[Deputy Moonman]

Got a killamanjaro earlier in pro slayer. Rather bummed that I cant upload it. Probably wont happen again in a looong time lol. Pro slayer is still my fav playlist.

Save the file and wait for the theater upload shit to get fixed.

 

[Karl2177]

I wonder if when 343 play this game and get killed by a crouching camo sniper, they smile to themselves and say, "yesssss, this is the game I dreamed of making."

hahahaha

Dax, this shit is so obnoxious.

Honeybuns, I think it's pretty funny.

 

[kittens]

Daaaamn, nice. I've got a killtac and several overkills. I've never gotten a killamanjaro in any Halo game.

Also: Grifball is so much more fun in Halo 4.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Dax, this shit is so obnoxious.

Why kittens, are you.... offended?

 

[Striker]

Pretty much. Combine Halo 2 UI showing all the players, map and gametype setting, and then Reach's Active Roster (Y button).

 

[kittens]

Why kittens, are you.... offended?

No. Just think it's annoying.

 

[BlueScrote]

I'm pretty sure playing BTB is making me worse at halo.

 

[Plywood]

I really, really hope the game gets a UI update. Which also brings me to:

Dear 343, please replace the Infinity/War Games music with your Green & Blue (KOAN SoundRemix) track.

Thanks,
Plywood

Yep playing with a party of local friends is far more enjoyable connection and game experience, mateship aside.

Also I've already seen bridging host is still alive as well as lag switching and standby too. All that in less than 50 games

Network cheaters suck ass.

 

[DeadNames]

I really, really hope the game gets a UI update. Which also brings me to:

Is a UI update possible?

 

[kylej]

UI update ain't happening. Its clearly been designed to be used with that dumb SmartGlass gimmick. Same with Waypoint.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Dax, this shit is so obnoxious.

He's been told this in PoliGAF as well, when he was counter-trolling and it got as annoying as the actual trolling he was responding to.

 

[MaximumFlipFlop]

Does the menu ever lag for people? When I was playing there were times when I thought my Xbox froze. Could have sworn someone assured us all that it was fast and responsive...

 

[xxjuicesxx]

ya my maps would rule.

I'm gonna start campaign tomorrow. Might poopsock and do a full run tomorrow night, I'm not sure. Will need peeps.

What time? I'll try and bangbus the GF.

 

[Sai-kun]

Relax, pumpkin.

Wow, you never call me pumpkin. Rude.

 

[Plywood]

Is a UI update possible?

I would assume that because the MP is installed this would open up the game to being altered/updated on a higher level than previous Halo's allowed, I could be wrong though.

 

[willow ve]

The Carbine is a good weapon, and I've won many firefights with it against DMR users. The key with it is to get off the first shot.

Isn't that true of literally any weapon with similar or same kill times... If you land the first shot, and don't miss shots you should always beat the other weapon...

 

[The Librarian]

No. Just think it's annoying.

Is it? I apologize. I don't know why you think I'm doing it, but it's not to be funny or annoying or anything. I'm going through some pretty severe mental issues at the moment and it is very hard right now. Stuff I've been dealing with for three-quarters of my life that I should've seen someone about a long time ago, but I didn't and now it's very bad. I'm seeing a psychologist about it all now.

I almost didn't go to NYCC because of what I'm dealing with, and I was pretty distant there. The trip was worth it at least for Frankie signing my Halo 3 copy, which means so much to me. And everyone there was great.

And at times I've considered not posting here for a while because I am so afraid that in a passing comment I'll something on here that I shouldn't, and I can't let that happen. But I guess if I'm saying that I should stop posting here for a bit. Believe or not, and I know it might not make any sense, but it's helping me cope. They're just terms of endearment, nothing more.

Sorry for everyone that I annoyed. I don't know what to do; I'm pretty messed up in the head at the moment.

 

[GhaleonEB]

In particular, firefights when you are scoped. If you're in a long range shootout and peppering a DMR user with rapid fire Carbine rounds, the DMR user's reticule is going to be dancing like Sai in front of a webcam.

Don't stop posting. Just dial down the honey/sweetie/pumpkin responses. I think they had an unintentional effect. Sorry to hear you're going through a rough time, I hope things turn around. I know when my life gets ugly it sure gets reflected in my posts, 10x worse than anything you've let on. Hang in there.

:/ check PMs bud

 

[HiredN00bs]

Dax, start calling people turkeys. It's what my dad does. Plus Thanksgiving, the greatest of all holidays, is less than a week away.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Well, that was unexpected. I thought Dax was fucking around with the "dear" stuff.

Hope you get your mind right Dax. If posting here helps, keep posting man, people who give you shit about it can fuck off.

That said, it WOULD be swell if the "dear" stuff ended.

 

[Computron]

NVM, I'll wait till top of page.

 

[Fracas]

I don't know how much emotional support a videogame forum can provide, but HaloGAF's here for you Dax. Keep your head up, man.

edit: dammit computron this is a serious moment

 

[Tawpgun]

HaloGAF's anthem.

Nope, this is.

 

[Enfinit]

What's HaloGAF's preferred weapon of choice in SWAT? (and why?)

Can't decide on whether or not the DMR or BR is more useful/better.

 

[Computron]

Can't decide on whether or not the DMR or BR is more useful/better.

Stay at close-range or in places with short sightlines with a BR 'till you kill a DMR-only fool. Then you can pick theirs up as backup and go hunting in the more secluded sections of the map. Obviously staying close to cover.

BR sweep shot is too good in SWAT.

PS Remove the Boltshot

I see nothing wrong with those terms, just some brotastic forum love being expressed. :/

Anyways, was sad to read this, you're one of my favorite posters and I would've never imagined you were dealing with those kind of issues. Very glad you're already receiving professional help and dealing with the issues head on. Hope you feel way better very soon and feel free to shoot me a PM if you ever want to talk about anything, as random as it could be.

Nope, this is.

Fucking perfect.

Would gaming side or off topic be the right place to post a thread about falling out of love with gaming?

 

[Fracas]

I kind of want to try Boom Ball with Sticky Detonators.

Would gaming side or off topic be the right place to post a thread about falling out of love with gaming?

Can I have your games?

Spoiler

Sorry to hear that dude gaming side would be appropriate I guess

 

[Omni]

Why does the Boltshot sound like a leaking tap? Terrible. It sounds and feels useless outside of its 5 shot blast.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Nope, this is.

Fuck that is now stuck in my head playing over and over

 

[Rickenslacker]

Gaming side. It's easy to feel disillusioned if your absolute favourite series went down a path that you don't like, but maybe just take a break from it and get back to it refreshed.

 

[SHIFTYkiwi]

Started to play some regicide for the first time and ended the game with a Killtac for last five kills. Regicide is now my new favorite gametype.

I need a thread to explain it because I think it stems from so much more than Halo 4 being something I did not want it to be.

 

[ncsuDuncan]

Nope, this is.

Bwahaha, that song always reminds me of NYCC now. Hilarious, fun times. Can't wait for PAX East.

 

[Tashi]

Daxy poo, you can call me Pumpkin anytime <3

Played it for the first time yesterday. Really didn't like it.

I was king or whatever all match and it suddenly occurred to me... What the hell do I get out of being king? At one point I got shields, but that's it? I still get 10 points for killing people, whereas others know exactly where I am at all times and can get 35 points for killing me? How in the world does that make sense? Why punish the guy who is coming first?

I won of course, but I'm never playing that shit again
