Aren't games only rendering what you see? So the Visor is only taking resources in Coop when looked at or in cutscenes I think. I am probably wrong.

Something like this.
It is rendering for Theater..oh wait.
Also, what is with the grav lifts on sniper turrets? I see myself and AI getting stuck all the time.
And the random AI that runs backwards away from you. Normally see it on Jackals, but just had it happen with a crazy Elite carrying a sword.

I'm talking time resources, not memory(although the extra bytes could be used somewhere else).
I'm sure the "time resources" allocated for that weren't as expensive as you think. Using them elsewhere likely wouldn't have provided any difference to gameplay.

This game utterly refuses to give me a winning team in dominion. I go positive every game, capture bases like mad, but lose every game because I have no help. You would think truskill would kick in and knock me down to easier matches for losing every game, but no, same shitty teammates over and over.
Throwing really helps a lot with the game type, love playing Oddball.

Same, the only time this came in handy is when Juices and I nudged Devo off a cliff in campaign.

haha this shit got me killed on Haven a few times actually. Guys beneath us at those little splits in the top ramps. I just want to jump over and a teammate sprints into my asshole and throws me down into the pits of tartarus.

Most of the resources for SpOps went to the totally tubular cutscenes and extremely high quality dialogue. Quit being so negative. Gosh.
Shut up, egghead.

At least he ain't no hingehead. Speaking of which...brb.
got so pissed off with the clusterfuck of power weapons and personal ordnance in infinity slayer so decided to try out regicide.
won 4 of 5 games lol.
i shouldn't have to resort to FFA game types (and regicide is hardly like a standard ffa anyway. in one of the games I went +10 while a very close second was -3. wtf???) or swat to enjoy the game though.
hoping ordnance and random weapon spawns don't make a return in any playlist in the next game.

Remember when I played that CTF game on Condemned with you guys and bro-spawned you five feet away from the enemy flag like a spawn/corpsehose?
Yeah, I just figured out how to do that tonight on Haven with King of the Hill. I spent a bit of time in the match and could reliably spawn my teammates like a hose of death pointed at the hill. Good times.

He's the flood God we deserve, but not the one we need right now.
Oh my God.
We have to do this.
I can't get over how buggy this game is. It's madness!
Good thing it's just a beta!

The Hingehead. We don't like them. At all.

Can someone at 343/Microsoft get a kick ass Halo game going for Windows Phone 8 or perhaps Windows RT/8? I can barely understand why Microsoft hasn't leveraged this franchise for their mobile OS yet, outside of helper apps.
Something like Halo Wars would be cool, too.

This is hilarious! I haven't been keeping up too well the last week or so, but did you do an egghead one too?
Porting Halo CE and Halo 2 over to the Windows 8 store would be pretty nice. A man can dream though I guess.
Don't know why I am still so burnt on the shitty Halo 2 port, just makes me angry every time I think about it and the potential it had.
I wish they'd even sell the thing via the Windows Marketplace. At least I could put in my CD key and redownload the game after my disc got cracked :/
If you legally own the license, then who cares how you get the actual game files? (hint hint)

Yeah buddy. If you did miss it, I have been making tiles like that for Halo campaign levels. Here's the link if you care to see.

Oh yeah, and Forerunner is my latest one.
Still the point is he should NOT have to go through that, Microsoft dropped the ball and dropped it hard when it came to Halo on the PC, its a pretty big market and honestly I think they are a bit stupid for not releasing a PC port 6 or so months after the release of the 360 version of Halo games. Its still a Microsoft exclusive, it will still sell consoles but some people really wont play it unless its on the PC and I think a 6 month wait is totally acceptable as long as its not a straight port with shitty KB+M controls and no custom resolution, oh also maybe proper modding tools and MM support!
Dreams are nice though.....
No, I understand.
He missed out on the last gameday for this reason. (IIRC)
Anyway, I think I might want to host another Halo 2 Vista gameday sometime soon.
"let's release the Halo PC source code" - a thing no one at Microsoft, Bungie, 343, or Gearbox has ever said or thought or would humor
I am up for it, finally fixed the Windows 8 problems I was having again.
Still though I REALLY do not understand why Microsoft wont do a 6 month cycle for Halo game, they are missing out on a pretty massive market but going "lol exclusive" even though 6 months of exclusivity is all you really need to sell your hardware.

Except Nintendo doesn't also make the market dominant OS on PCs. It's honestly a sake of why the hell not?
It's akin to how crazy I find it that Nintendo doesn't license/port their IP to iOS/Android. It would be perfect on there, and could potentially bring in tens if not hundreds of millions to the Wii U and their other properties. The only reason they don't is that they're mad people want to play on their phone instead of their 3DS these days.
I think if they wanted to do that they should never have released it on PC in the first place. When they did that they opened the flood gates of PC fans bitching when they decided "console only forever!"
Again I think a perfect set up would be
-Release game/limited edition hardware
-Release DLC for first 4-6 months
-Release PC complete edition 6-8 months after release
-Repeat for next game.
A lot of people wont wait for 6 to 8 months for a PC port so they will buy the hardware and the people that will wait would probably have never bought the hardware in the first place.

So I stole the egghead one without your permission and used my incredible Paint skills to superimpose a crop of my twitter profile picture. I can't decide whether it's just creepy or awesome enough for a new avatar. What do you think?
They will be dominant regardless if they release a port six months in. It is all about image, Halo is what made the Xbox and now that we are at the verge of new generation; they will want to emphasize that the Xbox is the only console where you can play Halo. Furthermore, for years they were criticized for not having true exclusives; they were mocked even within the industry. They have tried to avoid this stigma for a while now. See that there are no Halo releases on the PC after Halo 2.
You know high selling console exclusives have a reason to stay exclusive, they drive hardware sales and give a certain image to the console. What people really should be clamoring is releasing low selling console exclusive to the PC. Heck, the most niche titles get decent sales on the PC.
I’m not debating that it should not release on the PC, but I can totally see why they are not doing it.
Yeah, I'm finally wrapping my head around what they did with the spawn system this time around, but buddyspawning has an absurd weight to it now. A example of how it can be a negative: we were testing Computron's map in a custom. People instantly respawning inside the base would buddy weight their instantly spawning teammates to the inside the base, creating a self-made circle of spawncamping. So you can be negatively spawned somewhere because one person keeps mashing X.

This would be a great idea, but the fact they have tied commendations to regicide means that it will probably remain a permanent playlist sadly
Having such specific commendations seems like a silly way to back yourself in a corner. Rotating the FFA playlists would have been interesting. Pretty salty that FFA slayer is nowhere to be found, objective FFA and party game FFA is not as fun for me.
