holy shit.
I don't think they actually own it anymore, it was taken off their trademarks age a ling time ago, and they stopped using it on shirts. I think Superintendent on the Headlong remake sealed the deal.

After spending the last several days live broadcasting his play through of a Lara Croft game from his mom's basement. He's aware of the irony.

I like cargo shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear
I wanted to use the BR and DMR more. I spent most of my play through on Heroic using the Lightrifle and Boltshot. UNSC weapons were sparse
lol I know
Gah. Just going through the helmets in the game and I came across the Commando one.
What the hell is this monstrosity?

What do Starcraft II players wear?

I was expecting this, but better...

Halo 4 Helmets generally suck. Welcome to months before launch.

Brooks Brothers makes a nice pair.
Is that a glitched helmet? Sweet, I can cosplay the space pope in the game.Gah. Just going through the helmets in the game and I came across the Commando one.

Also fuck y'all, the helmets and armor customization in Halo 4 absolutely shit on those in Reach.
There's a reason that video is now unlisted Tashi
lol hehehe
All poop and no Mark V makes Mink a dull Spartan.
My god!
I didn't spoil myself by looking at all the armour before release. I saw some of the helmets, but definitely not the Commando one.
Haha, oh dear

Hahaha, there are a lot of things they make that I like and a lot that I do not.

A bunch of stuff just looks like Gundam or random BMX helms.
The raider helmet:
The pulled ears, the snout like nosepiece and the tongue thing make it look like a pig to me.
I dunno, Locus is pretty sweet. If only I could get it.
Wanna give it to me?
Although it is a bit strange that there is a water helmet when spartans can't swim.
I made some example .GIFs from my Foundation remake for a write-up on the lighting system (In this ForgeGAF Post.).
I made it by taking a screenshot in theater, moving some forge pieces that affect the lighting just a bit, switching to player mode and waiting for it to generate lighting, then repeating these steps for every frame.
Then I extract/dump the 1080p screenshots on my PC with a special app and stitch the frames together into a .GIF in PS/AE.
In this shot, the only thing that's changing is a single coliseum wall (on top, outside of the map, not pictured) that I use to cast a shadow over blue/green team's side of the map (for matching cold color temperature team base colors with cold/shadowed lighting, which helps improve navigability) is moving closer/farther away from the part of the map it is shadowing. This is used to illustrate the importance of choosing the right place to build your map and how you can make targeted adjustments to your maps ambient/indirect lighting, making everything seem less flat and dark. All the while, the shadow that the coluseum wall piece is casting stays in the same spot, only its ambient component changes, just as intended.

Here is another example for some technical stuff for the post:
that's all the forge GIFs I got for now

^I.. can't stop watching
I know, its hypnotizing. I've watched it quite a few times myself.
Also, it takes an annoyingly long time to make, since theatre has some wierd issues regenerating the lighting mid-film, so getting the stop motion animation to not skip frames is difficult.
Wish I had a good capture card. But, It looks great in 1080p with the extra theatre mode enhancements!
Now that I think about it, you could set up an Arduino to record halo gameplay footage in 1080p with perfect anti aliasing and theater-mode-extras like longer/higher LOD distances, better filtering and potentially infinitely higher frame rates for procedural effects like Particle/water/plant-animations effects (though, sadly, not player animations since those don't seem to get interpolated). Maybe you could even capture it all in stereo 3d through a slight offset. All you would have to do is get the arduino to emulate the Xbox controller with some macros to automate all the button presses and capture everything frame by frame.
Man, that's gotta be one of the craziest ideas for capturing 6 yr old console game footage. What did Bungie call their video capture service? I think the internal code name was the Hydra system? I need a name for this one for when I launch my own service in direct competition. Lol, charge $20 for a minute long true 1080p clip of Halo .4
What I am saying is, Halo 4 for Windows please. (Even if it's locked to window 8)

Camo and snipers errywhere.
lol Halo 4.
Get on for one game of dominion, matched up against 70s and dudes with specialization. All of them had camo, snipes and some other power weapon at their disposal and were camping in various places on Longbow. So one game was enough for me tonight. What a crock of shit.

Just finished the game on solo legendary and I really enjoyed my run through it. Not my favorite campaign but still a blast.

My desire to play Halo 4 again at this point is at fucking zero.
