Zalin and Hooch are still playing pretty regularly, no?

Yep.

Those ragamuffins still play, me and Xand play regularly as well.

Surprisingly, Bobs' also plays most days.

There are still a few hanging around, but most on my FL seem to have moved on to a variety of games.

I only have like 6 people (out of 90) that play BO2.

Am I correct in seeing the population being ridiculously skewed toward Big Team right now, or has it always been that way?

--

Oh man, I just dominated a team in BTB with damage boost DMR on Ragnarok. My first Killtacular of Halo 4, too. I felt like a ninja. The game just wouldn't stop giving me great ordnance and excellent drops as I'm moving around. At one point I had damage boost, a sniper, and a binary rifle all at once at pelican. I feel dirty.

At one point I ran out of ammo completely, in front of their base. So I sprinted and jumped up the front amidst turmoil, no shields. I execute their sniper, while sidestepping the guy beside him and lifting out the side lift, still no shields. As I land, I have just enough time for enough shields to recharge to duck under cover as a single DMR shot hits my head. I proceed to sprint back to our base, hop into a banshee, and continue on to a killing frenzy until I'm taken down by a guy waltzing around with a turret. Immediately as I spawn I call down a damage boost and get a killtacular.

Good times. First time I've has this much fun playing Halo in awhile, and I'm playing all alone. That rarely happens.

Also, at monsterfracas, what's wrong with the ambient music in Halo 4?

I think the population is skewing towards BTB because there are more maps for it. I think infinity slayer works better in BTB due to it's chaotic nature also.

I do actually like the game.

I don't know if I would call what I do 'playing' though

Its been skewed towards BTB from the beginning hasn't it? Since at least before Crimson hit regardless. My guess is because it showcases everything in Halo 4's bag of tricks (infantry/vehicles/loadouts/ordnance), and you don't *require* team coordination to have fun and pull out some wins. But the new maps sure don't hurt.

Old people drink to remind themselves they are not old.

No, I drink because I like to PRETEND I'm not old. Posting here does something similar, but with less beer farts.

This is all a trick by Computron to get us to buy H2V and play with him lol

It's working

Yes yes join the H2V crowd. We need more on this game. We can bring it back from the dead.

How are you running this on Windows 7

It always gives me some error about games for windows live
Click to expand...

As mentioned that trick he mentioned can help but I honestly have never had much of a problem with it on anything. Ironically I had the most issues with it on Vista.

It always worked great for me on 7.

Now that I think about it I don't think I've tried it since upgrading to 8, but I assume it'd still work fine.

Works perfectly on Windows 8. Using it on it now.

What the hell has happened to this thread lol
Click to expand...

Halo 4 happened. The community was so united and then that game. It's tearing us all apart. You have drunk uncle heckfu beating up on poor aunt ozzy and you have cousin kylej fighting with cousin moonman, then you got grandpa Wu asleep on the couch. Then last I heard grandma Devo got run over by a Reindeer and is MIA. It's like Christmas but on Halogaf.*

*disclaimer
This post in no way implies that ozzy is a woman and that heckfu is drunk or that wu is a grandpa or that Devo is a grandma because obviously she's younger then half of us. It's all in fun. Relax and enjoy the end of the world.

Hmm I need to max Oddball out as well, send me an invite when you're on sometime next week, and want to be disturbed by me, of course.

They did work on the game (supposedly) for a few years. They announced this two weeks ago. Its also December 20th.


They're also pretty terrible and they never really address issues. Last one took away my map pack so I could care leas about bsangel's Xmas decorations right now.

Oh here you go. They are drinking a cocktail with rum and tequila at Frankie's house. I'll guarantee that's what she was gonna write about.

Now that there are two |OT|s in the same forum can we have all Halo 4 discussion in the Halo 4 |OT|, and other Halo talk here?

Or do we just do with 2 Halo4Rage threads?

Unless you do it to hear him sing. Voice of an angel.

I do it mostly when I've had several adult beverages and don't want to bring down non-random teammates. Or when I'm forging, which I have yet to do in Halo 4.

How can we can go from the Dreadnought in Halo 2 and 3 to the Metapod in Halo 4 I will never understand. At least the Forerunner ships in Halo Wars and Legends still looked good and Forerunnery.[/QUOTE]
I don't the look of it either, but we could find Pokémon equivalents or similar insulting nicknames for everything.

The Origins pieces of Legends did seem to be the first artistic Forerunner explorations by 343, before they took it "grittier" and more "complicated" in Halo 4.

I played some Halo 3 matchmaking a bit last night. I'd be into playing some more with Gaffers - my GT is the same as my Gaf name.

Some thoughts on Halo 3:

-god I've missed these maps
-equipment is rare! how refreshing
-the flamethrower is fucking AWESOME. Please Halo 5, please.
-the incendiary and spiker grenades are far more interesting and useful than pulse grenades.
-Longshore is boring
-gameplay is slower than Halo 4 and feels floaty but that's not a bad thing
-seriously, where is the flamethrower, that thing was unique and fun to use
-low population makes finding matches a chore. wish these playlists would be consolidated a bit and all of them require all DLC.
-bad textures. amazing lighting. so colorful. this game looks 10000x better than Reach.
-water engine is coooool
