I was able to post one of the songs from that on my YouTube, but the tossup of whether it gets rejected or not dissuaded me from doing any more. So stupid.

It's like some folks on here forgot that this game came with a 2 week free live code, which coincides with those numbers and the decline.
People who bought the game for campaign played it for 2 weeks online, then either couldn't afford the renewal or didn't like getting owned, or saw it as a worthwhile investment. Couple that with bloops 2 and there you go.

Console BF3 had a server browser from the beginning, presumably because EA realised that providing something which benefits your title in a plethora of ways is a good thing.
Everyone take a shot!
Whoa, I am no 14 year old. Elzar, Hyrda & co. played with me one day and we played that gametype...it was a lot of fun!

that's a "crazy custom game" the same way turning on fiesta and super low gravity and high speed is a "crazy custom game"
it's the sort of thing 14 year olds come up with.

So, any word about getting 1-flag or assault back? It would be nice if with Halo 4 they handled DLC in a more interesting manner, adding more than just maps the way BF3 does.. It would be awesome to have the return of the Chopper via DLC, as well as new gametypes, etc. I would love for FF to be added, maybe utilizing SP Ops and MP maps..
But most of all, and I imagine this is more reasonable, 343 really needs to give players more control of the game, and bring back more staple features and gametypes. If we could get a classic playlist I think things would pick up in a positive manner. After that, I would love if they considered re-engineering global ordinance in a way that plays out more predictable and less random. The game really needs map control to come back.

What are you 14 years old, foreign, or worse!?
Let's give it one more shot now, you may have to clear your cache or cookies under THC also.
Custom options are severely limited, especially with Grifball sadly.

SA was a lot of fun for me, game was ambitious and pulled it off, im curious why you didnt like it?
What!?? The PS2 GTA's where phenomenal, seeing a 3D living breathing world with that much character was beyond mindblowing.
Getting JiPed on Solace on a one man team in the first minute of the game just after the other team manages to snag both Sniper Rifles and the Incineration Cannon is not awesome. It shouldn't even be a possibility.

I agree that the worlds were cool, but for me the mechanics were bad that I just couldn't have any fun in the worlds. I like what Rockstar has made this gen though!
I will say that dicking around the cities and multiplayer are fun. Other than that, I just don't get the craze.

YAHTZEE! Thx amigo.
Sure would be nice, especially considering 7 (8, really) of the 13 maps we have now are asymmetric (or feature asymmetric team spawns) with...zero asymmetric gametypes. It'd require a sizable amount of work for the patch, though. You'd have to patch in the ability to have rounds, a proper sudden death mechanic for flag/bomb carriers, overhaul the spawn system which seems woefully inadequate since Forgers can't force spawns away from teammate locations very easily, and add a whole bunch of CTF options (including waypoint visibility on carriers, proximity contesting, proximity flag returning, etc.). For me to take objectives seriously in this game, global ordnance has to get the axe - I've defended or stormed the base on Solace with a lucky Incineration Cannon or Sticky Detonator drop that I didn't earn half a dozen times by now. At the minimum for Assault they'd have to fix the Grifball arm time option, but as far as I'm concerned being able to disable the throw, having a proper explosion to discourage people trying to disarm at the last second, and making players clip through the ball instead of being able to "kick" it by running into it are all required options to have Assault work properly. Ideally, Assault would be a separate gametype so we didn't get the Grifball announcer intro, but I'm keeping my expectations low for now.

You are both terrible people and should feel ashamed.
The games where outstanding for their time and provided a sandbox which was hard to rival - the missions had interesting set ups and the humour was fantastic. Maybe going back to them now would make them feel dated, but at the time the controls/ mechanics/ gameplay in general was leagues ahead of the competition.

I don't get the "fu" in "heckfu." Is that like kung fu? What's the point of it?
You would think that, but the games are so damn good. Amazing sandbox.

GTA IV and Chinatown Wars are good. And V looks good.
Maybe if I played the PS2 games on a PC I'd like them more, so at least they'd look OK and have a decent framerate.

I feel bad calling people out on another forum, but I saw someone make a post on HBO saying something along the lines of the fact that without randomness to let lesser skilled players get kills that the game would be predetermined and boring - I just dont get how people can have that view - sure the better player would win more often but the fun comes from the gameplay, not from the random bullshit that comes with ordnance - and if matchmaking did its job the game would be great if randomness was removed in my opinion.

Meh. I'm a guy. At least part of his GT makes sense.
That's an often-asked question.
For those that don't know the first half, the Heck represents part of my last name.
The fu half of Heckfu comes from an era of gaming that was transitioning from a simple 3-character moniker to register high scores in games to a full fledged 'enter username' up to a full 7 to 10 characters! It was a magical time in gaming where you could enter your full name for some or a more clever nickname for those whose couldn't fit their name.
I was in the latter camp and couldn't fit my full last name and thought my first name is too drab to use to register what I assumed would be scores world-known! So I looked through my game catalog for inspiration when I came upon this gem, and thus Heckfu was born...nay, REborn.

Worst origins story ever.
Pretty sure I enjoyed that wolverine movie that came out a few ago more.
SUPER DUPER IMPORTANT NEWS EVERYBODY
Since 2001 there has only been one level in the FPS Halo series that I have never beaten on Legendary. Tonight, I sat down and said "FUCK IT!" and played through the Library. I would still rather stab myself in the genitals than play that poo poo again.
You may now continue with your business.

So we got Forward Unto Dawn Blu-Ray delivered today, and just finished watching it. Glorious. The actor that plays Lasky has the best crying face I've seen in a move. Nasty, unseemly, slimy. It's perfect.
After feeling completely disenfranchised by Halo 4, I'm not a lock-in for the next Halo or the next Xbox, but I sure as heck will watch and buy another movie, if they choose to make one.

I said this in the thread you got the image from, but I don't think the friendslist got bumped up. I think the friendslist in that game is just 150, with 100 coming from your XBL friends.
There is a thread? Saw Wario tweet the picture.

Sorry to disappoint, but "Frenemies" has been around since Wordament launched on Windows Phone. It's like a rivals system in other games, but auto-includes your friends.

Oh, I assumed you saw the thread, haha. It's about an iOS game which has XBL achievements.

Halo 2 died because Microsoft wanted to cut all the remaining support for the original Xbox. Since it was all or nothing with original Live support, Halo 2 had to go down with the rest of the ship.
Hell, they STILL have "Original Xbox gamers may be unable to hear this message" text when you're sending messages. How many dash updates have they had since then where they could have gotten rid of that line?
