So let me get this right.
People bitch and complain about evade but we would all be perfectly fine is everybody could teleport around at will?
As for hacker what practical applications does it have?

It has been a while,what updates have been added to Halo 4?
Sole purpose of shitting on AA's sounds good to me.

Make a fucker plummet to his dead after using jetpack?
Dropping someone's HLS?
Popping someone you can't necessarily see out of Camo?
Destoying someone's Sentry?
Shutting down a dude's PV?
Cockblocking a regen field?
How can you not see the uses?
well now we have team regicide and
I'm not saying it would be without complaints, you chose a whole new argument. What you said is that no amount of testing could fix it and I said is that Shadowrun did it beautifully.
As for hacker what practical applications does it have? Have you played and when trying to land that last head shot the player tosses up a hardlight shield? Taking that away would be practical. On a hallway in Adrift you know there is an invis guy with a boltshot but didn't know where, you jam his invis. That's practical.

I can see all those uses but staring to shoot someone earlier trumps them all.
Why stop PV if its going to result in the user getting a shot in first.
You have to be aiming at the person for it to work so Camo is useless might aswell pop a shot off
Regen field and HLS is maybe the only situations its useful. but i rarely see these abilities and they are easily overcome.
Sentry is plain shit.
As for shadowrun yeah Ill agree it worked fine in that.

You're assuming the other person is going to get the first shot every time. The ability to keep someone from using the AA is huge, especially shit players that rely on them. Especially the ones that allow a person to flee.

I assume Microsoft had something to do with it when purchasing FASA.
So you're agreeing with me that it comes down to smart gameplay mechanics implemented in an effective and tested manner.

I agree it worked it shadowrun.
If implemented in Halo I can never see it working. Like i said its just enhanced evade and that pissed people off on its own.
Shadowrun probably would have had success if it was called anything but Shadowrun.
You take a loved RPG franchise, make it an FPS, make it a MULTIPLAYER ONLY FPS, make it have a huge skill gap, then release it into the wild a few weeks before the Halo 3 beta...
Reviewers were confused, casuals were confused, fans of the RPG Shadowrun were confused, then add the cross platform shit (which FASA had to go in an redo per MS' request).
F2P probably would have helped. Make it a DLC model for skins, weapon skins, and maps.
Anything can work in anything if it's done right.
Avoid the Surface with Windows RT.
We have literally like 50 of them at work here, just for testing, and no one is a fan.

Been using one for the last week and it's been a surprisingly great experience.
Didn't shadow run have bloom ?
My experience is the same as steely's. What don't you like about them? (I don't have one, just played with them. Like it better than my iPad though.)
There's a difference between designing a game around bloom and shoving bloom into Halo

Not even a call PM anything. Frankie let me save Halo.
It's not a laptop, it's a tablet. But it's not quite a tablet OS, it's a laptop/desktop OS.
It makes no sense. The touchpad is pretty cool though, but I wish there was some sort of tactile feedback.

I feel like getting drunk and dabbling in mediocrity and disappointment tonight. Anyone up for playing around 4pm PST?

That's what I like about it. All the medical related work I do on my laptop, I can't on my iPad. I'm stuck with whatever apps are available. The fact it even has a USB drive makes a world of difference, for me. I can't do my "work" on my iPad, I can on a surface. I still love my iPad, but this surface is pretty dope.
After Reach, I'd rather they didn't.
To each their own.
I'm not a fan, and neither is anyone that I work with, but if it suits your needs, then by all means.

Technical question. I am playing Killzone 3 and it does environment backgrounds similar to how 343 did them in Halo 4. The difference is that Killzone's images don't appear pixelated when you zoom in on them, so the effect is much more convincing. Are Halo 4's pixelated environment backgrounds a result of hardware limitations or what?

It works for both, that's a beauty of it. Real multi-tasking, USB support, better Home/Start screen experience, and built in stand and very cool keyboard attachment immediately make it superior to the competition in my opinion.

I think Halo 4 would have been a better Halo game if Bungie had made it. Just my opinion though

And to think they was going to do Halo 4 instead of Reach but they changed their mind.

At this point who knows if any studio would have made a better game considering the elements MS probably pressured them into implementing in the game. I'm not going to ever buy the theory that they came up with these independent of CoD.
I just realized you said RT. I've only used 8. Any major differences? Reading up now.

Yea who knows. Next gen cod has to start all over and i hope in general[not just halo] that developers don't copy cod or what ever is big. What i liked about last gen is for the most part games were unique and different. Now every game has xp,perks and all that stuff.
Remember Reach

I prefer Reach to H4 even though i think Halo was done with Halo 3.

My reasons for playing Halo are pretty much gone with this game, hence me not even being enticed to pick it back up unless I want to be profoundly disappointed. I like playing with Halogaf and all but I just get depressed when I play.
Even if MS didn't it's pretty obvious that elements from CoD were put into this game. Shit I don't need but apparently the gaming populace at large does.

They dont need this crap either. Companies look at a succesful game see what they do then try and mimic it, sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. When you already are creating the alternate FPS game, to move close to that game removes your products distinctive factors and lets players hop over to the real game easier.
Halo has built an idea of a game thats been different from CoD in the past so people were usually one side or the other, if you make your game like CoD but not as good of a CoD as CoD you're going to have people leave for CoD because its no longer Halo. !
Yeaaaaa
