Yeaaaaaap. I didn't even bother trying out for this thing. There are people who can just sit back and play all day (and/or boost with others). I'd even prefer if it were a random draw (ie, play x amount of games and you've got a chance to win)

Now I would never say I'm that much of a badass to purposely shoot a nade out of the air but I did have a very awesome moment in regicide the other day.
While I was king and being hunted all over Haven I was pistoling another player who threw a sticky right in front of my shot. Amazingly I've played enough Halo to know this can happen and not freak. After I saw his sticky blow up mid air I managed to finish the kid off with my remaining pistol shots.
So certainly it can be random and to have it happen to you can be frustrating, but I would say it's just another little detail that really can add some exciting moments to the game.

Asking why a user was banned is frowned upon. Ten different people asking why a user was banned, speculating on why a user was banned, ignoring the people above them asking the question (and having the question answered already), and generally filling two or more pages with meta-commentary is not only irritating, it's also unwise. I don't want to see two pages like this in the future:
I skipped a few and stopped keeping track after a page and a half. I can only assume it went on for longer. Somebody else already linked the meta-commentary thread so I don't think I need to. Three of you have now died for the sins of HaloGAF, and on the third day they will rise again.
Holy shit, they all got banned
Hey guys what's going on in this
I wish NeoGAF were like Yu-Gi-Oh! and you could sacrifice users to summon stronger members.

I know a lot of you guys were talking about how during this long after Halo 3's launch you were still playing customs. Shadowrun is cheap and I've been having a blast, played some matched with Tawpgun and Cyren yesterday, so I decided to make a video talking about my in game decisions and what goes into a round, at least playing solo.

If you guys like the video or the game, I'd be happy to play some customs with anyone.
Maybe this could hold you guys over until Halo 4 playlists or patches com around.

Ugh, makes me feel like shit when you put them in one post like that :/
Also, guy in the Buy/Sell/Trade thread is selling his massive game collection(individually, not bundled.) There might be something you guys are looking for:

Might get on for some MLG Customs tonight. Hopefully I can find some peeps to play with.

Not sure if this has been posted already (it's from November 12) but I just found a blog post by Kory Hubbell with a bunch of concepts he did for Halo 4. Cool character design stuffs, and a few storyboards too. Highlight:

One of the last concept arts kinda confirms the Didact fell in a slipspace thing.
Some cool stuff there. ButNot sure if this has been posted already (it's from November 12) but I just found a blog post by Kory Hubbell with a bunch of concepts he did for Halo 4. Cool character design stuffs, and a few storyboards too. Highlight:

that still makes me cringe. Egh
Please design a helmet that only x % of the population will ever get.

You know I don't care if it's 343 or Bungie it never fails to amaze me how damn great the concept art and other stuff for these games are. It's the one thing that never ever fails to amaze me every damn time.
Me too. What EXACTLY is meta commentary?
Armor Lock makes me want to kill someone. Anniversary doesn't have AL right? Thinking about reinstalling those.
Holy shit... Phil Lynott is still alive?
FUCK THE META COMMUNITY
Holy shit... Phil Lynott is still alive?
From what I understand, it's discussion about specific posters or their posting quality, and comments like "why is this important" and "this thread sucks".

Meta means (in this context at least) "of its own kind". Meta commentary is comments about comments. It's basically when you're discussing the thread you're in, rather than the topic of that thread. Obviously a little bit happens naturally, but when the signal to noise ratio becomes unbearable, people are going to get banned.

If Halo hasn't been mentioned for three weeks, that would be going too far, but yes, a certain level of OTness is to be expected for big community threads like this, because you're a community, not just a Halo discussion board.

My apologies. I am the worst recent offender. Sorry Ozzy.
Also Shadow of the Colossus is 10 bucks to PS plus owners. Worth the buy?

Yea. I have to say Halo 3 really topped out design wise on the armors. Reach had some good ones but even they seemed to be lacking a bit of the charm of those in Halo 3. Ironically that was when they started becoming a bit more complicated design wise.

The disc version (that also has Ico on it) has been $10 a couple of times, so I'd just wait until it goes on sale again.
But your post has reminded me that I need to get Tokyo Jungle from that sale.

I miss the Marathon helmet. There's no reason 4 couldn't have included all helmets form the past.
And really? We can't even have the Mark IV helmet? The original Master Chief helmet?
Yes, definitely.

I reckon they didn't include the Security helmet due Marathon being a Bungie IP though.
Um, what? And certainly you mean Mark VI, like the one in your Reach pic.
Wouldn't be surprised if there was some legal stuff surrounding the Security helmet's design since it's just the Marathon Security Officer's helmet and once Bungie took off they didn't use it anymore. See also: Marathon logo in CEA, possibly some emblems going from 3 to Reach to 4.
Also, that's a picture of Mark VI, which is totally in the game. It's the best looking helmet the game has. Wish H4 had Mark V, I'd use it in a heartbeat. Can't stand the abundance of helmets in H4 that just look like crummy faces trying to be badass. War Master looks like a Spawn wannabe. Defender looks like a crying clown. Half the H4 armors have visors that are basically just eyeballs.
On the topic of armor, I wish there was a way to toggle the undersuit to be fully black. There's a real contrast problem with the H4 armor sets, and everything just kind of blends together, especially on the cards and in the armory. Maybe it wouldn't work because of the armor pieces being more separated than before, I dunno. I'm no artist.

Too much bandwidth.
For real though, there is a ton of armour in this game, I could see disc space being a viable excuse, well, if someone can explain to me why the install from the Multiplayer disc is only 2.0GB, combine that with Spartan Ops Season 1.0 and you have 3.5GB.
That's like, half a disc of space left for more stuff :/

Oh yea. It was legal issues without a doubt. Microsoft no longer owns Bungie and in giving Bungie freedom, they let Bungie keep the rights to Marathon. Hence anything related to that went with Bungie.
Best Armor in Halo 4 without a doubt. I like the Recruit armor and I wanna say Warrior armors also. The rest though are meh at best.

Dat conflicting answers. I'll probably buy. Also picked up CS:GO for ps3. Using a mouse and keyboard and shitting on everyone is awesome.
Oh I was just commenting on whether or not you should play the game at all.

Oh lol I know that's what I was asking. Worth it to buy and worth it in general.

I don't understand how a game can ship with a netcode this bad. The last match I played had two host changes and was still rubberbanding like crazy.
Sometimes I wonder if nameplates not being on Waypoint is an IP issue. They'd have to have the Marathon graphic for the nameplate on 343's site. You can't also find any reference to Halo 3's Marathon Man achievement on Waypoint.
Also slight tangent: is it me, or have they really buried the whole Waypoint Halo GS rank thing on their site?
A single Content Item generally cannot exceed 2GB on the 360. If you remember, I based my theory on Halo 4's content around that fact.
