I'm sorry while I love the flood in Halo 1 I think Halo 2 had the better flood to be honest. I loved how they dodged around a lot more. Sure they were weaker but damn they were like a squirrel on crack. I loved it. Ideally I'd like a cross between Halo 1 and 2's flood. I liked the toughness of those in Halo 1 but that AI in 2 was a lot better.
OMG. Is that real? I so hope so. I have a new Wallpaper if so. Also PS3 very visable there. Course we knew it was coming to PS3 but still that is awesome. Now to pick which version to get. lol
Welcome back Mr Stinkles.
Can't believe I didn't know that Adrift had Random Drop points with rocket launchers as a possibility until today. Four of them. I had never seen them pop up before, then just now the enemy team in a CTF game got two in a row, dropped right on their side of the map. We got jack shit. If they hadn't been totally incompetent, they would have had two easy caps. Global ordnance frustrates me.

But the same joke 100 times is just not funny any more, got something more creative or unique for us to laugh at?
Ok that one still got a smirk
It's a joke for me that you keep asking, there is a reason they are called PRIVATE messages

People have been thirsty for good Halo. Perhaps soon they will have a playable game once 343 gets on that Options patch TU.
Haha Slt just batmaned the crap out of H4 cover.
Also just noticed the updated OP post. Goofy stuff in there.
Took a little break from Halo over Christmas and New Year, returned tonight and had a blast. I'd been getting a bit fed up with it at the back end of last year, but whatever the problem, it seems I've gotten it out of my system.
Maybe some of you lot who are still down on it should give it another try?

It's always more fun with friends/players from your local area. For me I found connection quality is often the most important factor to enjoying the game followed closely by friends to play games with.
Personally I found over the last month particularly that JiP and connection quality has improved in matchmaking. Sure it's not perfect but that's the reality of online gaming and available players/regions moreover than the game or netcode itself.

Bishop Rifle! I KNEW they were going for the Chess set at some point. I wonder if that is/was the Heavy class Promethean.
I noticed exactly this last night. I don't ever remember rockets dropping on that map. Sure it isn't a tweaked version of the map they silently swapped in? Weekly updates and all. If so, and they do end up showing up more often, that could be helpful for disrupting base turtling. I wish there were heatmaps on Waypoint.
I looked in Forge, they're there on the disc variant, which isn't updated when the matchmaking variant is (we know this from the Complex exploit, which is still possible on the disc variant).
If they want to reduce the base turtling, make those rockets spawn in the center, not a random spot practically inside a base. Bestowing a divine gift onto one team and not the other because some dice roll decided one team was about to get fucked over just rubs me the wrong way.

AAs as personal ordnance? Pretty cool idea.
My favorite is the Overshield as a pick up. Very nice.
edit:Uh oh, Ninja went offline. There go 40% of his viewers

Yeah, I figured as much. That's why I would like to see the heatmaps, because I don't know some times if something's just an extremely effective tactic, or if it's just a problem with how my team is playing the map.
When you successfully capture and hold a base, every 40 seconds or so a "resupply" drop occurs, which brings in power weapons.
After the 3rd TD I put the Celtics game on.

yeah this is embarrassing
So I'm playing slayer on Wreckage, and my team is destroying the other team. (2 or 3 have left because they're unhappy with the drubbing.)
It's near the end of the game, and I hear someone on my team say "he's up on top, and he's got a railgun!" just before I see 3 separate "bad guy killed teammate x" messages.
But we're just two kills away from ending this thing. How hard could it be to end this?

(I'm really sad that no medals show up, because it's theater. I'm actually surprised Steitzer's 'Next kill wins!' can be heard, to be honest.)

Yea The Pit OS drops right like the H3 Pit OS spawns. Pretty cool. The Pit is a very righteous remake.

Team only so you can see team mates X's.
It has been there for the entire tournament.
MrGreencastle

Yeah it is.
Loved that question, with the answer, "I don't approve of smoking".
Ninja's stream is pretty good, as obnoxious as he is, he's pretty much the only thing interesting going on for competitive Halo right now that I've seen.
Gotcha. What about disappearing? Ran up to a Sniper and it fizzled away in front of me.

I think when a new drop occurs, the drops that were there before fizzle out. Helps keep the amount of power weapons in rotation in check. Though I still think there's a bit too many.

Ghostayame deserves a lot of credit with those settings. That's some solid Halo, there. Can't wait for a playlist 343, as well as that TU
See, I can just never get the hang of effectively using the Thruster Pack. I've tried and tried, and it just feels so useless to me. Then I get owned by someone using one, or I see clips like this and try again, before switching back to my trusty Hologram.
On the ground or in an ordnance drop? I don't think the base resupply ordnance is supposed to disappear, but I may be totally wrong. If it was on the ground, that's just the normal, ridiculously short despawn timer. I think it's something like 12 seconds.

"We decided to focus this next map pack on smaller, more 4v4 based gametypes. We knew that players LOVE complex so we thought that would be a good size to use on these new maps!"

IGN article link
Seems interesting to me, I'd speculate some possible features from this could be:
1. Home automation through your xbox, smartglass, mobile/tablet e.g control your home security, lighting etc.
2. In game streaming to other devices or web apps.
3. YouTube rendering from the stream.
4. Wii U style handheld screen features.
5. Remote gaming.
6. Gaming cloud services e.g. iCloud.
7. Xbox live spin off service similar to On Live.
