The bulletin gives me hope.

And I just started Forza Horizon after not playing Gran Turismo 3 for the PS2. I have rediscovered my love of racing games.

Horizon is amazing, I liked it more than Forza 4. Although, I still thinking they saved Forza 5 for the next xbox, I'm sure it will be a Day-One title...

I just updated my iTunes... anyone else in love with the new version?

Halo.

EDIT:
Going back to the Xbox Display stuff for a bit, I found this funny in the thread about it on the Gaming side.

That could actually be the new interface for the next xbox.... [URL="http://www.computerandvideogames.com/385560/microsoft-xbox-live-ads-a-success-more-investment-expected/"]if you take this in account...[/URL]
 
I think I will go on a halo fast until all the updates drop. The virgin gaming challenge really sucked the fun out of halo - I am glad that they have so many plans for once it's gone

Personally I thought that was a great update - thanks a lot frankie!
 
FUCK Snowbound.

FUCK Boundless.

I remember a game on Snowbound (when it had shield doors) with my brother in doubles and we were down 7 vs 22 kills.

I swept the new shotgun spawn pick up and went on a running riot to win 25 vs 23 kills with a trio of kills from my brother playing all careful like. Nasty map and settings that one when it first released.

Sweet revenge on shield/shotty campers.

And it is into this chaos that I enter? Oh gosh...

I guess I'll start with the New Member Survey...

How long have you been a member of NeoGAF? How long have you lurked?

I've been lurking since about midway through |OT|6, and have been waiting for account activation since then.

How old are you? What country or state are you posting from? (Optional)

I'm 24, and hail from the Best Coast state of California, though I'm originally from North Carolina.

How long have you been a Halo fan? Have you played all the games?

I've been a minor fan since Halo 1 release, but got really serious around the time Halo PC came out. I played that ish, as well as Custom Edition, and it was glorious... For a time.

What mode do you spend most of your time in?

Multiplayer all day every day. I've been enjoying Spartan Ops more than I liked Firefight in Reach, but still light doses of that. Also, for some reason Halo 4's campaign is the one I have the least problem replaying a million times out of the whole series.

What is your favorite playlist?

I really liked Team Regicide when it was popular, and have been a fan of SWAT since Halo 2, though I had played similar settings in H1/PC. That said, if I'm playing by myself and actually want to have fun, I still end up living in Infinity Slayer. Don't judge me.

Help us get to know you better. (Optional)

I was a pretty epic stream lurker before launch as I'm a huge fan of Twitch.TV and have been a member there for a long time. I've watched u4iX, YourExWife, Juices, and others play from time to time, and even Tashi's stream when my internets can handle it. I've played some games with ExWife a while back and chatted with different peeps on stream chats and such, and y'all seem to be a pretty neat bunch from time to time!

All that said, I kind of disappeared after launch because I was either playing the game or being stupid busy, but I'm not stupid enough to ask you guys to catch me up on things ;)

AFK teammates. in Halo 3. In 2013.

Fix your NAT, and we should try this again during the weekend or better hours.

It ridiculous how long it took when you joined. I was getting matches pretty well on my own in TS and then we get AFKers in 2013.

But 17 and 0 on High ground was alright in that first game. A running Riot is always fun.
 
Dead Halo 4 playlists.jpg
So, who want to bet which playlist will be removed in order to introduce "Forge Test"?
I would say Team Regicide, since is the one where I have more fun right now, and Bungie/343 seems to have a tendency to remove those...
But they could very well remove the Crimson playlist... (and thus, removing Extraction in a single move, two birds with one shot)

Are those things still around?

I think not, but I could be wrong, they never got outside the States, right?
 
Enjoyed the bulletin, makes me miss Frank's updates of old though.

Never Forget.

Well, I will do this survey too...

How long have you been a member of NeoGAF? How long have you lurked?

I've been lurking since about the last part of |OT4|, and a few months later I created my account, I was waiting for activation until today,
yesterday.

How old are you? What country or state are you posting from? (Optional)

I'm 17. I'm from Sinaloa, Mexico. (No, I'm NOT a sicario or a drug dealer; people tend to be wary of me when I answer that question, lol)

How long have you been a Halo fan? Have you played all the games?

Since 2002, fall in love with Halo after playing the game in a cousin's home, I got the xbox and Halo in Xmas(2002), completed the campaign like 8 times until I was able to bet my cousin, when H2 launched... I completed the campaing at least 25 times in Heroic, I had a profile for every member in my family (lol)... I didn't have LIVE till early 2006). I remember Halo as the first videogame I have in my memory, even when I have the SNES and N64, and photos of me playing with those consoles, I really don't remember playing in those consoles, through I still play in my N64 from time to time...

What mode do you spend most of your time in?

In Internet: GAF, videogames news, a bit of twitter, Minecraft (both PC and XBLA) and I play Halo when I have friends to play with, I really can't stand Halo 4 for too long without a team to play with. Once I can't stand multiplayer anymore, I play Spartans Ops, to relax and to keep ranking up. Hope skill ranks arrives soon, and are visible in-game...

What is your favorite playlist?

In Halo 4? Team Regicide.
In Reach: Super Slayer and Squad Slayer.
Halo 3? Lone Wolves and Squad Battle(A bit of Team Snipers too)
Halo 2: Rumble Pit, Team Slayer, Team Skirmish and Team Hardcore.
In Halo Wars? 3v3 standar or 2v2 deathmatch.

Help us get to know you better. (Optional)

I'm male, hmm, I prefer the BR, Thrusther Pack, Stability, Shielding, the
puma
warthog and the beam rifle.
My favorite food is seafood
and salt much salt
, only the one from my city. (You may have hear of Mazatlan? Do NOT eat there, is the worse place to eat...)
And hum. I like trains.
zoojoos and barns

That's it.

PS: If anyone want to play some Halo add me, GT: Kitsune MX, just said you're from GAF. (Although it's more likely that I'll not talk, my English is not that good yet. But I do understand you, most of the time, anyways. ;] )

Bite my if there're some mistakes in my spelling and grammar above (or here), I'm on a rush, wanna pee.
Note: None of the spoilers in this post are truly spoilers.

Also Halo 3's netcode is still turble compared to Reach.
 
Re: The Bulletin

It would be a lie to say Frank hasn't been good to us, and it's rare to see any admission of mistakes (although I think we'd disagree on what all those mistakes were).

However, in the end they're just words, and at this point I don't know how much faith I have in 343 as a 300 person unit turning Halo 4 into a game I really want to play, day in, day out.

I will obviously continue to check out the game, give them a chance and I guess we'll find out.

Completely off topic, but can someone explain to me the point of SmartGlass?

I just downloaded it for my iPhone 5 and am really struggling to see the point? I'm sure I'm missing something, but it just seems like you can use it to navigate the Xbox dashboard and send messages slightly easier? Does it do anything else or?

You can access your stats when using it while playing Halo 4.

If you need to understand the "point" of it, I'd watch the E3 reveal/concept trailers.
It'd be hard to argue the current approach reaches that, but I thought the "point" was fairly clear.

Quoted for crimson.

Excellent. People shouldn't spend their money on sub par maps.

Yeah, I feel the same way. At this point, anything they say is meaningless. They actually have to take action.

Horizon is really great, but I still very much prefer a game like Forza 4. Forza 4 set the bar really high and I can't even begin to think how Turn10 will outdo themselves next gen. If Forza 5 is indeed a launch title for the next xbox, I'll be in line day 1.

Halo: So excited about doubles coming back, even though its a few weeks away and looks like a temp playlist. Hey, maybe if people keep playing it they'll keep it in like they did Swat.....you know what to do people.

Hmm. I remember people making a big fuss over it at E3, I just never really paid any attention. I was quite underwhelmed using it for the first time after hearing the hype. Though I guess I can see how that would be useful. Anything would be better than to navigate the clusterfuck that is Waypoint directly

Truth be told I only downloaded it because someone in AusGAF suggested it.

new itunes sucks. no art preview for selected song. can't choose to put column browser on left in list view, forces you to have it on the top which is horrible for long lists ie artists, they removed cover flow view.

it's like halo 4. a shiny but dumbed down irritating to navigate UI. removed or changed shit for no reason at all.
