Halo |OT14| They call it Halo

Bungie finally got rid of their halo database I guess, just when my HDD with all my H3 pics and vids died. :(

Yeah it's a shame we can't do that yet in H4. I wish bungie.net could have just passed everything, EVERYTHING...over to waypoint.

Don't worry, I'm sure Destiny will have awesome screenshots.

I don't have a problem with loadouts. With a balanced sandbox they can work, IMO.

Why the hell do ordnance drops hurt you? Not just the ones that fall from the sky, but the ones that teleport also damage you.

I was backtracking from someone holding a boltshot under the base in Valhalla and the sniper "spawned" in my path, not only blocking me... but also taking half of my shields, which was enough to let the douche with the boltshot to kill me.

My defining moment of ordnance was when I was playing FFA on Haven and then an energy sword falls from the sky and blows me to high hell.

I had some awesome times playing btb in H3. Plenty of this.

Oh man, that was crazy fun. Is the Gravity Hammer even in this game? You would hardly think it if you looked at the maps' weapon drops. Everything is Needlers, Sticky Dets, and Scattershots, with more interesting weapons like the Concussion Rifle and Hammer relegated to extremely rare personal Ordnance drops.
 
They need to get film rendering back online. I recorded a clutch instance of me running past a dude in the middle of a firefight to grab the Simplex flag, jump back over his head to donkey punch him with the flag, and then immediately kill his teammate who was rounding the corner to get a capture. Feels good man.

Wow, that last-second conversion was nice. Wish they'd hurry up and take Extraction out of the paywall/no population desert. Default settings aren't very good, so copy and paste the settings AGL is using.

Haha, wow. Never had something like that happen! Sucks :\

Sounds awesome. I've actually had a few moments in-game where I've felt like a complete bad-ass and would have loved to grab a recording... but meh. I don't see rendering happening any time soon... It's taken them what, 3 months to get fileshares working? Plus another month on top of that for fileshare support on their site? I cringe just thinking about how long it would take them to introduce a rendering service.

Doesn't CoD have direct to Youtube or something? That would be nice.
 
Gonna be honest here: unless there's a direct feed download included, I do not want Render To Youtube as a feature. It does nothing for its intended audience of machinimators if we have to download compressed video off of youtube before even using it.

Grifball up early for anyone else?

EDIT: Haven't found a match yet. I think it's showing up but it's not matching anyone.

Wow, I never noticed how awful the Hammer sounds in Halo 4. All you hear during a Grifball match is "pew pew pew". It's awful. God, I hope they get a new sound director for Halo 5.

Hahahahaha



Is Grifball really fucking instant respawn? Fix your fucking shit. When is that TU coming?
 
The problem with the Hammer noises is that like 90% of the good sound it makes (in Halo 4) is bass on a certain level that just plain doesn't show up as effectively on televisions. People with super HD headphones might have better luck hearing it, but listening to the raw sound it's kind of baffling they decided on keeping the sound the way it is. Sounds too much like mechanical birdcalls without the bass.
 
I disagree. Infinity Slayer is a hot, chaotic mess, which is fun sometimes but not as the baseline experience.

This isn't about ultra competetive vs casual.

This is about fairness. You can have fun under settings that can be competetive. Even with vehicles and shit. But you can't be competetive under silly fiesta bullshit settings.
Agreed completely. It's important that everything be competitively viable, and that doesn't mean that you are playing hardcore tournament settings, it simply means that the maps, settings, weapon/vehicle placements are fair, so that the better team wins, not the team that got lucky due to random elements.
Ew
Two players enter and swing hammers at each other. Host leaves. Thats Halo.
lol

Sound badass on my A50.
