Hey, don't be bashing the steak toiletbrush. That thing works better than a lot of other products out there. I didn't know that your supposed to spill the egg onto the stove, I'll keep that in mind next time.

You're boring.
Ever thought that the food he uses to make these videos could be almost expired or something?

Overshield and damage boost does not compensate for this:
That's from a match I played. The person in second place nearly got double the amount of points per kill simply because he was playing worse than me. That means that I either need to get double the amount of kills to win barely or I need to stop going for the objective: getting kills. It's a gametype designed around giving bad players a chance and it's unfair, stop trying to defend it.

So we completed the Campaign challenge, which wasn't that hard with two people. Got 40k credits for that, 30k for Spartan Ops, and 20k for War Games, all in one week. I'm liking how 343 isn't taking this progression system as serious as Bungie did.
The Reclaimer one? I had some fun with it actually, it was pretty tough but we had some laughs. The bump in XP actually motivates me to go for the challenges whereas before I didn't really care.

HaloGAF is sucky now
I thought he was still around.
He never posted much as it was.
Also, sometimes I feel like this thread is on repeat.
sssshhhh, no tears now.

I feel like there's the standard halogaf cycle, then within that cycle there is a cycle of complaints about halo 4 that literally repeats itself.

everything will be ok when halogaf turns into destinygaf
I personally just find it amazing that we have multiple cycles within the same |OT|. If we went back in this one, how many ranks discussions would we have? I suppose some of it makes sense, yeah there are a lot of people here disappointed, but at some point... saying it repeatedly doesn't make any one feel better.
On Halo-related news, finally got the "Lone Wolf Legend" achievement. Surprisingly the hardlight shield actually serves a lot of use against zealous Crawlers, although I'm not sure it's still useful enough to outweigh spamming the sentry.
Maybe if the game was worth talking about it'd be different. This is usually when the crazy moments videos are posted and all the crazy ingame screenshots. Instead we just bitch now.

Well, at least the AR vs Precision start argument has evolved a bit into "BR vs DMR".

So I'm doing a custom 3v3 tournament, (although there has been pressure and an interest in making it 4v4), I wanted to run these settings past you guys, just to see what you think. The remakes I have are some of the best IMO.
Team Laddergoat: Me, Xand and DoctorBanjo.
Team doubles champions featuring Sotto Voce: Myyke, AndyTheBlob and Sotto Voce.
The global settings: No AA's, No Radars, No Personal Ordnance, Initial ordinance is in.
Two loadouts in all ganetypes.
Infinity 1- BR, magnum, 2x frags, resupply, dexterity
Infinity 2- Carbine, magnum, 2x plasma, resupply, dexterity
The maps and the gametype settings.
CTF- 5 flags to score, Flag home to score, 15 minutes, 3 second return, 15 second reset.
Maps are: MLG Pit, Leviathan (H2's colossus), MLG Simplex.
Slayer- 50 points, 12 minutes
Maps are: MLG Sanctuary, Haven
KOTH- first to 600, 50 second hill time, progressive hills.
Maps are: Construct (Can anyone show me or tell me the weapon layout for the MLG version of this, please?)
Oddball- First to 350, static spawn, auto pickup disabled.
Maps are: Turf, one of the most beautiful forge maps I've seen, the lighting is really striking.
Two of the above maps will be removed once 343 release the Majestic maps pack. This game needs more small maps.
What do you think? Any thing I should try out?

Flag at home to score, Elzar?
I think I will try to talk to Semmy if he is interested, but we never get a cool teamname now that Laddergoat is already gone
I'll test it out over the weekend, these are pretty small maps you see, especially with sprint.
Here.
Plasma nade spawning would be annoying, maybe make it a pickup? Or do you have it there to increase usage of the Carbine? Also, for CTF, maybe it's just me but 3 seconds seems short for some of those maps, maybe 5 seconds instead?
Sniper is located below sword room.
Rocket Launcher is where Sniper would be in a normal match.
Plasma pistol is in sword room.
Custom powerup varies, in a KOTH game custom will be a 2x Overshield located where the missile pod is in a normal Construct game. In a slayer MLG match the custom is Invisibility and is located at Bottom Gold lift.
Respawn times here:
http://www.vvv-gaming.com/forum/topic/42894-mlg-halo-3-v8-weapon-spawn/
Also the custom first spawns after 120 seconds of the match start.
EDIT:
For the standard weapons (e.g. carbine/BR) they spawn at the following places:
2 Plasma grenades at Top gold.
2 Plasma grenades where each of the explosive barrels are at bottom gold.
1 Carbine and 2 frag grenades where Spartan Laser would spawn in a normal match.
1 Carbine resting next to where the explosive barrels are at Top gold. Another carbine also down Closed street.
1 BR at Middle gold next to the ramp that takes you to Open street.
1 Carbine in Open Purple/Closed purple as well as 1 BR.
Sorry if you didn't understand the callouts, didn't know how else to put it.

Yeah, I'll experiment between 3 and 5, returning the flag in H4 seems finicky to me, like you have to be right on the pole.
Thanks!
Yeah may be
Yes that is exactly what I meant with the words I used to form the sentence about you being a virgin.

Dexterity switched out for Stability? Would remove he randomness of flinch? Both would help the Carbine a lot though. Once I got stability, nothing beats steady reticule.
ElzarTheBam

Stability can't be added as a pre made game loadout, only as a personal loadout.
And I can't trust some (all of them) of the scumbags in this tournament to uphold honour rules.
I'm so glad 343 got rid of all the gray in Forge
Got any gameplay vids available?
Ah my mistake. Is this just a tournament between friends or something large you are setting up?
1st place gets 20,000 Elzar is generous.

I'm pretty sure you can't use stability in game loadouts.
Hey guys, I just thought I'd let any mapmakers out there know that forgehub is running a 2v2 tournament where you can play and submit your own 2v2 maps for consideration to be played on during the contest. Full details in the link above.

Erosion has the worst forge palette ever, what the hell were they thinking?!
Nope. Sorry.
Between friends.
They get to give me a massage. I am generous.
Will OddOne be playing in this tournament?

It does add variety to the forge maps. It's still not fantastic, but it's definitely an improvement. Really wish we had custom pics in the voting section though.

Grab Haven from my file share, GT - runNOKYARDrun.
It was setup specifically for 2v2 competitive. Perfectly symmetrical spawns, no random anything, standard weapons on map (30 sec team BR, central Light Rifle & Carbine, 60 sec Needler, no DMR on map in case you wanted to play BR only), grenades are paired with matching weapons, limited ordnance drops (Sticky Det, Railgun, Speed Boost) are on static and 120 second pickup timers. Lifts added to drop downs to aide movement.
Set the Random Ordnance timer in the Sayer settings to 120/120 so it acts like a static timer. Setup for 2v2 CTF as well.

Cool, will do when I get back to the box. Thanks.
