Halo |OT14| They call it Halo

I never fully appreciated the "30 fps sucks" bandwagon on GAF until I played CoD right before Halo (first CoD I've played any decent amount)... Holy shit. Halo looks like a slide show after the 60fps smoothness.

I'm now officially on the "60 fps for Halo" bandwagon.

I just decided to take a look at the Waypoint forums for a little. Man, people are not happy lol.

I am going to try and play a little. May document further if anything more is crazy. Took a quick cell video of melee and weapon switching.

And the mods over there have grown even more controlling. The other day I posted something akin to "I agree with everything the OP has said - All very good points"

Was then warned by a mod that all responses need to have extra content to add to the discussion. And that there are no petitions on Waypoint.

They're just on edge I guess. The whole forum is just a bunch of Cyrens now lol

For all the salt here on GAF, we generally have some fairly well thought out and interesting discussions on the game (although sometimes we all jump on one point for 10 pages). Over on Waypoint things are pretty salty all the time. It's rare to see anything brought up and universally praised as a positive.

Did Halo 4 seriously please anyone outside of the heavy team SLRPers?

People who love lighting in campaign probably shit their pants.

Also the "peak population" recorded on Halocharts yesterday (Jan 14) was the lowest ever. Just 88K at the peak. RIP in pieces.

Is the camera fucked up or are all your weapons/equipment assests scaled up?

The whole camera is fucked up. It is like the game is zoomed in permanently. Running feels weird, because it bobs around and looks like you're going no where.

Noticing weird things like pop out. Instead of textures popping in, when I get closer to objects the textures are deresing.

I can't play like this, Google it. Apparently I am not the only one that has had this bug.

And quitting and reloading brings the bug back. Fack.

And restarting the level does it too. What the fuck.

Oh GOD, INFINITY MULTIPLAYER LOADING THIS WAY TOO

I took one for the team, uploading to fileshare.



Quote for gamertag.
If you upload a recent file you can't name it? You have to view and save it to name it?
 
Shit I just realized that I've been a level 110 for so many games now.... just wasting double xp matches......

If only it wasn't required to be incredibly high to enjoy these playlists. Ahh well lol

I miss Halo 2.

Assault on Waterworks. Getting a lone arm by sneaking in the bomb from your base.

Halo has never felt the same.

So ordinances can drop now Suppressors in dominion, whaaaaaa?
I think Dominion has been like that since launch. I remember seeing normal loadout weapons in the global ordnance or maybe base/resupply/whatever ordnance.

As far as I remember only the Incinerator and the Binary Rifle are in Dominion, most of the normal weapons are Human.

It differs from map to map. Resupplies on Exile and Longbow drop human weapons (BR, DMR, Shotgun, Rockets, Sniper, Frags, SAW - no Sticky Detonator that I've ever seen). Vortex and Meltdown have Forerunner palettes instead, dropping Suppressors, Light Rifles, Scattershots, Incineration Cannons, and Binary Rifles. It's been like that since launch, as far as I know.

The weighting toward heavy weapons as resupplies build up is nothing short of a disaster.

Was there ever a leaked Halo 1 Beta/Alpha?

This guy on Polycount says he has access to a potentially Bungie-internal Halo 1 Dev Kit that got thrown out and has multiple pre-release builds installed.

He doesn't seem to interested in digging around in the game, but he did notice a couple differences with the final verion.
Namely, Keyes looks different, and a lot of the textures do as well.

With 5 months to develop, I'm not sure if they ever had even had a beta version as we know it so much as build discs when it was near final ready to be RTM. Hence why it appears his version is Halo 1 with some alternate textures.

I never remember hearing about a leak, and the truly interesting version would be the RTS Halo.

What is the significance of the number 420?

its what your IQ goes to when you smoke weed.



lol at that Forge vid, that shit was funny and very very sad.....
I take it this game still isn't going anywhere... it's so weird not having a Halo game to play.
Should play some Reach before my Live runs out... Halo 4 has made me completely hate LIVE and the xbox, halo was the only reason I had either.

Eh, I meant alpha, whatever.

But still, no leaked pre-release builds?
