I'd personally hate that. But I think the story begs for some element of it. As long as they never swap out the Covenant for Insurrectionists, basically. That would just suck.

I'd hardly call you.
My sentiments exactly.
RE: H2 Narrative
I though it was really interesting what they did with the story. Not a fan of what they did overall, but I though the way they expanded on the Covenant from their perspective and gave people that look really was some of the juiciest stuff for those of us who really wanted the universe to develop. I just feel like they didn't go far enough with it. I feel the Arbiter's story just kind of diminished somewhere between Halo 2 and 3, and at the same time, even though fully knowing it's not realistic to expect, wish they went even further into the workings and history of the Covenant hierarchies. Maybe even some stuff like what is in the terminals in Halo 4, just not in terminals because they are fucking stupid.
Yeah, I agree. The way the story is heading now I can't see it not happening... Though to be honest I just don't really want to see it. I'd much rather the story focus on a bigger threat like the Precursor/Flood return or something.
Fuckin' pixel scissors.
What a terrible trend I started. I'm so sorry.
Thank You based Rosso.
All these gifs make me want to go watch Mission Impossible II again.

You've been a real avatar slut lately.
I know, I know. I have trouble deciding what really suits me and since I'm posting in football gaf more often now my avatar matches well there.

I thought the last one you had was pretty cool.
I have a feeling this thread is about to derail at an alarming pace so I may as well start off the gif train.

I've been wondering the same thing. I tried to make mine transparent in Photoshop yesterday, didn't work. I failed.
Oh man I just vomited
You have a larger version somewhere? You could just drop the opacity of white in the blending modes.
Frankie's hitting the stage.

Edit: Done. Halo 4 won Outstanding achievement in connectivity at the DICE Awards. No idea what they mean by "Connectivity".

Waypoint terminals pay off?

Lol... actually didn't going to the Halo Waypoint App through Halo 4 crash your Xbox at launch? Lol.
Graphical achievements makes sense, but connectivity?
I guess I'd have to understand what that technically means first, but they basically fucked up the system bungie nailed as far as I can understand. Meh
I guess The Academy Interactive Arts & Sciences folks don't dig that deep into games when it comes to certain categories. I mean, I know Halo 4 is a good game (just not a good Halo game by our standards) but it has its problems. Is Black Ops 2 plagued with even more problems? It's an interesting choice.
343 worked hard on the game but it's 'connectivity' features have been riddled with problems. One of them just started working properly 10 days ago after all.

Good to know it wasnt just me. Netflix just shut off.
Why do people always assume that if they can't connect to Xbox LIVE, the whole service must be down, and it certainly isn't anything on my end?

because other people said it on twitter from different parts of the country, mind blowing eh?

Join In Progress is the worst thing to ever happen to gaming.
Yeah... no.
It's definitely a good thing and something that social Halo lists could use. But the way it is currently implemented is frustrating as heck. Honestly, Halo Reach and Halo 4 both have some moderately good ideas that were just implemented really badly.

Mmmm no, but leave the match without penalties is worse.

I'm not specifically talking about Halo with that sentence. I'm playing Black Ops 2 right now and oh my god it is just the worst. I do not want to join 10 games in a row that I'm automatically going to lose because I joined a losing team.
Why is it so hard for developers to just add an option to only join game lobbies?
Seriously? What's so much better about joining a game where you're going to lose automatically then just entering a lobby? You get in the action like 10 seconds faster? Game lobbies don't end when people leave? Just punish quitters harshly.

Someone play Halo with me in, umm, thirty minutes.
Totally agree. Who would have guessed that removing all the heavy vehicles would make it more fun? Uncanny!
In games where performance only counts towards a solo progression, JiP gets you into the action faster thus getting you into your progression faster. It's why I said that social playlists should use it. In social it shouldn't matter if you win or lose, because it's social. Notice how I'm using social to describe what I'm talking about.
Also, if you stick with the lobby, you shouldn't be joining a game in progress 10 times in a row.
ouch
