Dude I can't even run SWTOR properly, haha. Been wanting to upgrade, but I don't think I'd use a gaming PC enough.
I didn't really care for Far Cry 2, but I'm enjoying 3 quite a bit.

So the stream isn't choppy at all for you guys?
Also, yes, FC3 is awesome but the framerate is awful.

So you're calling Halo 3 a boring, disorganized, horribly repetitive game with tons of mechanics made specifically to nag you or slow you down, clunky shooting, and a worthless narrative?
And Halo 4 an above average game with somewhat interesting characters and a setting that feels fresh in comparison to Halo 3?

Nah, as clearly evidenced Halo 3 was a lot more appreciated than Far Cry 2 was in that comparison.
While I see what you're getting at, I don't think the analogy works.
In your country sure, the U.S. is the Halo market, not Germany [Nor Ireland].
The game was positioned in the marketing to be more than it was. Expectations tainted the games reception.

It's dropping a few frames here and there, but other than that, pretty smooth. I went ahead and followed you against my better judgement...

Nah he's saying that one is a vapid experience full of characters that make you hate playing it and ultimately leaves you with a shallow emptiness once you realize how poorly structured it is and the other is Far Cry 2.
Opinions. Far Cry 2's only redeeming quality was fire propagation. The rest was as un-fun as un-fun can be.
Not when I played the last time. Someone here made fun of me, back then, because I said, that there were no official servers in Europe. This was some weeks, after they released the custom server thing and DICE officially stated, that they will reduce the number of custom servers, in order to provide official ones, in other regions.
I would love to see a custom game browser for Halo, no question. I'm just sick of people being assholes and kicking you for no reason. It's not only in BF3, it's pretty much everywhere, where custom servers are available. But yeah, it's only happening a handful of times.
This is also a thing, that I forget. If you want to play a game and are searching via quick game, it throws you in a custom server, with ridiculous rules, sometimes. It would be much better, if they put you on an official server via quick game.

Which is more redemption than I can offer for Far Cry 3. As repetitive as people claim FC2 to be, it didn't have all that nonsense trash loot and harvesting everywhere, and letting you take on side missions as you saw fit instead of making all the assassination missions the same and giving you one way to tackle hunts. If Far Cry 2 is unfun, it's at least interesting. FC3 isn't even that much.
Not that choppy but the fps seems in the low 20's. Is it the 1080p stream or is the game running like that on your pc?
I've streamed from a console but not pc before. Are you using the same pc to stream that you are playing FC3 on? That would take some bit of processing power for the video, and would kill your gaming performance I would imagine. What are your pc specs if you don't mind me asking?

Why would you ever use quick match? That's asking for trouble, even before people could run their own servers.

Thats FC3 on the Xbox. Framerate is hurl-inducing. Going from CoD (or even Halo) to this almost kills me. Screen tearing everywhere too.
Ooo oh ok oops. When I had my hauppauge recorder there was a huge delay for the video signal, and it was almost impossible to record and game at the same time. I would just use it to record Halo 3 films from theater. Does the game play the same when not recording or streaming?
Yep I was trying to see if there is anybody playing before that happens, maybe even try to get those achievements before they are gone forever. Anybody want to try and set up a one last Halo 2 multiplayer extravaganza?

For a "weapon vidoc" explaining the mechanics behind my what-if sandbox, would you guys prefer spoken commentary/narration or just text explaining them? To clarify, there would be a couple videos:
Instruments of War (basic explanation of the premise)
The Sandbox So Far (Recaps on existing weapons that don't require much change)
Reloaded (Recaps on existing weapons with some moderate changes - see Energy Sword, Boltshot, etc)
And then individual videos for completely new weapons, such as the Combiner.

An analogy then. A man trips and falls in the street. Minutes later he is run over by a car in the same street he tripped in. What you are essentially saying is that the trip killed him, not the car that ran him over. Yeah, it was a misstep to sell ODST at full retail price. It was a misstep to not include a $30-40 SKU that had only the ODST campaign/Firefight. But it's not what "killed Halo". Later Halo titles like Reach and 4 that shifted away from basic ideals of Halo is what is finishing it.

I wouldnt mind a Voice overview.
I said, it should redirect you to an official server. I used it maybe once or twice...
Nevermind, I know, that it is a great feature and Halo would benefit from it.
One more question. I don't really care about stats and such, but would the custom game browser count towards matchmaking stats or to custom game stats?

CEA's terminal are a self-contained story. They are showing 343GS' activities on Installation 04. They were never planned to lead into the story of Halo 4. They give hints. But nothing more. And they did match something in Halo 4: Guilty Spark teases the Didact has a hatred against human. And he has.
At the end you forgot the Reclaimer saga is planned as a trilogy from the beginning. We definitely see some of the information from the books or CEA's terminals in the future games.

ODST never killed Halo ....
I even don´t understand how somone could say this :/
ODST has a great campagne and evoke a real good feeling by playing.
For me it was the last Halo with a good story, and i think it was good that there was no new MP because halo 3 was enuogh, and it was or even is the best Halo to this day.

Halo Wars shot Halo in the foot.
ODST shot Halo in the kneecap.
Reach shot Halo in the shoulder.
Halo 4 shot Halo right in the dick.

So 343 is going to have a trailer of some sorts for the Majestic Map Pack soon. I hope they do it the way Treyarch did for their last map pack. It was kind of a like a ViDoc where the developers talked about the maps and gave us their insights. Much better than an action montage that gives us little to no information.

What does Halo Wars has anything to do with the FPS side of the franchise? The game is good.
ODST is good.
Reach... Ugh. Meh.
Halo 4. Still In Beta. But thanks to Bravo, MP is looking better.

How did Halo Wars shoot Halo in the foot? It was a fantastic game and the most popular RTS on consoles.
This is art.
Perfection. This gif was already in its clean version awesome now it is just perfect
I'M UNIQUE
There's Jay Leno's chin!
But fo realz, I agree that ODST is definitely the most unique. That's the best way to put it for me.
