Guys,
I'm working through some stuff and some stuff is happening in my life right now so for the next few weeks maybe longer I won't be posting much if at all. Your all good people and I like you all. I'll still read from time to time but I figure real world stuff needs more of my time.

lmfao, I can't wait to see the next set of garbage achievements.
That list is actually far better than what we'll most likely get. And all for no real reason. Sometimes I think the team behind the achievements is trolling us on purpose.

I'm debating writing a spinoff campaign to accompany my multiplayer shit. It involves an ONI-sanctioned squad of Spartans sent to investigate an Insurrectionist movement residing on a Shield World. Ten missions, one of which is a "hub world." You do Rashomon-style transitions between squadmates. y/n/m
We will get TU news tonight. bsangel confirmed it.
hmm.
You should get Halo off your mind for a bit
Hope we get footage of the red x's in action. See if the fixed the indicators as well.
Double hope TU is playable at PAX
Triple hope the TU has more custom options, cut gametypes, and weapon tweaks.

I think it's clear that the Spartan IVs were created to become the enemy in Halo 5. Osman leads them, and they have shields. Brutes got shields in Halo 3 and became our main foe. Elites had shields, we fought them too. Prometheans had shields as well...
Irrefutable.
Irrefutable.
Knights from the middle ages had shields, does that mean we travel to the past in Halo 5 and fight them?

I'm sorry but killing people from any sort of distance was a chore in Halo 2. Personally, I'd love a Halo 2 remake but that game needs its improvements and shouldn't just be remade. Halo 2 needs what it needed back in 2004: A single shot, consistent rifle that takes skill to use.
Pistol battles > BR battles. If they just kept the Halo 2 BR exactly the same and added a 4sk H1 Pistol with a rifle skin*, then I think that would do the game justice.
*Although I would like for them to just bring it back and call it the Magnum with the other pea shooter labeled as a Pistol. Think Boltok Magnum vs Snub Pistol in Gears; they can live in harmony B]
Hunters and Jackals had physical shields.. Watchers made HLS's.. I think you may be on to something.
Good luck killing people from this distance with the Halo 2 BR, even scoped.

RIP unquestionably great maps.

If we fought other Spartans I think I would sell all of my Halo games.
..except for H1 and LE H2 :]
Reviews and hype don't do much for me anymore. It's pathetic how little time I spend gaming these days. I used to poke through games almost every night; so far this year I think I've played one game of Halo 4 and nothing else, so I just sort of follow my gut and pick up the few special releases that appeal to me.
I remember in the Halo 3 days I would play from around 8pm to 3 or 4 in the morning, then wake up at 7 to go to class. Those were the days.

Epitaph and Snowbound had shields. You basically fought those maps.
Growing up and having responsibilities sucks.
Does your farm have animals, too?
Jesus how big is your lawn?
How large is your lawn? I use a push mower and it takes me over 2 hours to cut my lawn, it's the only workout I get.

Once again I like the aesthetics. It reminds me of the first level of Reach. Also love the trees and skybox. We'll see how it plays.
Spoiler: BTB plays like shit. This map will play like shit.
Assuming no BTB fix. Would be interesting to see how Halo 4's BTB maps stack up with good settings.

Our opinions disagree my good friend. I find BTB fun. I use it to warm up or unwind when I do terrible with HaloGaf teammates in Throwdown!

I have some grass growing in between the cracks in my concrete "yard", does that count?
Hearing developers talk about how high their products score in user research sessions is really off-putting to me for some reason.
I'm also a little confused, they say it's functionally symmetric, but one base has a mancannon to the center, the other doesn't. One has a lift between the two levels of the base, the other doesn't. One even has a jump from mid straight into the base but the other doesn't. I might have missed something, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Look at it like this: you're playing CTF and you grabbed the flag. If you're red, that means the base you're leaving doesn't have the mancannon to middle and you have to walk it up that ramp. With the mancannon, the physics impulse continues with the flag after you die and the momentum carries it all the way forward. With the ramp, you get shot and die and your team has to go farther to retrieve it. How is that symmetric? Red looks to be easier to get both into from mid with the jump and out of to mid with the cannon. And maybe the rhetoric surrounding Harvest prerelease is biting them in the ass, but I don't really trust them when they say it's the best CTF map they've ever played.
So far, still looks to be the best of the three and I think it looks to get the vehicle/infantry route separation right, but there's a lot of space around the sides of the map whose purpose I'm not really sure of just yet with the bases being so close to each other. I'd like an overhead view, but we haven't been able to get any of those for the maps so far :/
Dude's describing the Banshee's fuel-rod-then-hide combat loop as being a good thing. Okay. Nope. Nope. Nope.
Yep, sounds gross.

It's small-medium. AKA there's a couple warthogs and some ghosts.
My allergies say to go fuck off.
Sorry, just in an intermission for a huge furlough briefing for our Group and there's some seriously stupid shit my ears have been hearing for the last 2 hours.

You could fit a good 6 v 6 match there, plenty of ordinance room.

Looks good so far. Interested to see how things play out.
I honestly never found it fun in any iteration.
I'd mow that with a regular mower. It's flat too. Easymode.
So you'd describe it as a place to just not give a shit and practice donging on multiple people. Map design won't matter shit if thats what you use it for.

This, but the purpose of those pics were just to show distance anyway. HEH was boss though.
Didn't you only play that fake Halo 1 where people would only host Sniper/Pistol starts..?
And yayy, more rocks! New map looks kinda fun at least.
Stay in Shotgun hallway, pump anyone who comes close with lead, otherwise snipe people going for rockets from blind or who are coming down the long corridor. Pretty hard to dislodge you.
Wouldn't be as effective in Halo 4, I think, because of the buffed Needler (assuming you tried to keep spawns the same.)
