Is this panel that's about to start the one people are discussing in the last few pages? The multiplayer one?

Why does Steitzer talk so much in Regicide.

Yeah.

Yup.

Home made pizza is good here & there. Definitely not the best, but it's fun to make it with the family. The problem is that a typical household oven can't get hot enough to properly cook the pizza like a (proper) restaurant pizza oven would.

I don't claim to be a PIzza Connoisseur, but we do have our weekly/bi-weekly Friday Night PIzza & Movie Night at my house, and we've tried all the pizza joints in our area. When it comes to fast food ($8-$12) pizza, I find Dominoes to be the best (garlic butter on crust=happiness). Overall best would either be Carrabba's (wood oven baked) pizza, or a local joint's called Jerry's.

Also looking to bang out these Majestic achievements if anyone wants to do them. I have 4 controllers

If you'll have me, then I'll join you guys tonight for at least 2hrs. But I won't be available until around 10pm EST. I still need most of the Majestic cheevos.

GT is the same as on GAF.

You obviously haven't played much Halo 4. This game's framerate dips all the damn time.

Seriously. I was going for cheevos the other day and my framerate absolutely BOMBED. I'm talking 4-5 fps here.

:lol
I've played a good amount (campaign 3x, most of SpOps, and decent amount of MP SR85 I think). Life (being a Gamer-Dad & all) has got in the way of me playing more.

I haven't noticed much framerate drops. But I also haven't played much split-screen, or custom games.

Thing is with this entire Halo needed to evolve to avoid becoming Unreal is 343i didn't evolve anything. They copied their competition and crammed it into their game.

Want evolution? Look at Destiny. I think destiny has a chance to become the next CoD. At the very least its going to steal a lot of Halo people.

If you're referring to the same Halo community that essentially just wants Halo 2 HD, then they aren't going to be happy with Destiny either. I do believe it will be a fun game, just not anywhere close to an arena shooter.

Which has a higher population right now, Halo 4 or the PAX panel?

I laughed.

Have you played much BTB or Dominion? They're common there. And split-screen is damn near unplayable.

11.7 billion kills. 388 million headshots.

1/6th of this panel is down already

wut

C'mon frank keep her ass in line. Her jokes suck.

 

[FyreWulff]

For comparison, Halo 2 had 6,603,900 people play it lifetime, not counting guests

 

[Sr Kitsune]

"11.7 billion kills. 388 million headshots."

wut

The rest are bolshot kills.

 

[Stinkles]

wut

A kill is when you put enough ammo in an opponent to end their turn, forcing them to respawn. A headshot is when your bullets strike the target in the cranium area. This often leads to "multikills" which include numbers higher than 3.

But then the enemy you just killed instantly respawns and snipes you across the map with their DMR while you're one shot from finishing said enemy off.

Showed an internal video clip of a Mantis/Pulse Grenade bug from before launch. Floating ball of death!

Only 1 pulse grenade mantis plant, the video was hilarious.

You would laugh if you were there bro

11.6 million people playing might be impressive if the population now wasn't so pathetic. Obviously the changes didn't make people stick around.

Incoming ranking system news

[Talents]

Is the joke because after Halo 3 they repeatedly killed Halo?

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

11.6 million people playing might be impressive if the population now wasn't so pathetic. Obviously the changes didn't make people stick around.

That's the issue they should be addressing IMO. Such a large population of players who tried Halo 4, but now an even larger population who stopped playing it.

 

[kittens]

Halo 2 released when the majority of gamers were playing on a PS2, though.

And without high speed internet.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

11.6 played

I was told Halo just isnt popular and no matter what they did (my suggestions) the player count would still be low...

 

[Tashi]

Fiesta gametype will be updated next month.

They will be changing fiesta back to "something we prefer"

Good thing it's the end of March

Castle map pack trailer.

The one we saw already

 

[Nowise10]

Ooh I cant wait to see the pulse grenade thing.

I like seeing behind the scene stuff like that. Its cool

 

[Hey You]

They're changing Fiesta? Aw man, I actual prefer this new version over the old.

Thanks!

Tom Potter talking about the maps and fiction and stuff.

I'm on the edge of my seat

Daybreak is asymmetrical

Daybreak has one neutral banshee, neutral rockets. Wraith, goose and snipe at each base

Yuhas, it's random personal ordnance rather than random starting weapons

 

[Steelyuhas]

Wait, how is Fiesta different than how it's always been?

 

[kylej]

Talking about maps? Is he from Certain Affinity?

 

[Ryaaan14]

Yes.

lol

Me neither

Daybreak is asymmetrical

Daybreak has one neutral banshee, neutral rockets. Wraith, goose and snipe at each base

Apparently the height variation means banshee is easy skyjackable @ncsuDuncan said he got one when he played

Tom potter says CTF is the best on Daybreak.

 

[Franklinator]

RIP Kansas St, RIP my bracket, RIP Franklinator

 

[Nowise10]

Wait, how is Fiesta different than how it's always been?

You get an ordance selection each time you spawn, AND each time you get a kill. You still use your custom loadouts.

Regular, or old Fiesta, you just spawned with two random weapons each time you spawned, and got new ones when you died and spawned again.

 

[DeadNames]

Daybreak sounds like hell already
