It seems like there's some good potential for 2 point, when teams have to decide between just defending the point they have or splitting up to try to take both, or trying to defend 2 points at once. I guess Extraction might be one of those things that sounds good on paper but ends up being really bland once actual people start playing it. I've had some really fun and tense games in the Extraction playlist though, both 2 and 1 point. Haven't tried the v3 versions though.

No they aren't. That's why bungie removed
Duals in reach. The weapons were fine when combined but useless on their own.
Single SMG or Single Plasma rifle can hang? Still fairly balanced for the most part? Come on son.

Ritalin supplier. That level of blain aint legit.

Pretty much.
But yea, he's my official music Producer.

Not worth the extra map clutter.
And IHaveIce, I'm honoured. Also ignore that Unknown guy. He's just jealous.
Here's my Halo Arena staff.
BigShow - lead MP design
Karl - lead MP map design
Overdoziz - lead forge designer
orznge - sandbox designer
Wahrer - concept art
The Henery - PR
FyreWulff - netcode designer, programmer
juices, Unknown, Arnie, Tashi, kylej, and probably the rest of halogaf - gametesters
heckfu - comic relief
... and YourExWife does most of the programming
oh and maybe we'll throw in that Cursed Lemon guy somewhere. lol.

I spent an entire year on a fairly high dosage of Ritalin. I don't remember a thing from that year apart from the moments it was wearing off and I was taking more.
I dunno that I'd go that far. Looking at Halo 3, for example, if I were given the option between AR starts and SMG starts (this is obviously a scenario of horrible playlist management but it serves as a pure comparison), I'd pick SMG any day. The kill times were roughly the same at equal distances, but with the AR your effectiveness reached its peak very quickly, while with DW weapons you could increase that effectiveness by pairing up weapons. Having that capability to increase player effectiveness by reducing one of their options (in this case, grenades) doesn't really necessitate having the half-weapon problem that people bandy about as the end-all be-all reason for cutting that mechanic. Shitty weapons are always going to be shitty weapons and Halo is always going to have shitty weapons (yeah, I know, in a perfect world etc etc), but you might as well give the player the ability to be slightly less shitty when using said shitty weapon. On the other side, doubling up weapons doesn't really need to necessitate a doubling in effectiveness, since you also control accuracy, recoil, and reload time variables in this situation.
I don't think it was ever really executed very well but I don't think there's any reason it couldn't be done well in the future. It's kind of in the same boat as equipment in that regard.
It would be awful yet 100x better than any recent Halo mp.

We'd actually make a better game, assuming we had enough code monkeys to put it all together.
Mainly because...
Microsofts hand wouldn't be inside of our rectum.
We also wouldn't make as many bad decisions. Because we know too much about FPS gaming.
Then its just up to bugtesting. Marketing would be all hypothetical but it would involve all of our company twitching the game out donging on each other and having great times.

My team is the best. I take my time machine back to 2001 and show Bungies MP team the modern FPS landscape. They are so shocked that they travel back to the future with me to help deliver the best MP game of all time.
All I need is the time machine to accomplish this. More plausible than gaf making a game.

Bungie mothafucka autocorrect.
WTF is Bunches bro? lol
He goes back in time, bumps into BUNCHES STUDIOS, and to his surprise, not only is this not the 2001 staff of Bungie Studios, but instead ...
Sorry, I couldn't think of anything funny.
I cant tell if this is actually a serious post.

Yea why wouldnt it be, we've shown time and time again to be able to call out bad shit entering the game.
Armchair development theory has come a far way since the old days bro!
If that's the case, we'd never have a map in Matchmaking.
Clearly you have no concept of just how in depth MS testing goes. Try going and watching some old Bungie ViDocs about testing with MS behind them. Same for 343i. Perhaps you should watch the credit and see how many testers they hired beyond their core team.
Also you think outsourced work magically appears fully integrated to the in house teams version control? Fuck you have no idea how development really works do you?
Honestly I'm now starting to understand the same group of posters here very well and it's quickly becoming a forum I'm not sure I'll partake in for much longer.

Ah, look, another hour has passed. Time for a megapost on Wahrer's latest incremental update to his imaginary sandbox.
I like them, but it feels like you post them A LOT.

This is a big update. An update-gasm, if you will. Afterwards there will probably be a lull for some time.
I have another megapost in the works concerning a revised UI, but that's it.
Damn it orznge your posts are so meta. I honestly can't tell if it touched a nerve or if this is sarcasm, so in tribute to you, I'll just say "lol".

There is a weapon named after me in Gears: Judgment.
I actually like Gears of War a lot and would play it regularly if I owned it again, and if it was conveniently on my hard drive.
Cool.
Yeah, same here.
Now that I think about it, I think orznge was channeling his inner Ozzy all the way back from Kyle's OT thread where he got so choked at Juices for saying he should be hired.

Ha yea I was watching a stream of the game saw someone get killed by it and I thought they were playing against you for a second til I figured it out.
