Halo |OT15| Beta-tested, GAF approved
- Thread starter Booties

Agreed, BO2 was a terrible sequel to the original.
Waypoint only sadly :/
"Hostile close-minded stooges" lol holy shit.
Not anymore bro. Beyond Entertainment is saving Halo these days bruh man.

Yeah haha, it was pretty funny. I was just trying to keep my score up. Saw Pixelfox making a comeback near then end and panicked
Did Quinn just call Halo fans closed minded stooges?

You guys should read this interview he did on how Gears: Judgment was designed for E-Sports. Specifically how the previous games were too slow and that they wanted to increase the speed of play.
Reminds me exactly of the reasoning behind instant respawn in Halo. Apparently kids need to always be sprinting and dying and respawning to enjoy the game. Maybe that's why they took out down but not out.
Another interesting tidbit is discussing how they've balanced weapons so everyone gets a chance to play a certain role. Much like DMR acts like a sniper and boltshot like a shotgun, without picking up those weapons.

Get shit on THC.

Just curious though, cuz I played a game of IS and saw no X's.
You probably missed them. They disappear when the player respawns, I think. I was playing Rockets N' Rails and the Xs disappear before the bodies even hit the ground. :/

Fixed that. Now it's stuck in your head.
Competitive multiplayer is dead.

Do you think we could just start a campaign called Cheating Spartan Rank and everyone just cheat to get it as high as possible and just fuck shit up so they are all like "oh ok lets add normal ranks" too many cheaters want CSR!
Like game the system gaming us?
I mean is the population not low enough that we can spread our demands and get some results?

Huge props for him calling it how he sees it. Not that I necessarily agree, I just think it's awesome anyway.
I'm interested to see what Halo forum he thinks is a good place to get feedback. It's not Waypoint. We've been told it's not here. Apparently it's not HaloCouncil. Maybe HBO (but aren't they moving on to DBO?)
Well, you are a known member of team #onmyknees, so not surprising.

Action Sack is certainly fun, that's for sure.

He's still wrong.
Who knows. He probably just picks and chooses where ever.
I'm sure HBO will still live even though DBO is going to be in full swing soon enough
Wowwwww

This is probably the most random post I've seen in a Halo OT (especially given the current discussion), but sure. :lol

Also features such hits as "BEEKEEPER" and "HILLSASSINATION."

Same. Every forum is what he described, so why single them out? Not that I agree/disagree, but I wonder if there's something else going on..
And it makes me sad that I can't stop myself from doing so when the feature is there.
I kept doing it and then I just immersed myself in Throwdown. Now I forget it's there and essentially handicap myself on accident. Whoops.
Gauss hog got nerfed. Halo 4 can't handle Cragmire.
But is it large enough to contain the awesomeness that will be Super Cragmire: Galaxy?
I can picture a Cragmire and Boneyard mashup. It is glorious. Static spawns, players only use 1/2 of the map. We'll call it ping-fest 2.0
Guys like this will run the franchise into the ground. I seriously do not expect 343 to turn things around. They're version of Halo is inferior; it just blows. Unfortunately, they look like they're really set in their ways. I will not give them another dollar of my hard earned money unless they perform a 180 on how they approach the franchise.
Edit: Actually, more like run the multiplayer into the ground. I don't doubt Halo games will continue to sell but I'm sure future games will experience player drop-off like Halo 4 did. Or worse because of the changes made in pursuit of the almighty dollar.
THC is dad.
Used to work at Epic on GoW, help introduced spectator mode and changed the game to community feedback a lot. Cool guy in my books.

Fyrewulf please dont remake Craigmire that map stunk like sweaty balls rubbing on hot garbage and it played worse then it smelled.
When am I getting on HaloGAF radio, I'll be clear tomorrow from 2pm - 4pm. Message me by our community cartographers secret decoder ring.
My body was, as of this announcement, in a state lacking proper upkeep of preparedness protocols, and proper bodily preparation was not reached for an estimated 5.7 seconds. It has sought to correct these deficiencies in the future for maximum efficiency and will continue to run diagnostics until further prompted.
My body is ready.

I ain't talkin' to no 73.
Why do you guys always have these dick-sarcastic remarks?
What do you mean by "you guys"?

The last Call of Duty MP I enjoyed was MW2. I feel that series has been long heading down hill in terms of Gameplay. The hype machine is insane for it and i respect some of the advancements they made.

RIP Lady.
So Quinn is the dude that ruined Gears of War? Is this what I'm understanding? And I thought he was handling himself well until these latest discoveries..
Somebody pls prove me wrong ;[
The amount of stuckup comments I've seen from people involved with beyond.
I don't get why you feel the need to continue to just post these tastless comments. They go nowhere, and will only end up being offensive.
Lets go rewind 2 hours ago in my eyeballs.
Good comment their saucey. I now know you are a douchebag.

I'm not Saucey, here's his twitter though if you would like to voice your dislike for him.
Take a step back though, you are taking it more serious than anyone involved here.
