If Lollapalooza is any indication of who's coming to ACL this year, I'm going to freak right out. Thank god ACL is going to be over two weekends now.
How does one get inside the island? Is there a secret Bond villain entrance?

Someone do a quality sanctuary remake with some lovely trees. Halo 4 needs a good sanc map.

So you added it to the DL queue for your China account via the website, right? Then logged into your xbox with that account?
Damn right. My biggest disappointment with Reach is they made those great forested areas at the top of the canyons, but you couldn't actually forge there (killed my attempt to do a Danger Island successor.)
Thanks again to the 343i guys who worked hard to make it happen. Don't see they didn't improve any features Bungie had

Yeah, I'm super jelly of that Seattle trip. Really looking forward to PAX Prime this year.

Speaking of travel, I'll be in San Diego for five days next week (Thurs.-Mon.) to go to a friend's wedding. I'll have a rental car and my DSLR; I want to explore a bit since it's my first time in California. Anyone have sightseeing recommendations?
Push a teleporter through the side of it, make another teleporter, now you're playing with power

Speaking of Lockout, do you know why the throwdown version of Shutout isn't in Team Snipers?

Don't tell me how to live my life!
I am. I'm just bitter that it didn't come out a day earlier.
No I don't but I can find out and hopefully get it pushed in. I'd really like to have the same map versions in all playlists that feature them.

Calling Overdoziz...oh, wait.
sweet, thanks. Midship might be easier/cheaper to make that way. Assuming the inside has rounded walls, that is.

Hmm, so if someone builds a map into the side wall they should stick a kill zone inside, right? Just to head off some sort of exploit?
Almost wish there was a deletable one there.

While the remake is good, if a better one comes along wouldn't it make sense to replace it?
No shit
At this point though unless someone has a real hard on for Lockout, wouldn't their time be better spent remaking a map that doesn't have a good enough remake yet?
Quoted for new page, thanks!

La Jolla has some really cool restaurants with spectacular views, it also has A LOT of seals,lol. Point Loma is pretty cool as well, has a great 360 degree view and a nifty Light House. You can also go to the restaurant that was featured in Top Gun...not much there other than to say you've been.

PAX Prime is coming. PAX Prime is coming.
I got it. Click on the download then when it says sign in click on sign up at the bottom. Then when it takes you to the US site, change the country to China then hit next. Make the gamertag. Profit.
Edit: Nevermind, you were already told

Please go and recreate that scene.
Not soon enough. I might try to pull an E3 out of my ass. Would be epic for Next Gen shit.

Forge is saved... Almost. Would love some precision forging/zoom. 343 did good today though. Pat yourselves on the back.
Fixed.
Seems 343 got a new senior multiplayer designer? Josh Menke is that guy.

Keep hype in check, Microsoft/343 will strip this man of his soul and ruin what's left of his feeble life.
I hate to say it being a Mets fans, but Halo is like the Mets of video games: Where great players go to be average and/or hurt their careers.

Was Fyrewulff right about the space? Because I can fly for fucking ages away from the islands. This is awesome.

Forge Island!!! So cool it hit out of nowhere today, wtf.
Anyways, my impressions:
+Large!
+Flat!
+Free!
+Natural Palette expansion (rocks, trees)!
+Green Screen!
+Good variety of Forge Pieces
+Kill volumes are forgiving
+Its what Forge should be
-Lack of landmarks or skybox difference for player orientation
-Lighting is flat
-Looks like Ravine (with a little Ragnarok)
-Forge pieces use previous palette (mixed with the Ravine look leads to visual fatigue)
----
Basically, its everything I wanted from Forge with the downside of visual fatigue and flat lighting. I can't wait to see what people pump out!
How the hell.. you're fast.
Ohhh sounds good.

Yea, so I liked that LMG concept I saw in the Destiny GDC Panel an hour ago:
Reminds me of Issac Hannford's work.
So I opened up 3DSmax...:
...and blocked it out in 3D:
Maybe if I get the time I will take it further, I mean, It looks cool enough...
I wonder if this was a concept they chose to go with?
How the hell.. you're fast.
Ohhh sounds good.
So 343 has finally hired someone good? Took them long enough.
Now just fire the rest of the MP team and hire other good people.
Top of the map looking down. I'm just below the soft kill barrier here, and given how small the large island looks, you can take a guess at the amount of room above the map.
He said you could run across it in like 3 minutes 30 seconds. Sounds like a long time to me.

Sorry, wasn't picking on you. I just want a Lockout that is to scale.
Also, I really want an official no sprint game type.

I am not sure where you have been the last few months, but Bravo and Quinn were good hires, too. I mean they do incredible stuff. Quinn is playing Halo 4 with community folks every night.
