Your previous post inspired me to go pop in Halo 3. Sadly, the disc won't load any campaign mission so I ended up just running around Zanzibar for a few minutes before shutting it off :( Goodnight, sweet prince.

Oh dang! :\

I played on Tsavo Highway tonight. Such a good level. Plus you can do this

Blowing Phantoms up is always fun.

I loved getting into a phantom and flying outside of the level.


Man I miss Halo 3, I have the same problem like Greencastle, my disc won't load campaign levels anymore :(

What happened to your discs to cause that? Too much campaign? Or simply too much playing Halo 3 altogether?


I'm glad there are some solid impressions of the map pack. I was pretty disappointed overall with the Crimson Map Pack.
 
Krow and I just played our first game of Doubles. We hadn't played Halo in about 42 days prior to this but dayum this game feels so good to play again. Both got 15 kills to win our first game nicely on Haven. I dunno what the weapon timers are like but it felt like Sticky Det was popping up a lot.

This game is great. It's good to be back!

Too much playing Halo 3 could be really the cause :D No I think the reason is my dis is really scratched, I have the Halo 3 Limited Edition and for some reason the disc is really loose and wouldn't snap in the case many times so it got some scratches.

2 of my friends have the same problem :( We really have to get Halo 3 sometimes cheap, I think you can get it for under 10 € at some places.

I think this happened to me with Gears 1. I played it exclusively from emergence day all the way to Halo 3 launch. Almost 3-4 hours a day. It stopped reading the disc for some reason, and I looked there was this huge liquid splotch under the disc like it was inside the DVD. Maybe that was the reason? I had to buy another version.

You killed your father, effed your sister, murdered families, destroyed the economy, and the only thing you introduced was Coliseum fights? Disgusting.

Fight me like a man, man.

Woah there, he ALMOST effed his sister. As a former lurker, it's pretty funny reading the love story of OddOne and Elzar, who went from strangers to friends to lovers to marriage (calling Elzar "wife") to divorce, and now you guys are enemies.

I think the power weapons are on the game timer correct? As in it will respawn every 3 minutes on the clock, not from when they're picked up.

Also, Jazzy/Cyren/u4ix/heckfuck, is Monolith as too open as it looks? Seems like a DMR donging ground.
 
If you quit a Throwdown game you shouldn't be able to search for another mathcmaking game until the game you left has finished.

Yep, they quit so much when they don't get the gametype they want. idk why they don't get objectives out of there. Extraction sucks and CTF has its own playlist already. KOTH belongs in team objective. Even the playlist description is strange.

Team Throwdown
Team Objective
Team Doubles

Its getting confusing for people I think. Get that Deluxe bullshit out of there too, we get it you like Infinity. No remnants should be in throwdown.

Would like to know this as well, it seems like in Throwdown it is on the clock but ijn Doubles Pro it is timed after pick up

Want to make sure people get used to personal ordnance in any way.
 
I have a rough time against all these Sprint/Melee spammers now in team throwdown. Swords need to be removed because of Sprint. You don't really have an chance against a sprinting sword player.

I also miss the radar. When there was no sprint it was a different story but even with radar a sprinter still has an advantage.
 
Lol what a crock of shit
Ooooooh.

Why don't ye do an episode that doesn't revolve around the current Halo stuff?
Do one about the Halo 3 Campaign? Or even just HaloGAF "history"?

Do an off-topic cast about xyz porn actresses.
It'd be on-topic for this thread :p

Slayer has its own playlist. Too many Slayer variants, again, period. Deluxe can go, though.
 
If they remove the Boltshot and DMR from loadouts and replace them as pickups, this game would improve tremendously.

That won't ever happen though. The thing is, when the BR was announced for Halo 4, no one was asking for the DMR to return. When they announced the DMR for Halo 4, everyone was curious and still optimistic. We were all willing to try it out. Well we did (RIP BTB). No DMR and buff the Carbine for Halo 5.

Honestly it blows my mind that what few people actually run Carbine and Lightrifle in BTB matchmaking actually do so. I mean BR nostalgia I understand, and it has its uses at close range, etc. But DMR is mathematically better in every situation unless I'm missing something.

I want to hear the Elzar sister story.
He effed his sister. Happened when we were visiting his relatives. He said he was "comforting" her, yet the sister told me he was telling her about condoms, dressing her up as Cortana and his special Armor Lock "positions". Called the cops and he confessed it all.

Now you know the story of our divorce.

Huh? You mean Infinity Slayer?

The only dedicated "Pro" Slayer playlist is Doubles.

The same argument could be made for CTF, Extraction and KOTH. There are 2 other playlists for those gametypes. I want a 4v4 dedicated pro playlist. Isn't that what we all wanted?

Just take CTF v2 and put it in the CTF playlist and let people pick it if they want. Thats why you have so many quitter, you guys are saying every match starts 3v4. Thats because people don't want to play a gamstype they don't want.
 
I like it as an pickup. Because I never pick it up.

It actually works decent as a pick up. Crazy what happens when not everyone and their mother spawns with a 1HK weapon.

Play Team Throwdown.
 
Infinity needs to be its own playlist. Slayer, CTF, whatever. I don't care, I wouldn't play it.
Big Team Battle needs to return with a variety of gametypes and variants. Slayer, heavies, CTF, etc.
Team Skirmish with plenty of variants.
Pro.
I give up, it's never happening.

Yea I'm down for special episodes like that. If we get Nutter on for one episode we can do a history of HaloGAF. That would be fun.

I have been saying this all along. I would not give a fuck if infinity was one playlist for casual or what ever to practice up on. They need to bring back all the old Halo playlist and quit injecting infinity into every fucking game type. Team Slayer ranked and Social should be the dominant playlist. Save Halo!
