Halo |OT15| Beta-tested, GAF approved
- Thread starter Booties
- Start date
Assault on Headlong, Terminal, Water Works and Burial Mounds were amazing. It was ok in Halo 3 and.....I don't think I played it in Reach?
I think some of the maps in Halo 4 would work pretty well with it though. Or they could make a map pack designed around 1-flag and Assault and release 2 new gametypes!
And saying the same thing over and over in the hope I might see it, isn't childish? Were you even old enough to play when OoT launched?
I guess what I want to ask is if the death x's have a chance at coming back In halo 4, or if I should just stop bringing it up because its not gonna happen and hope you guys put it in the next one.

Id love to see that happen. Objective just aint what it used to be though. Majority of players are all about slayer/deathmatch.
Look at Gears of War and how over time it moved away from the 1 life per round style to Team Deathmatch style. Its objective modes get barely any play either.
People these days prefer fast Slayer modes. Populations dont lie.
I may be mistaken but I think he might have streamed it once or twice.
We are going to continue to support Halo 4 for a long time, so anything is possible. Well, not anything. But some things.

True, yet it also is used in your standard gametypes to not only warn of danger, but also to let you know when there is a potential kill that you can get for the team. If someone yells "one shot at my X" I immediately know there's a player that is about dead that I can kill to gain another point for the team.
In objective games it's more what you noted, used to warn of danger as kills aren't the win condition. X's on objective games let me know when someone is coming for the flag I am guarding, or a general idea of where the other team may be so I can better position myself to take them on or surprise them.
Overall a teammate dying isn't just a death, it provides a ton of information that can be deciphered. Where he died, how he died (based on audio potentially), how many people died in that area (thus how many enemies might be there, or a tank), and how close that enemy is to me. The red X was nice for that because if I see my whole team die I can bet on the other team rushing the flag in CTF, etc.
Halo 4 works on the next Xbox confirmed?

Sorry, but maybe you should have had BS Angel clarify that in the bulletin then. You (BS Angel) are professionals no? Portray yourselves as such at least. The bulletin made it seem like you thought of the ending out of nowhere as a joke, makes it seem like you ended Spartan Ops with a "joke" because why not! Maybe you should have clarified it, for us "simple country folk" so the meeting seems like a professional meeting of writers doing their job ans not sitting around having fun.

Frank, hook a man up with a Halo Wars DLC discount/sale. Been playing non stop for the last month after a 2 year hiatus and Im half way to General rank.
1600 points for 4 maps and 3 gametypes for a 4+ year old game is steep.
Discount it to coincide with the GonD sale and youll be rolling in microsoft points.

I'm so tired of seeing blue everywhere.
Remember how your reticle and your teammates' service tags would blend in perfectly with the sky on any Forge World map in Reach? Who in their right mind decided that those three things should all be the exact same colour. That was probably my only gripe with the Reach UI.
So it will work on the Nextbox ? :J
edit: Dammit Cyclone
Also about the Writer AMA.. please? :x
I think thats more because of how the objectives changed, contesting was a huge thing in Halo 2 but that system changed in Halo 3 which made it (to me) less enjoyable so I played it less.
CTF got a lot of shit to in Reach because it didn't bounce and the default maps were not really the best for it. Halo 4 we have the problem of auto pick up but on Skyline CTF is the most amazing and from what I've seen, most voted for gametype.
So maps and objective features play into it a lot. Also Remember A LOT of Halo 2 maps were built with particular objectives in mind.
This is going in my spank bank. Can't wait to sexile my roommate when I withdrawl this gem.
Also, my friends and I refer to masturbation as "working on some spreadsheets". Can this catch on?
I suppose this is the best I'm gonna get since. Thanks. Hope someone there is at least looking into it.
Good to see you back here. Now if only you'd play something other than SWAT.

I miss the game ending sitrec...
Up until the most recent TU, they still worked in custom games, now it doesn't occur, regardless of the Death Cam toggle :/

It could be possible if it exists for that perk.
I play Team Throwdown, Infinity Slayer and any map pack playlist. I was doing some cheap assasinations on Team Jesus just the other day on Majestic.
The main reason I play SWAT so much is because I am usually riding this while I play at home:
SWAT works well with the movement. Also you burn more calories when you are losing (rage) so it's a brilliant way to exercise and accept your lack of skill.
I remember last time I played with you, you were on that, playing Halo and apparently baby sitting. Apparently you are a multi-tasking god.
Also that does sound like a good workout.
Come play Reach MLG with me instead of garbo Halo 4. It'll make you sweat more than an exercise bike.

Nah, P90X/Insanity-Gaf. Come at me bro.
I support lifting too
Hey, everyone has to work out, if you can make it more enjoyable why not? Personally I couldn't concentrate if I was biking and playing.

I think it's smart. Lots of people don't workout because of how boring it can be.

IIRC the latest TAS would beg to differ.

TAS? I'm pretty sure Cosmo does the <25minute any& run as a kid.
I am too old to lift. But I can do twenty pull ups. And effectively unlimited push ups. Somebody once told me you can get ripped just by doing push ups. They were lying.
Whoever told you you're too old is wrong. The reason you can't do it is because you don't do it. Go lift something and you'll feel better.
I did this one thing once where I'd play some Halo, and then do a pushup for every kill I got. If I didn't get enough kills I did a pushup for every death or assist.

You can get ripped doing body-weight exercises, but you've got to do a lot of them and diet is paramount. Olympic gymnasts are shredded folk, and tend not to do much if any weight training. Also, guys like Rickson Gracie and Troy Polamalu don't lift.
Putting that aside- any exercise you do is good! You don't have to be ripped in order to gain health benefits that come from moving around and being active.

Yup, there are special rutines for getting in form.
You can try some fitness and zumba if you are in the mood.
I might hop on and stream

You guys are getting way too bum-troubled by all of this.
