I'll buy last of us. Turning my PS3 on will be a little like opening King Tut's tomb though, I think last game I played on it was Uncharted 2.
also I was a little tipsy last night and forgot to link the fez remix soundtrack when i mentioned it so yeah http://disasterpeace.com/album/fz-side-f its good

I don't think I've ever actually purchased anything for my PS3 myself, most of my games have been given to me. I bought Mass Effect 3 from Amazon for the 360 and they mailed me a PS3 copy, but I let them know and they sent me a copy for the 360 for free after that. I basically haven't played my PS3 at all in the 3 years I've owned it. Also, I didn't know Fez had a remix soundtrack, I hope Adventure sounds good if that was remixed because I love that track on the normal OST.

Yes. I didn't think anything could best the Prowler.
I don't make the rules man. They build them for BTB and put them in the BTB list, but something doesn't work down the line and it ends up being a mess. Ragnarok is among the worst of them.

That's why I got rid of mine. I really wish I hadn't though, because I really wanna play Journey.

Awesome, thanks. I didn't even know this was coming out.
I occasionally watch Blu Ray on my PS3, not often enough to justify having it. At this point I'm more interested in the Vita than the PS3, even if it doesn't have many games 2 out of the 3 games I want for it having tons of replay value. But I mostly want it for Ultimate marvel vs Capcom 3 since I can take the thing anywhere, I didn't even know that the Vita had a port of the game until after I bought my 3DS, which has really sat unplayed since I got it.

Last Of Us is the last PS3 game I will buy. I barely used my PS3. The most times only to watch blu-rays.
Yes. The remix is incredible. A must buy. Srsly it is damn good. Get it! Just $5!

I only played exclusives on my PS3, was too cheap to buy Blu-Ray when I can get DVD for $10-$15 cheaper. Gave it to my friend forever ago because I know he would play it more. The online experience on Xbox is just more smooth and better for playing with friends. Yes I do think it should be free (at least Netflix), but I don't mind paying it. I also think Killzone is a decent shooter at best.
I've had a PS3 for four years and only have GOW3 and Just Cause 2. Only played it a couple times.
Waste of money.

PSN+ is a god send. I bought a year a while back and getting games every month for my PS3 and Vita make me at least pay some interest in the system.

I don't even care about what the specs are or if it's online only or not. My Halo-to-TV converter seems to have run it's course, and I'd rather put my money towards a good PC than spend it on a console I will get less use out of.
Still way too early to tell though.
Why not? I'll be home around 6pm PST so maybe we can get something going around then.
A map being put into a playlist doesn't mean it was built for that player count, it just means that those in charge of playlist management aren't properly curating things that don't work. Complex is in the CTF playlist, but that doesn't mean it was built for CTF. It just means that they were desperate to fill a hole in the playlist's roster for the incorrect notion that more variety makes for a better experience.
A full third of that list you posted isn't even in the big team playlist (Landfall and Daybreak in particular don't really even begin to approach big team size). Half of the maps on that list, some of which get shoved under the "lol everything is a BTB map" shorthand, play dramatically better (which isn't to say well or great) with reduced player counts, as well. At a certain point we've got to realize the blame lays partially on lack of proper curation and handling for those maps and less so on the misguided categories we've separated the map pool into.
Sure, yesterday was the most fun I had in a long time with full teams in Infinity and Big Team.
Highlight of the evening would be tckaos taking his headset with him while pissing.

I haven't disagreed with you. Halo 4 in general seems to be built around 5v5-6v6 gameplay, and most of the maps play better with that player count in mind. But as you said, it's just a matter of which of those maps are in what playlists.
Again, I'm only relaying information that is either in the map description or playlist choices.
I loved BTB in H2 and H3, but with all the changes in Halo 4 like plasma grenades and pistols in loadouts, camo sniping, anti-vehicle rifles, and personal ordnance, vehicles just aren't fun to use anymore. There's also the fact that the maps are built so that vehicles are funneled into awkward choke points where the aforementioned things have a better chance of taking them out. You can very easily tell the difference in map building style: Bungie would have plenty of wide open spaces for vehicles to roam (Rat's Nest being one of the exceptions), whereas CA gives you predetermined paths that you have to drive on.
I'm not even going to bother.

Dude, imagine a Sandtrap-style map, but way larger with frigates and Phantoms and Pelicans and stuff.
If that's possible for next-gen, it's an instant buy.

I don't know if you've heard of MAG but if next-gen Halo had massive maps that could support entire armies of players like MAG (256 player max??), I think everyone would jump onboard.
Plus, huge Halo environments are always fun in campaign, I could only imagine what they'd be like in multiplayer, with real humans in place of AI..
#2 is like, "stop eating my arm, bitch!"
I wonder what Sanchez was thinking?

Battlefield/MAG style Halo spin off would be awesome.

Ooh, maybe even have an entire Covenant invasion in multiplayer!
Like that mode in Halo 3 or whatever where you and three others fought off waves of Covies?!
....but with dropships and cruisers and who knows what else. That would be fucking amazing with a massive team of spartans.
Lolno. That would be terrible. It's bad enough with 16 players in Halo 4.
Plus I doubt there would be a good enough population for that.

Kind of like a combination of Firefight and Invasion, but with a large human facility with an armoury and vehicle bays and shit, and the Covenant have Liches and Phantoms and AI Jackals/Grunts/Hunters and even Ordnance drops.
Planetside 2
Pretty much lol

I think it would be cool if the game worked in the same way as ODST in that you have 4 men fireteams, but your holding a line, you can see other games going on on your left and right but cant affect them
If a team on your left or right loses though suddenly you have the covies coming from that direction too.
Now that would be sweet. So you'd basically have to rely on people who aren't really in your "game."
Pretty much, first time I saw dozens of infantry fighting on the ground against each other, tanks and other vehicles while at the same time insane dog fights were happening in the sky above the battlefield my mind exploded. It looked so cool, I was like, so this is what PC gaming looks like.

If the next-gen Xbox could handle that, and with Halo, that'd be amazing.
i just picked it up, too. going to jam some at work.
Halo gameplay.
256 players.
Peer-to-peer hosting.
It'll be just like playing Halo 3 BTB with an Australian host on a 9.6K modem whose 360 is about to red ring.
