Halo |OT16| Oh Bungie, Where Art Thou?

What maps have people found the best to play on, even when you lost? Any maps get better for you over time?

I'm talking the all games here. The mention of Standoff brought it to mind, but also I keep seeing Settler get voted on and even though I feel like it is a pretty unattractive map, rushing the hill keeps being fun. And I did say best in the first sentence and fun in the last, that does not mean I am equating them, 'best' could mean fun, competitive, versatile, whatever it means to you.

Beaver Creek would fit this perfectly for me, moreso the one in Reach.
 
Vehicles suck.

Stick them in campaign and BTB only. N in BTB make sure theres enough weapons to blow them up fairly. If you playtest and find games often come out with wraiths or banshees going +30 you are doing something wrong. How is this a hard concept for MP designers to understand?

The awkward moment when you know Halo 4's maps are BTB.

not gonna lie, rushing up to the top of the spire was a ton of fun in reach.
 
Halo's 3rd person vehicles are a big part of the series' appeal for me. They're just not being handled properly, and everything form new health mechanics to plasma pistols in loadouts has all but completely ruined their combat.

The MP designers haven't done a good job since H2 IMO.

Same for me with the bolded. Halo 3 though had some fun vehicle combat too, but then everything went downhill with Reach's carboard vehicles and Halo 4's Plasma Pistol/Grenade loadouts.
 
Gamer who has played every shooter: "Hey, a Rocket Launcher! This Banshee is going down!"

"Haha n00b, everyone knows the Sniper is the true anti-vehicle weapon!"

Halo.

I never played the original enough to get that good of a feel (my time with Halo2 mp was mostly LAN splitscreen with a group of dirty screen watchers who wanted to play rockets constantly), but that initial rush was pretty great. Every map has that initial rush, but a few stick out - Construct, Beaver Creek, Guardian, Standoff pop first into my head.

I know Spire gets a lot of hate here, but that was one that grew on me as did Swordbase (but never objective). It almost got to the point that I liked spawning blue just to see if we could overcome the disadvantage.

As for spire I just loved the lifts up, reminded be of super bounces. I think instead of different types of man cannons there should just be one with adjustable power output.

Same for me with the bolded. Halo 3 though had some fun vehicle combat too, but then everything went downhill with Reach's carboard vehicles and Halo 4's Plasma Pistol/Grenade loadouts.

I think all vehicles should be fast with semi-powerful weaponry, nothing OHK. I'd like to see a mantis that can run as fast as a mongoose with only machine guns and that can have it's legs pulled out from under it ewok-style.

I agree. Halo 1-3 had phenomenal vehicular combat. Honestly my favorite series that has it included. BF is no good IMO.
 
"Life's A Bitch" is really the only song you need to hear, after that it is all down hill.

Just... What the fuck.


Nas has fallen off. Only decent thing he did was Hiphop Is Dead. After that, he just made crappy mixtapes with sub-par beats and sold it as an album. Gotta get that paper.

Okay. Your officially just bad at being a music fan. Life is Good was great, Locomotive is unbelievably good. Nearly blew out the windows of my car with that monster.

Didnt know any of you cornballs liked hip hop in here. You should stop by the GAF-Hop thread now and then.

Except for Oddone.

You suck.

If they are adamant about its inclusion then make it 2 shots to kill or give it a stupid long cool down timer.

They should just turn it in to the Rail Hog instead of a Gauss Hog. Charge up time and slight shot leading (though not as much as the actual rail gun) would justify the immense damage it does to players and vehicles. Now it's a point and click to victory.

But that would take a small amount of skill. How do you expect the new players to the series to use that vehicle correctly?

Kendrick's Good Kid, M.A.A.D City and Krit's Return of 4Eva are the more recent albums I love, rest of rap has been in a decline though or I've grown tired of genre. Some indie stuff still surpises me once and while.

I use to do Wu-Mondays many blue moons ago over at the Hiphop thread. Good times.

Haven't listened to Life is Good yet, guess I just might.

Let's make it an even 4.

Flamethrower Hog.

GL Hog. The one thing that was good about rocket race in reach was being that third wheel and just spamming the hell out of the Grenade Launcher. You should have a mounted turret that can fire multiple. Maybe make it like the Mantis where you just fire off one unless you charge it up to release a barrage.

Yeah, same here. Does anyone have him on xbl and can ask him?

Man I really hate these Durango Threads, I wish the reveal would finally happen so all these rumours could stop and put to rest.
Agree. Wonder why they pushed it from end of April like it was originally.

gimme dat PS4 already.
 
Don't those cost as much as a car?

dude

They're 5K for a Sony one with Speakers.

Realistically speaking, by the time I save up 5K (end of the year being really, really, hopeful), they'll probably be a $1000 less. I'm also hoping my dad will be willing to buy one for the living room or something.


That reminds me, I need to get a car, and my drivers license... ugh.

Nice TV kyle, I see buying nice things to fill the emptiness of life is working! I'm still debating what I want but I think I'm buying a sailboat next.

Look at the location.

I was going to link you to the real tweet, but I just realized it actually gives out my full location, not just City and State, tells you guys my house address, won't go that far XD

You are already dead.

We are gonna find you, and then proceed to surf the interwebz and go to every porn site known to man on your computer!
 
Well yeah but at $150 a week it will only take him 32 years to save up

That's my job only. My parents give me $50 a week, even though I told them not too. They have the bank automatically give me that a week. They don't want to talk to the bank to stop.

So I actually make $200 a week sometimes, and I plan to work more hours during the Summer when school is over. At this rate of $200, It'll take 25 weeks, like I said, end of year at best. If I work more during the summer, it should be like 15 weeks. I am sort of planning financially :p

I thought like this when I was sixteen. It'll all fall into perspective when you're older. It's crazy how much you learn in 3-4 years man

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON A 4K TV!

Seriously, don't.

Yeah, I forgot I need a car as well, and I need to start saving something up for college. I think the only stuff I'll actually be buying this year are an Xbox Infinity/PS4. I always forget that I can't really buy much with the very little amount of money I have. :/
