The suppressor is absolutely nasty at close range and seems to strip the OS like no other weapon. AR seems to be better and mid range for me though, pretty good if you burst it from longer ranges.

I've been using it in Multi Team lately. GAF customs too. It's definitely a good choice up close; I mix it up with between it and the AR a lot on small maps.
The BR's been feeling really weak for me lately. Definitely looking forward to the buff. Been rocking the Lightrifle and DMR in the meantime. I neglected the LR up until a few days ago, and I regret it. Dat 4sk when scoped.
Is there going to be a lobby tonight? No plans tonight, and I want to play something.
I stand corrected. He should have known that something like that would have gotten him banned.
I don't get off until 10 (or later) and when I get home I'm finally bootcamping my mac so I can roll on DOTA. That's all to say that I'll wanna hop on and play while everything is loading, etc.

RIP Slty.
So many posters taken from us too early.

Storm Rifle here. It's so lonely up here at the top of the food chain.
A true training playlist would be great, as opposed to just a place where higher ranks can cleanse newbies. Bots seem like a possibility also. This would be a good thing for ranks to exist also. Have stats and ranks exist elsewhere in playlists, but training stats only show for the individual, so you can't pad and the only people who get something out of it are people new to the game or who want to try something new out.
I actually really like how the latest COD dealt with introducing players to the game, although I still haven't played much of that despite liking how it is set up.
This is the way I play abandon. It works and is hilarious almost all of the time. Although I just switched back to bumper jumper so I probably won't be able to do it anymore.

The jet pack is to help players get around the map faster, yet it enables scrubs to spray you in the top of the head with automatic weapons. So fucking annoying get that shit out of my Halo.
Nope. You gave up on this place anyways. I wish I had a gif of you air humping yourself.

There will also be a Double XP playlist, showcasing one of the gametypes each week. This could be used in conjunction with gametype updates, and/or stimulating the lesser-populated gametypes. Shouldn't need it's own hopper, but the double XP might force it.
All playlists are ranked the same way they have been. Did I overlook something?

Poison wanted me to let you know the giveaway starts in TWENTY minutes! It will be open to US gaffers only and it will be a trivia contest. First to quote the question and answer it correctly will win. Questions have been provided by poison so if you don't like them take it up with him.

I'm just imagining Juices' book is shoved into Tashi's disc drive.
you owe me a million dollars. Where is it Tashi
I totally agree with this. Even though I do use jet pack occasionally I wish it was just a movement AA and you could not fire your weapon while it is engaged. I also dislike camo (I like how my phone wants to auto correct camo to camp), although not just as an AA, really in any form. Again I will use it, but would prefer it didn't exist. Or rather a shadow effect instead of transparency. Thruster is the most 'fun' for me, but I feel I have to use others depending on some game-types or maps.
For custom options I'd like to see the ability to enable multiple tactical packages and support upgrades at the same time. (Doesn't seem like a possibility the way halo 4 is set up but if these concepts stick around for future installments).
you owe me a dick pic. I sent you mine and you never sent me yours. You dont need my address a PM will do

What about my 50?
That no one had bought the game yet.
The price and the download size was only 2mb?
Just beat 1999 mode. What an experience this game is. So good. Story and narrative Halo can only dream of touching. And its not like Halo's structure prevents it from attaining this.
The combat in infinite was VERY similar to Halo. You're given a big sandbox of abilities and weapons to choose from which you can combine in interesting ways.
You have shields and health.
The combat didn't necessarily follow the 30 seconds of fun framework. But the level designs were similar in that you had narrow segments of corridor shooter combat, and then you had wide open areas where the combat was more arena like. That fight in downtown emporia hnggg.
Halo should really take some notes from Infinite as far as campaign goes. Don't be afraid to have fairly lengthy segments of no combat, just walking, observing and developing the story and characters. Some of the best parts of infinite was just walking around Columbia experiencing everything. Or walking/talking to Elizabeth. This could have been done with Cortana more. Or perhaps walking through some sweet forerunner environments with the Didact addressing you. It was done to an extent, but it could have been developed more. What if you got a chance to walk around the Infinity for a bit, see Marines, Spartans, etc reacting to you.
They can keep their setpieces, keep some of the more linear segments, but still have plenty of room for those big open fights that Halo is known for. Then add some segments of no combat, just story driven segments not told in cutscenes. Foster exploration.

Since when are you a brony!?
Lets say that the next box can handle some crazy shit a far as field of view and handling a large area without having to load too often (ala skyrim, and other things)
How would everyone feel if Halo 5 ha an open world aspect to it's campaign? Let's say the engine can handle a level the size of a planet and it opens up more as you progress similar to ODST and opens up entirely after the first playthrough. I would enjoy to see this, how about the rest of HG?

I gambled with some bad people.
Complete luck. I just finished some stuff at work and turned on HaloGAF the instant you posted.
But I don't want it so give it someone else.

Couldn't agree more, though I'm yet to play Infinite. The only real time I felt a sense of exploration in the Halo 4 campaign was the very first playthrough. Though even then, by the time I was halfway through, I'd realised how incredibly linear everything was.
There is also a huge lack of variety in terms of the manners in which to accomplish certain tasks. After more than ten years of playing CE, I'm still able to devise new approaches that are effective for completing certain objectives. Whether it be an unusual entry point to a battle, a somewhat obscure weapon selection, etc. it's still possible to experience something slightly different every time.
After just two months of playing the Halo 4 campaign (and fairly infrequently at that), I'm already bored with the linearity and comprehensive lack of optional strategies.

I feel that they should embrace the Metroid based exploration. Not everything needs to full blown big budget CGI storytelling, but some nice smaller scale stories (via text or even audio) that are scattered around open spaces would be cool.
Ok since Tashi ruined it for everyone and poison isn't answering i'm making up my own question for the poster and oni patch.
This player performed a panenka kick in the 2006 world cup during a penalty shot, but he will be remembered for his actions against Marco Materazzi most.
Name the player and the ensuing chart-topping song in France that was made about him and the incident that gave him a red card.
