60fps can only help the game.
And no. Keep it faster. It feels off because it feels better.

Anyone going to go for the CSR challenge for Castle to get the avatar thing?

Wait, I haven't played in a while, what is this?
I'm guessing for Waypoint. I'm going to try to achieve this just so I have something to do, I could care less about some avatar on a forum I rarely go to.

I am, but I'm doing awful in the DLC playlist. I'll probably get stuck at CSR 10.
Special avatar item if you get to CSR 35 in the DLC playlist by the 22nd.

I have to say, 343 is doing something right with these DLC achievements. If you can get all of them in the course of ~10 games I'd take mundane ones over Steppin' Razor any day.
Should I make a mockup achievement list for Halysis?

Nah. To be fair though, Microsoft has been offering more sales than ever these past few months.
Deadly Cyclone

Microsoft didn't really do sales in the Halo 3 days. Kind of a new concept for them.
Actually I think it feels great but it LOOKS off. I can't really describe it, but some modes like classic in Reach and Throwdown in 4 just have a "wrong" visual feel to them. Like I'm missing some of the normal fluidity from player movement animations.

Save for the different player counts they account for, why doesn't 343 have multiple DLC packs in the same playlist? Crimson and Castle pretty much occupy the same space in terms of role.
That's a good point. EZ cash money before they dump BC, lol.
Edit: shinobi made a thread gaming side about the Halo 4 micro transactions

I may expect to see the DLCs in one playlist at some point, but at the moment people want to play on their newly acquired maps.

I think 343 could profit on alternate weapon models. Halo 2 or 3 style br models and sounds. Halo Reach DMR skin. Halo 1, 3 AR.
Would be neat.
Would be neat.
I feel the opposite. I feel like im constrained in the normal modes, like they're the ones who have it off and wrong. In Throwdown I feel much more fluid, agile and mobile and I love it. Don't understand why we can't make players move faster by default.
In Reach classic it felt weird because of the jump/gravity settings.

No - it's an avatar item. For your Xbox avatar.

Man this is why we don't post gaming side threads people.
Those settings were horrible. You could make jumps in vanilla Reach that you would miss in Anniversary. Felt horrible.

Agreed.
I really like the new maps btw. Particularly the urban one. Can't remember what it's called but it reminds me of a mix between Turf and Headlong.

Wahrer/Ex Wife, you guys down for some DLC playlist around 7CST tonight? I'll be able to chat until 8/830 or so until a friend gets on. I can play until 11 or so though.
EDIT: Also I need a few more jetpack melees in the last map pack.

They really have. Maybe they've taken a page out of steam's book. They've had a lot of good sales since the start of the new year.

I've gotta work out and shave my hair down a little bit but I think I might be able to.
How are they wrong? You only need to take one look at Gears Judgment and the shitty business going on in that game to see how disgusting it can get.
If Halo is dead now... well...
They want their customers happy before they announce "always on" feature for the nextbox.

Oh, for sure. There's an ugly side of microtransactions, but they also can be handled in a good way. I never saw Valve's way of handling TF2 items (when TF2 cost to buy) as overly bad. I wanted more armor for Halo 3 and Reach but we never got any. If microsotransactions can get us more aesthetic stuff after launch (and not cause 343 to skimp on the full game content) I'm down.
I need to do my P90X, but I should hit 7pm.
We are talking about Microsoft though. No chance it's handled well, ever.

If you mean air assassinations you can do those in a local match, no jet pack required.
Reach had a jetpack melee achievement.
Deadly Cyclone
Pride of Iowa State
Remember the last time we played? Got some of those achievements. There is one for air assassinations (I was thinking jetpack). I got like 3 of them when we played, I need like 2 more.
In Majestic DLC matchmaking, perform 5 'airsassinations.'
That is indeed what I meant.

Like willow said, you can get those in a local match.
Deadly Cyclone
Pride of Iowa State
Hmm, I need to do that then. Can you get all the DLC achievements in local? Maybe we can run through those quick tonight. Here's what I need:
- In Crimson DLC matchmaking, get a kill while airborne in a Warthog.
- In Crimson DLC matchmaking, kill 20 enemies using the Mantis' stomp attack.
- In Majestic DLC matchmaking, perform 5 'airsassinations.'
- In Castle DLC matchmaking, disable a vehicle and then hijack it.
- In Castle DLC matchmaking, get two direct Spartan Laser kills in one match.
- In Castle DLC matchmaking, assassinate an enemy who is using a Hardlight Shield.
- In Castle DLC matchmaking, disintegrate 6 enemies using Forerunner weapons.
- In Castle DLC matchmaking, perform 5 melee kills in a single match.
- In Castle DLC matchmaking, kill 5 enemies during a match by running them over.
I'd probably get most of the Castle ones in random matchmaking, but if we can knock them out in custom games it'd be better.

As far as I know, that's the only one. We had a big boosting party last night. WHERE WERE YOU!?!?!??!?

I can get the Airassassination achievement in local games? Can I get the other Jetpack Achievement as well?
Deadly Cyclone
Pride of Iowa State
I had a Terraria video to do for COIN-OP.TV annnnnnd a friend who has limited time this week wanted me to play the maps with him (I got demolished, he did well as usual).
No worries, I should get some of the new ones while we play. Damn Mantis stomp one takes forever though.

Good God, that gaming side thread.

First off, to clear up what is apparently a common misconception, Airsassinations do not require a jetpack for either player. All you have to do is assassinate the person while *they* are off the ground. The achievement for this act is the only one as far as I know that can be done locally.
As far as the other one, you just have to kill jetpackers right? YOU CAN DO EEET!

Yeah. On a Majestic map...
If it was IRL I'd get in a fight.

Microtransactions mentioned by 343 = OH MY GOD I'M GOING TO PS3!
Microtransaction bacon skin already in Black Ops 2 = Oh, cool, more to buy.
Agh.
