Heckfu Green Skull

HGS

Damn, and Heckfu told me it was cool. I shoulda known better when he changed his avatar back!

 

[Korosenai]

So, be straight with us. Is the green skull a nice palette cleanser to his purple head?

 

[heckfu]

Haha, I'm cracking up over this thread at work.

 

[Tashi]

When you go to his house next time Fu, I'll give you a blowie from Tashi if you open the bag/smash it.

Wow this is really innapropriate and I find it very offensive. I don't see how you have not been banned for a remark like this. Please apologize to me.

Thank you

God damn.

Just remove it as a default loadout, make it a map pickup. Only choices, IMO, should be either AR/Pistol/frag, or BR/Pistol/frag. Pickup weapons are determined by the map locale, so human environment = human weapons, Forerunner environment = Forerunner weapons, etc. Use the Halo 2 style ammo boxes sparingly if needed for the human weapons.

Also:
- No Armor Abilities in loadouts, only sparingly treated as powerups. Then even the most egregious of them won't be so hated if fought for.
- No Personal Ordnance, and for the uninitiated, use waypoints on Global Ordnance and powerups similar to how it works currently.

I agree. Get the premier default as close to classic as possible.

Because everyone would turn it off.

this lol

Heckfu Gets Sassy should be the next thread title.

 

[Ramirez]

Isn't ready up a Socom term?

 

[Purplemage]

Weird that I've been looking forward to Reach more than 4 lately. And dammit juices how dare you have a life! My GF is working this evening so I'll have ample time.

And maaan, they've gotta change multiteam to 4 teams of 3. It was far more team oriented that way.

 

[FyreWulff]

I wonder if 343 has any plans to make use of Halo 4's Double EXP backend at this time.

Seems like it'd be a waste of backend if it's just gone now.

 

[Tawpgun]

Getting a 35 in Castle DLC without at least 3 people in your squad is going to be impossible.

 

[kylej]

please stop the meta commentary I don't want anyone to get banned thanks

 

[Zoso Achilles]

My Internet is stupid. These things only seem to happen with halo though.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Same with just 1. Since it's based on wins it doesn't matter how well I do when my teammates are terrible at everything.

 

[Syphon Filter]

what you know about socom 2.

That's really rude. I don't appreciate this sudden, harsh behavior. Can you please apologize so that we can move on? Thank you kindly

I've been craving some Reach Campaign and Invasion, but I already bought it thrice. I'll feel like an idiot for buying it again unless it was super cheap.

what you know about socom 2.

I know a lot, that was my shit before Halo 2 dropped. I remember waping the day before Halo 2 hit and some guys wanted me to join their clan, and I was like "bros, won't ever play this game again after tomorrow", and I was right!

Now look at my Halo.

 

[Kibbles]

Wasn't there supposed to be some smart glass app thing that updated shit in realtime while playing Halo 4. Like is there any sort of companion app I can use here or what? Going to work on my CSR and see what's up

It's on IOS I have it on my phone now. So it's definitely out there.

Shoutouts to inthecrack.

So what's everyone's highest rank so far?

I got a 31 in Action Sack.

I'm an android peasant. Don't see anything on my nexus 4 besides some waypoint app for Halo Reach lol arghhh. I got Xbox Smart glass as well but it doesn't seem to do anything inside games like I got the impression from E3, but my memory is foggy

Some kid said he was already a 50 in IS like the day it came out?

 

[Tawpgun]

Gonna give IS a try since I can dong on my own terms.

 

[Plywood]

Then again, it probably wasn't that hard considering I'm sure no one else knew.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Did 343 post somewhere what playlist had what CSR requirements?

12 in Dubs. Levels haven't spread out yet so it's quite competitive

 

[Ramirez]

Nothing will top our -1 in Throwdown.

 

[Tawpgun]

I don't think you get matched on CSR. You can matched on trueskill.

 

[Twilight Gap]

What was that site you guys posted a whlie back where you could check CSR?

 

[Havok]

http://halo.bungie.org/halobulletins/92

Playlists that use individual scoring:

Infinity Slayer
Big Team Infinity Slayer
Rumble Pit
Multi-Team
Team Action Sack
Flood
Team Snipers
Regicide
SWAT

The following playlists will use team scoring, and your CSR will be based off wins and losses. This system rewards players who work towards the objective and win the match. It will take longer to rank up in these playlists.

Playlists that will use team scoring:

Castle Team DLC
Team Objective
Capture the Flag
Dominion
Team Throwdown
Team Doubles
Grifball

It is absolutely astounding that they do not surface this information anywhere but that one singular bulletin. Especially considering that you would have to know precisely where to look, and even if you did, digging back through their news blog to find anything is such an incredible pain in the ass that it'd be a thousand times faster just to use the awesome, lightweight HBO archives. Even just a link labeled "What is CSR?" in the CSR portion of the stats page that points to that bulletin would suffice.

I mean, if they want people to actually care about their CSR, why bury every single meaningful piece of information about it as deep as possible?

 

[Rev3rb]

Quick CSR

Not working though, since my schools server blew up...

I picked up www.quickcsr.com
I'm waiting on a nameserver transfer to the new server.

Should be up permanently later

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

http://halo.bungie.org/halobulletins/92

Thanks. I find it odd that Infinity Slayer is based on your skill, and DLC is based on wins.

Ok thanks. I'll check again later.

 

[Havok]

I'd wager it's because a significant percentage of the modes in that playlist are objective-based. If you based it on KDR like individual scoring does, that opens the door for stat padding in a way that none of the individual scoring playlists do.

Everybody would have been 1% Onyx if Arena had featured Oddball Sword Base.

 

[Pop]

Thanks. I find it odd that Infinity Slayer is based on your skill, and DLC is based on wins.

Do you really find it that odd? This is 343i halo, nothing is ordinary.

 

[Tawpgun]

Team based ranking is a better metric anyway. Otherwise you can statpad yourself to a 50.

 

[Sai-kun]

Oh my god, I'm such an asshole because I have friends outside of this forum.

aren't we technically friends from outside neogaf

#whoa #wow

 

[Tawpgun]

lol solo playlists are so easy to rank up in

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Didnt they already find out from reach individual based ranking didnt work?

 

[Ghazi]

Buddy, there's a lot of things that they didn't find out doesn't work from Reach.

 

[Tashi]

Yea but the playlists that have individual ranking in H4 either make sense (like FFA) or are the casual playlists. Therefore, I think it's actually fine.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Which playlists? DLC is nearly impossible alone.

 

[Poker Face]

Which playlists? DLC is nearly impossible alone.

theres a bunch of level 50's in a FFA already.

so probably that

Im slapping shit at IS

 

[Seibmoz]

Why can't I find a Spartan Laser anywhere on the DLC maps!! These achievements are a step back from the Majestic ones, seriously between this and the hardlight shield one ill never have this game 100%
