lol
this is all I could find. I'm sure you've probably seen it, but if not,
I would play in matchmaking just to be safe
That's coming to iOS? Damn, platform whoring it all, how does a fighting game like that even work on iOS since there are so many inputs needed?

Its already on iOS. Its free.
Its not really the console version its a swipe/tap based fighter. Its actually really fun and I've put a pretty big chunk of time into it. It has cross unlocks with the console version.
lol, why does 343 (Im sorry, I mean CA) hate symmetrical maps so much?

Finished the design for the Combiner!
It replaces the Needler and the Shotgun.
7 shots to kill. It's semi-automatic rather than automatic, though. You can fire it nearly as fast as you can pull the trigger, just like the Plasma Pistol. Homing function remains. Six huge needles form a big "crest" on the front of the gun that go partway into the front of the rifle when you shoot. Charging a shot will spend the entire clip and all the needles in the front of the gun, but it shoots out the entire clip's thing of needles at once, resulting in a shotgun-like blast with roughly a third of the potential range of a single shot. Obviously has a high rate of damage. It only takes 7 needles to kill charged, though, so if you sweep-shoot you can potentially blow up more than one person per shot (18 needles per clip).
That angled thing right behind the needles is an entire Needler clip, for scale. When you reload a little conveyor-belt style thing pushes the cluster into the front of the gun, at which point the needler compound works like play-doh, squeezing out of the six holes of the crest and then cooling/hardening into their usual shape.
Rather than run on blamite like the Needler and Needle Rifle, it runs on "blamethyst," a way colder compound that accordingly affects the sounds (which sound more crisp and icy now) and the steam/particles visible.

Wow, I might need to download that later since you get cross unlocks. Me and some friends were planning to pick it up on the 19th/20th, so I may need to jump on dem goodies.
One question, is 'blamite' the canonical materiel used in the 'needle' type munitions?

Unlocks are split into two tiers.
Giveaways
New 52 Green Lantern (Win a few fights)
Knightfall Bane (Rate the Game)
Grind
Buy a Joker Card (48,000 points about an hours gameplay)
Buy a Batman Card (182,000 points 4-5 hours of grinding)
Here is a tutorial for the best grinding method I've found.
Some good news: Daybreak's mancannon is a forge object and can be removed. Some bad news: Daybreak doesn't have a Structure category so you can't actually fix the problem.
I take that first bit back. The most baffling thing is that two of the three maps in this pack are asymmetric but the game doesn't have any asymmetric gametypes.
The most baffling thing is that all of their prerelease messaging about this map emphasized that the bases were functionally symmetric, but that's very clearly not the case. I mean, it was obvious even from the flythrough that red's base was easier to run the flag from (which makes the whole "this is my favorite CTF map in the entire series" thing pretty hilarious). It has a ton of potential because I like a lot about the map, but it doesn't work with symmetric gametypes.

lol, I still haven't even bothered d/l the maps, I can't believe how down I am with this game.

I'm thinking of doing a start to finish Halo 2 Legendary run, and I wanted to stream it. However, my capture card software is still being dumb and I can't get it to work :/
Sweet! Thanks for letting me know about all this, I'm downloading it now.

Bioshock Infinite is good. Best game I've played this gen since RDR and Bioshock 1.

Make sure you create a WBID and when you get the pop up to rate the game do it right there and then because if not you have to redownload the game and lose all your progress to unlock the Bane skin.

Have you played SFIV with touchscreen controls? It surprisingly plays well.
What about Halo 4?

Bungie always called it blamite. We never got a real explanation behind it other than you can mine the stuff you need for it out of a moon of the Elite homeworld, but I like to think 343's going to give the "blam" prefix some complicated acronym like "biological lacerating assault mitigator" or some shit.

That's the hottest girl in Game of Thrones, and that's saying a lot.
SSIV? I thought they only had 3, I never played that either because I honestly can't imagine how annoying it'd be to do inputs with the touch screen, I think it costed money too.
I think I still have one from when I played Gotham City Imposters, when the game's done downloading I'll try logging in with that account. thanks for the heads up about rating too, I probably would've skipped it.
The Storm Rifle's alright, it's better than the piece of shit Plasma Repeater in Reach at least.
Nathalie Emmanuel coming for dat throne.
yeah

She is beautiful. Just a natural good looking woman.
So many good looking women on the show. Natalie Dormer, Nathalie Emannuel, Emilia Clarke, the two handmaidens of the khaleesi the first two seasons, etc. Hell even Melisandre (Carice Van Houten) is a Dutch beauty in real life.
EDIT: apparently, I also found out a day or two ago Shae, is actually a former german/turkish pornstar. But she looks way different now because of rhinoplasty and surgery.

Protip: golden oldies like the Needler / Shotgun would still show up in campaign and be available for use in Custom Games. However, the main playlists would have a mandatory weapon sandbox that needs to be adhered to, which consists of the 20 weapons and 4 grenades.
All sorts of crazy shit shows up in other places, though. Like an ONI Hard Sound Rifle.
So with individual CSR in a team based gametype - do they give you a negative hit on your CSR if you don't finish in the top 1/2 of all players in the game (even if you go positive, have assits, etc.)?
EDIT - So it seems that individual CSR has literally nothing to do with K/D or even K+A/D. It's all based on "score" in a game. So can go 15k 25d and as long as you're in the top 4 players in the game (according to score) you can still rank up. I have zero understanding of how that makes any sort of sense whatsoever.

I wish 343 could wow me the way that Halo 1 and Halo 2 wowed me.

Is Castle's CSR rank based on Win Loss or Personal Performance.
How else am I going to pull off my yy, quick-no-scope-36-acrossthemap-barrelstuff-fakey-silentshot-clips?
whoa, what a coincidence. as I was spacing out in class today,I sketched out a promethean acoustics weapon.
Castle is team win/loss
Win/Loss. Super frustrating to go in alone and try to rank up.
