Just take the good parts and recreate it as much as you can in your post-school life while also being responsible and stuff. I feel like the thing that people most often miss about their college years is the sense of community, and while that's way easier to foster in a campus setting, it's also possible in adulthood. The other major thing people seem to miss is the sense of fulfillment and mental / creative stimulation, which is often times devoid in the nine-to-five grind of career life.
In short: work to create community + chase your dreams as much as life let's you.
Halo
No offense taken.
I meant a game just shows its dark sides once you play against or with the biggest idiots, who try to do everything to get shit done, Halo 2 had these issues. Glitches, bugs and more.
And then call me the one! The chosen one
Edit: lol the no scope gametype sounds stupid as hell
Really got back to that cardboard tube fov, regenerator/power drain, horribly inconsistent br, absurd murder laser, ar starts on Valhalla goodness that is halo 3 tonight.
It's so good! (Shoulda played mlg)
Serious though, how were ar starts on Valhalla ever a thing, and why is it in regular slayer when it's a btb map?

I'm kinda glad Halo turned out to be shit now. More incentive to get really drunk with friends, instead of sitting in your room playing video games.
But what if you were really drunk with friends AND playing Halo 3.

Well. It means you set video games over your friends which is kind of idiotic to do except your friends are Mr. Right Hand and Ms. Left Hand.
Hey that is kinda mean for people who have no friends, pls think about Elzar and Gui.
I remember when Urk used to make videos for us out of our saved films. I still have this up on YouTube.

Edit: Oops, that isn't one of them. That's one of the early render-to-video ones.
This is one of the one's Urk captured in 720p for me. Just uploaded it.

Me and Gui will have each other, occasionally we might pimp out ratchet Xand.
Yea that's a head scratcher
Between you and Gui there can be no friendship, it will always be something sexual.
Yeah if not an understatement.
Been rough night tonight. Just found out a friend of mine killed herself. She was only 17 and was like a sister to me. Fuck bullying. fuck.
Lots of alcohol, radio silence and maybe some Halo 3 campaign to keep my mind off things seems like a good idea right about now. Sorry about rant... but sometimes you gotta vent. If I get banned for being OT then w/e. See you guys on the flipside.

^^Damn man, my condolences.
Not really, since I was playing games with those friends. Right now though, we don't have a game we all play together, so we hang out much more IRL, instead of online.

Goddamn, bullying such a fucking bitch. Why can't people just be decent human beings to each other?
"Players will start with both the Beam Rifle and UNSC Sniper Rifle. Extensive playtesting went into this game type, and we decided to start players with the Beam Rifle as the primary weapon due to the fact that un-zoomed kills with this weapon come at a faster and smoother pace, and we believe that this leads to an optimal flow (as well as laughing, chaos, and epic multi-kills). As always, we look forward to hearing your feedback about this game type."

More like, impossible to miss. It's actually impressive when you miss a shot with an unscoped beam rifle.

I'd just like to know the reasoning behind the aim assist changes in the sniper rifle, especially the difference between the Beam Rifle and the regular Sniper. Why the fuck is the Beam Rifle's aim assist easier than any other weapon? I'd really, really like to know the reasoning behind these bullshit changes.

I think people miss deadlines, assignments, and getting drunk.
One could, but the numbers aren't there.
I think the numbers are there...
More people played Infinity Slayer and BTB. More people play CoD. People have a tendency to vote for the most broken map because when exploited you can get easy kills ie Swordbase in Infection or Complex all the time.
I guess. CoD clearly wins because it does it best. Halo 4 never captured that audience and that's why it's at like 25k players/day.
That's terrible. If you wanna PM me, feel free. I lost someone to suicide as well, and almost committed suicide a couple of times in high school.
...Halo! Back to Halo. I have been addicted to Rise of the Triad lately, but next time we do a Halo game night I'd love to play. I keep fucking missing them :\

They never captured it because it's impossible. This goes to every other game that tries to do it as well. COD players will only play COD, that is what developers need to understand. If the playlist for infinity is the most played it's because that is what 343 showed as the default mode. I doubt it is worth it to have that playlist the most populated when overall the numbers are embarrassingly low for a Halo game. Reach and any other Halo title a year later was easily 100k+. Halo 4 is 20k and still two months away from being a year old.

It doesn't even peak at those numbers anymore. GTA V brought it to about 18k or less. Once the new consoles are released and Halo 3 becomes free (lol) Halo 4 will be pretty lifeless.

18K peak?
Good Enough!

I bet Halo 3 or Reach will surpass the Halo 4 numbers this fall lol.

They should consider calling their playtesting area the BK Lounge (sorry Omelet). Beam rifle slayer for people with thumbs is going to be somewhere between SWAT and Lightning Flag.
Wanted to get in a few games on 3 so managed just before midnight to make it count. Big team was dead, couldn't even get a game, but social slayer was surprisingly easy to get a game going quickly and even for the most part even had a green bars most of the time and actually grouped up with some cool people almost right away, even coming together across different teams. We did get one irritating guy in the lobby, but only one match so that isn't too bad.
I couldn't 4-shot at all (It actually looked like I was hitting them, but they never dropped in 4) and took me a few games to remember where to find BRs, but then nobody really seemed to be completely on their game. Overall, just fun and good to revisit, though I didn't see all the maps I would have like to have played on. I'll probably try to throw it in again as the connections were much better than I would have thought.
But man, does it feel like you move slow.

I feel immensely floaty. I do think 343 nailed the feeling of being heavy and weighty yet still fast and capable. Also 3 is pretty bad in terms of feedback if you turn off the sound. It's fun to appreciate the strengths of the game as well as recognize where Reach and 4 topped it.

This x1000000000
Reach nailed it in terms of feedback, everything from how the weapon feels, to the shield flares, Halo 4 is slightly inferior in terms of feedback, the shield flares aren't as apparent, but the hit markers pretty much make up for that.
I think Reach would be hard to beat just because it had the "no death until shields pop" mechanic, which was great in theory if not in execution. Bleed through inherently makes it more of a guessing game.
Nothing worse than getting one shot by a sniper even though I had full shields and got hit in the body.

All this talk about Halo 3 is heart warming. Makes me sad though because I'm not about to resubscribe to live to play some Halo 3 for a time or two. Hurry up and get Halo 3 with MP out on Steam already damn it MS.

The counts are a lie, Daedilililiius and I went in Halo 3 last night and people were getting matched in Big Team even though the count said Zero (but would always reset before starting a game anyway). Social Slayer was surprisingly reliable for finding people, although it's crapshoot between super terrible people and guys who apparently have only been playing 3 since it came out (5-star Generals in Social Slayer).
