Best cheese I ever had was from Mexico.



Seriously. Though I maintain that would also make it look like a Space FAMAS more so than it already does. h8 u 343i weapon designs

Halo 4 definitely sucked in the progression department, so I'm sure they're going to be adding stuff (and hopefully making it cosmetic-only). Thinking back, Unreal Tournament (the original) let you change not only the shape and color of your reticle but the tint of your entire HUD, which sounds better than getting Perk A or Perk B. And how many idiots would put in a thousand games just to get a smiley face in the middle of their screen?

I think custom crosshairs are a bad idea unless it's for loadout weapons only and there's a standardized set of two primary weapons. Otherwise I don't know how much fun I'd have having a weed crosshair override it for each of my guns.

I do like the idea of custom HUD tints, though.

EDIT: Destiny has a good idea, imo - the primary HUD is white, but "flavor text" stuff (things that need to be highlighted for the sake of weapon upgrades, objectives, etc.) have been a muted blue along the lines of Halo 4's team color. I could see Halo 5's HUD working with a mostly-white HUD, but with a modifiable flavor text color option.

Whatever you can unlock that doesn't affect gameplay and isn't crazy-looking sounds fine for me. A simpler set of armor configs that allow a broader array of armor skins also sounds like a better option than the number of unlocks we have. At least for me, I think that the armory concept worked better than commendation and XP unlocks, but I dunno what the majority of players prefer.

I suppose I'll ask it here too, does anyone have a spare 48 hr code they'd be willing to let me use? I was planning on playing some Reach and 3 tonight and hopefully join up for some customs this weekend.

I'll go raid my game cases to see if I have any unopened - if I do, I'll let you know.

Does anyone know if GTAV came with a 48 hour trial?

 

[Syphon Filter]

Are you guys doing weekend Halo 3 games?

 

[Prinz Eugn]

I'll be there. If anybody wants to practice tonight I'll be on later (GT Prinz Eugn).

Check your PMs.

I'm playing Anniversary Snipers on Headlong, run for camo at the beginning of the match, and bump into a fusion coil on my way there. Nine minutes later a teammate shoots the fusion coil once, it explodes, they die, and I get a betrayal.

fix your shit bungle

Also: You all should play Reach more.

 

[User 73706]

All those xbl avatar purchases finally pay off. Speedy redeemed??

Can't for the weekly teases. I demand a update on Destiny water graphics.

Someone should make a thread about the mailsack. I have to run out the door soon or I would.

 

[wwm0nkey]

I like how the bindings look similar to the novel covers. Looks good.

Thanks man, and yeah I really like the art for Spartan Assault, so I said screw it, might as well, besides, brought me to an even 10 cases, I like round numbers

Thanks man!

Here are my books

(minus Silentium, I had that book shipped to my moms house back in Florida, read it on my phone lol)

P.S.
fuck the designers for making these so god damn inconsistent with font size and positioning

 

[Karl2177]

I'm on reach. Get on peeps.

Oddly, No, just the flying dirigible thing. Unlike Halo 4 that have 14 days of gold trial

I can be on in a bit

I personally prefer the original style. Simple and clear. Transfers well to those game covers.

 

[Hey You]

Bungie Weekly Updates coming back next week y'all. And something bigger, too.

Possibily a beta. Someone found a beta link on the Destiny site.

Yeah I have those box sets also ;p
I had to rebuy all the originals in the new size so I wouldn't lose my mind, lol

Not going to lie, that looks like the demon seed of Powerhouse and Complex with the visual style of Cragmire.

you caught me!

Im not a real Halo fan

lol

 

[malfcn]

Those be some fine covers.

 

[Sai-kun]

I find them corny. Have you seen them on gowj? A pink lancer throws off the whole look of the game.

I wish 343 had gone as far as Epic with the skins.

I want fucking pink and rainbow spartans and guns. Would pay 800 allards for them

I really wonder how Destiny will handle pvp areas

Two of the cases are black so the covers don't fix this. You must get two green cases.

If not, you have failed.

So Lord Zedd figured out how to get campaign games to save in Theater mode.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmwaOVX6m84

From the looks of it, it looks like it works just fine? Im assuming maybe the cutscenes in the middle of a few missions might screw it up? Im not sure yet.

How do you do it and why wasn't this available with the game at launch?

That's pretty awesome. I was planning to do something similar, but I realised that the Limited Editions of Halo 2, 3 and 4 would have screwed up any uniformity I wanted.

 

[Karl2177]

Elzar, when are you getting on Halo 3? You know you want to play with your favorite Karlito.

Also on a random side note, I went to a party last night on the floor below me. They make a drink for one of the girls that went with us, but she didn't want it anymore. She hands the drink to me, and we leave before I have any. I go back to my place and finish about half of it and apparently I'm asleep on the floor. So either I'm a ridiculous lightweight(other nights would say differently) or they were trying to drug her. :/

Controversial post of the day...

Halo 3 on LAN > Halo 2 on LAN

If you're playing an unupdated Halo 2, sure.

Happy birthday, heckfu!

Tonight, my Karlito.

Approximately 6-6.5 hours from now.

Speedrunning Halo 3 is da shizz

You all ready for H3 Customs tonight? 9PM Eastern

Recently checked out some of the modes for BF4 and came across this tidbit. Found this very interesting seeing as it relates to Halo and the changes made to CTF:

Compared to Conquest, the action in Obliteration tends to be heavily focused on wherever the bomb is located. Since there’s only one bomb at a time, you will often find yourself going from attacker to defender in the blink of an eye. You need to be able to predict enemy movement to defend at the right place at the right time and reclaim the offensive – or intercept the enemy to reclaim possession of the bomb. The constantly shifting playing field from offense to defense is partly inspired by American football – with the detonation of an enemy installation being the Battlefield equivalent of scoring a touchdown.

Getting more and more excited for this game, but I can't help to think about what 343 changed in Halo 4. The KILL waypoints and autopickup coupled with not being able to drop the flag really hurt the fun of that gametype. Hopefully this is realized for the next release, as well as Assault making a return.

WHADDUP MOTHERFUCKERS, GUESS WHO'S BACK?

Just spend the last month travelling Tanzania, shit was wick. How's Halo been? Oh yeah I remember! Eric Nylund; the last, best hope for the series fiction left 343i, presumably disgusted with how the canon turned out.

Fucking disaster.

Its looks like a variant of COD's Sabotage but the bomb changes side in the same round ?

Interesting mix, I hope the game recognize and balances the bomb location.
