I'm having a hard time figuring out which FPS I want to go for this next gen. I had figured I'd skip the first COD, but stuff like this is making it hard.

I'd say wait on Ghosts. Perhaps rent it out first. Test MP. If you really like it then get it.

BF4 looks really good. Most of my friends are either playing GTA V or BF4 Beta right now.

Titanfall looks fun but something's lacking about it. But can't put my finger on it.

Destiny looks good. Hopefully it's more than what people are saying it being a Sci-fi version of Borderlands.

Ellis said things aren't as active atm as before they were trying to meet Halo 4's deadline. It's been real quiet regarding Halo 5 news, we've only received Axis Animation trailer & Cloak Chief Avatar, nothing else yet.

 

[BigShow36]

OT: hey BigShow, did you used to post on IGN during the glory days of Halo (when Halo 2 was releasing?) I feel like I remember you making quality posts about how crappy Halo 2 was in comparison to Halo CE... I mainly lurked (as I do now), but yeah funny to see people stick with the series for so long even though deep down we never get what we want out of a new Halo game.

Remember that other poster, fireborn?

Yeah that was me.

Why is APK's countdown forge remake so special and different from any other remake players do. A teaser trailer, a release trailer, like 5 videos of him making it, an interview in the Halo bulletin.

And it took him 4 months to do it

In the absence of good gameplay to talk about, Halo fans need something to do.

 

[Prinz Eugn]

player counts kinda speak for themselves, and you can't ignore that.

I think it's in a terrible state and Halo 4's multiplayer is a failed experiment but I don't think the whole franchise is dead. It might be dead to people on a personal level, but they're still making games, some people are still playing it, and we're still talking about it. But nothing ever really dies anymore anyway. If they're still making new Star Wars movies, Harry Potter books, and Sonic the Hedgehog games, then I think there's zero chance Halo is going to daed.

What I find ironic is the fact that if Halo were actually dead, people wouldn't be talking about it, so every "halo is dad" post just proves the opposite. If Halo is dead to you, why keep talking about it? Go find a new hobby, there are at least one or two out there.

Halo might be super shitty and marginalized, but it's always going to be there, lurking until the next revival attempt. And maybe Halo Reach 3's spinoff, Jun's Sock Cleaning Service for Windows Brain Implant Phone 2 will bring Halo back into the mainstream and it'll be alive all over again. Who knows?

We're sharing ignore lists now?

What is this, I don't even.

That's like HaloGAF as a whole.

 

[Nebula]

I wonder when the mods will show up and throw us back in off topic.

I've never really liked the idea of ignore lists. HaloGAF, even with how shitty it can get, still comes out with some quality posts. How can I see these gems when I've got half the thread ignored?

Only ignored one person myself, and that's because he was insulting someone for something related to a going on outside the forum. Might have even been an alt because the person hasn't posted in ages.

Announcing ignores should be bannable. Creates hostility within a thread/community and does nothing to add to what's going on. Basically flaming.

/2cents.

Is BTB fixed yet?

The music choices for both those videos are FUCKING perfect. Why can't we just have a fun game like Halo 2 again? I know 343 has it in them, they just have to make a choice. :'{

Its dead in relative terms, not literally dead. Its far less popular and of much poorer quality gameplay wise than it used to be.

Haha, agreed. I don't actually have anyone ignored. I think it'd ruin the community a bit to ignore other users. I would only ignore someone if they constantly harass me/someone else, and at that point it'd be more effective to just report them.

The way I see it, everyone here has there own opinion and post style, and to ignore someone for it takes away what makes HaloGAF a community.

I love all you guys <3

I've noticed that in H3 Valhalla, nobody rushes for sniper anymore. Sometimes I'll even forget about it respawning, randomly check for it and wallah, it's there, waiting for my warm embrace. I feel so spoiled. Am I in the twilight zone, are the sniper gods about to play a cruel trick on me?

 

[kittens]

I'm really excited for the video sharing features on the next gen consoles. Now we just need a good Halo or Halo replacement so that I'll actually feel compelled to make clips.

I wonder if GameUpload on Xbox One will take away 343's ambition at making a theater mode in Halo 5? I mean why bother making a theater mode when gamers can just record automatically via the system.

I would hate to lose theater mode. It's perfect for beautiful in game camera pans and scenery picture taking.

Also bring back campaign theater.

I know when I hopped back in Halo 3 I kept forgetting about it, since in 4 you have the ordnance indicator showing you that it's there if you are anywhere close.

i've been posting in this community for just about 6 years now. a lot of the people i know and like are gone, but the few that still remain are worth conversing and bullshitting with.

I was also confused.
I blame the alcohol in my case for not seeing myself on the list.

No idea what Speedy's excuse is. A nip from a can of energy

Yeah, I'm pretty much done with Halo, and I'm not buying the Xbox One. I still post because there are some cool people here.

Or you could just shoot really fast and win some battles anyway because it's random with a little boost from bullet magnetism.

More accurate.

 

[Nebula]

I like to check up on what's going on. Still clinging on to the smidgen of hope I have left.

I'll try and get into the customs night if we're having one this weekend. I'd like to actually get a chance to play with some more of you guys before the ship inevitably sinks.

You cant SPAM your shots the DMR will shoot that shit everywhere. You gotta pace. If you need lessons I only charge 15$ an hour via paypal.

Look at my Reach stats. Pacing is on average way more efficient but those battles with the stray bullet victories ruin it way too often. A mechanic that let's the guy using the gun less optimally win sometimes just because is stupid.

ENGAGE MULTIQUOTE MOTHERFUCKER

If Wahrer is confused then you have done the impossible.

Too easy.

More like I didn't realize Unknown of all people had his head up his ass. Religiously hoping CE2 exists is one thing, but thinking all positivity am dumb is weird. Subjectivity and all that.

As an aside, can anyone explain to me why Elites weren't used for hardcore gametypes in Reach?

- They have the Halo 2/3 health system.

- They run at Spartan sprint speed naturally, and are actually animated for it, so no weird ice-skating feeling.

Was it ever considered, or since one person was in charge of the gametypes, it just never came up? Seems like they would have been a fairly solid method for getting Halo 2/3 style gameplay in Reach, if that's what the HC community was after.

Probably stigma. Something something "nobody wan play a dinosars"

Screw it, here's this thing I drew:

This reminds me of all those tiered weapons we got concept art of from the canned Halo MMO. Like, Light Rifle Stage 5 or something. Alt skin pls

Heckfu (Earth) / Juices (Fire) / Plywood (Water) / Wahurrurur (Wind) are like the four quintessential elements of Halogafistan, apparently

I'm actually working on a re-imagined BR since I don't like the look of the Halo 4 one very much.

If you need to crouch to be accurate, it's a shitty Halo game.

 

[The Henery]

I would hate to lose theater mode. It's perfect for beautiful in game camera pans and scenery picture taking.

You've answered your own question. Direct feed recording isn't the same thing as having the ability to pan to 3rd person and beyond and record omnipotently. I wouldn't worry about that, I can't see multi theatre going anywhere. It's far more utilised than campaign theatre was.

 

[User 73706]

I'm actually working on a re-imagined BR since I don't like the look of the Halo 4 one very much.

:O

Wait a second - stupid question, but I live under a rock. I didn't know you did halo art stuff. What is it exactly you do? I always thought you worked with MLG or something.

Pretty pathetic that Speedy blocked Stalker who was the only reason he got Un-Permabanned by Bish when he was acting like a shill in the Xbox One threads.

The fact that Speedy of all people got resurrected so quickly is ridiculous. I'm going to make a wager with Bish and Ghaleon that EazyB gets revived on the next mainline title that features a chopper in exchange for my e-soul.

EDIT: @Madness, Speedy's ignore list is definitely a joke - he just ignored pretty much everyone who's posted in the past few pages, hence why Plywood and I aren't on it.

You should strive for just being ignored all together. Like, posting such terrible posts people don't even bother placing you on an ignore list. They just straight up ignore you.

That's what I've got going down over here. And I wasn't even trying!
