Sergeant Johnson: We have enough to worry about without you two trying to kill each other.
Arbiter: Were it so easy.

Tap into this 343. The Arbiter is one of the greatest characters in Halo; I'd be devastated if he wasn't in the next game.

Devastated.

Joking aside, maybe put a list of streams url up for those who will stream them playing, maybe list people's gamertags so that anyone who reads the thread can message and join up. Try and recapture the community of HaloGAF, have one large send off for the game as people move onto next gen.

Booties and I are having so much fun on Halo 3. If we could just get Kyle and Juices and, hell, everyone back on it would be amazing.

Yeah we gotta put together some death squads so we can shake off the dust together and wape as a cohesive unit once more.

 

[El_Chino]

So is Halo 3 free yet?

So is Halo 3 free yet?

I think it's free Wednesday.

 

[El_Chino]

I think it's free Wednesday.

Damn it, really thought it'd be Tuesday.

 

[Booties]

Damn it, really thought it'd be Tuesday.

Nah, wednesday. It's the 1st and 16th of every month.

 

[CyReN]

Free games usually come out the day before real late, like 10pm est.

Hey CyReN, you see that Team Instinct is reformed with Og2, FearitSelf, Roy and LBX?

Pretty crazy shit, havent seen Gandhi this enthused for Halo in a loooong time:

A death squad with heckfu?
Sure then you could also add franklinator and me if this level of skill is enough for a death squad.

No hate only love.

Will return to Halo 3 tommorrow, I liked it, but will not pretend that it was perfect.

Please don't link any Gandhi stuff in this thread

Thank you

[The Real Napsta]

I played some Halo 3 last night. Man, was it laggy.

 

[aHebrewMenagerie]

The king never left.

Fuuuuucccckkkkk, I'll never get over how good that marketing campaign was. God-Tier stuff, right there.

 

[FyreWulff]

As far as this comment, let's remember we're playing a game and people don't have the memories of a goldfish. After you shoot a weapon a few times, you know what it does. A Rocket doesn't have to be gigantic just like a skill-based precision weapon that has the potential to kill fast doesn't have to be a rifle.

Stop treating your fanbase like idiots.

Having good silhouettes and role communication isn't treating your playerbase like idiots, it's just good game design. It allows you to more quickly ID what a person has or their role is at the reflex level instead of having to take multiple seconds to figure out what they are.

A rocket doesn't have to be gigantic, no, but if your rocket launcher looks like an AR, people are going to end up frustrated when they thought they were ambushing someone with an automatic and instantly blow up. The gun design themselves also play into their balance; using the laser also means you have to walk around with a claustrophobic view of the action.

You pick this weapon up? You know it's powerful. People seeing you carry it know it's powerful. And to top it off, that size means you lose visibility, playing into the balance of the weapon.

And after a bit of playing, you process this information at the reflex level, due to the visual design.

So one of my good friends cousins tested Halo 5's multiplayer. Apparently it's significantly better than 4's. But who knows, 343 might scrap it again and replace it with Infinity.

Thank you

Awww, alright. Anyhow, im super excited for Team Instinct to come back. This WILL cause extra people to watch.

 

[Gui_PT]

Awww, alright. Thought it was just pertinent info for people who care about AGL H3!

No. NO. Bad Massacre. BAD.

My brother's friend's dad played it too, but he thought it was terrible.

 

[TS x Massacre]

Fixed I'm actually going to go out of my way and head home that weekend from my university, it's also my 23rd birthday weekend, so that'll be fun. H3 revival is like my early birthday gift I suppose.

Care to elaborate on the details?

I merely jest my good man. Feel free to post as you wish.

Thank ya sir, wasn't sure if actually serious, i took like a 10 month break from Halogaf, i'm still rusty! (But not as rusty as my BR is in H3... feels bad man.)

My brother's friend's dad played it too, but he thought it was terrible.

Except that i'm actually being serious.

I'll ask him about the details later. I'll post what he says.

I'll ask him about the details later. I'll post what he says.

But is your good friends cousin being serious? Also, anyone playing it for the first few times is going to love it because of that newness feeling. If he tests it for more than a month, and still holds that opinion, it'll carry much more weight.

This is skepti-GAF, but thanks, i'm definitely interesting in hearing about it regardless!

WHAT?

 

[Tawpgun]

My uncles friends sons father in law works at bungie and he says Halo 5 is super cool and the BXR is back and so is the halo 1 pistol


But for real. Domino, spill the beans!

Significantly better than Halo 4 is subjective, I'm looking forward to those juicy deets.

I remember that part was implemented in Halo 4, why do you have to do it two times.

Delta Halo was so damn pretty and so damn good.

Halo 2 gondolas were not a great part of the game (particularly the Library shaft ascent) so I find it curious they replicated it.

Combat wise they weren't that good.

But what I remember most for them was they gave me a huge sense of scale. Better than Halo 4 ever did.

When that hugeass door opens up in the Library Gondola, seeing enemies hundreds of yards away. Good shit. Forerunner environments should be large and imposing.

[HigherLevel]

So in the 8 Xbox One myths thread in gaming, OXM says 343 has two projects in the works. I've seen this stated multiple times now on different websites as well as by many people outside this thread. Where are people getting the two team thing? I haven't seen it discussed here so I'm wondering why everyone outside of this thread keeps saying 343 has two teams/two projects. I find it hard to believe considering how much of Halo 4 was outsourced.

Talking about scale this was the defining moment from any of the Halo campaigns for me, and the first time I said WOW this current gen.

I remember the music was so epic during that moment. I can't seem to remember the name of that specific track though .
