Halogaf secret I think
That is bad really, that is awful that someone thought halo 4 "gets" what made CE different.

regard: Polygon = residentsleeper
Phil Kollar's Halo career is nothing short of "illusory", as he puts it. He has no business writing a review for anything Halo especially saying "Its lost what makes Halo special" because he doesn't know what makes Halo special...
That said, fuck microtransactions.
Have yet to play it.

Such a beautiful post. You sir, are a king among men.
Needs to be in the OP and every new page.
I think we just found our first article for HaloGAF Magazine.
That's a big fire, posting ring of fire would be insensitive then?
Oddone you should frame that
.Which one was that? I remember a lot of the Community Cartographer maps were pretty decent.
And on the topic of maps... I'm gonna come out and say it.. Sword Base was pretty fun. If Reach didn't have broken as hell armor abilites and the grenades, it would be a pretty good map. As long as the yellow lift room was blocked off.
All these rationalizations regarding them removing weapons for X reason because Y netcode and Z datapoint are missing one significant fact.
Fact: they removed a decent, mildly skillful, fun weapon and replaced it with a shitty, skill-less, un-fun weapon.
Frankly, I don't care what their professed reason for removing or adding a weapon was. All I care about is how it turned out.
This has always been the crux of my arguments. You can make all the excuses in the world for WHY you did or did not do something, but if the end result in-game is bad, then you're a bad game designer. Bungie and 343 have given me a million excuses over the years, but the end result is that the MP has gotten progressively worse and worse. That's why I criticize; if you can't objectively see the affects your decisions are having on the game, REGARDLESS of your rationalizations for them, then you're a bad designer.

I loved this map. It somehow made vehicle combat and infantry combat work. Was pretty basic aesthetically.

Random: Why does the Revenant in Halo Reach slightly change colors once you enter it?
Beautiful.

Asphalt was this map:
Kinda a big box really with different levels lower for vehicles and upper for mixed combat worked quite well. I preferred delta facility (mount lam lam i kinda liked or maybe abridged) :
Can we even view screen shots on waypoint?
BTB could have really done with more falcon inclusion it was used as transport in spire invasion for the objective which was always hilarious to watch.
I do not like being called a liar. Please don't do it. I have never deliberately lied to anyone I wasn't trying to romance. I have certainly been WRONG, on countless occasions, in fact, I have disagreed with people, I have given explanations that people simply didn't like, I have communicated features and facts that have later changed. I have teased, obfuscated and trolled. But please do not call me a liar.
Happy New Year.
You're my favourite poster. Although Mount Lam Lam was a bit strange. Decent but played weirdly. Maybe when Halo 5 releases we can go run BTB.
We need more BTB dongers in HaloGAF. Oh and a game to dong on.

I want this as a tag.
I am honestly amazed you don't have one yet. Some of your posts are just so damn taggable.
I did like Asphalt as well, it had a vaguely ODST-like vibe and would rock as a developer map. I miss vertical maps--really we have only gotten those kinds of elevations in Halo 1 maps mostly.
Frankie lies to the women in his life? I forsee a series of heightened and improbable Hollywood plots may arise...
We're in a ghetto of our own. A strange, salty ghetto.

They really fucked BTB in H4, All I played back in Reach was Invasion and BTB... now I have barely touched Dominion aka I dunno wtf is going on aka why can't I hold all these ordinance drops... don't even get me started on BTB and personal loadouts wich kill vehicle combat.
Let me show you the true power of the Plasma Pistol.
But loadouts fucked Halo 4 vehicle combat right up.
Yeah. BTB was my jam in Reach. The clusterfuck known as Infinity Slayer and people spawning with PP/stickies just ruined it for me. Not to mention Ragnarok was awful with people jetpacking around while sniping people with their binary rifles.
I saw that.
Ghosts kill times are already stupidly fast. Also the spawns are stupidly easy to manipulate.
Good.
Shia Labeouf used you as inspiration for his Flintstone character.
You should have left it. It was good.
I highlighted your problem.

But funk also made well detailed posts in the past
It's the same few people waiting for any opportunity to crap on my hyperbolic and "childish" posts, completely disregarding all my posts before them.
My use of FUN is deliberate. Why? Because we're talking about a video game and each Halo release is less fun than the last. What's so complicated about this? Have we not spoken in depth about aim assist, bullet magnetism, etc.? Why is this constantly disregarded when trying to shit on other people's posts when they've talked extensively about this stuff in the past?
Seems Karl forgot to throw that in his little wall.
That's the key IMO. Take the best aspects of each game and create them in an environment within the improved netcode these days. CE weapons on dedicated servers in an updated engine.. How can some people twist that into being a bad thing??
The bolded is something is often disregarded when going into a new release; people forget of allllllllllllll the shit the fans have been put through over what? Because Bungie wanted to kill off the idea of a utility weapon? Because Bungie wanted to create intentional inconsistencies and randomness to give lesser-skilled players a chance to beat players better than them through artifical means??
Give me a damn break.. OddOne creating that infographic just shows the little clique they have when many people aside from myself have proven it to be full of crap without taking everything into consideration. Fuck the noise.
So how can you willingly say some of the things over the years without consciously being aware of it being BS? You're obviously a smart dude, so that's why I labeled it as such. Either way, maybe "lying" was a poor choice of words for the point I was getting across and I hope you didn't take the tone of that post offensively.
It's just the poor communication we've seen over the years doesn't make sense, especially when we're often left in the dark. Outside of Halo forums and Halo fans, I defend this franchise like no other, despite being aware of these things. We all want more people to play Halo, we all want Halo to be better, and many of our ideas overlap, but some of these decisions don't make sense, so when coupled with bizarre reasoning that doesn't acknowledge greater issues people begin to lose faith. However, look at how many people want Halo 5 to be excellent and are ready to drop a lot of money just to get it.
Also, you may not like being called a liar but I don't like your many Pistol jokes ;]
Fight me.

Oh man, COD HC? aka smg fest aka shoot trought walls aka run like hell
1. Ok I didn't Jet Pack at all but if I ever needed to because of a custom game I was screwed.
2. Eww.
BTB is easy to dong on in 4 even with my carbine people suck at mid range,I found some of my reach BTB screen shots (I know there not great).
I'm in the wraith then got a triple kill from that falcon on delta facility.
Double kill with the turret on Mt Lam Lam those rocks where great for cover flow was a bit weird some times.
It is a shame 4 BTB has PP and nades and the turrets out in the open.
That character sheet

Going by Polygon, Gamespot, Co-Optimus, Eurogamer ES, and a few others, it seems to be getting between 4/10 and 6/10 generally.
Don't dig this hole any deeper, mate.

claw your clawing to ennumerate the tactical hypotenuse
My main man from another clam, Alzarahn, made that. He too is a CC now. Think he may have remade that map in H4. Not sure though.
