Well I'm glad you have the patience for making these game types, I certainly wouldn't. So how did it change between reach and four?
These are exactly the channels that I hoped would be completely wiped out by Youtube's new content shit. Exactly these channels.

I had to replace the navpoints and the flag object for the beacon object (only object in H4 whick lets you pick i up and drop whenever you want) plus a few more things I removed or added.
Defenseman and defensive. Splitting hairs I know, but defender reminds me of soccer. But it's only because the Wild are a young franchise, otherwise, the North Stars have had a ton of studs for a while including former defenseman and captain Ted Harris.

I forgot how much better Reach's menu music than Halo 4's.

Good stuff Ghazi
Can't believe that idiot in the Banshee on Spire. Dude was wrecking everybody and then just spiraled into a big rock in the middle of nowhere for no reason. Practically kills himself and I only have to turret at him for like two seconds to kill him. What a dummy.

They've been alluding to it in the books quite a bit.
Bear revealed that instead of all of the Forerunners dying, a good chunk of them are still alive and went away. Guilty Spark is still alive as well and knows where to find the Librarian. He stole an ONI ship and went off to find her.
It would not surprise me at all to see a cliffhanger in Halo 5 relating to them finding the Forerunners before they play a big part in Halo 6. Just a guess though.
That was way too good. I was looking straight at him when it happened so I'll gif it tomorrow lol.

Halo needs a Turok Tek Bow.
Master Chief somehow reunites with Guilty Spark as they travel around the galaxy on a journey to discover the remaining Forerunners. My hype level at the potential of a mysterious CE-esque campaign just shot up a little bit.
I know we won't get anything of the sort, but it's good to dream.

You need to check out the Halo done Segmented runs. Pure awesome. I think NOKYARD and maybe some others here were involved in the years of work for those.
There was a live speedrun of Reach on Legendary a while back if you're interested. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmDwAWvSUbI

Pendulum is great for Halo multi.
I could see that, I enjoyed listening to Kavinsky and Daft Punk while I played so I don't see why Pendulum wouldn't be equally enjoyable. I should give them a shot one day, while I play.
Cody also did Halo 1 at an AGDQ before that, but it's not polite to discuss that.
I have pretty high expectations for Monopoli's run. The guy is extremely dedicated and skilled with Halo 2 speedrunning. And with crazy Halo campaign content in general I suppose, he even has a T2T under his belt (just days after Duelies landed it, heh).

Personally, I like to listen to country songs about drinking when I'm drinking and playing Halo.
It makes for the most fun. That + Daft Punk, I s'pose.

Yeah, AFFC was definitely a bit of a chore for me. Namely how it focuses on some characters entirely and does not feature some fan favorites in any way. I understand what GRRM was trying to do but ugh it was boring to read some people every other chapter.
DWD starts off quite slow, but it returns to characters that have been either misused or altogether ignored in some of the previous books toward the end and really benefits from it.
Pretty good cliffhanger as well.
Damn, didn't need to know about the cliffhanger because now I'll be expecting it. But yeah, that's exactly it, like I wanted to read more about certain characters and what happened from the previous book, but it completely shifted gears. Apparently feast for crows and dance with Dragons is meant to be like one super book, so I can't wait to read what happens to the characters he didn't talk about in book 4.
So I take it S arcade is a no go with Halo 3 co-op then?
Every single ASOIAF book ends with a cliff-hanger, brah. Whatever you're expecting... it probably won't be that.
You're right. Actually reading Dance right now, first chapter as I post this. Anyways, don't want to derail the thread too much so I'll stop posting about it now.

Yup. 1st chapter is killing the POV of that chapter. Last chapter is cliffhanger. Every time.
The answer is on the back of your Halo 3 box.
Basically, you're screwed if you don't have an HDD (or a memory unit, for those still rocking a jet engine 360).
Fun fact: games that use the HDD as a cache also sometimes don't run as well on HDD-less SKUs, even when they technically work. In a couple cases, the quirks can be rather weird. For instance, Halo 3 has a TON of sound assets and uses the HDD to help stream them, so playing without an HDD means you have far fewer sound permutations.
The existence of HDD-less SKUs was a bizarre move for the successor to a console that thrived on its built-in hard drive, really.
Well, we were able to play Halo 4 on his Slim Arcade. I thought the Halo 3 requirement was fixed for some reason. He tried the onboard storage and a MS branded memory stick. No go for either. We could do MP, but no campaign.

Learning how to gif. Also is a map I am working on.
In your head.
I don't think Halo 4 has the HDD requirement, and they did patch Reach so you could play co-op without a HDD, but ODST and Halo 3 require it. I got a 4GB arcade as my first console and was super-bummed, but HDDs are pretty cheap now even with the Microsoft tax.
It will always be weird to me they didn't just include the same dinky 10GB HDD from the OXBOX in the 360, since it caused all this stupidity and Microsoft was thinking ahead of the curve including a HDD in the first place.
I don't know why but the small electric effect in the Brute Shot projectile explosion made the weapon especially cool in Halo 3. It gave it sort of alien feel: not just chemical high explosive but some sort chemical-electric hybrid.
And of course the confusion six rapidly fired explosions caused in enemies...
Oh, and using the Brute Shot to boost Mongoose: the passenger shoots the Brute Shot just under the Mongoose, launching it. With some practice, it made the Mongoose an effective weapon in itself...
EDIT while Halo 2's bouncing shots from Brute Shot were fun, the weapon was not particularly fun in that game otherwise.
A shame Bungie had to replace the Brute Shot with the incredibly boring Concussion Rifle. I understand the reason: "same niche but fits Elites as well", but it is still boring. They did keep the Spiker for some odd reason for Brutes, even though they can and do use other weapons too.
