Oh this wasn't what I thinking of lol - Now that I think about it, it was from the GI issue Fracas posted about IIRC.

I agree in a sense. That's what I thought it would be like. If it's just like original Mass Effect where you go to your ship and you just get a cutscene I'd be somewhat disappointed.
No Man's Sky is what I'd like. You get into your ship and control it like the Sabre in Reach. Sometimes some enemy ships come, and you can fly almost anywhere from the Earth to the Moon and then when you want to go further, you use lightspeed and it brings you there, but still far enough that you can fly around, enter the atmosphere and then it becomes that cutscene in the E3 trailer where the guy gets dropped off on the planet.

Wait, is it Destiny or No Man's Sky with ships that can't be piloted?

Sabotage (gennie defense) is starting to take form and it's looking pretty great, can't wait to have a playable version ready for HaloGAF to test!
If you have any suggestions or ideas for the gametype now it's the time to share them

Bungie's MO is all about unrecognized potential these days.
:lol speedy.
No man's sky looks really pretty. If a game looks good aesthetically and play's well graphics don't really matter to me if a game can look like that throughout without sacrificing game play aspects to do so.

Only thing I'm not a fan of about NMS is those weapon names. The hell?

It would be so awesome though... Isn't this supposed to be the next gen, we are supposed to be having our minds blown, not being limited to the same technical constraints of the last gen.
I understand they can't have all of the solar system just be free roam, so they could just have a map for a small chunk of the orbit of each planet, populated and shared with other guardians. Populate it with randomly generated raiding parties of Fallen fighters, escorted by capital ship bosses which you have to team up with other Guardians to take down. Or even big orbiting space stations, asteroids and ship wrecks that act as dungeons you can land in and explore.
Of course for people who just want to skip the space stuff and get to the planet action, just include a fast travel button when in space, press it and skip to the planet you want to land on. But they should have that extra layer of fun there for those interested, and of course another opportunity for exploration and loot dropped by enemy capital ships.
This is coming from the guy who came up with Gravity Gauntlet...
Jelly huh?

Then whats the point of customizing the ship then.

Not to be a white knight, but the gravity gauntlet is a pretty cool idea. and it makes sense given the lore with the Didact basically having his own pair already.
nice

gameplay =/= nameplay
Also, protip: MobileGAF for Android supports italics now.

nope, as per tradition with the Spartan Assault lineage, information is a scarce as possible.
I assume they dont even tell the people who are working on the game, that they are working on the game.
Heyo
And you literally just complained about the names of the guns.

To be fair, we don't really see our Spartans in combat but we can customize them as well. You'll be able to see it in cutscenes and stuff; just makes the player feel they have more investment in the game.
haha lol
Tell us all how you really feel.

LTTP, sorry mate. From a fellow Aussie here's the current state of Halo 4 for us. If you find a copy for $15-$35 then yes it's still worth it IMO.
1. Expect between 50-250 per playlist with BTB infinity around 800-1500 during peak night play for Australia.
2. Skill matching isn't terribly great anymore due to low populations. Lots of one sided games.
3. I simply can't recommend the DLC unless you get GOTY edition as it just does not show up when you play. Although 343i are yet to release it here in Australia. The later map packs have some good maps too so it's a shame.
4. If you have friends who play it then make sure to hit them up as you'll have more fun.
5. Reach has similar Aussie playlist numbers for us and Halo 3 is ok.
Overall the current game settings are quiet good, far better than launch and the playlists have a solid range of vote options for how you or your party like to play. If you choose a playlist generally matches are still found fairly quick. Movement and gunplay is great IMO.
I used to play most nights but now with next gen Xbox One I play Halo 4 maybe one night a week, generally I play with 2-5 mates in H4. Feel free to send me a FR and join if you see me on Halo 4, GT: Ozzy Onya A2Z.
Next gen Halo can't come soon enough

How is "Gravity Gauntlet" a bad name? Would you prefer the 626-B Five-Point Asymmetrical Constraint Pauldron?
The answer is Enemy Starfighter

Didn't you want a Pokémon ability that doubles your team's speed for 5 turns or something?

Don't "or something" me motherfucker, if you wanna call me out on having babby ideas you gotta own that shit.
Isulven's base Speed means that the Tailwind effect keeps its speed high, but not broken. In addition, switching to another poke wastes one of those five turns, and on top of that it occupies the in-battle "weather" slot, meaning it can be negated by Cloud Nine, summoning a separate weather entity, etc.
The use of alliteration because you needed to create a Halo related weapon for your 793 levels of fantasy land spam.

Grav Gauntlet is some dumb shit.
FFS just put people you don't like on ignore.
Better yet, download this chrome extension. If someone's on your ignore list it hides all their posts, when they're quoted, and their threads.

lol I love this place.
..for all the wrong reasons.
oooooh thanks!
Holy shit, No Man's Sky looks amazing. It is ambitious beyond belief and the art direction is one of the most beautiful things I've seen in years. It has everything I've ever wanted from an exploration sci-fi game. Speedy, I can understand where you where coming from on the graphics TO A POINT as far as watching the trailer on a stream at low quality. I was skeptical at first too, but then I watched it a thousand more times and this has become one of my most anticipated games of the year. I think you still holding this opinion is stubborn and childish. It is so far from correct that I want to slap the fuck out of you. That being said, I can't wait for it.
Destiny looked amazing as always. Most anticipated by far. I need some more gameplay, something similar to the E3 run through, especially with the release date being push back 6 months or so. I want more in PvP, and I want more lore/backstory information. All together the trailer did it's job. The music is fantastic, the set pieces look stunning and I didn't spot a single frame that didn't possess a lens flare.
Also, slightly off topic, but Telltale games cannot possibly have enough teams to develop for FOUR games. The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, The Wolves Among Us, and Tales From the Borderlands. That's being spread a little too thin in my opinion.
Overall, the VGX's where quite shit. Joel McHale shouldn't have hosted and Spike/Gametrailers need to come at it from a different angle next time.

Instead of a Gavity Hammer can we convert this Gauntlet into the new malay weapon that is like the hammer? That would be cool.
I bet you guys think this a dumb idea ...

You're right, in fact you might say 'order' is being restored here in a sense. It's like Clemenza said in Godfather, these things gotta happen. Clears out all the bad blood lol.
Edit: where do you get all those great pics from Elzar?
Don't know if this was brought up, but Halo 3 Steam app was updated 5 days ago. Disregard if old.
