I need to boost that achievement as well, stupid odd number.
Looks like Halo. I know a few Destiny screenshots have fooled me into thinking it was a new Halo screenshot at quick glance.
I get mad when I get teabagged, but not enough to send messages to people lol I just curse at my screen and am mad for half a second and then move on. Though I'll admit if I see the guy/girl again and I remember that he teabagged me I get him back REAL good.
So I was watching this video... they talked about how they considered putting guns on the front of the Mongoose in Halo CE. Would that work now? Like an extremely weak SMG type gun? Weaker damage than the ghost, but higher rate of fire. Balanced with a cooldown (a la Warthog turrets) and ability to have a person on the back.
I know this mars on looks like it would suit halo a lot:
As for guns on a mongoose it's kinda pointless as the passenger protects the vehicle as it is otherwise you just have a poor ghost copy. The only change should be back to the 3 style one.

Yeah that is a nice screenshot.
And I mean the gun would mainly be used if you don't have a passenger and for support against tanks/stronger vehicles. It is a bit redundant I suppose.
What about a vehicle that releases a shock charge all around it that emps other vehicles for a short time... Would be something in BTB to watch out for as it could put your tank in a bad situation so you're team would need to make sure to destroy it as fast as they can. Would also be funny watching clips of someone flying off a cliff and shocking a Falcon (pls be in Halo 5) or something.
edit: And yes these are shitty ideas from my mind as it is tired and has been without sleep for about 17 hours now.
Chromatic aberration ruins this shot.I know this mars on looks like it would suit halo a lot:

Why Bungie are trying to replicate a cheap lens is beyond me.
We're gonna have to go through this shit for the next 3 years
Haha. Sorry, I'll stop. Watching the "removed" content video from CE just got me thinking is all. We could have had a fucking dinosaur as a "vehicle."
It's definitely the worst effect to come out of recent times. Gives me a headache just looking at it
Damn, ricochet is really, really fun. I know I'm months late, but it's seriously addictive if you have good teams. Easily above Grifball for me now.
As for Banshee, I've always considered it as a fast, pester/support vehicle. Keep its speed and boost, keep the stunts, make its bomb only have emp capabilities on vehicles and strip shields for players etc. Should be considered a flying ghost.

It pretty much was a flying ghost in Halo 2. It was also hilariously OP against people in BR start games.
Halo 3 had the great idea of giving it an angle limiter when it was flying around. This made it so you had to fly it like a plane, but couldn't just hoverdeath above a base and had to line up targets and turn around to re-acquire them.
The biggest mistake Bungie made with Reach was removing the banshee's angle limiter. Tricks should have trained meter, but the BIGGEST thing was removing the angle limiter.
Rawr? That would be awsome, speaking of cut content what about the Sharquoi?
It is a shame that they did it is quite nauseating, but Phobos looks like it has begun tidal deceleration.
Also you meet the oddest people at this time. Most people in the playlist were Spain, Holland etc. One guy was a stoner from California, baked out of his mind talking about some El Salvador war the US helped in, how he can't wait for a Red Dawn type thing to happen here so Americans would know what it's like, went off on some tangent of Columbus Day and how he hates being white, talked about buying beers for tomorrow and driving drunk a few hours ago, but that it was okay because there weren't a lot of cars or people on the streets. I added him as a friend, will invite him to the next customs night LOL.
Is it something they're doing for realism? Or is it a hardware limitation?
They're doing it intentionally.
It can add depth to the scene... but most times it just looks awful.
Yeah, that was in the video I watched too. That thing would have been pretty neat, but it seemed to just be a bigger Hunter honestly. I'd want the Flood Juggernaut, but they have the Pure Form dudes now, which are pretty much the same except smaller. Having both the Hunter/Sharquoi would be redundant... at least that is probably what went through their minds when designing CE. I think the Sharquoi was aimed at being a boss, too, and you know how shitty the "boss" fights have been in Halo so far.
Because something something player choice something.
Didn't they already explain it? Something along the lines of letting people experience the full sandbox or whatever
I remember it being sectioned away from other covenant forces for their strength. It could have been an interesting enemy that's used against vehicles or as a beserker? I could see it chained up and becoming aggravated and going on a rampage after breaking free. The boss fights have never been good so it would just need be a juggernaut or something similar.
I mean it looks like something that would be cool to fight.
Ah I understand. I'm only on mobile so I didn't notice it, but if you pixel peep on say the log you notice it. Is this something though, say that I'll pick up on if I'm running around or shooting?

These are the people Bungie/343 are catering to with their exclusion of a 1-50 visual ranking system.
Props. I've tried looking for a "Master Chief riding a T-Rex" pic everywhere and couldn't find one hahah

Actually, it being similar to a tank or charger from Left 4 Dead would be pretty neat. Turn the corner in a tight corridor and all of sudden you hear it's noise and it runs and slams you against a wall.
When carnotaur posted it I bookmarked it, I knew it would come in handy eventually.
That would be amazing, It could probably put Spartans through the walls if it was that strong as they described it being.
The angle limiter did work great in Halo 3. The fuel rod cannon's presence and the durability did make the Banshee overpowered as you said.
I think an ideal Banshee would maneuver and function like the Halo 3 incarnation but have the fuel rod cannon removed and be a little more susceptible to human weapons fire. But it shouldn't be eviscerated by weapons fire like the Halo 4 Banshee is. (And I don't play Halo 4 that often so someone please correct me if I'm wrong.)

I really would not mind having dynamic destruction in Halo 2 Anniversary or Halo 5. Maybe just in campaign, or only in MP if you tick the setting. Being flung through walls would be amazing.
Every vehicle in Halo 4 is shit on by human weapons. It's horrid. Not sure why they would make them so effective and then throw Plasma Pistol and Stickies on top of it.

I'm kind of late to this, but I'll respond anyways.
Similar to Halo 2. If you win a match your bar will fill up by a certain amount of points, lose a match it will drain by a certain amount of points. The higher/lower the rank you beat the more/less points go towards your bar.
It's really good, and a lot of fun.
Yea, it seems to have been messed up a little with recent patches. I've stopped playing temporarily because the newest patch has made it so I can't save my game (online rank, KP, unlocks, etc etc). So now my Xbone has pretty much no use.

Damn. It's not just "Hardcore internet fans" being vocal about the game now.

What the hell is Sumo Digital ?
Oh they are the guys behind Sonic All-Stars racing? That game was awesome, difficult but awesome.
One thing that I even will complain about when we get Halo 2 Anniversary is the aim assist on its BR.
Also can someone put a black border on my avatar, my photoshop is trolling me. ( or any kind of improvement so it doesn't look that out of place in normal GAF/dark GAF)

There are more tweets. He slams the UI pretty hard which is very deserving.
I stuck a border on:
As for destructible campaign like red faction has it's cool but I don't know how to implement it in halo.

You are awesome, thanks
Does anyone in here know the song that plays from 0:13 to 0:40 in this trailer

Thanks! I have been searching for it quite a while!
Guy comes off as an asshole though. He has the time to complain about the problems, but then wants to be "hired/paid" to discuss what they are, why they are problems, how to fix them.
343 can probably benefit from a several dozens of our posts here, just as much as that guy could. Not to discredit his "industry experience", but many of us have literally spent the better parts of the past 13 years playing some form of Halo, and while we may not necessarily agree on what needs fixing, why, we know when something works and when something doesn't.
