b.next's forums are basically useless. What happened to a sensible thread layout?

I actually think the forum layout is relatively inoffensive. Its not a bad idea grouping all replies in subthreads. It sort of helps streamline discussion and keeps away irrelevant posts from the eyes of someone who is fixated solely on their replies.

The homepage on the other hand...

Just regained by breath from all the girly screaming and dancing from finally having my GAF account activated.

Hey guys. I'm Johnny. As excited as I am, I couldn't have had my account activated at a more stressfully eventful period in my life. Glad to join the discussion whenever I can though.

Edit: Whoops.

Hi.

If no one wants the x1 titanfall code i guess ill put it on twitter? Last chance

E: Oh, looks like Johny might want it.

Nah. Give it to someone who has earned their place around here. I probably want to play it on PC, anyway.
Get out of here with that "earned their place".

It doesn't matter that you're a junior, or how long you've been posting here, you're cool with us all the same. Just be very thoughtful when posting. Welcome, you're part of the dream now :p

If I get a code for PC, and my laptop can run it well, we should play! (That applies to everyone else as well)

Thanks, man.
Still, I'll get my code eventually. Like I said, before, I'm pretty busy these days anyway. There's someone who needs it more than me.

It might depend on your usage, but the Blueprint Bungie.net group was one of the main sources of maps for the Community Cartographers. It had a good signal:noise ratio, the ability to easily stick topics meant people could quickly pull up the guidelines, and it was easy to track a map being updated over time.

Then Bungie.net updated and Blueprint died within a week due to people not being able to sort out where the content was, updates, etc.

Alright, yeah. That sounds pretty bad. Didn't have so much experience with that.
Regardless of whatever minor benefits I feel the new forum layout might have (for me), the pre-destiny layout was undoubtedly superior.

Welcome Johnny. :)
RIP Mythic Member Status.
We still have the group! :(

I've grown used to the new layout on Bungie. The moderating on the other hand... So inconsistent. You can advocate modern day holocausts and make threads about 'booty' - essentially objectifying women on a daily basis, but pornhub comments on valentines day cards? Suddenly I get warned for 'offensive content'

Community is rather good at the moment though, IMO. Met some cool people over the last year or so that didn't really happen on Bungie.old

Yeah The WorkPLace is the only reason I ever visit b.net anymore. That group is unbelievable with regards to its members. Some of the most genuinely good people I've ever come across on the Internet since... ever. Still going strong over there but the upgrade really hurt private groups all around.

With waypoint being almost unusable, CC got hit pretty hard. Everything is done off-site as far as I know. The forge issues didn't help much either. Those days of Reach test sessions and contest judging were some of the best I've had since I started playing. Some talented guys there too... Been quiet lately though :/
 
Hey HaloGAF, long time no post.

If anyone wants a Titanfall X1 beta key, pm me.

P.S Halo 4 sucks, fingers crossed they get it right next time.
 
I have been listening to the Halo 4 OST lately. Damn. It is good. So good. Especially the combination of Vol 1 and 2. I like it a lot. Oh gosh at Green And Blue, Never Forget and 117 combo. So good.

That being said, I'm still pissed that 343i hasn't released the one track, they had used for the movie making of trailer.

Yeap. As disappointed as I was with many aspects of the campaign and Spops (especially with how quiet the soundtrack was in the former) Davidge did well.
 
The hell you been hidin man?

Just enjoying life, not playing Halo basically.

Got a little boy on the way, due on my 30th birthday, which is awesome. Buying a new house, selling the old house, its all been pretty damn stressful. I've been lurking, just not posting.

How are things here?

Halo 4's music is pretty good track for track, but it's not cohesive, and it doesn't sound very "Halo."

It's also burned out really fast for me. The strong melodies in Halo 4 sounded really strong at first, but now they sound weaker and with not-really-all-that-amazing overall flow. Whereas none of Marty's work has aged a day. And that's despite me playing Bungie's games a hell of a lot more than Halo 4.

Nice man, congrats. My 30th is this year too. Been busy myself... Wedding planning, bought a house... Haven't been playing halo (or really anything) lately either. Waiting for this H2A!!

If you've been lurking you already know how it is round here! Everyday samething...

How long have you been a member of NeoGAF? How long have you lurked?
I've been a member for literally an hour now or so. I've lurked for over 3 year though.

How old are you? What country or state are you posting from? (Optional)
I'm a tiny, 18 year old. You can put me and speedy in the same tier, if you'd like.
I'm also from the Caribbean. I'd specify islands, but that'd roughly be like naming the block I live on.

How long have you been a Halo fan? Have you played all the games?
I played Halo CE in 2004. I didn't actually appreciate the series until 2008 however. The second I got into the universe, I bought the books and purchased and played all the games.

What mode do you spend most of your time in?
I spent most of my time in multiplayer, of course. I have a good bit of time put into the campaigns as well.

What is your favorite playlist?
Depends on the game. MLG is the only thing playable in reach as far as I see right now. Standard Team Slayer was always a go-to in prior games though. Let's not mention 4.

Help us get to know you better. (Optional)

Living in the Caribbean is kind of so-so. Very few people here are inclined to gaming in the same way I am. I don't mesh super well with the culture, having been "Americanized" through association, choice of school, media and the ever-present socialization-power of the internet.

Somewhat confused about what studies I should pursue and where I should go to do them. I've been struggling to decide whether or not I should focus on pharmacology, law or computer sciences. I have an interest in all 3 and finite time, of course.


Do I pass?

PM'd. I was gifted one and forgot i signed up on 2 emails myself. I had these two in the wings for days now x.x I have one spare left if anyone here or their friend needs it =) Long live Halo(with a high skill ceiling).
You're too kind... Sadly I don't have an XBO, so you're welcome to give it to someone else!
