Yup. It makes Tashi's Anniversary trailer one of my favourites.
I can confirm the latter, handsome dude.
the circumstances of that meeting are pretty funny, hope those stitches fix you right up.

I sort of hated on it a lot as well, but my opinion has changed a bit after getting Vol 2. I think its implementation and mixing in the game was unfortunately rather poor and that impacted my opinions of the actual music. In a lot of ways I prefer the ambient, techno incidental music to a lot of Marty's work, but I think its major themes were a bit weaker.
Honestly though it's sort of splitting hairs. Halo has overall some of the straight-up best music of any video game series, and I'm including Rippy's work on Halo Wars and Salta's Spartan Assault stuff in that umbrella.
Bringing back the monks a bit more and keeping some of the traditional sounds for when it counts would go a long way to helping keep some music continuity. And just please no more Star Wars ripoffs (looking at you, "Composer" opening cutscene...)

Good GTAO games, Daedalos. That ending was amazing. We:
- Crashed a helicopter into a player's super car and blew it up
- Crashed a cargobob into at least two other players, cars and a firetruck
- Immediately double-teamed him on spawn with only fisticuffs
- While he was after Daedalos, I finished him off with a sucker punch.

I used to think I hated the music, but now I think I just hate the menu music.
BWWWAAAA BBWAAAAA BBWWAAAAA
Of course, I grew to hate the menu music in every other live Halo game since I generally only hear it when I'm stuck waiting to get into a game for whatever reason.
I don't know who that avatar stealing jerk is
Dongs Macabre
aka Daedalos42
Yeah, that was great. It would have been better if I could call Pegasus for both the Cargobob and the Buzzard at the same time, so we could take down that one guy in the Buzzard.

Problem is, the soundtrack is good and sounds good when you hear it. How it's implemented in the game is another factor.
I played the H4 campaign as much as Reach, and I couldn't for the life of me tell you what parts of the H4 soundtrack are played at parts, when etc.
Aside from the Death Star Tench run, and the music during the credits. That's probably all I could pick out.
Listen to that music above from Reach, it's not even the best piece but it was used to well at parts of the game, I could tell you exactly where, or what was going on.

Honestly, I loved every Halo OST. So many good tracks.
You probably can't comment on this, but any idea as to when we'll be able to snap Skype video?? I was really looking forward to that ;\
Halo 4 menu music is dire I mute the game when it's on an under sold menu track is denfinatly reach or ODST.
I think the only good parts are kazuma work in the halo 4 ost their consistently good as well.

I actually backed out to buy GTAllards so I own a Cargobob now. And a Vacca! It's a good thing GTAO is so damn fun to me, because it's the first game I've played where I've been legitimately so bad / unfocused that I've had to do microtransactions to keep the fun going.
That start menu to freeze glitch was bizarre, too. This guy named Apollo had been killing me for ages, but when I was rendered immobile I was actually immune to contact damage! He still headshot me, but he rammed me like thrice with his chrome piece of shit and completely braked like you would hitting a tree.
Maybe it's like the statue / Boot Suit from Mario and I can control it with enough practice.
I went and got the O'Connor stair car from the airport to live out a self branded Arrested Development crime fantasy.
Is it the restored version? The image quality much better than the HDNet broadcast. A guy named Xylon who does a lot of reviews and comparison 'pix' on avsforum, started his own blog. He had the comparison of the different versions up, but it seems to be down right now.
I've never seen any Ultraviolet release even approach the bit rate or quality of a BD release though.
Also, rest in peace Peter O'Toole.

Headhunter with static skulls is lots of fun.

Anyone who likes the soundtracks for the original Trilogy should check out the Legends soundtrack. It's freaking great. I would have that style for Halo 5 rather than the Metroidness of Halo 4 (as good as the music was, it didn't feel all that Halo to me).
I mean. Got damn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh9lBrXjrAM&list=PL48A6288F943EF294
When the strings play in there, it's sooo good. I picture myself in an underwater capsule gondola thing every time.
And this remixed Truth and Reconciliation suite is pure Halo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_9vPJi-cGk Dem woodwinds.
God tier track.

I haven't nailed down my "signature" car yet, but pretty much all of mine are midnight / spinnaker purple with white accents.
Realistically speaking (but ignoring gameplay implementation, for example being unable to see black armor in shadows) would it be a stretch to see some more specific finishes next-gen?

As much as I would like to hear the main theme in Halo 5, I don't believe it's really necessary if the music they do create fits the series and the game, and is well implemented. Remember that Ocarina of Time didn't feature the main Zelda theme and that's a complete non issue; that soundtrack has some of the most memorable tracks in all of gaming.
Couldn't you do kill confirmed?
Headhunter is one of my favorite game types it would be interesting to play with static skulls.
GTA online is alright but i'm hemorrhaging money as soon as I get it, the lack of money in general is an issue.

Would be cool in Halo 5 to use the Global Positioning feature in the Waypoint App and Snap it to your Halo 5 Matchmaking.

I'll give Halo 4's soundtrack as most textured and detailed. Davidge is on a whole other level than Marty when it comes to that, but it still just doesn't remind me of Halo when I hear the music. That's probably because the soundtrack sounds so much better outside of the game for whatever reason.
Gabotron ES

That's what I'm doing.
Enabling the kill confirmed option will put a navpoint over each skull on the map.
I added a "Ball Physics" option which lets you choose between static and non static. While on static most of the time they'll stay floating in midair which is a pretty cool effect.

Well on cragslist I saw this for $25 or OBO and I debating on buying this..

I think Fuschd used some of them for the last customs.
I also updated VIP today to support One Sided VIP

Will probably get a one month and play some of them then.
Oh also off-topic, but if anyone cares MurderMiners got its last update on 360 which includes vehicles. PC version is 100% happening on Steam now too.

It's cool and a bargain price, but the first thing I though of was one of those creepy pillows with anime girls on them sorry I don't why.
because the music is way too quiet ingame and you cant even change the volume in the options
That's just because you have those creepy pillows on your mind all the time.

I feel like Reach had the best Elites to fight. I love that shield pop animation on the darker levels.

There really is a sucker born every minute!
If 343 still doesn't give us sound options (helps with YouTube videos/Streaming and general tweaking for better settings for your equipment/environment) I'll stare at them disapprovingly.

My Halo haul so far this Xmas:
Well, sorta. I bought the Mantis for my cousin's son but I couldn't resist taking it for myself. He will be getting the Wraith instead (I wisely bought two of them this time). Seriously, the Mantis is super badass. This is Stinkle's fault.
This camera's super crappy but I did get some interesting results using Photoshop. A shame it's too late to send out cards:
Deaux it

I really enjoy listening to both parts of the H4 OST when I am working and such, but I too couldn't really pick out many moments in the campaign that the music fit with.
Whereas with the Reach soundtrack, I can confidently say I know what was happening in game during the music points.
Got character design work piled on this weekend since one of my client's other artists flaked out, oh well more $$$ for me Maybe I'll pop on the H4 OST to work to.

I will never understand the lack of options in Halo games after years of fans begging for them.
Nicee, sounds good. Definitely going to check that out and I hope we see a MM2 for the Xbox One.
CE/Reach Elites were by far the best. In Halo 4 they would just charge at you with the Sword and literally stand still.

Last update? And did they find a PC dev or are they switching over to PC themselves?
edit: The two vehicles are pretty neat.
What's up with them standing still is it a targeting error or something? It's like they forget you are there.
No I don't other stuff instead (some of it's in my post history), how does anyone get gratification from a pillow?

GT's Top 5 Winter Wonderlands. Good list IMO, especially #4 ;]
Because the pillow doesn't ask you for money and complain every second of the day. It just lays there and loves you whenever you need it.
