Lol, and yet strangely impressive in regards to the scale.
Halo wars in 40 mins?
And no, you can't snowboard on it.
I would love to man, but my disk drive seems to have given up the ghost. I managed to install SSX, Halo Reach and im trying to install Halo 3 lol.

Five years was briefly mentioned in an interview....
Sounds like college.
I don't think that the Arena system is able to handle guests, and I doubt they're ready or willing to throw splitscreen under the bus. Too bad.

Holy shit he's going to wake up to one hell of a morning wood.
So sorry, but I had to.

I say get rid of all of the DLC playlists. It obviously won't be possible in Reach just because the engine isn't meant for it, but I think it'd be cool if some Ranked playlists required DLC (some of the major ones, like Rumble Pit/BTB/Slayer/Objective/Invasion, which would cover most niches), and the remainder (including Social) just recommended DLC with double or triple weightings if there was a full-DLC party. Then in the party preferences, replace the whole chatty/competitive/team player/lone wolf thing with a checklist like this:
Match me with:
Maps
_Default _Noble _Defiant _Anniversary
the underscores are checkboxes. It'd be possible to play just anniversary, noble/default, etc.
Players
_Default _Parties _Guests _Second Accounts
Second accounts would just be some sort of optional thing in your Armory with a yes or no option. But this way, you could potentially play with nothing but second accounters in parties, no guests, ONLY solo players (eliminating the need for something like a Mercenaries playlist), etc. All of them would be selected by default, and DLC would be checked as you purchased it.
EDIT: It should be noted the map checklist would only apply to Ranked/DLC-required playlists. Players checklist would affect everything, though.

There's a "frozen stiff" joke in there somewhere.

Age is not an excuse. Reaction time doesn't slow significantly until you are in your 50's if not later. 1.10 k/d is good but you can do better. Watch Tashi's weekly montage to learn what not to do. Also: Welcome to HaloGAF, the only place on GAF where rational(sort of) Halo talk occurs (sometimes).
In fairness, just because GAFfers give opinions on games they haven't even played doesn't mean they AREN'T the most knowledgeable gaming forum there is. Remember, that bar is pretty damn low.
He did say "Wake me when you need me" to Cortana. Not want, NEED.

This made me ponder whether his repressed sexual desires wasn't permanent and required "regular" treatments. Heh, well done.
I believe this explains the codpiece expansion from the announce trailer.

My first thought for treatments wasn't... convential medicine. :lol
still waiting for the inevitable Halo porn parody involving Dr. Falsie receiving Carter and Noble Sex's packages with cameos from Cortana and Chief

And Halo is every game that was already on pc too. When I played Halo for the first time I honestly was confused to whether or not I was playing Quake 3 Arena.

I was basically pro at Doom.
At one point the industry use to make point-and-click games and people actually bought them!
The days of Gabriel Knight, Space Quest, Lesuire Suits Larry, Phantasmagoria seem so far ago. The name "Roberta Williams" use to mean something. Damn consoles, damn them all to hell.

Chief should be grateful he's sleeping through bloom and armor lock.
*Chief wakes up*
Chief: Anything new happen while I was gone?
Cortana: Yes, actually. I've received several confirmed reports of all UNSC ordinance having taken a noticable decline in efficiency and accuracy due to degradation in firing mechanism proficiency. In addition, armor modifications that weren't suited for present era combat were forced upon UNSC soldiers which resulted in catastrophic results. All of these initiatives were enacted by the UNSC Commander in Chief at the time, former UNSC Commander in Chief Sage Merrill. Control of the UNSC fleet has been shifted elsewhere, however.
Chief: Is it finished?
Cortana: All inconsistencies up to date will be erradicated once we land.
Chief: Good.

Without looking, I'm guessing it was the "Does Bungie Deserve More Credit?" thread.
And here I said nothing good would come of it.

I'll have to pop in Halo 3 and rmmage for that laughable 360 noscope game winning kill. I'll submit it to Duncan if I find it.
Also, Duncan and I are fighting valiantly over the coveted 11th place in the HaloGaf group!

PERKS?!
I like how people think Bungie was the first developer to have a console FPS. Did Goldeneye and Perfect Dark just never happen in these people's reality?

Probably fake.
I could do that too. I use the same monitor for Xbox as I do pc.
Warning: This is a post about Firefight, and the need for an important change to Doubles. You probably know right now whether to avert your eyes.
A bit ago I had a great game of Firefight Doubles on Corvette. It was great because my teammate quite the moment it started, and I could continue with the game unmolested. But that poses a challenge as well, because the time limit was lifted from the Firefight Arcade playlist when Doubles was created: 20 minutes. That's not enough time for a full set for one player. I got close - to the final boss wave. Close didn't cut it.
Thing is, on most maps there is not enough time for a full set for two players. On any map other than Corvette, Courtyard and Holdout, the odds of two players finishing the set and getting to the bonus round are slim. I've done it a couple times with a good partner on Beachhead, and that's it. That means no one - myself included - wants to play on any other map. Because finishing a game of Firefight is fun.
I've been pointing out - literally - since the day Firefight Doubles went live that the 20 minute time limit carried over from Arcade needs to be lifted to 30 minutes in doubles, because it takes two players longer to kill guys than it does four players.
I just had a second game on Corvette and even me and my bozo partner still didn't get to the end. In both games I was playing so fast my hands were cramped up by the the end. I never died in either game.
Please fix this, 343. I know and have accepted that you're not going to ever fix Fiesta in Score Attack (it's broken there, but correct in Arcade). Or update the game types (Arcadefight has 4/5 waves the same for every round). Or any of the other many great things you could do with the playlists but are not because you do not make updates to Firefight other than playlist deletions. But I'm asking for an exception. It's been about nine months. One itty-bitty, teeny-tiny update? Please? It would matter a great deal.

Man, I don't know where the hell Avalanche was for me in Matchmaking. I think I only got it once or twice. I've only played it a handful of times, and mostly in customs.

Well, with The Thursday War announced, I guess we for sure known Halo 4 isn't coming out in September, then. Later on in October, maybe? Or... Probably November.
