Halo 4 assasination move? Frankie, are you there?

You may not be that far off. I noticed that both the MP Spartans and MC do not have knives in Halo 4, so I imagine the kills will be much more "hands on". I also bet that means more weapon-based context sensitive assassinations.

Don't tell me you want assassination back in Halo 4?

 

[Stinkles]

I am fat, fit, and the best driver and BR marksman on gaf.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Don't tell me you want assassination back in Halo 4?

Wasn't it already confirmed to be in?

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Already confirmed to be back in some fashion.

Also, yes, I do. Allow people to toggle them off for themselves if they don't want to accidentally perform them.

You attract stickies sir...

Your thoughts on liquefying fat people for fuel?

 

[thezerofire]

can someone tell me why they're using Benq 5ms monitors for MLG? What happened to the nice Asus 2ms ones they had?

Maybe they were sent to be used in their fighting game stuff.

Hey 343, put Squad Slayer the fuck back in.

Thanks.

WTF. Why. Why. I do not understand. Why.

Being rested and hydrated is kind of different from being healthy or unhealthy though. I would argue that after work no one plays at they're best. That's probably what Walshy was talking about.

I'm not talking about being a bit on the chubby side, I'm talking about being morbidly obese. When you reach that stage, I imagine it doesn't help your Halo ability.

 

[BackdoorBeauty]

triple kill is the new double kill

 

[Karl2177]

WTF. Why. Why. I do not understand. Why.

You touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.

 

[CyReN]

We are out, will be at the venue in a hour to start a all night campaign to support Halo in the front row.

 

[BackdoorBeauty]

Hey 343, put Squad Slayer the fuck back in.

Thanks.

I say, bring back the deployable bubble-shield. That made CTF on standoff fucking fun. Also, bubbleshield dance party. The original warthog airbag.

Relax, you say that as if we have some reason to believe they'll be just like they are in Reach.

I totally get you. I was just really pointing out tiredness and dehydration because I hate when I suck at Halo after work lol.

It has to be said, that obesity is good for nothing. Its also generally not something people can easily control. Im not going to take the piss out of someone obese, but yeah, if they are obese because they just sit on Halo all day then they could sort it out.

EDIT: Why in the world would assassinations come back? They were just fluff lol.

Off to a great start!

Yeah I know. Still I fear bad things. But I'm trusting 343i in that case like I do with the perks.

You have won 'Debbie Downer of 2012' award.

 

[Gabotron ES]

Don't tell me you want assassination back in Halo 4?

They were confirmed not so far ago, yesss.

Like Demon said it looks like if they'll be more "street fighter" style. Maybr you can't unlock a knife for your spartan so you can use it to assasinate others.

Weapon context assasinations would be cool too, HAMMERS!

Just make them toggable so people who are too serious to make them don't have to suffer :lol

 

[Tashi]

Assassinations are fun to do. Bobs I'm convinced there's nothing Halo Reach you like even a little bit. Hahaha

 

[BackdoorBeauty]

Watching SC2 is like watching someone browse the internet.

 

[Barrow Roll]

Casey is still my hero. What a beast.

 

[Karl2177]

Watching SC2 is like watching someone browse the internet.

If you play it, you'll appreciate it a bit more.

 

[Plywood]

Right at the start of a game a guy on our team quits right out.

So now it's 3v4 shortly into it we lose another guy, but then one on the enemy leaves as well. Now it's 2v3 and these douchebags are using armor lock and t-bagging and shit. But, in spite of that we came back.

Then this game next game the enemy team has a guest that's not moving and yet kids get carried.

Super Slayer = worst MM experience of all time, ALL TIME

Spoiler

Bring back Squad

I like it when I get to hear "Game Over". Thats always awesome.

Seriously though, there are certainly things I enjoy, its just that there's so much crap which ruins it. I think MLG cuts away a lot of the crap so to speak, but I dont play it lol.

I don't mind assassinations that much, im just surprised they bothered even bringing them back, again, they are just fluff. They seem to appeal to the dudebro's who just enjoy pre-scripted head stomp style kills. They can disrupt the flow a little. I just think it was more satisfying to backsmack and watch the ragdoll spin while shooting the next guy. I just hope Assassinations aren't indicative of other design decisions.

The awesome thing about assassinations are the Yoink! and Showstopper! medals, love those two.

SQ vs Apex Devastation next. European team. Should be decent series. SQ is nasty though.

 

[Overdoziz]

Well the Twitch MLG stream got shut down (it wasnt official) and their own player is shit. Guess I'll do something else then.

 

[kylej]

Is big daddy Flame playing on 5 sens? Looks fast.

e Walshy commentary <3

 

[Hypertrooper]

Beaver Creek is such a good map. I can not wait to see the MLG playlist updated with the Anniversary Maps.

I'd like to know if the Anniversary Maps implantation announcement had affect on the sales.

Tashi's Weekly Montage Series - Episode 4 - The Mid-Season Finale

This will be the last episode for about 3 weeks or so. I really wish I could have sent out the first half of the season with a really great one but my I had an internet outage for almost an entire week. This is really a 4 day montage. The outage is also why it is late. Thanks for watching and see you in a few weeks!

I'm getting Internal Server Errors when I try to access any featured content (or any of the dropdown options like "games" "universe" etc..)

Is anyone else getting this?

Yes I'm able to access the main page and forums... just not the content stuff.

On Waypoint? If it was readily accessible on my phone, I could double check for you.

Same here.

I'd like to know if the Anniversary Maps implantation announcement had affect on the sales.

I'm sure it must have, even if just from the hardcore MLG guys that weren't ever going to play them when they weren't in the playlist.

Also, I got a new controller today after using my launch 360 pads since 2005.

There is no stick drift on this controller.

I cannot emphasize how excited I am about this.

 

[Homeboyd]

The Halo News now says "it isn't available right now, check back later" so I guess they're working on it.

 

[Tunavi]

tashi that was fucking hot

 

[Hypertrooper]

Reality Check? Is that the team with the twins where one of them got livebanned?

 

[Tashi]

Thanks sexy

And yea Hyper. The Suddoth Twins.
