Bravo and Walshy were both good. Curious to see what happens when H4 comes out and they don't know the game intimately. You saw/see it with Gandhi and Shockwave, both those dude's don't put the competitive hours in any more so they sometimes miss the finer details of what's going on in a match.

.Wait until FBWalshyFTW steals it then he can have them all
If you didn't see enough, new montage of last weekend from my friend Overuled. "The Rise of Halo" (MLG Columbus)
Astro A40s are good, right? Thinking about to buy them at PAX East. (Much cheaper in the states)
I think they will do fine and figure it out quickly. Walshy picks up on games quickly and Bravo has been a Coach for years, so he can learn the game just by watching it.
They are, but the real important thing is the mixamp, buy that then you can use a variety of headphones and get great results.

Man I love opening up the equivalent of a time capsule. So I had the played the old myth games Bungie made but through the years but never had pristine copies of the games to keep in my collection. So I started the task of trying to find some pristine copies and found a copy of Myth: The Fallen Lords on Amazon that said it had the box and manual and all.
Boy was it not kidding. Box is in perfect shape. The manual is in perfect shape, it even includes the inserts that came with the game. Needless to say that was a steal for the 10 bucks I paid. I really wonder if we'll be able to ever do that with the original Halo games in as many years.
Anyway back to your talk of MLG. lol

They are on sale sometimes too.
I would buy a extra mixamp to controller cord, those things have a 2 month life at best.
They barley played 11' rules Reach, last year was justa very very bad game and it showed. These new rules though, they make the game playable and fun once again. I'm sure Bravo will be the best in 13' with it again. Really hope Walshy stays around.

Speaking of time capsules, Pathways into Darkness was playable in a booth on the history of 3D gaming at GDC. Pretty neat.

they're pretty good. the mixamp is Astro's best product though. I'd get that and some Sennheiser PC350's

It'd have been really funny if you just started to furiously fart and salivate just to faint, you'd later wake up surrounded by your own urine and no questions answered.
wtf I'm bored :/
I'm on my second after owning my astros for 3 years. You just have to play gently
I use my gently:/
I have at least 10 in a box that are broken after 3/4 years.
I can vouch for those too, if you like open ear you may want to get the PC360.

No Sprint and no bloom is a damn good game for MLG's settings and playstyle. Now they just need to get stuff like a good Sanctuary and get maps like Powerhouse King instead of Grey World, and their settings will be damn near perfect for what Reach has to offer.
Speaking of which, any word on MLG doing 'playlist gametypes' alongside the circuit gametypes for the upcoming playlist update?

Do this next time you're at a gaming panel. We'll all have a good laugh and then pretend we don't know you.
Halo Wars is taking forever to download.

Oh that had to rock man. I haven't played that game in years. One of these days I'd love to see Bungie someday do some re-releases of all their old games.
Who's gabotron again?
No sprint and no bloom is a damn good Halo game. Randomness does not mean fun, and it has sucked the lifeblood out of the franchise over the years, culminating in the bizarre randomized spawns of Reach matchmaking. No bloom, fixed spawn points, rock solid framerate, easily navigable and properly scaled maps that don't have superfluous "canonical" garbage in them, dedicated servers, robust modern map creator, BR/AR starts. Blammo, there's your Halo. Reach was a half-assed swing at COD and it fell flat on its face, and I don't think it's worth trying again.
If Bungie wasn't lazy as hell they would've implemented the ability to give Forge objects different colors but I guess three years wasn't enough time/not enough resources. It is weird seeing Beaver Creek after something like Nexus KOTH though, my eyes don't know what to make of the colors.

Grimbrother One and bs angel are on a community manager panel at PAX East. (Definitely going to that one.)
I'll be disappointed if the following questions don't get asked during the open mic portion:
"When will HBO get a front page?"
"Why doesn't Halo 4 have online multiplayer?"
"Why would you even put the battle rifle back in the game?"

It would be hilarious if Louis Wu asked the first question. Unfortunately he won't be there this year I guess.
(Which one should I ask?)

I have to say, I'm not that good of a Halo player, but some/most of those headshots people were cheering for were pretty easy/ doable. Or does it just seem like that?

Watching this and god the forge maps are so freaking ugly, I really hope Halo 4 changes that. All the other Halo games are much more pleasing to the eye.
You also have to consider that they're getting them (mostly) on pro players. That's harder than trying to no-scope Elzar or something.

Friday 8:30pm-9:30pm.
How do you all think Reach's sniper magnetism/hitboxes affects MLG?
Edit: like, more exciting for spectators (since I doubt some of the more amazing multikill no-scopes we've seen would be feasible(?) in H3). Just going off this discussion on spectator reaction to bland headshots.

Nice.
Panel description said:
Looks like a fantastic panel. I'll try my best to be there.
What?
No scopes have been less impressive in both Reach and Halo 3 because they are much easier compared to Halo CE and Halo 2. Halo 2's magnetism was insane, so you would see a lot of quick scopes and sweep sniping was very easy and effective. The quickscopes in H2 were pretty insane and entertaining, even if they were made possible mostly by magnetism. I remember Naded's insane 180 quickscope on Sanctuary like it was last weekend. Zoomed in Snipes are probably hardest in Halo CE and Halo 3, but no scoping is a lot harder in Halo CE. Reach sniping is much easier all around, Halo 2's magnetism may make zoomed sniping slightly easier than Reach, but the player movement/strafe and hitboxes makes it about even.
Hopefully the aiming mechanics of Halo 4 are more akin to Halo CE, along with the hitboxes and player movement, so that sniping and no scoping isn't so damn easy.

I can dunk on my friend in my backyard, I can't dunk on Shaq at the Garden
Did not concider that. With that in mind there was still some excessive cheering in in my opinion.
Would you be the guy in the crowd that would stand up and say, "Calm down guys, it wasn't that good of a snipe, I do that in Matchmaking all the time."
*Crowd boos and throws shit at you until you sit the fuck down*
Yea I know all that.
But my bad, I misread what he wrote. I thought he was saying how the MLG settings changed snipes in Reach.
Sorry.

So... Anyone wants to play?
The competitive Halo crowd has been deprived of "good" Halo matches since November 10', this is the first real Halo event everyone enjoyed since the game got good settings and maps. Last year was a joke, the "black Tuesday" of MLG Halo. With that this was the biggest crowd of Halo since Halo 3 by far, nothing about the cheers where staged. I sat in the 2nd row most of the weekend and was surprised by the noise too and joined along.

I went back to Halo 3 a couple weeks ago and I was useless with a sniper. Reach's sniper has really coddled me
:lol'ing because I would be inclined to do this, I'm an asshole that way.
And no worries Tashi, my pre-edit sounded retarded after I read it again.

I certainly don't find it very exciting to watch sniper play. A lot of the shots seem hit and miss, like the game decides when it wants to let magnetism take over and when it doesnt. I have also noticed a lot more stand still sniping on Reach. Hopefully the dumbed down sniping will be removed for Halo 4.
You want nice AR multikills for more variety?
