Yeah, for me its a scenario where I do find the things fun, and think they controlled really well, but because of what they do to the greater sandbox they should be removed.

Halo 2 is for pros.

Sticking with the Halo nameplate 'cause I'm a fanboy.

Despite the extra effort that would be involved, it was a poor move (or lack thereof) to not pair gametypes with maps. You don't throw every weapon on a map (although Battle Creek really tried their damnedest to do so), why oh why would you do the same for loadouts/Armor Abilities? Or better yet, just start with two of the least offensive AA's in Sprint and the wonderful Hologram across the board for everyone, and put any others that suit a specific map as pickups.
MLG = +1
Reach playlist manager = -5

Frankie, more vistas like this please in Halo 4 SP, thanks.
And lighting too.

The false pretense of grey forerunner buildings peeling away to reveal rusted human buildings as main locations for Halo 4.

Having gone back and forth between Halo 3 and Reach for the last couple days, it really does hit you how much of an improvement Reach is from a technical standpoint. It plays better, feels more responsive, etc. It looks great.
Where it starts to unravel a bit is the overly ambitious changes to the core gameplay. When I see people flying around with jetpacks.. all I can think is "What the fuck is that?" And then (pace my DMR shots) shoot them down like clay pigeons.
When painting my skyboxes, I need only to look to Halo 3.

Well, it does.
I agree with the rest... I just am not sure how Reach plays better and is more responsive?
There is less inertia in 3, base movement is faster, and the input for aiming feels much more responsive to me.
Maps + the way AA's were implemented automatically preclude Reach from playing better; for my money anyway.

Halo brunch?
Will we be able to upload screenshots? I guess answer is no
Not until 343 gets their file share system up and running in summer. And if they're going with the literal summer instead of fiscal summer or something like that, that's going to be in like.. July. Unless it's coming up the last week of June.

Are you sure the system isn't embedded in the .map file?

They really are, MGS has some of the most striking and unique art iv seen from a game and the books are full of it. Its amazing looking at all the cut content, especially MGS2.
Sadly they are written in Japanese and the quality of the art has a great variety of quality with some looking as if they got scanned from a napkin and others looking as if they were painted on by Yoji himself.
The HD collection art book is the highest quality one by far.
Speaking of quality the GF collects Pixar artbooks and they quality of those is outstanding

Weapon feedback in Reach is great. You can really tell the difference by the plasma pistol. Load up Halo 3, fire the PP, and then load up Reach and do the same.

There was only one copy and it was cast back into the fiery pit from whence it came.
Imagine season one of RvB, only with sloppier camera work, no humor at all, and featuring bored players that inexplicably start to shoot each other. It was filmed in one night (being due the next day) and all of the voice work (even female characters) was recorded by one guy because he was the only person still awake.
Relevant.

So 5pm today is the last day to send the clips in, right Duncan?

For guaranteed entry in the montage, yes.
Anyone that wants to submit a clip after that can still do so (especially if they didn't submit any before) and will be included as long as I still have a spot in the montage.
Just be sure to include your gamertag and the name of the clip so I can find it with the in-game file browser.
The HaloGAF Montage I've been talking about for four weeks.
Fun fact: I saw it when it first came out on TV. I was almost 13. I watched the whole thing. I can't remember thinking it was really awful, even.
I think I was just too stupid to notice.
Edit: ROFL - apparently you're supposed to drink an $8 bottle of sparkling wine when you hit Inheritor.
I wouldn't celebrate PUBERTY with that swill.

Inheritor juice
People who have enough time to hit Inheritor shouldn't even be old enough to drink!

When/if I hit Inheritor I'm snapping my Reach disc in half and throwing my xbox out the window. Either that or I'm going to eat an entire case of twinkies while drinking a tub load of Jolt cola.

I wanted to reach Inheritor before Halo 4 but it seems very unlikely now.

Do we know what the next gaminformer cover story is yet? If Edge does have some Halo stuff coming up I imagine a few of the other big ones will.

And if they are they're obviously unemployed, ergo the cheaper than tramp fuel reward.

That was my original goal as well, not gonna happen though.

Noticed this yesterday when I was playing The Storm. Compared to Reach, the weapon feedback in H3 is shitty.
I remember being extremely confused as to why the guys from The Honeymooners and The Carol Burnett Show were in my Star Wars. Looking back on it, I bet they were as equally confused.Fun fact: I saw it when it first came out on TV. I was almost 13. I watched the whole thing.
