Sorry HaloGAF I can't continue this friendship.

Not even personal, it's just depressing how many dudes think this way and project it onto others, even so far as to call the men out who have female friends as full of shit.

Things like this are why I barely stray out of HaloGAF, to be honest. I don't want to get involved in any drive-by trolling, etc.
edit: Well, what you described isn't really trolling, but you get my point. The other Halo 4 thread would be a better example.

It just mars my interactions with the opposite sex too when they think along these lines. It's all related. The lack of respect, the idea that were not really people worth knowing. And people wonder why women avoid gamers and nerds.

Yeah, same here. Anything outside of HaloGAF on this site is highly suspect. There's a lot of immaturity and ignorance out there.

Weirdly I'm going to sort of defend nerds (in a backhanded way) and say that it's not an issue with gamers and nerds, but rather with our culture in general. I'm lucky that my IRL social circle is more or less rational when it comes to this kind of stuff, but I see the "women aren't like normal people" attitude among coworkers, neighbors, etc.

I'm sure you know, but you have to remember that this is an internet forum. People are going to say a lot more controversial and inflammatory things just because it's completely anonymous. Also, out of all the message boards I've seen, GAF is the best by far, in terms of "nice people-jerk" ratio.

Oh, and if you guys are still playing, I gotta go run some errands, but I can probably hop on after that. My tag is Monsterfracas
 
I'd be ok with that. Either way is fine with me, really.
You know what though, I thought of one problem. An animation would be needed to show the gun coming up to the screen, otherwise it would look weird, and that would take more time to zoom in. Unless something was done that would give the instant transition into a zoom, while allowing an animation to occur that doesn't seem weird as the gun pulls in. Basically, it could be done, and I would like it, but it would not be something as simple as emulating what other games have done. Still, since the footage we saw of the BR in action didn't show it zoomed in I think there may be something different going on.

So sexy. And the guessing begins.

Mmmmm, sexy. Please let the Bulletin have something new for us to gaze at, and maybe then some.

Dear 343: please don't change the reticle location. It's more important to see stuff and things up ahead of me than it is to see the ground at my feet.

Thanks.

Thats why everyone automatically lowers the reticle when the game launches and they aren't in a firefight, right?

Halo is game with verticality, meaning things happen above and below you that you need to be aware of. I shouldn't have to look down at the ground just to have a full view of whats going on around me. Almost every other shooter has the reticle in the center of the screen because it provides the most logical, comprehensive veiw of whats going on. No idea why Halo decided to go the current route.

The reticle is head level, why would you lower it? Unless it's AR starts, then you should lower it to shoot at the torso.

Looks like unused art for a captured Seraph that would have been at the facility in LNoS.

Except this is from 343 and that is obviously Forerunner in nature and shares a similar shape to a mummy casket.

Now if it said Bungie at the bottom right and the thing was colored purple then sure.
