Halo |OT3| Remember Reach?

Nah, I'm a total BK, I like goofy Halo and ARs. His pissed off attitude and knowledgeability of all the game's systems made me think he came from HBO.
Yeah... maybe.(I'm no longer sure.)
was your recollection based on the profile in the UI? if so, i could definitely see how you might mistake it for that. EDIT: doh, skipped your previous posts i guess
also, the fact that this weapon actually has been revealed whereas the laser (if its returning) hasnt, leads me believe that its actually more likely you saw a glimpse of the rail gun.
please let this (or something else!) be the laser replacement with appropriate tweaks/balancing

Plus the laser really would't make sense on either of the two showcased maps (insert Construct joke here).
About half the objects you need to recreate it properly are missing I think. Also, you get framerate issues a lot faster on Ridgeline.

Hmm.
Ultimately Halo 1's campaign is better than better than Halo 2's. The combat is more fun.

Anniversary.

Play Anniversary, new graphics look very pretty and the gameplay is godly (even with the slight input lag in new graphics mode).

Do the Hungry Man Special this August.
I swear I think Acheron was named in the Halo book (Evolutions?).

Come watch some who's good at multiplayer but sucks at campaign. I'll probably need some help too lol

With nothing coming out and Halo 4 another month+ after it's done it should be good. Did it for Reach and enjoyed it even though it was kinda weird play after what happened first..

Agreed, always seemed really stupid to me to cram so much similar gameplay in a short amount of time or even to go from game to sequel to sequel without a refresher in between each game. The multi-game collections e.g. Metroid Prime Trilogy seem like a perfect example of "Too much of the same thing at once".
Why would 343i want to reveal all the weapons 6 months before launch? I keep on worrying they're going to show too much, too soon. But then I worry about silly things.

So I found some cheap games and would like an opinion. I know they're old but I just want something different to play. I'm getting tired of what I have.
2 of these:
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Portal 2
Splinter Cell: Conviction
Crysis 2
OR
Skyrim
?
Please note I'd rather play something with some replayability

Easily Portal 2 and Deus Ex.

Skyrim has far and away the most re-playability. Seriously. You'll never run out of places to see or shit to kill. For better or worse.
However, Portal 2 & Deus Ex: HR are fantastic and would get my votes.

Portal 2 and Deus Ex are fantastic games but Skyrim has way more replayability. If you like previous elder scrolls games, I'd say go for Skyrim.

Yep
@Corrinne
She use to talk alot about graphics and programming, but she has been NDA'd not to talk about Halo 4 tech for now. She hopes to give us details in the future

Dues Ex HR is so good. I bought it for PS3 just so I would have a reason to turn the PS3 on.

Cool, thanks.
EDIT: Gui, that's a tough decision. I'd probably go with Skyrim. If you're like me, you'll get sucked into the world instantly, and it will be hard to leave for a while. Perfect game for the Summer. Plus, new DLC out in the Summer. Ooooh!
Skyrim.
I did enjoy Portal 2, Splinter Cell: Conviction, and Crysis 2 but Skyrim tops them all in playtime and enjoyability.

Do you need to play Dead Space 1 to understand Dead Space 2? I was considering buying it because it looked decent and was cheap..but I don't want to be lost completely confused as to whats going on.
Yeah, it has some very specific and in depth callbacks. Even if was totally separate, the first game is really great (I prefer it over the second).
I played the first one on the PS3, don't remember much about it though. I know the ending was really good, but yeah like Havok said it has some specific callbacks.

It's much more horror than DS2.
Otherwise: Hotel room booking is online at PAX. Quick question: When do I have to pay for the room? asap? or something? Normally I did it via a local travel agent but after I noticed how much it costs compared to self booking, I'll try to use to book a room by myself.
Ya but RB to melee? WTF.
Set that shit to Recon because that's what real men play

Recon is terrible, that shoulder button is totally wasted on reload.

FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU just realized what the railgun reminds me of:
I was doodling in class today and came up with this for an idea for the focus rifle/laser hybrid: the Gravity Rifle!
Any ideas for colors?
It takes a second (not literally, I'm not sure what the charge time would be) to get the charger spinning, and then it starts firing out a beam of plasma. You can do up to five seconds of sustained fire before it overheats; you only have about thirty seconds or so of fire. As for vehicles, it works similar to the scarab's beam but with EMP properties--it wrecks their hardware, and also has significant blowback properties. If you're grounded it's not too big of an issue, but if you're in something floaty like a Mongoose, you'll get EMP'd and then start getting tossed around. It takes about three seconds to kill a light vehicle, and the complete five to destroy something like a tank. Aerial units are inbetween, but are naturally harder to kill with it because while it EMPs them, they're now a dropping target with a ton of intertia.
The blowback affects you, too: if you jump and shoot it, you'll be pushed back a bit. Meaning while you can do mini-grenade jumps (albeit with ridiculous splash damage to yourself) to it, you can also propel yourself off edges if you're not careful. However, blowback would not only wreck jetpackers (EMP + pushing them off the edges of maps or just plain trapping them), but allow for some interesting use cooperatively, like using it to get to elevated places in campaign.
It should be noted it's only a vehicle/shield destroyer, though. It would take about ten seconds of sustained fire to completely kill a normally-shielded target, which is impossible. And since it blows you and them back, it's very difficult to spam grav beams and melee. It will blind targets if you shoot them in the head, much like the beta Focus Rifle. However, due to the power of the weapon, there are two major problems: it's very, very noticeable (due to a large, scarab-like beam, and due to the sound--think the Locusts from Halo Wars, but with some deeper tones in there, like the AA guns) and you have to be careful not to EMP allies or knock your teammates off edges. I think I might do an animation detailing most of its features at some point.
I recall her doing a lengthy interview talking about how most dev's had not been using the 360 to its potential and how there's still plenty to get out of it. As we see more and more of the game it becomes quite evident she wasn't lying.
Speaking of controller configurations, I hope that Sprint in H4 can be swapped with crouch, B for Sprint and Left Stick Crouch please.
I'm totally down.

More important, voting for president or playing Halo 4?
I think we all know the correct answer there.
