I'd much rather have Ponies than Gears.

...no

 

[Karl2177]

I'm setting a goal for myself to have 5 MP wins in MM MP 24 hours from now. But I'm doing it in custom challenge form. Who wants to join me and rack up some cR doing it?*

*must be on my FL

 

[Barrow Roll]

Pony shit? We do not approve of such nonsense in Gears GAF.

I think Gears GAF would just be happy to have someone posting over there.

But really, the Gears community on GAF is either nearly non-existent or nobody is interested in actually playing with anyone. I got sick of going there trying to get a group together and getting no response. It's too bad because I always love me some Gears, just not rolling solo.

I just got off, hmmmppphh. I'll get on for one more game.

 

[Homeboyd]

That is no way to treat a visitor!

Look at how Pony Gaf responded!

I know GearsGaf would do the same.

 

[NullPointer]

You mock Gears now, but wait until we see all the premium DLC skins for your battle rifles hit the marketplace on day one.

I'm already saving pennies towards getting that shiny Arbiter texture on my DMR.

I wonder what the conversion rate is between MS points and Spartan points? Will we be able to buy tokens like in Forza 4?

 

[-PXG-]

Hold onto yer butts

 

[Barrow Roll]

Well hey, if you ever want to play Gears I'm down, but I know your policy on only rolling with the Gears equivalent of dongers. I am very, very rusty in Gears and probably wasn't all that great to begin with.

Still need to download that new map pack.

Listening to the Neil Davidge track while playing Starcraft 2...Blasphemous or awesome?

I was just playing some Gears 3 today.

Fucking awesome game.

 

[Blueblur1]

Halo 3 gaf saturday customs were incredible. They went on for like 7 hours and you had a huge queue of people waiting on the sides for a chance to get in (noone wanted to be on a second room without the halogaf elite). And this was still was going on 2 years after launch.

Those were good times.

OT but wat?

Such a pointless post.

 

[daedalius]

For great justice

Close to 117 posts huh? Fail; should have made sure I got to it and then stopped posting.

Also when is someone going to turn up that has worked on the world building software for halo? I think we might have a Certain Affinity employee lurker in here btw. I want to know about proprietary tools.

 

[Barrow Roll]

Such a pointless post.

It's a copy/paste of a post from Gaming Side in response to a pointless Wario64 thread.

 

[Im_So_Pringles]

Good gravy. This .gif alone rekindles my trust in 343! Looking forward to the Sparkast next week!

Damn right.

 

[zap]

Dat new thread smell.

I personally just want to hear Frankie's reassuring dulcet tones in the next Sparkcast.

 

[feel]

Just noticed on that gif and confirmed on the GI screens that the elevation indicator on the motion tracker is not by floor anymore, it points up even for people jumping in front of you. Wish they just didn't show elevation at all, but meh, they've brought much worse things over from Reach.

Ah, this one, right?

 

[Domino Theory]

Best title ever.

 

[Im_So_Pringles]

Also, I just rented Crysis 2 out of curiosity. I really hope 343 can atleast match the feeling of being a supersoldier in Crysis. Jumping around in armor mode chucking fools at other fools and slamming your fists directly on a guys cranium feels sooooo gooood.gif

 

[Surface of Me]

For great justice

Something I never noticed about the GIF before, but it looks like he gets 5 points for the kill and 5 for the headshot, and then 10 points are added to his teams score. Seems like medals will turn into points in certain gametypes. Maybe Wheelman will actually mean something!

I'm sure you guys already dissected this hours after it came out, but whatevs.

 

[heckfu]

You people. I fall asleep for like 2 hours and I come back and you've already gone through five pages. I REFUSE TO CATCH UP.

Reach actually did this occassionally, particularly on stairs. It wasn't consistent.

It's frustrating how radar is becoming even more of a crutch. I enjoy radar from Halo 3 - but Reach's makes me pay less attention without meaning to :/

No burritos. No sleep. Only HaloGAF!

Why don't you stream StarCraft?

I agree...kind of. The general feel of the movement is spot on, but pretty much everything else is mediocre to bad. AI is laughably bad while the shooting is uninteresting. The game is gorgeous, but it falls short of what it could be. But I do hope Halo 4's movement and abilities are something like C2's.

 

[-PXG-]

I went back to play Gears today. Not one bit of rust. Shit is like riding fucking bike.

Ez son.

Halo on the other hand. I need to re-buy Reach...

Speaking of, I stopped playing Gears after a bit, but I managed to find an Epic Games Easter Egg at PAX that had a Gears 3 season pass in it. Might go download some stuffs.

I wasn't really speaking for the rest of the game.... But yeah, I guess I feel the same way. Halo's AI spoils me when it comes to any other game out there!

Spoiler

Crysis 2's visuals are really, really awesome. Just a little repetitive though.

Did you find the one in the Chevy car hub cap?

I roll with a steady group of 3 semi-regularly now (they're not from GAF) so if you hop back in, you'll have 4 players easy.

Team shotguns with evade? Sounds like so much fun!

I'm always looking for people to play some Gears with. I have a few friends I usually play with, but we almost never have a full team.

The masochist in me wants to try this.

Yep, that's the one. And Wario's shtick is getting pretty old.

Awesome, I'll have to get back on one of these days.

GT is the same as my GAF name if you wanna add me.

The Gnasher is to Gears what the BR/Magnum is to Halo.

Nah it was under a TV at the Super MNC booth. I think someone must have found it before me since it looked opened. Guess that person didn't need it.

Holy hell this shit moves fast. Anything actually happen?

Cant. Stop. Staring.

Seriously, can't be quoted enough.

 

[kittens]

Hah, guess I'm the only one who can't stand Gears. No biggie. At least we can all agree that Shadowrun was terrible.

Spoiler

I never even played Shadowrun.

Edit : And yeah, that gif is serene.

 

[Domino Theory]

Paging Dani: could you elaborate on the planet Chief's headed towards now that we know its name and that it's in a Dyson Sphere (whatever that is)?

I don't like Gears either, broseph. Although I'll admit I had fun with the campaign of Gears 3 though. But I strongly dislike the other 2 games.

Dani will be afk for a week or two it seems. In his absence, however, I have prepared an appropriate response.

This is the inside of a Dyson Ball. Now, when closed up, the orange part forms the Shell. As you can see there are quite a few layers inside of this so I think we'll see many of these in the game.

 

[VivaciousJazzy]

Aw, I missed out on the new excitingness of a fresh thread.

edit: Nevermind.

To serenade the new thread.

Lol, well done.

 

[NullPointer]

A Dyson sphere is a hypothetical megastructure originally described by Freeman Dyson. Such a "sphere" would be a system of orbiting solar power satellites meant to completely encompass a star and capture most or all of its energy output. Dyson speculated that such structures would be the logical consequence of the long-term survival and escalating energy needs of a technological civilization, and proposed that searching for evidence of the existence of such structures might lead to the detection of advanced intelligent extraterrestrial life.

There's all kinds of Dyson stuff in that article, including a nifty picture of a Dyson ring

And another interesting bit:

SETI has adopted these assumptions in their search, looking for such "infrared heavy" spectra from solar analogs. As of 2005 Fermilab has an ongoing survey for such spectra by analyzing data from the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS).[23][24] Identifying one of the many infra-red sources as a Dyson Sphere would require improved techniques for discriminating between a Dyson Sphere and natural sources.[25] Fermilab discovered 17 potential "ambiguous" candidates of which four have been named "amusing but still questionable".[26] Other searches also resulted in several candidates, which are however unconfirmed[27]

That does not look like it has the proper amount of suction.

Dyson Sphere = big hollow sphere built around a star to harvest its energy.

Edit: Beaten AGAIN. I am terrible.

I do too, for what it's worth. I don't know if that's like a rude thing to say or not but I feel you Senador.
