agreed. I mean come on, show a little imagination! Let the player make their own way around the level. There are all these 3D resources but they're sticking to 2D linear designs, it's frustrating

It was Nintendo related. Something about a calculator.
In other news, those helmets look awesome. My favorites:
Just noticed the new USNC logo in the back, nobody tell the BBC that.

No! There is always hope! I'll get one! I will!
Both are pretty great but they will be outdated with the release of Halo 4. Wait for the next version.
I follow you for two years already and I am always surprised when you tweet sth.
Dear 343 Industries,
I still haven't seen a payout for not quitting a single game.

Repost, but still relevant.
That is why I only play Grifball with friends.
I got mine after quitting a game, for the first time in months. I suggest quitting - there is no quit bonus. The bonus is a lie.
Blocked FakeWu on twitter, dude's a fuckwad.
*reenters hiding*
How much is the payout supposed to be anyway?
no come back! we need you!
Kind of what I figured after so long. :_(
I honestly don't know. I have gotten occasional 4 digit jackpots (almost always 3,000 cR), but so has everyone else on my team when it happens. So that has nothing to do with not quitting.
I actually have this theory that I can't prove at all that you'll never get the bonus if you never ever quit matchmaking, to prevent people from boosting through games (having people on both sides end it in the minimum) to get it. It's looking for "normal" behavior, ie sporadic quitting or disconnects, before it'll hand it out.
I've recieved the bonus jackpot at least 2 times within 2 games of quitting.
Louis Wu still holds an award though. We were playing Firefight for the Super Jackpot. I joke that we'll get it right after suiciding the game out (I think someone was inviting us, and it was Doubles, so it wasn't hurting anyone)
We suicide out.
Wu gets the Super Jackpot after our first game.
I don't.
:lol

I hope there's no Gravity Hammer in Halo 4 so Grifball can remain a terrible relic of the past.
I officially love you. lmfao...
I love your cat <3

Just read about the invasion update, so glad to see four maps making it in, I wished Meteora was also there but I guess the framerate was still quite bad.
GRACIAS DIOS BASADO!

All of them are pretty great imo
Invasion and BTB will be my new home.
Those are the best cats.

Last time I played Griffball something similar went down.
Got paired against a team of 5.
Their butt buddy on our team would betray us all at the start of the round.
Their team then proceeded to rush our side, and continuously spawn killed us for the entire duration of the round.
Rinse and repeat for the rest of the game.
Yes.
We often play with teams of 5. Our challenge is to lead our team of randoms to victory when we are the odd man out. I have only done it twice, but it is a hugely satisfying achievement.
Grifball, or a form of it, was the second item "Officially confirmed by 343i tweets to be returning in Halo 4". I believe the first confirmed item was the return of the DMR.
Sorry.
not sorry

I kinda like the look of the Venator armor, but the rest just look meh. Hope that Venator armor isn't too expensive. :lol
I have done it a lot on accident when our team of 4 gets split up, and it is hardly satisfying. Mostly makes me realize the team I'm partied with is equally bad or worse at Halo as I am.

Almost everyone on HaloGAF praised that helmet.

Can't unsee the pokeball.
It's the greatest helmet of all time*

Yeah, when the picture was even smaller than the resized one I posted there. :lol
The encyclopedia is good, but as others have said it'll probably be updated at some point. The other book is ok, but if you're after a sexy book of Halo art I'd recommend this one:
Halo: The Art of Building Worlds
It's a much bigger and nicer book than the Visual Guide, imo.

I'd wait on the encyclopedia, because no doubt it will be updated, although it features an amazing foreword by Frankie.
I recommend the visual guide though, concise and fantastic, not bulky and generally a pleasure to look at.
Although, I'm a bit biased seeming as my buddy Stephen worked on it.
Gotta catch 'em all!

Made the assumption that the original Xbox and the Xbox 360 cannot 'cross-'system link with Halo 2. Was I right? I've never actually tried...
Listening to the Halo 3 OST tonight as I do some animation work.
I knew this thing was fucking amazing, but I'd forgotten just how amazing it really was.
Standout tracks:
Disc 1:
Released
Brutes
To Kill A Demon
This Is Our Land
Dread Intrusion (because it's got Ghosts of Reach in it)
Farthest Outpost
Behold A Pale Horse
Disc 2:
Three Gates
One Final Effort
Halo Reborn
Greatest Journey
Roll Call
Finish the Fight

I think it would work. As far as I know, Halo 2 is run in an OG Xbox "emulator" - I don't see why it wouldn't work.
It should work.

How did they make these guesses? I thought Bubble shields was a confirmed no, and from the name "Regeneration field", it sounds like it will be a lot like Halo 3's regenerator, I fail to see how either could possibly be bubble/drop sheild-esque.
Hmm, I don't have an original Xbox anymore, I'm trying to plan a 16 player classic Halo LAN, and we may not have enough Xboxes. Gonna be fun nonetheless.

Hardlight Shield is Armor Lock, but only in one direction.

I really want to know if all this stuff is going to make it as free/unlockable or day 1 dlc content.

Bro-tip: Pick the one you want and set the order up as normal, then for every other retailer order it, but use expired card details. The order will bounce so they won't send the game, but by this point your address may already be on the "send DLC code list".
This has worked for me a few times with different games, I got all the LA Noire content this way.

they are based on the leaks we know.
I'll never understand how online like reach(and MW3) are fun for those people that have like .3 and .2 k/d's. I get stuck with a guy in team slaer that is 700-3600 k/d and he didn't get one kill(-14). Is it fun for you getting romped? I'm not saying I'm the bee's knees but at some point you gotta say, 'maybe this game isn't for me.'

Imagine hard light shield on the swordbase. One guy blocking the entrance to yellow lift, the other 3 teammates keep spamming grenades into the room while the enemy team keeps going up the lift.
Halo 4.
