I couldn't part from Charmander. I regret nothing
Presumably.
It's for my new place. I can't be there tomorrow for installation. Hopefully I can circumvent it by paying a friend to meet the installers.

UNSC fortification protects against human weaponry but not covenant.

It works in campaign, too, fences/grates in general usually work like that in-game. It works wonders on Legendary.
I wonder if that is intentional (Probably) or if someone forgot to put a flag in the material. It's not really intuitive, I only learned about it because I was trying to fire back at someone shooting at me with the NR with my DMR and saw it colliding with the fence.
Anyone know any other obscure cool gameplay mechanics ?
Thank man, means a lot. We are working on improving, we are all pumped for E3 next week.
Rebroadcast is up for people to see now.

It actually comes from Halo 3, where the fences would generally allow bullets (Spiker rounds, shots from BRs and even Beam Rifles, etc) to pass through. It also made its way into Foundry in that the Fence Walls (the gigantic square ones) operate on the same properties, and as a result you had some interesting minigames that made use of this concept. Since Shield Doors are the exact opposite (don't allow projectiles but can let things pass through physically) combining them or using them together allowed for some interesting map design options, such as windows that offered full visibility but couldn't be broken/moved/shot through, etc.

Outta curiosity, does anyone know how to record a 'podcast' with people in multiple locations easily?

I absolutely cannot wait for E3. 4 more sleeps indeed. Do us proud, Frankie, can't wait to see what's under your kilt.

Most of the ones I've been on simply use Skype, and then record from there.

skype, both of you record your own parts using audacity, combine the sound files

If you use the MP3 Skype Recorder, I believe you can bypass the Audacity splicing altogether, though you do sacrifice sound quality.
Tashi, Duncan, and Domino do.

Get everybody on Skype, set your sound device to only record internally (so you don't end up recording sound from your speakers through your mic), hit record on whatever recording software you're using. You'll only be recording the one stream, no splicing bullshit necessary.

Easily? Skype. It has the least hassle, but voice quality and latency are a big issue. Even if you just use Skype, I would absolutely still recommend that you record your individual tracks strictly from a quality standpoint. Skype VOIP can be choppy under the best of circumstances.
I didn't recommend it for the HaloGAF Podcast before because I didn't have any experience with it, but Mumble is supposedly orders of magnitude better, with better voice quality, auto-leveling, and reduced latency. Thing is, you'll have to set up or find a server (there's a GAF server -- information here), so it's not as easy, and I have no idea what kind of privacy options there are for parties within the server. All depends on your needs.

Very true! Quality stuff from you guys
We haven't really had too many issues with the Waypoint Modcast either. I would definitely give it a shot...
Oh, I wasn't making any comments about the quality of the podcast in particular, I think it sounds perfectly fine and the relative ease of getting everybody in there is probably much more attractive than minor (especially with consumer-grade mics) audio quality differences. Mumble's primarily used in situations where bandwidth is being eaten up by a game in the background anyway, so latency in that situation is all relative and probably not comparable to your recording situation.

At least the weapon designs in Halo 4 look better than Reach.
And some say I can't say anything positive.

But....but...you're wrong.
DMR scope is ugly as sin. Holding off because maybe it looks better in a higher definition but god damn, why you gotta do ol girl like that, 343?
BR scope is hit too, but I don't fucks with that weapon all like that, so I'm good.
Yep.
