Halo |OT4| Trust's a Tough Thing to Come by These Days

Putting Cragmire in MM?
Joke brother, I've not even played it yet!

Oh fuck, you're onto me

Tell us more

FyreWulff's steps to throwing ragers into rage:

Identify if person is easily rageable via their voice chat output, wait until about 30 kills in. Teabag them after they die, even if I didn't kill them. Now they're fuming.

Now after each kill, continue to shoot their dead body with your gun. DMR has a nice effect for this. Now they're practically popping a vein through the mic.

For icing on the cake, kill them with a sniper rifle and then proceed to empty the clip steadily into their dead body. They'll go nuclear after that one.

I swear I've tilted games in our favor by slowly ramping up the mental warfare as it went on. teabag -> body punching -> body shooting -> cross map body shooting with the sniper rifle. If someone says something over the mic to you after you've teabagged them and they teabag you back, this will usually work on them.

I've spent too much time on this post. But tl;dr shooting someone's dead body seems to set people off.

Wait for the drop

True story, when using Promethean vision you emit a sound so people nearby know you're using it. On several occasions I tried to convince the audio team that sound should be dubstep.

Tajeen was not amused.

Do drops make a sound when you spawn near them? In Halo 3, when you spawned next to an OS or camo, you heard a BWOMP sound (the same one they normally made when they spawned).

Maybe a similar cue could be available to say "hey, you should check for a drop around here".

I wonder if the Didact wants the Infinity on the planet to possibly find a new vessel. Sometime in this trilogy I fully expect him to get a new body rather than being in that ball.

ok how can he even be alive still I read a bunch of stuff on Halopendia but still can't make since of that.

Personal ordnance doesn't just drop weapons. You're never going to have a situation where someone can select between a rocket launcher, sniper rifle or sticky detonator.

Well that helps put it into context. I wonder what's in the drops then. Power ups/specializations?

Oh fuck, you're onto me

So just be a jerk basically? You know, if this was certain other people they get ragged on, so you should too. Not cool.
 
Personal drops don't co-exist with Ordinance drops in the same match do they? It could make Certain Affinity weapon layouts seems like MLG Midship.

Doesn't it still seem a bit light though? I'm sure some of the maps will be suited for multiple core gametypes, but anyway you slice it 10 is a pretty low number. Unless the Forge component is just that good and there's a bunch of those in there from the start like with Reach (ques rage posts).
David, pls

I only do it to people that teabag me first (and repeatedly). I don't be a jerk to non baggers. Usually they're racist fucks on the voice chat as well.

If people don't teabag you, they're not affected by the teabagging anyway, so it'd be a waste of my time to try the tactic on them. I just like hearing obnoxious voice chatters get set off :p

Actually, I think we might have perfected it. You'll have to wait about 6 months to see for yourself. :)

Calling it now: you can tap a button over an enemy's corpse to launch your codpiece into their face.

Anyway, 5 would be okay amount of PWs, two paired weapons and one other? And i still need to know how many Plasma Grenades i should add at most (the map is about the size of Asylum with two levels). Or should i treat those as power weapons too?

That's a good point on the Concussion rifle and knockback, I'd definitely make that a single weapon on the map and then two shotguns and two sniper rifles. Without any place to hide the shotguns should inspire less doorway-camping and the snipers should be fine as long as the clip size is down.

In terms of stickies, try two clusters of two and two with just one (and maybe drop it next to a weapon, something like the plasma pistol or needler if you use them) If that proves too much you can yank out the single grenades and treat them as power weapons.

If you've got it on fileshare, send a friend invite to Retrogames (I think we may already be friends though) and I'll take a look at it.

If Armor Lock is in, can you guys find a way to license the Most Annoying Sound in the World? That, or the Chocolate Milk kid screaming. Either way, the whiny little kid sound is appropriate.

Yep, not saying he's fond but :
1/ he's fond of the two humans he got captured with
2/ he knows "Precursors" are fucking with both humans and forerunners and has sweared vengeance to them
3/ fucking loves the Librarian to the point of curbing his rigorous following of the Mantle so as to find a convergence point between his and hers.
4/ He knows his time is passed, that Forerunners failed. Why bring war to humans? it seems pesky. He already beat them and he knows his victory is tainted by the fact the humans were fighting on two fronts.



Exactly my point for posting here and not the old Primordium thread.
Yet spoilering is not too hard, I'll gldaly do it to keep discussions friendly.
you got a link the the description of the Librarian... or is it not good enough to bother with. I really hope they show what they really look like in halo 4.

Yep. I only mess with people who mess with me first, haha

I miss Halo.



lol

Hey, just figured if you or kyle posted that, it'd turn into a whole fiasco so he shouldn't be free of that either. ;)

Taking a video game this seriously...

There's real people behind every controller...

I actually could care less and do crap like they myself sometimes. See above though.

Gotta try this.

Taunting people is useful. Once, in Halo 3, i t-bagged this one guy. A bit later i killed him again and t-bagged him. After that, he just keeps attacking, again and again, ignoring all others. I just keep killing him and t-bagging him... i had voices muted so i don't know his reaction but considering how badly he played and how obsessed he was on killing me, he must have been filled with rage.

The only time someone appears to disintegrate is when they are killed with a scattershot or light rifle. Kills by other weapons seem to leave the body laying around still.

Hmm, i guess i'll make a few versions of the map with different weapon layouts.

That Plasma 'nade suggestion is a good one, i was going to add a couple of Plasma Pistols. So, 6 Plasma 'nades.

I'll send an invite. Your profile gives US as your location though, which tends to be inconvenient though, as i'm in Finland. That's, what, 7 hour difference?
Seriously, screw timezones, make the world one timezone. Some people have to become nocturnal but it ain't a big deal.

Huh. Well, if the leaks are true, it appears the Wii U has 2GB of RAM. That'd go a long way to improved textures.

edit: well uh, wrong thread, but i guess I have to leave it here.

Can't wait to hear impressions from pros today.

I wanna hear it but I don't know how serious I'll take all of it considering I'm a rare breed in the competitive community by liking bloom and sprint. Also, really want to know exactly how much play time they get.

Pros like Sprint if it's implemented good, the new bloom looks and sounds a lot better, wait and see.

Will there be any coverage of these sessions? Live?

Just for MLG Anaheim from what I know.

Also MLG removed 4 teams from their Spring League for Halo Reach, stay classy MLG.

Yep me as well.

Campaign looks totes ridic. I haven't been this excited for a campaign since H3. I don't care if the enemies look like bionicles or kittens, they look fun to fight.

Spartan Ops looks awesome as well. Meshing a firefight like situation with campaign type scenarios and having new missions each week for free is crazy awesome.

But multiplayer is still iffy with me. I've gotten over the whole loadout thing, but I don't know about these personal ordinances and perks. The storm rifle also seemed really really powerful in the b-roll, especially since it's not a precisions weapon. I hope it was just an old build, or maybe only works that well in close quarters.

I guess we'll see today

But overall Halo 4 looks fucking awesome.
