I like the monk chants that play during the clip show at the end of the gameplay.

What the hell is this? Sherlock is fantastic, as is a lot of BBC

I've watched the SP trailer/demo again and tried to focus on just the music.
It's impressive, especially the part when your are facing and chasing the crawlers.

Another Spartan Ops question: Do you have to have completed an episode before downloading the next? If not, must you download the episodes in order? Thinking from an MM point of view.
Or will it be more of a "update" button that automajically downloads the ones you don't have?

Smh.
Fucking outrageous how people can get so many penalties in one game.
Absolutely, though I probably should have clarified that I was talking in terms of the fundamental aspects of the game. You should balance from the core-outward. Would have saved you some typing.
The last sentence goes without saying. I'm a believer that AAs can be a worthwhile supplement to the game's mechanics if they are implemented correctly. I'm pretty alone in holding that stance though, I'll admit.
Smh.
Halo Reach.

How do you guys even stand to play Halo: Reach, especially after seeing Halo 4, is beyond my compherension
It's a fun game.

Such a ridiculous position. Especially considering that most of us haven't even played it. I could understand making a statement like this if it was like previous iterations, where we had to go back to 2 after playing the 3 Beta or go back to 3 after playing the Reach Beta.

He said quantity, not quality.
It's the best active multiplayer game out right now.
How many HaloGAF have Shadowrun?

Someone should photoshop the Cryptum Orb that flies by MC in the demo and replace it with a giant Neogaf logo.
So guys, what is a sufficient upload speed on your ISP to not have a shitty connection?
I almost always have 'warning' in my upload speed on my box downstairs, and obviously speedtest gives me a D+
Of course when I called, they say I haven't had any network drops over the last 5 days, and I got a disconnection hiccup last night; not to mention my wife and I have gotten plenty of DCs from Diablo 3 on our wired computers.
I'll be adding like $30+ to my monthly bill to get to 2mbps upload speeds; I don't know if that is worth it.
Maybe I need to get some kind of signal booster for my wireless xbox downstairs, since my router is upstairs next to my computer...

oh, my bad. Shows me for reading gaf right out of bed.
Surprised this hasn't been done yet, honestly.
I would, but that's more motion tracking than I'm willing to put into it.
Or were you just talking about an image?

That would be an extremely cool avatar.

If they don't show drops, it's on your end not theirs. Bad hardware, bad setup, bad lines in walls, bad signal. Something. Can you get a tech out? Most come for free and only charge if they have to modify your house or get you new equipment.
Also, can you move your router? Can you temporarily have your Xbox plugged in to it and see if you still get drops that way?

I would guess that an increase in Gold subscriptions would justify the kind of time/money MSFT has invested in this project. If it generates even a fraction of the online activity that competitive multiplayer does that would be a big win.
SpOps really is a bold move not only for the series but for console gaming in general. So much depends on the level of input lag. Hopefully they saved some of their trademark wizardry for that problem.

I hate Reach. Hate it. Betray one teammate when I'm in a tank, get booted. And I had just got an Overkill in it

You could give it the full political cartoon treatment and lead up to it with Cortana and Chief talking about E3/specializations/controversial halo topic/etc, have the gaf orb bail out, label the Infinity "Off-Topic" or "Call of Duty" or something, and then throw in Cortana's "we know where he's headed" line. :lol

I found the three key elements that made this post possible, and some would say, inevitable!

Played some last night, might tonight. I still find it fun, but the flaws are a bit more prevalent after seeing Halo 4.

I find the worst vehicle that I accidentally betray in is the ghost. I always jump in and start to strafe and accidentally bump someone running that I didn't see. I'll get booted after 1 betrayal, and I won't get a boot option when some douche betrays me 4 times on purpose.
I wonder how Halo 4 will deal with betrayals.

I had a guy betray me on Prisoner today for the Sniper Rifle. Three melees, no enemies around, no boot option.
On the plus side, fixed Prisoner spawns
Smh.
Halo Reach in a nutshell.
Gonna snag this one!

You either have to betray really early in the match, or do a significant amount of friendly fire to get booted for one betrayal. Watch where you're shootin'/nadin'.I hate Reach. Hate it. Betray one teammate when I'm in a tank, get booted. And I had just got an Overkill in it

Well I've done all of the things that are listed on xbox.com (opening all the ports, static IP, etc), and no I can't connect my xbox to my PC really, although I have another wireless xbox in the room right next door that also has issues sometimes too.
The static IP seemed to improve my overall connection, but not the hiccups >.<
Ah yes, the bat symbol for a mouth.
That's a mustache sir
How about a podcast segment in a couple hours?
Zing! That's the noise I make when I want to say, "I'm in."

I need to do the same but have no idea how without making it look dumb. Maybe the UNSC logo should replace the Mirror's Edge logo. Although I love the ME logo...

Just "upgraded" my PC. Holy shit 3 extra GB of RAM makes a hell of a difference. Wish I had this much memory yesterday and the day before with all the stream craziness.
