Support NeoGAF

[StalkerUKCG]

Thanks for the games chaps, thought it playtested really well. Gonna make some small changes to aid framerate and reduce the overall budget a bit, and will have to check through all the settings for other gametypes, but overall, good fun.

Oh and I moved rockets to where sword spawns, and removed sword. Less of clusterfuck of explosions in the first 20 seconds that way.

GG!

Me and Swift were busy showing Geth what N7 means sorry we couldnt join

I think the Covie and Forerunner weapons look sick, but those UNSC weapons outside the AR really need some work. I think the BR would be better if it was black instead of grey with that yellowish stripe.

It's not the color that's the main problem, it's the model itself. The model isn't the sleek version it was in 2/3.

You know, the more I think about it, the more I understand 343's dilemma of staying true to original designs while giving the universe a new look.

 

[dangerbyrnes]

The needle rifle is butt ugly

i agree, i think it just needs a slight change to make it look better.

still really fun to use though.

At 5:20 in that video. Crouching with the Hardlight shield was a "new sandbox combination they had never thought of."

Flashbacks of Zealot space section. No need for a beta guys, MS internals are vigorous enough!

Seriously though, Halo 4 really should've had a beta. All major multiplayer shooters with a lot of variables to balance should have a beta really.

New needler looks great.

 

[Gabotron ES]

It's such bullshit. I play Halo with people from:

Penny Arcade Forums
NeoGAF
HBO
Bungie.net

Even if I split it evenly, that's 25 people per site I can have, and each has way more than that many people on them, and that's ignoring any people local to me that I play with and family members.

It's sad when MS still has 100 friends limits when Nintendo lets you make Groups (clans) with limits far and beyond that. Fucking Nintendo.

Dude relax, what more do you want for 60 freaking dollars?

"Are there gonna be dedicated servers?"

"Sorry can't comment on that"

Why not dismiss it outright if we're not getting them? Seems an odd answer considering that interview a while back which confirmed no dedis...

checked my zoom setting and everything

feels like everyone has got caps lock on, everybody is yelling at me.

They might be trying things out, calm down.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

I see nothing.

 

[Woorloog]

They might be trying things out, calm down.

AAAH! PANIC!

 

[kittens]

Yeah, I don't see a difference.

Edit: I DON'T SEE A DIFFERENCE.

Who knows what they might be trying to implement and test right now. I doubt Halo 4 will have dedicated servers but for all we know there could be a chance and maybe they just don't want to rule it out at this stage.

This is terrible, I feel like my eyes are shrinking.

[Gui_PT]

Yeah what the hell is up with the font?

I thought I changed something by mistake but I guess not

It's like I accidentally zoomed in on the page

 

[StalkerUKCG]

[ElzarTheBam]

Same here.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Oh god changeover hit dont want the new font size back to 11 please

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Whoever designed the new sniper must be working on Neogaf now. /topical humor

 

[Zeouterlimits]

C'mon there won't be dedi's.

The reason for that statement is probably not everyone being on the same page and a heat of the moment thing.

 

[Plywood]

Yeah, I don't see a difference.

Edit: I DON'T SEE A DIFFERENCE.

The text is bigger.

You've been zoomed in this whole time and you got used to the weird look on the font.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

This could actually be quite true, I always zoom in on the iPad. Lol.

 

[TheOddOne]

Why does GAF look so weird. The font looks... odd.

 

[Plywood]

I'm going to kick you.

 

[TheOddOne]

I'm going to kick you.

What an odd thing to say. Maybe it's odd, that you find it odd, that I find it odd that this looks really odd.

Spoiler

Odd.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

It's actually making my eyes water a little.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Shut up junior.

 

[TheOddOne]

Shut up junior.

You have hit my weak point for massive damage.

I like a little bit of pain in the foreplay. Well done.

 

[HigherLevel]

I like the new font size. Easier on the eyes.

 

[Rickenslacker]

The fuck is going on? Why did the GAF font change?

I thought I was just playing too much Binding of Isaac and my perception was warped.

Edit: Now I refreshed and everything's back to small.

 

[HigherLevel]

There should of been a beta. Now we're left with this broken mess.

Glimpse into the future with Halo 4?

and the old size returns!

 

[789shadow]

Oh god, new things. DO NOT WANT.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Thank god. Yeesh.

 

[Woorloog]

Panic finally over.

 

[TheOddOne]

I kind of liked the bigger font size. You guys never gave it a chance.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Unfortunately, we did.

There should be a vote where you can choose to make threads with either, but in the end the results are ignored and the new font size is used only in Community threads for some reason.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Buncha scrubs couldn't adapt so they had to change it back.

And then they get rid of Gaming Community and replace it with another FAQ subforum.

k I laughed

 

[TheOddOne]

Exactly.

By increasing the font size you ruin the interelationship of the negative shape, the figure ground relationship. The shapes between characters and within the characters so that the counters and the space between them just do not hold the letters anymore. It's no longer letters existing in a powerful matrix of surrounding space it's just jarring to the eyes by creating such an expanse between each letter you make each word feel obtuse.
