What time in the HaloGAF podcast do Wu and mastrbiggy give their impressions? I don't have time to listen to the entire thing right now.

Can you only get the jackpot once per night in only one of the two playlists?
I think it's once per 24 hours, although some folks have gotten it 3 times in a weekend.

Post dem!
Heard some things from you guys that I hadn't heard before, like the personal ordnance drops being tiered.
About to hop back on.
lol just discovered that girl the other day...

Seems like a certain Halo 4 enemy with grenades.
To make this relevant, if you were to float at the center point of a Halo, would you have equal gravitational tug in all directions?

So... I just got a ton of points for challenges and custom challenges i had been doing and I ranked up to General grade 3, and then after the next game it took all those points away... My bar went in reverse instead of going up...

Because Plywood is the internet.
Oh she does hardcore porn. Even better.
20 hours in and Ph1LzA is still going at it, almost done with Halo 2. Has over $750 raised for Child Play now.

Haha I received quite the surprise. Did a quick search to see who this woman was other than hula hoop girl and I found out indeed
that she lead me back to Plywood's hard drive.
What the fuck is being thought with these playlist?
Go into Team Objective:
1 Flag CTF on Reflection
Hot Potato on Countdown
Stockpile on Countdown
Then I get these other shitty gimmick gametypes like Speedflag. Get this shit out of here. Death of halo, etc. BK fucking bonanza, got bad kids running around with their glitter effects and shit, thinking this is FUCKING HALO.
THIS IS NOT FUCKING HALO.

And I can't even play Super Slayer anymore since people seem to keep voting ZB now. Which is fucking hilarious considering the low pop. the ZB Slayer playlist had.

I think I'll donate.
AND we get to play 5v5 on maps specifically built for 4v4! Grenade spam galore!

Will work for Halo Honor points.
On the topic of playlists:
In Halo 4 I'd personally like to see a more streamlined organization of matchmaking.
As an example, instead of separating playlists into Ranked and Social like of the past, I would prefer a base set of playlists that would each have a Ranked and Unranked option to pick from once selected. Selecting Ranked would turn off Radars (in at least 2v2s and 4v4s) and In-Game Joining. The playlists would be
Team Doubles (2v2)
Team Throwdown (4v4)
Squad Battle (6v6)
Big Team Battle (8v8)
Then, you could have your other playlists, such as:
Action Sack
Multi Team
etc
But that is just wishful thinking on my part.

Sadly, I think that Halo 4 matchmaking is going to be split like Reach's, with an "Infinity" copy of every standard playlist. I hope I'm wrong.
edit: Also, Hyper just gave me his pick. All first picks are done. Will sort the rest tomorrow after work. I am a sleepy monsterfracas.

Oh god.
What is the point of infinity and regular coexsisting? They're only difference is the personal versus global ordnance. Will they be separate playlists or just be mixed in with standard gametypes? Either way it doesn't seem smart: fragmentation from hell if they are separate or very confusing if the ordnance setup is different for each game.
Should have just picked one and went with it, at least for matchmaking (options are always welcome for customs).

Giving credit where credit is due - fantastic episode of the Forward Unto Dawn podcast this week. Made for fiction heads like me, covering a lot of the stuff that wasn't talked about in such detail even here on GAF.
Find my opinions and preferences mirrored by Dave a lot, which was neat, and Dani's "I really don't want it to be the Didact" struggle is still entertaining, months later.

True, but a lot of people are stupid and don't know what they want and a lot more people have no direction and need to be told what they want.
I saw too much shit being thrown into the playlists, yea the options were everywhere, but god they were disorganized and random.

I'd argue the personal ordnance drops are more basic and simple than the global random/not random/sort of random/they're fucking random global ordnance drops.
There's something to be said for a uniform matchmaking experience saving the consumer from themselves. Instead of trying to please every little whim of every corner of your fanbase resulting in fragmentation as far as the eye can see, offer a singular uniform vision of your game for the player that is hopefully awesome.

A I've been playing remake lately...... Is there seriously no way to change audio levels in the game? I want to bring the guns down and the music up...... I'm getting very very distressed about this.
I wish they'd reconsider how the categorize their gametypes. The way they described their system was first slot was Flag, second slot was King and Oddball, third slot was Assault/Headhunter/Stockpile--with a few exceptions, it seems like a great thing to implement. But the thing is...Hot Potato is not Oddball. It's a hot mess dressed up like Oddball. Flag Slayer barely involves flags anymore, why lump it in with Multiflag? Assault is, if anything, a CTF counterpart. Why is it lumped in with the crappy gametypes, subject to be overruled by Hot Potato votes in a tie? Speedflag started out in Action Sack, why did it migrate into Objective? Should be (number indicates slot restriction, letter indicates weighting priority):
1) a. Multiflag, b. Neutral Bomb, c. Multi Bomb (this is only in BTB now for some reason), d. One Flag, then I guess Neutral or 3 Flag.
2) a. Crazy King on maps that actually make sense, b. Oddball on maps that actually make sense (ie: not Sword Base), c. 3 Plots or Territories
3) The rest of the smelly garbage like Hot Potato.
Who am I kidding, voting data probably shows that Hot Potato is the most voted for gametype ever in the history of everything, with my luck. I have high hopes for a few of the Forge contest submission maps to hopefully bring some variety to that playlist, Sik's map Majesty in particular is pretty cool, but that playlist has been slowly becoming less attractive to me over time. Each update is a step forward and then an immediate step back.
Marty is very controlling about his audio mix, so there are no audio options. Who knows, maybe that'll change with the next game.
Zombie Ghosts is, I think, the worst thing I have ever played in a FPS game, ever
Then add DLC, people who don't own any, people who own it all, people who own just one pack. And mix in non-US peak times and you have playlists with incredibly low numbers like I get with Reach now.
Just the other day in Anny Classic there were some fine choices that were presented in two voting phases. First one was obviously chosen None of the Above as it was Oddball on Hang em High, a Slayer option, and Snipers on Headlong (which still has no reason to be in, "variety" was given; you know, if I want variety, I would want Reflection added, a Sanctuary map added, a Warlock map added, and not Snipers that gives unlimited ammo to a 3sk Pistol). Because that's wonderful.
The second phase was:
- Crazy King Hang em High
- Crazy King Beaver Creek
- Crazy King Prisoner
We had no choice. Until we're given a voting phase that grants players the option to choose the right gametype or map themselves, rather than a rigged up combo by the developer, we're going to continue to see things like this. We've seen Oddball on Snowbound and The Pit (hello attic and shield doors), Neutral Bomb on an asymmetric map, and continuing in Reach they put Oddball on small, narrow hallway maps, 3 Plots on Boardwalk (you know, reminds them of Turf evidently), Hot Potato, Crazy King placed anywhere and everwhere.
No thanks. No duplicate playlists for Slayer and Objective as it really adds no value other than putting two more players on the map in each. Just have on Training playlists that uses both Slayer and Objectives (CTF and Assault, for instance) and allow guests. That way they're not cramming up most other playlists, and it keeps the playlist count lower and healthier.
