Heh. We ran into Greenskull in matchmaking.

He recognized me.


Then we smashed him and his team.

[Stripper13]

I have no idea if I'm available for this tournament due to time zones etc. So I'm definitely keen, but it depends on what you guys decide is a suitable time to hold it. I'm Australian too... So expect shitastic connection.

Stats: BPR 95, k/d 1.7, win percentage 63%

Also my gamer tag is STRPR
I think I'm on the GAF list though

 

[User 73706]

Should we try and make a "GAF Slayer" gametype for the tourney so we can have consistent settings across the board?

 

[feel]

we just steaked the ReadyUpLive youtube nerd who was complaining about Halo leaks. so good

Spoiler

Lots of hard work is going on at every level.

and nice

I think someone made one when the original zero bloom settings came out

Just d/l it earlier today, watching tonight. So excited.

splaser starts? AL only. 90% movement speed. 110% bloom?

Thank you.

My problem with Waypoint is that it's slow.

Loads slower than any other website I go to.

That's all I want improved from it.

 

[CyReN]

pirating is bad.

I don't know about that

 

[Louis Wu]

Big team.

Me 23-12

My team:
16-10
16-19
3-17
1-14
Quit
Quit
Quit

We lose 48-61.

Awesome.

I just watched my son go 37-14 in BT, 3 quitters total (both teams)... and his team lost, 83-82. I mean... really.

 

[Spawnling]

Has there been any light shed regarding commendations in Halo 4?

 

[User 73706]

For GAF Slayer: We should have four loadouts to better handle the 4v4 matches.

Optional: Maybe even turn it into a class-based thing where the team captain gets loadout 1, the designated distraction gets hologram, etc.

This. The site is great. Everything I've analysed is pretty well written, I think they just need to put some money into some brand spanking new servers.

They're in I think.

 

[Karl2177]

I don't know about that

I downloaded Pulp Fiction

when they had a deal on it.

So good.

Arena Slayer with 110% speed. Ship it.

I also love your avatar.

The fugly default SPIV helmet is still not growing on me.

Use the MLG gametype. Done. Perfect.

I disagree with it being great. It's pretty difficult to find some average stuff, like finding the game history. In addition, linking to the site is so inconsistent

 

[Plywood]

Or you could just pick a different helmet.

Ofcourse, I intend to have a healthy amount of credits going into War Games. After Campaign comes Spartan Ops after all.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Gotta disagree. It's really confusing on some areas, really hard to find things. There entire stat section needs some dramatic overhaul.

 

[Fuchsdh]

The site linking is janky, some of the service record stuff needs to be put front-and-center, and it needs to be clearer that what you're linking to (such as your own record) won't be viewable by others unless you navigate to yourself like other tags.

Speed is good too, but usability in other respects is paramount.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

I dunno it might be servers but browsers seem to have a hard time reading all the info. Too much active jizz everywhere.

It is the 343 creed though. Looks over Performance. Should get used to it!

 

[VivaciousJazzy]

Is this somewhat accurate?

No I didn't make it.

Is there one of those for haven?

 

[Karl2177]

This cannot be echoed enough. It needs to be a simple process, not having to search through a clusterfuck of menus. Also, it's so borked that Super Slayer isn't one of the playlist options.

 

[Booties]

Dear Kyle and Co,

Invite me, when you need I.

Warmest regards,
Booties


Everyone else, I'm deleting noble and trying to get the last man standing achievement in defiant. Join me if you need it. Need a big party to get the defiant maps.

This is the second time you're telling me this.

 

[Lazslo]

Is anyone playing Reach? I got a couple games of Squad DLC in me- Lasio Join me

 

[CyReN]

Could you explain what you liked about playing halo 4 and what you didn't like? by Naded

 

[TheOddOne]

This is the second time you're telling me this.

Did you change username?

 

[Azar]

Been eyeballing Halo Anniversary, or at least the Map Pack, to get back into playing some multiplayer with friends. I'm wary, though, because a lot of Reach's changes drove me away from playing. How's the game these days? More fun in the Anniversary playlists with the classic maps?

 

[Einchy]

For the guys that played Halo 4 this past week, does the sprint work like it does in Reach? Where if you press sprint you keep running as long as you're going forward. Or do you have to keep the button pressed down like in CoD or other game's with sprint?

 

[Steelyuhas]

Went to go play some Arena games for shits, dear lord it is all Forge maps, and they are all terrible.

PLEASE 343 keep Forge maps out of matchmaking in Halo 4, or at least keep them in their own little bastard community map playlist. I want to play on the maps that you guys developed.

Just a guess, but since it's on the stick now, I wouldn't be surprised if they just gave you the option to toggle just like crouch.

But Fourge is going to be a full, complete, studio-level map creator from the ground up that will let you create maps down to the finest detail and will still run your maps at a locked 30 fps.

Spoiler

They (Bungie) tried a community map playlist already...

 

[op_ivy]

sounds good

 

[User 73706]

The only real additional toggle options I want are either:

Jumppack control scheme that allows for double-tapping jump to initiate jetpack

OR

An AA toggle option. It'd be less difficult to figure out a decent control scheme if we could actually move and aim without having to worry about holding down a button for Hardlight Shield or Jetpack.

Doesn't matter if it was to be honest. I want to play on the developer maps that I paid for, including DLC. Speaking of which, if there is not a DLC algorithm that work in Halo 4 I won't be buying DLC. I got burned on Reach DLC, I won't get burned again.

That just shows how good of an avatar it is.

The Anniversary playlists are definitely better than the stock Reach playlists. But honestly, at this point it's best to run it with a bunch of gaffers or some friends. It's not worth going in alone. At all.

Also, new avatar photoshopped from the Syndicate preview video by Gintoki!

Ok, they could reorganize their stats. Bungie did that a little better I think. I liked that cool SVG magic the pulled with this:

But I think it's inevitable that they will update the stats page for Halo 4, and judging by the quality of halowaypoint.com/halo4, I have faith. That sub-site is amazing from a developer's perspective.

• Parallaxes
• HTML5 Video
• Smooth AJAX jump and scrollTo Navigation
• Brilliant aesthetic
• Multiple carousels
• Well presented information
• SEO (crawl-able) "Shebang" links. [Albeit hashed for some reason]

I dunno, but I liek it.
