I don't think any of us ever posted our ban free nudes in the OT either.

Wasted opportunity.

 

[kittens]

Looks like he's pouring Champagne all over his sweet titties. :_\

I like this interpretation best.

 

[Fracas]

Whoa, definitely not done with Halo. I hope my posts didn't come across that way. I'm obviously disappointed by how things went, but not in a TrounceX sort of way. I'll be on Reach tomorrow probably. If anyone had to lag and go -19 across both games I would rather it have been Heckfu, that's all.

Battlefield doesn't interest me, but I may buy Minecraft sometime soon if only to see what all the fuss is about (Borderlands as well at some point). I'm sure Monster Balls will ride across the Halo battlefields again at some point.

Talking about Reach, haha.

Outside of customs, I think I'm finally done with Halo: Reach.

 

[LD2k]

I got here in 2008. I wish I would have been here during H2 times.

Dat Glory Days.

 

[Oozer3993]

I was hating Armor Lock before it was cool.

* Armor Lock is annoying as all holy hell.

I started posting on GAF the very day the Legendary Map Pack was released for Halo 3. So early 2008. I was posting at Ascendant Justice back then and the fine fellows there pointed me in GAF's directions when I inquired about people to play the new maps with.

 

[Ryaaan14]

I like this interpretation best.

Maybe I'll get bored in Photoshop tomorrow. ;_D

 

[Tunavi]

One thing I will say, the gun fired super fast. There just didn't seem to be any real power behind it besides the shield-stripping.


One more thing: THANK YOU FRANKIE for allowing me to take part in that event. I can't tell you how much fun I had, I only wish that it was longer than three hours.

amen, big thanks to frankie and allison for the invite

squid, did you get a goodie bag?

 

[Ramirez]

Wasted opportunity.

Wasn't it though? I ALMOST want to make a post full of it, then link to that post, lmfao.

Dat Glory Days.

Glory days of SMG starts on BTB maps, standbying, cheaters, modders, etc. etc. DEM GLORY DAYZ.

Halo 2 on XBL was a great game, but man, the nostalgia is thick for some of you.

 

[Steelyuhas]

There needs to be a scheme with shoot, grenade, sprint, AA, and crouch not on face buttons.

 

[Hydranockz]

Op_ivy's also been here forever, and DopeyFish still posts in gaming side Halo threads, then the list of people who are still around starts to dwindle down with people like urk, Voc, and kittens joining in '05-'06, then there was a big 2007 burst within 6 months or so with Dani, Cocopjojo, and you and I.

You and I were approved a lot closer together than I had figured, I would have pegged you as being way ahead of me--I was more than happy to just lurk the billion Halo 3 threads leading up to launch (sans the best Halo thread ever created). Crazy how few of the old guard guys are still regulars.

Hasn't Kuryome been around for quite a while too?

All this time, Ram could have saved countless Halo threads...

We're archived bro

HaloGAF's first Humpday.

IAmNude was a legend.

Psh this is the real genesis of Halo-GAF.

Spoiler

That's when I joined.

Remember when urk was a regular member? Whooo boy...

Now he's all high and mighty. LOOK AT HIM. Butthole fishhooking and all that...

dont worry, a couple of months after 4 has been released, people will be wanting the glory days of reach back, with all its armor lock and bloom goodness

I can't wait to compare the outcome of Halo 4 and all of your posts. I have a folder of your posts THISSSSSSS big.

 

[789shadow]

I simply just can't see this happening. Sorry.

Spoiler

Me in 6 months: "I miss Reach."

 

[OverHeat]

HaloGAF isn't a club. We're all on GAF. It can feel disruptive to have a flood of new posters in what's become a secluded group here, but I think that's a good thing. Not defending his posts in specific, just the general sentiment expressed in the bold. A lot of folks join GAF for certain areas of discussion, including HaloGAF. I think we should welcome everyone.

Ghaleon once again you proved that your the heart of HaloGAF!

 

[Tawpgun]

Fuck.

BTB is bad. DMR ruins it completley. You can't even go near the enemy base in a warthog before dying.

pls fix 4 Halo 4

 

[User 73932]

To be completely honest, from what I've seen I can't say I really favor Longbow, at least from a Warthog standpoint. So if I get excited over the Hog on a map like that, that speaks volumes about what more open maps will feel like with one.

Longbow wasn't a very good Hog map imo. It has a path somewhat like Unearthed. Felt restricting.

 

[789shadow]

Fuck.

BTB is bad. DMR ruins it completley. You can't even go near the enemy base in a warthog before dying.

Not to worry, in Halo 4, your Warthog will be annihilated halfway to the base by 6 Auto Turrets!

 

[Havok]

Yeah, forgot about both him and OverHeat, who I remember playing a bunch of Halo 2 customs with on Coag back in the day and just dreading his snipe.

 

[kittens]

From the Halo Reach beta thread:

Played a Stockpile game where some asshole on my team was camping our flag room, so when we did the hard work and brought the flags to our base, he would pick up the flags and steal our captures. What a dick. I found out what he was doing so I held one of the flags until the counter went down to make sure I get the credit and the asshole team kills me.

I want to try that ASAP, haha.

One too many actions for the amount of triggers and bumpers.

I think he was also including stick clicks.

 

[Ryaaan14]

I'm curious, who else was brought to GAF by Tom Morello?

 

[Havok]

From the Halo Reach beta thread:


I want to try that ASAP, haha.

I'm pretty sure one of the first things they mentioned fixing from the beta (it might have even been fixed during the beta) was that, I know I tried it at launch for laughs and it didn't work. I think now whoever gets it in the circle first gets the point.

 

[Ramirez]

All this time, Ram could have saved countless Halo threads...

lol, what do you mean?

 

[Reagan's BR]

Anyone from my team or others want to hop on?

 

[Recarpo]

I want to try that ASAP, haha.

Didn't they fix that a while back?
Yep, like havok said.

 

[Domino Theory]

GAF is Tom Morello.

 

[FPS Fan]

Quick observation on vehicle damage I noticed

When the Warthog blows up, the driver is still at a quarter shields. Granted, there are a lot of enemies shooting at him, and someone could have gotten a DMR headshot to kill him, but to me it seems like there's still vehicle health independent of the player health.

Also it doesn't seem as if any explosion sets off the kill, so I'd assume that means that it's bullet fire that causes the Warthog to go off, so it overall looks pretty similar to Reach's vehicle damage model. Not sure how I feel about this, it seems so far that the Warthog handling has been buffed from Reach, but I've still got a bad taste in my mouth from vehicle health without a health bar.

 

[Bregmann Roche]

I'm curious, who else was brought to GAF by Tom Morello?

I lurked here before Tom Morello, because I remember when it first hit, but I have no idea how I found this place. Possibly a random post on Bungie's site that linked to this place? A google search for "halo communities with weird .gifs"? The answer is lost in the sands of time.

 

[Zoso Achilles]

I think it'll be fine. You don't need to hold down the trigger for extended periods of time to throw a grenade, but you need to hold down the trigger for Hardlight Shield and Jetpack. I'd much rather be able to look around while using Hardlight Shield and Jetpack than let my muscle memory dominate my playstyle.

I mean, how often are you turning/jumping/meleeing/switching weapons while throwing a grenade?

All the time. seriously, grenade on anything but LT is stupid. Whoever had the idea that grenade would be ok on a face button wasn't thinking clearly. I don't know how old this conversation is at this point, but please stop trying to make concessions for a bastardized bumper jumper layout. We were fine in reach with the only downfall being limited jetpack use (or at least I was, anyways.)

If I'm thinking of the e3 BJ build correctly, I think it would be perfect with grenade and AA switched. If that means I can't use hard light shield (lol) or jetpack (lmao) as well as someone else, so be it. I wasn't going to touch those anyways.

 

[Hydranockz]

lol, what do you mean?

Your "Get out of ail FREE" card

 

[Ramirez]

Your "Get out of ail FREE" card

"Oh, another AR/BR fight, here's some tits instead!"

What took you so long to join?

"Oh, another AR/BR fight, here's some tits instead!"

I would vote you into public office with that campaign.

 

[Havok]

"Oh, another AR/BR fight, here's some tits instead!"

But do tits promote map movement?

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

So, how many sleeps?

Dani's coverage of Tom Morello brought me here.

Vote for me, get tits.

I don't know for sure, but that is around the time applied and started lurking I believe.

 

[Seance]

So this tourney that's underway. I know i probably can't sign up or anythung but if anyone needs a fill in message me. NZ Seance is my tag.

Wanna get involved in the halo community again, before halo4 drops.

 

[heckfu]

Vote for me, get tits.

A vote for Ram is a vote for tits.

Also, Ghaleon hops on, gets invite, doesn't play. Life isn't worth living anymore.

 

[daedalius]

Well that was a fascinating few pages to catch up on.

I lost at Warhammer tonight, fucking lucky jerk.

[Bregmann Roche]

I just didn't want to take the time to sign up. I think it was the Reach Beta thread that motivated me to become a part of the conversation since I felt like I could've contributed to that thread, and therefore the HaloGAF community, if I had an account at the time.

Obviously I've proven otherwise since then.

 

[Vire]

So, how many sleeps?

Room 6DE, San Diego Convention Center

Halo 4 marks the beginning of a new saga in the blockbuster franchise that has shaped entertainment history and defined a generation of gamers.

Don’t miss this opportunity to get hands-on with Halo 4, and stay tuned for more details as the event gets closer.

Although I'm probably more interested in the second panel since it has nothing to do with Karen Travis.

Camo being in was a mistake on my part, haha. Uploaded the wrong gametype. It's fixed though.

Meanwhile, at monsterfracas' place:

Fine, tournament resumes.

Also, do you jerks want to do different gametypes/maps for each round? I think mixing it up could be cool.

Not so much that, but that the bullets are moving the hog that much. After 2 games with this horrible mechanic, please stop.
