Ok im on H3 now gamer tag is Computer.
I tried to play online......got destroyed. People just rush every game and I'm not good enough to be able to counter them. I've beaten campaign a few times and play with friends every now and then, but matchmaking is full of pros.
Dammit, really wanna play some H3 aswell, but it's like almost 3am in England...
Dude, that is looking awesome... and not just because ODST is my fav Halo helmet.
I've been revisiting Halo 3 single player, and it makes me want to give multiplayer a another go as well, but
that's pretty much what I was afraid of. I was only ever decent at best in 3, and I certainly haven't gotten better by not playing it.
Crap, you're right. I totally wasn't paying attention.

Pretty sure he's talking about Halo Wars, lol.

It's not that bad.. you just have to have a decent teammate or scout, like any RTS. And like any RTS the more people the cheesier the play (1 scarab + all engineers, players going mass banshee/hawk, etc.)
The strategy guide they put out for it is actually really good.
Still getting destroyed playing through it legendary, though

I thought it also gives your radar height indication.

so now no more verticality to the radar unless you have the perk on? :/

I think height indication is always on, but I might be wrong.
LMAO, no but I wouldn't do that.

Yep. I am thinking so too. At least Bravo would have used it the whole time.
I mean, I've played both of those games in tournament settings before, and there is no reason Halo isn't on the same level.
So wtf.

That looks incredible! Can you send me a PMS with all the articles, youtube stuff, you have used for the helmet?
Just post it here. I've always been interested in the process behind this stuff, and I can't really follow the 405th (those guys are beyond pro.)
The massive skill gap in aiming alone makes halo pale in comparison, in my opinion at least.
The thing that quake and counterstrike lacked was a viable matchmaking system which could put people against each other. I tried to get into counterstrike 8 months ago but just couldn't stand having to join servers and not having the ability to play random people all the time.
Idk probably tried to get into counterstrike way late anyway. Everything I have been reading online about csgo all points to it being a watered down version of previous games. (this at least seems to be the consensus from the 1.6 crew) Then again I know very little about these communities so I could be dead wrong.
There are a lot more things to Quake, Counterstrike, and yes, even Halo than 'aiming' to make a successful team.
I'm pretty sure there are people on here that could consistently shit all over another decent player in a BR battle 9/10 times.
All of these games can be played at very high levels of competition, with significant stratification between what we'd call 'good' and 'pro'.

You may find the answer on the Halo 4 page on waypoint. I'd check it myself but I'm still on my phone. I wouldn't dare to enter that site on a phone.
Of course there is much more to playing an fps than just aiming. The thing is what would be harder? Getting a sniper headshot in counterstrike or a sniper headshot in halo? Granted halo can be played on the PC but the majority of users play the game on console, including myself.
Halo still has movement and map positioning but so does quake and counterstrike. One of the things that separates PC fps's compared to console fps's is just how much more precise a mouse can be.

I can be on in about 10 mins.
Nice! We'll be there.
Reach or 3?

That sounds amazing. I'll definitely have to keep my eye on this.
Oh, they're making a CE sequel?

Actually, you're right, the info is there.

About damn time.

Yea just saw that myself. Urk is so mean. I really really wish the reveal wasn't so far away.
Reach
Oh PAX isn't that far away. Just another month now...
I'll give it one game if you have room.

Heightened intel != height intel
I actually find getting headshots in Halo much more difficult than just about any PC game, because aiming with the mouse is, as you say, so much more precise. Therefore much less 'impressive' when they actually happen. Also, try playing halo 2 with a mouse; you'll get shit on by a competent player with a controller; strafe is terrible with input from WASD.
Headshots don't exist in any version of quake, either. However railing someone from across the field always DID feel pretty amazing.
So the precision of the mouse doesn't really do anything to make me want to watch those games more, the best pros in Halo don't miss sniper shots either. They are ultimately very different games, but I really don't agree with your argument that any of them are more or less competitive in certain circumstances.
I'd almost say the mouse being so precise is sometimes a detriment to some games now, as the designers are trying to make games more and more realistic in terms of damage models and realistic weapons, but then you're aiming and shooting with something that gives you laser-like precision.

Is Urk hinting at Destiny? Or..

Yes, I realize that, I just bolded that section because it describes was the perk does.
0 hype
I think you misspoke.
I know I did not.
I don't think PAX warrants a full, new IP reveal.
I was sort of hoping they'd give us something on Bungie day, but whatever. We'll see.

As much as I would love a PAX reveal, I'm not getting my hopes up. Right now I think January is more likely, if only because they keep saying "See you in 2013".
HaloGAF Radio mp3 is cooking now, I'll let you know once it's updated.
YouTube version will have to wait until tomorrow evening, that usually takes an hour or two to accomplish (since I have to render an 80 minute video first) and I'm heading to bed shortly.

Oh ok. Height info is standard on the motion tracker right?
