So long as there aren't a hundred black screens for host switching I welcome it.
I understand where you are coming from, and DIDO is far from ideal, but it's become so standard that I feel Reach really suffers for not offering it. It comes with its own set of issues, but I think the trade-off is worth it.

- I would love for a crossbow type weapon, possibly a large spike that impales and incinerates the target?
- We have seen that the Promethean weapons keep their basic profile while not being held, so I don't think its that. My guess is still an SMG, its design reminds me a bit of the new BR.
-Agreed, I hope the sniper feels unique.. Not sure how, but I am sure there are multiple ways to do it.
-Agreed, but Im gonna bet it counts as new sadly.
As for melee weapons.. it seems Prometheans have em on their arms, so maybe we can get something like those from some of the knight classes. Another thing I always wanted to see were the energy spears that honor guards carried.
Looking good, when its finished I wanna buy one... gonna try any orange in the logo?
Been playing Rage over the past couple of days. Game looks pretty good, Bungie quality .. ground..box
Solid gunplay (as usual for id), the driving is put together.. but the stuff between levels is so boring it hurts. For some reason, even though ODST had the hub, it didn't feel like a constant fetch quest like Rage does. So much going back and forth though. "I need you to help me! GO THERE" *get there* "I DONT HAVE EVERYTHING, YOU NEED TO GO TO THE OTHER PLACE" Me: FUCK YOU CARMACK
I only played the demo, but I have to say it was a graphical beast.. so good looking. Phenomenal animations also, everything was very believable, fluid and lifelike. Gun play wasn't the best, but I still wouldn't mind trying the full game eventually.. But man, I really hope Halo can eventually give more dynamic and fluid animations for the enemies.

TDKR spoilers galore
The problem with Bane is not anything to do with the character himself, but his actions over the course of the film are honestly just not that interesting. The takeover/liberation/bomb all felt very generic. The Joker was an amazing centerpiece of the last film not only because he is fascinating to watch onscreen, but because of the actions he took and just how wide spread and continuous his actions were. He was always three steps again, and it pushed the three central characters that were working against him (Dent, Gordon, and Batman/Bruce) to the brink when they all had plenty to lose, and then lost lost plenty, including completely breaking the "White Knight". Those themes of the White Knight and the Dark Knight were tested to the maximum in that film, and they simply didn't exist in Rises. It's not really the character of Bane's fault, but those themes being absent from the film, with the incredible driving force of the Joker pushing them makes Rises a simple and straight-forward film in comparison with TDK.
That is a terribly written paragraph, but I'm literally falling asleep at the keyboard here so fuck it. I guess the TL;DR of that would be that there was a personal connection between the Joker and Dent, Gordon, and Batman. Their themes played off each other, and tested each other. That isn't in Rises. Also, anyone else very disappointed in the lack of Gordon in this film? One of the main characters of the first two, incredible arc in the second film I thought, and in the third one he's just kind of there.

Can't wait to be able to play Big Team that isn't 8v3 by the end of every game.
Yep, felt the same way about the overall plot. Dark Knight has more of an interconnected story that resonated well with all the major characters.
The League of Shadows plotline was still great though

thats pretty much how I felt. TKDR spoilers
Every thing that you can tell Nolan wanted to impact the viewer just fell flat and uninspired. Bane peaked in the stadium takeover, and I found most of his scenes boring (sound like the child of Sean Connery and Goldmember didnt help). In TDK every scene Joker is in is more sinister then anything Bane did outside of the stadium. The more I think about the movie the more I get disappointed, and I purposely didnt get hyped beforehand I only watched 1 trailer, didnt rewatch the other 2 movies ect ect. I also feel the plot was sloppy and a recut/rearrange would help the movie greatly. Then the personal pet peeves like being a recluse for 8 years then leaving for a necklace and jumping right back into what you left and then that disappointing ending...blah

When NeoGAF is ashes, you have my permission to die.
Nothing is better, then waking up with this.
I still have not given enough to GAF. I will not let it burn. Rise.

Downloading it now. Will listen this evening.
Are you in a competition with Gray Man for creepiest avatar?
I'd like to see a light grey version of that Halogaf shirt. Like this random army shirt I just googled: http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/310295857544?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&cbt=y
I feel the light grey is a better fit for a military-style logo.

Better than. I think I'm gonna stick with Halo 3 primarily until Halo 4 comes out. I enjoyed those games on 3 much more than the ones I played later on Reach.

I'll be on again this evening on 3, I'll save you a space if you're on.
Lately I haven't been getting off work until you're getting offline. If you're still on I definitely will, but otherwise I'll be making some diamond pantaloons in Minecraft.
Sorry if posted
Halo 4 jackals are best jackals.

The best kind of pantaloons.
Helllllll naw, I hate the Twitch Tv app for a number of reasons, first off it doesn't let you watch past streams, second the comments never load on streams, and third it always changes video quality so I'd be watching something then it'll jump back to 20 seconds ago.
Frusturating.
How is Drop In / Drop Out going to fix the quitting issue? If anything it will make quitting more acceptable and more prevalent. Hopefully 343 makes their matchmaking preferences strict enough and customizable enough to insure that you can choose to NEVER be put into a match that has already started.
Drop In / Drop Out would be fine for playlists that allow guests, but there needs to be a piece of Halo that doesn't allow it.
First that creepy video someone posted yesterday of that thing with a mask on attacking a guy Entry #18 or something which prevented me from sleeping, and even though I've seen that image of the girl multiple times, this time it was 10 times creepy.

Dang it, i was just about to order my HaloGAF shirt until i saw this.
If you answer this, you will be the smartest man/woman (i'm not sexist) in the world.
Burn that shit wit fire.
CHANGE AVATAR NOW, THIS IS CREEPY.
Actually burn this with fire.
Drop in drop out is terrible for most halo games
Big team battle / customs are fine
The problem with halo is that you don't join a game and stay with the game until you leave... Like PC shooters
They need to have casual work that way and competitive to be distinct matches

Agreed. (I think you're being serious here anyways, I can never tell.
)Quitting is one of the top things that prevents me from enjoying the games to their full potential. Yeah you'll still have quitting, but no more will you get into BTB and eventually have 2 versus 8. You'll get a bunch of new players and have a shot to win again.
Can't wait to drop into a losing team and carry them to victory.

For me, the jury is out on drop-in/drop-out. Potentially fantastic. I want to believe.
I like the new dinosaur enemies in Halo 4.
Strange how we haven't seen any jackals yet.

We haven't really heard specific playlist talk, probably won't until October.
question: this (^) possible in all playlists?
IIRC there are jackals in the E3 demo?
