Dumb question, but why is the rating of Halo 4 done when the game isn't completed yet?
I don't think it really is rated yet. They probably just assume it will be M for mature... everywhere else that has an ESRB rating shows it as RP (rating pending)
Joining an existing lobby is fine by me and makes perfect sense... I do not like joining a game already in progress as it's an uneven playing field. I also don't think my game experience is significantly better when an endless supply of sheep are filtered in for the slaughter.
Sure I've giggled myself to tears while slapping a MOAB on the third set of kids that just joined while doing nothing but quick scoping... but it's all so mindless and boring in the end and just prolongs the inevitable.

Wow, I had no idea this existed in Waypoint. Lmao
Probably because that's what all the Halo games are rated and they assume this will be too. Or the ESRB have played it already.

If Master Chief is like Batman, will we ever get a Master Chief Begins movie?
Re-watching Batman Begins. It's awesome.

Way to be a jerk.
About this and filling bars
Yer mom jerked my...
never mind.
You playing Halo tonight?
I dunno, it sounds like it might be kinda dull. But maybe it's a Full Metal Jacket kind of movie. Sadly Halsey survives her Pyle moment.
IMO Halo is mis-rated at M. The content is not out of line with what's in the original Star Wars, for example - though I guess Han stopped at damn and hell, and never crossed the line over to saying bastard! Though at the end of the day an M rating is probably a better marketing angle in the current climate.
Yeah... that's not gonna happen.
um... what?
You realize it's way older than you, right?
Showed up here on GAF, with respect to Halo, back in February, for example.
Showed up in videogames in general years ago.
If it's new to you, though - nice work.

Come on, Michael Caine as Sergeant Mendez.
"Why do we fall, Master Chief? So we can learn to shootbang stuff."
EDIT: Never even realized I was quoting Beckx. When did you join GAF, bro?
We're almost the same age and you're going to make mom jokes like that? Wow.
Also, doubt it; wife is off till Thursday and I have some contract work I really should finish up. I need another xbox to run next to my computer for when I am sitting up there... maybe I'll steal my dads since he has used it a grand total of like twice in years.
slow news day is slow.

That song is forever the chorus of Stan for me, therefore someone should do this, but with Frankie.
I'm shameless... tell yer wife to read a book tonight, and that I said so. I'm sure that will work.
Anyone miss Proximity chat? Party chat has ruined so many thing
Yup. I love party chat, but certain games took good advantage of in-game chat.

Halo 4 will feature a variety of weapons, including a mixtable during the finale sequence. Johnson will finally find love, but only the Chief can make their wedding happen.
No way, R. Lee Ermey or a reasonable facsimile.
I managed to sneak in last week, someone left the door open.
Yeah... that's not gonna happen.

How much reset are we talking here? I don't want to regrind. I've thought of systems that would work, but they are all prone to the derank. Hell, even SC2 is easily derank-able. I went from gold to bronze in 2 days.too late ?
Oh the whole rank discussion is too much for me. I think someone already presented the best designs : the starcraft 2 system or a mixture of 1-50 and arena.. Your 1-50 rank resets after a season, a season = 4 months or something like this.

-crouching into Zanzibar base with the bomb-
"Yo guys I'm crouching in the right entrance waiting for you guys to get here with the bomb!" The other team hears this and goes to check it out.
-sneaking around left doorway while team is distracted on the right-
-arming bomb while enemies come back-
"HAHA! IT'S TOO LATE BITCHES!"
-boom goes the dynamite-

^Proximity chat was great, but man I never use my mic with randoms anymore.. Its too bad how much party chat really did change the dynamics of communication in online games.
eh, I disagree, large eyes do not have to look cartoony by any means. I'm not saying the eyes should emulate 1:1 the original Jackal eyes, but rather the large, creepy alien/avian eyes is a staple of the Jackal design and I think it is unfortunate to see it go. Its what helps it stand out from more typical 'monsters' in a lot of ways as well, I learned that when attempting to draw one.
Im fine with re-designs, but in this case I really wish they would have kept true to a few more features.
Hm, are they allowed to put a rating on a page before its officially rated? If not, I assume they already submitted a build to be rated. Kinda crazy that the game is in the final stretch. Also, it makes me sad knowing that no matter what we say about the Jackals eyes, the won't change. =P

I posted in the Tourney thread this morning, asking Trey when his team might be ready for the next match - no answer yet. I'm hoping it happens soon; there are 4 games left, total (one more semi, two finals, and one championship), and I leave the country for 2 weeks starting next Wednesday. Would be really nice to have the whole shebang finished before then.
Thankee sir, glad to be here. You planning on being online in the mornings again when H4 is out? Spartan Ops, baby!
No kidding. I thought things like Chromehounds did would be the future, but party chat killed it. I suppose it's all for the greater good.
Oh, I bet that can get awkward. "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?" "No - it just popped up there - I mean - "

Party chat stole a huge amount of enjoyment from online MP games. Makes me miss the old PC days of text chat (Quake family of games).

In the year 2500, Google has mastered Long-range scanners to map every destination in our Galaxy. They will call it, Google Space Maps or Google Interstellar Maps.
Yup. I don't think it was changed. Also, with it going gold in less than 2 months, I would imagine it's content complete. Could be wrong though.

Strongly disagree.
I think proximity chat should be brought back though on top of what we already have.. Maybe they found that there was a bandwidth problem with proximity chat, especially in larger games?

Nooooooooooooooo.
I'd rather not be forced to talk to the party of 5 13 year olds screaming when I pick up a sniper.
The only time I'm not in party chat is when I am playing with Gaf.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of party chat. I like coordinating with randoms in competitive games, and making dumb jokes with them in BTB.
Then mute them.
I think the only way for a game now to stop party chat is what Dark Souls did, kick you to the dashboard if you start party chat. Something that's hardly ideal.

Depends on my class schedule and/or other obligations. Last year I was in university and had hardly no lessons and barely anything to do during the mornings. This year I went to college, had a lot more hours and stuff to do, assignments, the (ex) girlfriend, etcetera. :lol
I'll definitely try and get some more games in when Halo 4 rolls around. But I'm done with Reach.

We still have Sword Base in 2012...I wouldn't count on regular space travel til at least 3012.
Unfortunately people like you won out.
I miss talking with new people every game. I thought the 13 year olds and trash talking are hilarious. For some reason too many people are too sensitive with that stuff

Another wolf eaten? Say it ain't so lol. Xeno... I am disappoint son.
I have a vacation coming up August 7th that will take me out of the picture of roughly a week as well. Sure would be nice to wrap games up soon!
Edit:
Why does Waypoint suck like one of those fish that cleans tanks? Having the portal to a top tier franchise be so bad... Dusty Rhodes says it's SHAMEFUL!

I'll be back saturday so if the tourney isn't over then for you guys, I'd love to rejoin the team.

Why not just use party chat? I don't really care to talk to anyone on there that I'm not playing with directly.
It's not like you were kicked off...
