Support NeoGAF

[Slightly Live]

So wait, HaloGAF went through HBO folks, Waypoint Forum folks and now we're getting folks banned from the Xbox forums?

Bring back Merguson. And Nutter. And Numbers. And that nice gay dude.

 

[Karl2177]

How you guys manage to navigate Waypoint enough to get banned baffles me.

SWAT Potato on Cragmire. Hold onto your butts.

Cragmire to be first Forgeland Remake made in Halo 4.

This one's for Heckfu.

This was the guy who thought a shotgun might do damage across the width of Countdown.

I know I'm shooting like shit here (I was nervous, because I was completely without shields), but this guy showed me that no matter how badly I play, there will ALWAYS be people playing worse.

GG, Heck. ☺

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

I don't understand the reasoning behind a ban that lasts for that long.

I got banned because I was promoting an AATC site (Making fun of an ATC site that a forum user named Bogey was using). I got banned along with some other forum members (Ghost, Drag, Fire Wolf). And only for promoting that site in a couple of posts. And the funny thing is Drag and some other people got unbanned.

edit: This happened back in 07 on the xbox.com forums.

I was banned years ago too lol - How the heck did they get unbanned?? I actually tried messaging some mods and stuff about it.

Spec Ops: The Line is better than anticipated.

That's awesome news! Maybe I'll check it out cuz I was really interested when it was first announced.. The MP reveal seemed kind of dull to me at which point I lost interest.

How you guys manage to navigate Waypoint enough to get banned baffles me.

I'm glad they separated their forums with Xbox.com even though they use the same login (like Bungie did).

Hahaha, I wish you could've captured my laughter. I was doubled over that entire segment, but we both had good games tonight!

Is that long range? RIP Halo shotgun, there was only one good one, and it was in CE.

Where's that dev quote that says the pistol is on par with the DMR? Cause that's total bullshit.

 

[SatansReverence]

In Halo3? It is, it's just a lot harder to use.

Oops, just realised you said DMR.

It only seems weaker because of terrible the bloom mechanics are.

Are you ever going to answer that PM?

 

[NobleGundam]

This may sound odd, but would it hurt the vibe of Spartan Ops if it had soundtracks from the campaign (or seperate tracks for SpOps) being played differently in specific chapters per operation?

They did get some dumb teammates though and it's still fun to watch. The good ole' days and all.

Had to nerf it cause it was good and fun to use.

Playing 8v2 right now. JOIN IN PROGRESS CANNOT COME ANY FASTER.

hey homies anyone wanna play some halo?

 

[heckfu]

Good games guys, I remembered why I love BTB Boneyard so much...always down to the wire!

 

[Bregmann Roche]

Gooooooood Games headlessbody!

Some tremendous learning experiences today!

At this point I'm just playing Reach to further lower my own personal bar for Halo 4. Congratulations 343: I haven't even played it yet and it's already a 95 on Bregacritic.

 

[daedalius]

Hey guys, I made this picture of... noble team fighting... uh, the flood!

Yeah.

Carter looks so heroic! And big! Maybe he got upgraded to a Spartan II...

 

[YourExWife]

Good night to the lovely HaloGaffers that stopped by to watch the Super Meat Boy stream tonight. I actually had lots of fun and it was fun chatting with those of you that stopped by!

 

[Ryaaan14]

Where's that dev quote that says the pistol is on par with the DMR? Cause that's total bullshit.

I can't find the source, but it was certainly stated by Bungie (in a BWU I believe) that the DMR and Magnum used the same rounds.

Great video comparison

 

[Fracas]

Pistol is not much weaker overall than the DMR, and is sometimes the better weapon to have.

Come at me, bros.

 

[Omni]

It has the same damage output. Not sure where that quote is, however.

Kind of hard to argue that X weapon in sometimes better than Y.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Pistol is not much weaker overall than the DMR, and is sometimes the better weapon to have in the public beta build.

True enough.

 

[Barrow Roll]

I saw the one where she was answering fan questions.

She is genuinely very funny and witty.

Unlike 99 percent of the Internet.

Just watched it and I totally agree. She's pretty damn funny. Makes me wonder if she was entering the Justin Bieber contest ironically, because if she wasn't then she can't be my waifu.

True enough.

What exactly made it so much better? Tighter spread? I hated using the pistol in the beta because of the super light reticule.

True enough.

Inside the pistol's usable range, it's just as good as a DMR, if not better. Faster RoF, same amount of damage. Pace your shots, it beats just about anything in CQB. A very versatile weapon.

Only thing I'd change is the magazine size. 12-15 rounds would be better. Still, that thing kicks some serious ass.

edit: dammit plywood, it is a good weapon

Much much tighter spread, significantly less bloom, faster rate of fire, and I assume other technical aspects of the weapon alongside tighter spread made it a much more reliable weapon.

It should be a good weapon, it was in the beta, but it was nerfed to hell and back. While other weapons like the AR because bullet magnetism machines, the Magnum became a very unreliable weapon. At points in development it was a good weapon (even with its mind bottling 8 rounds per clip), but they decided that fun was no good.

Faster ROF, really? Did Bungie ever release an official change list from public Beta -> Gold?
