States/locations colored are where everyone is from - the lighter the blue, the more people there are

That was a great rundown.
2 hours away.
I was planning to go but the Rooster Teeth guys i wanted to meet for drinks after the event backed out. I would reconsider knowing Halo 4 will be playable but i am physically unable to wait in the 3-4 hour lines you see at these events. Having surgery to repair my hip November 12 so the longest i can stand is 15-20 minutes at a time.
Who does he think i am?

You can't stop firing the Plasma Launcher unless you switch weapon.
I do agree though. Probably reaction time.
I want to play this game.

You haven't played Lunch Halo before? Each Killing Spree is awarded with a sandwich, and a win = a pie.
Victoria, Australia.
Whatever it is, it needs more Australia.
We need a European map for HaloGaf!! (The European's have woken up!)

Secondly, good work on the podcast Tashi and co. Good listen as always.

I have a question for you guys, do you think it would better if Infinity Slayer and Team Slayer were in one playlist or in separate (like Team and Super Slayer)?
I know Frank said they are looking for a focussed set of playlists, wondering if keeping them in one playlist would be likely. If they were separate I can see Infinity being far more popular. (more toys etcc..)

343 hire this man, he also only thinks about America lolol.
Yesterday I got the Jackpot in Grifball, it is horrible, the whole gametype is shit, your killrange is dependant on who is host. And then even in this playlist, there are quitters and guys who only betray each others.
And some guys who only want to increase their K/D, this won't matter if they had Ranked and Social K/Ds like Halo 3.
Reach
I don't understand this comment. Elaborate?

The sword glitch maneuvers he performed in that were amazing. Speed-runners floor me with some of their tricks, like this one.

I just found that video yesterday, pretty funny that you bring it up today. :lol
Thread on Bungie.net.
There's a guy arguing that Halo 3 and Reach both look better than Halo 4... and I don't know how to react. On one hand I've seen videos of Halo 4 and some textures aside (Probably due to early build), it's much better looking than previous instalments, but on the other I'm looking at the screenshots in that thread and it doesn't look too good at all in comparison.
Anyone know what build those screenshots are from? I'm hoping they're old.

Remind yourself that you are browsing the Bungie.net forums, calmly close your browser tab, and return to civilisation.
The only thing Halo 3 has over Reach and possibly 4 is a greater HDR range, and that greater HDR range resulted in Halo 3's native HD res being 640p.
Reach has much higher detail models and textures on everything (Reach is finally using a signficant amount of 1024x textures from what I recall) and Halo 4 looks to be building on that signficantly. While I may not agree on certain artistic choices they've made, from a technical point of view there's no fucking way 3 looks better than 4. Or that Reach looks better than 4. Heck, ODST was running on the same engine Halo 3 did and it looked better than Halo 3.

Halo 4 definitely has more detail than Reach, but I also has the color pallet a cleanliness of Halo 3, maybe NOT AS bright and plasticky, but I felt Halo 3 went a little overboard in that regard.
Stylistically (weapon designs, armor, etc) there is an argument to be made. Originally I wasn't a fan of the new BR design, Promethean designs and some of the new armor, but overall I'm starting really like it. In fact I despised the early MC armor shots, but now his new armor is my favorite next the Halo 3 ODST armor.
And yes, I like the new Covenant designs.
I've gotten into watching some speed runs of old games on Twitch like SM64 and some Zeldas, but it never dawned on me to look up games that I've played and finished myself back in the days - just the things he pulls off in the beginning are things I've never even known existed - back then all I could remember were the grenade jumps, the bounces and sliding down corners of walls, wow.
Gonna go through this when I have the time.
The design is one of the reasons I don't like Reach, it just looks too cartoony, not like a Halo game.
Yeah, Grifball had none of that before. It was fantastic. I loved it.
Reach looks cartoony? It has a much less vibrant, seemingly subdued colour range, and generally a darker style overall compared to Halo 3 or any previous Halo game.

They separate arena and competitive KD which is technically separating ranked and social I suppose.
Reppin'
Yeah, I'm trying to avoid the subjective part of it, but really, they'd have to go out of their way to make it look worse. Then again, there were people that tried to say Halo 3 looked like Halo 2.
4 looks better than Reach. Destiny will look better than 4. 5 will look better than Destiny. Destiny 2 will look better than 5, etc. It's just a matter of devs getting more familiar with the hardware and the engines as time goes on.
For the first time in history we'll have two games in roughly the same genre that are competing with each other, both running on a variant of the Halo engine.
It's not the colours, it's the way everything is drawn, just seems too cartoony for my likings.
Cortana literally looked like a model they left on Oni's cutting room floor in Halo 1. Not sure what you're seeing, but Halo started off fairly anime/cartoonish.

I didn't really play the Halo campaigns, I still haven't got most of the H3 campaign achievements on my main account, I haven't even completed the game on Normal on my main...
where did I say that ? but it hadn't its own playlist

I know next to nothing about Destiny, but I'm as excited for it as I am Halo 4.
EDIT: BTW, Shatter OST is awesome.

Thanks, pretty awesome that its playable, I wonder if it will be a newer build?
I'd say it's probably the E3 build, but I don't care. I really just want to get my hands on it. And maybe they'll have the avatar chief codes.
I'm sure it is, same for PAX.

They won't show the E3 build at PAX. PAX is the second biggest and biggest consumer video game event in the USA. They will show a newer build. Definitely.

Yeah, I would expect a newer build at PAX.
Stability uber alles.
Hah, that was great.
