Why don't they love us?
I could make a joke about touching yourself at night, but I wont because I legitimately want to know why it won't be streamed and why a lot of panels they have been doing lately haven't been streamed.
If its on saturday than why are people saying we are going to get news today?

Because the new map and CTF are on the floor to be played.
The game will be playable today, and it's a new build, so hopefully there will be something new to talk about from it.

Hopefully, if not I hope they at least put the BTS they are going to show up immediately after the panel.

When the time comes, I hope 343 releases a video like this Borderlands 2 explanation video before Halo 4's launch. It clarifies so much, such as the splitscreen online feature. So good.

He's about as entertaining as having a glass rod shoved up your pee-hole and subsequently shattered with a hammer.He grows on you
Dat flag assassination...
I feel like Walshy didn't know that we'd already known that there's a progression (1 to 50 levels) followed by the Specialization extra 10 levels, because the lady he mentioned just said something like "level up."
Yep:

im still hoping you lose credits when losing games/quiting.
Win - Gain 1000 points
Lose - Lose 750
Quit - Lose 1000 Points
or something, that way people can level down.
Reach has trueskill. lol

I think 750 is a bit much.

Reach used TruSkill.

Its just an extremely basic idea. It could be elaborated upon based on skill difference/final score/medals earned or something. So if you lose 49-50 you only lose 100 points. Lost 22-50? You lose 500 credits.
I just prefer the idea that if you lose you ACTUALLY lose something. Not "WELL U TRIED HERES 30,000 CR JACKPOT CUZ U DONT QUIT LOL!!!"
It's an incentive to win. Incentive to cap the flag in CTF to level up. Incentive to play better. Incentive to strategize with your team to win, because it means something. IMO 343 should use the elo system, for 1-50 in ranked, and have a military rank for social. I feel as if sometimes 343 forgets this is the sequel to Halo 3, not Reach.

Newsflash, Reach has it, even if it works poorly. Halo 4 will more than likely have it too.
Derp.

Probably final. Maybe slightly off.
I completely forgot about the sentry. I wonder if they did the auto sentry as TF2 (sorry to reference it so much, just got really into the game). In TF2 you can get decent kills if you place it well, but it can be easily destroyed. The problem however is when there are multiple sentries, even in TF2 it can get frustrating.

So you're saying Reach's truskill wasn't as pretty as Halo 2/3s?
Hmm, interesting.
derp
There's no way of knowing if it's hidden.
You've never heard that figure of speech before?

Well Truskill doesn't tend to be needed in a progression system. 1-50 in Halo 3 is different to the one MW2 had. Halo 3's system was not a progression system. It wasn't designed so people could start at 1, get to 50, then buy a new account and start over. It was designed to give players and accurate skill level and subsequently use that skill level to match with players of similarly determined skill levels. Rank locking was supposed to happens as players played the game for many years.

I have, you're not using the correct word champ.

So this PAX thing starts in a few hours.
I heard Larscup was a smashing succes.
But you knew what I meant right, and so you can agree it was entirely unnecessary to point out?

More pictures of drunken craziness please. Also, of Wu crushing people.

Is it optional? Like can you still only hold the flag and smash people with it?

There will be a lot of funny videos about the LarsCup and the party at rukizzel's place this weekend.
Oh I won. The chocolate is all at Rukizzel's place. The other candy is in barrow's room.
Wow, thanks chums! I can't believe the mistakes I make, I'm going to post here 10x as much to make things right!
I welcome the addition - with the fact that the pistol has been nerfed. If it was Halo CE pistol then no, I would hate that addition.
