The problem I have with jetpacks is that the only real counter to jetpack is using the jetpack. You can design a level all you want with the jetpack in mind, but there will still be spots and routes (usually advantageous) that are only accessible to jetpacking players. You can't cover every top floor and every roof of every structure with a soft kill zone (and the argument could be made those shouldn't exist in multiplayer anyway).
The last thing I want is to get into a game, die twice, then realize "oh, damn, the only counter to this team of jetpackers is to equip a jetpack." This happens in Reach right now with jetpack and it was a plague when armor lock was more prevalent in gametypes.
I still think jetpack should be a double jump during which you cannot fire a weapon or throw grenades, but I realize pandora's box has been opened already

Charged "jumpjets" akin to Gotham City Impostors' spring boots.
Hold button to charge jumpjets, release and fly to a maximum height of say, I dunno, ~20-30 feet. Have a cooldown timer start when the button is released, and there you go. It'd be like a vertical version of the Thruster Packs already in Halo 4. It lets you cover distance, escape situations, change up the fight to potentially give you an upper hand, AND you can change between different levels of the map.

I've ordered from there several times and I know many other people who have. It takes less than 1 week to ship to NZ (I know the UK and NZ have a really good shipping deal so I dunno about to Aus, but it shouldn't be longer than 10 days, 2 weeks max).
I have friends who swear by that place if that's the sort of anecdotal advice you were looking for
Oh okay. Sounds good. Thanks guys!
Not that surprising. If you're new to first person shooters, Reach was a solid choice... Fun even (People I know that just got into console shooters love Reach ). It just doesn't really work as a Halo game for the veterans of the series, IMO.

My Rays have scored 43 runs in 4 games. After hitting like a group of amputee kids in a batting cage for most of the season. If they'd been doing this shit all along, they'd be leading the division like they should be with our pitching staff, which was crafted by Jesus himself.
I think we're like 3.5 back of the wild card, but I just don't think there's enough time left. Although, it could be worse, I could be a Boston fan *shudder*
EDIT: congrats on the clinch, btw.

Yeah, it's sad, really. I'd legitimately consider saving up a bit for one if they wouldn't be such a hassle to take care of. Caring for them isn't the thing, I just couldn't bring myself to try and raise one knowing it'd have a really short lifespan compared to other regular breeds.
I dont think its weird : /
faces removed for stalker purposes
I died at this :lol I was totally thinking you had your faces like that on your actual profile at first.
Also, just saw this in the LTTP: Reach thread...

It's always good when someone makes it easy on you in choosing which opinions to tune out in the future. <3

This. All day. So happy.
I'm not sure how GAF is going to digest this, but I can understand why some might think that Halo 2 has the weakest campaign.
1) Dat ending.
2) Levels weren't exactly the best designed in a game...
3) Arbiter levels were a bit distracting, IMO. Great story but they really were a chore to do.
4) Game was marketed as 'defending Earth' or something, and yet we left after three levels...
5) Dat ending.
6) Felt rushed and incomplete (which it was).
7) Quite linear.
8) Dat ending.
Don't get me wrong, I love Halo 2 - It's probably my favourite Halo game out yet, but it's a bit naive to assume that it was perfect and that anyone who disagrees should be 'tuned out'
I don't think many people will have as big a problem as you criticizing campaign as they would multiplayer and customs.

I feel like I'm the only person in the world who LIKED the Halo 2 ending. It made me so excited to find out what would happen next.
I don't like to wait years for a To Be Continued. It's okay for Pokemon though since you only have to wait 24 hours.

I liked the arbiter levels more than MC's, it were more harder and dont giving you a single time to rest and plan your attack

Edit: Apparently this isnt a glitch that happens in the actual game:
It is now less amusing to me. Ah well.
It's not a glitch. I was just poking around with paint.
:>

Saw this image gaming side talking about how good Lasky looks:
Then I noticed the guy in the back:
First thing I noticed was his magic beard. Then I noticed this:
He looks so happy.
I was just sitting outside, and the frat house next door has a party. The music was incredibly loud and I was getting frustrated because his/her transitions were awful, but the drunk people were going crazy because "THIS IS MY SONG".

Hilarious. Is that a Heckfu cameo? Insta-beard.
What's been pointed out in the green circles in the picture there? Shadows/lighting?

Yeah, pointing out the lighting. From this thread:

that's the real world. One person succeeding means someone else failed.
Real life isn't full of care bears sharing and loving.
OT: Everyone go see Dredd. Tight, superbly executed action film with no fat whatsoever. Lead speaks as little as possible, is stoic, does not remove helmet. Reminded me a bit of how the Chief's character is portrayed. Yes I realize Dredd came first; just noting the similarity and how well executed that kind of lead can be.
It's bombing. Go make it bomb less. Seriously.

planning on going to watch it first thing the morning.
how as the 3d or would you recommend just the standard version?
one time i spent a whole date at a bar just kind of analyzing the dj who was playing (i was better tbqh). he *my date) wasn't super into music. needless to say there wasn't a second date.
See the 3D, it's very well done. It's mostly subtle throughout, but it's applied heavily to certain shots in a very deliberate way that works. You'll know which ones, and what I mean, if you see it that way. The use of 3D is actually tied to both the style and story in the film.

cool cool, thanks.
That man is more robotic than anything in Halo 4.
Let's talk aliasing! Something I noticed...
Both images are of the exact same thing, and yet the top has loads more aliasing.
After seeing all those 'in-game' screenshots, this is disappointing, IMO. It looks like a step back from Halo Reach... Although not as bad as Halo 3.

Even the top image looks miles better than anything in Reach.
I had to drop some truth bombs in that thread. Now I just have to wait for my own Dax handjob.
I think the dialogue could have been better for every character besides Dredd. His one-liners aren't balanced with the narrative.

Um as far as I know they only released one version of that image, was this fake aliased by downsizing it in paint or something? lol.Let's talk aliasing! Something I noticed...

Exactly what i was thinking.
Honestly? I don't know. Someone linked it the other day and I saved it.
The previous shots of that were downsampled from 2560x1440 tiled shots.
I never had any issues with the dialogue, it all worked for me. Very utilitarian, but fitting. can't think of any moments that didn't work. I'll be seeing it a second time, though, so I'll focus on that a bit more. But from end to end, I was sucked into the moment throughout, and the dialogue got the job done.
you're a dialogue
No, I'm asleep. Or should be. Fuck.
Guys I've been thinking about getting this plus the controller at launch, good idea or no?
Spend the extra money on the wireless.
