Support NeoGAF

[SatansReverence]

•They initially started with the BR and DMR being 4 shot weapons, and but they were ultimately toned down along with the rest of the sandbox across the board to match the traditional pace of past games.

lol...

•ALL weapons no longer get knocked out of scope when you're shot at. Instead, your camera 'flinches' while in scope, and this depends on the weapon you are using. The stability mod just controls how bad your camera shakes while you're being shot at.

And lol...

As for Mechs, bring 'em on. They do suit Halo just fine. Someone needs to find that film clip where a spartan got gigantised in Reach on The Cage/Uncaged.

Vahalla? Why? Don't Containment, Waterworks, Relic and Terminal exist in 343s eyes?

"Flood" don't even look like Flood.

Enough with the campaign spoilers 343. Amazing moments are just as spoiler as Story moments. Could never unsee Scarab fights in Halo 3

 

[DeadNames]

Speaking of age, who's the youngest person on HaloGAF?

Turning 22 on november 25th.

Funny to think i joined bnet two days after turning 14, two days after getting Halo 2 for my birthday....


Good times.

 

[DeadNames]

I doubt that will end well

lol I'm just wondering

i hope i dont sound too creepy

 

[RebornYeti]

Nope, after you turn 21, birthdays just mean you're getting older.

Heckfu is getting older.

I still get excited for my birthdays and I'll be 24 this year lol.

Well this year might not be great because it might be the end of the world (Dec. 21).

[nillapuddin]

not a creepster thing, its just that age discrimination on the younger age of the spectrum can go south quickly, besides, the ancients get enough of it on the top end

Spoiler

im very interested in the ages though, I bet the median is 24

 

[SatansReverence]

calm down Junior. Its gonna be ok.

lol caring about membership titles.

Why don't we go post on bnet so I can laugh at you with my Mythic?

I'm sure I'd be the one receiving the discrimination

 

[PNut]

So much new info today! Biggest news of the day for me is that halo.xbox.com is working like a normal website (Holy shit!) and Valhalla is the remake.

Edit- I didn't see any word on Arena v2 in bulletin. There's still plenty of time left I guess?

 

[The P of Poland]

Speaking of age, who's the youngest person on HaloGAF?

Turned 19 September 13th...

 

[willow ve]

Well, OddOne, you're off the hook. Here's a breakdown of the Sparkast (thanks Goat):

Thanks for the info. All of these bullet points sound great.

 

[Bregmann Roche]

Great news today. I'll second whoever said "343 spoiled us today". So much good info. That Zunecast was top shelf, but can we maybe get a Kickstarter going for an Ellis laptop that works?

 

[op_ivy]

Congratulations.

 

[Pop]

Didn't Talents say he was 16 earlier, if I recall right. Well it isn't me seeing as I just turned 24 this year.

Speaking of ranks, I believe it could work great if it was something like Starcraft 2.

 

[Tashi]

Just watched the Promethean Weaponry trailer direct feed version. Headphones turned up. Fucking unreal. Oh god I can't wait to play this fuckin game. That trailer is so well done. Glad they went back to Nemesis, song is amazing.

 

[Sai-kun]

I remember when Dax was the baby of the group. Ah, memories.

I think that was Skee's remix of Revival.

 

[senador]

I did the age thing once here and got the average. I'll have to dig it up. It was before most of you newer people were here though, you children would probably pull it way down.

Edit: Average age was 24 out of 55 people. I don't know the timeframe but it was pre-Franklin brothers.

So much bitching about Halo 4 on Bungie,net... (Including comments about how improved lighting in Forge ruins it............................)

I wanna say NFP7 (or however you spell his name lol) said he's in tenth grade...

Let's just say I'm among the lower tier of gaf

 

[Fotos]

So are there anymore leaked photos of Ragnarok?

Yes. But I have been playing Halo since 2001

I asked Jess but it did sound like there were 2 songs. It changes during the Bolt Shot charge up. The 2nd half is Nemesis, like in the UNSC Weaponry video.

 

[Tawpgun]

Thought I was among the youngest (20 in December) but apparently GAF lets 13 year olds in nowadays. Could have sworn it was 18+ when I registered.

This isn't said nearly enough, Starcraft 2's system in my eyes is something divine.

How are 2v2's handled in that ranking system if at all?

Don't worry about it, dude.

I'm in the same boat as you

You're right. The first half is definitely Revival though.

 

[Tashi]

You're right. The first half is definitely Revival though.

Is that the one? I'm not too keen on anything other than Nemesis. Revival remix sounded badass though.

When I start up my weekly montages again for Halo 4, every week's song is going to be Nemesis lol

I'm dying. I keep saying 'no no, don't quote that. Leave it alone'
then something completely mindfuck is posted and i'm like

Depends when you started playing Halo.

Kidding... I can't imagine the stupid shit I would've been posting at that age if I was on here. Hell I still post like an asshat a lot of the time. Good on the youngins not showing their age.

Camping on top of Auto Turret will be fun.

 

[RebornYeti]

Awesome man, congrats.

Just be sure not to combine his/her Christmas presents with their Birthday presents lol. My parents thought it was clever until I got smart enough to know it was all just a cheap trick!

Good thing I was born on December 14th. I was supposed to be born on Christmas day. Its just the perfect amount of days to get two sets of gifts

Wait until you get to college. You will get neither Christmas nor birthday presents.

-words, yo.-

Finally reached that member huh ;]

Camping on top of a base turret in Dominion while standing next to your Auto Sentry while shooting a dismounted turret.

Are 2v2 ranks counted individually or in pairs?
Each arranged team has its own score and rank.

No one has ever lied about their age on the internet.

Being in college is all the gift you need.

I'm 32 (in December) and finishing college up right now. It's a shame I didn't experience this when I was younger.

Camping on top of Auto Turret will be fun.

I'm gonna use the sentry AA on dominion while camping with a sniper rifle right next to a base turret.

Who's with me?

 

[Tawpgun]

No one has ever lied about their age on the internet.

Yeah but the paid email is a helpful gate.

I wonder if the "Infected" callout is doctored or not in this trailer

You mean part of the wub? Doesn't sound very Gravemindy so it doesn't feel like part of Flood mode.

yeah, it doesnt sound that gravemindy

but itd be cool if there was a floody voice for zombie callouts

[Fuchsdh]

Indubitably.

I really like the Forerunner sounds a lot more than the Covenant ones. Partly it's because the Covenant weapons don't sound much like their forebears, and partly because the Forerunner ones really do feel much less like treated real guns and more like something invented from nothing. Boltshot sounds slightly too wet, though, and repeaters just dont sound forerunnery at all. Wish there were more beam effects and sounds to go with previous Halos, and to further differentiate them.

EDIT: That pic of the rifle reminds me of my single biggest issue with the revamped Forerunner look. The less shiny, more matte finish to the metals starts feeling a bit too much like human default gunmetal grey. Most of the human weapons don't look that way, ironically, but the Forerunners using a "generic" finish that we have today feels off.
