What? I thought we were talking about SvE Slayer... not generator defense. That's not even out yet... is it?

Sorry, I am going a little mental. I thought SvE meant Genny Defence. :lol
 
Team mate and I are lurking here

By the way, what time can we expect Generator Defence? 5pm GMT seems standard for updates? (about 17 hours away).



VVV That was cool.

Imagine a Firefight mode that let you play on teams, as in NT1. But instead of two teams of Spartans, one team of Spartans with the high ground and weapon advantages, and the other players got to play as Elites, alongside the rest of the Covenant waves attacking.

Or, play squad of Elites pinned down by and advancing swarm of Marines, dropped off via Pelican.

I have. [/irresponsible speculation]

Why are we using spoiler tags?

I'm curious to how Firefight will work, at least if we get the mode under your circumstances you noted here. Spartans vs. Elites with human control is basically Invasion. With different objectives in the area, of course - carrying a core to a zone or destroying the opponents zone (generators or something else). Definitely would expect at least six Spartans if we're going to fight against a bunch of AI controlled Elites and other Covenant. Maybe we'll get the Brutes here, as well...

I'm pulling for a flood cameo in firefight and firefight alone.

Or maybe the human rebel group. I just basically want to fight some human weapon opponents.

I can see Brutes some place in there, and we know they're in the game (at least from the art in the ViDocs and from the Hammer in MP).

Overlook looks fantastic, though, watching some videos on Youtube. Only 3v3, but should be fun for the time being.

An entire team of four just glitched and hid outside the map when the score was 23-24 in their favor with 6 minutes or so left on the clock.

Is it bad form to post their gamertags here?

Because IncognitoMaster, vStrubz, WherezPhantom and TardaciousOne sure are huge douches for doing this.

Mind uploading the Saved Film and linking me to the game?
 
Argh. Fuck randoms. Just lost 2 games in a row despite me doing decent ;_; In the 2nd game once we were behind by 8 (yes only 8) my teammates started betraying each other... guess they know the Beta is ending soon so they don't care anymore :S

If you make a little video of it or something I'll render it.

I appreciate it, but it's already past 3AM over here, so the earliest I'd be able to do that would be sometime tomorrow. Almost gonna hit the hay.

Not a glitch. That spot is fairly known and you don't glitch to get to it. All you have to do is jump down. As to the location it should be obvious (edge of the map near the wooden holds). More like a trick jump than a glitch.

Someone who was wise to them could have easily placed a sticky and sploded all 4 of them. There's no where to go but down once you get in that spot.

I got it. Don't worry 'bout it. Rest your weary head.

Edit: Ah, that old chestnut. Already fixed for release.

As requested. Haven't watched it myself so far, but according to my friend who was in the same game just outside the map near the red spawn.

Now with added picture!

HEY! I saw some people trying to do that. They keeped going to that spot in Powerhouse (is your pic in powerhouse?) and i was really confused as they kept falling off the map and commiting suicide. After seeing your story, maybe they were trying to do that aswell!

This was the game.

apparently I am way better at this game drunk than sober.

I don't think I had this much fun with the multiplayer in a game since, wow, Modern Warfare.

Your drunken stupor is likely compensating for the heavy use of reticle bloom and aim smoothing.
 
Trying to betray someone at the end of the game really makes you notice how much you need that aim assist :p

I wonder if there is is a podcast in the works. I want post-beta analysis damnit haha.
 
Finally got temp banned for quitting. It took awhile. :lol

I will however, continue to quit the game every time I am robbed of a DMR kill that I clearly earned or am screwed over by what is quite simply the worst melee system in all of creation.

It's my own little form of peaceful protest. :D
