So..what should I do for vehicle kills in FF? It seems like they don't get dropped off on Beachhead anymore in Sniperfight, and waiting around for one banshee every round on Holdout sucks. :\
I hear ya, lately I've been playing a lot more because I've been playing with groups, which allow us to just stomp the competition.Ramirez said:
That's also another reason, I don't have another game, maybe I'll grab MAH-VEL BAYBEE, but we'll see, I'm at best only competent in fighting games. But we should play some time I'll add you if you don't mind.Nutter said:
The ample joys of the refreshed Firefight playlists are enough to make me almost forget about the Paradiso glassing we took the other night. I'm finding a ratio of about 1:8 MP to Firefight is about right for me. Multiplayer can be circumstantially fun, but most nights it has me raging after one or two games. A game of Score Attack or Arcade to cleanse the palette, and I'm ready for some survival (of the idiot team mates).
Knocked off the vehicle Challenge today largely by toasting Ghosts on Overlook, and a couple of Wraiths on Beachhead. Didn't take as long as I thought it would.

Our teleport destruction match from the other night might have already been posted, but here it is again because it's awesome.

Yep, you're the only one.
(With smaller totals, you're right, we get 10cR per kill... but 400's ALWAYS been 2000cR.)
I'd call 'em Lemmings, but I just learned recently that the whole "Lemmings follow each other over cliffs" was a misconception.Cocopjojo said:

Haha that was brilliant, perfect music + video combo.
I should have known, but the amount Dax praised New Venice made me want to try it out, I just got a game, and don't see what's so special? Its thematically very nice, but the combat on it is pretty stuttery, with everyone sort of hanging around the lift bit inside the building. (Maybe the AR starts ruined it for me)

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
I played FF for the first time since ODST.... Arcade is boss. I will definitely play it more often.

Bungie is aware of this issue and a fix is in private testing first, expect word on fix next month.
I need more clips for the montage

I'm kinda done with Reach. The new playlist changes are fun, but I can't really get into it anymore. Then again, I can't really get into any game anymore. I loaded up Halo 2 again today, just to see how much has changed. I can't believe the game got so much hate back in the day. Well, except for the jackal snipers.

Clutch Flag Stop
Got a pretty clutch flag stop for the win in MLG yesterday. Pretty funny too.
Sorry for the shitty quality, I would clip them and capture them with Windows Movie Maker in twice the resolution but Movie Maker crashes EVERY SINGLE TIME after like 15 seconds. I have to then restart my PC because it refuses to shut down nicely. It's really annoying, I've never had this problem. It started after I reinstalled Windows last fall. Are there any free capture programs out there that anyone knows about? I'm running XP btw.

Most of the new community maps do.
I don't mind it on the existing maps, where I know all the DMR spawns, but learning these new maps without a DMR is like sticking a needle in my eye sometimes. It doesn't help that half of the maps are so open.

VirtualDub is free. That quality is crap though, where the fuck did you get such a shitty card from?
PS You should fileshare some good stuff for the montage there's hardly any MLG stuff yet.
xxjuicesxx said:
I'll check it out, thanks. And yea, I'm not sure where I got this piece of shit from
I wish I had a better PC because then I could stream at like 640x480 and not only would it run smoothly but clips I take from it would look good too for my Youtube. :/ One day.Devin Olsen

I don't know how much more official this is, but it looks like the Halo 1 re-make is for sure happening now.

That's the same article we saw a week ago, though.Devin Olsen said:
I love FF Arcade, more specifically Fistfight. I've been playing FF alot more than when the old playlist was around.
You would have thought lars would have learned from Sniper Attack to DISABLE weapon pick up, but I guess not. I'll play Arcade more when they change it. :/
There isn't one link in there regarding an official Announcement from 343i/Microsoft/Saber. This is still classified as a rumor right?

So why exactly is there a Pistol in Snipers?
No need to answer, I guess for the same reason there's drop shields in Objective... Shishka'd!

Well excuse my ignorance, lol... I never looked at the article that was released last week. From what I read it sounded more speculation than this one.Blue Ninja said:

it's still hard speculation, unless you want to put a lot of faith in anonymous sources. which actually, i tend to do. if a blog has faith in a source, it's usually for a good reason. blogs will typically call out a source if they feel it's not reliable, and very clearly state "this is a rumor, take with a grain of salt" etc.

Whats your GT? I wouldn't mind joining you for a bit on CoD. Its definatly a lot more fun when you have good team-mates, with my friends we can literally subdue the enemy and they never get air support, but with randoms it can be a little annoying when everyone on your team goes heavy negative.
With Reach the only mode I really enjoy is Firefight, which is pretty annoying considering im more of a player vs player kind of guy and while the Halo AI is good, after a while you don't really see anything new or interesting.
Running 4's in MLG and even 3's has restored my love for Halo. I still get dicked here and there just like every Halo but I'm having a lot of fun. The most frustrating thing is that my controller is on the brink and sometimes I can't run full speed, sprint, jump, switch weapons or grenades. I also have slow turn. I won't get a new one until it's completely broken though lol.kylej said:

Isn't that partially because of their deal with Mad Catz?Tashi0106 said:
When I go into MP, I feel like the game if fighting against me. There are these barriers put up on each layer of the combat that prevent it from flowing right.CrazedArabMan said:
But when I hop in Firefight and Campaign, the same mechanics work just fine. It feels good to pace shots with the DMR and land headshot strings, movement speed (augmented with Sprint) feel just right, melee isn't so much of a whiff-fest, etc. It's a schism for me; the game is just a joy in Firefight, and incredibly frustrating in MP. Which is why I'm so glad Reach has Firefight. The MP went in a direction I just can't get into, though I keep trying.

Yeah, that's an echo of my post, the thing is though after a while I get bored of fighting AI, when I think of multiplayer I think of Halo, so its a shame Reach missed the mark here.
Letters you mind if I join you when your on Halo 3? I still love that game, but cant find the motivation to jump on it when alone, matchmaking times are aweful and teammates who derank is never fun.

Agreed, FF and Campaign seem to work well with the changes, but the MP does not flow the same and DMR battles just turn into who can spam the trigger the most and get the lucky bloom head shot.
It's kinda like they took the golden tripod of weapons-grenades-melee and made it "bloom-hand nukes-shield pop" with a helping of AA's on top. I mean the original golden tripod is pretty much non-existent in Reach as every one of the aspects that was a part of it have changed in some way for the worst.

See for me, I like the feel of getting better, of learning something, and Reach's mechanics are hard to master. Like, really hard. Whether it's learning the pacing of bloom, timing that melee just right, or , Reach is a hard game to be good at. When I fail at Reach, 99% of the time I feel like it's my fault. I find it's harder to blame lag, or the fact that the other guy started firing his AR a few milliseconds before me. If I lose a melee fight, it's because I couldn't land the headshot, or I meeleed too early.
There are times where a dude warps, or there are times where I manage bloom but I still miss, but I find those times where I feel like I lost for something out of my control happen far less than other Halos. It's entirely possible that this feeling of learning is because I suck, and when something goes wrong, I generally blame it on my own actions. But it doesn't matter, I still just enjoy the hell out of the game.
That's not to say there aren't things that infuraite me. Armour lock is a cancer that slows down the game in a negative way, the BTB map selection is balls, and team objective is effectively dead until they remove the drop shield. But overall, I'm just happy to keep playing MP in reach.
