I think it's monday somewhere in the world right now.

Might as well, right?

:D

No but really. Team Tactical needs to make a comeback.

Did you watch the final? because I was there also (I had a blue hoodie on).

Also I played a bunch on condemned and played some firefight on unearthed (twice solo and once 4 person). Good maps hopefully I get back to my house in CT at a reasonable time to play some defiant customs tonight.

Don't want to ruin Dax's customs but does anyone want to play just a couple of matches on the new maps? (just one or two games)

I'll try to make it to customs, but since I have to get up early, I can't promise anything =\

VVVEdit: Guess I'm not getting the Legendary Edition Statue lol

Got linked from the Reach OT that you may want to be parting with your copy?

PM me back if you want to sell it.

Can someone take over for me for Defiant customs at 8? I'm playing with someone right now, and he doesn't have the maps. I'll join you guys when I can.

You know, to make a worthless analogy-getting one of the codes was like bloom. Those who spammed the trigger got a code immediately, while some of the folks who paced their shots are now at the respawn screen without the maps.

EDIT: Or they got the codes by scripting a shade turret on a Twitter Warthog.

Wouldn't pacing your shots get your kills faster than spamming bullets when there is bloom?

Contrary, this analogy has worth.

4 spam to head will win a majority of the time. I wish I could say an absolute, but luck happens to be a part of bloom, just like getting the code as well.

The same as non-Forge World or Tempest maps. So very little to none. It doesn't have Special FX filters either although it does have lots of crates.

That really just depends on how close you are to the target.

Definitely not when your upclose and even spamming from a distance can at times still net you a headshot. Anyway nice clips Tashi considering the short amount of time.

No. It's a matter of when to spam shots and when to pace. If they're all up in my face I will spam for body shots and if close enough, keep spamming for the head. Usually a 5 shot kill.

If they're farther away I spam the body, hold it, and get pinpoint headshot.

If they're decently far away... say.... Top Reflection all the way down to the end of one of the hallways, I'll always pace.

The problem with bloom is its not clear cut.

A spammer can still get lucky at mid range and take you out. It's that luck factor that people don't like. It might only happen 1/10 times, but the fact that it does happen is bad enough.

I'm STILL trying to control bloom. I have a fairly decent control on it, but when shit hits the fan I tend to freak out and not wait long enough to get a precision headshot. A lot of people just don't like the aspect of "I aimed perfectly at the guy but bloom denied me the kill."

If
when
another Halo FPS gets made, I want hitscan, but NO bloom at all. Give automatic weapons their spread, and just build the gameplay around a DMR/BR like weapon that has a max kill time equivelant of the H2 BR.

Not sure what to do about AA's/Equipment. Keep Overshield and Camo on map. Remove Camo AA, Remove Armor Lock, and put AA's on the map as pick ups. Each map would only have like 1-4. 4 being for the larger maps. AA's can be picked up from dead AA users too.

Tashi that opening Rocket shot was awesome. Nice timing bro! Map pack looks good- can't wait to spend $10, unlike you other freeloaders...

I totally understand this concept, but my comment was directed toward this analogy since distance matters:

I guess that's where the analogy drops. The only counter I could come up with is how we're all equidistant from the target, aside from the 343i employees.

Now that I think about it, most of HaloGAF did get the maps for free...

Then again, I did get the last map pack for free, so I shouldn't be complaining.
