Do the feet flames show up when you walk through water?

I've been out of the pile for a few days. Have the playlist changes gone live?

is it too late to delay event so walshy can go?
I just had a wonderful game of Firefight Limited on Coutyard; I get matched up with one dude, who doesn't move for a while. And when he does, it's to shoot a Grunt and then quit. So it's me, solo, against the entire Firefight Limited horde for half an hour.
Which is the way I'd like to be able to play in Score Attack. Yay!
I do decently, three deaths and nearly get through the Set. Score of 54,785, 286 kills and three deaths.
Here's a (crummy) screenshot of the post game report that's on my TV (pardon the flash, that turned out to be the most clear image):
Note his score of 47 points.
I hop over to bungie.net, as I often do, to look at the details of the game. This game, the actual one I played with this johnsonks fellow, does not appear on bungie.net. It's replaced by this one, with him not quitting, going +70 with a score of 7,723 , me +35 with a score of 2,976.
That game never took place, but it's what was recorded. The epic game I just had, doesn't exist on b.net.
What on earth?

I don't think he quit. I think you lagged out. It said that you didn't finish the game.
I think what happened is that you lagged out around 3,000, so he had to actually play the game.
If you look at the enemies killed over time, he doesn't start scoring points until you plateau around 3,000.
Edit: Maybe B.net chose his game over yours? I don't know how that aspect of stat tracking works.

What?
I have never heard anything like that. Crazyness.
I don't think I lagged out, I was clearly host and had no issues. But it does seem the game peeled us off into our own games, and then recorded his instead of mine.Hitmonchan107 said:
Edit: just saw your edit.
But to make this point again, this is what I want to play in Score Attack. Please urk, ask Lars/NoF/anyone if this is possible. It's either the same Grunt/Jackal/Brute/Skirmisher/Elite structure in Score Attack, or deal with throngs of griefers and AFK players in Limited. Let me play games like this, and I'll be one happy camper.

Game Informer had one yesterday as well.Trasher said:
Sorry. What I meant by "lagged out" is that one of you dropped, not necessarily you.GhaleonEB said:
Are you asking for a Limited-structured solo playlist? Because that might be the cure for my ODST blues.
I thought the joke was that they were pulling stories from HaloGAF,Trasher said:
which they were.

main point of my post was to show how slow Kotaku is etc
edit: We are on the same page then! Just checking haha. Yeah that's what I was going for. Sometimes I can't be sure with you new juniors.
Yup. It's the one thing missing from the Firefight playlists: a solo survival mode. ODST was awesome for it, and while Reach plays different it is in several ways tuned better for a single player. I secretly wish everyone would just quit from every Limited game so I didn't have to deal with them and could just play.Hitmonchan107 said:
At any rate, here's my Firefight clip of the evening, an appropriately explosive sequence from near the end of that game that wasn't.

Tried to set up a map for Speedpile, and the flags disappeared off my body when I went into a score zone and spawned again, but I didn't get any points for it. Also, I couldn't figure out how to make a flag worth more than one point.
Oh, just found this from Jeremiah:

My Onza is on the van for delivery this morning. Is it as good as I hope HaloGAF? I can't wait to get my Bumper Jumper back on!

Mine was DHL Express Delivered, and I tracked it all the way. It's just arrived. I'm at work sadly, so it'll have to wait until I get it home. But I unwrapped it and plugged into my PC to try it out. It feels GOOD.
Plus the way it lights up is very pretty.
Halo 3's BR felt like the weakest of the whole series in terms of being a top premier precision weapon. Probably due to the shitty spread and no hitscan. 343i gotta have hitscan in their game. It's a must-have in the Halo MP.Hitmonchan107 said:
As for "not feeling like a badass"... erm, play Halo 1 much? I wanted Halo 2's BR to be a single shot. At the demo they first revealed, it was. In the little demo they did showing off the lock-on rockets, boarding, sword, etc. they showed how at one point the BR was a single shot when scoped in but a burst when not scoped. Not sure how that would have been delivered in terms of impact, but the single shot has been in Bungie's mind the whole time.

I'm definitely looking forward to impressions on the onza. Shame its wired, but oh well. I'm also not a fan of the start/back button placement.
Oh dang, I just realized you'd be able to do that again without it feeling awkward to use AAs. I think I might order one with all of this incoming birthday money.Sikamikanico said:My Onza is on the van for delivery this morning. Is it as good as I hope HaloGAF?

Damn that controller looks good. They've delayed my shipping on it since I ordered pretty late. About two weeks apparently.
Also is that 18K challenge the most credits a challenge has been worth so far?

I agree, we should have an option to go into longer games of score attack. Honestly when they came out with "Score Attack X2" I thought it meant that they added another round. Therefore "times 2" rounds. Hehe Got me excited for a sec, but I still love the power of the AR and pistol in X2. Fun Stuff.
Also the Onza thing: What kind of name is that, any explanation? And if I was considering buying one, I'd wait for wireless. Its obvious they're gonna make wireless versions of it. They're just phasing them out to make more money.
Is the Onza really that much better?
On another note, is Power Slayer really gonna have "melting feet"? Thats cool! Except if it combines with Camo and the flames are visible. So is this what urk has been teasing about all along? Neat.
Man, I have all 4 wireless controllers and 4 rechargable battery packs. It works great, wires are obsolete to me.equil said:

I feel the same way. Even though my xbox controller is wireless, it's usually almost dead; so I leave it plugged into the charger 90% of the time, essentially making it a wired controller.equil said:
All this talk of the Onza had me baffled. Finally checked it out online and to my surprise it's a Razer product. I'm a fan. My computer mouse is a Razer mouse and I love it. I'm too cheap to buy a fancy smancy controller though.

How long will the action sack be online? I hope I'm able to play during my spring break(in two weeks). The next two weeks I've no real time to play.(Maybe this weekend)

I'm not sure yet. I think I'm going to have to adjust how I hold my pad, as I get the same impression. However, the triggers are more of a concern to me. They feel...not quite right, but then I haven't played with them yet.
I'll report back with a more in depth report on the Onza tonight or tomorrow I reckon.

I like my Onza so far, the rubber grip is REALLY comfortable. Only problem I've encountered are: the cords length, shoulder buttons are a bit crowded, buttons are a tad weird. Besides that I like it.
Damn it. This day is going by too slow. I have to wait till 4 EST to get home, pump out the dumb FF and campaign challenges, and then go pooping on everyone in classic. Then when my bowels are emptied I'll have some action sack shenanigans.
Does anyone know if these playlists are planned to be permanent? I hope they'll just keep adding maps and gametypes to them. Classic could use some CTF.

Yesterday I was playing and this guy was bitching to me because I didn't have any kills....it was 30 seconds into the match -_____- I said, "did you just score check me less than a minute into this game?" I lol'd...then he point checked me lol. Apparently he was some top amateur. I had never heard of him. He's a fuckin herb no matter how many points he has. I hate those fuckin people.
