You jerks are making it harder for me to decide between E3 and PAX! :^(
I would like to add that you guys are lovable jerks.

Yeah, Blackout was significantly different than Lockout, which lead it to play different. Heretic is very close to Midship, and after playing it in Halo 3, I think proves more than anything that H3 is quite similar to H2 (H3 is a poor man's H2 IMO). Reach however, is significantly different than its predecessors. Think about a Midship in Reach with sprint, jetpack, and a DMR that has unlimited range. I think an exact remake would play differently than it does in H2 and H3.
As for PAX Prime, I cannot make it unfortunately, I will be in Pullman (which only members of Bungie and 343i probably know what I'm talking about).

Damn. 343i is hating us Europeans.Dani said:
I'm just kidding
Please let the Plush Grunt not be PAX Prime exclusive.
Edit.: The Headhunter Preview pic looks amazing. I hope it's going to be more in motion than the ONE Production Stuff.(what is still awesome)

Hey. America is a big country. I can't make the trip. More like "Damn lucky West-Coasters."Dani said:
I've only read the summaries and discussions of the Evolutions stories, so I'm excited for the Headhunter vid and the coming episodes of Mona Lisa.
For some reason, just the mention of Headhunters reminds me...
Whoever suggested (either on here or HBO) that the story was a sign of things to come from Reach (Spartan III's with custom armor and shielding, etc.) was spot-on.

Is anyone from HaloGAF going to Gamescom this year? I think I'm going with a bunch of friends by train.
I have a funny story for the first time I went: So the first time I went, I was 15 and I went with a friend and my little brother. My parents brought us to the convention and they went into Collonge themselves. So we directly went to the Halo 3: ODST boot and stood in line for about half an hour. When it finnaly was our turn, the woman said that we were too young to enter. I asked her if it was possible to enter when we had permission of my parents but she stated one of them had to accompany us. So I called my parents and asekd if they wanted to come, an hour before we were going to leave.
In the mean while, we went to the Guitare Hero boot and some others, which was great and all but the main reason we went was for ODST.
So at the end, we stood another half our in line with my mother and when it was our turn, she had to prove that all of us were her sons. There came another problem, my mon couldn't prove my friend was her son so he couldn't enter while my brother and I could. We woman saw the dissapointed face of my friend so she decided to give him a big poster
The 10 minute firefight gameplay was awesome and I think that's the reason I loved ODST's firefight and my friend dind't really

Older than....... time?
Still cool
My favorite part was when he shot and killed that guy who had terrible aim. Or the guy who was fighting somebody else and didn't notice him. Or the guy who started off not touching the controller.Striker said:Saw this on Bnet's forum

I don't think I've ever actually picked up a Plasma Repeater. Pretty sure the only time I use it is when I spawn with it in Invasion. And that's only until I find a Needle Rifle.

Ready I think, the only thing I have not done are put any spawn points near the tunnels or in them... should we?

That must've been going around last night. My last game of doubles for the evening ended with us repeatedly snuffing them out of that very spot. It was a different pair of guys from the ones you played though.Tunavi said:
Also, had a game of Invasion Breakpoint where our Falcon got sucked into the floor after it spawned and two of us jumped in it to fly off. It sank like the floor was made of quicksand and started doing flips.

Anyone down for a GAF big team party when the playlist goes up today? People with DLC would be ideal.

The Halo deals explicitly say they won't even distribute the points til after the promotion is over (May 15, I think). It'll probably be a week after that til you get the points themselves.

Are any of you going to give Team Classic another chance now that it has objective and 1x frag starts?

Ken said:
Not sure, Bungie doesn't say when playlist updates go up, but sometime in the next few hours is probably a good guess.
Tunavi said:
Affirmative.
The Real Napsta said:
Yes, but the population is so low that you pretty much have to play with a TO4.

I search with 2's and 3's all the time. It's not a problem.
Arcadefight is now listed in the gametypes for Firefight Arcade on b.net, as is Squad Slayer and the BTB update. I assume that means that page is updated.
No other game types added to Arcade, Limited or Score Attack (!!!). I hope it's not complete. (Current phase: denial.) If it is, then Bungie has simply abandoned Firefight from a playlist management standpoint.
This is BTB now:

Big Team Slayer
BTB Snipers
Elite Slayer
1 Flag CTF
Multiflag CTF
Stockpile
Territories
Assault
One Bomb Assault
Neutral Bomb Assault
Toss those first two, and it would be perfect.BTB Snipers

GhaleonEB said:
What changes do you want with Firefight MM?
Public Service Announcement: Assault in the new BTB is Halo 3 style, with a zero second arm and ten second countdown, at least with Neutral Bomb.
This is not what anyone wanted. It's practically impossible to disarm the bomb unless you are inside the room when it is armed. Two steps forward, one step back.
