Seriously, you're not the only one. I've done the same thing THREE times at work today. @___@

Count me in as a third. For some reason I've thought it was Friday about five times today.

Please educate a junior on the story behind this. Was there really a big dispute on HaloGAF at one point?

There was blood everywhere, like 12 people got permabanned and mentioning one of the people's names that got banned became a meme, the meme then became a bannable meme. It's best not to talk about it, in fact you should remove that gif just to be safe.

This was back when we had actual debates and discussion, good times.

AR vs. BR

AR vs. BR

It all comes down to map movement.

Yeah me too. Dunno why, probably because tomorrow's Good friday and I have school off.

DMR or BR?

 

[Vanillalite]

I need some good community maps to play because *Flame Suit On* I'm sort of bored with the stock maps. I feel like with each Halo release I get bored of the Stock maps + DLC faster and faster each time.

PS: Thanks for adding me to your friend's list Alien!

I took a bunch of screens of Exodus earlier today only for it to tell me once I got out of Theater that I reached my Active Transfer limit, so it cut off the rest that I had lined up, they're still in my Local Files though, but now I'd have to upload them to my 6 slot fileshare.

Oh well, anyway my point was going to be this: A New Alexandria themed Forge World would be the most ideal human forge world, for the following reasons:

-The assets are already there, hell just re-texturing the current Forge World Pieces with Exodus textures would be great.
-There is a good amount of color variety and things are readily identifiable.
-Even the most basic of Forged maps would at least(ideally) look like this:

Which is a million times better then what we got going now.

While the more better Forged maps would(ideally) look this:

That is of course if it was a more closed Forge area, which would allow them to crank up the eyecandy without hurting the framerate.

But Kibbles would prefer Foundry.

[Tunavi]

People quit in this game ALL THE TIMEEEEE

Also, Jetpacks on Spire. Why haven't I been doing this until now?

Third, Invasion is the greatest thing ever

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Yea I wish they had a drop in drop out for BTB at least. Like how BLOPS Ground War works. That would be something.

I would like to see a mode where you just enter and games cycle through maps by time but no real score is kept besides yours, you just play and if you become outmatched you can leave and join another game or stick around and get better. If people leave people get replaced by bots, and when new players join the bots get replaced by the real player. This mode would have daily/weekly challenges, objectives, medals, to shape how people get satisfaction from the mode.

The Ivory Tower like interior sections look amazing, but the outdoor all white makes me want to stab my eyes out. And no, definitely not looking for another Foundry. Playing Exodus today, while easier than LNOS, I felt it a lot worse just because the map was so boring and ugly. I just have some sort of hatred for that white.

Yeah, I'd do with a more gray.

But really, I could go for a Boneyard/Holdout look if done right. Make it look more appealing in the sense of Metropolis with a grand scape (just not massively open like the current Forge World).

As I said before briefly, just allow for some additions like road ways, bridges, street signs, destructible pieces like cars/buses, and buildings that can be used for combat.

 

[Steelyuhas]

When we talk about New Alexandria forge possibilities, I am looking for some New Alexandria art style from the the actual "New Alexandria" mission, not from "Exodus".

 

[Louis Wu]

After ten straight hours of video editing, I'm done with the semester.

Pretty nice work! Hope it scored you something useful from the prof.

I believe that Exodus and New Alexandria are the best looking levels of the series, and would love to see a forge area set in it. The human architecture became so much better than Cov or Forerunner after ODST.

DMR or BR?

Dual wielding them both.

 

[Hey You]

Yesterday I started playing in Co-op Campaign matchmaking try to complete the missions I need for the Legendary achievement (Yes Imma bitch and don't want to do it solo) and I've been matched up with quite a few pretty cool people.

Some with mics and others without who play the mission properly. Every single game two people have quit out. Every game.

I've been having alot of fun playing the campaign online. Nice change up from the rest of MM.


Classic is sooo awesome. I do so much better in it than regular reach. Bring on Objective classic!

 

[Vanillalite]

I need to play some Fire Fight this weekend cause I don't really have any of those achievements (sorry I'm lame GAF and got the game late). There are a few campaign achievements I could go back for, but eh not in the mood. Already got the main one I wanted which was beat the game on Legendary Solo, and I got lucky and killed the Elite on Mission 5 before they escaped too.

Tried to play BTB last night, but only had 2 good games both multi CTF doing the noble map pack ie 6 on 6. When I tried just the regular BTB playlist I think every game one team had a mass exodus at the start so it ended up like 8 on 5, and by the end it would be like 8 on 3 or something.

 

[MrBig]

I'm up for ODST and the vidmasters anytime now. Hopping on for some reach mm Portal 2 until whoevers doing it gets on too.

After ten straight hours of video editing, I'm done with the semester.

And I'm exhausted, so I won't be getting online for the Vidmaster. Sorry, guys.

Spoiler

That vid never uploaded to 720p, even though I shot it at that setting.

Nicely done. What course is that for, just curious? 10 hours, wow. It's amazing how long it can take just to make something watchable and make sense. Imagine if you had to do all the music, too

Spoiler

y u no use music? Part of the assignment?

. Congrats on the semester!

I loved yesterday's FF challenges. Thursdays are such a cR haul for those of us who can't play all the time or for very long.

Yes it certainly is. I've held off on reading it because I don't like being held in too much suspense when a webcomic with a story arc like this that is only updated so often.

Hopefully the Bungie gods won't tickle the lag switch when it comes down to the wire.

Classic is sooo awesome. I do so much better in it than regular reach. Bring on Objective classic!

I love playing online co-op (finally starting to get some Onyx commendations). Haven't seen to many assholes since the playlist was implemented, and like you said there are usually quitters to make the scoring a little better for yourself. When I get a little tired of Firefight, hopping into co-op campaign is a great way to spend a drunken evening.

edit: Yeah, Fistful of Arrows is an awesome series. Love to see this as a motion comic through Waypoint.

I'm thinking I should be able to get online for a solid 2hrs+ tonight starting around 10pm EDT.

 

[Hey You]

More tidbit of info on BTB update:

Max Local Players will remain at 2.

There are other unrelated changes including the addition of Assault and the removal of Atom, Countdown, Headhunter, King of the Hill and Bro Slayer. With all of these changes we have made adjustments to the weightings focusing on CTF and Assault.
