I want hundreds of them. But there wouldn't be only for me. I want to give them EuroHaloFans, who can't afford or have no time to travel to HaloFEST. Maybe I'm going to buy 10 Plush-Grunt and some HaloFEST merch, pack them into a package and send them to my address in the US. So I won't get over the 23kg baggage limit.GhaleonEB said:

This brings me hope! I ordered a few posters and a t-shirt separately too and nothing is showing as shipped yet, hopefully they're all on their way.
Does prefer good connection actually do anything? It just seems to keep you in the lobby for an extra few minutes then throws you into a game with a crap host anyway :/

Urk had mentioned that the Amazon storefront fiasco resulted in them selling more bags than they had planned to sell, so they were running out of stuff. I had set my expectations at a cancellation email (or beard clippings). So I was delighted to get something.A27 Tawpgun said:
I've seen some awe-inspiring behavior in Premium Battle today. The way some people play objectives is stupifying. I don't mean people who are messing around or playing Slayer during CTF, I mean the people actually playing, and drive Warthogs into walls and run the bomb out in the open and take the flag in the wrong direction or hear a bomb-carrying Mongoose coming and remain scoped in their sniper rifle facing the wrong direction while it's armed.
This is a semi-masked plea for party members if anyone is on.
Did you find out about the candy thing? They're doing the matching soon, I want to let them know if I'm free or not.Hypertrooper said:

Crusing the Waypoint page and found this gem
omg omg omg I just thought of the greatest fix for Armor Lock. This is mind-blowing. Ready?
You can't Armor Lock if you're being shot at.
Here's a little more in depth description: Armor Lock is the same as it is now, but you won't be able to activate it when you're being shot at, and for 1 second after that. So someone can't Armor Lock if you're shooting them, or in those little melee fights, or almost any other annoying situation.
We could even apply this to Evade and Drop Shield. You won't have people dodging away in the middle of firefights, or creating random drop shields right before you kill them.

Can everyone shut the fuck up about jetpacks?
God you bitch about armor lock being overpowered, then evade is overpowered, now its jetpack overpowered?
How can everything be overpowered?!
Theres a unique balance each AA has, alright, each one has disadvantages to its advantages.
Now shut the fuck up and play the game!

Running into a funny glitch in which tunavi is muted every new game we do. lol.
I was able to arm the bomb in 14 seconds, (partially) from inside a vehicle. That's not okay. I could not have bitched harder about the instant arm on that map before, but it's not better enough to justify playing that playlist even now. There's been this trend of not using the bases for objective games, and it just confuses me.Dani said:
Also, lol Renegade anything, lol Territories on Spire. GG Big Team.

Heh. Pretty sure.

He may have been mute banned.

Just Reach. Frequently muted players get defaulted to muted for a certain amount of time. They can be unmuted at any time though. In the MLG playlist its common for everyone to mute each other at the start of a game so you can't be heard, so if you go in MLG almost everyone is muted by default. :lol
I don't know if that's what happened to Tunavi, but that's what I'd guess.

I don't really get a lot of information. Better you do the matching thing. Otherwise I'll take some german candy with me, even without participating the candy swap.(So you can try out the delicious german candy)GhaleonEB said:

A timely article from Gamespot about user experience testing, featuring Valve, Bungie and Epic.
This seems pertinent to the recent conversation:

Edit: Well, as I least I clipped out an interesting bit. :lol
This seems pertinent to the recent conversation:
"We have a sign-up page for playtesters on Bungie, and we bring in a whole range of people: people who are experts, people who play casually, everyone," says John Hopson, the user research design lead at Bungie. (He too has a psychology degree). "For Halo testing we even bring in people who have never played a shooter before. It's painful to watch because they have a lot of trouble, especially with things that we dont even think about anymore, like coordinating the use of two thumbsticks or knowing where the buttons are. But Halo is supposed to be a game that is fun for everyone, so it's necessary to see how people who have never played a shooter before react to it."
Arrington says if developers lean too far in one direction they risk skewed playtesting results, ones that don't take into account information from players who have the potential to account for a large portion of the game's user base.
"If you fail to account for players new to your game or genre, it's typically those players that will stop playing, or avoid your game, if the barrier to entry is too high. So this is very important for making the game easily accessible to the casual gamer as well as challenging enough for the veteran, hardcore gamer."
