That's what I saying in Juices' stream lol. GAFers are their avatars, and when it turns out they're not its really disappointing.

So everyone thinks I'm a dude walking around with cats for a beard?

what I find even more mind boggling is that there's people actually voting for it :/

Agreed, not even half of the map is used most of the time. I usually only enter the core building to get the banshee or get to the crane.

Only DLC maps (including CEA, but optional until they come on the marketplace) should be in the playlist. I for one, loved playing Highlands most of the time in the Defiant playlist.

People have told me I look like the young Bruce Campbell. But it was probably because I couldn't find a decent celeb doppelganger for Change your pro pic to your doppelganger week. I just went with mah boy Bruce.

HaloGAF cleansed.
Unnecessary. You're just causing more shit.

I think there's valid critiques all around (especially of kylej's gay joke), but at least be constructive.

What I meant was not posting stuff like this. Both sides just keep feeding this nonsense. 1 side will have to stop to end it.

This side is stopping.

Is this the part where I tell you I'm just joking and you are too serious? Which simultaneously excuses my behavior and makes you appear to be a stick in the mud?
 
The answer of course is to ignore everybody since the quote function renders ignore pointless. But seriously, can we discuss and or complain about Reach not other people?

Fuckin' damn.

Not really just stokin' the fire. I foresee passive aggressive pokes now instead of direct replies. Why not just drop it altogether.

Fuck Evade and grenades! Argh!

Well, he said he was stopping so let's give him a chance and see yeah?

Evade should stay with the elites. If they wanted a similar concept for spartans it should have been more of a side scramble because to be perfectly honest I've wanted a real dodge from stuff like rockets for years. But not this crazy roll back and forth, and certainly not with sword.

I think a nice way to better balance evade would be to force a redraw of the weapon once the evade finishes, since I believe shotgun and sword already have longer animations when drawing them than the standard weapons.

I'd like to see AAs just completely gone at this point. I think a good way to balance them across the board though would be to increase their recharge time and decrease usage time. Short bursts with less frequency of use. You'd have to think more carefully about using.

Do that, increase grenade fuse on impact, make spawns smarter, red/blue starts more balanced, and remove inertia stuff so I can straw and Reach would be pretty awesome.

I don't agree with outright cutting them but it would be nice if there was a limit. I believe MLG has them as pick-ups and that seems to me like it would be a nice implementation. Then you could have an advantage like Armor Lock without it becoming too obnoxious.

The only AA I don't like is the Drop Shield. Should have only deployed in one direction instead of re-using the Bubble Shield assets. It becomes completely broken when the entire team can spawn with it.

Alternately, maybe it should have been more Medic-like and you stick the biofoam container from ODST into teammates to heal them when you have it as an AA. Re-use the assassination code so you go into third person while doing it so people can't just run up and bio-stab teammates back to health inside a strongpoint instantly. And you'd actually have the biofoam container on your back like how the Jetpack AA actually gives you a jetpack and the other AAs have their own 'item' on you.

This would also make it more of a skill to use as you wouldn't be able to biofoam yourself back to health.

I fucking love playing medic in Bad Company 2, I probably have something like 95% of my playtime with that class.
 
Posting your ignore list as an image and then saying you're stopping is not stopping at all.

Its like a little kid arguing who needs that last word to convince himself hes won.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who is doing it, but I want to publicly disclose that I saved your pictures to a folder on my dropbox so they don't get lost forever in case they're needed in the future for something cool (I don't know what, but rest assured that they won't be used by me in trolling or anything that is bad or freaky). Only saved pictures people posted of themselves, not posted by other members, and didn't include the pictures from Fyrewulf (he deleted it later, so he doesn't want it to be out there), ghal and shake (both don't show face). PM me if you want your picture deleted from the folder.

Firefight Doubles, Arcadefight, Courtyard.

I'm working on stickies, and knock back the lead Jackal in a squad of three for the stick, and toss it right on target.

Or so I thought, at any rate. It threads the needle and misses them all, somehow.

Only to detonate in mid air, in the perfect place for the triple kill.

Turns out I had gotten an assit from this fellow, who sniped my grenade right out of the air, dooming his buddies.

Thanks, random Jackal dude.

Stuff like this happens every Firefight game, but I don't take the time to go back and appreciate most of them.

Ghal I must commend the dedication to Firefight, but I'm curious as to your own motivations to play it? Do you try to play it for score? Or do you play it for the sheer love of Reach gunplay against AI?

While I do love facing off against Halo AI, the formula of Firefight that pits you off against mostly the same enemy type in waves format is what kills it for me, since Halo combat is really interesting when the different enemy types are working together to combat you in different ways.

I just wanted to post to say how awesome ODST's beginning is. The music during the ODST drop is soooo good.
ODST is so damn good, and I think it might be because of its small dev team. But I also appreciate it for being a one off as well.
 
Alright, if this officially makes me part of HaloGaf, then.....

I'm on the right. I blurred my brothers face to protect his identity. Most recent pic I have.

EDIT: Also, I'm taller than my brother, but we must have been standing on an incline. Just noticed this haha

I feel the same way. At wedding party not engagement party though. I think of it this way: today they'll iron out all the kinks and next week they'll take Classic Customs out of Beta and do it up proper.
