lol, great clip. Stuff like that makes me love how Halo's physics can create such random/awesome outcomes.GhaleonEB said:

I wonder if Bungie Aerospace will have a presence at PAX. Isn't Crimson supposed to come out this Summer? The showfloor seems like it would be a perfect place to show it off.
It's interesting that we haven't heard anything on it lately, especially after that title/demo screen leaked. Seemed like that was something ready for the press to get ahold of.
Oddly enough, the only thing a Google search turns up is that some actor/voice guy named Kevin Pitman did work on it.
From his resume:
Print
- CRIMSON STEAM PIRATES - Principal - Jordan Weisman - 2B Enterprises LLC
- CRIMSON STEAM PIRATES - Principal - Jordan Weisman - 2B Enterprises LLC
I don't know why it's listed under "Print", apparently the work he did was not in the category of "Television/Film" or "Commercial". It just doesn't sound like he did voice work either; maybe he was just one of the Steampunk cosplayers that showed up for the photoshoot?

So since my cut was pretty minor in the grand scheme of things I was stuck waiting at the hospital to get it cleaned out. So I decided to get Emily (GF) to help me get it all cleaned out.
The problem is my toe is SORE so a little bit of alcohol+a wooden spoon+neoGAF got me through it.
Foot is in tip top shape now, I'll be walking laps at PAX without an issue.

Slow kill times and poor maps lol.
Reach's may be worse, but that doesn't make H3's kill times fast, or the maps good.
Just my two cents, of course.
Devin Olsen said:
Hmmm, you got me in the drinking mood with that image.
Glad to hear the foot was not a serious injury.

Devin, was the spoon just to bite on? Not sure if that'd work for me, heh.
VV Not necessarily. That last page had to download and render at least 34mb in just images. They were like mini movies, lol. That's not good, especially if the browser has been open a while and sucking memory already. If it bogged really bad, Juices may be right.

fucking depressing night for videogames. Couldn't get a good game in Halo or BC2

.GIFs are actually worse than movie files because .GIF is basically rendering each entire frame like a flipbook in a row, which requires you to basically store the entire damn thing in RAM and then try to render it fast enough to look like motion. It's essentially bruteforced video, which is why when creating gifs, you want to reduce color and the actual number of frames to take stress off the CPU.
Meanwhile, movies can use tricks like interframe compression. It's pretty neat how that stuff works.
Probably the best video I can find at the moment that mostly explains it.

Ugh, that sounds terrible. Now I understand the biting.
Hey, my wife's name is Emily.
Zoolader said:
Wow, so much better on all accounts. Smaller file size, cut length and sped up. Now its watchable and actually funny. Good work!

When posting .gifs, think of them as Forge objects.

I think it's better/funnier without the slow motion. Just my personal opinion though.Zoolader said:

Agreed. And the rest of it doesn't need to be quite so sped up. All the other changes are cool, though.ncsuDuncan said:

Pretty much nailed my biggest issue talking with Ghaleon/Dani about halo after 1.: Risk vs Reward. Halo 1 you want a better wep? Fight for it. You want a power up? Same deal. You want to get to a higher vantage point, climb a ladder and risk getting buttfucked.
I miss this mentality in designing literally everything on the map and the map itself.

This is the smaller cut, but the only picture I snapped while Emily was cleaning it.

Damn, Devin. That looks painful. I might need to go take a shot of Crown myself.
You might want to edit that post though, I don't think everyone would appreciate a link to the photo instead of an embed.
Edit: Beaten.
Edit2: Fixed.
Still need some Crown though.

Of course not. COD is a military shooter, Halo is an arena shooter. I'm comparing them to previous Halo games, H1 and H2.

I find the kill times in H3 to be closer to Reach's then to H2's. H3 and Reach are without a doubt in my mind both significantly slower in kill times and more so game speed in general than the first two Halos. Halo 1 is the fastest of course, but H2 is significantly faster than H3 and Reach in my opinion.
If you play(ed) primarily MLG for H3 that could change your opinion of H3's speed and kill times significantly has their settings had both damange and movement boosts from the default settings.

If you can't get good games of MP, boot up any one of the Halo campaigns. Replay a level. Totally worth it.thezerofire said:

Yea well the 3 games we lost tonight I did the best. I'm so sick of this amateur bullshit I need to start playing with Pistola and Heinz. Can't stand this AM garb. (not you but I think I may remove Fatal cause he shit the bed)
Halo 3's kill times were slower than H2. Weapon damage settings/range is one thing but then you have to factor how much slower it is to move around, bubble shields, health regen tool, shield doors, and lack of hitscan. Also add how long it takes to switch a weapon if you run out of ammo. All those things slowed down the combat. It was really noticeable.
If only Halo 3 never existed... Perhaps Reach would be a better game. The influence of Halo 3 is still felt in Reach. Even slower gameplay. Betrayal system replaced by Halo 3's shitty betrayal system shortly after Reach is released. Superior arming mechanics replaced by shitty Halo 3 instant arm. Overpowered Banshee with fuel rod cannon. Forge. I could go on.
I want to see 343 take a long look at that stuff. It's time to bring back the speed of those earlier games and fix all the other crap H3 has done to ruin Halo.

I would have said poor hit detection and inadequate map qualitySteelyuhas said:
But both work.
You can be jumped by a BR user and still be able to fend yourself off and be able to beat him with a SMG/Mag or SMG/PR combo whereas in Halo 3/Reach with an AR you're toast. Get rid of that weapon unless you're returning it to the Halo 1 style.
I hope you're not advocating going back to dual wielding. It completely fucked up the sandbox.Striker said:I would have said poor hit detection and inadequate map quality

I hope its all single wielding but with the balance of CE where every gun is somewhat useful on its own. The catch here is to not make something like the AR or another automatic weapon too powerful. It should rip people up close but not too much. Last thing we need is a piss easy weapon to use become super powerful.
