Holy shit your avatar has several cats in it.

They dream of the Mona Lisa in ascii.

We got any word on what exactly is getting streamed from PAX. IGN halo hub was down when i checked it. Dont wanna miss anything

 

[lybertyboy]

Is it split into eleven 5 minute chunks?

Spoiler

Did not like.

I was talking about the painting.

Spoiler

U no like free things?

Wow. I never noticed that either.

Only 2 Hours till my flight. PAX is so near for me!

May your flight be non eventful and quick.

 

[Devolution]

Wow. I never noticed that either.

It is the most epic of beards.

 

[Bread]

I died 11 times that game. Most was either rockets with invis, nades, snipes with invis or melee. When you're told to play MLG to up your DMR skill and just run into that, I should have been thrilled obviously.

It was a shitty host too, my shots weren't hitting. I can't stand this game right now, I'm taking a long hiatus until this update is out.

Yeah, once the new semester starts up I'll probably have to keep it at a distance anyway if I want to get work done.

 

[Thermite]

Could have just avatar quoted yourself. Dat Swearengen.

A Deadwood fan? +1000 internets to you!

Also, glad to hear that the early November date isn't set in stone. *prays for a September release*

I have this problem where I imagine people as their avatars, and I assumed you were a huge dude with a great beard made of cats. Obviously that didn't hold up for very long.

 

[Tashi]

I'm hoping for a post MLG Orlando release date.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

I was talking about the painting.

Spoiler

, I know, I saw the chance to troll/drop some criticism after sitting down and watching all of it after dropping it earlier due to annoyance at how it was being presented.

Spoiler

The Mona Lisa was my baby, cream of Evolutions... Actually, I'll pay for a re-edited version.

Every time I see him I think of this. Not safe for work by the way. No one says cocksucker like Ian McShane as Swearengen.

what the shit?? :-o

Mindblown.

edit-
Now that I look at it, the cats seem impossible to miss, this must be a recent change or something.

:lol I thought Giants baseball player with a gnarly beard. (unless that was someone else and I have a faulty memory)

They've been there all along. No trickery here =p.

lol it's not...

I remember the first time I realized they were cats too.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

People had not noticed the cats?!?
Different people ~= different perceptions?

No faulty memory, these were mine too.

Nope. I never noticed. I always wondered why the hell she had that avatar too. Well now I know. lol

And EuroHaloGAF: I'm trying to get a lot of extra swag. I'm taking the biggest bag with me, so I can get a lot of swag. If I get over the luggage limit(70lbs.), I'm going to send them via FedEx to my address. Otherwise I'm trying to figure out how I should give away that stuff.

That's um...a bit underwhelming. Looks like I'll be able to easily fit them in my suitcase though, so definitely look forward for a giveaway from me barring a price I find obscene.

You don't want it to cut into your Gears 3 time, dude.

I didn't notice the cats until about a month ago, lol.

 

[Tawpgun]

Sniper tradeoff kills? Really?

Also, since Bungie wasn't owned my Msoft there wasn't any Halo Swag there.... so my question.... is 343 making a Halo store? plzplzplzplz

Or at least post the catalog of merchandise at Halofest so I can beg someone to buy something for me (and I'll pay back)

WOW SNIPERS ON HEMO AGAIN.

WILL TURN DONGING UP 50% TO CLEANSE THESE FOOLS.

Hemo snipes, the game's fatal version of Where's Waldo.

 

[Ken]

Hemo snipes, the game's fatal version of Where's Waldo.

I have more fun playing Where's Waldo than Hemorrhage Snipers.

I should probably keep a Where's Waldo next to me and play that every time Hemorrhage Snipers comes up.

PROTIP: They're in the rocks, the cave, or the ridge

Or camping behind tele.

 

[thezerofire]

winning on that gametype comes down to going anywhere but these places and shooting at those places.

 

[The Henery]

winning on that gametype comes down to being the red team (in 95% of cases)

Winning it means being able to see the faintest fucking edge of a players head. Or not having a guy get 2 kills and go negative 13 smh....

 

[Devolution]

Sitting in base and playing Where's Waldo for real actually sounds more fun.

Speaking of things more fun than say stupid gametypes, I'm watching Robin Hood Men in Tights right now. Hello young Dave Chappelle.

AHA! Good one, me buying Gears!..

I believe in 343. However long it takes, it'll be worth it.

Halo 4 Delayed until Xbox 4 for clever marketing strategy.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Halo 4 Delayed until Xbox 4 for clever marketing strategy.

In Mattrick's position I'd consider it. Then not do it because I can make more money on the 360 for a while.

Spoiler

It'll be Halo 5.

 

[Plywood]

Halo 4 Delayed until Xbox 4 for clever marketing strategy.

That's what I'd do anyway.

That way they could tighten up the graphics on level 3 and ship as a launch title.

I'd be fine with that

You're gonna hate me for asking this. I looked online, and I didn't find a clear, irrefutable answer:

Does Halo Anniversary come with the entire Halo Reach muliplayer (like Halo 3 did for ODST) or does it only come with extra maps?

Again, I'm sorry for asking this. I just want a definite answer from people who know what they're talking about.

Thanks.

No.

Just the new maps (remakes) and a matchmaking mode to play just these maps in the classic gameplay (no armor abilities, no reticule that expands, bigger jumps, etc) , but still using the Reach engine.

You don't even need to change the disc, the main menu is something like

CAMPAIGN
HALO REACH MULTIPLAYER
SETTINGS

 

[wwm0nkey]

I would be fine with Halo 4 being a next xbox launch title.

No it does not. You CAN install the maps on the Anniversary disc to your hard drive and play them from your Reach disc or download the Anniversary maps to your hard drive as a standalone DLC map pack for Reach should you decide not to buy Anniversary.

Also this TU release date ambiguity is just setting us up for the biggest Frankie Saves of all time.

Not interested in getting more overpriced (and likely faulty) hardware to play Halo 4.

Your timing is impeccable.

 

[BackdoorBeauty]

No it does not. You CAN install the maps on the Anniversary disc to your hard drive and play them from your Reach disc or download the Anniversary maps to your hard drive as a standalone DLC map pack for Reach should you decide not to buy Anniversary.

I'm rolling the dice that it DOES contain all the Reach maps, similar to the ODST Multiplayer disc.

The CEA Maps also will not be available as a standalone DLC download. You need to use a voucher code that comes with the CEA disc to download the CEA maps.. ie you have to buy CEA to get the maps.

Call me crazy. Maybe someone can ask at PAX.

 

[Plywood]

[Zeouterlimits]

But they said this wasn't the case. I can see the benefit in changing their mind (follow the precedent for side games set by ODST), but I don't know if it out ways the benefits of their announced plans.
