It ain't going to happen. Ninja has like 5,000 and hes been partnered for weeks. Its easy if you're popular to get the first couple thousand but 3-4-and 5k just becomes tougher since so few people make accounts.
We'll all probably be waiting until its out of beta. Unless for some reason you blow up. Which would mean making a name for yourself at an event or something.

So I haven't been keeping up 100%, but how will the bloom be adjustable come the TU? I thought no UI elements were possible, are they going to have gametypes to download for every increment of bloom?

Yes they are good. You'll laugh at old analog sticks after a week of using KF's.

Anyone up for playing right now? I gotta shoot some shit.
Cool thanks guys. I think I'll try some KFs since they don't cost much. Just gotta decide concave or convex.
I always read this but it is hard for me in practice. Do you mean move it small amounts, or not at all in some cases?
When in a firefight and someone is jumping around and strafing its hard for me to track them. I know that's the point but I just can't keep the reticule on 'em. Blurg.
I'm still on and Tunavi keeps going on and off.

On a serious note, trying moving your right stick less.

How is Instinct so fucking good?
Tashi0106 said:
Gotcha. Pretty sure my problem is the right stick. I react too harshly then overcompensate and end up chasing the reticule around. Its hard for me to do finer movements of the stick. I used to play on 6, went to 4 and did better, and now at 5 thinking that would help. I'll try 3 out. Jet Packers become more of a problem with lower sensitivity though. Damn Jet Packs. Thanks Tashi.
Edit: Thanks for the info Sean.
Ahh yes. I've been in fights like that before. If you recognize you're going to lose early, turn around and bail. If that's not possible, try to get melee before you die. Things like that help your team win. Also, don't look at your shot being the only problem. Look at your positioning on the map. How often do you find yourself getting the first shot in a battle? Do you find yourself away from teammates often? Open up your whole game for inspection not just your shot. Good luck to ya!senador said:
I'm so tired I fear for death. But the day was worth it.
In non-HaloGAF news, the Skyrim panel was glorious anarchy. That game will take over lives and not let go for months.
On to the HBO breakfast and Halo 4 panel tomorrow, which means I'm getting up in ~6 hours. I'm going to need a vacation from this vacation.

rofl I'm becoming a pro at running away now that I use sprint instead of jetpack. Letters would hate me for itTashi0106 said:
For as much as people hate on the jetpack, it does requires you to commit to gun-duels to the death as you're a sitting duck when flying around. And my opinion of the jetpack has completely changed. It should have it's own playlist so that everyone who wants to fly around and have an orgy together can meet other people wanting to do the same thing. I never realized just how annoying it is that people with the jetpack can just fly anywhere and everywhere. It's fun to use, but stupid to play against.@Senador: This may be a personal opinion (and I'm definitely not advocating that i'm really good with headshots), but I don't think SWAT is really the place to work on headshots. It's too much of a fast twitch gametype. I'd go into a different playlist like Team Slayer to get better at your rhythm/pacing (especially while taking fire) and getting that final head-shot after a shield pops. SWAT won't allow you to do that for the most part.

Breakpoint could be a very good slayer btb map but you need to do more than remove the splaser. There's like 10 power weapons on it. People don't even bother taking the falcon anymore since it last like 10 seconds before exploding
Cut them some slack, it's not like they've got some sort of consumer-exposed map editor that would allow them to remove the vehicle from the map at the touch of a button instead of keeping an obviously broken vehicle in matchmaking for a full year while completely ignoring the issues that it presents with both its sniper and physics glitches.Devolution said:
I think I just lost half my brain cells with that Oscar-caliber performance. Seriously. Call a doctor.

Several reasons.
1. Competitive Halo law: Ogre 2 wins
2. They have the 2 best players in Roy and Pistola
3. Pistola is a wizard
4. Lunchbox supports while occasionally going huge
5. All 4 players are consistent (royola usually have +1.40 k/d ratio and Ogrebox +1.1 k/d ratio every event)
6. Twin powers
In my Classic 8v8 playlist, I would want Hemorrhage, Highlands, Headlong, and Ridgeline.Tunavi said:
Condemned and Tempest are too cramped for BTB, or in this case, 8v8.
Arena isn't needing "fixed", it isn't broken - at least no more broken or conflicting as Trueskill's 1-50 was. Race playlists? Really.PNut said:
The Banshee is the biggest problem the game has. And as far as we know, it's going untouched. That, along with the Revy sniping, and Covenant vehicles flying off maps are bigger, and are glitches/broken items that need fixed.
