Did this Gif happen last night? I wonder if that guy #59 got fined. I had Eli, Jacobs and Manningham playing this week on my Fantasy team and they pushed me over for the victory, love them G-Men. Oh yeah and Halo is fun.

If someone actually ran the data I bet there are 3x more quitters in Reach than Halo 3. It's actually quite amazing how many people quit games.

Unless it's not popular in the beta hoppers (lol yeah right) it's very likely that it will be in every slayer/objective playlist. Just like the tweaked armor abilities and slightly reduced bloom. They won't keep old Reach around alongside a better version of it, that's just confusing and redundant.

We've already been promised that vanilla Reach will remain in matchmaking.

Mmm, that post does seem to say just that, I was under the impression before that they meant that they were gonna fix vanilla Reach while keeping its style of gameplay intact (AAs, Bloom, slow movement). Great, now with old Reach keeping hold of most of MM, improved Reach gameplay is gonna occupy matchmaking space that could've gone to more good Classic playlists. sigh

But then again, if the one or two classic playlists are not good enough, I might get into gears 3 or Bf3 for a while as my main online game until Halo 4, it might prove to be a nice change of pace not having Halo as my main.



v v Yeah.. this kind of playlist management does not bode well for Halo 4, but I'll reserve judgement until after the release of CEA, we don't actually have clear picture yet of the shape of reach/cea matchmaking, just hints and random conflicting reports

The playlist management of TU capabilities and CEA maps is going to be very interesting. It's also what I'm most concerned about for the TU and CEA.

We've gone over this before. It depends on your definition of Vanilla Reach.

They're not replacing it with Classic/Chocolate Reach, but don't complain when Vanilla Reach gets a few sprinkles.

Knowing him, he will write off Halo 4, oh wait he already sort of did.

I have not played this game for a couple of days and it feels nice. Gears will be here tomorrow, so will do some COOP with that.

Looks like a late update this week? Well it was early last week so. That's cool.
Edit: Right.. I'm looking at "Wednesday 12:15AM" Got confused. Lawl. Been thinking a day ahead all day today.

Why did that guy throw the ball at him? The Hell.

Also I wish Drive was available in our city tonight. We were going to see Warrior and it got canceled one day prior because of some Pearl Jam thing. Piss off!
We saw Contagion.......... god sakes. What a waste of time and 6$!!!

Doubt it. Three times as much is extreme, people quit all the time in Halo 3 as well.

Team Rifles or whatever it's called in Classic is hilarious. How is the Needle Rifle more 'classic' than the BR replacement? Bungie just give people a DMR jesus christ. Shades of Shishka.

AR gametypes on grey Legos. I feel sorry for those 16 people.

The 110 dmg NR is a 6sk instead of 7sk. It's used to get a faster kill time out of precision weapon, being more akin to Halo's with faster kill times.

Embrace the dolphin gun bro

U mad bro?

I don't play classic much, just explaining why the NR is used. I have no issues with the dolphin myself though.

I fuckin hate that thing. I hate getting shot with it too. Shots hit too ofte., very annoying.

Shots hit too often eh? Welcome to the TU!

If you think that I'm implying I like DMR because bloom causes shots to miss, you're reading into it too much lol. I mean that the time between shots is less with the NR than the DMR.

definitely did! and i doubt it, it was completely unintentional and asked that guy into the locker room after the game to hug it out because he had no idea it happened.

I wonder what the reasoning is behind not uploading the TU gametype right away?
Click to expand...

I assume just to make sure the TU deploys without a hitch, and to give themselves some time to fix it if something goes wrong before deploying a gametype.

So good.

I've been in sonic bliss the past few weeks with the Chili Peppers' 'I'm With You' and a friend of mine turned me onto Foster the People's 'Torches'.
