If you mean a TU gametype, probably not.
I've been avoiding touching Halo CE campaign for a while so that playing CEA feels extra special, but in a moment of weakness played 20 minutes of AOTCR just now. Yep, still best game ever and still light-years better than the completely different looking/playing/feeling sequels.

Needler Rifle is sexy. Gave me my Unfriggenbelievable.
Its supposed to be in Classic because the added strength of Classic, and the fact bloom effects it less means its more like an older precision rifle.

Urk never mentioned that it was for the campaign in the post, but it's possible. Personally, I'll always believe that it was just for the awesome, even if Jason Jones publicly says otherwise to set the record straight. Halo would not have been Halo without that pistol being a wonder weapon.
Even without the predictable spawns, this is what I dislike about Halo nowadays. It's always a devolution into someone picking up the sniper rifle and going to town. People can say what they want, but there's almost no way to counter it. Such an awful implementation of weapon balance. In fact, it's absolutely horrid.kylej said:
slow regular weapon kill times equal a massive imbalance in the weapon sandbox since power weapons have never been nerfed and are more plentiful than ever on each map
those are the most pathetic exterminations that i've ever seen. I've only ever gotten one and i thought mine was bad. It's all about the power weapons and vehiclesbobs99 ... said:
The only other way is to get extremely lucky or to have a good team that is making all of the opposing team one shot kills.Deputy Moonman said:
Jones would have been adjusting it for campaign.
Here's an interview with one of the two guys that worked on Halo 1 multi:

Didn't you listen to the Sparkcast with Jaime Griesemer that someone posted when you brought this up? He specifically said that someone changed it with multiplayer in mind because he was 'horrified' with what he played, so he doubled the damage and made it so they couldn't change it back (at least what they could realistically change at that point). Coinciding with Urk's statement, and it was probably Jones.
Total side note: How are you still a Junior?!

I was amazed when I heard that people actually manually push out updates and content to Xbox Live instead of an automated system.

I wouldn't stay up if you're waiting on the gametype.Steelyuhas said:I was amazed when I heard that people actually manually push out updates and content to Xbox Live instead of an automated system.

We're going to hold back the gametype for a bit to ensure that the update is going out smoothly to everyone.

No, I don't listen to podcasts anymore. I fall asleep halfway into th*zzzzzzzzz*. Last one I listened to was the last Bungie podcast.
Seriously though, I had to stop after everyone started doing 2-3 hour podcasts. I had to edit a podcast once and it started running 4 hours for each episode almost. I had to put my foot down and force them to exert some directorial control.
T-minus one hour until I can run my test(s)

I didn't mean tonight, but sometime today (21st).
I'm certainly not staying up tonight haha, about to give up on this absolutely staggering pile of notes.
Return to Forever at the Greek Theater was amazing tonight, and Zappa plays Zappa opened for them, and they were amazing as well. Nearly 4 hours of fantastic music. Oh, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was there to introduce and send off RtF. He made the band members look like children lol.
I was doing this ear cup thing my dad taught me and it makes the sound so crisp and clear, even when you are way in the back. A couple people looked at me like I was an idiot with my hands cupping my ears for most of the concert, but a few of them shyly tried it and saw the light.
Also, ne0ism, you only should have clipped that snipe through the stairs instead of that whole game. It was pretty boring overall, and sadly that is what most amazingly long sprees look like, slow and methodical with blains and long range Rifle kills against clueless BK's. I liked the snipe through the stairs because it was unique and funny. Not trying to talk shit, because I got a 30+ kill spree earlier today in BTB and it was the same style, except there wasn't a sniper so it was even more boring, just me cross-mappin' BK's for like 12 mins. Maybe I'm just salty because I died in my game lol.
EDIT: NO ONE READS EDITS LOL

True enough lol.
His gif is titled 'snow explosion' though. Sounds epic.
Deputy Moonman said:Podcasts are pretty long. What tests are you planning on running?
LAN related mostly. I was originally going to fire a bunch of weapons at a wall right before the TU and then do it again afterwards, but now we know that these are all Megalo hooks that have to be dropped in.
I'll also be running tests comparing playing co-op on a flash drive versus the HDD. Might need help for that one.

I'm trying to see no campaign footage anymore. I know that it will be hard. But the levels "Halo", "Assault of the Control Room" and "Two Betrayels" deserve it to experience without any footage to be seen.Letters said:
Btw. this year we'll be able to say, that a ten years old game will be being our goty

That...is...FUCKING AWESOME
I posted the exact time to start listening to the podcast for the Pistol discussion, it was only like 3 mins you needed to hear. Stop posting about it until you listen to it. It will take you less time to listen to it than it did to go look up some barely relevant article that doesn't refute or challenge what is said on the podcast.FyreWulff said:

Booshka said:
I posted that article because it's an interesting article, not to refute you or anything (it doesn't even talk about the pistol). They talked about the pistol in the Bungie Podcast right before the beta, the Sparkcast (I'll take your word for it) has a slightly different story, and the the Urk post says not even Bungie can agree internally on why. Whether it was OP because it couldn't be changed at the last minute or because Jones suddenly decided to put himself on the MP team isn't really going to change anyone's opinion on the gun at this point.

With GoW3 just being released, and Skyrim and Skyward Sword on the horizon (and obviously the TU and CEA disc), the second half of this year is quite impressive.FyreWulff said:

Haha this thread. Has the TU been sighted, yet? I'm at work. Also, once the custom game type/s are available sometime over the next 24-48 hours, is there going to be 24/7 gaf customs? Hopefully there are enough people to get multiple groups going. Should be fun. I still can't see how a 15% reduction in bloom will be significant enough to notice, though. I'll have to wait and see.
Yes, please.TheOddOne said:
