We got some of this in the marketing leading up to the game's release with the live action commercials featuring Reach civilians. It would have been very cool to see it in the game instead. I generally don't like when game marketing doesn't show off the actual game. Live action shorts are cool to look at, but I'm not playing those.

Oh, very likely that I'll still bitch about Reach post-TU. I have a feeling that in between delivering fantastic Halo1 (3shot pistol) and haloReach (armor abilities) experiences, and in order to not have too many playlists, they won't be including the Halo 2 experience I personally truly crave (bloomless DMR starts , no AAs, fast movement, high jumps) using all great maps that will be at their disposal.Tashi0106 said:

We just tried that and failed miserably.
I didn't pay much attention, but I thought that was the chief half of FUD in the Halo 4 concept!! :O
A separate functional ship and all that it contains means ARs, BRs, marines and warthogs all over the place!! WOOOOOOOOOO

You won't be allowed to brag about shitting on anyone in a game of bloomless Reach or Halo 4, I'll interpret that as Bloom sucks and bring out the wall of quotes.Tashi0106 said:
just teasing ya <3
ONI is a good quick level. You can skip the first battle, use the target locator on the next, drive to the next two and hit the buttons while barely killing anyone, the plow through to the end. I can do it in around 20 minutes solo, and that's killing everyone. Blowing past should get you to 9 in co-op.BlueScrote said:
First of all, LOL @Fyrewulff saying strafing is silly and pointless. I'm still waiting for him to say that's not what he meant and correct himself. Then again, I suppose strafe is pointless when you have an AR.
On that note, who was that person from HaloGAF who posted their stats which showed an AR obscenely high on their ToD?
Second, Fuck you Tashi for getting power back... Tomorrows my last day in this house... What a shitty last week its been. Fuck Irene.

I talked at some length about this to Ghaleon, but I tried rereading "Ghosts of Onyx" during my flight to PAX, and I can't get into his writing anymore.Hypertrooper said:
But I love Kevin Grace's writing style. I'm seriously hoping 343 will grant him the time and money to write a full-length Halo novel.
I borrowed "Cryptum" from a friend, so I'll start reading that this weekend.

Enjoy the ride. As a non-native english guy I had my problems at the beginning but the book ends really awesome like Halo 2. I hope Amazon will ship Primordium faster this time. I waited for Cryptum nearly two months... :/Hitmonchan107 said:
And I support the idea that Kevin Grace should write a book. Maybe he should write an extra book for Halo 4 Limited and Legendary Edition like Dr. Halsey's Diary.
I'm so jealous that you talk to him. I blame myself I had the chance so many times. Next year I hope I'll have the chance again.

I'm watching the Halo Anniversary Panel for the first time (was on my flight to Seattle when this was happening) and David just said mid to late September.
Although, if I'm hearing this right, we won't actually be able to try the features of the TU until early October when the beta hopper goes up.

Mr. Grace was surprisingly easy to talk to. He had an intimidating aura of stress about him, but once we got to talking, he and I talked at length about his life before 343. Very interesting man.Hypertrooper said:
Also, I loved talking to Pete Stacker after the Universe panel. He blew my mind when he told me he was the voiceover for Comedy Central.

No Halo for me tonight, fellas. Hopefully I'll get in some time over the long weekend and see if anyone wants to do the Banshee run/Pelican flight in campaign. This old man needs his beauty sleep.
Are the Halofest panels not up on the Waypoint 360 app, or am I just blind (which is absolutely possible)? I wanted to watch the Anniversary Campaign panel in HD since I missed it, and I'd rather not suffer through it on my awful PC.
On a side note, that app has made quite a jump in quality since the last time I used it, maybe early last year. Much, much faster than I remember.

Pete Stacker and Tim Dabado are both awesome guys. PAX Moment #3235: After my failed attempt to take part at the GAF Breakfast Duncan spotted me and we went to the convention hall. On the way Tim greeted us and asked if we knew when Bungie panel starts. It was an awesome moment. Right now I have the opinion everyone who works on Halo loves the franchise. <3Hitmonchan107 said:
Btw. I sat with Tim and Pete Stacker in a cab. BEST GAMING MOMENT IN REAL LIFE EVER!

Yeah it was pretty cool when Tim Dadabo recognized us on the street a day after the Universe panel. You could really tell he was excited to be at HaloFest, I got a kick out of the Guilty Spark pic he had ironed onto the back of his shirt.

PAX gave me a new perspective in 343 as a studio. I love that it's not just a studio of Halo fans. These are truly talented people who earned their place in the company.
Hearing their stories about getting in the industry made me realize I have many years in my life to get where I want to be, and that where I want to be is a job and not a company.

Don't feel bad. I was in such a teenage anti-establishment "fuck the system" rage all through highschool that I skipped every photo day and never entered a quote in the yearbook. There's literally nothing but a picture of a suitcase (like I was traveling) and an empty space above my name for people to remember me by. Such a dweeb move.

Never really understood why they distanced themselves so much from h1, when you consider people who've played all still list it as the most balanced and fun.
Also I was thinking about other FPSes I've played and compared to most of them, Halo is slow, which I'm not saying is a bad thing, it worked for the series. Reach however straight up stalls whether with bloom or AAs. I don't think anyone (other than Bungie apparently) wanted Halo to play any slower, it was perfect.

You can do nightfall in 6 minutes with a very simple glitch. If you know how to board a vehicle and exit, that's the glitch.

Never thought I'd say this, but I might go back to Halo 3. The beta was fantastic, I adore the campaign, but Reach multiplayer and matchmaking is a miserable pile of crud. Maybe Anniversary will bring me back. Melee, spawns, veto, Forge World maps, lack of new maps (that you can actually play)...it's utter misery.
So how is Halo 3 these days?

Laggy as ever.
Narrow/zoomed camera sucks in comparison to Reach's wide one, but other than that it's pretty fantastic as long as you're spawning with a BR, it's good old Halo fun and for now it's still finding games fast. Lag complaints are exagerated, I don't know about btb but most of the 4v4/5v5 games I play everyone is green bars and the bullets actually feel like they're doing damage and not just melting into the enemy's suits and disappearing like in Reach when there's a hint of lag.soldat7 said:
