I guess I just fail to see how drastically reworking the worst level in the entire series to make it be fun (I'd replace or offset bad Pure Form combat with tentacle setpieces), giving the level (and in turn, the entire game) some sort of story consequence, and making the game's main villain (cause it sure wasn't the bastardized Truth) more than just a voice and some cutscene tentacles would be more annoying than having to listen to the same inconsequential VO line every time. Those seem like good things. Cortana's dialogue was fine, but it led up to nothing. She spit out a line saying she was fine, we walked away. If that was the purpose of Gravemind's dialogue, it utterly failed, because it had zero context in the story.PsychoRaven said:What you suggest would be 100 times more annoying then a few seconds of dialog while everything going on is slowed down. The dialog given showed that she was in need of our help. Gravemind's dialog was again trying to screw with our heads. It was awesome.
We'll just have to agree to disagree because obviously we're a million miles apart on this.

Striker said:I think a lot goes by name. Team Slayer gets most popularity, and it's by far the worst in terms of AA options and map selections (hello Enclosed, Synapse, other crap, etc.).
Would've been better if they had not tried to resolve it by the end of the game. Make her seem fine on the surface, but make her twitchy. Obviously Halo 3 wouldn't be the last Halo game, so Bungie would've been safe in doing this. Thankfully it seems that Halo 4 will deal with Cortana's rampancy, by all indications.Havok said:I guess I just fail to see how drastically reworking the worst level in the entire series to make it be fun (I'd replace or offset bad Pure Form combat with tentacle setpieces), giving the level (and in turn, the entire game) some sort of story consequence, and making the game's main villain (cause it sure wasn't the bastardized Truth) more than just a voice and some cutscene tentacles would be more annoying than having to listen to the same inconsequential VO line every time.

I'm from Spain and can't even think of a word like that, are you sure it is a spanish word?ncsuDuncan said:Does anyone in here speak Spanish?
I'm trying to find a word that starts with "DRINO-", "DRING-", "DRINC-", or "DRINQ-".
Google hasn't been very helpful since I have no idea how long the word really is. The only thing I've found is that "drino" is a "kind of venemous serpent". That's fine, but I just wanted to make sure there weren't other words that would fit.
If it helps, it's part of a bigger term on a map: "PUERTO DRIN-??"

ncsuDuncan said:Puerto is Spanish for Port, is it not? It definitely looks like a port city/town on this map. I was just trying to figure out what the "DRIN-??" could be.
Alexandria translates to Alejandrino, that could be it...
I just wanted to make sure there wasn't some obvious Spanish word that fit "Puerto Drin-".
This is less off-topic than it seems.
GhaleonEB said:Another benefit of having a planned trilogy this time around is 343 can (hopefully) sign actors for all three games from the outset rather than having to negotiate each contract separately, which can lead to changes between games.
I think it is just some random word put there after "PUERTO" which stands for port. It's definitively not spanish and I'm having a look at my brick-sized dictionary right now.ncsuDuncan said:Puerto is Spanish for Port, is it not?

Ah. Thanks!Gabotron ES said:I think it is just some random word put there after "PUERTO" which stands for port. It's definitively not spanish and I'm having a look at my brick-sized dictionary right now.
Also, Alexandria = Alejandría and Alejandrino = Alexandrine

It could simply be an untranslated foreign name (to the spanish cartographer)

people just call it update without title: "Actualizacion"FyreWulff said:Como se dice "title update" en espanol?
85% Bloom + slowmovement/sprint/AAs.. yay!!Ramirez said:Can't wait for the 4th to get some real discussion going on in here again.
Everyone agreeing Michael Wincott was the better Truth isn't much of a discussion. WE NEED SOMEONE TO DISAGREE, STAT!Ramirez said:Can't wait for the 4th to get some real discussion going on in here again.
I'm having more fun playing the terribly glitchy beta than I have in Reach for the last few months. It may be broken but at least its fun.StalkerUKCG said:Why is everyone defending BF3 god its awful. Hype KILLED
If it looks like Battlefield, sounds like Battlefield and plays like Battlefield then its freaking Battlefield. Dunno what people where expecting.StalkerUKCG said:Why is everyone defending BF3 god its awful. Hype KILLED

Letters said:people just call it update without title: "Actualizacion"
"Actualizacion de Titulo" would be the proper translation
What were you expecing from the BF3 beta?StalkerUKCG said:Why is everyone defending BF3 god its awful. Hype KILLED.
Bring on new maps and some zero bloom matchmaking i promise i wont complain again.
Also "High Noon" is a horrible map, So glad we are getting a proper remake with CE:A

I'm guessing it's just weird lag shenanigans but it seemed to surprise both me and the assassin.

Thanks a bunch.
FyreWulff said:People look beyond names. Social Slayer outpopulated Team Slayer all the time in Halo 3, so if you make Team Slayer ranked in Reach people will go looking for the unranked Slayer-only playlist and now you're back at square one with The Arena with a playlist with low population and no guests, just with a new name.
Social Slayer was definitely a dominating force in Halo player population.
MM was worse in the last game, notably the playlist decisions. Arena has some issues atm, but it's far better than what it's been since launch. Did they even change anything in Halo 3 ranked TS?thee henery said:MM and playlist management is something that needs a radical overhaul for Halo 4 after the disparate mess that is Reach's mm.
