Next they play Color of Honor

Nope, they're slow on updating the open bracket, they actually just played Color of Honor and won (I think 2-1, not sure though,) now they move on to Round 5 where they play Shaded.

 

[Tashi]

We just beat them Napsta, 2-0. Now it gets real tough. All the teams from here on out are higher seeds. Gotta play our hardest.

Also, congrats on going gold. To make it even sweeter, lol, it's Tsquared birthday. Hahahaha. Gonna try to find where his birthday party is at tonight lol.

 

[The Real Napsta]

It says you 2-1 them on the bracket. Weird.

EDIT: They fixed it. 2-0 now.

 

[ncsuDuncan]

Hey 343, in splitscreen, if I was to press the back button, would both my screen and my brother's screen switch?

From what I've heard, yes.

I don't think you have to be using the same visuals in online co-op though.

 

[Tha Robbertster]

Yeah

A very good place for an event would be Maastricht; very close to the Belgian border and to the German one too! And ofcourse located in the country with the legal weed :lol

 

[kylej]

So what's the CE framerate now that it's gold? Locked 30? Please no Not Enough Resources™ Love, Bungie™ nonsense, I need that game to be smooth as silk.

give em the D, Tash.

 

[The Real Napsta]

They play (or have played) (32) Shaded next.

 

[Tashi]

We lost. I suck

:^( You did well, Tashi. GermanHaloGAF is proud.

Shit happens man, LBR5 is very good for your first event, just gotta shrug it off and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

 

[A27_StarWolf]

You don't suck. That's poppycock.

 

[Gabotron ES]

You did well Tashi, you should be proud.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

We're doing a European tour to show off the game next week. The Anniversary copies are either staying in a lockbox of some sort, or I'm going to make DennIs keep them on his "person" when not in the test kits.

Can he resist the finest the French have to offer? I think not.

Congrats on going Gold. Glad I predicted that it would be the third week of October correctly.

We lost. I suck

Oy! None of that now sir! You did awesomely.

 

[KevinRo]

First event? It gets easier the more events and you get use to it. Furthest I was netted me only 3 points. Don't worry about it. Everyone knows how you feel right now lol

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Yesterday: 2500 credits / I need some ammo: Beat a campaign mission with famine skull on. Heroic +
Today: 2000 credits / Sronger Harder: Beat a campaign mission with famile tough luck and thunderstorm on. Heroic+

Challenge system still has some kinks in it.

LBR5 is not bad for first event Tashi. Practice a lot more and you could get to the end or make it into the real bracket. I just noticed sometimes your streams are like an hour or two long, thats not really enough.

 

[Tashi]

Thanks guys.

And I just found out I could save money by driving to Providence instead of flying. Thinking about doing it. Gotta work out the financials.

Also, fuck Countdown Slayer. Wow, fuck that gametype.

So many what ifs running through my mind right now but I'm pround of our performance. We played hard and lost to good kids with higher seeds. Each loss was super close and could have gone either way.

 

[Gabotron ES]

Only a few hours till the Anniversary talk starts.

O.T: Fuck Yeah!

 

[Woorloog]

Did Bungie really claim "not enough resources" about Reach framerate drops?

 

[The Librarian]

Did someone make a new thread for the Anniversary achievements?

 

[ncsuDuncan]

Does anyone have advice for improving a map's frame rate? I'm working on my crazy 1-flag Breakpoint variant and I can't pin down the exact problem.

 

[MrBig]

Don't think there's ever been a thread for achievements. Not really worthy of one.

Avoid objects that have real-time shadows, which Breakpoint has a lot of iirc. Definitely don't have more than 3 or 4 visible within range on screen at once.

 

[FyreWulff]

Depends. Does it only happen in Forge, or in single-screen in the actual gametype?

Usually I go down the list:

1) Object count reduction
2) Maximize objects occluding other objects from main throughways
3) Check for and eliminate Z-fighting (will drop framerate)

Forge is more intensive since it's rendering all the editor objects.

There will be a new stuff today. Let's wait 4-5 hours and make a big thread.

New stuff as in an announcement?

Congrats on going Gold David, Frank and rest of the crew.

Can Halogaf get boxart inserts autographed by you guys (343 gaffers) after release?

 

[FyreWulff]

Halo Anniversary reveal: 343's new Forge World, now with less grey and fucking trees!

Entire game turns out to be made in Covenant Forge World(r)(tm)

I'm surprised they haven't made a Lego/Mega Blok's set called "Forge World" yet.

I would pay for this.

 

[The Henery]

BTW, are there any HaloGaf folks near London, Madrid, Milan or Paris? Don't go and get too excited I'm just curious.

Near enough. Come show the UK some love!

Well done on your tourney Tashi. That's completely respectable for a first run.

 

[lybertyboy]

Ok, that made me lol.

 

[A27_StarWolf]

Ok, that made me lol.

I don't know if it's possible... but I think it would be really cool if 343 included some of the upcoming viddoc's regarding HCEA on the game disk.

 

[lybertyboy]

It was discussed, but there wasn't enough disc space.

 

[MrBig]

It was discussed, but there wasn't enough disc space.

That's what the waypoint option built into the main menu is for

Is there going to be a behind the scenes?

There will be 3Behind the Scenes videos. Confirmed via last Sparkast.

 

[MrBig]

There will be 3BtS. Confirmed via last Sparkast.

Oh, forgot to listen to that. I'll play it while I'm arting, after the BF3 Q&A is over

 

[feel]

It was discussed, but there wasn't enough disc space.

What happened with the shotgun animation bug?

 

[darthbob]

I hope Waypoint integration will be smoother than Reach.

I can see why it wouldn't be able to, but still.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

It was discussed, but there wasn't enough disc space.

That's what a second disc is for silly. lol

 

[Hypertrooper]

Wow at IGoTurPistola and Orge 2. Damn. Instinct want revenge for the last time.

 

[Gabotron ES]

I forgot this, that's a really good feature.

Lol, don't even call that "Waypoint integration", such a joke.

 

[darthbob]

A second disc, plus the extra packaging might make them go over budget.

 

[kylej]

Chig almost getting goosed on the main stage. Emmmmmmmmmmmbarrassing.

 

[Gabotron ES]

David, when can we expect more info regarding Anniversary's european tour?

 

[Homeboyd]

Wow at IGoTurPistola and Orge 2. Damn. Instinct want revenge for the last time.

Is that pistola's GT? If so, I played a game with him last night. We got matched against a team of inheritor objective holders... He (and everyone else on my team) quit.

I was.. the last man standing.

Except, I wasnt standing much.

 

[Hypertrooper]

Damn. The moderation is really boring. Why did Puckett have to leave?

It's the tag, he is using in MLG ProCircuit. Otherwise I don't think that he played Reach last night, when he is in Orlando at the MLG event.

It isn't a public tour I think. Planned for Press. But I ain't sure.

Edit.: I hope 343i managed to get that 2nd Kinect feature working. I really want to use my Kinect again. :^) If not, I hope we will find out, what they planned.

Yeah I can't tell you whether or not I would think he would do that or not... Just that that tag was in my game.

Edit: Nvm, I had a "your" instead of "ur" in my game.

 

[kylej]

You played a game with a kid who swapped an I for an L or vice versa somewhere in the gamertag.

Pistola hasn't played since Thursday.
