Thank you

Used to do Trials type maps on Farcry on the xbrick, always a pain but a welcome change of pace at times.

Don't let all the hubbub intimidate you, it's not that difficult. I did the full thing in just a few tries.

Yep. That and the Turf/Terminal mentions he and Max had at the Multiplayer panel made for a very interesting time.

I wish he'd come back to GAF and post again. I asked him about how frustrating it must be to be the scapegoat on the forums, he and Jeremiah really do get unfairly trashed quite often. He joked about the impending forum meltdown that would happen when people associate him with CEA/Reach playlist management. He told me he's not the person in charge of playlists, making the map/gametype decisions. He's working on the TU more than anything, but some people won't understand that.

This is why I made sure to make it a point to thank him for his work on Halo 3 MM and ATLAS in person.

Also he answered everything about FW Lockout. Turns out that the waterfall area on Forge World was specifically carved out for Lockout.

Assuming the change between campaign and mp in Anniversary is seamless, the game will be breaking some new ground when it comes to xbox 360 game IDs huh?? I think it's the first time a single game will provide achievements for 2 different games on xbl servers, or that game will use another's install file as dlc. Wouldn't mind a future Bulletin dedicated to talking about this sort of thing, it kinda fascinates me.

Are you crouch jumping? That's the only way to get up on a few of them.

I would have sent you an invite if I had known. I played a couple games of Reach with Bobs (and was doing really well), and then we switched to Halo3, where I did really badly, lol.

My team slayer games starting horribly this afternoon. I think 90% of my deaths were to power weapons and my first 2 games consisted of teams doing some hardcore camping and armor locking. I thought to myself, "oh noes my streak of days enjoying the team slayer playlist has come to an end!" But things got better and then my last game with Bobs was highly satisfactory. Going to sleep before work tonight. If I get up soon enough, I'll play a few more games.

14 kills with the pistol? Why yes, thank you.

Yeah. Do you think Toggle Crouch has anything to do with it?
Click to expand...
Maybe. I dunno, I don't see how people can play with that anyway. Make sure Clench Protection is off. It'll give you crazy input lag when crouching.

Haha, I starting using it in Halo 3 for sneaking around easier, and I guess I just stuck with it.

But I will try without Toggle Crouch and I believe Clench Protection is already off, but I'll double check.

This.

Also go to forge so you can keep practicing if you fall off, saves alot of time compared to if you were restarting the map each time you fail.

Wow. This thread is full of love today. You have contests out the ass then you have good old David with that post. Halogaf has to be the most generous group of people I've met on the net besides maybe HBO members. Course I consider them adopted Halogaffers. lol

Any idea on how many hours time? Is it early PST at the moment? Ill porbably be sleeping in the next few hours please hand them out within the next 3 hours. :p

I am catching up on the Halofest stuff, and I am LOVING the Bungie panel, I am going to miss that crowd talking about Halo, tear.

Loved the voice over panel, was hilarious. 343 are going to have some fun times ahead of them in the recording studio if they keep the same cast.

It will be within the next 3 hours. Probably won't hand them all out today. Have a couple meetings so it's probably 2 hours or so from now.

No, I mean random headshots. One of the complaints about bloom is that it is possible (albeit rare) for someone to ignore any kind of pacing and spam out a lucky headshot. If the bloom is reduced by 15%, then there is a greater chance that the spammer will get a lucky headshot, no?
Click to expand...

I knew what you meant straight away. And it's exactly why i'd rather see a four shot, zero bloom DMR with a slightly reduced rate of fire than different percentiles of bloom. We know they can adjust rate of fire and number of shots to kill. Bloom, whatever percentage, is still bloom. Good thing is, multiple folks that had the privilege to experience the TU early have said that zero bloom as it is worked really well so maybe it'll be fine without ROF adjustment.

If the damage is the same it would still be a bit slower than previous games where 4 headshots would down a guy, wouldn't it? Since it would be 5 in this game?

If memory serves... and it may not lol... a certain Bungie employee posted regarding the kill time of the 5 shot DMR in Reach being 1/10 of a second longer than the 4 shot BR from H3.

This was from back before I was accepted and when I lurked from time to time... so I could be wrong.
