Custom challenge stuff seems totally awesome. Playing around with that will pull me out of Skyrim at least for tonight.

 

[daedalius]

Obviously need to be friends with Ghaleon to get his sweet firefight challenges. Still not really sure how they work, bit limited?

Waypoint update looks awesome.

Watching Tashi melt faces.

I just came back from buying Anniversary.

What did I lose?

I didn't send it out, just stopped there until I find some answers. I want to test the waters today, but not until I know the scope of what I can tinker with.

Only being able to set a number for total medals, rather than specify which ones, limits Firefight Challenges significanly.

Looks like:

Kills: pick a number
Headshots: pick a number
Medals: pick a number
Kills of Enemy: select which enemy to target

Off to check Campaign ones.

[thezerofire]

i sent the challenge to you, can you see it on Reach at all?

I'm at work so I haven't looked yet

edit: wow Tashi, this is kinda embarrassing for the other team. How did you get the game already?

 

[Gabotron ES]

Barrow Roll is a pretty cool guy.

 

[FyreWulff]

You can only specific specific weapon kills for Customs or Campaign, but not Firefight MM or Multiplayer MM. Daw.

This may sound crazy to you but apparently english is not everybody's first language, crazy stuff eh?

Spoiler

Not nice from you dude :/

I think I fixed my mistakes, is the edit ok?

I was just teasing, sorry. Guess I should have put a smiley face there or something so it was a little more obvious.

I actually knew English wasn't your first language too. It's Spanish, right? But yeah, just jokes, didn't mean to offend.

 

[Gabotron ES]

Anniversary's packaging is pretty neat, it makes up for the lack of a special edition.

Lol no problem then bro, that's what happens when you take HaloGAF seriously.

Peace <3

Dammit! Im about to rob my gamestop.

 

[Kibbles]

So I see the custom challenges thing on Halo Waypoint. What's to stop people from just creating a bunch of easy challenges to complete and earn tons of credits?

Technically you bought an 11 pack then.

Yup. Me ->

Create one and you'll see.

500 Bugger kills with Legendary minimum difficulty and all skulls on is worth a whopping 5,000cR. Heh

Also, there's still a cR cap.

I don't see a specific weapon listed in that challenge. Perhaps I'm not reading it correctly.

We all know that you guys want to raise the use of the plasma pistole.


It feels so good to finish Halo without Warthog. SO good. Best mission ever.
Oh keep it clean, Dax01, I know I just want you guys to know that I nearly... you know I nearly did that naughty thing. So pretty that mission.

Just one sleep bro

Starting my first Halo CE playthrough in 30 minutes, whole new experience to me.
Heroic would be the best choice right?

Yup, just a coincidence that a weekly that encourages you to use roughly pistol sized weapons runs during the same week Anniversary comes out with a gametype with a 3 shot kill pistol. :lol

Wait a second? Plasma pistol is a 3 shot kill weapon now?

Tashi I booked you for this weekend. You must make a pro out of me.

 

[darthbob]

Is anyone else having issues signing into Halo Waypoint with their Live ID?

I sign in, and it does nothing. Hit sign in again, takes me to my Xbox LIVE account page.

wtf

Edit: Derp me. Went to a different page on the site, greeted with a nice 'Authentication is Offline' message. Well, thanks for letting me know now.

It's a one shot kill. For maximum skillz.

The Official Dutch Xbox Live Facebook account just posted:

''Still 1,5 hours to go, before Halo Anniversary releases! Who can't wait?''

75% Of the reactions consists of pure hate against the Halo franchise.

Here are some examples:

''Me! That's such a cool game...not''

''F**k Halo, I prefer Infinity Wards most anticipated game ever! MW3 =D''

Halo Suuucks!

What a pricks.

 

[kittens]

The Skyrim thread moves to fast for it's own good. No one ever answers my questions! :-( Maybe yall can help:

Okay, so I had something really weird happen to me. I found a random dead sabre cat in the middle of a road, and after I looted it it started glowing and made a REALLY loud explosion sound. The glow lingered for a few moments but eventually faded. Was that some kind of trap? It didn't seem to hurt my HP...

Maybe it just alerts enemies to my presence? IDK.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Feeling the same thing. Probably for the best though, I have a FAT amount of work that needs to get done in the next two days. So naturally, I've been watching Tashi's stream for the past hour...

 

[TheOddOne]

Cleansed?

Cleansed.

Awesome.


Awesome.

halo.xbox.com is running sooooo slooooow

Do custom challenges appear in game so those that i challenged know what the challenge is? Or do they have to accept it via the website?

 

[Havok]

Yeah, halo.xbox.com stopped working at all for me. To be expected, I guess.

 

[lybertyboy]

It's all handled outside of the game so you'll want to keep a web connected device nearby to check up on your progress.

The Big Daddy was in the last Simpsons episode.

I'm talking about John Madden.

What's the context of the statues?

 

[ElRenoRaven]

What's the context of the statues?

E3 parody. I feel dirty cause I actually watched an episode for once.

 

[TheOddOne]

What's the context of the statues?

The Simpsons went to E4, it was before they entered the building.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

E4? *kuroyume-style roll eyes*

How was the episode? Any clever criticism/humour?

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Woah, when did the Waypoint update go live. So far it looks awesome.

 

[Barrow Roll]

What's the context of the statues?

The episode parodied E3 and the Nintendo WiiU with "E4" and the "Funtendo ZiiZu."

Remarkably clever, I know.

 

[A27_StarWolf]

The Simpsons went to E4, it was before they entered the building.

Must watch.

 

[TheOddOne]

E4? *kuroyume-style roll eyes*

How was the episode? Any clever criticism/humour?

It was pretty tame. Mosly jokes about names: Grand Theft Scratcy, Mapple, Gamestation, YBOX, Electronic Crafts, Shaun White: Time Snowboarder, Dig Dug revelations, Terrance Malik's Tree of Life Online (I Laughed), Assassins Creed: Summer of Love, Guts of War 2, Marching Band.

The rest of the episode was about the Mom trying to be fun-cool-mom for the kids. Homer felt left out and then it goes downhill.
