Yeah, I'm maintaining hope.
Oh wait, I'm supposed to be going into media blackout. CONFLICTING URGES.

Sadface. My legendary box took damage in the move. I have no idea how the hell this even happened 
As mentioned earlier, still have my copy of the best version of the EGM Halo 3 issue. I thought about attempting to bring it to HaloFest to be signed but didn't think it would survive the plane.

Don't worry, you can buy a new one for 15 bucks.
Yea, if he can find one. They're super rare. I think they only made a few thousand.
haha that sale was for the limited version, not legendary

What's the outside made of?
So guys, I think I've come to the conclusion that BF3 is Modern Warfare with vehicles, especially based on the PC version.
I distinctly don't remember dying in a heartbeat that often in BFBC2. I really liked Battlefield, why did they have to make it so much like MW??
Also, Reach statue is for desk, best place for it
Sorry Juices, just trying to warn people about 'shit ass games' so they don't leave the goodness of donging BKs.

Please do not discuss shit ass games in the Halo Reach thread. This is a place for good things, like donging with DMR's, Pistols, Shitting on kids, Pooping on tryhards in Easy mode playlist- AKA MLG. Things of that nature.

Mantlepiece. Next to the MC helmet. Now if I only had a mantlepiece...
Why are you getting rid of yours, Cyren? Personally, I thought it was one of the best parts of my purchase.

I don't experience that at all from BF3. Had a few epic games today.
You're telling me you don't experience dying the second you start taking damage?
Epic doesn't really have anything to do with the speed at which you can die.
I am not a fan of dying before I can do anything to save myself. My finger can't even reach the prone button sometimes before I'm dead. Its literally an intake of breath, and you are dead.
I guess I just don't like it, and I preferred BFBC2.

You die a bit faster than BC2, but not by much in my opinion. I get out of situations alive where someone starts shooting me quite frequently for a military shooter.
The epic games comment was just I played a few games of BF3 today, not really about your statement lol.
Maybe I'm just remembering BFBC2 poorly, because I don't think I died that fast in that. I'm sure there were plenty of exasperated sighs in BFBC2 as well where I got mowed down without any recourse.
Oh well, wasn't a fan of military shooters before BF3, still not really.
I'm with you, brother. Had that same feeling and just didn't really care for the flow of games.

The hell are you smoking? Battlefield 3 is nowhere close to MW3, kill times are a bit faster but not Call of Duty fast. I really don't see how any sane person who has played both games could even make that comparison.
Is there really a difference between dying in .5 seconds or .75 seconds?
A specific kill time doesn't really matter, dying without being able to do anything(most of the time) is what I am referring to.
Like I said before, dying in an intake of breath is too fast imo. I mean, I just went 27-9 in a round of CQ, most of the guys I killed couldn't do anything before they dropped; and the times I died, I couldn't do anything either (well except for running around that corner into the tank).
I mean, its a military-ass military shooter, I guess it is what I should expect.
edit: Spawning on squadmates is pretty much suicide most of the time, I rarely ever do it. Used to do it all the time in BFBC2. That fade in, bleh.

Yeah sounds like you're just not a fan of military shooters. So much of defending yourself is about positioning in a area/in or around an objective so that you don't find yourself getting shot from behind and such all the time.
If you are spawning on the squad that is your fault, there is supposed to be a huge risk when doing that. If you are talking about in general then that happens in every Battlefield game, you just get up and try again. Got killed by a sniper? Go shove a rocket up his ass when you respawn.

That's right, when we're in a group of four we can single handily dominate matches just through communication, something that is seriously lacking in BF3. But with randoms there's no way to really know if spawning on them will help you, just gotta keep an eye out on the minimap.
halo Mp achievements have never been good and really neither have and game MP achievements that require you to do a certain thing in MP. I mean MP achievements should only be either obtain a certain rank or find easter eggs.

Nope. Multiplayer achievements should not hoodwink the player into doing something bad. (Damn. That sentences was hard for me lol.)Multiplayer achievements should be banned.
What do I mean with this:
Player shouldn't change his behaviour for a achievement.
Good achievements are:
"Reach the Rank xy(=not the highest rank.)"
"Get a xy spree(=highest spree: Running Riot)"
"Kill xy(max. 20,000 Kills) in Multiplayer Matchmaking"
"Win xy matches"
etc.
Reach's DLC achievements are good examples, how MP achievements should not be. There are still better than Gears 3's Seriously 3.0 achievo.

What if we rephrased (and of course engineered) the achievement that requires someone to stick a flag carrier in an anniversary map to:
Be in a game were the flag carrier gets stuck on an anniversary map.
Much less frustrating, might encourage some teamwork by randoms?

The best MP achievements are worse than the worst campaign achievements. Keep achievements to campaign.
ElzarTheBam

Agreed, achievements for campaign and challenges or a challenge like system for multiplayer, so MP people can have certain goals that mimick achievements.

When is the Super Bowl? Didn't the Halo 3 ad come out early December 2006?
Feburary 5th also yes Halo 3's ad was aired in early December.

Plot is more or less important in different kinds of novels. The Road is mostly a (v. depressing) mood piece. It's meant to feel like a slog at times. You need that length and repetition to hammer home that jarring mix of constant boredom and constant terror that is McCarthy's vision of the apocalypse. That "almost nothing happens" is sort of the point. While it's far from his best book (that would be Blood Meridian or maybe Suttree), it's still pretty fucking good.
Edit: also, you should watch the movie now. It's one of the very few films I've seen that's as good as the book in its own way. Except for the addition of the dog at the end, which is inexcusable.
2 Halo 4 trailers with in 2 months? Would be awesome but never going to happen.

VGA is a better place for a proper reveal aimed at fans, Super Bowl is where you'd see a short clip of random badassery.
So yeah, both.
Well while the VGAs would be the proper place to show a trailer the Super Bowl would probably be better in general. Again Call of Duty is in the spotlight now and having a Super Bowl ad again would give Halo some of that back again.
2 trailers would be amazing though, personally I just want to see something soon D:
(I also hope we see Destiny at the VGAs)

We'll be watching the movie in class within the next week or so. Looking forward to it.

Figured we wouldn't get nothing this year. Glad Frankie saved us the horror of having to watch the VGAs.
