I would like a link to TheBKCleansing.com on that HaloGAF.com site. Thank you very much.

In moderation. When 100% of your cousins and aunts and uncles drink just Dr Pepper every day because grandma made all of her hams and other dinners with Dr Pepper, you start to get sick of it. Then Mr Pibb came out, and all was well. Now they died or something. They only sold Pibb Xtra and after that I haven't seen it since around here.
edit: and wikipedia results in TIL that Coca Cola owns Pibb, and apparently still makes it. Either way, Pepsi runs better contests than either Coca Cola or Cadbury/Schweppes

Who got live banned again? He or his twin brother? Funny times.
besides obvious misuse of the word apart, i would like his sad, sad mustached-faced to read this blog on the correct use of alot. and then any other grammar site to understand why he'll never get a job if he keeps spelling and typing sentences like that.

Just popping in and say that I'm really digging Halogaf.com. Good job to anyone involved!
In more Halo-related news, I played Reach for the first time since October or something. Downloaded the Anniversary Maps and I'm really liking what I've played so far. Ridgeline is by far my favorite.

Nice job with the site! You should add people's Twitter accounts next to their gamertags. (Probably best for people to opt-in for that, even though most Twitter accounts are public.)

Oh snap, HaloGAF.com? We're in the big leagues now. Wait till my coworkers at Wendy's hear about this!
But seriously, great job, Duncan. I might contribute a bit.

This is the Citizen Kane of bunkbed movies.
Reminds me we didn't meet
ps: Biodome hotel was amazing.
Shit you're right.
Next year for sure.
And yea, Gaylord Palms Resort is fucking amazing. I stood in the holiday inn down the road though lol
Ohh snap, I'm mentioned on the site. Greatest site ever.
Well, the sooner they show stuff, the harder it is not to show too much by the time the game ships.
Oulala. Stop this, stop this now, those voices make me mad.
I'll kill you off.
Fix Firefight Doubles, don't delete the damn thing. It holds a valuable place in the FF lineup. Just make it all DLC required (riff raff can roll in Arcade) and slot in Installation 04 as the first voting option (leave all 8 voting rounds in place).
Bam.
It's the only FF playlist I touch any longer, and if it's gone and replaced with what you suggest I'd almost never play Firefight - or Reach online - again.

It'd essentially be Firefight Doubles but DLC centric, and with more variants.
Exactly.
This can be accomplished without deleting the rest of the playlist. Unearthed is good in limited contexts (as is I04), but I'm very weary of it and the DLC maps are not enough to sustain a playlist. Make I04 the first round option, overhaul the game types, and I'd agree with the proposal.
I'm all for new game types, though. I wish I could play more I04, but I got bored on it in my first game, due to the game type. Played it to death already, and changing the geometry isn't enough. The frustrating part is, changing the game type is the easy part, and they're not doing it.
Perfect time to plug my new blog*: http://lumberismurder.tumblr.com/

K, then make the rest of the maps optional, so Anniversary disc players still have an FF co-op list, while everyone else gets all the normal maps. But then again, there isn't an FF achievement tied to Anniversary anyway, so the Anniversary list isn't required to exist anyway.
Either way, it feels heavily redundant to have both FF Arcade and FF Arcade On One Map. Of course, this would depend on disc maps being able to be marked optional..

Problem is, we arnt getting a VGA trailer which means unless they debut on their own time we likely wont see anything till superbowl 2012 and even thats a long shot since all bets are off at this point.
Early 2012
Super Bowl XLVI - February 5th, 2012 (Indianapolis, IN, USA)
GDC - March 5th, 2012 ~ March 9th, 2012 (San Francisco, SA, USA).
CeBIT - March 6th, 2012 ~ March 10th, 2012 (Hannover, Germany).
GDC Expo - March 7th, 2012 ~ March 9th, 2012 (San Francisco, SA, USA).
PAX East - April 6th, 2012 ~ April 8th, 2012 (Boston, MA, USA)
Mid 2012
E3 Expo - June 5th, 2012 ~ June 7th, 2012 (Los Angles, CA, USA).
GDC Europe - August 13th, 2012 ~ August 15th, 2012 (Unconfirmed!) (Cologne, Germany).
Gamescom - August 15th, 2012 (Press only) | August 16th, 2012 ~ August 19th, 2012 (Everyone) (Cologne, Germany).
Superbowl TV spot would be good but $2million is Alot, if its anything like starry night it cant be cheap to produce either.
GDC is typically about technology more than games, and talks from devs ect
CeBIT is Technology and IT based
GDC Expo is just the open floor section of GDC
PAX East could be something, Halo and PAX have had pretty good relations in the past but PAX prime is normally the big one.
Unless we get something by PAX East its going to be June before we get anything and thats VERY unlikely. Im thinking either superbowl or a 2012 media storm starting in january on 343i Time.
Marketing trail needs to be huge. Halo 4 concept art video barely over .5 mil. Shit needs to be 3 times as much. Unacceptable. It's Halo 4 man, blow this shit up. Call up South Park and do a Halo episode. *gasp* I got it. Christmas day the NBA season starts. Huge, big market games on National TV. Christmas games are always huge and being that it's the first day of the season, it would be great to run a Halo 4 teaser.
I like the way you think. a Christmas day advert would be massive.

While I agree to a certain extent, they were the ones invited to play-test it ages before it came out, and they were the ones whose tips would be taken into consideration.
So 343, while developing Halo 4, just don't fucking listen to MLG.
Do we know the extent to which Bungie listened to MLG and if Bungie listened at all?
Getting a story trailer before Primordium may not be the sensible thing to do if it spoils its revelations.
Something VGA before Christmas sounded reasonable though, but I'm content if Waypoint gets a treat before 2011 is over.
EDIT : also Anniversary and the Terminals is just better than a VGA trailer.

I remember answering some of these questions.. but not all. Was the noob survey updated while I was AWOL?
Anyways:
Are you a very recently approved member of neogaf? Not anymore (three years approved).
What country are you posting from and what's your current age. Currently 20 posting from France. I'm 'often' in the US and spent some time in Norway, hence the tri-flag avatar.
At what age did you get into Halo and with which game. I got an Xbox with Halo and Halo 2 at Christmas '04 when I was 13. I started playing Halo from launch at friends houses though (when I was 10).
For how long have you been reading HaloGAF? Since May '08, came over from HBO.
What's your absolute favorite Halo campaign? And your favorite multiplayer? (you're not allowed to pick Halo: Combat Evolved for any of the two) Not allowed to pick CE? (cause that would be my pick for both..). SP: ODST / MP: Halo 2 (dem maps!)
Highest Halo 3 level and which playlist. 47 in TD
AR or BR? BR
Absolute favorite multiplayer map from Combat Evolved, Halo 2 and 3 (just one from each). Damnation, Lockout (Midship and Sanctuary are close seconds), and The Pit (had Citadel been a launch map...)
Least hated Reach mp map.(excluding Anniversary pack) Countdown
Do you prefer BTB or MLG? (pre-Reach era) MLG
Competitive multiplayer or Firefight? Competitive MP
Games completed on solo Legendary. All of them. Multiple times. (yes, MLG guys can also love playing the campaigns).
Are you EazyB? Mike DongBlain? Of course not.
What are some of your favorite Campaign missions. H1: Halo-Two Betrayals (including The Library <3), H2: Outskirts/Delta Halo/Regret, H3: Crow's Nest/The Covenant
Favorite Reach playlists. SWAT (dat DMR!), (and now) MLG and the Anniversary playlists
Size of frankie erotica folder (in megabytes). Two 2TB external HDDs
Opinion on reticule bloom. Fun in some games, just not Halo. Get rid of it.
Opinion on Armor Abilities and the one you usually end up picking. (see above) Sprint. Pickup powerups >>> loadouts. Screw jetpack and SCREW Armor Lock
Why are you a Halo fan? Love the mythos, the visuals, the music, the competitive aspect, the community, ...
Favorite Halogaffer, and least favorite (besides Dax). (optional) option taken
Now feel free to introduce yourself and/or share anything you want so we get to know you better, some of us would enjoy reading it. (optional) I'll think of something up, but it's finals time right now (which is why I'm never online and haven't even finished my playthrough of Anniversary...)
