Well see, the mind blowing factor comes in 2 places:

a) Aiming at the correct location where their jump will take them
and
b) knowing they are even going to jump in the first place.

It seems like once you commit to aiming up there, you're gambling a bit with your aim. Tashi, you blow my mind. That last snipe on that Halo Community Tournament will forever make we say wow.

Yes but it's a pretty safe situation. Usually when you do that, it's when a guy is trying to pass through a doorway or gap trying to stay alive. It's when they guy is coming around a corner or bend towards you that it becomes dangerous.

Also, which snipe are you talking about? I don't remember

That is very cool. As a famous and accomplished artists myself, who has created many masterpieces of proper good art, you can take that as a pro endorsement.

I have a few other things I am working on for my portfolio right now, but I will try to think of something to do.

Thanks, if you don't see me online I'm probably working on art ;) (that or spending time with my wife of course)

So, in a perfect world, how much damage should grenades do?

It should be enough that players actually have a reason to use them (and potentially take damage during the animation it takes to hurl them), but not so much that simply spamming them is an effective technique.

Thoughts?

Grenades can be just like how they are now but they need a longer fuse time.

Enough to take out your shields. No more, no less.

When they're as powerful as the one's in Reach they either need to have a longer fuse as wwm0nkey said, or we need faster movement speed to get away from them.

Should 343i include the ability to 'cook' grenades in Halo 4?
Click to expand...
I say no because detonating after bounce is a staple to how Halo grenades work. Cooking is unnecessary.

Who is the incompetent person in charge of the playlists? Started up Reach for the first time in awhile and the first thing I get is fucking Elite Slayer on Headlong. How is that fucking possible? Red team gets the Banshee and blue team gets fuck all - In Elite Slayer Covenant weapons do nothing to Banshees which means blue team is at a severe disadvantage! I quit when the score was around 50(them)-5(us) with most of the 50 kills going to the Banshee.

It blows my mind how fucking incompetent Bungie and 343 are at managing their own playlists. It doesn't take a genius to work out what a stupid fucking idea it is to still have the Banshee spawn on Headlong in Elite Slayer. Stupid, STUPID fucking decisions. My dog could manage the playlists better!

FUCK.

I still internally vomit whenever I have to play rockethog race in multi-team; its an fps, I want to shoot things, leave that wacky stuff to actionsack/its own playlist.

I know what you mean though. I remember reading a magazine article just prior to Halo 3's release which said something along the lines of 'Bungie's famously rigorous testing processes', eulogising their attention to the smallest jump on a map. See these days I could say that for Killa KC and the mlg testers; I couldn't for Bungie. Too many times in Reach (and Halo 3) I feel at a disadvantage from the beginning of the match just because of the colour of my spartans armour. Arena had the nerve to call itself a hardcore playlist when red team gets instant access to rockets and snipe (with jetpack). LOL!

On an unrelated note, I personally don't like this one nade bullshit. It's in anniversary classic when there's nothing classic about one nade. Also annoys me in koth multi-team. They take away the nade but have no problem with evade. psh

So since we're posting so much art today, I've got another piece I just finished up for my portfolio. Its not for Halo specifically, but I'd say its Halo-esque. I'm not going to deny I have a couple windows up of FUD up all the time, and the Halo Encyclopedia/Art of Halo 3 on my desk (of course there are other books as well, Darksiders artbook is also great ;) and Guildwars 2).

Havok suggested I post it, so here it is.

I think I need to make a picture of all of my artbooks sometime, my collection is getting pretty big.



Just want you to know how much I appreciate your galleries ;)



Yea, I think I get carried for the most part; I'm much better at art than I am at halo, haha (at least I like to think so).

Yeah, slow powerful grenades like in Halo 1, or fast "weak" grenades like in 2/3. Not the mix we have now. They had to make the grenades more OP because of sprint/jetpack/AL/evade... just more proof of how armor abilities screwed Halo MP.

Fake edit:

KidA Seven said:
Yeah, right now they're like a hybrid CE/3 nade. You either go Halo 2 & 3's way or you go CE nades. Having them powerful and having the fuse time of a Halo 3 nade makes them too powerful.

When I looked at this pic, I thought that the circle could be linked to the portal of Hang'em High. I know it is farfetched but the circle looks a bit distorted around a specific angular degree and that means it'd show the galaxy like the Hang'Em High's portal does. (Courtesy of Blue Ninja, Microsoft, CA etc)
 Otherwise you can just say that the circle isn't a circle but rather an ellipse. This would explain the distorted look. :) Like I said it is really farfetched.

Edit.: I forgot to say: You did impressive pics again, Blue Ninja. You are using the screenshot function of Reach, right? I'd like to see if you did the screenshots with a capture card.

Aye. I save 'em to an USB stick and extract them. I'd love to do some with a capture card, but that would require funds I currently don't really have.

I love the edge highlights that this and the other environmental pieces in your portfolio have. Reminds me a bit of Feng Zhu's Duke Nukem work
Do you keep a sketchbook on polycount or conceptart.org?

Last year one of the hosts was asking Don Mattrick for his gametag.

She gave him sex faces*, he was like "awwwwwwkward".

Not me. I did in past years when Bungie had stuff to show. Would have this year if 343 had something to show but they don't so I won't. Besides I'm watching UFC 140 on the 360 anyway tonight with family so I couldn't if I wanted to anyway which I don't.
