There's more than one mistake in that list.

Pretty sure they grabbed my job "title" from a Halopedia entry.

Why? Where did you grab it from?

I can't hold too much of a grudge with them for the list. It's been a confusing change for me anyway. I keep having to remind myself that Marty is on the other side of the fence now.

 

[wwm0nkey]

So Steam deals are going to be keeping me away from Halo for a bit lol

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Unless something changed, Marty still works at Bungie....

Yea. He is still at Bungie. IGN seems to be wrong like normal.

 

[CyReN]

It's a lot better then they had earlier, they combined 343/Bungie..

 

[thezerofire]

anyone have room for one more?

 

[Steelyuhas]

Uhhh we need to get Hoop Somuah on the podcast. With a name like that, he's sure to have some awesome stories to tell

Also what do I have to do to get the GT "Tashi" deleted so that I can scoop it up?

Send a check made out to cash to me. I'll pm you the address.

 

[Tawpgun]

Psst. Has anyone figured out the big secret in the Anni terminals?

Spoiler

The ship that crashed on the ring

If you haven't switched back to MySpace yet, join the HaloGAF group on Facebook (quote for the link).

You don't want to miss out on these steamy group chats. Sai can vouch for that.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Driving a Fedex truck must suck dick this time of year.

They don't let me drive no more, some disciplinary action bullshit for just doing my job.

 

[MrBig]

No tablet version of Waypoint for android :/

 

[Tunavi]

done

 

[Karl2177]

Good games to everyone I played with. I'm surprised my internet lasted as long as it did into Firefight. It finally died when I hit the credit screen(I'm glad it still rewarded me with credits).

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Late night FF possible MM.

Come shoot the shit please.

Whats the Holiday playlist going to be?

 

[The Librarian]

I think Zealot is the best remake of Midship I've ever played.

 

[Hypertrooper]

Even on twitter people asked me why I still play Reach. Crap. HaloGAF is going to hate me, but I like this game. I like the Anniversary playlists and I'd like to get my ass kicked in the MLG playlist.

Did Vic Deleon switch over?

Yep. He switched over.

There's quite a few who like reach on here, Zalin, Hydra, Me, I'm pretty Juices likes the game, Tashii, Wu and than there is one half of the mega lurker twins, Xand.

I'm pretty sure there is more but I have never seen them explicitly say they do.

Just stayed up all night playing Anniversary's campaign. Crazy good fun.

I like Reach.

 

[Gabotron ES]

I like Reach.

Me too, I have more fun playing it than 3 but that doesn't mean some aspects are broken.

A better playlist management would make it even better.

Hey, I like Reach too! That is, when I'm playing with friends. Alone, it can be pretty bad.

 

[Gui_PT]

Would we play this game nearly every day if we didn't like it?

Edit: The answer is no. Sure it depends if you're playing with people you like or not, but if you didn't like the game, you wouldn't still be playing it.

 

[Shake Appeal]

I like Reach, though I think it's a potentially frustrating game by design and it can swing from fun to infuriating in an instant. The TU/Anni updates are for the most part an improvement.

I do think I've enjoyed it less than Halo 3 on the whole, but that has a lot to do with most of my friends abandoning it and my playing it on my own too much.

 

[Striker]

Just think there could be Smashed in a ranked Slayer playlist, or putting Neutral Assault/Multi-Bomb on an asymmetric map in a Ranked Objective playlist, all because they wanted to do an "experiment."

Reach's playlist stuff hasn't been stellar, but it has been miles ahead of what they've done for Halo 3. I guess I just got spoiled by the stuff Ninja 0n Fire did in Halo 2, even without the tools Forge has enabled. I guess in a way it's good they didn't have that stuff, because it could have made maps/gametypes a lot worse or more of a sideshow. Outside the gaffe of the Banshee being left in Ascension Team Rifles, he did a pretty bang up job.

It's not that bad but there are lots of things that just doesn't make sense.

Evade is still there, there are lots of exploits which would have been easily fixed in Forge and Firefight is plagued with retarded gametypes.

My biggest problem with the game is by far the maps, please just have more/better launch maps for 4.

Whilst I don't mind remakes, they should be kept to a few, I much prefer 'spiritual remakes'.

One of the reasons is, I guess they taint my love/nostalgia that I experienced on them the first time round.

I was all for new maps until reach came out.

They need to include some solid remake maps on the Halo 4 disc so we have good maps guaranteed.

Midship plays every gametype well... just sayin'.

 

[Hey You]

Whats the Holiday playlist going to be?

Was a holiday playlist mentioned in the podcast?

 

[wwm0nkey]

Anyone want to do custom Mini-games today?

 

[feel]

I now pretend everything outside the MLG playlist doesn't exist, so I like Reach too.

Now we see eye to eye

We found Tashi's alt.

EDIT:^ ^^^ called it.

 

[User 73706]

Anyone up for some of the ODST 200K achievements at around noon CST? I'm pretty sure I only have two left and I'm more than willing to help anyone out with any of theirs.

I dunno would have been one mentioned if this guy was in charge.

Thats every game in Anniversary Classic if you go in with a team of 3. The 4th guy is always the worst player you've ever seen. until the next game

I was playing alone, in TS for most of the games and just doing incredible even if i do say so myself. But yeah worst team mates ever

At this point I just consider it like Inception, the deeper you go the worse they get.

The players in the Anniversary lists are laughably bad. My K/D has jumped .11 points in two weeks, hah.

Yeah, I'm for remakes and new ones. But don't throw in remakes if the gameplay is going to drastically change it, for example jetpacks ruining Headlong. It just doesn't fit. On the same side, if you do a remake, don't try to get cute and destroy it like they did for Zanzibar into Last Resort.

So basically, all depends how 343 does the gameplay aspects, whether it'll be like Halo 1/2, use equipment, armor abilities, whatever. It can make or break a remade map. Do it right, like how Bungie revamped Blood Gulch into Coag.

 

[kittens]

This is something I've always wondered, but why do people hate Last Resort so much? I honestly don't remember Zanzibar that well, so I can't really compare the two.

 

[wwm0nkey]

I didnt like the added walkway or the new generator base. Also while Halo 2 and 3 are not massively different gameplay wise the map just didnt have a good feel in Halo 3.

I wasn't a fan of Zanzibar in H2, but i agree LR was worse. BubS and shotguns being everywhere definitely didn't help.

 

[Striker]

This is something I've always wondered, but why do people hate Last Resort so much? I honestly don't remember Zanzibar that well, so I can't really compare the two.

Shitty things from Last Resort: the gate, the gigantic useless space inside the defensive building, Camp Froman's interior level, Spartan Laser, equipment being everywhere

The Sniper, Sword, and Invis being all neutral in Zanzibar was great. The H2 Rockets and seawall Sniper had some back and forth action in the initial rush which set the tone for 1-flag/1-bomb for Team Skirmish. All the changes from gameplay aspects to the geometry being altered just wasn't my cup of tea.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

I liked Last Resort

 

[Photolysis]

The main problem I have with Last Resort is that the base is too big, and it's empty and useless. Zanzibar's base was much better.
