Okay okay, it was eventually changed to something approaching mediocre in H3 eventually, but bad gametypes turned a lot of people off it.

And yeah, I think I need to enlist Devo's assistance in order to get it to look a bit more like this.Ramirez said:
Hey, are you getting CEA btw? I'm sorta on the fence of whether I should get it right away or just wait. So many games are about to come out... Not to mention I just got Dark Souls and Arkham City already as well. Ugh.
That video was pretty fun, good stuff, looking forward to part 3.
DMR and pistol in CEA BTB? Hmm, why have a 3sk and 5sk precision weapon spawn with you at the beginning? Keeping the DMR just to be able to cross-map with that 3x zoom? Seems like a strange decision... hopefully DMR will be 85% bloom at least; whereas I know the Anniversary pistol has some sort of bloom already. Does it have an ROF cap at all?
Need to listen to the podcast.

Oh wow some people on ebay are so stupid! I recently sold my Hauppauge pvr on ebay, here's what was on my auction page...
"Unfortunately when moving I had mistaken it's small power cord for an old cell phone charger and it was tossed in the garbage. Everything else but the power adapter is included. You can buy a replacement power adapter from their official webpage for $10, and the shipping is another $6. So you will end up paying $16 for the power cord, which is why I'm selling this for such a low price. Here is the link to buy the power adapter

And here is a message I got today from the buyer!
"Hey I bought your HD PVR but it has no power supply and i was so mad i literraly wanted to kill my self if you can get or give me the Power supply please just message me thanks "

All these bandaid efforts are depressing, we need a fresh start, a game 343 can call their own and tune at will without being scared of stepping on toes.
I don't remember the reticule ever awkwardly changing size in Halo CE throwing off your aim and control. The reticule was a nice circle and the bullets always hit inside with varying levels of spread depending on if you were holding the trigger or feathering it. The CEA pistol may be working similarly but the visual feedback is worlds appart. Plus 3sk was nice on friendly LANs but will translate into swat in matchmaking with all the teamshooting.. yuck
I weep for the death of the previous Classic offering on Reach, it had so much potential now with the zero bloom and other changes being introduced in the TU, plus the arrival of actual good maps.
vv sorry to hear that

Not shocking. I sell things on Amazon every so often and have dealt with many a dumbass. Also dealt with some good people too though.

Halo 4 toy details have leaked out via distributor-
http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/menu.aspx?menu=2823
The one that caught my eye was "Frozen Master Chief in Cryotube"
Obviously that isnt new info, but still cool that we may be seeing this stuff (sorta) soon.

Nothing really wrong with McFarlane stuff, The scale issue annoyed me but beyond that im happy. No reason for the unhelmeted noble team to not have helmets with them either not i think about it.Ken said:

Yes, there is a ROF cap.
Ironic that I finally get unbanned and work has kept me almost entirely away from GAF since. Lots of pages to catch up on.
Tonight I knuckled down and made more progress on the CEA OT than any single day so far. Lots of touch up on the evening's endeavors to do, but it's coming together. Which is a good thing since it gets posted on Tuesday and all.
Good grief this snuck up on me.

It'd be so much easier if you could just password a Halo 2 Vista server instead of invite only -> sending out invites.
there's a "VIP" setting where you can throw tags onto a list, but that's only available to dedis
Halo 2 has a "Resolve Ties" option for CTF, but they never said what it looks for when resolving, so nobody turned it on.
Also pondering if we should roll with Force Even Teams on.

Holy shit. If they implement an upgrade system in a Metroid-like fashion... Holy shit. It would be amazing. Ever since I first saw the idea of a Metroid-inspired Halo here on GAF, I knew it would be amazing. God, I hope it comes true.wwm0nkey said:

Who wants to play VIP in Snowbound? What about CTF on Isolation? Land Grab?! Equipment was another red flag - bubble shields only caused the gameplay to slow down.Photolysis said:
I think the only TO gametypes I liked, at least compared to the other trash they spewed in there was 2-flag on The Pit, 2-flag Standoff, and 1-flag High Ground.
Halo 3 took a major dump on the success Halo 2's gametypes had. From the instant arm follies, long return times in CTF, 3 Plots getting removed, VIP getting jammed down our throats, Territories being beloved, and the flag/bomb contesting along with the sudden death lapse it's truly no wonder. Again, push those big problems to the awful objective based maps? It's a recipe for failure.
Team Objective in Reach was OK until all hell broke loose. That one moment in time I liked it quite well. All they had to do well remove the Drop Shield loadout. What happens? Hemo gets axed (rather than putting in a DMR start to it), they add in 3 Flag, Flag Slayer, Speedflag (and later Stockpile which further pushes 2-flag and Assault down), and allows Pro gametypes (which are a lazy version of 1-flag and 1-bomb fast from Halo 2) to show up more than regular flag.Ramirez said:
