How could someone possibly be older than Wu?

He was running bigbang.bungie.org a few femto seconds after existence started.

:lol

[Tha Robbertster]

Lol I tried pacing my DMR shots, it actually worked! I felt like a killing machine, pretty awesome.

Anyway, I still think 85% bloom should be universal except for Invasion.

P.S: Not a single Invasion on Breakpoint yet and now it doesn't even appears on Premium Battle. WHY!?

My first game now in premium battle is Invasion Breakpoint :lol

The Past, Present, And Future Of Halo's 343 Industries

Awesome!

That Frank overlord pose.

In other news, I saw Tempest in the Team Slayer playlist. People voted for it too! I like where this going.

 

[Devolution]

Bad news, not gonna touch CE:A till my winter break, school is just gettin' too crazy, especially since I have a group member on a project who's dead weight.

Large maps in 4v4 playlists so there is barely any action and you are bored during the game? Yes that is good stuff.

Tempest is fucking huge no way that should be a 4v4 map.

I could tell you stories about dead weight group members. Smh at some of these people, yet they still get a good grade because of everybody else who contributed fully.

Yeah, but I actually really liked it. It's a large map, but the match I played was pretty decent and didn't feel like we we're searching eachother the whole time.

 

[Havok]

If there's interest, a HaloGAF Halo 2 XBC server could be going live right now.

If not, I will continue playing with laggy Columbians.

In almost all instances of group work I have done a significant chunk of it was contingent on peer review. Nothing sweeter than your group getting an 80 on the project and the deadweight gets stuck with a 62 but you get a 90. Would have been even better if it was wholly linked to peer review.

How do you know this?

Hm, I didn't think he'd let it be known this soon.

I wish it was like that at my school

Last week I did 3/4 of a project, they all passed the grade and the teacher told me that I did not contribute enough.

 

[FyreWulff]

Is the Anniversary "prompt to install" mean "Hey ass, put in your marketplace code to download this shit" or "actually installs from disc"

 

[Tashi]

Therms works at Bungie now?! Fuck yea that's awesome. Congrats bro...if true

 

[urk]

Hm, I didn't think he'd let it be known this soon.

lol

Should be pretty easy to guess given:

1.)Marty tweeted about it
2.)He's old

 

[FyreWulff]

Marty's dad?

Bringing in a ringer to record "NAY, HERESY" lines I see

 

[kittens]

Jelly.

 

[Karl2177]

It's definitely the "better half of O'Donnell/Salvatori."

 

[Tashi]

I'm so lost

 

[Hydranockz]

lol

Marty's been re-hired???

 

[Hypertrooper]

Marty's been re-hired???

I smell a win-win here.

Edit. I was wrong.

 

[urk]

It's definitely the "better half of O'Donnell/Salvatori."

 

[GhaleonEB]

It's definitely the "better half of O'Donnell/Salvatori."

This was going to be my guess as well.

Edit: and there we go.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

What does he do there?

 

[Hypertrooper]

What does he do there?

I thought that he already worked at Bungie.

 

[FyreWulff]

I thought that he already worked at Bungie.

Not that I know of.

Spoiler

I've never been quite able to figure out the Total Audio/Bungie relationship business wise though.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

I guess I cant care who they hire until I know what their product is.

343 on the other hand. Needs to hire this guy for H4's playlists.

Were starting it up I dunno how much time I got to play but one spots open,

 

[Retro]

What does he do there?

His job title is Official HaloGAF Community Liaison, he's been tasked with sorting through millions of posts to find out what the community wants.

His work has lead to amazing discoveries, like the Causal Link between Unsatisfactory Performance (Ages 8-16) and Advanced Shielding Development, and resulted in sweeping changes in the field of Applied Unpredictability in Firearms Simulations.

 

[The Librarian]

Salvatori has been hired by Bungie?

Well. That's fitting.

PLAYERS ON REACH, PLAY BETTER AND DONT QUIT OUT ~ Overdoziz


Goddamnit I cant get a solid game. We almost had a competitive team then they quit out before it started.

 

[Hydranockz]

Premium Battle and they gave us Slayer on Breakpoint... what a terrible map/gametype.

I'm sitting in the lobby if you want to invite me for a 5v5 playlist like Squad Slayer.

 

[Gabotron ES]

BTB Snipers and Snipers on Premium Battle? Please, keep that shit exclusive to Team Snipers.

 

[feel]

lol I didn't see the tweet, just went by urk's "older" and took a guess


Anyways, congrats Therm!!!! This is amazing!

 

[Devolution]

BTB snipers with Reach spawns and maps, worst idea ever.

 

[Hey You]

[wwm0nkey]

I envy those who get a job in the games industry

 

[Stinkles]

That just made my inner fanboy quiver.

 

[Stinkles]

I'm confused. Therm is Micheal Salvatore?

Check your pms.

 

[MrBig]

I thought he has always worked with Marty? Or was he with a contracted studio and is just transferring over now?

Frankie Valli and Bob Gaudio.

Keep it on the down low, please.

 

[wwm0nkey]

what is that a bad thing?

 

[Hey You]

Sorry guys, was a little confused.

Thanks Frankie.

The game industry is goddamn soul crushing. It might potentially be cool to work at a top-tier developer, but for every AAA release there are 50 half-assed licensed turds that poor souls have to grind out to make a buck. Working conditions, economic viability of budget vs sales, publisher relations, it's constant stress. EA Spouse, Rockstar Spouse, the Team Bondi situation. Starry-eyed lust to work on games should stop after age 14, when you realize what it actually entails.

My bf is working for a start up that wants to develop a mobile app, and because the job market is so shit he has to accept being paid way less than he should until they get funding. He's extremely stressed every day of work. Like you said unless it's a huge developer and you're a lead artist, you're basically a slave.

I am well aware of the soul crushing aspects, I mostly just want to do QA testing and even then I know that requires A LOT of hours but hell at least I get to sit while doing work lol
