To be fair, it was a huge screw up on MS's part, and posting anything you got as part of the preview program was against the terms people agreed to.Zeouterlimits said:
So whether you like it or not, Microsoft really had to do their due diligence there to try and help with the fact that their mistake lead to the spoiling of one of their partner's biggest games.
If one of our partners in my industry did something similar, my company would be pissed and would be looking to those who made the mistake to do something about it.
And great CEA OT art!

quoted for the new page (at 100ppp like real men, even on a phone).GhaleonEB said:
That is awesome.
Would anybody be interested if 343/CA dropped a forge-only map pack for a couple hundred MS points? Say, for instance, 3 blank (flat) canvases set in 3 distinct environments with a full palette for each... No map design from the studios. Just 3 blank plots of land and a bunch of new pieces.
I realize this would segregate user base and it would mean potential problems for MM inclusion, but if the price was reasonable enough, it could be successful. How much real effort would this require? It seems to me it would cost so much less to produce on their end considering no map balance/design needed. Just build-out of new forge pieces and some skyboxes.

I wouldnt like to comment on design cost and effort. Forge world was promoted as one of the most challenging things bungie did with halo MP.
However ignoring all that id love some type of forge canvas only dlc.
Human City (new alexandria meets new mombasa enviroment)
Covenant Canvas (aboard high charity?)
Snow enviroment (not enough snow guys).

So you target one forum on the Internet? Even though the info originated elsewhere and is available elsewhere (i.e. how the Internet works).minasodaboy said:

While i dont agree with the C&D its easy to see why they did it.
Relatively small russian hacking forum/Neogaf. which one would you worry about getting the most attention.

So when does the OT go live Ghal? One week people!
Damn, that's how you do an opening level (MW3) [monotone]The Covenant are on Reach I guess, in case you guys didn't notice, we sure didn't[/monotone]
I think it's too late for that, I'd rather they just improve it for H4 (or throw it out of matchmaking if they won't). Too much population splitting going on at the moment, I don't think it'd be worthwhile (unless it was free). Would barely come up in matchmaking, and you'd only be able to share them with like 5% of the userbase.Homeboyd said:

4chan gets more readers than GAF. The C&D just attracted more people to GAF, highlighted the leak even more. Now there a bunch of articles about the leak AND the GAF C&D.StalkerUKCG said:

Replied in the thread about the MS C&D, one of the newest posts. Just don't want to clog up this thread for people not interested.StalkerUKCG said:

Edit: I will post this here since ForgeGAF's thread is a wasteland right now.
Can we have some kind of HaloGAF testing session going on in the future?

So everyone picked up MW3? I skipped BF3 assuming everyone would be playing MW starting today anyway.
Edit: Also I am at work with websense so like every other page is blocked. Sorry if this is all that has been talked about lately.

Sorry if this is all that has been talked about lately.If I find a Hardened Edition after I get off work, I'll probably end up buying, seeing as I have no semblance of a will.Captain Blood said:So everyone picked up MW3?

Absolutely. Halo 4 needs to have it, but without as drastic drop in graphics as Halo Reach had. I don't mind if it is limited to two players only, still want split screen.omg.kittens said:
While i earlier said lack of dedi servers would be deal breaker, i'll take that back and say lack of split screen would be deal breaker.
My free copy is in the mail but with Skyrim coming out I'm not sure how much I'll play it right awayCaptain Blood said:So everyone picked up MW3? I skipped BF3 assuming everyone would be playing MW starting today anyway.

Blops 2 kids will be destroyed. If there's space in my usual dong group I'll pick some HaloGAF peeps up. Kids about to buy some Wiis after tonight.

No. I won't be interested in a whole forge-only map pack. And specific multiplayer created maps > forge maps. Otherwise I'm more interested in a map created by 343i and not CA. But I don't think we will see any before Halo 4.Homeboyd said:

For the greater good.
All casuals must be cleansed.
It'll be compact. One post, and that one post is about half the size of the first post from the original Reach thread. I've concluded less is more, no need to get caught up in the race to outdo other OT's.StalkerUKCG said:
All I really have to do today is draft the Multiplayer section text, which will be about two small paragraphs, then touch up a few odds and ends.
No one in this thread will get much from the OT since we're all paying close attention.

One of today's Challenges:
Earn 30 assists in Firefight Matchmaking.
30 assists is a LOT of assists for 2250 cR.
We should just go into doubles.
One person takes GL loadout (aka assist launcher), other does the killing.
Wouldn't take long, especially in Gruntpocalypse.
Why haven't they upped the credits even more at this point. Triple cR weekends? 5,000cR bonus each game for playing a gametype other than Zombies. With MW3/BF3 out now, they should just go nuts with creditsGhaleonEB said:
Still gotta get that damn 2 million credit armor thingy to complete the collection.

The Challenges have gotten a good swift kick in the pants, but every now and then a day comes along where the payouts are light; today is such today. Most did get a 2-3x boost, such as the weekly Challenge. It has both a lower requirement and a higher payout than it used to.Mojo said:

Why are guests still allowed to ruin the slightest pretence of a competitive game in a hopper that was labelled under 'hardcore' in Halo 3?
One guy on the other team was trash talking before the game starts, saying he's played me before, i'm a cheap player blah blah blah (in a German accent). Then the game isn't even a game because the guest who hasn't payed for the game, console nor xbl subscription cannot muster a single kill yet dies fifteen times, making a mockery of a game customers have payed for.
They need their own little playlist to shit up and stay away from paying customers.

Well of course studio produced MP maps are better than Forge maps. I'm not implying that at all. Not to mention, you will pay a premium for MP maps where you wouldnt (or shouldnt) with something like this. Thats why I said "reasonable cost."Hypertrooper said:
And if you're not a forger, you wouldn't be interested in this. You're also comparing something like this to the limited Forge we have now, but if new environments were introduced and better palettes were added, you would see a more diverse range of custom maps (that you could play in customs or a community-only playlist). Right now people hear "Forge" and immediately think "sea of gray" and immediately say "no no NO! I hate Forge!"... But if you had other options to work with, it might be a different story.
It's similar to asking someone who hates Reach's campaign if they would like to see a campaign add on via DLC. Sure if you really didn't enjoy Reach's campaign you'd say "no thanks" without considering the quality that the add-on could provide (which may provide elements you actually do enjoy).
