Anyone who goes into snipers as a party of three, deliberately votes for Hemorrhage (c itz just lik snipingg in real lifez, long distanke, dats whre i shine az a snipa) and then sits in memorised positions where the tiniest fraction of their model is showing but they can snipe full visor without impunity, and rotates these positions and enjoys it IS A FUCKING LOSER.

Just thought you all should know.

Also First game of the day

All the opponents were playing solo too which means trueskill handpicked them individually to play the dog scrub to3 I was paired up with.

I don't care how good anyone thinks a forge map is, if you're gonna put them in matchmaking put them in their own separate playlist. Just because you want community content and its forgers to be rewarded doesn't mean the rest of the community has to suffer. Please have a decent set of original maps (not from campaign either) in matchmaking, make everyone play Halo 2 constantly for inspiration. Pretend Reach doesn't exist. Thank you.

While I agree that they should concentrate on making good maps and focusing on Halo 2 as a "how to" for making good maps, if the new Forge does let us make maps from scratch and some of those maps are amazing then they should be put into normal MM.

Though a separate playlist to test out the maps would be nice.

Also added to this list are people who pick Countdown and then try to camp around with Shotgun and Sword.

Is there a screen saver of the Halo Reach loading screen? You know, the Auntie Dot one that flashes around before you start a match. I want that.

Heck, even Far Cry has a pretty damn good console map editor. :p

Indeed. Forge World is the logical conclusion to Halo 3's Forge, and the next Halo needs to really step it up in terms of user creation. All new trilogy, all new editor.

Holy shit. Did HaloGAF get the first new tidbit of information about Halo 4 in months?

Awesome.

Well we already knew Forge mode was in Halo 4 since Halo Fest. Also I have a feeling we might hear more Halo 4 stuff next month :D

Seconded. I feel like Forge excels at tweaking existing maps for different gametypes or to give them new styles of play or something. Making full maps out of Forge has historically been disastrous.

I did like it on a small scale though, Foundry is what I'd consider the best example of a Forge sandbox map. Primarily because with the pieces and the way the map looks, it ends up being far more natural and pleasing on the eyes than oddly lit mishmashes of gray blocks in the middle of the outdoors.

Smart move on knocking the LASOs down to dailies. Takes just a couple hours, not really worth a weekly slot.
Click to expand...
I was just about to ask about whether this was a mistake or not. The payout is lower than the weeklies have been so far, so I guess it is indeed what you're saying. Not too shabby.

How do you make your own? I'm pretty sure I could capture that bitch in HD and then convert the video some how right?

Ok, I'm going to do it right now. Just give me some time. And I can't install it, I don't have enough room on my HDD. I actually have a larger HDD but I need to get that transfer cable.

Hyper, that video is processing. Sorry it's taking so long, the file size was over 2gb

LOL how the fuck do I trigger a load screen? Do I have to beat a mission?

edit: lol I got to one but I was a little late and they're actually pretty short. I thought these things were pretty long

Nevermind, I got it

Ugh, I used that software squid recommended and of course the trial version is dog shit. Before the screen save pops up a window comes up and says some shit like, "hey this is the trial version. Until you register the product, this dumb ass window will always come up. Sucks balls right?"

edit: Shit really? Sorry about that

Nah. Still thank you for doing that so fast. :) Maybe HBO is going to have a video up. They had that OXM video interview with Davi... Kevin Grace online.

trial versions can be a pain in the ass to deal with all the pop ups and what not. Makes me never want to buy their shit. Sorry.

adl;sfkjgihas;dlfkjasdlfjasdl;fk this screen saver shit is making me crazy. I thought I had a solid way of doing it but no, I didn't. So, I'm going to share the video file here and see if anyone here can do it. Might as well have a bunch of people working on it rather than just me. It will probably get done quicker that way.

If there's a better way to share than megaupload, let me know. If you want a mpg or avi video file, let me know.
