Honestly, he doesn't know the skill set of anyone saying they like the AR. What's the threshold of someone who is "bad"? A k/d spread of .1-.8? What about the threshold for someone who is "decent" or "okay"? Someone who is good?Trasher said:
And why would you conclude that they're skill is the only reason for their likeness of the weapon? What if they use it because they think it's fun to use (fun is the keyword there)? What if they enjoy CQC and have fun beating people down? You may not enjoy that, and that's fine. Maybe I enjoy using the shotgun, maybe I enjoy using the needler, or the mauler. Maybe you don't enjoy using any of those weapons. What: Are you going to tell me the only reason why I like those weapons is because I'm bad?
Besides, that wasn't really the put-down. It was more "I'm good, you're bad, therefore you're not allowed to enjoy the game in the way you do." Someone can be bad at directing a certain genre of movies, or bad at writing for a certain genre of movies, but that doesn't mean they're not allowed to enjoy said genre.
I don't care how good I am at a game as long as I have fun with it. Because, well, it's a game.
I made one comment of the constant "us vs them" form of posting that permeates much of HaloGAF, and I'm not taking my own advice?

No info has been released on Multiplayer just yet, but I wouldn't be surprised.

No one really knows. However, it does seem to be taking a few queues from MW2 with customization of Spartan abilities (Sprinting, Cloaking etc). There's also a melee knife kill now for what it's worth.
Not much has been revealed about the multiplayer side other than online Co-Op being confirmed.

I like using it just to piss off the BR lovers. I need all I can get to throw someone off their game.GhaleonEB said:

Why is it that the people that leak/take scans of these things always take crappy, grainy pictures with flash reflections blocking half the text?
I'm not saying they need to take ultra-high res, professional looking photos (and legally, they shouldn't be taking any), but they could at least make the effort to make the whole thing actually visible.

Exactly, the AR is more accessible and given the current Halo population Bungie's crafted there's no doubting why so many prefer it. I have no reservations in saying that at ~50 crowd they overwhelmingly prefer the BR. I don't understand how anyone's who's participated in an AR match against ~level 50 players and experienced how disadvantaged you are when respawning with only an AR against a team of consistent BRs can honestly say they prefer AR starts. Of course there are some oddballs out there like Coco P. Jojo but he's from the south. There's nothing wrong with the AR, just accept that you are an inferior Halo player and get back to your beatdowns.Trasher said:

This happened to me. Once I realized I could use the BR in close combat situations effectively, I saw no reason to go back to the AR unless I am playing drunk and my aim is sucking.Trasher said:

I had to oonsk my avatar.
Also, do we know when the Edge magazine is supposed to hit?
I've always been privvy to the BR, and Eazy has a valid point - once you hang around the level 50 crowd, BR is a staple for medium distance map control. Without it, it becomes a challenge. That to me is an indication for which weapon is superior for most overall game-winning scenarios. AR has it's place, and gets me a ton of kills, but BR is a more versatile tool for the maps that Bungie has crafted.

The problem is, that crowd in the low single digits as a percentage of the overall population.Major Williams said:
At any rate. I think the entire discussion is moot until we get our hands on the Beta and see how this new AR and DMR fit together with the rest of the expanded and tweaked sandbox. AR/BR is so Halo 3.
To whomever received their Game Informer issue, does the paper feel coarse like newspaper? I got my issue today and the pages feel rough and the colors appear a little washed out. Did I get a bad issue or what? I compared it to my last two issues and those have smooth pages like any other magazine.
Note: Not a real spoiler.

Yes, I'm nitpicking. This my damn Reach, dammit. >:|

True, but I'm in that crowd... so it's what I see in most ranked matches in Team Slayer. Alas, you are correct though, it is a moot issue at the end of the day.GhaleonEB said:

Actually, the shotgun is my best drunk weapon. The shotgun is just my best weapon period. If I get a hold of one, I will get at least 3 kills before I die. Sadly, I am not one to camp the weapon because I want to have fun, so I don't bother much trying to obtain it.WJD said:

It takes a mature approach to video game journalism.
Go see if you can find an old copy or something to take a look. It really is a breath of fresh air if you are sick of the immaturity and teen male focused shite of other magazines.
I buy it every month but am too lazy to fill in the form and subscribe, plus university is this year so I can't be arsed with the hassle of having to re-arrange delivery points. But to me I buy it every month because of the quality of the writing. I often read an article about something I originally had no semblance of information on having gained a clear picture of it in my mind. It's writers can write, unlike evidently Gameinformer's.Merguson said:
The subscription for 12 issues only costs £35 IIRC. That is a saving of £19, which for something of such a high standard seems like a good price, irrelevant of whether it isn't the going rate for other completely awful magazines.

Are the four pages circling the net the only pages that cover Reach?Smokey said:
The layout is superb, they take the subject they cover seriously, the writing is almost uniformly excellent, the materials are top notch (/packaging snob). It's the only mag of any sort I subscribe to, in part because they manage to make stuff I'm not interested in enjoyable to read about. I end up reading most issues cover to cover, and since they're aways pretty hefty, I space that out over a week or more.Merguson said:
It's pricey, but very much worth it, IMO. Pick up the new Reach issue and see what you think; Borders and B&N usually carry them.

You like me, you really really like me!
Has it been mentioned whether or not reload will still be on the right bumper for Reach?
Reload on RB was one of the many things that annoyed me in Halo 3.

Got an interesting message on xbox live.
I asked who he was just in case he was a lurking gaffer then his true identity was revealed.
