Support NeoGAF

[Zeouterlimits]

Is he still banned? =\

Wasn't it a perm?

 

[Gui_PT]

I dunno. Was it? =\

 

[Blueblur1]

Juices himself posted on Twitter that it is a 6 month ban.

 

[Thermite]

Can we get this guy a GAF account?

He does. It's called Ramirez or something like that..

 

[Kapura]

Why is it such a big deal if the engine in Reach is completely new or H3's engine heavily modified? If it looks better who cares how the engine was made.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

It seem Bungie are playing Penny Arcade in Ping Pong today, wonder who from Bungie is playing..

OH. Now what Urk said to me about ping pong makes sense.

EDIT.

Wait a second, my post had said I hope there will be good new info in it he update, and he said:

We're playing Ping Pong on Friday.

Does that mean no update?

 

[electricpirate]

Honest question: Obviously it's a piece of cake to change your brightness/contrast on a TV. How difficult is it to change the brightness/contrast inside the game itself?

The released Reach screens have fantastic assets, but something looks a little off. That seems to be the majority opinion, anyway.

(This is not the same thing as the "Make Diablo 3 darker!!!!" complaint.) With a few slight changes to the brightness/contrast of the pictures, you can make the game look significantly better. The lighting becomes more apparent, the aliasing increases, and the models stand out vibrantly, just like shiny armor should, etc.
Would this be too difficult to do inside the game itself?

At any rate, I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to change TV settings to make the game look like this when it releases. Check them out:

*interesting pics*

Good point here, actually go watch the trailer, and the contrast/brightness seems much more inline than the screen shots.

Which is probably one of the reasons that the trailer looks better than these shots.

Ah yes, urk's infamous ping pong ball trick.

I got fiddy on Bungle111!

It could mean they'll have stuff from the match in the update and/or a much later update.

 

[Sill4]

I know they can't reveal too much this early, but it would be nice to drop some hints about the maps we will be playing during BETA.

Any multiplayer info would be nice. =/

 

[big ander]

Remember, holding the paddle upside down multiplies your skill at ping pong. It works, I swear.

Random online story:
I was playing with this guy in this game and afterwards we had an extremely close 1v1. It was intense, and it ended in a tie, and we were just about equals. I just thought it was competitively fun.

 

[Toddler]

Why is it such a big deal if the engine in Reach is completely new or H3's engine heavily modified? As long as it doesn't look like a can of smashed assholes, and is fun to play, why can't we STFU about the engine and enjoy the game?

Had to fix a few things there for ya, brah.

 

[mescalineeyes]

do we know if the game is "proper" 720p this time yet?
I really hope it is.

 

[Another One]

I really hope it is.

We do not know the answer to that. I would be kind of surprised if it wasn't.

 

[Captain Blood]

Ah yes, urk's infamous ping pong ball trick.

I keep watching your avatar hoping to see the immanent showdown.

 

[mescalineeyes]

We do not know the answer to that. I would be kind of surprised if it wasn't.

not that I mind either way, but hey, every pixel counts!

720p or not, this definitely is my most anticipated game this year.

It isn't. This is what happens when we don't get info. First Oonsk comes about, then the AR/BR debate, then there was what to dip fries in... now this...

The house analogies were lacking. I reject their reality and substitute my own. It's like taking the heart from a man and replacing it with that of a lion! Blood goes in, blood pumps out, but now...

Spoiler

like a lion!

I just hope Bungie gives us something soon.... for our own sakes.

[Roche]

That just made my week awesome.

 

[RotaryAce]

Epic win. And you beat me to posting the image.

*sadface*

 

[Trasher]

If you’re mad about a world where your Sniper Rifle’s cadence is slowed to a snail’s pace, you should stand down and start taking deep breaths with at least full second intervals between.

The sniper is totally owned. =/

1 shot kill maybe?

 

[Kibbles]

Oh, and while we’re on the subject of UI, the HUD isn’t yellow anymore. It’s blue. Because Marcus said so.

Letters, you need to cook up an Oonsk emblem for the contest.

 

[Arnie]

Nice meaty update. I hope the sound real comes to fruition next week so I can hear that sexy AR.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

:lol
Dignified as always Urk.

Unfortunately, this contest is not open to everyone (US and Canada only, for starters), because apparently we must adhere to our already well established and thoroughly regrettable xenophobia (and because our lawyers said so).

* hurriedly prepares as many lude, crude and angry "entries" as possible*

TJ's, we must make an emblem!

 

[Sean P.]

I'm glad the HUD is back to blue, its much more Halo and spartan-y, and the cool colors are nice on the eyes.

TJ's, we must make an emblem!

You better make it BJ' for TJ's. Not like its lude or anything.

 

[feel]

Since this has basically become the definitive Halo 3 thread, I thought I post this here.

I was playing with one of the recently-approved juniors (Mr M33) and this happened in one of our games.:lol :lol

This shows one of the reasons I love Halo so much. Halo allows for stuff to happen that is so completely unexpected.

:lol :lol Nice.

Similar to COD3-COD4 transition.

wut

The last two questions really demonstrate how Edge "get" Halo in a way so many other outlets, and so many gamers, simply don't.

Yes! This is why I love reading everything they have to say about Halo. They really get it. Their Halo 3 review was so good.

I knew you would deliver! :D

 

[Ramirez]

He does. It's called Ramirez or something like that..

Not enough AR discussion for it to be me!

 

[Hydranockz]

I would have never even thought of the differences of audio inside and outside buildings! Fantatic stuff!

I only thought of Far Cry maps when he mentioned the planet side settlement map

Spoiler

Someone paint me a prettier picture

 

[CrazedArabMan]

I hope not, than even Dax could use the sniper then.

Brilliant!:lol

Hm. So did Urk basically confirm that the sniper will have a full second between shots?

Oh, and I think this picture is the best Stosh has ever done.

Good job, Stosh!

 

[Kibbles]

Wow the images EDGE uses for their articles are so fucking bad. Compressed to hell and tiny resolution. Can't see shit, sir.

 

[urk]

Nah, just confirmed that people were complaining about it before firing a shot. Pros use the bullet hose anyway.

 

[feel]

Letters, you need to cook up an Oonsk emblem for the contest.

There's probably gonna be a ton of Oonsk entries unfortunately. Mine would get lost in there.
And there's also a huge chance Bungie is already including a Oonsk emblem.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Wow the images EDGE uses for their articles are so fucking bad. Compressed to hell and tiny resolution. Can't see shit, sir.

So people will buy the magazine and see them in their proper glory?
Probably embargo related too, can't be good enough to stop US GI people seeing a reason to buy GI either.

 

[Pennybags]

The HUD isn’t yellow anymore. It’s blue.

Why is this my favorite tidbit of news?

 

[Sean P.]

So hose are for pros?

And all this time I thought pros came before hose.

 

[Hydranockz]

Why is this my favorite tidbit of news?

Because that's how much you love Bungie sometimes?

Maybe for 500 Microsoft Points we can customise the colour of the HUD...

Spoiler

 

[The Librarian]

Ah. I see.

Edit -
Oh, yeah, forgot to comment on the new change to the HUD. Blue instead of yellow? Probably for the best given Reach's environments.

 

[Tashi]

I still have my Halo 3 icon drafts I did a few years ago. I actually coincidentally looked at them today for the first time in a long time. I never sent them in, they're terrible lol.

If you TJ's wanna try to get one in, I say the rest of us should try to come up with a HaloGAF one. Thoughts???

edit: I'm glad HUD is good ol' BLUE.

Those bro's with them ghosts come before hoes. Not pros.

A GAF emblem could work, toggle means the top half of the ball goes leaving the bottm half

Spoiler

though i suppose thats an already established emblem

 

[Easystride]

I haven't been following this thread too much since I am a new member, but I'd kill for a Headlong or Waterworks remake in Reach. I think Halo 2 is my most played game ever, and it is mostly because of those two maps. Anyways, I am liking the look of the game, and I can't wait for it to drop!

 

[EazyB]

What it means is that when you accidentally lob a grenade at your own two feet...

So this is confirmation that ODST's grenade system has been given the boot, right? Even an MLG pro couldn't throw grenades at their feet in ODST as it'd just be shit out of their forehead and propelled forwards.

Thanks, Urk.
