With the limits in today's generation of console memory . There are going to be out-of-place lower-than-usual textures, always.

Well...Halo 3 used lightmaps and I think .hdr ones at that for its lighting tech. Those took up a massive amount of video memory. If Reach is using a completely dynamic lighting solution without any baked maps then all those lightmaps are now off of the budget and they can move all that texture space back into the characters, weapons, environments, skyboxes, etc.

Not PC memory size freedom of course but better than in the past.

I should also add that if the AJ folks come out in good form, I'll team up with any of those dudes. I know that a few of them are already lined up for the beta.

I meant for Reach. Although it would be cool if we could get it setup now and do a tournament or two before Halo 3 dies. Then we could get an idea of who would actually be interested in doing this thing before Reach comes out. Those people would then have dibs over everyone who jumps onto the Reach bandwagon.

A strange thing happened in the Alpha last week. We were testing some of what will ultimately become part of the Arena experience and, for one reason or another, a small snippet of what seemed to be mundane, behind-the-scenes information ended up being displayed in the HUD for all to see. Should have been fairly innocuous for all intents and purposes, but the more our playtesters were exposed to it, the more they began to understand its initially vague intricacies and soon enough even our own guys were coming into work in the morning telling energetic stories centered on this curious little numerical oddity.

Sound a little too mysterious? Sorry. It wouldn’t make much sense to dig in right now without the proper context in place. And since the final call hasn’t been made as to the utility and ubiquity of this particular snippet of information, we’re not going to cement it into your lexicon just yet. Until we start squawking, you’ll just have to take your best guess.

My best guess? It’ll end up in the public Beta in one form or fashion and you won’t have to wonder about it at all. Of course, you should keep in mind that my guesses are about as good as yours. If design wants this particular nugget to get panned, it’s gone.

Any idea what the hell Urk is talking about? Some logistical info about an amount of time or angle or distance from one point to another? Like distance from one territory to another? Or to the flag drop point, or the skull drop point, etc.

My guess is player elevation.

Wait, you're playing for the Forge Hub team?
Does this mean you have to suicide your GAF account?

If there was a GAF vs. IGN, I'd play for IGN, but I definitely wouldn't suicide my GAF account :lol

I have quite a few more posts there:

We could try and get a Halo 2 tournament going. Would be a fuck awesome way to send it off for good.

Dear God. Crunch hasn't good been to that ex-GAFer.

Edit: Found out my dad's workin security at comic-con, right now. Told him to keep an eye out for an unstable young southern gentleman with glasses. Could be armed with a assault rifle and relatively harmless.

GAME FACE

Give me a couple of months to get the reflexes back on point. The last few times I've logged on and tried to play something that requires you know, skill, I've been beaten like a red-headed stepchild. MLG FFAs? Oh god... It was not pretty.

Beardcast 2.0 sounds fucking awesome. Sounds like they're really going to try and answer some serious questions (FoV, fall damage, etc.). Hype.

We won the first 2 and lost the last one by a kill.... to be honest we should have won that one too lol. But yeah, final result 2-1 GAF. Good games too!
Click to expand...

We should have won that one, I was just blindly running at them at the end and must have died at least 5 times in a row :(

Was fun though, but I HATE the Beaver Creek map.

Damn, you guys spanked ForgeHub.



Bladed, you pulled silly British host didn't you?

I think most games were Euro host. But to be fair, three Gaffers were Brits and I think at least 2 from forgehub were too. So I had it easy :p

It was a great night. That game on the Pit was so intense. The custom created maps paled in the awesomness that was the Pit tonight imo.
