While we're posting clips...

I'll take you all on!

Nutter call me out going back flag as he dies, I juke back and come up front pit side to needle pit.

I need to apologize to Vh, those last few games made it seem like I was only gunning for you lol. Oozer (teammate) almost catches a no scope from me at the end of the clip there. He scared the shit out of me lol.

Speaking of weapons doing the same thing, is the only difference between the SMG and spiker that SMG bullets fly faster?
Click to expand...
The SMG rapes faces and the spiker fails. In reality I believe it's just a middle ground between the SMG and the Plasma Rifle (SMG being low damage to shields and high damage to health, Plasma Rifle doing high to shields low to health, and Spiker middle for both).

Nutter's host is so sweet!! Stop complaining. Maybe he should just rotate teams every once in a while if the losing team feels that it's making that much of a difference. But in a 8v8 game..

Why do I get the sneaking feeling that Bungie is going to let the community fill this role?

I agree, Nutter needs to come to all the custom games. Usually on 8v8 it lags like hell and then no one can play. It's true that our team (without Nutter) got pwned pretty hard for a while, but once we got even teams we started winning a lot (without Nutter on out team). SO I don't see it as too much of big deal.

Even though he went positive big every single game.

One screenshot of (blue) Lockout will be unveiled in a magazine (probably Game Informer) sometime before release. They'll stick it beside a sidebar titled "For the Fans" or some hokey bullshit where they'll have a quote from Bungie describing the remake process and how they want to keep veteran players happy.

You can picture it in your head, can't you?

You make it sound like a bad thing :lol - personally if all I want right now is a Pit remake and a Guardian remake. Ive had some excellent times on those maps, im expecting a Blood Gulch remake/ reimagination and im hopeful we will see a Sidewinder type map as that is one of the best big team maps.

Wow I actually want quite a lot lol

Honestly, I don't really want any remakes in Reach, though I'm sure there will be some. I just want a more robust map editor (which I think is coming). After that, we'll get all the remakes we want.

I've got several maps in my head for Halo 3, but every time I fire up Forge and think about all the block lining up and merging, I lose the will to live.

Playing GAF customs last night it really hit me how many awesome maps were made in the relatively crude tool that is Forge. Get something more robust into the community, we'll be in heaven for years on end.

That's why I've never finished a map variant I've started.

Anyone care to adopt me? :lol I do not have any HaloGAF dudes on my friendslist.

Wanted to get into customs last night, even if it meant waiting. I was too tired eventually, and called it quits.

Edit: Thanks!

Ascension wouldnt really work with jetpacks, in fact none of the current maps would work with jetpacks.. So I am hoping they create some maps specifically for Arena, (where i think they said that it will be pure competitive settings and no ablities)

If the maps are supposedly based off the campaign, I wonder if they could offer two versions of a map. It may be unrealistic but it could be like Perfect Dark Zero where the size of the map can be altered to be smaller or larger.

Maps like the Pit could work it the walls were raised so high that people couldnt go over them, of course it would change the dynamic a bit at the towers (people cant just hold them from the limited few routes of attack as someone could just jetpack up) - but the map wouldnt be broken or anything.

I do think though that the Grav lift from Halo 3 was a much more manageable peice of equipment than the jetpack will be. If a map doesnt work well with it they just dont put it on the map, I doubt they would limit use of jetpacks depending on the map somehow.

I can give it a read too. Sitting and waiting hours for a test that takes five minutes is terrible.

Just imagining Boarding action with Jetpacks, makes me happy inside.

If not, Halo 3's Forge did a decent job at it, we should be set with Forge in Reach as well. :D

Yea, I was talking to some of my friends the other day who don't even really play Halo too much and they admitted that jetpacks seemed really stupid for Halo. I'm not sure how Bungie is going to keep the flow of the game the same while having people flying through the air and shit. Jump boots would be much more badass and wouldn't break maps.

After seeing screens and thinking about it a bit, a Headlong remake seems somewhat plausible. It's on Reach and there is a lot of construction equipment. Jetpacks would also work fairly well on Headlong, too.

It might be nice to have some more vertical maps for Halo: Reach. Give those than use a Jet Pack a certain hight advantage and it could lead to some interesting games for the Invasion mode.

Why dont we do this? The Forgehub matches were a lot of fun, and its pretty cool getting an insight into the other Halo communities out there. There are plenty of them.

Which other Neogaf vs the world matches happened in the past?
