Yeah, that's the Forerunner trilogy. I know about that. I'm talking about the next book that continues where GoO left off.

Read the post a little bit closer, man.

 

[Louis Wu]

I don't see a mention of it anywhere in the opening post.

I can't help you if you're going to read the forum with stupid settings.

Nope, Mr. Bear is doing the Forerunner trilogy - Eric Nylund is chatting with us about an Onyx sequel.

I'm stupidly excited about Reach at the moment.

Hey Wu, would you still make good on your offer to host my thing about ODST if I finish it in the next week or two? I know it's several months late.

Nice, thats amazing news, I really hope Nylunds penning it, and it ties into the game of Reach somehow

This sucks. I was hoping for a Halo revival. I'm not sure we even played L4D2 together. Well, at least you'll be unsullied for the full release, where everything will seem as new!

The rest of us played a bunch of L4D2, you just got it on the wrong platform

No. Go with Simple List and Guestbook.

I've never played it Only 1 and 2, and I'm considering buying a 360 just for this game.. (and 3 and a couple others, but mainly this)

Awesome Please don't let HaloGAF scare you away. They're a cranky bunch and not that friendly to outsiders.

Hold on... Microsoft gave codes away for the beta?

For playing Halo 2 or something. Despite all the time I put into the game until Halo 3's release, I never got a message... :/

Off topic I guess, but does anyone else wish Social Slayer was 4v4?

I was playing at a friends house there were a few of us there some of the people didnt really play Halo much. Social Slayer with them was AWEFUL, 10 people on medium sized maps doesnt work well at all. One of them was trying to snipe (hes pretty good on CoD and Gears), but he hated Halo (with good reason), because he couldnt get a chance to use the thing with all the ar spray everywere.

The worst thing was we couldnt find a good playlist to play, were too unbalanced for customs, Big team just couldnt handle all of us on one connection and so switched Halo off . Social Slayer would have been ideal if it wasnt so crammed up and just 'un fun'

Seriously?! What a load of shit... I played the hell out of Halo 2 and the only reason I haven't touched it since then is because I've been playing piece of crap Halo 3 instead! I was aware they gave away MS points and that agitated the hell out of me for like an hour but fucking beta codes?! FUCK! :lol I dread having to get Halo: ODST for this beta.

Yeah, I think it was only people who played Halo 2 this year before they announced they were giving away codes. It was dumb.

ODST only costs 20 bucks some places. Come on, guys.

You had to play some halo 2 this year to qualify.

Customizability and aesthetics are one of my favorite things in a game. I like what Bungie did with armor perms in Halo 3, but it looks like it'll be much better in Reach.

The fact that this customization carries over to campaign is AMAZING.

The campaign part using our own Spartan is what I really like.

The armor perms in Halo 3 were great at first glance and in the beginning of Halo 3, but as time went by, seeing the awful Hayabusa helmets and pads, along with the Katana sword just made me want to hurl.

You need better friends, and also, Social Slayer/Skirmish haven't been changed since launch, really. So that's why they're awful in spite of the guests.

I'm starting to think that this Reach game can't possibly exist.

There's just no way for a single game to be crammed with this many good ideas. Good ideas on top of a bulwark of already good ideas.

How was he getting sprayed with ARs if he had the Sniper, was he getting right next to people? I find Social Slayer to be a dongfest no matter how many people are in there. It's a nice ego booster after getting pooped on in MLG constantly.

My friends are awesome, its not they're fualt Social Slayer isnt fun for us :lol . Even playing with my 'usual crowd' we avoid Social Slayer due to the chaos of 5v5. If the majority like it as 5v5 then cool, but im sure it had the same population when it was 4v4?

Ramirez the last game we played was The Pit, which just seemed waay too small for 5v5, perhaps it was because some of my friends were new to Halo, but when you werent bumping into eachother you were simply having a mosh pit with the enemy. When its 5v5 it doesnt seem like a enemy is ever too far. It wasnt much fun (which is unusual for the Pit). A game we had on Guardian was worse (but thats too be expected with it being a smaller map).

Dont get me wrong, it was easy enough especially as my friend is a low rank. Just not much fun.

[wizword]

Halo player investment system is something other developers should take notice. First Person Shooter multiplayer experiences should mainly be about competition. If you lose a match because you are a worse player makes me feel better than having to take twice as many bullets to take you down because I am a lower leveled player. Everything should be equal. I hate this casual stupidity. It is basically like telling a professional basketball player that he is not allowed to block my shot because he is a better player. There is no skill involved in perk system shooters.

 

[Magni]

Will there be stupid censorship ('ass' in 'Neutral Assault' for example) again this time, or have you guys understood a mature audience (ESRB: M / PEGI: 16+ I'm guessing) doesn't care about such "obscenities" ?

Just asking this again. My other, non-gameplay problem (Custom File Limit), has been fixed, so I was hoping this would be too..

Flag Running has been an inherent part to Halo CTF, at least at competitive levels, for a decade now, but I can understand that some people might be annoyed by the Announcer. Either an option to turn off the Announcer, or something like making it say Flag Dropped only once the flag has been dropped for 3 seconds, I don't know. Whatever keeps us both happy
