That reminded me of something I did a year or two ago,


Seeing what Halo 3 assets would look like in an unbiased rendering engine. The only modifications were a displacement made from the normal map, and a secondary diffuse for low angles which was done by hand. The armor has a Titanium IOR and the visor has a Gold IOR.

I don't, if you're carrying the flag you should be carrying the flag.

If anything, it makes flag running a lot more interesting than just walkingfrom point A to point B.

And any word on guest support for the beta?

:lol all of these avatars... Looks like I am ahead of the game!

I am currently recovering my GT (can someone explain why this isn't instant like it was on the original xbox... It takes like ten minutes on a 360 and on the old xbox it is almost instantanious... weird.) and then I will hop on for customs! anyone else on?

I was tempted to go a step further and put a unibrow, just because of the already excessive hair, but I restrained myself.

Nah, if I remember right HaloGAF back at least a year ago was "Backflip and Sai kick ass."

So, I see Sai pop up on the matchmaking. I'm like "Wait, HaloGAF plays Team SWAT? And is that really Sai-kun? Oh, shit. I'm going to has my asshole raped twelve ways to Sunday in this game. :("

Cue game and Sai getting raped by me of all people. :lol

It has to pull:

-Your account information
-Your gamerscore
-Your achievements
-Your DRM/purchases (DLC/XBLA)

From the XBL servers. It isn't as instant because of that.

I guess cos of the gamerscore and stuff which transfers to 360 but not to OXbox.

P.S. I would like to nominate myself as the next HaloGaf wonderkid - im still used to Halo 2 controls so doubt I will be getting a kill for a long time. I spent today jumping every time I tired to talk, reloading every time I wanted to melee, switching nades every time I wanted to Jump and throwing equipment every time I wanted to reload :lol

finally have the chance to do some customs tonight.

What time do they start?
Click to expand...

Usually around now. I'm waiting until I get something to eat first so maybe someone can start them off without me if they want?

I could hop on if you guys need players. But I doubt you'll want my disabled/deaf no-mic-using ass in your games. :lol

Of course, I don't have the ODST disc, so that's another negative as well. :lol

I'll be on in an hour or so - going on a walk with the family after a quick bite.

3am here and the day I wanted to finally play some customs with you guys, my 360 died. Hopefully it will make its way back until May 3rd or I will only have a couple of days to play the beta. This is really a short time frame if it´s going to be just 3 weeks :(

Instinct is looking really good. Still can't believe they just won 3-0.

I'll be on in about 15 min. (gotta eat some more cake its my bro's birthday) I'll start a lobby if one's not up yet

I had one of our 360s die a few weeks ago, the turnaround was actually pretty fast, maybe week and a half to two weeks total.

Have they revealed if assualt will be more like Halo 2 or more like Halo 3?
Click to expand...
Hope so.

Really hope we get a lot of CTF, Assault, KotH, Oddball, and 3 Plots in Reach's Grab Bag, and that it is at least competitive.

Has it been confirmed whether or not that Grab Bag is allowing guests? >_>

I think they're all allowing guests.

And I think they're holding off on traditional gametypes for the most part in the beta. The beta is to give them info, they don't need it for gametypes they've seen before.

What maps/modes are you playing? Do you require the ODST disc? As, minus the three ODST maps I have them all.

SO badass. Watch that Elite in the background strafing around him. Like he's circling his pray, waiting for the perfect moment.

"I cant hurt you now, but wait till your puny shield run out." :lol

Yup, and that's clearly who the player has his eye on - the camera is panning to watch the Elite. He knows he's in trouble. :lol
