Halo.
Currently debating whether or not I should just ask for the entire month off of work.
I mean... Halo guys. Halo.

He's salary pay at this point, come on man.
As much as we give him shit, props to speedy for actually having money worth a damn. Just stay away from loans and credit and you'll be golden.
What's wrong with taking a break from a shitty job to enjoy a new game?

When I used to work minimum wage I'd always try to take the day Halo comes out off, and atleast lighten my load that week. I dont see anything wrong with that. I would only ever take off for major family holidays, my birthday, gf's birthday, etc anyways.
Now that I run my own business, I can guarantee you I am clearing the schedule the week the MCC comes out.
My now business partner and I spent years playing Halo growing up together, hes buying an XO just for MCC, (I'm making him wait incase theres a bundle) theres no way we are going to work those first couple days.

The playable map in addition to Ascension has got to be one of the yet revealed remakes. I'll be fine with whatever they've chosen to redo. I would think it would likely be a larger size map just to show off, but Ascension isn't exactly large, so who knows.
I think the map will be Lockout. Suits 4v4, has been confirmed by Frankie if not officially revealed, suits a tournament too, doesn't it? Focus on Halo as esports, you know?
EDIT that is, if the map actually works for competitive playing. I know it is a fan favorite but... eh, it isn't symmetric and... well, frankly, i have no idea why it is so popular. Was it even used in high competitive Halo?

Being 4v4 I'm willing to bet that it's Lockout.
Yep, probably this. Besides, it's a map fans and players knows fairly well like Ascension.

No, no, I was asking how Bungie programmed it so that the spiked end always stuck to walls regardless of the orientation of the Spike Grenade upon contact. It was the closest alternative I could think of for a weapon where a throwing knife would always have to end up impaled in its targets, but without despawning like your typical Call of Duty / Destiny one.

Now this is the kind of bad decision that I can behind.
My guess is that they set the orientation vector perpendicular to the surface.

This plz frankie
I though that spike grenades always flew head first when thrown. They could fly backwards?
They always fly head first, but here's a little experiment for you. Throw a spike grenade straight up in the air. Now turn into monitor mode and raise a block faster than the velocity of the grenade, so you intercept the grenade while it is still in the upward trajectory.
Nope.
Rubbish video but shows the grenade in flight pretty well:

Basically it arcs with the large side always being at the front.

If you are replacing the whole drive instead of the pick up. Be sure to take the old firmware board from the current drive and put it on the new drive. Other wise you're box will not read disk. Unless you jungle flash it. The firmware board and main board are married together by a check code. Depending on how old you box is it may require a bit of easy soldering.

Regardless of work, I will always try to take off for E3 and major Halo/Smash releases. Never understood why people complain about this when it's only a couple days a year lol..
You have one mo' suckin' life. Live the shit how you want, enjoy what you want and stop living to society's perspective of what's "normal." Live for the experiences IMO; I want to see the shit live when 343 drops the BASS
/monks.
It gets to a terminal point then the grenade kinda curves in a arc and comes back down. It seems to flip itself so the head end points down.

Halo 4 Lyfe! ;-p
A month is a little crazy, but I could see a few days, maybe even a week for the release of the MCC. I know I'm going to schedule my days off around the release of the MCC. Work the 10th - midnight launch (hopefully the MCC has a midnight launch) - Halo from Midnight to 5 am-ish - sleep till noon - then log in another 8 - 16 hours total of Halo till the 12th - go back to work on the 13th.
True dat!

Yeah, I thought the same thing. I think it was probably the sound effect that tricked me, too.

welp. Did not know that, that'll be annoying. I have a 360 S. It's too late to ask Microsoft for any help, considering that tearing it apart voided the warranty. I just wanted it to hold out until I get my One in a couple months lol.
Ah, so we finally know who the poster is behind this joke account.

That Pistol; it is glorious. I like how the CE Anniversary boxart "matured" with MC holding the Pistol, much like MC bringing God's Weapon to whatever epic battle this is!Spartans and Crimsons punching oh my!

..until he was challenged to a Sword duel ;]
Can't wait till we hear more details on that weapon as it's sure to get a lot of attention and spark countless debates, yet again lol. I'm always excited for that part of the Halo cycle!

There is still not bayonets or sword human weapons in Halo right?

Not unless you count the knife used in some assassinations.
The shotgun is the "sword" you need as a human. Knives used for assassinations doesn't count.
Halo isn't the sort of scifi where human-made scifi melee weapons fit, i think. You know, rocket/pneumatic-hammers, vibroweapons, smart-whips, shock-swords, etc. And non-powered melee weapons... what's the frigging point?
