Halo 3 aiming requires skill..I prefer it over H2-H4 heavy aim assist..

It is the eye patch skull in CEA.
Possibly, there's also the fact that 3's net code sucks bollocks and I live in the UK.
My favorite gun is the Beam Rifle.
It is for Sudd, too.

fuck halowfollower, stop linking to his garbage.
It always annoyed me that it also removed your arms and ability to see weapons. I want a skull that actually only removed your HUD, not your existence from the plane of reality. Blind would move from my most hated to most loved skull if that was the case.

You need to join me and "Enter the 36 Chambers" to some Invasion. Shit is cray and fun still.
How's that 50 coming Gundam?
Apparently August is going to be the next big news reveal during GAMESCOM and Comic Con... why did that auto cap? If I recall it will involve more maps and details on armor customization.
I'm currently a 42 and won another game but didn't increase until I make 3rd place or higher. I was a 42 about 6 years ago btw. Feels good that I can best myself after so long.
And sweet news. Can't wait to see more gameplay or even terminal trailers! =)

No
His voice is annoying, he makes up fabricated garbage and terrible theories half the time plus he tried to get his viewers involved in a pyramid scheme, no.
When are you two next playing?

I remember when the star simbol was a thing in Halo Reach then some got mad about letting everyone get the start at the end of Reach cycle.
It should have been obvious to people that Bungie was letting everyone play with all their toys before handing off the game. They even changed the "killed a Bungie employee" medal on b.net to "killed a Bungie fan"
It was also mentioned somewhere that a potential plan was in place to also give everyone in Halo 3 the Bungie Flames, but the system for doing that in Halo 3 was too brittle to handle doing that while also trying to hand it off to someone else. (May have also been potential performance implications from everyone in a BTB match having them) They really did want to try and give the community everything that was exclusive.
ALSO PERSONAL OPINION TIME: I know others don't share this view, but I wouldn't mind the Reach Legendary Flames becoming available to everyone.

its been long enough that the Legendary flames should be available. (i bought legendary edition and Legendary strat guide)
Send an invite my way next time you're on bro.
I love invasion.
It's funny because I got on Halo 3 before 4 had come out and I hadn't played it since Reach came out. My rank was only at 20 or something and by the end of the day I was in the high 30's.
That reminds me; going back through old clips is hilarious. I couldn't believe how terrible I was.
Could've sworn there was one in 3. Weird.
Would be nice for machinima purposes. Though it would also be fun just to play it that way.
Eyepatch is the only skull that currently performs that function.
Man that would be way more awesome (though easier, but I want this now.)

But you can lower your arms in Forge mode I think, thats how RVB do theirs videos before their custom models animation.
You've always been able to in some form.
Halo CE look all the way down.
Halo 2 Hold the left trigger (if you use default)
Halo 3 and Reach were some combination of buttons
Halo 4 is a combination of buttons as well but it wasn't very good because your gun went back up every time you moved which looked really stupid.
I have no idea if you can do it in campaign.

Well some or maybe a majority of halogaf and other halo fans dislike his habit of crazy theory vids and the pyramid scheme he did or is still involved with and tried to get his followers in on making millions and owning a Mercedes.
So you can get why that has ruined his rep. If the guy makes legit videos and keeps it clean than you could say he'll might gain fans their trust and interest, imo.

Thanks for confirming this. I knew something was off. Literally every time I tried Halo 3 over the past few years it just feels terrible. But I can jump around the others with little to now speed bumps.
What I was referring to when I started this "How halo 3 feels aiming" discussion was strictly in regards to how it feels when you move the stick around. Wasn't talking at all about aim assist or bullet magnetism. Only moving the look pitch around.
I was subscribed to him for about 4 days but I got tired of the false video titles. The last video I saw was "Halo 2 Anniversary will not be 1080p". I thought that I had missed an announcement or something and gave his vid a view yet all he did was talk about what Frankie said about the game still being in flux and that its not locked in yet. He baited tons of people with a confirmation header but then just basically said what Frankie said which is not a confirmation about the games final resolution.
Essentially its click bait most of the time and has no real substance. I'm sure some times its real information, but Its not cool to get people to click your videos with what seems like confirmation on something then it turns out to just be a rehash of info that doesn't confirm anything =/
It definitely doesn't, Halo 3 aiming feels very different - It's part of the reason (but not the only reason) why noscoping is so much easier in H3 than CE or 2. It was a big topic of discussion when the game first came out.
What are you using to play games on, if you or really anyone here can, hook up your 360 to your monitor and aiming will probably feel just fine rather than fighting with a square aim system. Did this with a few friends over here to show them how much input lag on a TV messes with games and how its usually not the game that has bad aiming, its your TV messing everything up due to high input lag.
Halo 3 is what I use though because its a clear as night and day difference.
LCD/LED screen input lag = the actual devil

Anyone going to shell out for the Vanguard stuff in Destiny? also if you have an xbone, i would advise against buying the game for a year. both Expansions are a year exclusive to PS4.
Plasma or Sony's gaming TVs are great as well. All I know is in NEVER LED/LCD again until this input delay mess stops. My 42 inch 3D TV is collecting dust right now because of it.

I'm considering the digital collector's edition for X1, but I probably won't be able to afford it until next year in any case.

they are doing some shady shit by holding entire parts of the game away from fans for a year.

Are you sure? I've read there is exclusive content reserved within the first two expansions.
"There's also additional PlayStation exclusive content for The Dark Below and House of Wolves that Activision confirmed will remain exclusive until at least Autumn 2015." eurugamer...
The expansions aren't exclusive, just smaller things within the expansions, probably just a couple of weapons or armor pieces or something.

Yea as mentioned it's just some small stuff hopefully.

Hm. well i stand corrected, but its still shitty to xbox fans to hold things back an entire year. and if anyone counters with CoD, thats 3-6 months of exclusivity.

Yeah its not cool, bit rubbish that we don't get a strike(dungeon) and a multiplayer map on release let alone this nonsense. I'm looking forward to seeing which community this game lasts, especially with cod/bf/halo and all the other fps coming out this year.

Yeah. It's annoying, but not the end of the world. Though I think it's likely that there will be exclusive missions / PvP maps, too, which is pretty shitty.
The only interest I had in Destiny was entirely due to Bungie's name attached to it. Everything we've seen of it looks genuinely boring to me.
This shitty exclusive stuff has been the final nail in the coffin that contains what was my excitement for the game.
I also find it quite funny at the amount of people saying this will scratch the Halo itch. Destiny takes almost everything which was hated about 4 and increases its importance. It even has different armour pieces with different defense levels...

PvE plays almost exactly like Halo.
Destiny is definitely the most restricted "multiplatform" release I've seen in a while, but hell if withholding stuff makes me want to get a PS4. I'll probably be sticking to 360 now since it's not worth any outlay if I don't like the game. I'll get a XB1 when I'm good and ready in November.
I don't know, seems like you're then letting some idiots dictate what you can or can't do, even if it's fun. I think a lot of those issues were because back then accounts weren't as secure, Bungie started to give Recon out to a lot of people who had cool things on video etc. I don't think there would be as many account problems these days when Microsoft wants two security proofs, there is billing addresses attached.
I mean what could the real damage be if say 343 employees, other choice individuals got some exclusive armor? Then again, I never got Recon and I didn't know anyone who had to deal with any problems.

Was it the Fotus or Forerunner Armor?
Definitely. Obviously with long range fights, you'll want to use it. Otherwise, I hipfire the vast majority of the time.
No it doesn't. The game is a load of fun, but absolutely nothing like Halo.

Like Diablo-Halo.. The gunplay is very similar at times but it reminds me more of Borderlands having to worry about what level certain enemies are, having a quest hub and loot.
Funny that I watched an interview with Randy Pitchford few years ago saying he wanted borderlands to be moment to moment action of Halo but with rpg mechanics from Diablo, now Destiny is a direct competitor to them.

Nailing head shots was satisfying in that Halo kinda way, but other than that it felt way more like Borderlands to me. Shoot at enemies, watch the health bar go down, rinse / repeat.
I'll be picking it up day 1 either way. I'd honestly be surprised if destiny will be enough to keep me away from MCC though. I'll give it as much time as I can before November.

Halo 3's aiming felt like moving a wet sponge across an old TV screen.
CE's felt like putting a needle on a record.
Halo 2's felt like you slipped and tore the record in half from pushing too hard, but the needle took a u-turn through that picture frame it got embedded in and planted itself firmly on the disc.
Halo 4 felt like having the upper body strength of an overweight baby trying to play a tune by holding three serving sizes of Doritos and a combat knife in the same hand and stabbing the record player until your mom came home with an actual record.
