At least it is in the same country.
There's no proper gaming conventions in Finland (but DigiExpo, which is more of a general electronics expo, and not particularly good one when it comes to games. At best we have months old stuff).
I knew I was fucked when I died on that before the cinematic black bars could even go away

Wait, so I can get banned, then come back to halogaf only?
Do I need to make a second alt if I get banned just to post in gafhop or how does it work?

Gravemind on Legendary is no doubt the hardest level in the entire series. Im scared knowing I'm going to have to do it again.
Rest of the level isn't that difficult, once you have the Carbine and possible a Beam Rifle (or a Fuel Rod Gun), everything's relatively easy, as with all the levels.

Just posted up a little cello improv ditty on Soundcloud. It's meant to be somewhere between Halo and Journey, but it's part of my own stuff, it's not meant to be a predictive "halo 5 theme" or whatever.
We had a good time, didn't we?

Barvo lives!
The start of Regret is significantly harder; the Halo 2 needler may suck but it still reliably supercombines against Brutes. Then there is the trick to outright skip most of the waves that is used in speed running.
If you guys want less pain when going through Halo 2 Legendary, I seriously suggest watching a speedrun and replicating some of the tricks. It will save you hours, easily.

Now Bravo is the Kohai.
A very good time
You should go back to the redhead avatar. She was a certified qtπ
There's not much harm in skipping some parts of missions. The techniques themselves are rather ingenious.

I was just breaking balls.
Speedruns were the only way I could ever beat halo 4 and reach laso.
Look forward to seeing all the halo 2 tricks that have been discovered over the years.
Someone do something about this.
Or just put the infinite ammo skull on, and the skull that makes grunts blow up and it'll be 500X easier.
You did LASO on halo 4?

Unfortunately yeah, was bed ridden for 5 months with an illness and played a lot of games.
Speed run tricks made it pretty easy actually. Got a shit load of credits and the skull emblem for doing it. In a way it was so tedious it was fun, but reach was definitely more enjoyable. It's not impossible, just needs a lot of patience and time.
Never again though.

Ahh LASO challenges, I think I did it once in Halo 4 but a bazillion of times in Reach

I just wish they would stop putting blind skull in the game, that skull alone just makes LASO runs suck so much. The malfunction skull from CEA would be better, but it doesn't really work since dying just resets the whole level so I dunno.

What's the malfunction skull? Is that auto aim removal?
I hope that skull returns. No better test of your skills then playing CEA legendary with no auto aim. It's incredible the difference it makes. I'm sure playing that would in turn make you a better player overall.
Auto aim always felt like a racing game with automatic gearbox. At least with a skull we have the option. CEA was the only game to have it right?

I think Bungie removet it from LASO challenges in Reach after the 4 mission and later on Halo 4 was completely excluyed.

It disables a random HUD element each respawn, rather than the entire HUD altogether. The Eye patch skull disables auto aim in CEA, and then the fog skull disables the motion tracker.
I can imagine how tedious 4 would be do on LASO. I can see why reach would be more enjoyable of the pair to do. At least your are better hopefully.
Auto aim removal is eyepatch. Malfunction disables a random part of your hud.

I'll be on late-night Halo tonight, but thought I'd drop in and just say that Weird Al's new album is just brilliant.
What time?
Computron is clearly better at this than I am. It also doesn't help that the Engineering department decided to take away my 3dsMax when I changed majors, but oh well.
I started with a piece of concept art from Isaac Hannaford. If you don't know who that is, then go check out his site. If you do know who it is, check it again. He's definitely one of the most precise artists I've seen, and I really enjoy all of his work. Anywho, here's the full Assault Rifle concept image page. I chose the middle one, because I didn't want the Airsoft gun look of previous ARs, but I didn't want it to look Mass Effect-y.
I was going to fuck with HaloGAF a while back, but it wasn't quite up to my standards. What I was going to do was slap the following gif on a shaky cam gif of my desktop, but it didn't look the best and I knew it wouldn't fool anyone(maybe HaloFollower).
That was back when I was maybe 20% done with modelling. I cleaned a bunch of stuff up, made it less jagged, and just made it a bit nicer looking. For the few of you that do care, here's what I have today. I made a few changes, mostly because I would mess up but like the accident, so I would keep it.
Comments and criticisms are appreciated.

Only real critique I have so far is that it looks a little "disembodied" near the rear of the gun right before the barrel starts up. That is, the left half and right half (bottom pic) of the model don't look like they're as immediately connected as they are in the Hannaford concept. Otherwise it's looking good!

Looks neat. Are you going to make the bevels bigger? Right now the edges, especially near the back, look too sharp.

The assault rifle concept one to the right of Karl's modelling subject is rather nice:
I can see a grenade launcher attachment for the AR in the future, and its scare me.

Press LT + RT to use grenade launcher attachment
Scares all of us, dude. The reflex sight on the BR in the Halo 5 art is unsettling.

Lol mine was PrincipalPluto. Hello Dandelion xD
Also I've been off of halo for a few days but will be back on very soon.
That wouldn't be a good thing to have. But that assault rifle concept itself looks really like the reach one concept art:
Well I think it does.
I was actually thinking of adding more beside the grip/flashlight, connecting the top/bottom and left/right.
Eventually, yeah. I'm not too fond of the 90° angles right now.
That was in my final three. Oddly enough, it was that entire row that I was ultimately deciding on. I ended up eliminating that one first out of the three because it was shorter than the others, and there's another gun that I want to have a shorter silhouette.The assault rifle concept one to the right of Karl's modelling subject is rather nice:
Isaac Hannford also did that piece, so there's definitely bound to be similarities.

Xbox One is dry as a desert right now imo
Maybe Titanfall is good enough. The Destiny beta next week will be the best thing on the platform since launch I think.
