Because for a game to be good it needs to have good graphics, right?

/sarcasm

It needs to not have awful graphics/art style yes.

 

[Overdoziz]

how is the netcode? i'm afraid to buy an online mp indie game with my shit internet

It's surprisingly good.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Haven't Microsoft really cracked down on that practice thought?

I wouldn't know how to create one anyway to be honest.

No not really they actually changed it to make it easier by adding a huge License Transfer option to the account settings.

Also I am pretty sure the license is on your xbox when you buy it on any account now.

 

[op_ivy]

It's surprisingly good.

ok, i'll check it out.

Played a bunch of games today with a few gaffers. Game is really fun. Hopefully we can get some more Halo maps.

Networking for the game is pretty unstable. Games disconnect a lot. One thing that may get old is how you can start with the sniper; every game becomes a snipe match. Would be nice if they could allow you to force weapon starts and spawn certain weapons around the map.

I am sure we can do weapon placements and ect when the game goes out of beta.

Had an absolute blast playing this. Netcode held up well with Europeans and Americans in the game.

Game crashed my Xbox twice though has to be said.

Team Slayer needs to set team colours instead of just colouring the gamertag.

It would also be great if you could have a pre-set loadout so you didn't have to constantly select snipe and pistol every spawn.

40 points short... damn it, bing rewards here i come

 

[blamite]

Alright, bought it after trying a bit of zombie survival. Seems pretty neat, getting on multiplayer now.

GT is blamite prime, although I may or may not have a mic at any given time.

I'm 120 points short. Can I get that quickly with Bing rewards?

 

[feel]

So much fun playing snipers on Lockout, it actually feels more like Halo than I was expecting. Might be because it's new and I'm excited about the concept, but I'd seriously rather be playing this than Reach while waiting for Halo 4. Would be awesome if a decently sized community grew around this game.

 

[Gowans]

It also has a zombies mode haha buying now.

We need a GAF gamertag for friend Of friend invites

I have a feeling there will be a decent chunk of people playing this. Game is already #2 top rated and Ninja is doing a stream right now with people saying they are buying it.

uh, probably not. if you've never signed up though, you can rack up a decent amount really quickly, but not sure its enough to even get a 100 pt card.



i guess i'll bite the bullet and add a decent chunk to get mark of the ninja AND this...

[Talents]

Any easy way for people in the UK to get 20 MS points? The reward thing don't work outside US.

 

[Max]

IS THAT LOCKOUT IN THE FIRST PICTURE?

edit: oh that's just really cool, watching Ninja's stream

Steam Greenlight please!

 

[Tashi]

Whoa it's an Indie Game? That's impressive.

 

[wwm0nkey]

IS THAT LOCKOUT IN THE FIRST PICTURE?

Yup its not in the base game but the devs are spreading the maps out.

We have Lockout, Hang Em High and Chill out. Also Facility and Complex from Golden Eye.

Full map maker to so remakes are endless.

 

[op_ivy]

i gotta say, watching the ninja stream this looks more like a gimmick then a fun game.

 

[Gowans]

The UI!!! Feels like an alpha but the fun is there, everyones playing lockout.

I think someone is remaking the Halo 4 maps right now.

 

[Gowans]

I can see this game growing well, should be a blast with a few friends together.

 

[Nowise10]

How do we get those beloved Halo maps...?

 

[PNut]

[Fracas]

So this is basically Halo 4 for the time being?

Will buy tonight.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Bought this earlier today and aside from some framerate problems, I had a lot of fun playing.

 

[TCKaos]

So this is basically Halo 4 for the time being?

Will buy tonight.

I think we can call it Combat Evolved 2.

 

[Easystride]

Hope someone makes Headlong

 

[cluto]

Most fun I've had with a "Halo" game in a long time.

 

[Krabboss]

Really wish Australia had indie games.

Americans complain about the cost of Live yet they get the best version of it at the cheapest price available.

The lack of indie games is entirely the fault of our government, rather than Microsoft just being lazy about providing the service here too. We aren't allowed to play unrated games here, which is what all the indie games are.

Creating a second account with your location in the US is super easy. You can then buy codes for points on Amazon.

You were just in my game!

 

[Korosenai]

This game is a lot of fun.

Just played in Overdoziz game.

I'm on right now with the maps.

 

[cluto]

I do things like that. Overdoziz, is your lobby public?

 

[Franklinator]

Got a code for this from the Halo thread, gonna try it out tonight.

 

[bobs...onGaf]

So the question is, does it play like Halo?

 

[Reagan's BR]

I do things like that. Overdoziz, is your lobby public?

Join our party for chat.

 

[NervousXtian]

My son plays Miner of Duty all the time.

 

[Korosenai]

I like how this game has a built in thruster pack.

 

[Gospel]

is that a Hang em High look-alike in that trailer?

I like how this game has a built in thruster pack.

should've mentioned that in the pm. thruster pack in any game is usually insta-buy.

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Is there any way to see what the opening video was? I skipped it to jump straight into multi but kind of want to check it out.

 

[wwm0nkey]

.

That is Hang Em High

 

[Overdoziz]

More then Reach does.
I should really remake Sanctuary in this. I'll start with it on Wednesday.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

My son plays Miner of Duty all the time.

Damn, makes me think they should've named this Murder Miners: Combat Evolved to get more attention ;]

 

[BLACKLAC]

I'm loving this so far!

 

[bobs...onGaf]

This game is awesome, basically is Halo 1, Blood Gulch needs remaking.

 

[op_ivy]
