Yeah good games you got to see the amazing state of affairs in Slayer and Snipers. Cage, Cage, Cage. But we got to kick ass in Snipers even though our teammates were going negative hard or quitting out on us.Tashi0106 said:

I think a lot of "quitters" on invasion are actually people getting booted for accidental betrayals. Since reach doesn't boot the whole party like Halo 3 did, I am guessing the other players leave along with their friends. I understand booting someone who is intentionally team killing, but reflexive booting on the first betrayal is annoying.Mikasangelos said:

Checking the time it takes to matchmake 'good connection' games for me in the Arena tonight.
First game: 7 minutes. And the connection was actually good! And I came third against a mix of silvers and golds.
Second game: 7 minutes. Connection is decent. I come third again, though the whole opposing team is bronze. Top two guys are American.
Third game: 11 minutes. Connection is nothing to complain about, and I come first. Their team has one gold, one bronze, and two unplaced.
Fourth game: 4 minutes! Scottish accents in the lobby! Best connection of the night, I come fifth narrowly. Their team is two gold, two silver.
Not bad, though I spent as much time getting in games as I did playing them.

Anyway, been busy this week, so I gotta be late in saying welcome back frankie (and hoping letters posts that gif again :lol )
Anyway, a few pages back people were talking about 343 and Bungie and what they'd due with stats when it's handed to 343, right? Well, I don't know if a simple transfer of everything could happen or not (like just transfer the data over from Bungie's servers to 343's, or something), but it wouldn't be the first time Bungie "lost" the matchmaking of one of their games due to a IP move. Way back when, Myth and Marathon's (not to sure about Marathon though) Net Play was stopped for good in 2002 (though mariusnet still has games up). At least with Halo, Reach (and maybe 3) will be supported for a long time.
That's probably already known by people, but I'm sure 343 and Bungie have something figured out. It'll be weird that Halo stuff won't be on B.net, but 343.net (or waypoint.net? halo.net?) won't be the end of current stat tracking/matchmaking.
Hopefully I didn't botch up the history of bungie.net too badly, or whatever and just completely missed the point of the conversation, or whatever. I'm really exhausted. Gonna go dream about armor lock.
or whatever

I just read some of the proposed doubles arena changes from a couple of weeks back. Removing Armor Lock? I like it but how will I fight against 4 rockets in Double Arena now? God I hate RL's in Doubles.
Anyone have a few render seconds to spare for this weapon drop fail from above?
Edit: now rendered thanks to ???

Hey, give Bungie a break. What else are they supposed to talk about? It's not like they have a new IP in development with another publisher to which Bungie owns the rights to and thus could tease in each of their Weekly Updates leading to its launch.
Sheesh.

When I first moved up to the Pacific NW I tried acclimating by letting my facial hair get out of CONTROL! Seriously, it was like a the Flood had taken control of my beard.
Not exactly proud of this picture.
:lol
Personally, I found the update pretty awesome. Love seeing screens of stuff when it was in progress. Especially when they look like the best looking Halo 2/3 maps ever.

And drop in/out is the most annoying feature. I don't want to finish other people's games. I don't know where all the complaining about quitting is coming from. I have barely run into any, and if one person on the other team quits, who cares? I think some of you are taking this way too seriously

Those before and after pictures are amazing, in Anchor 9 it looks like theyre using Halo 1 assets for mass out. Its insane how far Halo has come graphically.
I still wanna see a video of someone traversing Anchor 9, it seems like the space station just opens up to outer space, once you jump out how the hell do you get back in? :lol

Uh, isn't that one map in a part of the Glacier setting, I may be seeing it wrong.
If it is, wouldn't that imply there will be frame issues?

I've had Emile up and disappear entirely on Nightfall, couldn't locate his beacon or anything. I figure a Hunter probably launched him down a chasm.NOKYARD said:
This is where NPC teleportation, while unrealistic, can be very handy. At least in the case of levels with large drops, throw in some trigger volumes that'll trigger a "NPC stuck" condition or something when they fall down there. Would fix the most egregious of the problems (and would allow allies to still fall behind on foot).

Today I played a game with someone from across the country. During said game one of my space bullets fired miliseconds later than it should of. Fucking bullshit Bungie.NullPointer said:
I want to play from the moon with no lag.
bs bungie.
I bet you can play CoD from the moon, without bloom.
Nah, has to be modded for now.Domino Theory said:
No it wouldn't... It would just be Halo: CE again - aka: awesome.Shake Appeal said:
Nah, it'd be Halo 3 again, mixed with a bit of Halo 2. Classic Reach suggests nerfing the pistol, which isn't Halo: CE-ish at all.Devin Olsen said:
And I had the worst game with lag on firefight ever yesterday. I can't even describe how bad the input lag was. I counted a FULL 2 seconds between me inputting a forward movement, and my dude actually moving forward.
Needless to say, the time ran out before we finished the second set of Firefight. It was absolutely horrid.

Dammit broadband! Why won't you work? I started three games and lagged out of each and now my connection to the internet dies every five minutes and takes about three minutes to reconnect.

It was even funnier that she continued to talk for the remainder of the segment. I would have seen how far it may have gone but i was attempting a no-death run and was killed by a stray Banshee.Botolf said:
If you want to have fun with this try loading The Pillar of Autumn mission at Rally Point Alpha. Make your way past the Invasion and smelter areas. In the area where you encounter the two Hunters climb to the top of the building to avoid the battle. Those two Hunters smack Emile to all corners of the map including the valley below. At least Emile always returns for more.

Imagine Halo in 60fps.
That would be awesome. No more random framerates messing with your gameplay in MP. Just pure silk.
Shadowrun did it, why can't Halo?
