I should be on the podcast. I'll talk for nineteen hours about how Skyrim is awesome and Mass Effect 3's ending sucks and at the end realize I don't play Halo anymore. I can also bitch about anything Halo 4-related, if need be.

I should not be on the podcast.

Has Reach got laggier recently? Do servers deteriorate or am I just crazy? I have had a ton of laggy games on Reach in the last 3-6 months, which goes against the silky smooth connection the game had early last year. Could be problems on my end, but other games seem fine.

Yeah, I've been having a lot of lag lately too. Weird.

Right before you go on, I would like to take a few seconds to remind you Firefight has been cut and it's been confirmed (pretty much everywhere aka Kotaku) that Spartan Ops will be nothing close to a replacement.

So, you know.. let me know if they book you.

Spartan Ops sounds like a natural evolution of the concept, a more mission-focused co-op mode. I saw that everyone thought I'd be on suicide watch, but I'm actually quite excited about it. :lol

It's a Host-Client infrastructure, so the servers don't deteriorate lol.

Is there anything I can do to become a better sniper. I've been playing Halo online since Halo 2, and I have put thousands of hours into it...yet no matter how much I practice, I still suck at sniping. Is there any hope for me? Are there any kind of training exercises I can try? Or am I just destined to be a poor sniper forever?

Maybe lower your sensitivity? Try always going for the sniper rifle in matchmaking. If you feel like playing Campaign, play Nightfall (I think that's the one where you start with the sniper).

Something I'll do sometimes, if your target's moving left/right instead of right at you, walk in the direction they are if you have the room. let auto aim do the work for you, and boom. Headshot.

Also, don't feel bad about going for the double body shot. Or let randoms weaken someone, then get the killing body shot. Who cares, it's randoms lol.

In mid to close range combat, do what I call the "quickdraw". If someone pops up on radar, stop and let them come to you. Scope in, let them walk in, and go for the quick body shot. Finish off with your secondary.

Nice little story from Josh, I imagine that was a pretty frightening moment just a day into a new, daunting job. But seriously, why the hell did they show that entire intro? It wasn't even relevant to the story.

After the content rush a few days ago I feel a little malnourished at the moment; then I think back to those months where we had literally nothing, and we were left guessing when the first grain of info would materialise.

Wasn't there a Halogaf montage due over a year ago? I remember submitting some sweet blains but I think the user who opted to cut the thing together either got banned or went AWOL. Now I don't even play Reach anymore for obvious reasons.

Still editing. It's going to be a while.

I have a big Excel spreadshit of clip descriptions and authors. I'm capturing clips, putting together a rough timeline in Vegas, deciding if I want to go back and capture a different angle, etc.

Soon.™ When it's done.™ I can't share any more at the present time, but stay tuned.™

I'm just joshin man!

Get it? Joshin? Like Josh Holmes? Because of the video.. you know.. that daedalius posted. From Game Informer... that wasn't really very good. Because it didn't really have anything to do with Halo 4... and they played that long intro that everyone is talking about... yeah.. I didn't think it was good either. But you know.. they've got a month to fill so.. some days are going to be better than others. Why are you complaining? Seriously, I mean.. they dont HAVE to give you info, do they? Be more appreciative.

Damn.

Assholes.

Well let's take a vote then to get this over with...

1. Breaking the Ceiling
2. The Halo Honor Podcast
3. Dongcast

Those seem to be the 3 most popular.

I vote for 1. It has a nice ring to it

But I vote Breaking the Ceiling!

I'm with 3. Breaking the Ceiling is one of those things that was initially funny but it's over usage has killed it. Similar to OONSK. And not just that, but it doesn't even make sense because you clearly are capable of getting an overkill.

If it is 3 though that kind of prohibits a lot of HaloGAF from contributing.

Dongcast. I think we could probably come up with a better name, though.
