Halo |OT8| A Salt on the Control Room

Got cut due to the approval process for patches on both systems. PS3 version has KB+M support though and I kind of wonder if the 360 version does too.

Hey FFXI did so its possible but unlikely.
Only MMOs are allowed to have keyboard input in-game under MS regs. Only Nintendo and Sony allow KBAM for game input.
Which is funny if you consider that Western companies were responsible for popularizing gaming with keyboards.
Dammit Microsoft
Yeah, their walled garden approach is grating sometimes. All 3 have some form it.. but.. you could easily make a cross platform game across PS3/PC/Wii(U) but then you get hit with MS's double whammy of "Xbox players only play Xbox players" and "We won't license your game if it has exclusive features on the other consoles". Sony won't let you release a PS3 game after a 360 version if it doesn't have some sort of exclusive DLC. Microsoft basically won't let you release a 360 version after a PS3 version. Nintendo mostly just cares that the game doesn't set the Wii on fire.
Already preordered on PC, most of my main online friends jumped to PC gaming and have it preordered there too so I have people to play with on the regular. Might double dip if a lot of my xbox friends get it.
Beta is really good, such pure and timeless gameplay style prettier than ever. Completely embarrasses all the ironsights/sprint/perk shit games that are supposed to pass by good online games nowadays.
Truer words have never been spoken.
Link: The Faces of Evil is to Zelda as George Lazenby is to Bond.
Imagine KB+M users destroying the rest of players who are using dual analog sticks. I'm ok with no KB+M.

The idea back when they were thinking of having cross platform play (and I guess will be tested in the PS3 version) is that the matchmaking will mix them both together, and if one ends up overtaking the other then they'll just naturally be matched at a higher plateau once the dust has settled. If someone manages to be good with a controller enough to go neck and neck with KB+M people then great, but if not they get sectioned off by performance in the end regardless of input method.
No thanks.
IIRC you don't pick up weapons from the map anyways so what's the problem. @_@
AWP is god like, also you can't buy it every single round.
The best player is never me so yeah.
I must rely on the other guy being a bigger idiot than me. This is how I play all my games.
No idea, but if it is on two discs, there may be enough space for it to be feasible? I'm not sure.

CS on OG Xbox was amazing so not really
that's what i thought. or they could do it the ME3 way and offer the original sound files as a free download via XBL.
i'd really like to know what's up - i'd prefer to preorder the regional version, simply because i can pick that up on day one. but if that's only in german, i'd preorder the UK import. i'm done with "cheap" out-of-context 3rd party translations...
Wut.
Syndicate went back today, going to hold on to Spec Ops for a while though. Should have Biopoop 2 in the next few days.

Too much posting, not enough relevance I guess?
Also, I'm probably gonna get the DLC that tops your rank up about another 10 levels on BS2.
Although, I admit, TF demo, seems very dumbed down, will give the game a chance however.
Did you wanna do the H3 campaign run through in October? I have Myyke, and Krow, you can be our 4th.
I've played 1.6 and CSS to death on pc. I can't imagine playing it without a keyboard and mouse.CS on OG Xbox was amazing so not really
I think I managed to literally beat the enjoyment out of him through my use of aircraft mode boost + melee in the Transformers demo.

I haven't been back to it since, is no game safe from your (cheap) tactics?
shockingly it works pretty well.
I'm gonna sell my xbox in september and I will prolly b gon by october. But put me down anyways.
Transformers is gonna suck man. Dont rent that.

Woo, barely relevant but I just got a score of 2.7 billion on Pacifism in Geometry Wars 2 netting me the leaderboard spot of 117.
I was going to say I couldn't really melee people in Battlefield 3, but I guess 1,878 MAV roadkills technically counts as melee...

You could say that about Halo.
Remember that teased sandbox podcast tweeted by David... Any idea when that's going to be released?

Has there been a game that's done space combat "right"?
Has there been a game that's done space combat "right"?
i got killed by a MAV maybe 2 or 3 times, they're so easy to shoot down, especially when coming straight for you. never understood the outrage.
demanding advanced weapons and in the same breath suggesting the continuing use of limited "propellant"?
i quote the internet: "umad?"
clueless nails it. no situational awareness, ignoring the minimap, preferring random spread over controllable recoil... smh
i prefer the hectic capital ships and fighter combat seen in star wars, or ME3 (i love that cutscene prior to the battle in london), for entertainment purposes.
hell, the one game i'd love to see refurbished for current or next-gen consoles (or PC, i don't care) would be Lucasart's TIE Fighter (or a successor).
imagine the scale of space battles that would be possible now. imagine the battle of endor, playable, as a 1:1 copy of what we see in the movie!

Oh, I agree, when Myyke and sometime Over, used their MAV against me, all I did was duck, and shoot it as it came back towards me. Or used a lock on rocket, when it used to be flying in the air.
But you tell that to the randoms on BF3. I've never seen an online population as clueless as they are, this generation.
I've never enjoyed the 3D titles as much as the 2D ones. Link's Awakening is hands-down my favorite Zelda, and I've got good memories of playing Oracle of Seasons/Ages--the link cable/password functionality of those games was pretty amazing.
Not to my knowledge. Real space combat would be a bunch of ships painted black shooting missiles at each other from tens of thousands of kilometers away. That's boring.
Personally I like the naval combat aesthetic of Star Trek more, but depending on how you look at it that's even more ridiculous.
It got pulled because on the 360, users having the camo cause some framerate problems. They, instead of pulling Camo out of the map, removed the entire thing.
There was the same issue in Colossus when they did Ninja CTF (flag carrier was invisible) when played on the 360. It had emulation issues, but they had ways around them. They simply did not execute them properly.
I see you bitch, or try to be a comedian, about everything. Is there a game in the series you do like, and a multiplayer? If so I hadn't seen it.
The hill was the reason the map turned into a middle hill-base cross-fire 99% of the time. Another repeated topic, but that's fine. If there's a middle hill it needs to be flattened and spread across the entire canyon/valley. Containment did it ten times better, and somehow got Scorpions to work in the map. Also it was pretty narrow. Weapons that perform better than the Halo 3 BR would make the map more frustrating to navigate since it was never large, or had tons of places to go to, anyways.
Ever played Kerbal Space Program? Something like that would be interesting, the constant threat of hurtling out of control from the slightest error. Having to cope with any damage you receive, as well as mico-managing fuel, coolant, weapons.
It's not a game I'd pay £40 for, but one I'd like to play nonetheless.
The best map for me for MAV kills was Operation Metro, I would just fly through the corridors and most people would just stand there and stare at me while I slowly buzzed into them.
6Gb worth of patches could not fix this.
that whole game was a lesson on how not to do a console FPS.
Poor campaign
Useless Coop
Complete silence during online multiplayer
Ship it. And patch when the giant sandbox collapses inwards on itself.
