I'd be down to play. I still need some achievements in Halo 2.

Sounds good to me
Don't forget to PM me.
For those of you who don't know, Halo 2 Vista comes with all the DLC and patches, PLUS TWO ALL NEW MAPS, both fit for assymetrical BTB.
Also no super jumping.

Actually I have played a game on that map before, I remember that part and the parking structure. I used a wired controller before but that broke so yesterday I ordered that knockoff wireless sync posted here. It should be here on Friday, I'll be on H2V then.
You still have to install it IIRC, so you're not going to be able to use it like a portable (in the software sense of the word) game. Tray and play allows you to play it immediately after you put it in your system while you install it in the background though.
what knockoff? Thats an official Microsoft accessory.

Well, you're out of luck.
They've said the DMR will win out at long range but will lose to the BR at mid-range. Weapons are balanced against each other at effective ranges. Although that's not to say a better player couldn't beat a BR user at mid-range with a DMR.

A slower rate of fire seems like a pretty good reason.

No, yesterday someone posted a knockoff on amazon that had prime shipping some pages back. I hope it's the same as the official one :S

There has been very little talk about the pistol for halo4. I'm very interested in hearing more info on it. The pistol in Reach would have been an excellent alternative or at least a perfectly viable alternative to the DMR, and AR for that matter, if it had only been given a larger clip. So i'm really hoping that the pistol isn't a pile of crap come November. Thoughts?
We can choose our weapons. BR or DMR (or both?) means no-one is too worried.

is it really too much to ask for teammates who don't go negative? Is knowing how to shoot someone in this game really that rare of a quality? good lord.

Curious to see what they do with it. Considering that will be picking our weapons, and DMR and BR are in the game, I'm assuming the Pistol is a secondary weapon. If it is, it will be interesting to see how they differentiate it from the DMR/BR besides just being shittier, and if it isn't a secondary, but a primary loadout weapon, then it will be very interesting to see what they've done with it.

Heh, I meant I think there will probably be more than one human pistol.

I'm not really worried about the BR or the DMR. If 343 wants there to be no single dominant weapon, I think they will at least try to make the pistol halfway decent. But I just like the pistol as a weapon in general. Gunslinging is the best. So as long as it's not completely gimped, I'm sure I'll be using it a lot.
Haha. I don't mind dual-wielding, but it would mean the pistol by itself isn't very strong. That would make me sad. [EDIT] Just saw you clarify your post. Good call. I'd love to see more than one version, personally.
I can see it being more effective at close range, and adequate at medium range assuming the wielder has a little bit of skill. As much as I'd love to see it beefed up enough to serve as a primary weapon, I'm guessing 343 won't do that. So then it will probably come down to how much range they want it to have and how powerful they want it to be at close to medium range. As long as it can counter the AR, I suppose I can live with that.
Try running it in compatibility modes?
Wont work, its like its eating up my CPU usage which causes the game to get all sorts of fucked up.

It's the new live-action ARG
The DMR in Reach is glorious. bad BTB babies who occasionally get wrecked on big maps cry about it, but it's so nice having a weapon that can nail people at longer distances. The H3 BR tapped out at like, 15 feet. Not surprised to hear H4 DMR > BR.
Now bring that setup to Boston so I can try it out plz.

Psh. First people steal my Frankie avatar idea and now my bad jokes.

It's really not. What have they actually added/changed? More grey maps. Updates to grey maps in BTB. Mutating 'Super Slayer' from its original intention (a TU Team Slayer carbon copy) to a mixed bag of bollocks in which ZB mingles with 85% bloom and more inevitably poor grey maps weigh it down further into poor population. They made the MM changes look substantial by giving a sub heading to each minor change but hardly anything was altered for the better. The Objective voting slot change was the one sliver of sensible, logical playlist management.
But... most importantly...
SQUAD DLC REMAINS VANILLA!!!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Yes plz.
But I am glad 343 is reaching out to some community members for their opinions. Hopefully some good will come from it.

With this change, it's 40% of the game complete payout.
With quick matching, it's still more lucrative to finish games quickly, but in no less than 90 seconds (the time required to get a slot payout).
People that farm kills in TO are still going to continue that behavior with this change, and they'll walk away with more cR as an additional reward. Even if you devised a system that could detect a significantly superior team purposely delaying the game for the purpose of farming kills and awarded them 0 cR as a result, they'd still do it because their primary incentive is raising their kill/death ratio.
Track objective stats apart from overall stats, and omit kill/death statistics in lieu of objective-centered statistics and you remove this carrot that is encouraging poor sportsmanship. Hey, that applies to Grifball as well...
