We were the first game against Bungie. I had their stream set up and I timed our searches together at midnight and we got really lucky. We steaked them, uploaded the rendered video to my file share and youtube, and we were internet celebs for a couple weeks.

Wait, I remember that! I downloaded the clip that day! It's called "first game vs bungie" or something like that, right? I'm going to go check my saved films, but I'm nearly positive that's it.

Small world, huh?

We also got the LE details.

Duh, don't know how I forgot about that.

[daedalius]

I finally clicked on a control scheme. X to sprint, crouch stays on stick for me. It all fell into place.

Gud, I always have sprint on X, because Bumper Jumper is best. I hope a variant of it stays in H4.

Now time for Diabro.

Also, cringed a little when I saw my name next to Devo's in the real life pic folder ;)

[monsterfracas]

Yeah, that clip I have is the one you uploaded, Steelyuhas. Slayer on Powerhouse.
I also have one called "I got a steak" that is also slayer on powerhouse.

[zap]

Realized I was walking slower than my brother in CEA, so I downloaded a slow-turn checker and it turns out that my left stick got annihilated somehow. Apparently anything 80 and below is terrible, and I get like a 65-70. Well, time to buy that super secret screwdriver so I can pop that baby open. And I'm about to mass friend-request everyone on the HaloGAF tag list, since I don't see enough (or any) of you people. So don't be alarmed. You guys work for 343, right?

How do you check for slow turn? Link me?

[Steelyuhas]

Link?

It's nothing special, they were pretty bad lol.

Also, the bnet link to the game. Which calls me a liar, I guess we lined it up for the second game.

You should not be able to shoot grenades in multiplayer. ARGHHH. Hope it doesn't return in H4.

I love how that happens, it makes you feel like everything in the game is a physical object

[GhaleonEB]

Seriously.

So, I just had a great game on the Limited NEP with a random partner. Despite getting walloped by 24 Elites as our Round 1 boss wave, we live with five lives going into the second Round. We're rocking some good team work, cover each other and setting crossfires for tougher enemies. This is Limited play at its finest, intense, challenging and fun. Then the Heretic snipers roll in.

We survive two waves in the spawn room, on a cross fire trap, before both getting insta-domed by a sniper as the door opens. The next wave takes out all of our lives, and we're left with a room with a full squad inside. As I'm respawning, I become last man standing.

I toggle my spawn to the far left side walkway, despite knowing there are another eight of these guys roaming around the map, on top of the squad that's hunting me down. I take down one random DMR Elite as I get flushed off the walkway and into the dead-end entrance below (where you enter ONI in Campaign). I huddle behind the lone beam and recharge, the bolt back up onto the walkway using the middle ramp, leaving the squad hunting me on the far side. I loop into the spawn room, grab a Plasma Rifle for shield stripping, then head down the lower exit as the sniper enters and take shots at my backside.

I sprint across the narrow open courtyard span - gunfire galore breaks out all around me - and get up the relative safety of the landing on the far side of the map, across from the spawn room. I set up camp and am able to take down the three DMR Heretics that followed me from the room, with a combination of plasma and grenades. Shields gone, I head back down the hallway and into the spawn room. No sign of the sniper that is part of the squad.

I set up to the right of the inner doorway, and wait for him. I see the red dot on my radar, and ready the Plasma Rifle. If I've got my position correct, when he enters he'll go for the melee rather than the sniper rifle, and I can strip the shields to send him into his rage, lining up the headshot. Then I might have a chance to survive the wave.

About then my shields blow out. I turn around and see the sniper Elite has come through the rear tunnel. I don't even have time to fire back before he headshots me for the finish.

Just not fair, man.

[Homeboyd]

FF shenanigans

The fact that you're back to sharing your FF stories means we've taken a huge step in the right direction. Just a few more tweaks...

And I'll never be able to post a rendered last man standing episode again. I saved a clip the other night before realizing I had nothing to do with it from there. :(

Right I'm stuck with text, but hopefully I'll be able to do some old school picture posts come summer. Once the Limited NEP game type is fixed (here's hoping), I think it will be pretty great. The rounds before the Snipers roll in are a good balance of tough yet fair.

[Franklinator]

Haha, it's easier to deal with if I think someone's trolling!

In other news, Halo Aaniversary is $20 at the Microsoft Store

They're also doing a preorder deal where if you buy the regular edition from them they give you $25 credit.

[-Yeti]

Arcadefight and Limited NEP are really fun. I think I found a new home in Matchmaking.

[TCKaos]

GGs Ghouse, TCKaos and barlow, sorry for that epic fail on the Pit lol.

Yeah, same here. Still not as bad as my hilarious fail on Nexus.

Somebody grabbed the flag and tossed it straight off of the base. Having never played Nexus before and having just gotten out of a weird gunfight, I grab the flag and start headed towards a base. The wrong base.

Fun times, though.

Also the wireless controller are not affected by slow turn correct? So just buy one of those. God, the things I would do for aim acceleration toggle in Halo 4...

They can still be affected. The controller I use is one of the wirless Reach special edition ones. The slow turning comes from not being able to move the stick all the way in the proper direction due to the plastic casing where the stick is held being far thicker than it need be (be it shitty controller design or a manufacturing error). The real trick is that you need to get a special screwdriver for the wireless controllers versus and standard Phillips-head for the wired ones. Other than that the repairing process is identical.

[kittens]

What about them? I dunno if you're reaching for a "kyle thinks girls who get pregnant are trash but the guys are fine" angle but if so: lol.

I mean, well, yeah. I imagine you know how babbies are formed, and that it takes two people to make'em. I wonder, then, why you explicitly place judgement on women and omit any mention of men. I don't think you're total scum or anything like that, but it's rhetoric that I've seen thrown around a lot, and it concerns/bugs me.

And more on-topic, my little cousin (who's still rollin' with the AR + melee combo like a champ) had a good idea: a flying vehicle with an ejection seat. Maybe it could require some kind of button combo to activate? It could make for some fun encounters / maneuvers? Or maybe not. It'd look cool, at least.

[Franklinator]

A flying vehicle with an ejector seat would take my trolling up to maximum levels if I can eject other people.

:( Is there a PC app to try or something?

[bobs...onGaf]

What would be a reason to not have button mapping? High risk of exploits?

It's probably just too difficult to test, probably slightly safer for them to limit it unfortunately :(

It sucks but I'm ok with it if it avoids button glitches

[Demoncarnotaur]

Sorry, smoked the last of it for this list; Off the top of my head, in terms of setting and style (not necessarily map layout); - A Forerunner 'archive', a greenhouse-like series of enclosures with bizarre plant species surrounding a central Epitaph-style hall. 'Slides' containing various life-forms are constantly whizzing in and out of the room via mechanical claws and ceiling-mounted tracks, and you can shove other players into them for damage. - A Covenant listening post on a jungle planet. A massive tower sitting in a festering marsh. The lower areas are caked with mud and flooded while the upper areas are covered in vines and growth. A huge gas planet hangs overhead, giving everything a deep blue tinge that highlights the green forest and purple structure. - A human research facility in the arctic, set up like an oil platform. Huge waves crash up and over the deck (can push players off the stage) and there's a layer of ice on everything; chains, walkways, windows, everything. Beneath the upper deck and structures are small labs and maintenance hangars. When the waves crash, the whole level rocks back and forth and the labs hanging below the deck swing wildly. Layout very similar to Lockout. - An underwater Forerunner structure similar to parts of Halo 2's Regret. Large portions of the map are flooded, so there's waterfalls and stuff where different parts of the base connect. Lots of glass ceilings and tubes that you can see other portions of the level from, as well as strange alien critters. Like you're crawling through a sewer made of glass. - A BTB map in a wetland, but well-lit at sunset rather than the usual murky affair. Lots of low-hanging trees and mud everywhere, so when you go tearing around in a warthog it feels like you'd be better off in a boat. Have suspended foot bridges or wooden walkways, and lots of high grass to hide in, so infantry actually has a chance to evade vehicles. Maybe some concrete bunkers too. - A battle on the hull of a Covenant cruiser. Skybox is built to make it feel like you're fighting to board the craft in the middle of a large space battle (Sabres and banshees whizzing by, strafing the hull occasionally). Big turrets firing off into the battle, etc. You should feel like you're moving around insanely fast. - Would love to see a map use the atmosphere of ODST: Dark and rainy, destroyed and depressing. Lit with flashes of lightning. Something urban-feeling like the lovechild of Turf (narrow alleys, building-to-building combat) and Headlong (room for vehicles, lots of height and platforms). - Wouldn't mind seeing a Covenant factory with banshees or weapon pods being constructed all around you. Could be Colossus or Longest-like in terms of the conveyor belts and lifts and such. Lots of anti-gravity devices pushing components together, etc. The map itself could take place on walkways and light-bridges that can be switch on and off, leading to some interesting CTF matches with different routes being player-activated.

There are a ton of themes and locations that I would seriously love for MP to tackle, and some of these strike those wants head on. Man would I kill for something sub-aquatic, possible like an underwater research station that is beginning to leak...hm..man, so many opportunities in the Halo universe, I really hope 343 takes em.

Just under 2 weeks till E3. Never Forget. Every time I watch it, I get chills.

Yeah, this is an amazing e3 showing, so many new and awesome things.. its gonna be hard to capture that new sense of awe now. Not impossible, but its not gonna be easy if they plan to.

Also, the Halo 3 e3 announcement was epic, its a shame that we likely wont get a trailer like that for Halo 4...I really wish we would have got something between announcement and now.. ah well. I hope e3 delivers in both content and also deliver a memorable trailer.

[Steelyuhas]

Reach ruined Halo 3 for me. It's SOOO much more responsive compared to 3. I can't go back, even if I want to.

Yeah the FOV and feeling like you're fighting the controller make it pretty much unplayable for me after playing Reach.

I still haven't recovered from the back injury of that night.

"Well," I thought, "Might as well check it out."

I've made a huge mistake.

I was in the account activation queue for some 14 months or like, i had given up on getting my account activated by the time it was activated. I was under impression usually getting accounts activated doesn't take that long.
