Halo 3 and ODST brutes look like they are wearing Elite armor. Looks so silly.

Well, the civil war did start due to their uncontrollable hat envy.



Oh man, that looks great (in a profoundly dumb way). I like those silly space bros.

I miss Honour Guards

Next tourney, which I guess would be sometime after h4 fits, teams should just be more localized. That way it's easier to get everyone in the room rather than making some people play at odd as fuck hours. When it comes to those teams having to square off then it can just be morning/afternoon for NA folk and night (but not late night) for euros. If you're in Australia, then whatever, you're just fucked all of the time.

This.
Hire her fracas.

[FyreWulff]

Why don't Community Cartographers go find good maps instead of just waiting for crap (literally) to be submitted? System sucks.

Why don't you submit some maps then?

So frigging goood.

I liked Halo 3 Brutes and i think they're fine as armored enemies, interesting mix of primitive and advanced but ultimate i prefer Halo 2 arrangement, advanced Elites and primitive Brutes.

And that change of guard, Brutes fighting for the helmet, the Arbiter watching dismayed... (is it "in dismay" or "dismayed"?)

We need that in modern graphics.

Somehow, Halo 2's story and cinematics have burned to my brain, unlike any other game (well, i guess there are a couple of more).

A separate Euro and American bracket would definitely be nice. Then have a final between the winner of either bracket.

That's how the next one will be done.

Although apparently I shouldn't be part of its organization.

At some point, we must recognize that Covenant headgear got freaking ridiculous.

It's hard as heck organising anything for HaloGAF. =)

[xxjuicesxx]

Because the system that has been setup for CC doesn't work and everybody knows it?

[Devolution]

Nah you're okay. People always flake or stuff gets busy for folks and they can't commit like they wish they could.

[juryben]

In all seriousness, has the Halo 4 alpha been leaked?

I come from the modding scene which I'm not active in anymore and a few friends of the scene sent me a clip and few leaked screen shot. If they're worth something I'll edit the info out and post them.

Some network test leaked, pre-E3 2012. As i understood it. NOT shared. AFAIK.
Some pics were posted here.
Dick move, if you ask me.

[monsterfracas]

Things I'd introduce for the next one:

-European and US brackets
-Capping number of entrants at a certain number, then making the rest alternates
-Set up a schedule early and adhere to it
-Letting people decide who captains are, instead of choosing them

To name a few.

No.

You and Kittens did a good job. It is hard as hell setting up a tournament. Especially one based within a varied community.

And, anyway, its a process of learning, you did some mistakes. You learnt from it. You apply that to the next tournament.

[juryben]

Sure its not old stuff from Barngate?

No. Let me get my paint skillz going and I'll post a pic or two. And I guess it has been leaked, but they ain't telling cause I sold my dev kit.

[Devolution]

Also H4 probably won't have enough time invested in acquiring stats, so I suggest for any sort of H4 tourney you just have people square off in FFAs with whatever playlist settings (you know sans armor abilities or lack of killstreak type stuff) you are going to use for the tourney and just organize based on those stats. Playing randos on live isn't a good measurement for skill against fellow HaloGAF anyway.

[ElzarTheBam]

Aww snap.

Have you been up to date on what has been released and leak? I couldn't care less of cell phone pics of BR's and shotguns.

[NobleGundam]

OddBarn SwordGate? Just wanted to try that out haha

[FyreWulff]

Because the system that has been setup for CC doesn't work and everybody knows it?

So you want certain maps in matchmaking, but you don't want to bother submitting them, so the system doesn't work?

[monsterfracas]

Holy balls. Leak fast! I have work in an hour, lol.

Thanks, man. I know I goofed in certain areas, but if I do decide to be part of the next one, it'll definitely be better.

Something I've thought about, but it may lose interest over time (like this one did tbh):

Organize into teams, and do a "season". Divide up into conferences/division, and everyone plays a game or two each week. Do trades, have "free agents" available to pick up, etc.

Could be incredible if everyone kept with it.

[Trey]

This Halo stream is godlike. Got me in the mood(s).

That's how the next one will be done. Although apparently I shouldn't be part of its organization.

You did good, kid.

[kylej]

Eh, we prolly didn't set things up the best way to start with. I appreciate you helming the tourney, though. Next time leave it to someone else.

How nice of you.

[monsterfracas]

I had honestly thought Fuchsdh's opinion was that of the majority.

I appreciate it, guys :)

[Devolution]

HaloGAF is always like "YEAH TOTALLY THIS SOUNDS GOOD."

Then after a week they're like "fuck it I got shit to do Reach blows anyway."

Think you did a good job, just seems like their was communication problems. Not sure how well trades and shit would work out. Could cause tension. Like the seasonal play idea

[dangerbyrnes]

no, i think you did a really good job for the first time.

i think the way it is set up needs to be modified. things like a set schedule for when matches need to be done by(no rescheduling deadlines), set it up to account for time zones, i know it seems unnecessary but we need to have at least one person constantly reminding teams to play their match (not saying you didn't). also rules that account for when a certain player cant make it. this tourney was not a failure, it was a test to see what worked and what didn't.

EDIT: beaten

probably better to do tourneys with a game everyone doesn't hate as well

The tourney, at least for our team, went fine. All our games were timely and against original teams aside from one which featured the mercenary known as cocamola.

Umm.

NAT randomly opened again.

Pretty cool I guess.

Regarding the leak, we get a clear look at the rail gun an reticle. Not much new here though. Railgun Display seems to have bars for charging the shot. The most notable thing about this picture is the radar. Looks like it keeps track of objects outside of its range and displays vehicles by their shape, not just a bigger blip. All stuff we've seen before though :/

[mastrbiggy]

quote that pic, jee bus.

DAT RAILGUN

EDIT: Is there an ammo count on that bad boy?

[monsterfracas]

Umm. NAT randomly opened again. Pretty cool I guess.

I've been having that problem lately too, no idea what causes it.

Also, that's Longbow, right?

[ElzarTheBam]

That's how mongoose are created.

Didn't you ever get the talk?

[Devolution]

Next time could you just post the image rather than having us go offsite?

[dangerbyrnes]

the railgun looks like an elongated assault rifle

[VivaciousJazzy]

MLG community on this arena gaming stream makes me happy I never have to interact with anyone in the MLG community. Its like they try to out dbag each other.

Twitch stream chats are bottom of the scum bucket of gaming.
