How does Prisoner play as an FFA map? Still burdened by crazy spawns and lopsided games based on who has control of the OS area?
My expectations for the Bulletin: MLG update, minor tweaks to some other playlists, and some info on Warhouse and/or Wraparound. I follow the Ghaleon model of Bulletin anticipation.
Basically, whoever is on top wins so long as they can stay there since everyone else spawns below.

GodlyPerfection made the map.
That's just how the spawn system works in Reach with fewer players. It's designed to put you as far away from a perceived threat as possible, and in Doubles that means away from everything. It's terrible.
Hush, don't give them any ideas.
He also gave us gems such as Chateau and Affinity.
That man's playtime is certainly atypical.
Whoever decided it was a good idea to put these in MM and keep them there is at fault as he is. Enclosed and Synapse are two other awful maps. Reminds me of Smashed being in Halo 3's Ranked TS.
Along with A 3 Legged Goat, Jonzorz124 and Sven Nietzsche.
the MLG 360 one right?
Yup
Tell me how it is, still thinking about getting one.
>Has a site called ReachingPerfection.com
>Makes bad maps
Edit: Has anyone been getting errors on GAF? It's been acting weird all day.
Awkward
edit:
I submitted Affinity. Liked the map the first I saw it. He did a pretty solid job of cutting it down for framerate stability from the original version's absurd budget. I made up a special test variant for Forge maps that sets everyone on fire just based off that map, to push the engine as hard as I can in single screen to help identify framerate issues. The test film for it was something like 8v8 with everyone on fire. It's actually still rendered and sitting on Bungie.net somewhere... I have to start backing all those renders up.
Yes sir!
I plan on giving a full and in depth review of the controller
Day 1
Week 1
Week 2
1 month
Maybe show the differences between the standard controller and it and how it effects or doesn't effect gameplay. Video and written form.
Still better than most forge maps.
Yeah the framerate is fine, but the map itself is not that good. It has many large unused areas, many long lines of sight (especially in the middle) and covenant shields shouldn't be on any map as they seem to be acting different on and off-host. Also, there seems to be a way to let people spawn underneath the Brace Tunnel pieces while looking at them. I don't know how but a team I played against was purposely doing just that. They were waiting around that area and killed us right off spawn a few times.
Yet it's one of the better Forge maps in matchmaking which is a bit sad.

Season 2 is probably my favourite upon re-watching. My orders are:
1st time viewing - S3, S1, S4, S2, S5
Subsequent run throughs in which you know what's going to happen - S2, S1, S4, S3, S5
Season 2 spoilers:
The final sequence in season 2 where Nicky stands at the fence considering everything that's been lost - his family, his livlihood, his freedom - whilst Steve Earle plays is an unparalleled moment in televison, film or any other medium you care to mention.
Favourite character is a toss up between Bill Rawls and Jay Landsman.
Re: Tonight's update
Hoping for a re-instatement of Squad Slayer but, most importantly, I really need to see Squad DLC changed to TU settings. I've bought all this DLC but can't play it unless I want to use a three shot pistol or the now unplayable 100% bloom.
There are numerous signs around Boardwalk urging you to 'Be safe'. Lol everytime I see it because it reminds me of that 'Please... be safe' meme.

Reminds me, we played with someone called Juan F Kennedy today, more effort into his gamertag than his assistance to us.
Ouch. The harshest stuff I do is caffeine and ibuprophen.

I am very happy that my vices are shit like watching nerds play MLG for 9 hours in a row, or spending absurd amounts of money on my car. Seen pills and booze ruin many lives.

I hope they make SWAT zero bloom. Anyone else agree?

Yup yup.
AR users am cry.
Go whine about it on HBO.
I'd be fine with making most playlists zero bloom. Especially SWAT.
You want it to be one way. But it's the other way.
I guess, "deserve ain't got nuthin to do with it"
Interesting. I am really keen for a re-watch in the next few months, I'll notice so much more. Although I'm disappointed I won't ever be able to see it for the first time again.
Wishful thinking for the bulletin:
New MLG settings to be applied
Squad Slayer's triumphant return
Team Slayer is killed, Super Slayer takes it's place, name is changed to Team Slayer
Team Objective pared back to 4v4
Swat gets 85% bloom
Squad DLC gets TU settings
Firefight's long-awaited update
And one that I'd really like to see, but I also know it won't happen, at least for a while:
Big Team Battle requires all DLC, and Anniversary BTB dies.
If only, if only...
edit: I'm pretty sure the above changes would remove vanilla settings entirely, but just to be safe, my perfect update would also burn all traces of vanilla Reach forever.

Played a bit of SWAT last night actually. Good times. Love losing and going positive 17.
Also noticed something else. Stockpile and 3 Plots come up WAY too much in SWAT. Why are those even in SWAT!? Who is in charge of this bullshit. Magnums come up way too much too ughh. Had to bear one or two games of that crap when all I wanted to do was use my DMR to crap on kids who aren't as good as me.

Nope. They would still be vanilla in Invasion. To add to my wishlist:
*Community invasion variants.
We'll just get more Headlong Heavies (which looks horrible based on the walk-through) and more Slayer on maps like High Noon.
BTB is just too slayer oriented right now, really disheartening. Heavies needs to die, and it needs to go back to CTF/Assault, but it isn't going to happen.
I've stopped visiting that site.
Visit the homepage at least. Louis does a awesome job with getting popular Halo content on there, just sucks that some people with negative mindsets post there.
That reminds me, I still need to make an invasion map. I wanted to do one that had players moving from the beach (this is on forge world btw) then through the tunnel then ending up in the wide open area. Give it a sort of a rush vibe from Battlefield, where some of the maps have you moving through different environments (the only thing I liked about Metro).
Also on my to-do list: Learn how to make maps that don't suck
I agree, I miss the old days where BTB meant awesome objective matches, not mindless DMRing from across the map. And even though I can't stand High Noon, it's leagues ahead of nearly every forge map in BTB.
Don't have any good quality pics only shitty ones. this is my exact car except I have gold wheels.

I'll be on that very same dyno again next weekend getting re-tuned with my new turbo and tmic.
dat car chat.
juices you around to crap on kids in Arena at a respectable time?
The RSS feed on news is so helpful. I just need to start using my productivity applications that use them more often.
Wow did I read that wrong the first time. :lol
HBO is no better or worse a community than GAF--every group has their more strident or prickly elements. No reason to bear grudges.
Starting up on Forge myself, so if you learn the secret, let me know. Custom scenarios like Sangheili Don't Surf would be awesome in matchmaking, and make team nights like HBO runs a lot more fun.

12. 3 hours. Stay up. You already have 3 days? Thats annoying cause you get your onyx rank then i need one more day and we lose two games to onyx kids cause you can't carry and I end with gold. Fuck Lol every season!.
Hearing and reading that some people on HBO wanted Halo to fail at MLG last weekend changed my mindset of some people on that site with their forum.
