This is a faulty assumption.

The balance that map specific loadouts could achieve is negated by the fact that customisable lousouts exist though.
Leave a post at THC Frankie, Halo competitive community left MLG site mostly
Thanks for the news sounds awesome.
So it's really happening? That shit is indeed cray.
I like a bigger UI when dealing with things like that. I dislike Reach's listless list rendition of Fileshare and Custom game options. In Halo 3, I liked perusing through players fileshares; the fileshare UI was actually welcoming. In Reach it's literally a list on top of a bland background.
Also, beat it
OT, but seeing the people in here were interested in getting GR FS beta codes... I came across this on the gaming side thread:
If anyone is interested, give it a go, worked for me.

The only thing I like about the CQB in H3 is the visor, everything else about that helmet needs to go.

one thing that has been bugging me about random weapon drops, and if someone can clarify, that would be appreciated.
For asymmetrical maps, having random weapons isnt that big of a deal, but for symmetrical maps, that can pose a problem. take the pit for instance. rockets spawn long hall and snipers spawn at each base. rockets spawning as something random isnt that big of a deal (as both teams should have equal access to it throughout the game). but what about at snipe spawn? would they always get dropped as the same weapon or is it possible for one team to get a sniper and the other team gets lets say a sword.

I enjoyed GRAW. The multiplayer especially is one of my better memories over XBL.

You're not gonna believe this, but I was 99% certain clicking on that image was gonna lead to Mystical.

No, it's pretty bad. (I always choose prefer good connection)

The worst part is when the lag gets severe enough to spirit you away into your own private Firefight universe. Its an incredibly eery and solipsist feeling when the reality of your situation finally dawns upon you.

That button literally has no code behind it.
It is.

I enable good connection and same language in Firefight Doubles and the lag is still unbearable 90% of the time. I dunno about campaign co-op's netcode, though.

Did any of you guys pick up Trials today? I need more people to put my times against.

I just hope Spartan Ops is free...
Edit: Me, ZalinKrow and heckfu all have it anyway. Wwmonkey has it aswell I believe.

Spartan Ops sounds amazing!

I rarely have a problem, and I play a bit of co-op. Maybe I have the worst connection so I pull host, but I can count the number of bad connection games on one hand.
If you buy it for me I'd happily add you to my friendslist to compete with you. Deal?
Get a job.

LB would be sprint/your second armor ability, just hit left on the d-pad to alternate between the two. Probably not the best scheme, but I'm a huge fan of Halo 3's controls, and if I lose all the other buttons, I want RB to be reload.
Also, I'm so confused by all the different HUDs. It does make me wonder if they're customizable. That'd be great.

Unless I have host, there is noticeable input lag pretty much all the time. Usually it's not that bad, but it is still there.
Aye, I see.
As for the HUDs, Frank said pretty clearly that they were different because of different builds of the game. I guess that doesn't rule out customizable HUDs, but you're not seeing customizable HUDs in these screenshots/videos, just the HUD changing over different builds of the game.
As for my personal opinion, I like the most recent build's HUD (grenades on the top left, AA's above the radar).

Haha, I'm good. Generous offer though.
I feel like we've seen so many different HUDs I can't imagine 343 changing them around that much. Customizable HUD would be great along with being to able to map your own controls.
Likewise. Since I play the sniper/DMR loadout, even a very small amount of input lag really throws the game off.
In Doubles I search for a good match and seem to pull host 90% of the time, though. Lucky me.
What league?
I kid, Halo doesn't look good at Anaheim after Sundance comments on Starcast.
Woof, my roommate bought it so I haven't been able to play. I'm still away on work for another week and a half.

Customizable HUD would be very cool, and I'm not saying that it isn't a possibility, but developers commonly try out a number of HUD variations in development, so I don't think that seeing several different ones so far means that customizable HUDs are in the game.
I did.
Unfortunately after I realized vhfive is probably an MLG Pro in Trials I gave up trying to beat him. Gotta say though, the hard mode tracks are a pain in the ass. No longer much fun either. Became less about huge jumps and more about small but difficult obstacles.

Didn't the making of video refer to the HUD as being like a body kit? Or did I just hear it wrong? (Quite possible).
Could still be nothing. But it could also be... something.
