Uhm... thinking about getting a 1 year gold LIVE soon, just to get back to Reach and also be able to play online as soon as Halo 4 gets released.. I guess a bunch of you are still playing on a weekly/daily basis? I know I had some of you registered on my xbox account but when I went to check a couple days ago, I noticed my friend list had shrunk a lot :(

If the spawns on Tempest aren't going to be fixed, can it at least be removed from Objective?
Spawns in general skirmish/objective based maps will always be pretty bad. You could trap players in Midship all the time if your team was coordinated and just planned to play slayer or held the last flag cap or bomb plant (Halo Honor©), it can easily be done. Same with many others. Though some are just less offensive and problematic than others (look at Narrows, but that was god-awful in both slayer/objective so that's a lost cause). Map was too fuckin' tiny in the first place, and in the main areas of spawn were in direct shots of getting killed instantly or rather quickly.

I think I blame Forge for these issues in the later games - I don't think most of them have enough spawns on them, either.
 
Alright, I'm saying it again, ODST is Marty's best work, and my favourite soundtrack this generation, so far.

Hope Halo 4 can deliver in that department. I'm liking what I'm hearing so far.

Flick me a FR if you like (are you the one from Japan? I recognise your handle from while I was a lurker - I'm in NZ so timezones may be a bit nicer)

Get a room you two, you can have your kinky role plays there. HaloGaf is for clean Halo discussion only.


I hate how in Ghost Recon the different factions have different guns, you can be a level 10 rifleman overall but depending on the team your randomly assigned the guns are kind of different. Hopefully Halo 4 doesnt have some nonsense where red uses DMR and blue uses BR. It sounds too stupid to happen, but they do it in other games so I wouldnt even be suprised.

I wonder if my kids are going to brush off internet conversations much easier than I, but I still am kind of appalled by how bad they get. I usually just tell myself that our society isn't really any more stupid, it's just that the stupid people have a means of expression now...

...but it doesn't help that much :\

I will also be forever mystified about why prepubescent kids constantly use their mics on Live. When I was 12 I wasn't trying to point out how little and annoying I was, and I certainly wasn't unleashing profane rants on strangers after someone takes the sniper rifle.

You think he'd be safe from ID with those glasses, but the police caught his ass in MINUTES, apparently. Shouldn't had a fancy mustache, and Mario hat or something.

"It's a-me, dat nigga! Hoo hoo!"

Hahaha well done, ViewtifulJC, I lost it right there.

I thought Ryan was a cool guy.

Unfortunately, anonymity plus an audience equals fun for no one when it comes to online games. Or at least a lot of the time.

this

and since when is bitch gender exclusive? I think I hear men being called that more often actually

I only really hear it in the context of a guy venting about his SO (or their ex-SO), or interchangeably in the "that was a bitch/dick move" when someone's being a jerk. I think for the most part it's a matter of context.

Of course I was also brought up in one of the richer areas of the United States and the most well-educated, so there wasn't a lot of the same factors growing up, I guess. Hell, after Hispanics our next biggest minority population was Mongolians.

If you've never played Star Trek Elite Force, I'd recommend it as a fun shooter whether you like Trek or not. I assume that's what this new game is supposed to be channeling.

Fuck yeah ELITE FORCE

Brings back memories of getting worked by Germans over 56k. Or playing smart-mouth Klingon bots.

Also brings back memories of the complications of finding and keeping an online match with a friend. Xbox LIVE truly brought online gaming to the masses.

I think E3 will be mostly campaign actually.

That would follow the Bungie trend, but I wonder if 343i is going to keep it a bit closer to the chest?

I'd be fine with that. There's so much that needs to be hashed over on the multi side anyhow.

I learned myself the hard way to not expect 343 to continue Bungie's trends.

Probably a multiplayer demo in there somewhere since there's no beta, and people will want to see it.

I dunno. Is E3 even a big thing nowadays?

Looks like the site layout has changed? Interesting. Not sure I like the way it comes out on mobile.

Gonna take some getting used to.

I LOVE the new mobile app. Superb navigation, all the bigs are gone (no off topic community button, etc). Did Kohler help work on it?
