Damage boost power up...3sk BR, unless dude already had low shields. Wu witnessed its glory.
That would certainly answer Nexy's "why wouldn't I just pick overshield everytime?" question.

EDIT FOR:
Sim City talk is my cue to frankie_exit.gif that Bombcast. Anyone interested in Reach?

Gonna have to watch the rest of that Giant Bomb stuff tomorrow, I'm shot. Great stuff so far though. Josh Holmes seems like a cool guy. Also, Greg Miller being there was weird. Would have like Arthur Gies or Hilary Goldstein or some shit. I love Greg but he's not a Halo guy.
 
So far very worth watching. They talk about Halo quite in depth, and they do also talk about other games that they saw, which is nice.

Yup, just started watching now. Loving this Hitman discussion. Gonna have to watch the rebroadcast later to catch the Halo stuff.

Forerunner Mech? I'm all for it... :) the concept of forerunner vehicles wrapping around my spartan blew my mind.

I needed to warm up for a project tonight anyways, so I thought I'd do a quick mockup for shits and giggles.

Did the Forerunner even have anuses? Quick, someone get on DeviantArt!
 
Yeah, I've given up. I'm like 32423948q4e923759432752435456tu34wf pages behind now.

and it's only been a couple days since I was caught up.

Drop out, go pro read thread.

Why is this damn Bombcast so interesting??? Cannot look away.
Edit:

Ellis: I've only heard of it [FarCry 3 breast fondling] via Twitter, so I've been visualizing it. It sounds like the greatest game ever.

So glad I kept watching.
 
I just discovered that David Cross (Tobias from Arrested Development) voices just about every marine in Halo 2, and is fucking hysterical. How did I not know this until now?!

Wu and I talked to Kevin Franklin (MP lead) and he said that personal ordinance drops are completely random for players, though drops are tailored for specific game types and maps.
Sweet. Thanks dude! Did you get to see many non-weapon options in those drops?

Edit: Thanks! How were things like speed boost, damage modifier, etc.. dropped? Are they pick ups like OS and invis?

So when you fill up your ordinance meter you get a onscreen notification that you have a drop. A d-pad selection comes up and if I recall correctly weapons is on the left, power up on the right and grenade was either up or down. Basically you choose out of those three options what you want, point to where you want it to drop and pick it up.

I never saw invisibility come up, so I can't comment on that.
No I mean how we're those power ups/modifiers actually presented as pick ups? i.e. what did those specific type of items look like? Were they orbs, or armor-like attachments, etc..?

Writing the second part of my impressions, this time being very descriptive about every piece of content I experimented with. I probably won't be able to post it until tomorrow since I'm seeing Prometheus at midnight with a couple friends.

This may end up being super long. What's the max character count for a post on GAF?
