So last night, the last game I played was AR starts on Asylum. We won 50-48, no thanks to our random and his guest who went something like -2 a piece. Thanks, Reach player base.

Edit: Oh, top of the page. So yeah, Reach. Bad kIds. Nothing new.

 

[Tashi]

yea permed so what was the post he was banned for....

I believe it was his body of work...

Anyway, I can't to see how matchmaking will work. Playlists, host selection, lobby system and the veto/map choosing system. Such major details!

 

[Rickenslacker]

So no avatar for zoojoo = forever banned I'm guessing?

Misconception, avatar being removed does not mean perm.

SCII has convinced me of the ills of a custom game browser. Doesn't matter that there's a million players online, if you want to play any of the games after the first page in popularity, good luck getting a full house. The current system is loads and away at least more consistent than the crud we'd have to worry about otherwise. Bungie did the right thing by going with playlists.

TF2 specifically has convinced me otherwise, as it's a game with matchmaking and server browsing as well. Being matchmaking only was one of my biggest disappointments with Bungie's implementation of online, but console online play is a bit of a messy situation in the first place.

All of his posts lol.

Negative 2 is nothing.

-2 is not that bad at all. I regularly get team mates in super slayer when searching alone that go -10 or more.

I like the skull head thing, seems like some sort of hologram device meant to display something that tries to prey on the fears of whatever enemy they're up against.

Late to this, but this is what I'm thinking too. Think about it: the skull is the exact same color as most of the other Halo 4 Hardlight tech we've seen so far. The Scattershot projectiles, for example.

 

[Beckx]

I dunno about you guys, but the "Believe" ads were the most chill inducing things for me. All dat hype.

Yeah, for me it's Believe, but then that always brings back how I played through the campaign the first time, each level thinking "okay, now it's going to be time for that epic battle, and the grenade, and..."

I like Deliver Hope a lot, too. For me the pacing, the angles, the music, it all really works.

Third would be the H3 introduction video from E3 2006, which really feels like the last time E3 really brought the hype. So, so much has changed since then.

You were not hyped after this?

 

[Karl2177]

Since Waypoint is working(maybe), I have this from last night.

 

[Beckx]

I don't even remember it - which isn't surprising, gameplay vids tend to fade in my memory after I play the game.

You mis-understand: their scores were -2, as in suicided more than they killed.

I'm away from my computer right now, maybe YourExWife can post the game link.

 

[Conor 419]

When are you guys next playing J-Lo?

 

[Caja 117]

Ouch, that's bad, I hope Halo 4 comes with some sort of Suicide booting system, some people just kill themselves to annoy others.

 

[The Real Napsta]

Still the best avatar ever.

 

[Hypertrooper]

Gameplay trailers are the stuff which are hyping me for a game. I want to see the game, I want to see how awesome it looks. Live Action and CGI are pretty but they are not remarkable imo.

 

[Conor 419]

Also, can someone give me a summary on who 'a Zoojoo' is, why he got banned and whether this is a good or bad thing?

Still the best avatar ever.

Yeah my avatar gets a lot of attention. It's a pic of me, so thanks I guess?

 

[Blueblur1]

sltPoison, check your PMs

 

[789shadow]

RIP zoojoo, may you go softly into the long blah blah blah blah blah.

 

[Steelyuhas]

I agree with this but I think our wanting it out is selfish. There are a lot of people who play that shit on a regular basis. These gametypes were always popular especially Zombies in Halo 2. But yea if I had a choice that shit would never be in matchmaking.

Anyone else feel like Halo 4 won't have many playlists at launch? I'm not sure I see a SWAT or Snipers playlist being available right away. I do imagine those gametypes will exist in whatever Team Training/Social slayer list there will be. I would love like 7 or less playlists off the start.

Infinity Slayer
Objective
Classic Slayer
Doubles
FFA
BTB
And maybe a Team Hardcore. But then again, you can add Hardcore gametypes into those slayer lists.

I'm not basing this off of anything really. Just my gut and what I want lol

That would be nice above, with my edit, but I think it won't happen. I think we live in a Halo world were we are guaranteed SWAT and Snipers will be there own playlists from day one, and we already know that there will be some sort of a "classic"/limited perks/limited loadouts playlist.

 

[789shadow]

Anyone else having a problem with subscriptions? Mine remove themselves from my list for no good reason, and now I can't get this thread to re-subscribe.

Oh that's actually you? Man you're a douche! lolz jk

Let's move on from ZooJoo please. Just PM someone or some shit.

Now I have to attempt to say some related to Halo and important to the discussions. Ok I got it!

What do you guys think is a good auto boot system for betraying and/or suicides? Should it be auto or left up to the players in the match.

Yuhas, did we get Snipers and SWAT off the bat with Reach? I can't even remember.

 

[CyReN]

I think every time a person is booted in Halo 4 it loads up Halo Reach for that said player. I would never betray anyone, ever.

78 days.

Auto isn't a good idea because not all betrayals or suicides are intentional.

I'm not that bothered, I'd like to know when you guys are next playing Reach though.

Your face looks strikingly familiar, but I can't place it at all.

You can't smell an internet forum, FOOL.

Spoiler

Smells like roses.

I hear that a lot.

It's great. The fact that he wasn't going for some sort of parody of douchiest avatar on the internet intentionally makes it even better.


And he kinda looks like a shaved Steve (ncsuDuncan's evil twin brother)

 

[m23]

5 more days until I finally get to play Halo 4, its gonna be a looooong week.

(Please be newer build than E3)

 

[Steelyuhas]

Yuhas, did we get Snipers and SWAT off the bat with Reach? I can't even remember.

No we didn't, but I think it became the top MM priority in about 2 hours after the game came out. Turns out, there is a significant number of people that really did not want to play SWAT and Snipers in the regular TS.

 

[kylej]

edit. ok nobody's around now. I might be on later, not sure

 

[Tashi]

Auto isn't a good idea because not all betrayals or suicides are intentional.

So how about 2 betrayals or 2 suicides and each member of the team is prompted. To boot or to put on probation. Probation and each betrayal or suicide after your teammates are prompted again.

Thanks!

I'm not that bothered, I'd like to know when you guys are next playing Reach though.

I'll probably on tonight if MLG is something you are good at like to play

 

[Beckx]

Sorry - before the game comes out those hype me too (and are what I most want to see pre-release), it's just that I tend to forget them afterward.

Sure, how many hours from now? We're different time zones I'm guessing.

You'll have to bear with me on Reach as well, definitely weaker at it than 3.

lol
you never did it on accident, I was on a roll one day... 3 games in a row lol.
I wish it was always 2 betrays a game. so if you betray one person you have to either betray him again or any other player once more. then they have to say so to boot or not.
Also have the damage thing in reach that basically just stops people from shooting them alll game..... still though 343 has its work out for them. never like the system in any halo definitely reach.... so they really need to improve it

 

[JHall]

edit. ok nobody's around now. I might be on later, not sure

I'll play if one of my 48 trails works, since my account got hacked.

Edit: Never mind, the code doesn't work.

[Abdozer]

Friend of mine quits almost every game, I can't stand playing with him because he quits out the moment he gets a bloodshot or a hint of a lag-strafe.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Here's your problem.

Hah, that got a smile out of me.

Yeah, I saw your empty post. Don't know how you pulled that off.

Also during our Firefight escapades tonight, I saw as a voting option we vetoed away:

Arcadefight on Installation 04
FF Limited on Installation 04
Rocketfight on Unearthed

I don't believe I've ever seen two different maps on a Firefight voting screen before.

Likewise, I did a huge double take. Fun games last night this morning, we need to do this more. It's the only way the playlist is bearable. Connections were pretty decent, even though I never pulled host.

BTW, I'm pretty sure a zoojoo requested to be banned. This was his last post:

Look guys, what i'm trying to say, is that i don't want the community to divide, and i'm willing to take whatever steam you people need to blow off for the good of the community. I love all you guys, even kylej, over, and fu. I've noticed this community has been growing unrestless and salty, and if it did ever divide itself it would make alot of people upset, and i know this is going to sound silly, but GAF means something to people. Its bigger than any of us and this is my example. <3 you all

[neoism]

really hope the put a penalty in 4 for quitting..... even more signficant then halo 3.... only got like 300 quits in 3 with like 4100games... some where lags outs though.

 

[indubitably]

The problem with giving people a free betrayal no matter what is that they will kill you without hesitation if you pick up a power weapon that they want.
I would like some kind of playlist probation system, where if you have a certain betrayal/playtime people you betray are prompted. Also, it would be nice if there was some way that made it easy for the betrayee to know if the betrayal was intentional or not, maybe a kill cam of sorts.

It would also be nice if they would inform the casuals that betrayal booting is for players that are doing it on purpose, or being careless. If I ever accidentally betray someone on Reach I just set my controller down it has become that much of a guarantee.

If so, that is dumb. Is he trying to be a hero of sorts? Was that the only solution for him since he couldn't refrain from posting all the time? If so, then yes it'll help out. Still dumb though.

Wow didn't realize PAX was so near. Hope we get some good stuff out of it. Forge? Any new unannounced modes? More multiplayer? Maybe another map or 2?

PAX is the last big thing before launch right? So any remaining "big" features would most likely be announced there or they'd be standard announcements via Waypoint or other sites?

reach sort of knows if it is an accident but most of the time it doesn't... they should though if 4 is more in the know tell the betrayee that it wasn't intentional on your team mates part. The main problem though is most people will instantly press x when the prompt comes up....
I've been screwed big time before though... anyone ever got BT 3 times... then you BT back once and get booted... wtf is that about... feels bad man.
