Who gives a shit about kill cams?

Instead of staring at your body for 5 seconds waiting for respawn you can a) watch your death again and learn from your mistakes or b)skip the kill cam and respawn immediately*

Really, I'm glad to have them... Do something more useful and bitch about CTF auto pickup and restricted carry

* does not apply to team skirmish

Good point.

People are talking about watching your body and telling your teammates where the enemy is (I'm one of those people as well that still wants to be able to do that), but whats the point of that if you can just auto-respawn and already be playing again?

Played about 42 games of Reach last night until we all pretty much collapsed. Won 35 of them!

Does anyone know why Bungie thought that everyone on the map needed to hear the Plasma Cannon firing?

Jeez - the hype is really getting to me now, maaaaaaaaaaan.

Aside from how great the quality of this video is, I can finally get a good look at the monitor/TV they're using, that Samsung looks gorgeous. Especially with the minimal framing around the screen.

I like the tiny bezel as well.

Do Dominion bases have to be in literal fortified structures along with "locking" in its team, or can dominion hills/dom doors be placed anywhere?

Wow.
Getting shit on by Gaffers last night in customs had its benefits.
I just went +18 and +19 in consecutive games.
I don't think I've ever done that before. Ever.

Surely, there would have been a LOT more contenders if once again, Bungie hinted at the fact that it would have happened.

Bungie had a contest shortly after Reach came out for community map makers to get their maps into matchmaking. They asked for maps for every gametype including Invasion. They didn't get any Invasion maps they thought were good enough.

The same thing happened to me when I started playing with GAF.

It's a well documented fact that HaloGAF has a Saiyan heritage.

I always keep a few spare rockets in my invisible back pocket for when people least expect it, just in case. :lol

"Where the fuck is he getting Rockets from? I thought weapons didn't spawn on this map?"

"Oh hey, purple rocket guy out of nowhere"

"What the fuck, he's got rockets again?!"

They spawn bottom mid, noobs

So kill cams pretty much confirmed for all game modes then? I used to be mad about it but thinking about it I don't really care. Just wondering; will there be any way to turn it off in custom settings? In something like MLG where I'm calling out a lot I would definitely prefer my death screen.

I took Stinkles post about piracy a few pages back as a hint about these soundtrack postings, maybe I'm wrong?

Jeez Ubisoft is just as bad ad 343 in terms of showing content of the map maker in Far Cry 3 and Forge in Halo 4 for 343. Grrrr

We do at least know that there won't be a "Forge World", right?
Click to expand...

More like 3 Forge towns. I'm ok with that. Forge World is cool and all, but it's just too much on the Xbox - and it get's bland with only one aesthetic after a while. The new Forerunner look, as well as the lighting system will hopefully change that for the better.

Man, I've looked up the stats. HaloGaf is composed of a lot of very good Halo players. Just because you may be better than most of them doesn't mean they're bad, just that you are very, very good.
Click to expand...

Don't look at the stats. Reach matchmaking is janky as fuck. That's why win percentages are so high.

The one Moa posted has more stuff, including a better quality posting of Nemesis.

Are people supposed to be uploading these though? Didnt 343 stop people getting copies shipped to avoid spoilers? - I know Frankie has mentioned copyrights a page or so ago :/
Click to expand...

Frankie even pointed out that these tracks are considered piracy.

Yet someone else pops in and reposts the entire thing. Have to say, publicly pirating material right under the franchise director's nose is pretty fucking bold, even for Neogaf.

Repost for sir Bob on the 4sk vs 5sk discussion. :)

GodlyPerfection said:
I never said I preferred it or not, just offering a possible explanation. There are reasons to go either way.

According to the times when it is a 4sk there is little reason to add a third player into the equation (just extra room for error). It actually promotes less team work because the third player adds nothing to the equation in terms of kill times. And four players teamshotting a single person is too rare. Under the 5sk system you get an improvement of kill time of 2 seconds by adding a second player, and an improvement of kill time by 1 more second by adding a third player. Under the 4sk system you get an improvement of kill time of 2.5 seconds by adding a second player, and NO improvement of kill time by adding a third player.

I think most people can agree that adding additional players to a teamshot should be rewarded with faster kill times, but under the 4sk system a team does not get rewarded with faster kill time by adding a third player to the teamshot. A 5sk system actually works better for games in which focused teamshotting should be rewarded which is something I believe MLG is going for. In a 2v2 or a team game in which pairs are more appreciated than a full team effort a 4sk would be better.

So the real question comes down to this, are we in favor of people working in pairs more often than not (4sk), or the whole team working together more often than not (5sk)?

It's a shame posting spoilers unmarked isn't a crime, but it is pretty fucking bold.

As someone who is completely against instant respawns, I welcome kill-cams because they'll serve as a much needed distraction for the many that would just mash ‘X’ to back into the game and die more.

1. provides some good Regen gameplay, so we should CSI that shit

2. it shows when you try to get someone elses ordnance there is a little meter lasting about 3 seconds to pick it up

in this game, at the linked time

1. another good opportunity to analyze Regen

it looks like it regens your health almost instantly if you don't take damage.

so you better hope to land all your shots

That promethean pistol, looked like someone held it in and it charged less then a plasma pistol timewise, then he hit a dude and it killed them.

Is that how it works? or was the other guy already weak...

Not really. All the spoilers I've posted thus far have come from official sources - like Vidocs and Amazon.com.

And conflating that with piracy and theft? Wise up.

Don't act like you have any moral high ground when you spouted that shit so much people asked you to make a thread for it.
