Halo |OT10| The Calm Before The Storm

Both. Dual SMGs.

They had better return in Halo 5.

I was thinking about this the other day about how duals could finally work since it seems 343 is taking the "make everything powerful" route, but then I thought about the SAW. In order for dual wielding to be worth using, it has to be extremely powerful like the SAW, but once I looked at the sandbox as a whole and saw we already have a stronger starting automatics lineup on top of an even stronger Ordnance automatic (the SAW), I came to the realization that dual wielding would be useless at this point.

Maybe they'll make a powerup in Halo 5 that you can diel wield your primary/secondary weapons for a short period of time like the Gunzerker :b


Also, let me know the next time you're on MM so I can get dem mapz <3

I got you covered bro. I applied as soon as that position opened.

Ha, I'm applied for Sustain Associate Producer, but Community Coordinator is much more my thing. I've basically done that kind of job as a second job for a year and a half now for THQ. :p

Something will come along someday hopefully.

I go to Northeastern, on campus on St Stephens

I was thinking of maybe living on JP off campus next year.

Lots of Northeastern folks around these parts. My gf is a an alum from there. She's the only one I've met that plays halo. We'll, now there's you as well.

If duals ever came back, I'd rather see them streamlined.

No separate button to initiate a dual wield, and you can only dual two of the same weapon.

So like it is now in Reach/4, except if you're holding a SMG, and walk over another SMG, it just says "Hold RB to pick up another SMG".

If weapons can only be held with the same weapons, then it'd simplify the balancing trainwreck immensely.

I'm in that weird spot where I'm not against dual wielding but not calling for it's return either. It was very much an afterthought in Halo 3, and I hardly ever used it there.

You want to get hired at 343? I had no idea.

Oh welcome back, I wondered why it seemed so nice around here lately. /salt

Fine, if it's that big of deal that I've mentioned positions at 343 (when said positions were being discussed, and relevant to the thread), I'll stop. Didn't realize it annoyed people, because, you know, I've said something all of about four times when jobs were mentioned over the course of a year.
 
I just ordered a copy of the Reach Legendary Edition Guide for the art section at the end. I hope I get a decent cover. If I end up with Kat I'll be livid.

Why do you hate Kat so much? You've mentioned her like three days in a row now. :lol

Wonder what media outlets went.
I just hope they get a fair impression of the multiplayer experience.

New map video from IGN tomorrow correct? Excited. I get a much better sense of the map flow with a free cam view of the map opposed to just a first person walk through or even gameplay.

Also, are we expecting some Forge news soon as well?

To quote the illustrious Flava Flav... YEAAA BOYYY.

I just do; she was my least favorite character in Reach, she died in a really lame way, she can't say colonel, etc. I'm just not a fan of her, at all.

If I had to rank the characters in Reach from best to worst:
6
Jun
Emile
Carter
Jorge
Halsey
Auntie Dot
OONSK
Colonel Holland
That Militia guy with the stollen guns
The Zealot
Grunt 312
The Forklift

I'm sure people would be attracted to some new forge news; it'd really be magnetic to some. Not to polarize the audience, but that's just the plus and minus of it all.
You stop it. Stop it right now. It is not ok to joke about this anymore. This is serious. I am serious.

This is serious.

Haha. They killed Kat right as they started peeling back the hacker Russian girl pastiche they built--not thirty seconds after her first real meaningful exchange with Six.

I think that we could have lost either Emile or Jun and strengthened the remaining characters. My gut says Emile, since he was useless in gameplay and rather one-dimensional (that was kind of the point--keeping his game face on as it were.)


As a 5'8 hobbit I envy you tall tree people.

Psh, you're not that short. 5'10" is good enough for me anyhow. If a chick only dates people 6' and over and she's not a basketball player I'm not interested in her either :p

Haha, fair enough. I liked her at first, but eventually downgraded that down to mere indifference. I'd rate Noble Team Jorge > Jun > Kat > Carter > Emile. Jorge is by far the best, though.

An Ent if we go by the Cyren system.
:lol I'm like a quarter inch short of six feet. So I just call myself six feet.

I want to take Kat off of my LE statue and replace her with a 6 action figure. I might have a Batman figure from when I was a kid.
