Halo |OT15| Beta-tested, GAF approved

We asked if the damage and radius of the 'blast' could be greatly increased to cull the entire field when a goal was scored. This would eliminate the need for rounds in the 'Pro' game type and make the difference between the two variants Auto Pickup.

They looked into it, came back and told us that fixing it for Grifball in a TU would carry over into other variants since the effect would be tied to the Hill Marker objective and not the grif_goal label. It would kill everyone when Hills in KotH switched positions as well.

I would love to see a "King of the Hot Potato" variant. :lol

http://www.fffin.com/blogit/moonalo...f-course-egg-make-someone-certain-your-health Hi. this is kind of an -unconventional- question , but have other visitors asked you how get the menu bar to look like you've got it? I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the search engines punishing me. I am very new to all of this ...so i am just not positive exactly how to try to to it all yet. I'll just keep working on it one day at a time.

The map requires you to actually consider your path to the next location (talking KOTH again). Every location on the map has multiple attack angles AND defensive angles. There are multiple hills that can be held from more than one verticle level. It brings back one of my favorite features of KOTH that has been missing from H4 until now: intense battles and sneaky hill contesting as a strategy to stop the other team from scoring.

As far as the map goes, just try to always be aware of the different ways you can expose yourself. There will be a bit of cat-and-mouse to some of the battles and the open (cliff) side strucure can be a potent power position in certain situations, but don't get frustrated just because you didn't/can't kill the person right away. By keeping them hurt, your helping to keep them out of the battle (at least to some extent) and that is big on this map.
Thanks. My battlefield skills are at an all time low, so anything helps.

That will fall off real soon. I dont' get to post from work usually.

How do you check that?
Click 'replies' next to the thread title, another window will pop up with everyone who's posted.
 
True, I just commissioned an artist to paint Cortana directly on my floor.

Now you can teabag her and do squats at the same time!

Would it be possible to make a mod that causes the Incineration Cannon's secondary explosions give off tertiary explosions of their own and so on and so forth?
 
Guys help, I'm OCD. Right now I have the loadouts structured as such:

BR / Carbine / Light Rifle
ODST SMG / CE Plasma Rifle / Oscillator
Grenades

Thing is, I want to somehow add the Pistol in there too but I don't feel like adding a completely new category for it. That, and I thought it was bizarre that the UNSC was the only faction with two precision weapons in 4. Any suggestions?

Wait, so is this the easter egg or a mod?

Mod. Most pictures I post are of mods unless I tell otherwise.

Their is no explaining of mods. There is a pelican loaded on midnight, for what reason, who knows, but now you know there is one.

I dont understand why a few people are actually getting butthurt when they see interesting things in Halo, just because I don't have an explanation for it.

What happened to Midnight's easter egg, are you gonna reveal it soon?

I wont be revealing it. Someone else is going to have to find it.

PAX East Halo-related panels:
Halo 4 Multiplayer: Past, Present, and Future
Halo 4 delivered a unique set of multiplayer experiences, immersing players in an episodic campaign with Spartan Ops, while delivering more breadth and depth in the expanded War Games sandbox. You’ve played the Majestic Map Pack and may even have had a chance to play Castle Map Pack on the floor here at PAX. Come prepared to hear 343 Industries’ Frank O’Connor, Kevin Franklin, Dan Ayoub and David Ellis, as well as Certain Affinity’s Tom Potter discuss where we’ve been, where we are, and what is on the horizon for Halo 4 Multiplayer.

PANELISTS:
Frank O’Connor [343 Industries], Kevin Franklin [343 Industries], Dan Ayoub [343 Industries], David Ellis [343 Industries], Tom Potter [Certain Affinity]

http://east.paxsite.com/schedule/panel/halo-4-multiplayer-past-present-and-future

It seems like the final map pack of the War Games Pass will be playable at PAX East.

It's hard to see this as anything but "We don't want to fix things."

You need to find or develop a Borderlands 2 Team Deathmatch mod. Then you'd have a proper engine for screwing with the weapon sandbox. That would be sweet. Also would make your sandbox posts a little less fanfic-ey.

Could also be seen as, "We don't know how to fix things" or, "we painted ourselves into a corner"
343 need to start acting a little more professional. They're making themselves look like consultants that contracted CA to make Halo 4 and then took credit for it.

Feeling pretty down chums. Thinking about the real world where you gotta think about consequences and take responsibility and shit, I want to be a teenager forever :(

I know what you mean. I've been taxing my citizens in SimCity 20% and the unhappiness has built up higher than my debt.

If you are going to Pax and they do a Q/A, please beat out the person who will ask why Frankie doesn't talk to him at bars.

I would have liked to have been able to go to this. Anyone going?

If there's a Q&A I hope HaloGAF folks ask tough questions. There's a lot we need to know. What's the goal for MM going forward? Are we going to see static weapon spawns on old maps to coincide with the changes made to the Majestic maps? Is there going to be a balance update? Can we expect classic game types like 1 Flag, Neutral Flag, Assault, Juggernaut, etc. to return for Halo 4 or is that not feasible? Can we expect more DLC after the Castle Map Pack? Will the Halo 3 and Reach playlists be updated?

Theae are important questions that need to be answered if they're to win back their core fan base. Unfortunately, we're probably going to see a lot of teenagers asking questions that are answered by a quick Google search.

Actually, Frank had to bow out of the panel, but it was too late to edit the description. I'll be happy to take any and all non-uggos to the bar. :)

Plenty of that stuff will be covered within the panel itself.

I actually just finished whittling down a final sandbox. 20 final weapons, 24 including grenades. I'm not afraid to make some drastic changes - the Needler and Shotgun are actually gone, for example. Actual, organized information should be coming soon.

Mind elaborating about the fanfic thing, though?

It's too bad life doesn't have a custom game browser.
