It's now Thursday here. 24 hours for zoojoo to come out of hiding...but I almost prefer he doesn't, I have some neat things planned.

How do you know he has an alt. Can you prove he has one? Unlike starwolf, I doubt he's going to go insane and out himself.

Oh I edited it for a reason...I'm ruining my own element of surprise!

But maybe you know more than you're acting like!

Everything you just said isn't even whats wrong with the game. The game has major balancing and management issues, not whether or not a sound of a gun shooting sound funky for .5 of second every few matches.
Click to expand...
Actually, these are the things that are objectively wrong with the game. Balance and management are matters of opinion, but no one thinks that sometimes a boosting ghost should be silent as it approaches you. Today I had all of the things I listed adversely affect my experience on multiple occasions, actually affecting gameplay and the outcome of matches. Why are you trying to brush it away as superficial? It should be fixed, period.

Regicide is some bullshit. "Hey guys, let's design a gametype that rewards not playing your best until you can sucker punch the king at the last minute!"

Why wouldn't you play your best? Being the king is awesome. People come to you. You get an overshield. You get a damage boost. People that play the way you suggest aren't going to consistently win as much as people who vigorously hunt the King and then vigorously defend their crown.

I've been experimenting with Illustrator to try and get the hang of vectors before I do any big projects, so I mocked up a few helmet portraits for one of my prom knight dudeguys. Click to enhugen.

because it's much easier to just pace yourself right behind the king then kill him at the last minute. I got beat at the last minute by someone with six fewer kills than me. He didn't play better than me. I killed him every time but that last one.

The interview with Greg Bear makes me excited to read Silentium finally. It's coming out in two weeks... Happy to finish the best Halo book trilogy.

I am going to abuse Action Sack for getting Binary Rifle and Incinerator Cannon kills. I need that Believe stance...

Try to ask your local GameStop, today was the day most (i think all) of them stopped advertising it.

If I didn't have to carry it by hand for an hour I'd totally do that. The folks that run the Redmond GameStop are suuuuuper nice. Impossibly nice, even. I'm used to the dirtbag employees of SoFla.

I find it quite funny that they have taken a step backwards but the new bulletin design makes it VERY hard to read on at least iPhones - the page chugs slowly and the text content gets cut off.

Any chance someone can quote the bulletin text on here?

They release a title update with like 50 bug fixes, and people say it's pitiful. Then, David hints at additional upcoming sandbox tweaks, and people continue complaining. There's just no way to win with people here sometimes. If I was a developer, I'd say fuck y'all.

Hey, today Halo 4 is 4 months old. Today we still have glitches like sounds that only sometimes play, guns that only sometimes shoot, connection quality indicators that only sometimes appear, matches that only sometimes have opponents, and a game that is only sometimes fun when it isn't absolutely fucking shitting the bed. Piece of fucking trash.

Mad N00bs

Obviously those 50 bug fixes weren't enough for you

From Dr Dorado: When do we get some info regarding BTB Objective? My clan has been waiting since launch! Please! Some info!

We are currently brainstorming different ways of bringing a large party-friendly playlist option for objective-based game types into Halo 4 Matchmaking. It’s not coming immediately; however it is something we’re actively working on and looking forward to implementing when officially ready.
Click to expand...

What is their to brainstorm? You have the gametypes, you have the maps, now add them to playlist? Am I missing something or are they wildly over thinking this?

I think we should all avoid posting about Halo 4 while playing it, or having recently rage quit.

Yeah who am I kidding.

EDIT: They're probably thinking of a way to stop Objective Holding since BTB was prime ground for such things.

This is exactly what i thought, there is no thinking just get one with it. Even if it means one BTB playlist with a mix of slayer and objective, just give us the choice.

Action Sack ? Nice now put Infnity Slayer and Regicide in it.

The gametypes sound horrible, but I'm not the type who likes those stuff.

It will be now the go to playlist for k/d boosters and commendation boosters
