Ive made maps in forge, so I should be ok. Frankie you can pay me in ms points.
Allards are being phased out, so unfortunately he would have to pay you in real money.

Yes, Hyper. I really do think it is that easy. Obviously.
I certainly don't remember that, but my mind jumps back to Reach's vehicles and bringing in Jamie Griesemer. If you say there's nothing wrong, I'll take your word for it, but I don't think there's anyway you can ask for help without avoiding the implication that you guys are having a bit of trouble. There's nothing wrong with that in the sense that this is 343's first game and there are bound to be bumps along the road. Perfectly understandable.

I've complained about Halo enough over the years. That qualifies me for this H4 contract work right?
Lead game designer of Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2 David Goldfarb chimes in:
:lol
They DO move in herds...

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
Continuing to staff up junior positions is a pretty common occurrence as you head towards the end of production in game development. I wouldn't read anything extra into that post.

Halo 4 haphazardly made by stuffed juniors.
You gotta tweet it or it doesn't count.
I'd say "gotta love us" but it's pretty GOD DAMN CLEAR I'm not part of HaloGAF!HaloGAF, you are tiring.

HaloGAF, you are tiring.
Like you have anything else to do.
Btw, we haven't played Halo with you in a while.
It'll be a good GIF to post for when EazyB's latest alt account gets banned.

Oh really? That sucks I refuse to put my credit card details onto my xbox so I guess no more map packs and stuff for me then. :/

Oh, that's it? Right. That would've been a better way to put it. As I said, reading the tweet for what it was, I immediately that of Reach's end cycle and having to bring Griesemer in.
You can still buy Cards that are based on real currency, it works fine on PSN (SEN?). Just purchase a $20.00 card instead of a 1600 point card. No different than buying a gift card at a store.

I think it's just the naming scheme changing. You'll just be buying $20 cards instead of 1600 ones.
As long as the industry refuses to move past the crunch cycle style of development and the "must have shipped a game before you can be hired", a bunch of junior contractors and so on will always be slathered onto a game in it's home stretch, and pulling people of other projects the studio is working on. It gets your name on a shipped game (most of the time, when office politics doesn't result in your name being removed even if you worked on the game for 3 years) so you can get your foot in the door.
I made and shipped an entire 30 hour RPG with one other guy, if I could have somehow brought on a bunch of people at the end to finish it off we would have had it done a year before it ended up being released (but we couldn't, since we were making the game in our spare time with hundreds of dollars). It's still very true that a game just kind of starts assembling itself together in the last home stretch like magic.

Should've been a poll to rank the Halo games.

I was so close to posting this in Tashi's thread:
I really didnt want to encourage Gaf to follow suit though, im actually surprised no one has said that yet.

Scott be straight playing with our feelings

Edit:

I've made a Huge Mistake.
IIRC, past Halo titles have gone content complete around June/July to meet their ship dates. So they're likely entering the final six month or so crunch phase to get everything in. Normal stuff is normal.
The exciting thing is, Halo 4 is almost done. So close to peek behind the curtain now...

Do they take minutes even after its started to render by someone else?

Development hells with resets with one year to go till ship got us the glorious Halo CE (sp/mp) and Halo 2 (mp), so I'm all for it.. lol
Assassinations (I like the 'feel' of them, and it's kind of a nice 'fuck you, you suck so bad you didn't even see me coming' moment).
Spartan Customization (would like to see it improved)
Sprint (well, kinda, I still like my idea better)
Hologram (I'm still surprised how many people fall for it)
Keep making Forge better.

Otherwise, Reach didn't bring much to the table that I liked, definitely the weakest of the series thus far. Sorry Bungie =(
On that last note, to jump into the AR conversation from yesterday; I was thinking it might be interesting to make the AR a pickup-only weapon (the defaults would be the Silenced-SMG and Pistol, of course) and beef it up slightly by giving it an underslung launcher that uses the player's grenades as ammo. It would effectively turn your "Throw Grenade" button into "Propipe Jr."
My two cents; hit the ground under them to pop them up, then a nasty side swing. Ragdoll goes flying like 50 feet to the left.

Nice. I'd sweep the legs, overhead smash on the cranium, light a cigarette like a boss.

Bungie hasn't released a game in over a year, so my guess is they need all the money they can get. No big deal, since that minute was going to go to waste anyways.
In before ennui-related discussion about the above sentence.

If Frankie was in our party, he wouldn't have a crotch problem, and only the people who are usually in my party will know what I'm going on about.

This often gets attributed to Sage (like all the shit in Reach) but I'm sure I remember it being Chris Carney who was adamant in his opposition to an increased ammo counter for the dmr and pistol. He said something like "I had to have my arm twisted to convince me to raise the clip from 12 to 15 (on the dmr) but the pistol was not being touched; It has to remain a sidearm at best".
Hornet could carry a flag and it was far from being the centre of btb games. The Falcon could really work if both sides still had the turrets (dampened versions) but you could also use them as flag seats. So the gunner and flag carrier would have to consider which seat to sit in strategically depending on which way they were flying back i.e the gunner should be facing the action.
Saying all that, I thought the Hornet functioned perfectly well. I remember some truly heroic moments holding the flag on the side, jumping out into the man cannon on Avalanche while the pilot engaged a hog..... I miss BTB.

That was Josh Hamrick if I recall correctly.
From Reach:
The DMR - I want it back. I don't hate the BR but I prefer one shot. I would like to see them keep the range and rate of fire too. I've never had the long rage problems with it like the other people on here.
Needle Rifle - Much better than the Carbine because of the super explosion thing.
Pro pipe - Okay weapon... No complaints.
Armor effects - Bring a little bit of extra fun to multiplayer in their own way. I would like to see them expand on this and offer many more types. If you're not going to give us cool/fun/goofy customizable helmets/armor then bring in the lighter fun with the armor effects.
Stockpile - I guess I'm one of the few people on GAF that enjoys this. I liked it mostly on Swordbase. It's awful on Highlands.
Weak vehicles - Armor/Defense-wise they're weak. That's good. They still deal too much damage though and both the guass hog/tank need to have their splash damage reduced along with the removal of the fuel rod from the Banshee.
Map rules - I like how they didn't close people from several playlists this time around for not having the maps like they did with H3. It didn't effect me because I got the most of the maps free except for Anniversary which I got myself, but if I didn't benefit from getting free maps as a GAF member and was blocked from most playlists again I would have been pissed. The way they handled it this time around was appropiate if they're going to stick with matchmaking and not include a sever browser.
Can't really think of anything else that I liked from this game...

People actually like the assassination animations? No one really gets mad over them, except for the person who does them by mistake.

Was running some TS and Starwolf joined me, and all of the sudden DLC starts showing up. So odd how DLC algorithm will work for some people and never work for others.

Was it worth playing with Starwolf?
Word bending is a art.HaloGAF, you are tiring.
Re: DMR talk, I like the DMR's range because I could not stand when I would get shot across map with the BR and I couldn't touch them. I wouldn't mind going back to the old range of the BR, but the range should effectively work the same for everyone.
i like yoinks and showstoppers

Can someone answer something for me? What was Jason Jones involvement with Halo following 2? I don't remember seeing him much in anything Halo 3 related and the games after that. Is there any connection to the lack of his involvement in the newer Halo games and the decline in quality? I still loved Halo 3, although it wasn't as good as 2, and I enjoyed ODST for what it was. Reach though as everyone knows has many issues. I just wonder how much he affected the development of the series.

I remember reading/seeing somewhere that he didn't work too hard on Halo 3, but played through the campaign and offered advice.
