[Devolution]

F yeah a community thread.

 

[Franklinator]

Huzzah! The Halo 4 OT is cool and all but I know the people here better, so I prefer this thread.

 

[Tashi]

I'm ok with this title. Cheers Dax.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

I'm all in for Tashi's Jurassic Park call out. That's immediately what I thought when I saw that fence.

 

[Devolution]

Is uh Ellis around, I wanted to ask what typeface they're using for 4 like on the site headings.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

I love you all.

Except you Demon, for tea bagging me in that CTF game.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Reach > 4 (lol)

 

[Plywood]

how bout no

 

[The Librarian]

I'm ok with this title. Cheers Dax.

Explanation: I figured this would be the last Reach-era OT, so I felt a title to reflect a theme of "closure" was appropriate.

 

[Slightly Live]

HaloGAF Customs tomorrow!

 

[GhaleonEB]

You're not Tashi.

 

[Arnie]

Is uh Ellis around, I wanted to ask what typeface they're using for 4 like on the site headings.

I thought you were going to ask what typeface they were using in the game UI, because it isn't very nice.

HaloGAF Customs tomorrow!

Depending on work commitments I might pop in.

 

[Hypertrooper]

Wait. Dax opened a thread. Wait... Oh right Ghaleon is away, right? RIGHT?

 

[Karl2177]

The bottom image has a white background. I'm not amused.

Also juices is bad at Halo 4.

So yeah MP is a mixture of brilliance and stupid poorly thought out ideas. Strange how the experience varies so much.

Aye, and the brilliance is mostly Bungie's doing, the guff design is nearly all 343, I'm sorry to say.

 

[GhaleonEB]

What I've been doing is playing one, maybe two games of MP after my Campaign romps each night.

At some point this weekend I'm going to sit down and play one game in each playlist and see how it goes to sample the spectrum.


I did Dominion last night, and was not amused.

 

[SatansReverence]

Another OT? Lord...

CTF and King are surprisingly great.

Played a custom griffball game last night.

That thing is actually impressive and interesting. I can see it being greatly competitive.

The game needed a beta because the MP feels like one at the moment.

 

[Arnie]

The game needed a beta because the MP feels like one at the moment.

The exact comment one of my friends made, mostly because playlists cycle the same three maps over and over again. For people who don't have a great affinity for big team play, the map rotation got stale in hours.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Looking forward to hitting the credit cap 3 nights in a row later. Glad to see they fixed the 2XP token issue. Makes me feel better playing games while capped. Still wish we'd get our commendation/challenge payouts though.

 

[MrBig]

why does this thread exist

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Kyle what's up with this Siggy dude? He get paid for doing runs? 48 hours is nuts.

 

[Tashi]

I hope we get Relay into the map pool soon. Not because I'm not enjoying the maps in place now but because I think Relay is a very good map.

 

[CyReN]

Need to finish Spartan Ops.

 

[The P of Poland]

why does this thread exist

Because gaming side.

 

[MrBig]

Because gaming side.

Is it some sort of stigma against gaming side or has anyone from here actually been in the H4 OT? There has been a drive by troll or two, an overwhelming amount of positive posts, and then the rest of the discussion is exactly the same as in here. Having to check two threads for the same thing is dumb. Lots of reposts as people that are posting in both OTs just cross post any information they want to share. The H4 OT will be in the Community section before this thread runs its course.

 

[Overdoziz]

Last time I checked the Halo 4 OT people were defnding AR starts, Jetpack, Armor Lock and Bloom. I felt like 2010 all over again.

 

[Sai-kun]

I like this thread.

Eh. This thread will be done in a month anyway.

Why, yes?
I really, really don't like visiting Gaming Side. Especially about Halo. Scifi-ghetto, you know? Tends to apply other scifi games as well, like Mass Effect (might have something to do with RPG/Action RPG split... but whatever).

Ideally this thread should be limited to community discussion (events, art, whatever is related Halo communities, etc.), general Halo discussion (lore, older games, etc.), and people should keep Halo 4 discussion in Halo 4 OT.

 

[Canis lupus]

Man these threads are moving so fast!

 

[Barrow Roll]

why does this thread exist

Segregation.

This is still the best thing ever.

 

[The Librarian]

Man these threads are moving so fast!

It's not like you have time to pay attention to any of them, Mr. 58 PPD.

 

[Plywood]

It's increasingly obvious who is using Default and who isn't, you can tell by the people who can actively crouch and those who can't.

Really frustrating that they made B crouch for default.

 

[Stinkles]

Holy crap that thread went fast.

 

[thezerofire]

So is the Locus helmet really a preorder exclusive?

There's another Locus helmet you can unlock.

 

[Karl2177]

It's like a fucking zoo







joo.

 

[Gazzawa]

Awww shit Gazzawa69 reporting in!
Double xp is ruining Halo and the environment!

 

[thezerofire]

There's another Locus helmet you can unlock.

I thought so but I couldn't find anything official on it. And usually the preorder helmets have letters after them, like Hazop FRST but the Locus one just says Locus

 

[Plywood]

Holy crap that thread went fast.

Any chance of tweaked control schemes in a TU?

 

[Tashi]

I need people to play Spartan Ops with me. Episode one. Who wants to play with me?

Message me: TashiGAF

 

[Omni]

Yeah, it's odd that they'd put it on "B". I actually think that recon should've been default... Sprint on "X" works quite well, IMO, and you can still crouch normally.

 

[IHaveIce]

Holy crap that thread went fast.

True.

Damn and an OT by Dax :O

 

[MaximumFlipFlop]

Thanks Halo 4, I love grinding through your Campaign on Legendary only for it to say in my commendations I have not. Fucking incredible! Mark VI, you'll have to wait... forever.
