That's the one where all the demos of the games that were announced at E3 are right?
About as random as an Infinity match.

Often yes, public access versions of E3 floor demos and the like. Though I do want to go to E3 again within the next two years. Now that shit is wild. And it might give me another chance to awkwardly mention GAF to Franklez after an interview without giving him the slightest clue as to who I am.

Not that I really expect much trueskill matching in Spartan Ops (connection would seem paramount), but this just goes to show that if you want something done right sometimes you've got to do it yourself.
CC can't stream, cut it now.
I'm not considered one either, bro, I know those feels.
But at least you've seen me shirtless.

I have always been a multi console owner, and I expect next gen to be no different.. but man is it going to be disappointing if the Orbis is vastly better than the Durango. I really wanted to see next gen Halo games shine, but if they live in the shadow of exclusives from the PS4...blah.
I really hope MS has more planned for the nextboxes power.
But Fyrewulf streams Rock Band all the time!!!!!1
Hmmm. What time? I may actually be around.
The consoles will be okay, I guess. A lot of improvements and more things for casuals for sure. Not a high end PC, but it will last for an other 10 years, probably. I hate hardware limitations, but it's the way it is, right know. I'm looking forward.
New consoles are due. It's time for a graphical overhaul and update to both systems. There has been a lot of talk here (from much wiser HaloGAF folk) about just what we will be expecting with a new console. I'm ready for it.
I also personally like that consoles last 5-7 years (10 is too long - sure the 360 can stick around just as the PS2 hung on forever). It gives developers/publishers a common platform to exploit and get better at using for a long amount of time. If they were attempting to create a new game every 2 years AND learn all new hardware then I think we would see a drop in quality.

It's an attempt to reconstruct the huge variety of sandbox options we've been given into a cohesive group of weapons, grenades, armor abilities, etc. in order to illustrate what Halo's combat could be like if it just took a few tweaks and applied them. Mostly for fun, but who knows - Left 4 Dead 2's Charger came almost word-for-word from a massive thread on their forums.
I'm trying to do that in a sense. Yeah, while I post teasers, I've also been trying to ask GAF a bunch of questions on what they'd want to see in this theoretical revision so that I don't drastically miss something that could have been easily avoided (see: Halo 4 DMR). It's a step-by-step process and I'm going to be posting mini-vidocs for each new weapon. Existing weapons that receive few changes will probably just get a "the sandbox so far" prologue video or something. The Gravity Gauntlet, for example, should have its demonstration video up sometime within the week. Once all of the weapons are done, it's just a matter of compiling it into a megapost for use on Forward Unto Dawn and so on.
I can't PC game to save my life. :lol
Turned on the stream. Sixty seconds into the first match I'm watching.
Three players quit.
Three new players join in progress.
Game black screens twice.
Score is 30 - 0.
Who thought Join in Progress was good for Halo?
Who though it would EVER be good for doubles?

I don't expect Durango to be leagues behind Orbis, but most signs do point to it being weaker. But honestly, that barely matters to me. It's the other stuff you mentioned that is turning my interest from Microsoft to Sony. And, well, the fact that my expectations for the future of Halo have plummeted. I'm now more interested in Sony's first party games, third party exclusives, and indie games.

If that's how you're playing no radar gametypes, you're doing it wrong.

When catering to a broad swath of the population doesn't make them money.
I can see the argument for "please the hardcore" on a game by game basis but Microsoft is out to sell boxes. They don't do that by focusing just on "pro" gaming uses.

Maybe it was the map (was a Solace variant... still felt too big IMO), but we were just playing cat and mouse the entire game. Final minute was them just hiding because they didn't want to lose.
Though admittedly I've never exactly been a fan of no radar modes. After so many years of using the radar, it feels wrong to have it disabled. Makes me feel like I'm playing a game like CoD... there's no real cohesion at all (at least with randoms. Parties are obviously different)

-Remove the spread
-Fix the FOV
-Slightly increase movement speed
-Dedicated Servers

It's not dumb, I'm respected now so my opinion counts! Halo 2 for everyone!
At that point they might as well just blend the first three games together. Get rid of dual wielding and buff up those weapons, choose how many grenades, etc.
Yeah, there are some people defending on the later pages. Which is questionable to a certain extent.

No, if the community had proper mod tools like we did for H1 PC we could do all of this ourselves.

I adamantly defended radar until playing a bunch of Reach MLG with HaloGAFers. I enjoy the cat and mouse gameplay. I love deceiving and evading enemies in ways that are impossible with radar. It can slow the game down sometimes, but not often, and it also creates a lot of of really tense, dynamic situations. Oh god, I'm using vague buzzwords.

Actually the casuals will buy anything with the name Halo on it. Then when they realize the game has some depth and isnt just garbage try and please everyone hot wet basura they will continue to play it.
Kind of like Halo CE, Halo 2, and Halo 3.

Interesting. Didn't see anything wrong within his PAX Halofest experience. To me he and HaloGAF company were really enjoying their time at that event. I honestly haven't seen these photos and only the HaloFest Q/As Panels video with 343 about CEA & Lore. Thanks for (at least) sharing his PAX impressions again.
These guys are really pushing what there is for Halo PC.
Would be amazing if Halo 3 got ported.

Halo 3 with mods would be great. Fact. It could be the perfect Halo game.
