Team Doubles is great but the weapon spawn times need to be fixed. lol I had a sniper with 20 shots after picking it up from someone haha. Is it possible to create a CTF gametype without custom loadout?
Amazing.
I played a game of Doubles Pro on Haven. My teammate sucked and had no mic. He promptly died 6 times (he did get 1 kill though!) then quit. Didn't get a teammate for the rest of the match, got double teamed every time I met an enemy. Blagh.
I honestly don't know why JiP was introduced. It simply does not work most of the time.

Power weapons spawn every 30 seconds. Literally. It is a shame. Forge maps suffer from the same problem.

Sure. In almost every scenario where my teammate or I killed someone, the enemy would respawn in our direct vicinity. After I kill someone, I run away as far as possible in stead of waiting for shield to recharge, because if you stand still, you'll get killed immediately.

It's not just you man. Nobody had any issue with him at that time. These new claims were very shocking for most I think. Either way what is done is done.
Finished spartan ops btw and another win for David and the team I think except one thing. I really really hate how 343 has made it a point to beat Halsey over the head with how evil she was while for the most part ignoring that she was but a small cog in the machine for this. They also certainly never condemned her when "her" Spartans were turning the tide of the war. It's actually very sad how now I'm rooting for her and like fuck ONI and the UNSC except Chief. He's cool.
There's no power weapon that spawns every 30 seconds. Was it Infinity Doubles? He may have dropped an extra sniper or something.

Completely OT but Neogaf Mobile highlights your posts even when you get quoted. Anything like this for NeoGAF desktop.

For Chrome, yes. Here's a list of extensions.
Thank you. I probably checked just before it was released... Or something prevented new videos from showing (or something).

Thanks, I'm using firefox for now. I sit a decent distance from my monitor so iv decided to use User Agent Switch and just browse using Mobile GAF.
Wow, that's actually pretty useful. I like the highlights for mobile and I didn't expect there to be anything like this for chrome. (I only use AdBlock, which everybody should have)
Edit: If you don't see my later post then I should clarify that GAF is white listed.
Pro tip: saying you use adblock is a bannable offense.
But you disable AdBlock for this site, right? Right?!?!?!

Well to his defense he didn't say he used it on neogaf. You can whitelist a page remember.

I think Laskey might (later on) Disobey orders to Eliminate Dr. Hasley. Why introduce him in FUD as a friend of Chief and make him into this important Noble character within this trilogy only to obey orders in Killing another Human being (Knowing it being Catherine)? It doesn't add up. Imo.
You should disable AdBlock for sites you want to support. I hope you do.

Browsing GAF without that is such a chore, especially with how popular and oft-quoted I am.
Edit : Careful, you can get banned for saying you use ad-block to block ads on GAF.

Does anyone know if you can still get single player or multiplayer(or both) achievements after they shut down the halo 2 vista servers?

On mobile the other day there was an ad that said "we have your cat," and linked to some weird giraffe forums.
GAF has some weird ads.

hahahaha oh gosh. My first game of Infinity CTF on Exile. Total clusterfuck... haha
First up I had a sniper and killed a few guys at their spawn... Had a little thing going with my team mate who was also helping with his own sniper. Mixing things up a bit, I capped a flag and got the Spartan Laser with the ordnance. Because I'm annoying, I only used the Spartan Laser on the same guy continuously while pinging people across the map with the DMR. Then I found an FRG (some guy was camping in their base with it) and killed maybe two other guys at their spawn before dying. Then I had an Incineration Cannon and felt kinda bad as I was again shooting the enemy team who were spawning in the open.
...
Never playing that crap again. Wasn't fun. It was stupid.
RIP CTF

Was it a modified variant? Was there a tank and/or Gauss and/or Banshee? I never got it to pop up for me to check for myself.
I'm on mobile over 96% of my time on GAF, another 3% of my time on GAF is at my university's school computers which don't allow for extensions of any kind, and that last 1% on my computer has GAF white listed, along with some other sites. It probably would've been smart to clarify that and I did know about the rule, I just didn't think to clarify that.
GAF needs my Zoosk advertisement dollars!!!

So the Gauss is still on Exile? Man oh man. Haven't played versus in a while, but my last few games on Exile were always about that damn Gauss gunner dominating everyone else, and our suicidal runs to put a stop to it.
Yeah - Just regular Warthogs and Ghosts I think (which sounds good on paper, but now there are far too many power weapons floating around)

On the note of league play. BO2 did something recently Halo shoul have. In the lobby when you highlight someone's gamer tag (even in regular playlists) it shows their highest league ranking.
That's good news. It needs to go global. Eight and a half years of trying to put the Scorpion into matchmaking should have drilled the lesson home by now: it doesn't work.
I'd imagine it works well enough outside of Infinity CTF, which is kind of a disaster from the lone game I played of it.

That's what I hope. Out of all the new characters introduced he's the only one I remotely like.

I dig Thorne, Halsey, Laskey and yeah, even Palmer. She's exactly a FemShep space marine, and solves problems with kicks and lets her aggro out on control panels. Fine by me.
There's no way they take Halsey out.

Ah I said new. Halsey isn't new. I do like her. The others I'll say to each their own.
It's not. Being a douchebag towards Evillore about it is.

Also, I don't think that post highlight extension works in combination with the dark theme.

Where are everyone's avatars?
Despite Halsey being a jerk, killing her would be a moral event horizon for most characters. Also, there's the schtick that Halsey is more ''interesting'' alive than dead in terms of the Halo universe.
That said, ''threatening'' to kill her opens up a whole world of possibilities on how it could shake out, I'm just not sure what they will do to wrap it up in basically 10 more minutes of cinematics (and maybe a bit after the final episode.)
Thorne and Lasky are decent but we don't really have enough about them to get how they tick, really. I get that Lasky is an inspirational guy who people like, but that's not a whole lot. We know more about a 17-year old version of him than we do about the present guy.
It does occur to me that SOps Season 1 has largely, by intention or accident, become a Halsey story. Which isn't really a bad thing, as it's one of the most interesting characters in the universe.

You're a braver man than most to even try that.
Part of me gets a kick out of the idea of Halsey being encrypted into the Domain and becoming a new Cortana for all practical purposes.
