Halo |OT14| They call it Halo

The Magnum is my choice of weapon in SWAT. Very fast ROF, the first shot is percfectly accurate always.
Very good in close quarters, equal with DMR and BR at long range (well, arguably DMR's scope gives advantage at very long range BUT SWAT maps are not that large).
I use BR if i'm not using the Magnum.
SWAT + Abandon = Magnum
No. Mine is the DMR.
But right now I'm almost done with the BR commendations, so for now, I got to SWAT to finish that up.
The DMR is OP in the sense of it being in a choice of other starting weapons, every other weapon has their real weakness, right now I don't think the DMR's bloom is really harming it.
It is still easy as shit to use in close range, it is good at long range( valhalla may cry) and has still a good ROF.
It isn't OP that it needs to be removed from the game but it could be a good weapon on the map with BR spawns or it has to be altered a little bit.

Have not recorded the interview yet. We'll probably record it this coming week. Just trying to iron out all the details.
If the DMR was a map pickup then I'd be fine with it, BR starts in this game is so much better.
Edit: Also, it's really annoying sometimes when people use the magnum because they just spam the fire button and hope for a headshot, it really throws me off sometimes because I like to scope in a lot and aim precisely, expecting to be descoped and get the headshot. But no, I just get flinched all of over the place until I get killed or headshot. Alas poor descoping, I knew him well.
No probs, take your time. I just wasn't sure if I'd missed an update on it/it though I've been checking the HaloGAF website and I'm subbed on iTunes.

SO. GOOD!
I just walked around the map, shooting the other team, walking onward, shooting them again... Then i go across the map, and shoot them in to faces.
So good.
EDIT when i say walk, i mean it. Well, move normally. Anyway, i never sprint in SWAT. Too risky, better to have my weapon at the ready ALWAYS.
Precisely. Sprinting in SWAT will get you blasted. Walk, Magnum, Win.

It is the one on one of the 'tree trunks' off the cliff on the beach area, it is possible to pick it up in Infinity Doubles and fly back up with a Jetpack, some guy on Ninja's stream just showed him how to do it, and he had like 700+ viewers at the time.
Might need to be hidden fully out of bounds.
Here you go.
What's that flying around on skyline?
These actually look pretty neat! Skyline does kind of look more like a Mass Effect city than a Halo one, but after how boring looking New Alexandria was I think I'm okay with that.
I just hope Landfall is the bigger of the three, aesthetically it's the one I'd like to play least often.

I just realized:
Do the low-detail geometric blocks that make up the buildings with basic light textures on Skyline
Remind anyone else of the Fourside stage from Melee?

Depends on the map but smaller maps yes. I use it all the time and own.

I only use the BR on Haven and Adrift, any other map is the DMR. Will switch when the opposing team is camping inside the base on Solace.

Man... the frame drops in CE: A just make me so sad 
I know it's probably the most unlikely thing ever, but I really hope that some time in the future I can play that game at 60fps and with some AA, because aside from that the game is absolutely gorgeous, and pretty much perfection. I feel compelled to play it all the time, as it's still my favourite Halo campaign. There's no direct, level-by-level progression like this in any other Halo game, imo:
Halo > Truth and Reconciliation > The Silent Cartographer > Assault on the Control Room

Let's not forget, Halo 2 seemed to do well even after the 360 released.

Yeah but what competition did Halo 2 have honestly? It was the best pretty much (arguably) up until Gears.

This.
Halo 2 remained relevant because it was uncontested. Call of Duty 2 had a poor player base. PDZ never really hit it off. Halo 2 was Hype then it was a massive force it steamrolled launch titles.
This generation begun in an online capacity with Gears but it never really cemented itself until Halo 3/CoD4

Um is this guy in the Destiny thread implying that the Destiny ViDoc trailer leaked earlier today for a little bit?
He was the one that posted the animated concept art gif.
He was the one that posted the animated concept art gif.
Based on that, the Vidoc, if real, won't contain anything really. Just like i thought, talk a lot, show some stuff but keep quiet about actual gameplay, story etc.
Won't sell the game to me...
I thought the animated concept arts were fan-made?
I agree with this. Even with Gears out I, personally, didn't know many people with that game. We were all still playing Halo 2. It was only when 2007 arrived that I feel Xbox Live really kicked off on the 360.

Yes they do indeed look like buildings.

If real then a 5 min video is kind of on the short side. Hopefully it comes alongside a big ass press release.
Somehow i doubt that. Maybe some more pics and videos from press, with interviews and stuff...
...
Actually, that would be big.

wtfffff. My speed seems to be fine elsewhere but on youtube it seems to hover around 130-200 KB/s. AT&T Uverse.
So what sensitivity do you guys generally play on? I used to play default, but after Halo 4 came out I wanted to make the jump to 9 so I started playing Sensitivity Practice Ops and I got used to it. But watching Ninja play on 4 makes me see some shots that I definitely could never pull off on a 9.
Well there's your first problem.

I'm on the other side of Atlantic so it may be regional issue... No issues here in Finland.

So apparently the Destiny Vidoc Leak the guy saw had "Stuff about guilds and ships"

Not talking specifics, just saying how it sucks that a Halo game is quickly diminishing while a new generation of consoles is upon us. I hope there's something in store for Halo when the next Xbox is shown..

Awesome read. Great insight into some of the creation for Halo 3. And happy belated birthday!
So we'll be exploring that city in Halo 4: ODST 2 right?Skyline
I'd love to see stuff on the most played episodes, the number of solo games vs. co-op games, stats on kills that players get and deaths that they have, etc. Some more nitty-gritty ones would be like where are players dying the most or how many people started versus people completing it.
It's like I'm talking to a crazy train all over again.
The way this is worded makes it seem like HaloGAF likes to dislike Halo 4, and I know that's not your intent. But I can pretty much guarantee that's not the case. Just speaking for myself here, but I want that game that I can sit down and play with other people for hours on end again and then come to the forums and talk about the hell of a great time that I just had. Look at Dax's "Halo 3 with Dan" post. Look at the picture stories in the Halo 3 thread. You just don't have those moments in Halo 4 and it sucks to not have those moments. So when people come back to the forums, what are they to post about? Things that were okay or things that weren't fun and could be addressed?

We only got 2 interwebs here in my Milwaukee suburb, AT&T Uverse or Time Warner.
I play on 4 on pretty much all the Halos.

The multiplayer maps in Halo 4 generally have good backgrounds?
The Spartan Ops backgrounds are pretty bad though...

Sorry, I completely missed this.
Player count per episode
Average group size
Matchmaking numbers vs Private Numbers
Average Deaths per episode
Total kill counts
Anything you guys are tracking that's worth reading I suppose.
Yes! It has been slow as hell since the day before yesterday. Terribly frustrating.
The only one that's truly an evident jpg is Harvest. And even then it's not too bad.
