*hugs*

Why would Frankie do this to us!? *sobs*

*looks up and away*

I don't know, Trey.

I just don't know

 

[789shadow]

Maybe he can't say no because that would in a way confirm things.

 

[Tashi]

Anyone interested in doing a HaloGAF podcast with me? I'm looking for 2 maybe 3 "regulars" and then obviously have a new guest every podcast. I wanna get these wheels in motion. Probably just going to do it over Skype.

 

[feel]

Is that Baghdad bob? Do you really want to get that close to EasyB. Seriously, this is fucking funny though.

Nah, I'm just going for the humorous damage control angle of Baghdad Bob. Not actually likening OWV to him in other aspects.

 

[Trey]

My

thinking as well.

Hey, we'll look back on this day and laugh at the notion that we believed even for a second that 343 was going to put freaking X-Rays into Halo 4. Right guys? right?...

Ha, ya know what, you're totally right. I mean, c'mon guys, instant respawns? In Halo? I can't believe we even for a minute thought this was real. Let me get out of here man, you guys are silly

*walks away, mouthing "it can't be real, it cant be real, it cant be real" all the way home*

What kind of stuff would you want to cover? I might be interested.

 

[The Librarian]

I dunno. Maybe I won't be bothered by all these changes. Maybe equipment didn't bother me in Halo 3 but AAs bothered me in Reach because I was no longer agile like I was in 2/3. If I have the agility and base player traits I did in 2/3, I might be okay with it. Maybe.

Yeesh. I need clarification.

 

[Trey]

Put me down in the guest column.

Godspeed.

oh god lol

Whatcha been playin? (Playlists or gametypes in Halo that you're currently playing)
Current and popular topics in the thread
News
And then various topics that are made for each podcast for us to discuss.

Maybe gonna have it once every 2 weeks? Not sure yet.

 

[Im_So_Pringles]

Here should be a good cure for some of our racing thoughts.....

Turn the volume down on the rain a little and it's perfect

 

[Der Flatulator]

Still a better idea than Armor lock.

Aww damn this is nice.

I would be interested in being a guest

 

[The Librarian]

That actually relaxed me. :lol

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

TRUE THAT. Fuck COD. It single-handedly ruined all of the shooter genre, including Halo. You win this time, Activision.

people felt the exact same way when Halo was THE console fps to play lol.

 

[Tashi]

That actually relaxed me. :lol

Haha, I know. It's really nice. The rain makes such a difference.

 

[Trey]

Still a better idea than Armor lock.

Not even. And really, it's an irrelevant argument.

 

[HiredN00bs]

Driving to the in-laws in PA...what the fuck is happening here?

 

[789shadow]

Driving to the in-laws in PA...what the fuck is happening here?

The world is burning.

 

[VivaciousJazzy]

Wait it was real?

I'd like to see how they try and make this sound better....

as for firefight...

 

[The Real Napsta]

Driving to the in-laws in PA...what the fuck is happening here?

Yeah, wtf is going on?

 

[BackdoorBeauty]

Still a better idea than Armor lock.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

It's most likely Dmr or br and pistol or assault rifle type load outs. Otherwise there would be no point in having power weapon spawns.

They should meet half way and just give everyone random weapon spawns.

 

[Dug]

I'm just going to copy pasta what I think about the leaks from the other thread:

I'm going to hold out on judging this info until I get to see it in motion and 343 explains it more. But damn do those elites look creepy.

 

[Fracas]

They should meet half way and just give everyone random weapon spawns.

Psh, then the game wouldn't rely on skill anymore.

 

[Trey]

Have all 14 pages been leaked or just these few?

Only have seen 6 so far.

Don't ask, N00bs. It's better you don't know. Remain pure!

 

[.shin]

There's only been 5 pages that we've seen.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Wait what have I missed? Fill me in.

Sounds pretty interesting.

I'm almost sure it's going to be like that. I think even the article mentioned, choice your primary and secondary weapons and then listed weapons such as BR, AR, DMR, 'Assault Carbine', Covenant Carbine, Magnum, Plasma Pistol.

 

[kittens]

Damn, wading through all the info. I'm immensely skeptical of the decisions on some of this stuff, but some of it sounds awesome, too. New DMR looks weird. It'll take some getting used to. New AR looks really plain -- hope they jazz it up.

Per usual: can't wait to see more.

When's this fabled podcast due? Is it the next Sparkast?

 

[Trey]

I was just wondering if there was any reason to still be excited for my copy.

Plenty. Hopefully this is all a ruse to be exposed with actual information from the article, and even if it's not fake, there's still some quality screens to indulge yourself in.

 

[Havok]

Should probably have folks record their end and sync it up in post. Generally the only way to make skype podcasts sound okay.

I'd be willing to talk into microphones if getting folks on is a problem. Bleep out the swears. Or don't.

 

[CyReN]

People are saying Frankie can't deny and say stuff is false, that is bs right? I swear he's said stuff in the past.

 

[Dug]

Only have seen 6 so far.

Don't ask, N00bs. It's better you don't know. Remain pure!

Only six? Wonder why the guy didn't describe the other eight...

Yeah looks super out of place compared to everything else. Hopefully placeholder.

 

[The Real Napsta]

Didn't this random weapon spawn rumor come up before and frankie squashed it?

 

[senador]

I dunno, but the mag hasn't even hit shelves yet. They still want it to sell and stuff and I'm sure they have agreements to not talk so GI can cover it. So there's something to think about.

 

[feel]

Can't get enough of looking at the AR, the DMR and Cortana. I really like the look they gave them. Didn't like how the AR/DMR looked in Reach and Cortana hasn't looked good to me since the original cartoony one in Halo 1.


And still listening to ODST OST + Rain on repeat lol

 

[El_Chino]

I like the new look of the elites, shows that they've been broken off from the rest of the Covenant. Almost looks like militia style Elites.

 

[Tashi]

Oh for real? Ok. And yea, any recording advice with Skype would be greatly appreciated. Was just going to go with Audacity and record my voice along with whatever Skype is putting out.

If anyone has played with me they know I curse a lot. I'm not gonna be filthy but I'm certainly not going to bleep or censor anyone.

 

[the anime man]

Didn't this random weapon spawn rumor come up before and frankie squashed it?

Yeah, I'm 100% positive I heard this before.

 

[Steelyuhas]

The only thing this really proves is for the hundredth time, magazines are the worst medium for information on video games.

 

[Fracas]

Wait what have I missed? Fill me in.

From what I remember:

random weapon spawns
customizable armor abilities(including what is essentially a wallhack known as forerunner vision
sprint is a constant AA
instant spawn, no delay

a lot more that I can't recall off the top of my head
edit: oh yeah:
drop in/drop out
no firefight
"spartan ops"-think spec ops from call of duty, but halo style and updated monthly with a continuous story.

 

[Trey]

It may have to do with an embargo on the GI article, but things aren't adding up.

His confirmations have usually been saying nothing, whereas his denials have been cryptic but implicit. In this case, I'm rationalizing (read: hoping) that he wouldn't say something like "I wouldn't worry" to a group of pretty riled up people if there was, indeed, something to worry about.

The consensus of the Halo fanbase is rather clear on these particular game designs and systems.

Basically, the idea is to do a countdown and have everybody clap. That'll throw up a big fat jump on the waveform for each person and you can pretty easily get everything synced once the cast sends the editor the file for their end. That way, you avoid general internet voice choppiness.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Keep that optimism, man. For all of us.

Im trying. Not gonna lie, at lot of this stuff is worrying, but I'm just gonna take it for what it is and move on from there. I will be pissed if we can spawn with weapons such as Snipers, Shotguns, Rockets, etc.

That said, a lot of it is exciting at the same time. Btw, has anyone summed up some if the information from the scans that wasn't posted in the initial summary? Im trying to compile everything we know.

 

[Recarpo]

I just read the info and my hope is slowly dying. I'm hoping some of this is cleared up and doesn't end up as bad as it's sounding to me.

Sounds like a good idea. Thank you sir!

Scribbling ideas and stuff on my notebook. I think it's going to be good. Format is very 1up Yours. AKA, the best gaming Podcast ever.
