Did anyone post that Welcome To Noble Team is now online?
Just the live action trailer is online right now, but under coming soon there is the "Become a Spartan III" and "Spec Ops Gallery".
While I really like the extended cut a lot more, I still agree it needs a little more.. Something. Was really cool to see the nods to the books though.

About the commercial and it may have already been asked pages back...
Shouldn't Spartans be 7 feet tall in their armour? He looks barely over 6 on a good day. Also, shouldnt they be more muscular? Maybe I'm just nit picking but the height thing really bothered me. They're supposed to turn heads with their sheer size.

I'm attempting to code up a little app where you'll be able to input whatever stats the formula takes and see what it spits out. You'll be able to put in anything and see what your rating would be.

The commercial showed Carter-259, who is a Spartan III. They are, in general, less physically impressive than the Spartan IIs. And the commercial shows him undergoing the augmentations that would go on to provide his large physical stature and musculature.

I could be wrong, but from what I remember reading the III's were not as big in size as II's. Since they were mass produced they used fairly standard armor as well.
As for the muscles, after the entire process I assume he will be.

S-III (Carter) =/= S-II (Chief, Jorge)
Note how Jorge is enormous in the reveal. He's the only Spartan-II, where the others are all Spartan-IIIs, which are basically the cheap knock-off versions.

The Spartan-III's (most of Noble Team) are a bit smaller than the II's, although they're still large. Compare the size of Jorge in the VGA trailer with everyone else to get a sense of the size difference.Tapiozona said:

Spartan IIIs aren't as huge as their Spartan II counterparts. While they aren't little guys, they aren't something as crazy as a Spartan II which is primarily due to different augmentation processes.
EDIT- Beaten many times over. I'm a slow typer. :lol

Yeah this is right. But they did not use a standard armor. I think the SpartanIII Armor is much better as the ODST Armor.Deadly Cyclone said:

Made a bit more streamlined version of Ghaleon's chart. I could have used bubbles, but made it in Excel.

So many confusing and funny charts, I'm not sure if I will play arena that much, I have a feeling invasion and generator defense will be my most played when the beta ends.

I'm a few pages behind, but :lol @ ghal's meltdown. And I'm seeing in the review that ya'll ran with the crazy flowcharts. :lol
I'm sure it probably has been explained, but the Daily Ratings are an entrance barrier. You need to get them or you don't go into the system. Once you get them, you can be done. Or you can continue playing, which will affect shit. If the system is done right though, having 3 (or whatever to get the DR) perfect games a day should be the only requirement for being numero un.

I love that movie. First Dreamworks CG movie that actually stood up to Pixar stuff IMO.

I fully plan on attempting to break this formula anyway that I can.
I can't believe you guys are talking about Drobe` :lol

Haggis is wretched, but I'm pretty sure the Scots invented shortbread and they continue to supply me with whisky and Irn-Bru, so all is forgiven.
You have a fascinating definition of "meltdown". I'm interested in understanding the Arena system, and there was clearly a great deal of confusion on it in the thread. I'm a visual thinker, so I make a diagram and ask for clarification. That's a "meltdown"? As far as I can tell, eveyone is quite calm.Son of Godzilla said:

Probably been asked but can you search for custom games now? One of the most disappointing things in Halo 2 AND Halo 3 AND Halo odst is not being able to. Such a silly and stupid decision.
Unless you have a grip of friends on call, you pretty much never see or play custom games. It would be a much, much appreciated thing to implement.
(And no MM or search for firefight at least would be facepalm superfail)

Would you really want to end up in a randomers custom game though? Its likely you would just end up in a LOT of frustratingly bad games. Most people who run decent customs would just keep theyre lobby invite only so they only played with friends. Nothing worse than a random racist from Live in your customs.
P.s. HaloGaf has hit a new low, talking about Haggis. At least talk about something like Chicken.
Chicken vs Haggis is the new AR vs BR :lol
Visiting a friend up in Edinburgh I was forced at knife-point [okay, he offered a smidgeon on the end of an unused knife] to try it when we had lunch in the café just outside the castle. Did not like it one bit - far too 'oaty'.OuterWorldVoice said:

Following all of these Twitter accounts to get early access codes is annoying, but I can't stop!

No but really, multiple pages where every time you posted you included the one line quote about all games affecting Division and how earth-shattering this revelation was. I mean fuck, there's even a "hold on, I'm gonna make a chart" followed by a damn chart. Oh and, of course, the ridiculously straight-forward chart just makes your bewilderment even more confusing.
Anyways I didn't mean anything by it, it was just funny as fuck.
