That must've taken forever.
This piece of shit old phone came an app that allowed you to create your own ringtones by mixing and matching different beats and segments that you could choose from a limited library....so, since I had no clue how to use any music creating program, I busted it out and made this (adding the occasional voice on the pc afterwards):
(you might want to turn down the speakers, this could hurt)

Hope you're right.
I come back to 2 pages of shit (seriously 2 fucking pages you have to argue, we get it u mad. let it go) only to be pleasantly surprise at the end with letter's and tashi's submissions.
some thoughts
tashi- add br bursts to counteract the sawing because brs are infinitely better than saws
letters- don't distort the voice so much. I have no fucking clue what is being said:lol

It was much clearer before I turned it up a notch to do a bit of parody on the lyrics of some house/electro (or whatever) songs I sometimes hear. :lol
It says:
"prepare your aural senses"
"it's time for"
"bungie podcast" a ton of times
"with brian, luke and eric"
I don't plan on submitting it, just made it for fun, won't bother wasting more time editing it.
Still, thanks for giving it a listen guys.
This can be the theme they use for the podcast when they announce the features that won't be in Reach: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKr6pYGM0nw
Probably late night dementia, but I was looking at the high-res version of the shot of Overlook, and I noticed this:
Is it me, or does that look like a turret? Placed on a ledge overlooking (haha) the downhill slope, on a tripod. No mention of them in any of the write ups I've read, or on b.net, so probably not. But it made my heart go pitter pat.

Does look a lot like one.

So..My take on the podcast song is coming along. Kinda. Maybe Ill have something to show. :lol
I was wondering the same thing when I saw that. Unfortunately, I guess that means that support weapons are definitely out. I wonder if it will have a cool down like the warthog turret.

Agreed on both counts. I thought both were both creative and hilarious, though.vhfive said:
Tashi - Too much AR. Not enough deemer. Unless it's supposed to be the "Shishka Matchmaking Remix."
Letters - I knew exactly what you were trying to do with the house voice, and I lol'd. The only thing I could understand was the roll call at the end.

I wouldn't get worked up over the turret, it's probably the exact same as the halo 3 turret, but when carrying it, it stops the user from using his abilities, which would be a large enough tradeoff in my books.
I thought this was obvious. It is, of course the camera for theater mode. Due to time restraints Bungie had to cut some resources from Reach but they didn't want to completely remove any features. So for theater mode there is only a fixed camera (shown in picture) that you can view past games from. I can envision getting many multi-kills while people huddle together for a group screenshot.GhaleonEB said:Probably late night dementia, but I was looking at the high-res version of the shot of Overlook, and I noticed this:

What? Valhalla had both a turret and support weapons...Demoncarnotaur said:
Even though I'm an below average Halo player, I'm still pretty hyped for this. Got some buddies who are actually pretty decent to help get me through! :lol I haven't kept up with Reach apart from the first Vidoc and I'm not a regular reader of HaloGAF so what would be the best place to get up to speed on the Beta?
Apologies in advance!

Is he right about the "headshotted" word? It sounds weird. I would like it better if they were icons instead of phrases.GhaleonEB said:If I think of something, I'll let you know.

I can't think of any other way you could vocalize the act of getting a headshot on someone. Obviously it isn't headshooted.godhandiscen said:
Leave them be, that is the only way they get to keep up with the Best [aka getting a kill here and there], other wise they would get demolished.Tashi0106 said::lol True, and if you ask me, it seems as though the best HaloGAF players play Default. It might be time to switch back n00bs

I switched back even though I am not awesome. The road to recovery was way easier than I thought it'd be. I think it took me more than two weeks to initially imprint Bumper Jumper into my memory. The move back took about ten games, give or take (though I still blame all of my losses on the switch).

I haven't even tried Bumper Jumper. I'm sure it's harder than the switch from H2 to H3 to H2 to H3 again :lol which I already had enough trouble with.
The extrapolation of "Headshot" would be "Headshot," as in "I headshot him" instead of "I shot him."
But that sounds dumb. "X shot Y in the head." sounds dumb, too. Headshotted sounds better even if it's wrong.

Pretty brutal. Nothing is less awesome than circling the enemy base in your Banshee with dreams of death dealing only to hit the wrong button, eject, and deliver the damn thing to the opposition without even firing a shot.
"What happened? Did they jack our Banshee?"
Ugh. Hmm.

Wait, you didn't mess around in Forge or whatever to nail down the superior controls before hitting MM?
After using Halo 2's controls, I was going around reloading in people's faces like some kind of uber confident mutha instead of giving folks a well deserved melee. It took three games to create Bumper Jumper, it's just right, IMO. Default FTL.
Switching control schemes is just messy, it's better sticking to one choice.

Switching to BJ was made easy when playing Crow's Nest on Heroic.
Nothing like having 50 Brutes beat the control scheme into you.

I actually have dabbled with Bumper Jumper way back when it was first getting popular. I wasn't crazy about it. Sometimes in MLG though I'll get bored and change control schemes and sensitivities on the fly between deaths. Instead of reacting instinctively to the game and your surrounds you're actively thinking about which buttons to hit. Usually I end up hitting the wrong button and just try to deal with it in the middle of a fight :lol Green thumb is crazy. B to zoom in?? Fuuuuck that lol.

It's much easier than you think once you remember that your left index finger (i.e. left trigger and left bumper) is used for manoeuvring (boost and flips), while your right index finger (i.e. right trigger and right bumper) is used for firing the weapons.
Feel free to adjust the above rule if you're one of those weird people that puts their middle fingers on the triggers. :lol
