Ooh, I got a question, will we get separate achievements for reach MP or is (assuming the anniversary map pack is the last one) 1400 it?
You can work as my personal jester, you will be paid fortnightly and in ponies, job starts now.

I'd just like to thank HaloGAF for keeping me entertained after Irene BXR'd my power. I eat up my data everytime I check in but the overage charge will be worth it.
All my friends have left for school, I have no car, and no power, so its basically the worst week ever. But you guys have made it bearable. <3 You HaloGAF.
Hopefully I get my power back before Saturday. Because then I leave for school and it would be a while before I get an Xbox setup up and running.

If there is no bloom there is nothing random about where the shots go.HiredN00bs said:

I just plugged into the cat-5 jacks and ran that into a hub. You may have to register your Xbox on the network though.

I'm finally listening to the sparkcast and The Pit talk is making me want to boot up Halo 3.

That was one of the best podcasts I've heard in a very long time, or maybe ever. Great stuff.Captain Blood said:

True for low bloom, but we want zero bloom so no headshot is random. (before fyrewulff goes nuts, we also want capped ROF and zoom nerf on the dmr to go along)HiredN00bs said:

How much money would you ask to carry my books at school for one week?
after watching this interview, I think it is obvious a Halo 2 remake is being considered heavily lol

You always run it either bottom mid or top gold. You run it top gold when you have landing control because that either means they're going to spawn basement, ring 2, spiral, or (if they're really fucking lucky) flag. You run it bottom mid when your team doesn't have landing control but is in the process of doing so, because they more then likely spawned on their landing. You never run it holos or bridge (unless the other team is horrible) because if you die it puts the flag in a bad position and allows the other team to counter cap easily.

We're on the same page there. It's all good.
Also fix the bullet magnetism with the zero bloom Nerfle.
Just wanted to say that I thought the no bloom DMR was fine with the same scope and no ROF cap, really didn't feel broken at all, even on Timberland. I could see some concern for some of the existing BTB maps though, but for small maps, it just felt like glorious Halo gameplay that has been completely lost in Reach...

The only way I'd play a remake of Halo 2 with the original multiplayer is if the exploits were gone.
Superbouncing is already gone from Halo 2 Vista, because that was a Havok bug. BXR wasn't fixed because it was deeply entrenched in the animation system.
Add proper ceilings and killzones to the disc maps so people actually stay on the map and play the game. Have a Forge mode so people can delete them and go on the top of Headlong if they really want to.
Playing Halo 2 post-shutdown was awesome because people stayed on the maps and didn't do exploits. It was like the game we were supposed to get.
If all the exploits were there, it'd just end up like PDXBLA's online. Dead from people not wanting to play the Halo 2 exploit arms race metagame.
I'd love Halo 2 campaign remake... that campaign had so many glitches, it was fun to explore the world outside the proper map. Even if it was a bit empty... maybe a campaign remake could address this?
As for Halo 2 multiplayer.. meh. Maybe with all the MP glitches fixed, better netcode, vehicles not having so much traction (If Halo 2 has one major drawback outside glitches, it's it's shitty vehicle physics) and the rocket launcher making them very weak anyway.
But then Halo 2 MP remake won't happen. As CE MP isn't happening, why would Halo 2 MP happen? And Halo 4's coming soon anyway.

Reviewing binary last night, and the teacher asked for a number to use as an example. I was pretty quick on the draw.
^ we're proud son
Chances are BTB will still kinda suck if vehicles didn't get touched, so they might as well focus on making 4v4 gameplay REALLY GOOD
Bulletin should be dropping today right? Should be a fun one, with lots of PAX pictures/stories and hopefully the slight MP clarification Frank promised we would get soon after pax.
Awesome!Ramirez said:

Agreed.Ramirez said:
I suppose we could do some kind of comparison but it seemed to me that the 5 shot DMR seemed very close to the kill time of the 4 shot BR.

It was awesome because people were on their best behavior towards the end. I agree with Fyrewulff, as long as the shitty (yes, they were shitty) exploits were fixed I would love to play some H2 multi again.Roche178 said:
I didn't get a chance to play it on Timberlands to see how it affected long range, but I did play it on some small maps as well, and I agree. And not only did it play better from my end, but I didn't feel like it was overpowered on the other end. I got shot when I should have been shot, and I could land shots when I felt like I should land them. It was great.Ramirez said:
I am worried about BTB and I there something like the 85% bloom (which I really want to try) would work. But for small maps, zero was fantastic, and much better than I was expecting.

Halogaf I am disappointed in you. Only 88 posts in 8 hours. Tsk Tsk Tsk
I honestly doubt ANY XBLA title could cut into a main release, not that XBLA is bad or anything though lol.senador said:Dude, you don't know this. Who knows how they would handle it but surely any Xbox Halo with multi would cut into the mainline multi in some way.
The anniversary for Halo 2 is in 3 years. That's a while. Get hype levels in check.

That was Super Mario 64 for me. And part of the reason why I didn't really care for either Galaxy game.GhaleonEB said:
Also zero bloom yes please
Please 343, show us you know what you're doing with idlers in Reach!
So i hop on to play soome FF and get paired up with a Forerunner. As soon as I see his rank, I magically guess he's an idler.
Match starts and what does he do?
He goes here. He then proceeds to rubber band his left analog so he won't be actually idle without "moving"
He doesn't do it every match but he does it pretty regularly. He waits til he gets a couple of kills and then does this.
It's crap like this that ruins FF. Please 343, make this right.

Halo 2 is more plausible to bring back the multiplayer as it was made with the internet in mind, where Halo 1's multiplayer was not.
However, I'd be fine with just a campaign port + Halo 2 Live Co-op coming back from the dead.

You still get banned if you do this. It won't happen instantly though, the bans come in waves. The last banhammer update was actually to specifically nail the "get a couple of kills then rubberband" idlers.

The only playlist that it really 'ruins' is Limited. I really couldn't care less if some asshat is watching himself stand still while stuffing his mouth with food or whatever in any of the other unlimited life/ammo playlists. The fewer people stealing my kills, the better IMO.Gui_PT said:
