FOR TITANFALL.

Awwwww yisss.

I think I just came.

Today I realized that I was already out of high school when Halo 2 came out.

And Halo 2 feels like forever ago.

RIP my youth.
So far, I actually love getting older. Check with me when I'm 39 tho.

I was 12 when Halo 2 came out. I think. The memories.
 
Played a few games of Team Slayer, went 26+4 one game and 32+6 in another hnnnnnng

Best pair of back to back games for me in a very long time.

In the 32 kill one I got off to a fast start getting a spree in the first 30-40 seconds and called in ordnance, got a damage boost and was able to dong on brodies to get a triple + double not long after and ended up dying at 12 kills in the first ~minute and a half of the game. The rest of my team combined had 4 kills at that point. I slowed down a lot but best start for me in a single game on Halo 4 so far I think.

You're older than I thought! You've got Ghaleon beat by a few years then. I'm only 29, but I'm probably in the top 5% HaloGAF age percentile. Karl probably has this data in a spreadsheet somewhere.
I heard that Elzar has done some plastic surgery to himself. He might be older than Mr. Burns.

Ampoc, you were 3 when Halo 1 came out. My brain hurts.

Welcome!

Ampoc, I see you like BTB.

Welcome!

Haha, thanks, and yeah.

Nice to meet you two.

>16
>only has PS3 for The Last of Us
>has an Xbox One

It's like a younger me. :')

I guess so haha. The Last of Us is probably the only reason I'm keeping my PS3. It's so great.

Hi ampoc, maybe we could play BTB sometime? There goes being the youngest one in the thread.

Hey, I would love to play some BTB but I don't really have live for my 360 atm. I have live for my XOne though since my brother has live on it, so if you have a XOne and BF4, I'll play with you.

Feel free to hit me up, my XBL is: HAv0c99

It's fucking weird, man.

I'm just surprised because they weren't around when it was new at all. A lot of people who play halo are old as balls because, to us, the game blew us away when it was new and we were young. I just can't see a 16 year old picking up a copy of halo CE and thinking it's the best game ever made by today's standards. Well, maybe I can, but I can't see them keeping up with it after how mediocre halo 2's single player was. I wonder how long they've played halo and what games they spent the most time on.

Whatever the answers are, it's still strange to see them here talking about it with people who grew up playing these games.

I understand what you're saying. I wasn't really there for Halo: CE. But I remember fully playing Halo 2 when I was 7. Although most Halo players were a lot older than me, I still felt blown away. There really was no game like Halo at the time. And at the time I fell in love with Halo only because of the fun I had playing my family and cousins.

But yeah, I guess I played more of the "bad Halos" then the good. I probably spent the most time on Reach. I also played a lot of Halo 3, but more of Reach. I only played Reach because of the amazingly fun customs.I played with a lot of my friends and we just had a blast playing a variety of gametypes and minigames.

I wasn't the same Halo fan at the time of Halo 2 then I am now. At the time I played Halo, it was because it was fun, unique, beautiful and playing it with my brothers made it even better. I became a big-time Halo fan sometime around the Halo 3 era when I really just dove into the story line and multiplayer and just became more competitive. So I still "grew up" with the series. Not as old, but old enough.

Yup, this is true for a lot of the younger people I know. Forge / Forge World was a huge draw.

Breach is an objective based gametype which includes some of the premises Reach's Invasion included.
Does the attackers and defenders alternate between veteran and rookie like 1 flag? Or is it fixed to each game type what you play as and I sorry If I'm kinda jumping ahead of what you've posted. I do like the core delivery game type thingy.
I was 29 when Halo CE came out. :-|
That makes you older than both of my parents by at least 2 years, I started playing CE when I was like 5 or 6.

Well If you buy me one I could play battlefield 4 with you :p, If I ever get a upgrade to a bone I'll play some games with you if you want? If we both have the same game of course.

Lol. Yeah sure, anytime. Always up to play with some new people. Just get Titanfall around that time and we're good. :)
 
Interesting. I don't really understand the Rookie and Veteran thing, but I like the Transmission idea.

It's just like Invasion's elites and spartans, I wanted to clearly diferentiate between each team.

You can alter each teams traits plus each team gets a few exclusives skills, you'll get more details on the later soon.

Teams switch sides after the round is over, just like in Invasion ;)

You can also change what team is attacking or defending.

Hey HaloGaf, I'm 22 going on 23. Am I about the average age in here? Haha

I'm 20. Feels fucking good!

Nah. I did make one yesterday that has my post counts for every Halo OT I was a part of. In the five Reach OTs I was a member for, I had just over 900 posts. That was just under a year of posts. I'm baffled(not in a good way, apologies for being blunt) that someone has over a 1000 posts in a couple of months with nothing in terms of news.
 
Does it really bother people that some have a lot of posts? I like to think Halo communities consist of fans that tend to stay close with one another, so it's never surprising or off-putting to me how much we get off topic around here. Who cares Stormtrooper has so many posts, what harm does it do?

We're all Halo fans enjoying each other's company. Isn't that the point of these threads: to foster an interesting community that extends beyond the game itself?

I thought the point to HaloGAF was to talk about how shitty Halo 4 is and talk about literally every other fps on xbox besides Halo...

I grow old, but I don't grow up.
I feel like growing up is the best part of growing old. Well, unless growing up means working 40+ hours a week until retirement (if you live that long), then to hell with that. The older I get the better my relationships and general life is, and I definitely attribute that to growing up, becoming more emotionally intelligent, being able to look beyond my own life experiences more, etc.

I've aged pretty well so far. My secret is excruciating social anxiety and never leaving the house.

Is age a big deal to people or what?
Nah, it's just interesting to talk about.

Ah should have realized that is what you were going for. Cool, can't wait for more info.

But I'm a ToysRUs kid, it was explained to me (with a very catchy song) that I didn't have to grow up.

Old people take everything too seriously, talk about their snot-nosed kids all the goddamned time (I can stare at grapes too, what the fuck happened to our friendship??), and smell like boxed wine mixed with judgment. barf

A year or two ago when i had a posting streak, people complained about it to me (and noted that was what got Zoojoo banned, when it actually was stupid posts, not posting a lot). Seen complaints about posting a lot before too. People here sure seem to have an issue with posting a lot. Don't understand why.
EDIT i could have been posting off-topic... can't recall. Usually i try to avoid overt off-topic. Ah, well, whatever. Some people still have a problem with posting a lot here.

Evidently. One of those things i do not understand then, i guess.

No.

Also, 29 here too. Speedy is the youngest. Don't care what you all claim as your age. He... is the youngest. Has to be.

IT"S BECAUSE OF HIM vvvv

Even before the zoojoo fiasco, top posters in the thread has always been a joking wall of shame kinda thing.

It's just a matter of people who tend to post super frequently make bad posts.

If you compiled half of Stormtroopers posts you would have the entirety of Jurassic Park in gif form.

it's because when someone's number of posts goes above a certain number, it's pretty much a guarantee that a solid majority of their posts are just bad quality posts

yes because there are in some cases literally hundreds upon hundreds of them

Do like me, put the person in question to ignore, and start reading their posts again when someone quotes something actually interesting, or check them occasionally.

Hmm. Wonder how "arrange posts by poster" option would make threads appear...

Was someone making statistics about HaloGAF or something? What kind of things?

Over at PS4 availability thread, someone noted that Finland is PS-land, and that made me wonder, am i the only Finnish HaloGAFer here?

I may be able to help with your lack of LIVE Ampoc. I've got a few trial codes that came with my Xbox One, a game and my play and charge kit. All Xbox Live trial codes are universal right? If so, I can PM them to you if you want.

I feel like playing Halo 4 today. Crazy. The game has just been really fun lately... Though that's probably because everyone is a lot worse than I remember :lol

That'd be awesome. But, are you able to hold onto them for a little bit? I recently gave my 360 to my brother to let him borrow it for a little bit. Do you mind if you give me a code a little bit later until I get my 360 back?

Yup, this is true for a lot of the younger people I know. Forge / Forge World was a huge draw.

Yeah.. Halo 4 didn't really get close to the number of hours I played with Reach, even though I'm a level 130. One of the many things I deeply felt Halo 4 lacked. Sitting down and playing those custom games created some memories I will never forget.

No problem man. Just send a PM me when you want them. You can also add me on Xbox Live if too if you like. GT: Spartan3PC

I already have a job, I need one to pay for treatment for my gender dsyphoria. So although you may think that's funny, you're not stuck in a vile, disgusting and inescapable prison that is your own body.
I'm glad you are able to pay for treatment and get help. You still post too much tho. :p
