Halo |OT19| 793 Posts, And None Worth Reading

Well, there wasn't one that I know of last year. The last one I know of was the beginning of March 2012 when Halo 4 was first shown. There hasn't been any announcement of any event for this year. To make it worse, Phil Spencer just tweeted that there won't be anything major at GDC this year, and that most news will be closer to e3.

Going into Halo 4 alone can be so frustrating. I'm probably losing as many games as I'm winning these days... even if the enemy team are awful, my team is usually worse.

WHO RUSHES SPLASER AND CONTINUES GOING IN A STRAIGHT LINE TO THE ENEMY BASE, EFFECTIVELY HAND DELIVERING THE DAMN THING

This. If you're at all good the game is like "carry these scrubs."
 
RIP Kyle, Juices, Ora, Laughtrey...

Whoa, what the hell happened?

I just realized I still have Mortal Dictata lying around, and really should get to reading it. I'm reading Under The Dome by Stephen King right now, and it's starting to become a bit of a drag. It's not a bad book, it's just too long for its own good. The fact that I've been spoiled on pretty much everything doesn't help in that regard, either, though I'm usually more of a "the journey matters, not the destination"-kind of guy.

Elzar is a curse. He is a fan of DICE, who released the connection failed BF4. He loves Irrational Games, who just closed their doors. He said that yesterday it felt like old HaloGAF, 4 members are banned after his statement.

He has listed that he is also a Bungie fan. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

The curse is real.

We can turn this to use, no? Lets just get Elzar to be fan of something we want to get rid of.

EDIT. Wait. Bungie fan. Can i blame Elzar for Reach?

Sensitivity drops in splitscreen since at least Halo 3

Learning something new everyday. Is it supposed to be some built-in lag preventer, or some other reason?

Blaming it on info or lack thereof is stupid. People are jerks when there is info and even when Halo was more liked. Just don't be goddamn jerks.



:lol

Senador speaks truth.

I should be available to do customs next weekend or the weekend after. I want to play more Halo but I've only got so much free time I can justify playing and there's all these games I want to 100% too. First world problems and all...

Also people who wanna do customs should post gametype/map combos they want to play. I seem to default as games master but I suck at picking regular Halo maps/settings. People giving me an idea what they wanna play will help. I need to go trawling for new maps and gametypes as well.

Are Gabo's newest gametypes ready for prime time?

otherwise it's Bug Zapper all day everyday
 
INTRODUCTION

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES

Breach maps can feature a set of different secondary objectives available for the players aside from the main objectives, CTF and Transmission. Contrary to primary objectives these are not neccesary to win the round.

Secondary objectives build proccess is the same as dominion terminals, you hold them for a few seconds and once it finishes they are activated.

Turrets: turrets can only be initially built by the team they belong to but once built they can be hacked by an enemy player so it aids their team.

Barricades: once built barricades will offer extra cover, they can't be hacked or destroyed once built.

Doors or switches: these are the ones which take more time to build, they'll offer new access routes for attacking players to enter/exit the data core building

Next:

2. Class based roles.
3. Stage based map mechanics

Sabotage and a new version of Fuse should be ready by next weekend, I'll probably do a quick test match of Sabotage in the next few days with spme HaloGAFers.

We could also play VIP Countdown Escort mode and Rush Slayer next weekend, I have never played these modes with other people which is pretty ironic lol

Edit: today is double posts saturday it seems XD
 
I like the barricades it might offer interesting dynamic play, as they are placed by altering the paths to the primary objective. How does the door switch thing work? Does it cause something to despawn to provide access?

Yup, just imagine a building with three entrances, one of them is blocked by a door. By capturing the door you will despawn it and give your team another access route to enter and grab the data core.

There are other ways to spawn and despawn objects but that'll be another day.

Don't know if this has been posted, but today is Ragnarök, the Viking apocalypse and coincidentally, the most over-played BTB map in Halo 3/4.

In Halo 4, it is the only good map in the whole damn game (Longbow is decent in CTF).
In Halo 3, it is among the better BTB maps, can't recall what map i liked more though, if i did (certainly not Avalanche, now that one was really over-offered).

Seriously, both Reach and Halo 4 have horrible maps, i really, really wish this changes for Halo 5 but i don't expect that to happen.

Read this in an article.

"The world ends with a bang, not a whimper, in Norse mythology. There will be an epic battle between the gods, in this case Odin, the Allfather of the gods, along with other major gods including Thor, the god of thunder, Freja, the goddess of love, and Loki, the trickster god."

Best Apocalypse? Best Apocalypse.

That will be an interesting variation of gameplay, by making the defenders having multiple entrances to contend with. What sort of weapons would you spawn with? to prevent things like the first stage of boneyard from happening?

Exile pre removal of the gauss hog and scorpion was easily the one that came up most often. After that changd happened it shifted towards ragnarok and its dull flow.

I'd say for me the most played has been exile and ragnarok by far. With longbow followed by vortex, settler and meltdown. Excluding non existent dlc of course.

haven is better

Since i play exclusively BTB (99% of time), i ignore all non-BTB maps. Don't care whether they're good or bad, they don't exists as far as i'm concerned.
Haven looks nice but i never found it to be particularly interesting or fun map... Good? *shrug*, haven't played it enough.
Small maps and modes were fun in Halo 3, and in Reach when we had Squad Slayer.
