Considering you need Condemned Infection to come up, your only real hope is boosting.
Errgh.. would I be more likely to get it in Infection or DLC playlist?
Only place to find the Defiant Infections is the Infection playlist. The Anniversary ones have to be done in Anniv FFA.
That's his old GAF user name before he switched to OuterWorldVoice.
Mechs and 60FPS?!?
Those dudes must not have the limited resources of a wholly-owned developer of one of the wealthiest corporations in the world making the start of a trilogy of their biggest franchise, the franchise that saved the corporation's billion dollar foray in the video game market a decade ago.
I hate limited resources.

Holy shit at this Halo reach inspired speed painting!
It's from 2011, but I have never seen it before.

Reminds me a lot of the Delivering Hope trailer. Great stuff.

Yeah, I edited my post, you quoted it to make me look like a dumbass.
Why do you hate me OddOne? Why? : )
I hate because I love
In other news: nobody cares about Rare Ltd anymore, their project sounds cool.
I care about Rare. Nuts & Bolts and Viva Pinata were amazing and those weren't released very long ago. I still believe.

Oh how miss pre-Kinect Rare, specifically N64 era Rare.
People usually say rare went down hill after the MS acquisition, but I don't believe that. They have still made awesome games such as grabbed by the ghoulies, kameo, viva piñata and B&K nuts and bolts.
All incredibly polished and fun.
Although, perfect dark zero was pretty terrible.

Killer Instinct 3 or a Conker sequel is all I want from rare.
Is that asking too much?
Not after what Microsoft did to Live and Reloaded.
We need to get another achievement boosting lobby in the next couple of weeks.
I like Multiplayer achievements, just don't make them map specific. It's fun to work for achievements and change my play style.

oh god, i never really played live and reloaded...how can you screw up a remake...?
Don't even bring back any of the original multiplayer, cram in a pointless Van Hellsing reference that nobody will ever remember, censor the game harshly, ie bleeping words like "shit" which Nintendo left alone.

thats so sad. conker's bad fur day was great on the N64, I can't believe MS wouldnt censor words when Nintendo didn't care.
I'm done with this semester in 2 weeks. I only have the 1-flag achievement left. I'd be down for one.
I dunno how you can blame MS for that, but alas anything to make your claims viable. The censoring is MS fault though, ridiculous.
PGR it is then.

I had a friend from out of town over this weekend, so I'm just catching up now. One thing I noticed that I dont think anyone really talked about was that one of the pieces of concept art was for a MP map:
"halo4_environment-multiplayer-01.jpg"
Its not anything groundbreaking, but I still thought it was cool that we have a peak at a third MP map.
Anyways, onto catching up:
I still need to do this..

Man, I had almost thought I imagined some of those images.. what vidoc does that come from again? I love the stuff they were doing with the highways.ODST pre-release stuff had interesting gameplay designs built into them.
I would love that.. its a small, pointless little touch, but I still think it would be a cool one.. Also, I do think the blood should have a little more oomph, Im not talking gears, but if if you get a head shot it would be nice if there was a bit of a stronger spray or splatter.
You know, it looks a lot better there, but I still think the new DMR is lacking..The textures seem really plain, or simple.
I still need to do this..
and this.
This looks like a map where jetpacks will be abused to death
Well those bits were more Rare's decisions, and they at least had the cleverness to acknowledge the fact that the game was a port. It's too bad both verisons of the game came out when the console it was on was on it's way out..
N64 vs Xbox example
Microsoft and Sony are more censor-happy than Nintendo are. Notably, even though the game was pretty meh, the GameCube version of BMX XXX was the only uncensored one. There's other examples out there but that's a clear cut one.

The gameinformer caption was "Multiplayer characters will visit unusual new locations." I think it is more a concept art for Spartan Ops.This looks like a map where jetpacks will be abused to death

don't toy with my heart like that
it's amazing that you still bought reach after being in this forum. but still, it's an enjoyable game with friends!
I think it is supposed to show the interior of the Infinity, where they likely keep scraped Forerunner relics for further research.
It's been said the Infinity would shine through the spec ops missions.

The loadouts could be compared (though it will function differently in H4 from what I have read), I accept that.
Still won't play anything like COD.
Well this is my third time buying the game haha. At release day 1, had for oh 2-3 months? Got rid of it when I saw no fixes to AL were coming, and no news for playlists and no map packs yet.
Came back and bought it again cheap when both map packs were out. Played it again for 1-2 months there, but none of my friends were into it anymore, so I ditched it.
Rebuying it now due to H4 hype, the lack of shooter to play, and the need for a Halo fix. Also, seems the H4 hype is catching my buddies too, because they too were on Reach last week.
Either way I'll hold onto it till H4 this time as my go to shooter for this year.
It'd be cool if it was a loadout system like Counter Strike. One shot and hope everything works out instead of ignore default class and select n00btube or snipe class.
Unlocks. It's the most pathetic addition to Halo in a long time. The loadout system is a good second.
I prefer Halo 2 and 3 myself.
They come from the third and fourth ODST ViDocs. I'm not sure exactly which one has the highways or the rooftops. I just know in my critique article (that I never got around to finishing) I used images from 4 of the 5 ODST ViDocs.
Here's my micro-collection of images I was going to use if you're interested. I just went in and added descriptions for my thoughts on each image. Just click on the picture and you can read the description below it. You can then cycle through them if you click next at the top.

Waypoint's RSS (//halo.xbox.com/blogs/syndication.axd) is a mess... It should have featured content, and it has a terrible bug that completely skips <select> tags, not that there should be any in an RSS, as there is no JS to handle it...
What's going on with that thumb?Sample:
