Halo |OT3| Remember Reach?

Its fine, im looking for accomodation here and saw an advert for a flat with 5 chicks who are desperate for a roommate.

They better not be old.

This reminds me of a funny very true story involving prostitues down in Manchester, I'll tell you when you get back.

Also, who's up for halo tonight?

A bit better than Reach is still very far from the quality I'm looking for in a Halo game. But maybe I'm at a batshit level of expectation too.

oh no doubt about it, I wan't the best Halo game ever created with H4, but my thinking right now, is without any MP gameplays around and just a couple gifs of the br and sprinting i'm not going to worry about it until i get some concrete evidence of it being shit...I just want to have fun playing Halo again

You expect 343 and others to listen to serious concerns when presented in that manner? Think about it.

Halo devs have heard concerns presented in all manners and never listen, much less adjust the games accordingly. Cynicism gets the same response as politeness: condescending reassurance.

I like to think its like the Time war locked in time and forever repeating.
 
Thanks for the correction, I thought I'd read something health related. Not sure that's any better, as that affect combat pacing; I don't want some dude to get his shields back faster than I do, even if he's taken a trade off to get there. Those types of (not sure what else to call them) perks (abilities?) are probably what I'm most nervous about. Hopefully we get some clarity around E3 time; I just want to know what their boundry conditions are. Personally, I would draw the line at base traits such as movement, jump, health, shield recharge time, etc. Extra grenade, or ammo clip? Sure.

I think you're thinking about regeneration. Something was said about regeneration (not sure if it was shield or health).

BF3's recent update and Reach's playlists have killed my desire to play either. :(
Even though the M26 glitch is annoying and the server browser kinda sucks, I thought the update fixed more problems than it created overall

BF3 has alot of problems but its good. Not sure i have the highs i get when playing halo but i certainly dont get the lows i do from reach
For me, nothing beats a good game of rush. BF3 has some of the exhilarating moments in gaming. Like this weekend, I was playing with some guys, we were playing rush on kharg island. 1 m-com left in the last stage, my squad single handedly defended that thing, with enemy helis and tanks obliterating everything around us. Soooo good.
 
What's your reasoning? Mine is that I absolutely hate what they've done with servers and getting into match, and vehicles seem super wimpy now.

Those reasons, as well as the feel of shooting changed a bit, and I don't like it. It's entirely possible that I just need to get used to it though as I truly haven't played it much since the patch. The servers are really annoying now though.

I love Rush. Loads of fun and intense experiences.

I'd agree about the fixes, but the servers and getting into games really killed it for me. I hate playing on people's servers unsure of settings. I just want normal settings all the time and to be put into full matches.

Most vehicles are crap now.

Supression is ridiculous. Someone shoots one bullet in your direction and you're immediately blind. Everyone just prones on a corner and take advantage of the super powerful supression.

And they OP'd some really stupid weapons. Now people just roll with that 870 shotgun, the M26 dart and as val(i think that's the name).



Just awful, can't have fun with that.
 
And people call me the king of hyperbole. I'm not saying I'm a martyr or a bastion of intelligence, but way too many people are content to say "I hope it's good" or "stop complaining" than actually express their opinion. If people don't get that vibe, I dunno what to say.
Opinion of what, exactly? We've seen a couple of clips out of context on a game that's not even finished, and "journalist" articles that were so shitty that 343 had to do a podcast to help people from freaking the fuck out about the new additions to the series. What we know so far is that the BR has recoil and the DMR has a locked firing rate and bloom is apparently gone. I'm actually with you on the recoil in that's it's mostly unnecessary for a mid-long range rifle, but for now I'm fairly impartial to it's inclusion until I play the game. Not sure what a more 'elegant' solution would be to limit it's role in the hitscan sandbox, considering it's range is already limited compared to the DMR (I think that's the case, not sure).

Same here. I don't like the idea of giving people a leg up that's not obvious to their opponents; another reason why AA's in Reach are mostly shit.

More enlightenment can't come soon enough.

Ah awesome, sounds good.

Everyone here wants someone to rent immediatly with a long time lease which sucks, I kind of want to get a short term thing but not really move till winter. Damn these people. Dream of living with 5 uni students down the drain.

I must be misunderstanding something. The only thing Squid said was "not quite." Nothing about regeneration.

Read the rest of his post. He said "Not quite...", with the elipses. Elipses which lead to the quote below, adding the correction about regeneration, citing that correction as a way to respond to me. Which I then responded to.

Also, Obama came out in full support of gay marriage today. Great day. I hope my own marraige can withstand the onslaught of teh gay.

Whoops. I missed that. My apologies.

Yes.

I feel bad for the Bioshock Infinite fans, but it seems like the right choice for that franchise. They will own the first part of that year and if the dev team can add more content/features then so much the better.

Even with the delay, the holiday season is going to be nuts for the games industry. Records will be broken. Wallets will evaporate. A third thing will happen for rhetorical reasons.

So, white knights are ok if they are on your side and are keeping it real? Haha :p

I like the title. Anyone want to White Knight (maybe Dark Knight would be more appropriate) some Team Objective? I wanna see this win bonus in action.

Then marriage is already dead. Once gays marry the very fabric of the man-woman marriage continuum will break, causing record divorce rates leading to abandoned children who will turn to a life of crime and will probably be gay too.

Such is life in Obamaville.

He's not being a white knight, he gets it in a sea of people who don't. I appreciate that. All I know is if the framerate stumbles or recoil is annoying or the maps are shitty, I am going to be drinking salty tears on a nearly biblical level come November.

It's about damned time. Still sick to my stomach about the NC bullshit and feel sorry for the intelligent humans that are clearly outnumbered there.

Start building that boat and collecting animals now.

Whose? Your own? I'd probably just be having fun playing the game.

Halo vs COD.
Vita vs survival.
WiiU launch.
All leading to super exciting NPDs, I can't wait!


Is it worth reading? I try not to give clicks to dumb articles that just try to build off hype.
