God, the Le Mans 24 Hours is the greatest damn race on the planet. Spectacular looking cars, top manufacturers, constant passing and on-track battles, no stopping for weather, day and night... so damn good.

Best racing.


Is Rally Racing.

It's the only racing I can stand to watch.

Just got about 20 Sniper kills while sitting in the side seat of a Warthog on Timberland.

Lol nice.
Was the 'Hog moving?
Does sitting on the passenger seat confer aim-assist bonus? At least on Revenant it does, or did, was that fixed?

 

[Karl2177]

Haha how'd that happen?

I took a capture of the ESPN Viral stuff if anyone can't see it (or in case they change it).

As it's YouTube you can freeze frame so it's a bit easier to see what's going on compared to the live ESPN site.

There's an HBO thread and an HBO ARG forum thread for those who are interested in tackling the ESPN stuff.

That's no glitch, that's The Power of Over.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Hitting the road shortly. I'll be away from the Xbox and mostly off the internets for about three weeks. Happy trails, GAF. Don't blow up the place while I'm out, okay?

But that's what we do.

You can count on explosions.

Have fun!

Ignore list is weak sauce, this is the internet.

Yeah, I don't have anyone on ignore. I'll hear all the voices, even if I don't like them.

 

[Der Flatulator]

No... It's a glitch. The sniper rifle has a ridiculous amount of bullet magnetism (equal to the magnetism of Warthog chaingun rounds) when fired from the passenger seat of a Warthog or Revenant.

You guys think the Xbox 720 leak is legit? If so, 1080p + Blu-Ray, yes.

Wonder if 343 is going to do a reveal of the Didact before launch because that is one thing I want to not see before I play the game.

I didn't think that worked with the warthog bro.

I'm wondering how they will explain him to those who only play the games.

I've got a no-scope overkill (1 clip) from Warthog passenger seat whilst being naded and DMR spammed. I'm horrible at Halo. It's a glitch.

It does.

They will keep showing crypt, but won't reveal how he looks.

Well there will be a video telling us events in the Halo Universe before we play the game and the fact that Cortana said "We know where HE is going" makes me think when they found the Cryptum she got a full back story on the Didact as well.

 

[The Real Napsta]

It does.

Wow, I had no idea. Does it work as well as the revenant glitch?

 

[ElzarTheBam]

I reckon in Ghaleon's absence, Squidhand should lead HaloGaf. I mean, what's the worst that could happen...

Just because I feel really lazy and because I don't want to attempt to deal with people in MM; What are the standard winning requirements for the following gametypes in a 4v4 scenario:

Oddball
Assault
CTF
KOTH
Territories

 

[Der Flatulator]

It does.

Fairly sure it's all passenger seats, but I've never tried it on a mongoose I think.

Wow, I had no idea. Does it work as well as the revenant glitch?

Same glitch. The game thinks you're gunning a vehicle, so magnetism is increased.

 

[Overdoziz]

Pretty much.

Formula One > Le Mans

Both are awesome though.

Formula One = Le Mans = Rally Racing = MotoGP

All are awesome.

Spoiler

I watch every second of F1 but i am easy to please when it comes to motorsports. I'll even watch 4 or 5 NASCAR races per season, INDY if it happens to be on, and the always amazing V8 Supercars (coming to USA next year)

I looked through the doc last night. Sounds good if true.

I know they talk about everything being in the cloud, including games later, but a feature I'm really hoping for with the 720 is same day digital download for all full retail games.

 

[Trey]

There is no empirical greatness in Super Metroid, no game is objectively better than another.

Wouldn't sports games be objectively better than their older iterations?

 

[daedalius]

So, random streamed Reach Tourney?

These guys aren't bad.

 

[Spawnling]

Read through a bunch of pages in that document as it's a top trend on twitter right now. I still think it's fake. Microsoft wouldn't leak those things on the interwebs until they're ready to announce something big.

never saw the draw of digital download. takes up space and you can't get rid of it if you don't like it.

You also can't let friends borrow it (which could be a plus for some people lol)

Thank you very much. I'm assuming these are the same for H3 as well?

Well lots of things leak from MS, doesn't mean they mean for them to leak. Not saying that I think for sure it's real, just that it's possible.

I have Reach GoD on my 360. It's so nice to not have to put a disc in, just launch from quickplay at any time. And then you never spin the DVD drive for games either. I love it, but I can understand why some want the physical disc. The physical disc will never go away though, as it would be a massive retail lobbying issue if they tried to go fully digital.

Quick Prometheus HaloGAF advice (I'm afraid to enter any threads for it and get hit with epic spoilers):

Do you recommend seeing it in 3D?

I'm not sure, I don't know what to be looking for, but either way that is obviously the direction MS is going with the Xbox. The whole PC/Phone/Xbox Integration is nice.
I do like the 'always on' idea, like a PVR, this opens up the possibility of controlling your Xbox from the internet/cloud.
e.g: Hear about cool game. Open Xbox app on phone, click download, get home, Xbox has already downloaded.

Couple friends of mine saw it in 3D. They said outside of a few scenes, it was nothing to write home about. Plus apparently seeing it in 3D can trigger...reactions.

The virtual reality glasses are what gives me chills. From the basic things like navigating menus with your eyes, to the more advanced opportunities in games gets me pumped.

[FyreWulff]

Still waiting for it to be less than getting an entire new disc at retail to grab Reach GonD.

Although it'd be nice if they ever made Halo 2 available via Games on Demand (who knows why it still isn't there), would be cool to have every Halo launchable from the dashboard.


edit: We're also still missing ODST for some reason.

This should work, its VOD from like last night I think

http://www.twitch.tv/crosscounterasia/b/321634540

people all over the world were watching according to them, considering we don't have anywhere else to watch streamed tournaments, it doesn't surprise me, haha.

Zerobloom/higher movementspeed/higher jumps is actually pretty enjoyable to watch. I remember watching some tournaments when it was still 100% bloom; ugh.

 

[Fracas]

I'm still debating on whether to see it. For some reason, I feel incredibly awkward watching R rated movies in theaters. Just feels weird, watching content like that in a room with 40 strangers.
