In Halo 3
"Cortana" keeps talking to your head showing signs of rampancy but when you really get her she doesnt act like that.

I don't know what that has to do with what I'm saying.
I'm talking about two different "voices", one of Cortana and another of the supposed Geas.

I wonder who it could be. I'm guessing
Chakas, considering the relationship with 343. No doubt we'll be seeing him again.

Once my Internet is back, we'll be throwing together a nice little goodbye homepage. Hopefully with a sentimental recording with the admins.

The theories stated aren't convincing to me (Cryptum Spoiler)
I have quoted what Greg Bear said on the issue in my previous post about unmixed DNA strains. I really can't see how or who would have imprinted Master Chief with a Geas and for what purpose.

Yeah, to a point. Your idea doesn't seem strictly specific to HaloGAF, though, so I'm not worried.

We never really got a formal explanation on Reach's
Tribunal system within the Data Pads that seemed to have guided humanity's progress as a species
... maybe they have something to do with it.

Also of note, it was really obvious when Fracas invited me to the Xbox game. I went from loading the map in about 4 seconds (SSD) to 20 or so because it had to wait for everyone on console to load.

It also wouldn't give me the Brother From Another Mother achievement :(

edit: well shit, technically it should have given me like 2 or 3 for cross-platform stuff.

From what little I have heard its a ongoing way to balance the game. Some kind of continuous way for them to receive game feed back, data, balance the sandbox, and stop cheaters. I'm not sure if its like a web site or what. They have only vaguely mentioned it.

Sad, but more than likely true.

I don't really expect anything important to be shown between now and release.

And a related question: If anyone gets a copy early, can a separate thread be made for campaign spoilers? I'd really like to keep that stuff out of here.

I doubt enough people will get it early to warrant a new thread. And if you really want to avoid spoilers, bailing out of the thread at the first sign of legit leaks is the best option. :-\

Agree to this, the amount of speculation and spoilers can be a CALAMITY! :p

Also, I was wondering if HaloGAF is going to be more involved to be playing Campaign, SpOps, and War Games?

I think in the April spark cast. I guess it will be a web site. It will also provide pretty much stat and data overload for the player as well. They want to give players statistical data advantage. Kinda like when pro sports player's watch old games and try to see how they can improve. Its data that is AA and weapon and play style specific to help you pick the best combo's sounds cool.

I kind of wish I skipped the MS Conference demo, it would have been insane, seeing the watcher throwing my grenade back at me.

You are crazy, sir.
Although if anyone wants to do midnight launch customs, I'd be totally down with that. Some crazy shit would come out of no one knowing the weapons/maps/mechanics.

I dunno, I don't really see this as an issue. I'd love to see a diversity of creative projects popping up from the community. The more the merrier. I'd also encourage people to hop on board already existing projects if collaboration makes sense. Sometimes reinventing the wheel results in innovation and awesomeness. Sometimes it's just redundant.

I don't feel like I'm quite able to articulate what I want to say, but ah well.
Click to expand...

And I think HaloGAF has. Many have shown interest in being on the show and I've been slowly going through the list and getting people on.

Went rummaging through my closet earlier to find DVDs to watch to tonight since the cable is out, and found my Halo 2 disc.

Oops.

Long night ahead I guess.

Random boring and coincidental fact: Halo 2 is the only Halo game I haven't beaten on Legendary.

Fix that with H2A plz 343

There's no way Halo 2 Anniversary isn't a thing.

Lol but seriously, fuck Halo 2 on Legendary. I burned through on Heroic and called it a day.

Here's hoping Halo 4 Legendary is difficult in a good way, not arbitrarily like Halo 2 (IMO).
I actually quite enjoyed my solo run of Reach on Legendary. It's tough, but not in the "run 2 steps, get sniped by a jackal" way.

I refuse to believe somebody walked down those various Legendary sniper alleyways about 20 fuckin' times getting hit in the head immediately and thought, "Yeah, this works. SHIP IT!"

Yup, I've yet to beat H2 on Legendary on either platform. Fuck jackal snipers and fuck the opening brute room on Gravemind

That's about the only reason why I didn't finish the game on legendary.
Jackal snipers can go fuck themselves.

Dat sniper alley.

Actually it's not that bad as long as you remember to always peek out the other side of your cover to take your next shot.

So get to cover, shoot from left side ONCE then change to other right side and shoot ONCE then repeat going back to left, right, left, right.

You're able to get a single shot off every time against the Jackal snipers this way. Also do not take the vehicles, they are certain death on legendary against Jackal snipers.

I am not. Oh kinda. I am thinking if you can vote, you should. It is a privilege not everyone has in the world, and you should use the opportunity.

m0nkey and Dopey were theorizing of
Master Chief having a Geas, which is true. Check Terminal 1 of CEA, 343GS states it. Most likely the Geas is from Chakas or Riser.
Click to expand...
Totally not
Chakas. Because he is Guilty Spark. And if it were Riser, would Guilty Spark not react completely different in the Terminals? :)

If ever there were going to be a different build shown or new info revealed, it'd be at PAX.

if we don't get new stuff there...I think we're going to be SOL 'til november.
