CAN'T WAIT!


I wish they had printed those differently, it really hurt my neck to read those.
 
The "new halo hype" is really starting to get to me. Even with all my reservations, I'm starting to get that feeling that I've gotten every few years.

Although Borderlands 2 is still keeping me going, and probably will for the next couple weeks. I was going to get RE6, but the demo was atrocious.

Actually it was worse, and they fixed some of the big issues.

Just got back from Eurogamer with 3-4 games worth of footage. In the process of rendering and uploading.

It was funny because i refused to play infection. Plus the input lag on the TV screens was horrific.

I've seen worse than this input lag but it was there.

What games did you play? Maybe we played together?

Weared a gray HaloGaf shirt.

What happens if you refuse? Do they change the gametype? Would be idea if they separated the players who want slayer and the ones who want infection
 
Hi, I haven't lurked halo gaf for awhile.

Sorry if this has already been asked but has anything been said about a ranking system similar to halo2/3? I looked around and couldn't find anything, but you guys seem to get inside info
 
This is it.

This is the saddest post.

LOL I'm seriously tearing irl...

Everything in that moment was magical for me, so thank you. Thank you for that.

Don't worry, its just because we still don't know and its kinda ridiculous. But Frankie did say there would be some sort of competitive ranking system, thats all we know.

This and is it just me or does it seem as though there was deliberate mention of "competitive ranking" a few times recently by 343?

My Samsung I bought in June has game mode and works perfectly without reducing picture quality much at all.

Yup. Just a matter of switching modes.

Also, I just had a mini nightmare of me sitting down to play Halo 4 at NYCC for the first time and having to play Infection. I would be crushed. Infinity Slayer please!

I have a Samsung and LG, I recommend turning game mode off anyway, furthermore, if you're really into it, visit AV forums and go into the service menu to disable a lot of the fluff that tv manufacturers think is good.

Done it with both of mine. Good results.

Samsungs have that Auto Motion plus or Game mode shit. I'm sure that was why there was input lag.

Oh right. I'm pretty sure I've got mine running with all the extra stuff turned off, and also in PC mode which has the lowest lag possible. Still, I bet my TV has more than others. Good to know though, I did even think about the Auto Motion and stuff that is probably turned on with those sets.

Love that forum. I'll have to check them out and see if I can make it even quicker. I'm always afraid I'll bork something in the service menu though so I've stayed out.

I would be so irritated if that happened. I'm bidding on passes on ebay right now. I must play this game.

Sorry, it's just this is one thing we have no insight into. Frankie said that they would talk about it closer to launch.

We will have a Halo 3 Ranking system but you can only level it up in the Infection playlist.

Every Level Emblem is a different flood form symbol and as you level up, your MP Spartan will become more and more flood like. Once you reach level 50, you're full flood and people will know you're a 50.

Hey Tashi, if you get to, use Jetpack and rate it's power on a scale of 1-Reach and then report back.

Also I'm on if anyone wants to play Reach/3/BL2.
 
Ragnarok is an event. Maps are usually named as a place Ex: Valhalla, Beaver Creek or an action the map causes ex: Lockout, Standoff. I get they are sticking with the Norse mythology theme when naming that one but it doesnt really work too well in that regard...

I dunno.
Death of Halo.

Norman Reedus is coming to the comicon in Austin a couple of months from now with the other guys from Boondock Saints. Gonna be awesome.

Apparently it's still pretty good, guy at eurogamer was using it to fly straight up, apparently people couldn't track him that fast so he was getting easy kills out of it.

That could be down to him playing crap people/ input lag/ crappy vertical sensitivity - who knows.

This is something Ive been working on for fun today,
Im trying to come up with a Fun and functional "Achievement Hunter" playlist for Reach.

But, I have a quick question, can you force Elites only in CTF?

If yall feel like giving it a peek, this is what I came up with (Word Skydrive link)

Like I said, mostly just for fun.
But Id appreciate any comments or feedback

Look, you're welcome to form your own conclusions. You're a grown man. I'm just telling you that the framerate present in that video is not representative of that mission on any of the dozens of times I've played it.

Someone should check out Frank's gameplay performance cause I was seeing frame skips during the Q&A.

I'm not here to defend David (you know that me and my team aren't pretty gentle with Bungie and now 343 Industries), but he's right. After played this mission maybe 2 or 3 times, the framerate was excellent, and yet, I was playing on a full high definition TV with more than 120ms.

They got Tashi! Who will stand for classic?

Hey now, I am always open to the new changes that come with each Halo game. More open than a lot of nerds in here, especially considering I play more, "classic" stuff than they do. :p

K. I fully intend on trying to break the game when I sit to play. Find jumps, ledges, button glitches. Everything. All while beating up on the other team.

edit: :lol oh shit Royal Flush! Bahahahahaahah
