Halo |OT9| One Final Effort Is All That Remains

Thanks. Game will have a huge variety of starting weapons, everyone should be able to find something they like. I hope the 4 main Rifles (BR/DMR/Carb/LR) are well balanced against each other so we don't see everyone going to the same one after a couple of days. Won't miss the days of people vetoing/voting in favor of an awful map because of the starting weapon.
Im sure they are balanced but not on long range. DMR>BR on long range
BR>DMR on close range
 
Bad news HaloGAF, I'm officially canceling my flight to NYC for the launch party. Time to grow up and close on a house, etc. Maybe in a couple years!

Keep telling yourself that.

The DMR trumps the BR in every way.

Tell that to Domino.

AR looks like it might have a spot in one of my loadouts ;] and good point. I bet the playlists will be set up just like Gears of War with the game modes as the playlists and you vote for gametype then map. We already know CTF has its own playlists so maybe that's an indication:

CTF Playlist --> Get matched up --> Vote for Infinity/Classic --> Vote for map

Something like that.

Forever junior
Ha, today I wanted to make a pm to a mod to prove that I have become a better member and should get out of the junior zone. Problem is, I had to prove that I had become a better poster. Then I drew a blank, I had nothing. I am destined for juniorhood. 3 years and counting.

Suck though, if I ever into problems on these board I will be perma-banned.

I live life on the edge, bro.
 
when ordering online, how long before i receive the game? would i receive it in the morning or late afternoon?
thinking of pre-ordering from futureshop.

Depends on the courier service and the routes the assigned driver in your area takes. Usually the same time every day.
 
If that's the case i would be a 500 by now. I stopped counting at 30 maps in MM, including 2 or 3 maps with significant revisions. Not that anyone here has played on them, although.

So, lightmap baking as a placable Forge item... any other unofficial Forge news lately? (i went dark at the Campaign embargo lift but decided to drop in for a minute)

lol Grifball. :p

And I don't think the lightmap is an actual forge item, it is just generated every time any player goes from forge mode to player mode using a system probably related to light probes. lol... and damn is it fast. :)

General rule: the closer you are to the distribution center, the later in the day it'll be, since they work from the edges inward.

Where I live(d) in Omaha is 3 blocks from UPS. Stuff doesn't show up until like 5pm. Although I can live with that since we get Saturday deliveries for free.

It only took me two weeks in Vancouver before I hated Canada Post
 
Interesting that since its post E3 nerf, in not one bit of footage is someone using the Carbine. Hope it's still a viable weapon amongst the DMR and Light Rifle.

Something that I'm curious about is where you get ammo for your regular weapons since they no longer spawn on the map anymore. Say, for instance, you're on a Running Riot using just the Carbine; if none of the enemies you've slain happened to have the Carbine as their loadout is it impossible to replenish the ammo in it?

is their a chance that it will come a day late?
i want the limited edition but it is sold out everywhere

It could be any time from 8am~7pm. If you've ever had anything delivered to you via UPS/Fedex it will most likely come somewhere around the same time they did last time

Does anyone know if is anything for veteran halo gamers in Halo4? Like we use to have in Reach NAMEPLATES or past halo3 game in legacy .

I hope there'll be something. Preferably something small like the nameplate. Nothing to change gameplay, but something to make you stick out from the herd.

I haven't played a console FPS in several months.

I'm going to be rustier than the Titanic's rivets when the game releases.

I doubt that. Assuming Halo 4 feels familiar, your muscle memory will kick in very fast.
I can pick up many Halo games after long breaks without problems.
Now, thinking about Halo 4 in other game terms is going to be a bigger issue. I reckon i'll have played about a month of WoW by the time Halo 4 comes out, i'll probably wonder where my heals are and why the tank isn't doing his job.

It's interesting how I spent the entirety of PAX sleeping on a hotel room floor this year at 200$ a night, but I didn't go around stalking and making passive aggressive threats to the room host after the convention was over. Tell me how you really feel.

Karma.

Who is stalking & making threats towards you?

A lot of it seems to be sensitivity. I've played Reach several times after long stretches of only playing PC games. Nearly every time I would have to resort to using sensitivities that are twice as much or half of what I was using before! The setting I had upon starting again is never right.

Funny that I used to play on 3.

I may have mis-read. Thought it was placable.

Considering your friend who's cross you seem to bear was offered a bed and refused it, and I've only slept on a bed once in the 5 times I've been to Seattle in a hotel room, I'm not sure how karma plays into this. Mature people don't view sleeping on the floor of a softly carpeted air-conditioned hotel room as a wrong or punishment.

So once again, please explain to me how I've wronged you. Let it all out.
 
Sick! Nice catch nokyard. I've always had more confidence in Halo 4's Forge with 343 at the helm and those "little" additions. Most of the proper steps are being taken with this mo' fuckin game and I love it!

doesnt the lighting autmatically come in? once you stop editing the map and it renders

Yup. I wonder if we can place individual light sorces too and have them cast shadows.
