Wow, thanks for the offer dude. I'll have to seriously consider it.

That's real nice of you.

Yes it was nice of him. Very nice.

However, if you think for one second we were going to let you go without a copy of Halo 4 for any extended period of time, you're insane.

I would rob a gamestop for you Dani. I would walk 500 miles... and I would walk 500 more. Just to be the man that walks a thousand miles to bring Halo 4 to your door.


DA DA DAAA DA DA DAAA DA DA DAAA DA DA DAAAAAAA

WOWOWOWOOOOO HURRICANE PARTYYY!! WOOOO!!!

rockets spawn in the bottom of the ridiculous canyon, sniper spawns in the canyon behind the giant hill. getting those is the only reason to leave the giant hill/hallway area of the map

Ah okay good to know, but I hope I never have to play on it again.

As is Unconquered. Just terrible design and no flow whatsoever. Worse still? Ellul (also wins the prize for worst name).

Imago, as a map, I actually really like, but the spawns are so completely broken to the point of removing any potential fun in most games.

Don't even get me started on big team maps..........

Is Ellul the map with the grav lifts ? They never work properly and yes Unconquered is also really bad.

Yeah Imago is one of the better maps together with synapse.

lol Big Team .. Asphalt brr, CRAGMIRE

I don't usually like to hop in on the arguing over "OMG no visible skill is going to ruin the game" etc conversations, hence why my post count is rather low.



Speaking of which Barlow, you going to be playing tonight?

Maybe later on tonight around 10 Eastern.

So it does. Just play it and hate it, then you don't need to think of it ever again.
No pain, no gain.

No idea what's the gain though.

I have three stages: 1) Thinking about playing Reach 2) Reminded of all the "wonderful" moments I had with the game and 3) I "accidentally" try to break my arm preventing me from playing.

I've come close to stage 3 about four times. So, in short Reach equals more emotional and physical pain for me.

2fort all day? Count me in. Maybe.

Also anyone know of any forge communities I might be missing for the Forge OT?

Forgehub [FH]
XForgery [XF]
Blueprint [BP]
Waypoint [WP]
The Halo Council [THC]
ReachingPerfection [RP]
Forge Cafe [FC]
MLG Forge Forum [MLGFF]

GrifballHUB Halo 4 Grifball Map forum for Grifball maps. I assume there will be slightly more traffic there now that Grifball is an official variant.

Imago doesn't really have a middle area so it's pretty much a map divided by a wall in the middle. Not a fan.

Synapse is pretty much a bad version of Onslaught. One with less cover and a lot more open space which results in a lot more bad spawns. There's no no reason to push up into the enemy's side of the map.

Halogaffers that legitimately can't afford to spend money on Halo 4 at launch need to step forward so we can take care of that. So it's not awkward for them they can just pay back to the community in some random way when things are less tight down the line.

There is a problem with Halo 4's marketing when I'm seeing Black Ops 2 commercials instead of Halo 4 commercials on tv. I don't think I've seen more than 10 Halo commercials on Dutch television on my life. In the meanwhile, BF3 and CoD commercials were spammed to death.

What is this 2fort?
Click to expand...

Its basically a long hallway - random weapons - pretty fun for the antics that happen.

But it lasts half an hour.

And its Reach

half an hour of Reach.

I have bolded the worst parts of it.

Its also just worse than playing normal Fiesta Slayer because the hallway distils the gameplay into very specific encounters that have happened about 100 times in the first 5 minutes of that 30 minute slog.

Basically dont trust Elzars lies - he is going to make you play Reach for 30 mins - thats terrible.

Also you forgot about the teleporter entrance trapped with mines, also 2 banshees,2 ghost, 4 hogs, 4 mongooses and two wraiths.

Also overshield and Camo, and the fact it's ctf. I will not have you misrepresenting our beloved 2forts.

It has the Barlow seal of approval!

So, who said "forever goodbye" to Halo Reach? You should do this soon
or throw it into the garbage, where it belongs. :lol

Just wanted to thank 343i again for everything, especially for taking over the Halo series and for not showing us complete missions of campaign and SpOps levels. I really appreciate this.

Halo 4 in 4-8 days. Hype!!!

Its a long narrow corridor with 2 banshees, 2 ghosts, 4 hogs, 4 mongooses and two wraiths.

Terrible.

I will make you play 'Court' in Halo 4 in revenge. I can give you a preview of what 'Court' entails if you want to play a Halo 3 custom sometime.

Oh and Homeboyd right now it looks like the only thing I need for the Forge OT is graphics. Wahrer offered to help if he gets his desktop, but right now nilla is offering to help out as well.

I plan on using my HD PVR to do full videos of custom game settings, forge palettes, etc. More technical resources once the game comes out. And if nobody does gametype guides then I'll probably tackle that myself as well.

I remember like the day the game came out some guy posted a video of him literally like smashing the game - going out of his way to destroy it and smash up anything halo related he owned.

I tried finding that video to post as a response to this post lol.

I wonder why they gave us that 2 second glimpse at nothing. Must be a Terminal egg hidden there somewhere.

Reach will get a proper send off. I'll play it all I can the Sunday before H4 launch. It shall be glorious.

My final thanks, Bungie. For everything.
