Those games are not intense graphically. Have you tried to run them on your laptop?

He heard your beard rustlin.
Going back to BF3 has made me happy. Not only because of the fact that people can't turn invisible on a dime, but because of dedicated servers.
Halo is MS'sonly best IP that's exclusive to the Xbox. They should spend the extra cash to get some dedicated servers up and running for Halo 5... Especially if 343i want to keep going with this JiP crap. P2P makes me want to rip my hair out.

Shit, we can't even get shit that was in the old games in the game and you want NEW shit?
I can play SC on my 2008 MBP with a 8600M GT. Anything newer should be able to play it at solid frame rates.

Side note. I think Halo needs to take a matchmaking cue from COD. I've noticed I'm getting matched up against a bunch of guys with STL in the gamertags and in their clan tags (I'm in the St. Louis area). This never happens in Halo, in fact, far too often it's someone from Mexico or all over the fucking place.
Halo needs more weighting to locality in their matchmaking.

I know fuck all about computer specs but I do know that my Acer is running this. My laptop has like an 8hr battery life so I don't think performance has always been the priority. It struggles to run AOEII and most flash games for reference
I played LoL with Zeouterlimits once. I think I maxed out at 7fps, no joke.
I think someone posted it earlier, but BSAngel said that they had bumped up the locality weighting recently. Maybe not enough though.

Ewww he plays LoL?
Lolz
But yea if you couldn't run LoL you probably couldnt run Dota or SC2

More than likely not enough. I seem to get people from STL in at least every other match. I can't remember a single time playing Halo that's happened.
Edit: Look at this, two guys in this game alone with STL in their tags. Also, just went 40-3 and made the other team rage quit without even waping them with killstreaks. My rifle is a WMD.

Yeah, like I said, I need a gaming rig
Can't say I've seen too much of DOTA at all though. I just think that trio of games is doing some pretty cool stuff for esports and whatnot.Was watching a bit of Fyrewulff's stream of COD last night. Talk about a game which clearly lets you know how many games you need to play to get ranked. All the super quick kills were a bit hectic but at least it's giving it a good stab.
Also, I think the comparison with investment systems in the latest COD and Halo titles is an interesting one. I think the sheer abundance of weapons in COD really lets the player slot into their zone so to speak. There could be 50 weapons we could lump into the same role but having different clip sizes, ROFs, recoil and whatnot makes it seem as though the player can really fine tune their gameplay with a weapon that supports them. I think in Halo, the choices are perhaps greater. The sandbox is varied yes, but I dunno, maybe the roles are 'too' distinct? Perhaps that is nonsense :lol
I brought this up awhile back about the awesome Black Ops 2 commercial, I finally came across it today. This is how you do a commercial.

If you go on the elite website it will tell you how long (estimate in hours) until you hit prestige too.
Yep, excellent, not pretentious and gets the job done.
fascinating.

I'm not willing to make the leap yet, but losing a lot wouldn't scare me off the game as long as I had fun people to play with.
I will keep watching DotA if you keep streaming it.
No....THIS is how you do a commercial

Roche, I'll probably be streaming it tonight. Will hopefully have a good group to run with.

My favorite moment from last night's stream:
Somebody: "Trasher's awareness is about as good as Tashi's"
Tashi: "So, really really good?".
Everyone else: <laughter>
Kinda off topic... I still haven't even finished Far Cry 3 and I've had it since release.
It's kinda depressing when I think about it. It's like I am losing interest to games as I'm getting older. After Halo 3 was released, I was sooo excited for a sequel. Every day I'd get home and look at Bungie's website for an announcement (for like a day there I thought ODST was it). Now that we've got it however, I just don't care. Pretty much the same with other games too... They don't excite me at all.
I could sit here and talk about any of the mainline Halo campaigns as being the greatest in the series but when it comes to playing them nowadays I'm bored after like 10 minutes. I'd much rather read a book about Halo than to actually play through Halo. I'd even rather talk about the artstyle of a game than to experience it by playing.
Growing up sucks.

That ad makes me want to light my xbox on fire.
I was messing around with Black Ops 2's features.
From what I understand, you can live stream in HD for free and capture clips and render them on Youtube in HD for free. There is also a "montage maker", which skips to all notable actions in a film. And then you can go back over a film and add commentary.
I can't even begin to elaborate how salty I am about stuff like this. Kudos, Treyarch.

Where is my zero bloom SWAT in reach frank?
Ya, since I'm new, I'm the fucking recipient of all jokes. It's ok though because I know I suck because I'm new and not because I'm unable to play the game. Won't be long before I'm as good as those nerds.
Bang!
For a while I honestly thought you had gotten capture equipment or something.
I just can't believe Halo doesn't have something like this. Instead, we're taking pics of TVs with cell phones.

What's the point in having a feature to stream and make montages when you can't even get an accurate killcam to show up in game as it is?

Best banned commercial.
This game needed a few more months of dev time.
or more outsourcing.
You just gave Cyren a boner
I already knew that

If anybody wants caps clip though worth hitting up Jazzy and I, we can edit in the game announcer medals too.

How much work is it to add the announcer voice afterwards?
You guys should have people submit films and tell you where in the film their top play is. Don't take any submissions without the time stamp in an email or some shit.
Adds about 5-10 minutes per clip to get it to look good and genuine. We could also take that time to fast forward/download the clips and get to that point, we just find it easier this way. I wish 343 would address this or at least say something is in the works. All we can do is pray for the mega save halo patch in 2013.
Speaking of which, if anybody got a clip feel free to submit.

Treyarch is a much bigger studio than Certain Affinity. Stop expecting AAA production value from a DLC studio.
Maybe they shouldn't pawn off a decent size of the game to a smaller studio? Halo isn't exactly a small franchise.
Tashi pls
Don't know how adding it afterwards is faster when it takes 5-10 min per. Do you though. And don't get your hopes up, I seriously doubt we'll see that fixed for a good while.
child please
Was looking up some Halo facts and stuff earlier and came across that:
- Halo 2 Development team - 60
- Halo 3 Development team - 120
- Halo Reach Development team - ???
- Halo 4 Development team - 300? + Certain Affinity + Digital Extremes + Axis
Now I want to watch the Making of Halo 2 and O Brave New World.
Yea I know, started making my Halo 5 wishlist:/

I think I'll replay the Halo 3 campaign when I go home for break. I finished H4 legendary today. Overall, it is a decent campaign but when I think back to the other campaigns, the feeling just isn't there for 4. The achievement whore in me will make me finish up the last of them and then I think I'm done with H4
Sometimes Bungie gets undesreved hate. They pulled miracles with these numbers compared to h4. They did halo 3 beta with that number. Think about it.
