Halo |OT14| They call it Halo

Oh man, I think it's because I've been playing nothing but Spartan Ops for months but Team Doubles is so amazingly unbalanced right now. I've been carrying kids in all my matches.

I really think Obama's tax hike is a bad idea for cultivating business and stimulating a vibrant, diverse economy. Here's a bunch of monks slapping their balls on the ground.
 
If you want to find out what he thinks about life and politics, there are ways of finding out. If you don't care about it, you're in the majority.

It's kind of both. I'm always interested in what people's politics are for some reason, always great to hear new opinions. Though, at the same time, I really don't give a shit if it's not like mine (which is always right).

David, is the SpOps epilogue to Ep. 10 near the same length to Halo 4's Epilogue or perhaps more?
Will we grow worthy beards simply by watching it?

That's the worst attempt at eliciting a confirmation of an epilogue ever.

It's a good length.

Beautiful.

To offer a Davidge counterpoint:

"I'm really honored to be part of such a prestigious franchise and I'm going to try and go in my own direction with it a bit. I think my experience at... wait... shit, was it Knife Party? Maybe How to Destroy Angels? Shit. Guys, do you - guys, does anyone remember what I did before Halo 4?"

Thanks David :)
 
yeah circlejerk or gtfo.


Does MS have an event like Sony any time soon or is E3 gonna be their thing? Will Halo 5 be a launch title if it's next year?

You can stick around and not post like they've ripped your heart out of your chest. People literally post as if Halo was that girlfriend that just changed into something they didn't like. It's not Halo's fault it wanted AAs and Loadouts but they just sound clingy for wanting it to change for them.

We've all been that guy/gal in relatinships at some point. Halo doesn't have to be your love interest to stick around and post here politely.

You can move on from the past and embrace the future as nothing but friends.

He is conservative and tweets about it on his personal twitter.

Yea and some of the more liberal Halogaffers can't really stand it either. I myself being more middle of the road kind of guy have no issues with it.

Sweet. Can't wait. You guys certainly improved as the season went on. The only thing I didn't like at the start that I still hate now is that you have to have XBL gold for it. Other then that can't wait for tomorrow.

Thanks man, we definitely learned a lot as we went a long.

Regarding the LIVE thing. That's the way we were able to avoid charging outright for Spartan Ops. That portion of the game came via a separate P&L. I actually thought it was a good compromise, but understand your point.

Wonder what the odds are that Season 2 of Spartan Ops becomes sort of like ODST, with a physical release that includes all of Season 1.

Maybe even go so far as to throw H4 MP in there.

Channel some more Mass Effect vibe into future Halo levels pls. I like it.

I like spartan ops, I'm glad it is in the game firefight was good but this is even more fun than I expected. Playing on legendary is fun as well

Whatever as long as it has challenge, no unlimited lives and respawning.

I actually like part of the SpOps respawn system, in that you can choose where you want to spawn to assist teammates. What would be awesome is if you could play a variety of modes--perhaps baked into the difficulty, or even separate. One would be "Arcade"--SpOps with unlimited lives. One could be a shared pool of lives. One could be a sort of middle road--you start out with a limited number of lives, but could earn more by completing objectives or getting points; essentially use the ordnance meter in Ops. If you die, you lose that potential for resupply and gaining your team extra lives.


Real talk, that's actually my biggest regret for this season of SpOps.

Huge props for listening to feedback and making what changes and tweaks you could. You've gotten a lot of crap for Ops but I think I already enjoy it more than Firefight, and a push towards increasing the customization, metagame, and replay value would make it even more attractive. Extending the campaign in new ways is something I've wanted ever since completing the first game and agonizing over the wait for Halo 2 (that GOTY edition E3 2003 video and vido amped me up.)

I was looking over the Team Throwdown settings and I was surprised by the "Deluxe" variant. It seems so different in comparison to the v2 settings. I'm not a fan of it at the moment.

That is an amazing idea I wish it was in the game now

seriously. i enjoy spops, but limited lives AND scoring would take it so much further.

I don't even enjoy it much due to lack of challenge... playing because... well, dunno really why... I loved the concept but the execution... Story is kinda meh, i mean the in-game one. CGI's are better, minus Palmer.
To be honest, i've yet to play E06 onward, don't have Gold currently. Heard it is better, true? CGIs were good as ever. EDIT it would be much better in co-op but unfortunately the netcode ruins that for me.

Would love to see old Halo missions remade in SpOps. Or parts of them. Like the beginning of Delta Halo or... well, there are bunch of good sections in nearly all Halos.

Also, probably shouldn't drink Mountain Dew. Makes me feel sick at times. Not good, i reckon. Wonder what's in it.

Real talk, that's actually my biggest regret for this season of SpOps.

I wonder, have you had much feedback regarding this? SpOps S02 would be instant buy if it were as challenging as the campaign at least, preferrably more so because i found the campaign to be far too easy even on Legendary.
