Boobs came to me first, and then, eventually the face.

-5 points for capitalizing. Could've been a sick double burn.

I agree with this man.
oh man, good news before an 8 hour drive.
Do not drive over any bumps.
I'll do my best lol, wouldn't want to go flying off the road from a slightly different colored patch of dirt.
also enjoyed Wu's writeup, now if he'd only remember if the DMR has a 3x scope or not
still going to be going 100% BR myself though.If this was Halo 1, that'd mean he'd fly 2 miles into the air.
and his rig would be indestrucible
yep, slightly more damage resistant Reach vehicles in Halo 4 confirmed
I've been meaning to watch my bluray but the constant spamming of gifs in this thread turn me off. I feel like I've been spoiled of a lot of minor character development moments.

Did you really just spoil something on purpose?

If you were to send me your cat's petrified poop rolled up in a gay pride flag with racial epithets about Obama written all over it, it would still be better than the horror that is Reach's vehicle combat. Your quote is inspiring, sir.
You're spoiled, all right. Just not in the way you think. ;-)

Lol, if that's a spoiler I'm the king of Spain.

so while we're talking about BO2 (kinda) this still looks directly stolen from Halo 2
Lol nice to see you're feeling better by mocking people now

Just some random establishing shot. How in the world is that a spoiler?
My avatar is such a huge spoiler!

To be honest, all Halo is COD, COD is Halo jokes aside, the fact that it's in the future spikes my interest a bit in a series that was pretty much off my radar at this point.

That picture does look a bit like New Mombasa in Halo 2, but of course, completely different settings.
nah, that kind of gif doesn't really spoil a thing
And no big spoiler has been posted that I'm aware of, I was referring mostly to the ones that have facial expressions or reactions that show a side of character you are not meant to be exposed to in earlier episodes.
But I'm definitely not asking for people to stop posting those, it's my fault for taking so long to get on it.
edit-
I guess someone did spoil the iphone 4 moment, would've been cool to not know about that beforehand but oh well..

What did you originally post? Tell me!

I thought it was curious that there's a butterfly effect in GoT in terms of the adaption. One minor enough character dies in the first series but is still alive and well in the books. An interesting thing George noted during his audio commentary.
Halo 4; I'll buy it yeah.

The one thing about Halo 4 that I really just don't get is the modifications. Giving people what are essentially perks, and that appear to not be that much of a game changer from what I can tell, just seem pointless. Having a slightly faster shield recharge time or one extra grenade is not going to cause tons of new people to buy the game. It just messes up the balance. I don't have a problem with AAs as long as they aren't stupid like armor lock or evade, but the modifications thing seems like it could get annoying to deal with and really wasn't necessary to add.

not exactly Halo 2 but:
I think its just a thing to give people a little more control over their spartan...allow them to custom tailor their experience ever so slightly. While the changes that it gives aren't huge, I think allowing people to be able to control little aspects of the game like that will go a long way into hooking people into the player investment system as well the MP. Custom experience does sell very well, and when balanced can be very fun. 343 really, really needs to put out a "MP of Halo 4" video that really goes down the list, shows us how it works, details it, etc.

The bar was raised about as high as it could be for me, so I went into my viewing thinking there was no way it could live up to the hype. I was pleasantly surprised. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
My friend just linked me this and I was about to post it. He was on the other team and sent me a picture of the carnage report on whatsapp right after it happened. Truskill ftw.

Yeah I guess the site went up too early, cause I was able to access it before and now I get the same message.
I'm two episodes in, and I'm loving it. Never thought I would like this type of show, but its great so far. I want to watch the next episode right now but I want to pace myself.

Don't mind me, just trying something new.
I liked Skyrim Monkey
a real ranking system is vital to decent matchmaking in h4
this isnt fun for anyone

I'm trying to leave some stuff behind me. :lol Thought about going back to helmetless monkey, too, but I'm not sure. Def. not sticking to this one, either. I'll have to find something new.

They are so bored with the game (or at least the people they are being matched against), they're artificially creating a challenge for themselves. Pretty good.
1-50 should come back for competitive multi-player, at least in the MLG playlist. frankie pls

Just demonstrates how pointless Reach is, as an online game, to good players (these being the best players obviously). Without a ranking system and the strict skill matching and party restrictions that go with it, the majority of the playlists, including MLG, break down and cease to function in providing good challenging but not impossible games for the individual.
I played Reach for about three hours today and it may well have been the worst play time I've had with the game. Reasons:
- Terrible lag marred one game to the point I had to quit. I literally couldn't spawn.
- More latency than I've come to expect from Reach's netcode. Everyone's noticed how laggy the game's been recently. To the posters who say 'I'm happy as long as I can find a game' well, if that means bloodshots and headshots counting as bodyshots then I'd rather not play. The reason there's so much latency is because the population is low, so you definitely DO want Halo 4 to sell well and be good enough to retain a high population more than a year after release.
- Stomped on players one game, be stomped on the next. Soooooooo, whenever I saw a full team of AST clan or inheritors in the pre-game lobby I dashboarded so as to get a playable game. This happened three or four times.
- In a lobby where a player can't load maps 'Player failed to load content'. Now, usually, it boots the player who can't load maps after a few rounds of voting. This time however, it just froze while trying to load forgeworld. Stayed like that for five minutes. Had to dashboard.
- Fucking 'You have left too many games recently' message pops up MID-GAME, completely stopping my game until I press A. This was after not quitting three or so games, so plenty of opportunity to tell me in the lobby. IT HAPPENS AGAIN MID-GAME DURING A SNIPE BATTLE. YES I'M AWARE I'M ON PROBATION.
- Voting. The execrable Hemorrhage wins by one vote. I get about 5 kills in and quit, fuck it, life's too short. Quit banned.
Hahahahahaha, what you think I'm gonna sit in a corner and think about what I've done and come back with my tail between my legs? Lol no, I go and play Trials and have a great time!
My quits are political, come at me.
Or it's just people being bored and doing silly shit. I'd go in with my buddies and suicide in Halo 3 and try to see if we could come back after -50.
Clearly since we did that, Halo 3 was pointless.
343 could prioritize skill heavily in Reach, doesn't mean they're going to do it.
