I just quit out of my first match since Bungie introduced the credit jackpots for not leaving.
Fuck this game today. I walked around a local game store trying to decide what I would buy with the money I could get from trading in Reach.
I'm going to go read a book.

It's forgeable in the same way as all the other non-forge oriented maps in Reach. The only things that are likely to be forgeable in the remake maps (unless there is a new canvas map) are things like the connected bridges on Damnation, and other components that have been changed to support Reach's sandbox.Homeboyd said:
This is why I'm perplexed that people want a covenant forge world. Such awkward objects.Homeboyd said:
Also, would anyone be willing to help me film scenes for my machinima? I need a few people on at like 8/9 EST.
If everything goes well it shouldn't take more than 20 minutes.
If that rumor hadn't started I don't think you would see as many people supporting it. People just want something new and are willing to throw some $$ at it. Would be pretty sweet to see the new "press back for classic graphics" being offered in forge but would instead cycle through various skins.A27 Tawpgun said:
If they could figure out a PC map creator that could work with Halo 4 and sell it separately... Would want.
Don't even start. Payed access means would mean that you would have to pay to get peoples maps, because no one is going to pay for access to the SDK and then put in actual dev time and expect no return.Homeboyd said:
Free access though would be fantastic, because it means that you just put out your own tools with some limitations like the H1 HEK, build a secure pipeline for the content, and watch as people do work for you and breath limitless new life into the game.

Mona Lisa part 9 is up
When this series is done, which story would you guys want to see made into a motion comic?
I'd love Dust since I've always loved ODST's and the plot is great IMO.

It would mean a lot to us Mr. Big, Thanks.
That's why I said theyd have to figure out a way to make it work (integrate maps from a shared database so that you could download maps to your HDD like it was DLC.)MrBig said:
I agree community maps bring new life to the game but I don't see devs spending the time and money on what we really want with Forge unless they had some way to prove it's value.. i.e. sells. I'm with you 100% but I don't think we'll be satisfied with our editing abilities as long as it's "free." I also realize we'll never be satisfied anyways no matter what's offered.
T.U. and the Cassic+ stuff are relatively right around the corner, just play or do other stuff. It's supposed to be a hobby, something for fun during free time, I don't really get why people waste time playing something that causes so much disgust just because of the Halo name, worthless credits and the occasional hint of fun, when they could be doing something better.Hitmonchan107 said:
It was hard after being so used to consistency of high quality and lack of disapointment for so many years, but I already grew out of the habit of playing whatever the Halo community is supposed to be playing. From now on if current Halo sucks, I'll be relaxing in the sidelines until it's good again and let the rest of the community do harm to their health while doing something that is supposed to be doing the opposite.
Valve's integration of community maps into TF2 is pretty satisfying. Translated to a console environment it would be like this (assuming they finally go about integrating server browsers into Halo): You're allowed custom servers that have any maps you want on them. You can get the maps from MS's servers after they have gone through a non-malicousness test. After they're signed off anyone can DL them, either from an in-game listing, a site-listing, or when you attempt to join a game with custom map. From there the best community maps will get picked up by 343 and made into a pack that can be either auto-dowloaded once a month or whenever the user chooses. These maps will be integrated into the ranked systems, be it in official servers or the matchmaking system.Homeboyd said:
That is literally exactly what I was referring to. Thank you for posting it.. I wasn't familiar with their system.MrBig said:
Would be awesome.
We also haven't had the opportunity to see what 343 can do with forge (or wants to do with forge) since tempest was our only other real forge map and it came from Bungie. I'm hoping it's a priority. Although I'm sure there are plenty of others who disagree.

Almost like a mini campaign mission right?
Or generator defense, that thing no one remember exists.

I think about something like that, too. I would call it "Firefight Invasion". Your main goal is the same: Survive and get a lot of points. At any time, there will be a secondary objective. These secondary objective could be "plant the bomb at a specific position", "destroy this vehicle", "protect/defend these persons/objects" or "hold a specific position". You don't have to fulfill these secondary objective. But if you do them, you'll get a special vehicle, weapon or lives.wwm0nkey said:

Does Section 8 have "firefight"-like mode? I have both titles here, but I never really played the XBLA one.(And the Retail game I only finished the campaign)Booshka said:
I don't think so, I was talking about Section 8's MP, I'm talking about Prejudice as well. I remember hearing that "they"Hypertrooper said:

Went outside and played paintball at a course with some friends. Mostly neutral-flag gametypes, although we did play one game of Assault (instant arm).
Pros:
- No Armor Lock
- There were only one or two grenades used all day.
- Latency seemed pretty low, although I definitely wasn't host.
- Framerate didn't suffer, even on 20v20 games.
Cons:
- Starting weapon had AWFUL bloom/spread that wouldn't settle.
- Weapon pickup was disabled and there wasn't any extra ammo on the map.
- Movement speed and jump height were painfully low. I need to hit the gym.
- Lack of flag indicators made it hard to determine which team had it and where they were.
- Map design was terrible (too many soft kill zones), thankfully there were no jetpacks because they would just break it.
Also the cR payout waspractically nothing.

Sorry I was such a negative nancy today. I made a terrible batch of spaghetti earlier, and it's been all downhill from there.
Still the best Halo video ever made, and yes I made it and I am gratuitously tooting my own horn. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtbRV_Ow_G0
Halo 3 Big Team is still the most fun I've ever had with Halo.

That video is so beautiful. The Sandtrap footage reminded me of how awesome that map was for vehicular brawls.Phatcorns said:
Someone needs to do a montage in similar style showing how poor Reach's BTB is.
He wins for the music alone. I had to close that after about 30 seconds.Karl2177 said:
This is always what Halo means to me. Epic carnage. Vehicle and Infantry interplay. Way too much fun.Phatcorns said:
BTB was the definitive Halo for me. I loved the competetive 4 v 4 environments a lot too, but BTB is always "True Halo" to me.
Until Reach... now I don't want to play my favorite playlist because what Reach has done to it
Guess the only thing to do is to dong in Objective/Squad/Premium Battle until Halo 4. Bring back BTB to its former glory!

Premium Battle is almost a good fix :/.
Alas, Halo 3 BTB... I know what you mean Topgun, I know what you mean :/.
