So are we going to arrange anything to meetup Thursday night? It would be cool to meet everyone before pax and perhaps make a plan to meet Friday morning in the pane lineup.

I just figured I would ask this question; Am I the only one who thinks the pistol (without bloom) would be the absolute ideal spawning weapon for basically all gametypes? Even in BTB it would still have some range but not quite the range of the DMR so you can't cross-map people. I asked this because I don't think I'm the only one who thinks this.

Even though a lot of people will be at PAX, I still think the people that usually don't post often will come post in this thread. However, there is always the new thread for new news rule, so most discussion might be in Gaming.

I think Devin Olsen has still two 3Day passes and is selling them for $150. It's a good price in my opinion.BigShow36 said:

Very stupid question, but I am apparently retarded and can't find it anywhere: does anyone know where on earth I can see the specific maps/gametypes/weighting are for Reach playlists right now? All the links I found directing to it on the Bungie site just go to the main Reach page where I don't see it anywhere, and I couldn't find anything on Waypoint either (which is where I assumed it had gone).

Since tashi's team passed it up I have no qualms about giving this out to halogaf for avs/sigs or whatever. If you want one with your name just tell me.
I'm not coming up until Friday morning, so I can't make a Thursday night gathering.
Does anyone know where the Pegasus Theatre will be this year? Some theaters are outside of PAX in nearby hotels and auxiliary buildings, and you don't go through the PAX line to get into them. My plan is to line up there first if it's outside the convention center - but I can't find where it is this year. My plan is to be in line for it at 8:00.

Nice to see the discussion still going. Sadly I have nothing else to add because like normal GhaleonEB was in my head and worded the argument perfectly.

Best not visit OT then!
Put me in the camp that would welcome a 2x scope or at least something that mitigates the DMR's range now that it will be bloomless (in certain playlists). Tashi, I'm not quite sure why you're so adamant on keeping the 3x scope. By your own admission, you pretty much only play MLG, a playlist in which the maps are exclusively small to mid sized and therefore would be unaffected by a reduction in the scope of the DMR. If anything, it would increase the skill required because you couldn't zoom from one side of the map to the other and let the aim assist do all the work. If the scope was indeed reduced (a speculative solution at this point) that wouldn't mean the range of the gun would be reduced - an important distinction to make.
I certainly wouldn't blame the DMR solely for the malaise of btb though. The primary culprit for that is the maps (or the paucity of them). At launch, we were given two maps that were btb maps first and foremost - Hemorrhage and Paradiso. Paradiso is just straight up bad map design, I don't think it would play particularly well in any Halo game past or present. Hemorrhage is too large. With base movement as slow as it is, sprint is the only option and even then it feels tedious to traverse. There are MAJOR imbalance issues in favour of Red base (which become laughable when played in a hardcore gametype like team snipers). Of course, the Hog being made of 18th century porcelain doesn't help the map.
Breakpoint is a tremendous Invasion map (the only map where Invasion feels right, I might add) and it could work well in certain btb gametypes given some tweaks (one instance of outrageous thoughtlessness in it's current weapon placement is one side having a laser and the other not)
Highlands could quite possibly be the best btb map in the game. It seems like it would play optimally with 8v8. I wouldn't know though because the map has never appeared when i've played btb :z
In 5v5 I have never seen a team reach 75 kills on the map.

You're missing out on Highlands. Such a nice map. Well would be if it weren't for the over abundance of power weapons on the map.

Just rendered a clip I made a few days ago that I believe is showing some form of grenade magnetism (only had enough for SD render, forgive me), followed by an absolutely ridiculous lunge that can only be attributed to lag.
The clip
Oh, and I believe the frag grenade I threw goes straight, lands as it should, then bounces to the right and follows the poor bastard sprinting past the doorway. Also, my thumb did all the talking when I was hit with that ridiculous melee lunge, my crosshair/aim goes crazy because I can't believe what the fuck just happened.

Forgive if this has been pointed out, I just now saw the update:
With less than two weeks until Halo Fest, many of you are finalizing your travel plans to (mostly) sunny Seattle, WA. As you know, Halo Fest will be held in the Washington State Convention Center 3rd Floor Annex, which has a separate outdoor entrance that will take you directly to the Halo Fest space.
Pic and address at the link. Still no word on wher the Pegasus Theater is, last year is was across the street in a hotel.RebornYeti

It's ok. It would be better if one base wasn't entirely downhill of the other, and it being completely open in betweenPsychoRaven said:
