True story: Up at RIT where I went to school for a while, I asked for a pie of pizza to order out. Kid looked at me like I had 285832 eyes.
"A what?" he says.
"A large pie" I said.
"Huh?"
"A pizza, a large pie of pizza"
Come on bro, you work at a fuckin pizzeria, what the fuck else could I be talking about?
Tashi0106 said:
lmao, I don't think I've ever referred to it as a pie in RL, but I know what it is at least. Kids these days...
If anyone is looking for a good frozen pizza (hold the laughter!), get a Palermo's if they're available in your area. They're super thin, and I hate thin pizzas, but man, SO GOOD.
Ramirez said:
for real? It's rare that I hear, "large pizza" over "large pie". Like, I couldn't tell you the last time I heard it.
Good frozen pizza
Jumbo Shrimp
Crash landing
Exact estimate
edit: I'll bet Sai Kun has something to say about pizza being from Chicago. He still can't touch NY pizza but I'll bet it's great in Chicago.
And I've had LA pizza, it's good but no NY pizza. DPC

Palermo's is pretty good for frozen pizza.Ramirez said:
Whatever you do, don't get the DiGiorno's Garlic Bread Pepperoni Pizza and eat the entire thing yourself.
The pizza is delicious, but prepare for immediate lavatorial repercussions. Take a book with you. A Halo book, if you want to stay on topic.

ALAN WAKE 2! GOD YES! FINALLY!
MGS: Raiden reveal.
Maybe at the end of their retrospective of Halo, they will announce the first glimpse of Halo 4 at the VGAs.

The Halo 4 VGA thing is a category for most anticipated game for 2012, so I don't think that directly confirms a Halo 4 trailer at the VGA's, but it seems likely either way to me.

So getting one of these.
Chapter 13, it got interesting. The writing style changed, actual dialog has appeared, and things are happening. It's better. But even though it sucked me in for a day, I haven't gotten back to it (I'm about 2/3 of the way in now). It's sort of my weekend book, I'll put a few hours into it over this weekend and see how it goes. It had a lead up to actual events that I found really grueling, but it's definately gotten better.Dax01 said:
Work has been absurdly brutal latey and my evening free time has been cut down dramatically. I'm spending more and more time working the CEA OT when I'm not sucked into Bejeweled, so the weekend is my only real time to read.

How would HaloGAF feel about an extended arsenal for campaign. UNSC has a lot of weapons in current circulation and we get a relativly tiny sandbox of them to explore.
Id love to see different assualt rifles a DMR and a BR. Multiple pistols silenced and unsilenced variants ect.

Heretic!Steelyuhas said:
I think there's something to be said for making some weapons mode-specific, and we've seen a bit of that in the games. We never saw firebombs from Halo 3 on a MP map (though, for perf reasons), and the target locator from Reach isn't in MP (there for time reasons). But in general, I don't think there's anything wrong with providing some unique weapons for Campaign. It's probably more bang for the buck to have them overlap, but as a concept I think it's fine and might benefit Campaign play. Not everything needs to be balanced for MP.StalkerUKCG said:

Its a motion sensor. Dosnt really make sense and from a canon perspective to suddenly switch to a less effective model of radar would be rather odd.Ramirez said:
Im happy with halo's motion sensor as it is.

Ramirez said:
Yeah I think that would be better than the full radar we have.
Also, I might get some backlash for this, but Halo could really learn a thing or two from player investment systems from COD and BF (not talking about unlocking weapons and such, but how in-game points are awarded to the player for their actions).
StalkerUKCG said:
Gameplay is king!
StalkerUKCG said:
I agree with you. I definitely think that due to the mixed reception of bloom a ROF capped BR and a DMR with bloom should both be in the sandbox in some capacity. They might not even have to coexist in the game at the same time but having the option between the two would be great. I'd also like to see more branching of SP and MP weapon sets. The ODST pistol in particular wouldn't work that well for MP but it's a blast to use in Campaign and Firefight. Likewise if the Chopper doesn't fit in to the campaign well then put in for use in MP.
What would be ideal is a full on weapon editor. Call it Blacksmith or something. Let us adjust different properties of a weapon like clip size, damage, ROF, Scope zoom, headshot capability etc. An ancillary benefit to this is like Forge it could be used to push updates remotely without the need for a patch.
I get where you're coming from (and I think there's a place for it), but a huge part of what made objective stuff fun for me was the idea of sneaking into the enemy base, and that kind of goes out the window when you can go full sprint without any repercussions as long as you don't fire your weapon. Gametype-restricted settings would help.Ramirez said:
Ramirez said:
Pretty sure that's how Perfect Dark handled it back in the day, though I think that was a custom setting you had to activate.
Yes, I would be on board with this, if only because it would be a step closer to adding in the ODST Silenced SMG I keep raving about every couple of pages.
To get around the undetected Full Sprint, you could also allow being fired upon to activate the radar as well, so if a team-mate takes a pot shot at a running enemy, that enemy flickers into view on your radar (from the sound of the impact). That'd at least help a little.

Alot of the halo population, I prefer the current motion sensor to something liek what COD use. That system works fine for cod but halo isnt cod and alot of the stuff wont transfer between the too well.Ramirez said:
Stalker V Ramirez round 4 (noticed we disagree on pretty much everything?)
StalkerUKCG said:
If your only reason to be against it is because of canon, then that's not a very good reason. Allowing people to some what freely move around maps makes the game flow so much better. It's so hard to flank in Halo with radar, and flanking is one of the biggest aspects of a shooter to me.

Until you've eaten an entire 18'' Costco Combo pizza in one sitting like me, you have no right to talk about pizza, ever.
Reach already tossed that out by providing vertical depth perception to the radar. We had four games where radar told you proximity, but not vertical location (is he above me or below me?). I still don't know why it was changed, but I don't think radar should be immune from updates.StalkerUKCG said:
FWIW, I though the Halo 1-3 style was fine. Can't be seen crouch walking, didn't let players know vertical location. And for some game types, remove it.
This is a really weird standard, since you have really weird eating habits.Domino Theory said:
I used to be able to eat well over one large pizza on my lonesome, but my metabolism hit the brakes around age 22.

Canon isnt my only reason. Halo plays fine the way it is, Having everyone run around the map with no fear of being detected on halos open maps is a reciep for disaster. Its going to promote "rambo" gameplay even more.Ramirez said:
COD and BF3 suffer from this shoot and run away gameplay too much.

Its not like that in MLG because the teams are well orginized, not everyone plays with randoms
Truthfull i dont mind reachs radar, i think it works fine. For me the motion sensor is core to how i play, i can play without it but i prefer to play with it.
