Yeah I'm kind of worried that if it's mostly slayer it'll be just that mostly slayer.Havok said:

You can have both. Just saying, it's really not a tie when one team doesn't move the flag at all and the other gets it within inches of the cap point. A team that just barely manages to hold off the attackers should have to cap on their round to win.

I don't know if this is old or not, but wow:
Halo Reach completed in 87 minutes on heroic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=zJtI_T6PSE0
I don't know if I should be happy for the guy who did it or a bit sad that Reach's campaign can be so short.

Got to play Installation 04 Firefight today at Helsinki DigiExpo. Could've tried the multiplayer maps as well and some Anniversary game modes probably but didn't. Playing against my friend who is not nearly as good as me wouldn't have been fun.
As for the the map itself, it felt pretty good and looked nice, as much something can look nice in splitscreen mode. The Warthog is so much better than Rocket'Hog. Dunno if the ODSTs were useful, i splattered one, and we played on normal. Maybe they're better at higher difficulties?
There was a 64player FFA tournament on new MP maps as well but watching a bunch of 15-18 year olds playing FFA mostly if not exclusively on Beaver Creek was not interesting. Halo is one of those games that are very boring to watch in my opinion.
Should've tried Forge on Timberlands, hindsight is always 20/20...
There would've been Halo Anniversary presenation but since i saw nothing new about anything (ME3 had a playable demo, the E3 one, SWTOR E3 trailer was shown) so me, my brother and friend got bored and left before it. I doubt they would've showed new footage.
DigiExpo is worse and worse every year and since Finland is such middle of nowhere place, they never show anything truly interesting there. Closest thing we Finns got to E3 /facepalm

Louis Wu said:Heh - don't be sad. Halo and Halo 3 were both done in 77 minutes, and Halo 2 in 90, I think.
Speed runs shouldn't make you sad about the paucity of campaign content; they're all about SKIPPING campaign content.
A that's good to hear

You mean the Falcon. You got me excited for a moment. :*(TheOddOne said:
I wonder how close they games would be if Reach didn't have the unskippable sequences sitting on the side of the Falcons, from the beginning of Winter, the fly to the communications outpost later, and the rail rides on Exodus and Tip of the Spear. Probably at least five minutes right there. I imagine they drive speed runners nuts.Louis Wu said:Heh - don't be sad. Halo and Halo 3 were both done in 77 minutes, and Halo 2 in 90, I think.

Edit: scratch one of those, forgot it was skippable. I gotta try that sometime.

It's only Slayer, Flag, and Assault.
Did they specify which yet? Haven't been paying close attention to the thread and an apparent podcast.Steelyuhas said:
CEA BTB with DMR/Mag start? Strange. I wonder what maps will be under the BTB listing - Headlong, Timberland, and Hang 'em High? Not that I ever look at Hang 'em High as a big team map, but I could easily see them sliding it in there.

Striker said:
No, just that it was those three gametypes in the playlist, pretty heavy on the slayer side though. Headlong, Timberland, and Hang em' High for the BTB playlist, DMR and Magnum (not sure why).
I assume because the Anny playlist should have Beaver Creek, Damnation, Prisoner, and Hang em' High that we will get multi-flag, one-flag, neutral bomb, one-bomb, slayer.

Lol I tried pacing my DMR shots, it actually worked! I felt like a killing machine, pretty awesome.
Anyway, I still think 85% bloom should be universal except for Invasion.
P.S: Not a single Invasion on Breakpoint yet and now it doesn't even appears on Premium Battle. WHY!?

I thought the plan was to make 85% universal and ZB only in Anniversary playlists, then again I am really out of the loop.
I promise I'm not becoming recluse HaloGAF, I'm just busy.
Also,
Christmas Milkshake is back at Chickfila! So good!
Sure, I understand your reasoning. I'm curious how that would even be measured, though. A straight line A to B? If that's the case, then I might as well play it safe and park the flag at rocket spawn on Reflection because it's a good bet that I can stop the enemy team from getting it much closer than that. If you take flag routes into account, then you're indirectly punishing teams that by chance pick the route that the defending team respawns nearest, which is already the most annoying thing about 1 Flag. It just seems incredibly complicated.HiredN00bs said:

Edit.: beaten.
Edit 2.: No customs are planned for today? Is anyone interested for some "no-serious MLG and no minigames" customs? Just playing objective gametypes for fun?

Considering they are hitting a hard cap of number of playlists allowed in the game with the Anniversary playlists, it seems extremely unlikely.
Race playlist would be awesome though.

How could someone possibly be older than Wu?
He was running bigbang.bungie.org a few femto seconds after existence started.
