We're all watching cartoons.

Or half asleep waiting for matchmaking to find people...

I hate when it finds enough people and says players are set/loading map, then it's like "oops, nevermind!" and just boots everyone and starts searching again. -_-

i have question. in the second level. there is this blue thing that if you step on it, it will fly you to the middle of the arena or so. however, when i step on it and fly, i keep getting lagged or somehing. i never had this smooth fly[ jump ]. it always "cuts" my way thro,

for example, it fly me to the air and while i am flying, the screen get back to the almost the beginning and so. its like its lagging.

am i the only one with this?

That happens when the connection is really bad. Push the "back" button and check if everyone's connection is red. You'll get repeating animations for everything. Nothing like seeing yourself do the same jump 10 times!


Also could be standby, but most of the time it's just lag. The standby assholes are usually pretty obvious/proud of it.

Valhalla? Man Cannon?

It sounds like its a lag issue.

I've had the problem maybe for a second during Big Team Battle, but thats it.

If you are getting it every single time you use the Man Cannon then it might be your connection.

 

[Rorschach]

Yeah, usually, it's only in BTB (12 players).

 

[Bamihap]

Can anyone create a custom game with me? I've got 4 friends in a game right now and we're clueless

yeah. its exactly like that. to be fair i have bad connection. i know that. but i dont have any lag issue in the game. only at this jump.
so i just wanted to know if its the same like this with everyone. all good. thanks people

The very few times I've experienced lag in the Beta have been on the Man Cannon.

So, No, you aren't crazy

that gun is frickin gorgeous in this picture.

They used the special calibration disc that comes with the Legendary Edition.

Eh, almost the same hand animation

Good thing I pre-ordered it !!!

Spoiler

Still a lot of money but what the hell!, I've spent $130 on stupider sh*t.

Can I use that for Gears? I might buy Halo 3 if it let me calibrate Gears.

 

[Crab Milk Mickey]

I think it calibrates your TV set, no?

Still, it's something that should've been in the Regular Edition as well. Other Limited Editions don't charge you extra money for Video Settings options (albeit manually), among other things.

Gears is already too good.

At this size they look almost the same to me

Compared for Great Justice

Conclusion = FALSE

 

[Chinner]

I'd say they look the same, they do on ma TV and you got to rememeber that TX shot was with the shot glowing at full which distorts and hides the detail.

Fourth core in September confirmed.

I think we're on different pages here:

BWU pic is far better, and I mean FAR

Its a bullshot but its the same model only cleaned up.

 

[giga]

You're comparing a blurry shot compared to a cleaner one with a lower res (thus hiding any flaws). They're very much the same.

 

[Stinkles]

Its a bullshot but its the same model only cleaned up.

It's a plain old game shot, taken out of the buffer. It's from a newer build than the Beta, but Blim could probably replicate that shot perfectly well and take a hi-res capture. Most of the "awesome" you guys are seeing is simply color from the pistol overcharge and the rest of it, good and bad, is in your mind.

 

[GhaleonEB]

It's not actually that far. Plus, the capture on the comparison shot isn't great.

Edit: Stinkles FTW.

Never mind

I can see Bungie toning down the Needler a little bit. I dont think it will have as much BARK come September.


And the Laser ammo should go down EVERY time you hold the trigger, not just when it fires.

yeah! 10 power for the entire time charge, 10 power for the final discharge

you get your 5 shots, as long as you do it properly!

 

[FIREBABY]

Will motion blur be used in the final game, single or multi?

 

[Stinkles]

All I will confirm is that if you have an LCD monitor older than five years, there will be plenty of motion blur.

 

[MaX_PL]

I think with some AA the game will look much nicer. While the aliasing isn't as noticeable on Highground or Snowbound, it seems to really detract from Valhalla for me. Hopefully they will have some implemented by time of release (as I understand it, there is currently no AA at all, right?).

that is a big complaint of mine. i thought it may have been because for the first time i was playing on a HDTV, but i guess it makes a ton of sense. jaggies all over.

20ms refresh rate ftmfw.

I've got a Sammy and I don't see all the jaggies everyone is reporting. Yeah, it could use a little more AA, but it's nothing crazy.

no and no! the needler and laser are fine. If anything, i'd like the needler to track better over distances.


And yeah, some AA would really make a giant difference.

 

[urk]

Needler is perfect. I love it. Love it. It's like the previous two iterations have me so blue-balled (or pink-balled if you will) that now when I pick it up, it's so satisfying that I never want to stop cradling it's round, smooth shaft of death-dealing perfection.

 

[OverHeat]

Winner!

 

[Uno Ill Nino]

I hope they NEVER change the Needler again. I have a video uploaded to my file share of me whooping ass with it. Vid is appropriately titled "Needler Glory". I love grabbing it and facing off on High Ground against somebody going for the rockets/bubble shield and then surprising the hell out of them when I come out on top.

I really like it too. It still looks like it should be dual-wieldable, though. The gun should be bigger or something.
