Seconded. Also; Halo has no decent cover system whatsoever. Rainbow Six, GRAW and Gears had no problem doing it; get with the program, BUNGIE.

edit; oh and when you pick up ammo, ever noticed how you just run over it and it magically gets transported into your gun? Totally lame. How about a decent pickup animation, BUNGIE.

WOW.

Everyone needs to relax.

Picking up ammo, or switching weapons is something that take a split second and you do it ever few SECONDS. Not worth an animation for that. Pressing a button doesn't require an animation because it takes a Split Second.

Looking up and seeing a guy Float-Walk up a ladder is silly. It take a few seconds, and deserves SOME FORM of different animation that just walking vertically.

Go to the System Blade in the Dashboard
Select Memory
Select your HDD
Select "Games"
Scroll to "Crackdown"
Select the Beta and then Delete.

Seemed relevant.

Level 12...Do you know that you can control the spawning location of the other team, depending on where your teammate are on the map. You know how to control the beach to make sure they dont spawn in your back?

Learn how to play then talk to me about the map with the worst spawning.

:lol Wow. "Learn how to play". Isn't that cute.

I'm very aware of being able to control the system to make the other team spawn in certain places. The problem is, I don't give a damn. That's not what I'm talking about.

Even though us level 12ers are retards who don't know how to play, some of us don't really have troubles with people spawning behind us. My problem is spawning right out in the open and immediately being killed while there are many other areas of the map where I could be spawned. I think Urk explained this pretty well.

Anywho, I'm done with your ego and your bullshit. You've made a wonderful addition to my ignore list.

Been thinking about Shrine, the epic vehicle apocalypse, and how bad the lag was during the few 16-player custom games I played. I'm hoping it was poor party because customs were not supposed to be in the Beta at all, and things will be much better at ship. I really, really want Shrine to be an awesome map, as I love vehicular combat. But 16 guys in over half a dozen vehicles or more sounds like a recipe for lagfest, and I hope it's not.

Also - since MP maps are grounded in Campaign locations, I can only assume that Shrine takes place in that epic desert battle we've been teased about three times. (Desert Brigade wallpaper, announcement trailer, Starry Night ad.)

Posters with less than 100 posts are Halo trolls so I won't even mention them.



I liked that there were no boss fights in Halo. Pattern based boss fights in FPS always feel so unnatural, even more so in Halo. Loved the scarab 'boss' fight, it was amazing.

Oh no! You must have counted wrong.

Yeah, I can't wait for Shrine. I've always loved vehicular combat in Halo, but my problem has always been that it takes so long for them to respawn, and most other people aren't in vehicles, etc. Since the vehicles will respawn really quickly, it looks like it'll be a cool map, as long as there isn't lag.

I don't know if Shrine is at the epic battle location, but I'm looking forward to seeing the Ship overhead, which I don't think was visible in any screenshots. I'm also wondering how the map will be limited; such as by large sand dunes, or by rocky walls, or by auto turrets, which made Snowbound a really cool map visually.

 

[siamesedreamer]

I wasn't a fan of the first level or most of what took palce on Earth. That goddamn slow moving Scorpion has more than worn out it's welcome.

I agree on both points.

The huge New Mombassa bridge was hyped to hell. It looked great, but the Scorpion made it way to easy.........basically it was a win button.

I guess you could ditch the Scorpion and take the bridge on foot or Ghost though.

The scorpion can be useful in some tricky spots (like where you have to let the bridge down with the two Wraiths on the other side). But, I'd rather them make it more challenging by not including it at all......

It will consume 16 hectares and if strung, letter by letter in one continuous link, it will reach to the sun and back a total of 7 times.

The OXM UK article says not to wander too far past the towers, lest you find an unpleasant surprise. I'm guessing turrets, ala Snowbound.
