Well, tomorrow everything gets put on hold anyway when the forums merge.
Or are they still doing that?
Also... Give me something to render you fraks.
It's the 24th and I still have all 5 minutes.
It's usually happened by now. It could be that all the backend problems they've been having is preventing it this year; it might not be worth the trouble.
Made me realize just how weak the Reach maps are, and granted I'm more partial to asylum and MLG type maps that keep things nice and fast paced and flowing but still going back made me realize just how bad the dynamic (level design) of the Reach maps are. Even on swat it just feels like theres 2x as much time between fights then there should be. It also made me realize how they tried to use a great deal of the basic designs of past maps to Reach maps rather then build maps from the ground up suited to the new style of play reach has.
The pit, Construct, Guardian, Narrows, Valhalla...I mean those were inital maps in H3 and even now all these years later you play a game on one of those and it just shows that the level design was so strong to keep gameplay moving at a good clip. Tonights throwback play just made me feel as though the Reach maps were fairly uninspired (YMMV) and just not as suited to the new style of fighting reach had then they should have been.
i agree to a point but... we were kind of spoiled in halo 3 with some of the best maps of the franchise. valhalla is blood gulch but good, and then we got a step back.
BUT, i remain optimistic because:
we have 'lots' more DLC coming
noble pack 1 had to be the best map pack bungie has made to date
less forge world, more new maps
i will mail blow and money to bungie for them to remake valhalla brb

I still don't understand why developers just don't port over the maps from the original games first, THEN make new maps. How many Halo 1, Halo 2, and Halo 3 remakes are we going to see?
Lots. I've seen halo 2 and halo CE remakes. Sometimes being lazy and porting stuff over isn't such a bad thing after all.
I largely agree about the maps; I love Reach, and find it incredibly fun, but the most glaring weakness is the map selection. But as Jay said, I have faith we'll get some better maps down the road.
I got it done in about 10 minutes on Winter Contingency. Just save after you pop the sword elite at the end, reload and repeat.

So... Best Buy is running a sale on Live time cards. Currently $45 each. Not bad, but better if you can find the Black Ops 1 year + 2 months cards for the same price. My subscription ends the 25th of Jan. Tempted to pick up one.
I just went back to try some Firefight again. And uh... they still haven't fixed the horrible frame rate in Glacier. That map has been fucking broken since it was released, you can't aim for shit with all the choppiness. It's a shame, cause that map does have a good defensive layout.
Also, I find most people are really risky in their playstyle, since there are infinite lives in Firefight. I wish they'd change it back to ODST's format, where there were limited lives and people played cautiously.
Nope. Turn on Scoring before doing the level. When you save and quit before pressing the button, then load up, the lobby will just have you start at that checkpoint over and over again..
They probably figured if people found the framerate unacceptable, they'd simply not vote for it?
I was just playing Firefight. We vetoed the map Courtyard. The next map in the rotation was Glacier. The game did not let us veto Glacier. Apparently, vetoing Courtyard locked us out from vetoing Glacier, the next map.

So, a while ago, I brought you a video that shows what happens when my girlfriend gets behind a Mongoose during Rocket Race. Well, she is still at it to this day.
After recieving the game for christmas, I'm finally willing to step into the fray into online Multiplayer. I do wonder, though, if it is still worth it to keep voice chat off on regular pubs, or if you just need voice too much to play the game properly.

I bought this back in September and didn't have a lot of time to play because of school. And when I did play a game it was usually Starcraft.
Now I'm on break and I'm at the last part of the last mission, on Legendary, by myself, trapped behind a rock and surrounded by guys with fuel rods.

Fucking withdrawal symptoms here, I could suck some dick just for a trial code.
Anyone want to help me speedrun Nightfall to get a good chunk of it done fast? :P
Huh? The 12 + 2 cards I've seen have been Reach branded.
Oh thank god. By the way, when do weeklies expire, next monday?

Then why did they deem it acceptable for release after launch? It plays terribly.
i only did so-so on the one i did. i'm hopping on now.

So no, this solution doesn't work.
I wish I could hate you to death.

That's what you get for vetoing Courtyard.
