So you want a 4sk BR? Which is what his assertion of your assertion was which you assert you weren't asserting.

and how the fuck do you know that?

How is it unbalanced? Explain. There's spread and firing rate to consider. For all you know, the BR will be 5 shot but kill in the same time as a 4 shot in 2 or 3.

What... haha

So you don't want a 4sk BR but 5sk BR isn't balanced? I think you're confusing yourself now.

You see this right here? This single sentence is why people don't like you. It's not because you have opinions. It's because you make assumptions about things you do not know and claim superiority over people who refuse to make the same leap in logic.

And you know how the rest of the sandbox works? To claim outright is completely idiotic.

Have you played the game yet?

Complete saturation. I need a break.

Why do most of the new juniors end up getting ridiculed to no end?

it's not only juniors, it's just that most regular members have more sense than to try and come up in here and start spouting off opinions and thoughts as facts and refuse to actually talk about anything.

we still make fun of dax all the time!

I'm glad I didn't have to go through this...

Or I might have to, considering I'm still a junior.

Don't do that to me.

The BR fires slower than the DMR as was proven with frame by frame analysis.

They both take the same number of shots to kill.

Please, do tell me how a slower weapon with the same power as a faster, more accurate weapon is balanced.

Regardless of what some 343 employees claims, the DMR is superior in every single engagement.

How is that balanced?

Not saying stupid shit seems to be working ok for me. Just stay reasonable and I'm sure we'll be fine.

I know, i have played Halo since 2001 yet I get talked down upon because of one word on my profile
 
I can't see this argument ending any time soon,...

So I'm going to drop some factoids, anyone who disagrees with them, explain why.

  • BR is a mid range weapon
  • BR is a utility weapon
  • BR is a load-out primary weapon
  • (assumption) 5sk BR has a slower kill time than 4sk BR
  • Halo 4 is a sandbox shooter
  • Being skilful with a sandbox requires the ability to be skilful with a large subset of the sandbox
  • The BR is one weapon
  • In order to be skilful at the game, there must not be a dominant weapon for the average encounter
  • The BR, as a 4sk, was a dominant power.
  • The BR was nerfed.

Seems pretty logical to me..

I will respond when I get on a computer, on a phone while moving house is not ideal.

More maps need strategic interactive elements to fight over, like the gate switch on relic.

absolutely.

the interactive elements of Halo 2 MP maps stand out to such a degree for me it baffles me the tradition has not been carried

A handful of maps with interaction in 3, none in reach?

Oh and really cool avatar Karl2177 still one of my favorite Halo maps of all time

Haha thanks to Dax for shopping me into it. :)

It was a great map. Which, oddly enough was one of my lower tier Halo 2 maps(which just shows how good of quality they were)

I think the last Halo map to have something like that was High Ground on Halo 3 but in matchmaking it is always left open.

EDIT: just remembered Last Resort but I guess that doesn't count because its a Halo 2 map
 
Remember when you had to be 16 or older to register on Gaf?

Seriously, do you? I checked the other day and now we can potentially have 13 year olds in here.

Makes this turn of events a little saddening.

Yea, maybe less fanboys and "devs can do no wrong" types.

FYI, I'm more than 20 years old.
 
I like the idea but I do not like the art. It looks like paint. No offense. But it does not... I do not have the right words in my mind at the moment. But I hope you can guess what I am trying to say.

I understand, it is really what I was going for though. But I experimented and made a straight black version, and IMO I think it looks pretty good, and it goes with more shirts as well. I do plan on reworking the original logo though, I think there is a lot of potential there.

Requiem Shirt All Black Logo

And since it's late, if anyone saw the shirt Kiki was wearing during the Conan video, I took some inspiration from that. Also, I hate YOLO so this was the perfect match.

YOLO! I'm Just Kitten Shirt

I am so lame but I think it's funny.

They look more fighter-jet-y, so they achieved their goal.

I'm neutral on them. As long as I can see them they're fine.
Yeah, that's true. It was just something I noticed then.

What is bad about them?
They aren't terrible and they do their jobs, but they aren't exactly aesthetically pleasing. The sword has always been an 'elegant' weapon, and I feel the old reticle conveyed that. The new one, not so much... The same with some of the other weapons... Or maybe I'm letting nostalgia get the better of me. Sometimes I have to question whether I actually dislike something or if it's just because I want to be a 10 year old kid playing CE for the first time again. /first world troubles.
 
Really fun games, guys. Halo 3 is so much fun when there's no lag. I only planned to stay on till 1 but it's 3 now, lol. I could have played even longer, but I have to wake up in 4 hours.
 
More importantly, the self shadows on the guns seem to be gone. :'(

I think they are still there, it is just hard to see them on the darker maps.
They are quite noticeable in the MLG E3 build footage on Haven.

[spoiler]no sparkz in that build though, only in Conan one.[/spoiler]

Because of the way they do lighting on dynamic objects, the shadow direction can change vectors very rapidly and the direction doesn't always make sense because they have to average all the surrounding lighting in a sparse grid of probes and then average again between multiple of those probes based on distance. It kinda looks bad to have your shadow all confused and having a seizure as you move. It's a problem with baked GI.

They had this in the earlier stages in Reach as well but opted to cut it. I think it's for the better if they cut it rather than have those problems.
