3ds with no 3d.

 

[The Henery]

Halo 3 MM and fileshare has been down for a while now. Other games are working fine. BOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Orochinagis]

Uhhh



lol

You cant close that thing right?

 

[belushy]

Has 343i commented on that "new DLC-thing" from the PAX schedule?

Don't think so, but it better be free.

 

[Nowise10]

Too much DLC. I just bought the Bullseye mappack, haven't really gotten a chance to play it yet

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

I'm still confused, where did this talk of new DLC come from?

You cant close that thing right?

nope.

#HGS amirite?

 

[aHebrewMenagerie]

Hey guys, i'm new here, i'm about as frustrated with Halo 4 as you guys are, i hope i can save halo w/ you guys, etc, etc, #HGS or whatever.

On a side note, i think those little player profiles that 343 are kind of cool, just saw the one for Goofy.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Saints Row IV sold 1 MILLION in week 1.

 

[NobleGundam]

No perks, broken AAs, and baby

Howdy ho

Feel free to add me on Live if you want someone to play Halo/BF3/whatever with. My gamertag is the same as my GAF name.

I appreciate the offer, but my Live ran out a couple months ago, I might get it back in a couple weeks, maybe not, I'm just sort of biding my time for next-gen, in the hopes that Halo 5/One/V/Eggheads Strikes Back will get me back into the game.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Saints Row IV sold 1 MILLION in week 1.

whoa,how much did the 3rd sell in a week?

 

[squidhands]

Saints Row IV sold 1 MILLION in week 1.

I'm finally starting to play Crackdown and despite the shitty controls, it's pretty fun. Are the two similar in what you can do?

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Not 100% sure but SR3 sold around 5 million total I believe, so IV is on a good pace to break that.

I'm finally starting to play Crackdown and despite the shitty controls, it's pretty fun. Are the two similar in what you can do?

Yeah, I'd say so. Saints has a far better story than Crackdown as well, much funnier. Also a ton of awesome weapons and stuff to do.

 

[Fracas]

I had fun with IV, but it felt painfully obvious that it was originally an expansion.

I'm there day one for next gen Saint's Row though. Especially if (SR IV spoiler ahead - I guess that's a thing)

Cool, one more game to add to the Christmas list.

 

[User 73706]

What would your guys' dream gametype list be? Answers other than "all the gaems let us do what we want" would be preferable.

Two sets of playstyles:

-Ranked (basically Legendary BRs with higher speeds and no Sprint, AAs, Perks, 25M Teammates Only radar)

-Social (Pro with BR/Sprint, Carbine/Thruster, Light Rifle/Double Jump loadouts, no other AAs/perks, 40M motion tracker)

Gametypes include:

Slayer
CTF
Assault
Oddball
King of the Hill / Extraction hybrid
Regicide / VIP hybrid
Territories
Grifball
Ricochet
Invasion 2.0
Infection
"Insane" (Reach's developmental wildcard gametype)

when it glitches out and the original Saints Row Menu pops up, coding appears on the screen and one line says

I just want Halo 2 clans/clan matches back

 

[aHebrewMenagerie]

Yo 343

That is a cool system, however, I couldn't see for a game like Halo, i mean, how would it work?


It seems like its meant for more RPG-style games.

 

[Syphon Filter]

About Halo 2 for xbox one. I doubt they will release that and halo 5 in the same year and time frame. So do you think it will ever happen?

The privilege and naming system is identical to Halo 2 clan stuff

 

[TheOddOne]

Why do people ask questions that are painfully obvious. Just think and use some common ass logic, before you actually type.

 

[Prinz Eugn]

They also have the benefit of launching on new hardware with 50 gb blu-ray discs. They'll probably continue the use of the modified Reach engine. Add in the target 1080p/60fps gameplay etc.

God, I hope not. From the rumors a swirlin', the Halo 4 engine is a spaghetti-coded mess of epic proportions.

I'm prepared to blame 60% of Halo 4's problems on having to hack together things on top of the already questionable Reach engine, which was extended from the Halo 3 engine, which itself was a highly modified Halo 2 engine, which was a revamped CE engine, which was originally supposed to be for an RTS game on Mac.

I bought some FPS Freeks from the MS store (figured they were worth a shot for $4), and they feel sooooo weird. People use them, so I guess they do help, but this is going to take a while to get used to.

I think it's only reasonable that I lead the HaloGAF GTA5 Criptastic New Guard Guild. Our rivals, old guard known as the HaloGAF Bad Blood Kids, are constantly fighting us for turf in Los Santos.

What rumors? I like spaghetti and Halo.
By the looks of Halo 4, they must be having problems with the engine bcuz the game plays like crap. Im not trying to bash 343's game but the Levels & A.I. are poop in comparison to its predecessors. It feels off playing campaign. And MP speaks for itself.

 

[Nowise10]

So where did this "new DLC" rumor come from?

 

[aHebrewMenagerie]

So where did this "new DLC" rumor come from?

There was a listing for a panel at Pax this weekend.

It's under Sunday's listings

Now that I think about it, and having re-read the way it is listed in the Twitch blog, it could be about the new Spartan Assault DLC. Since in the blog it isn't listed as New Halo 4 DLC, just New Halo DLC.

This was what my thought process was. But who knows at this point, I'm still holding out for Spartan Ops Season 2.

Has 343i commented on that "new DLC-thing" from the PAX schedule?

Well I recall 343 or Frankie saying they still have a lot more content for Halo 4, so it isn't surprising.
I'm hoping it is free though...

I've been having a blast in Rumble Pit on Reach lately.

Hah, cool. And weird. I have a ton of complaints about Reach, but about 60% of them could be solved by improved playlist management. *HINT HINT 343*

I wouldn't be opposed to a new engine for Halo 5, but I have no idea how long that takes to code, I'm not a programmer.

As long as it feels like Halo, (no pun intended) I'm not picky.

-snip-

Holy shit, are we at HaloGAF fan fiction finally?

 

[Mace Griffin]

Yeah that's fine, but I'd still say they're closer to "traditional" Halo (which I assume means Halo 1-3 style) than Quake Live is.

I mean more in spirit than technical similarities I suppose.

If you like a game where aim, map control, and movement are what counts and is designed so that the best man wins then Quake is much more similar to Halo 1-3 than Reach or Halo 4 is.
