Support NeoGAF

[FyreWulff]

Glorious day.

I had to play on SD last month on Battle Canyon. That map is waaaay too busy on SD, I couldn't distinguish enemies from distance scenery objects. In HD you can pretty much see other people before they can tell you're shooting them.

edit: I was in HD for most of Halo 3 and Reach, but I only recently in the last few months went to widescreen HD. That was another upgrade in visibility.

Also check your PMs once you're not busy with movin'

edit2: went from playing via VGA on a 20" 4:3 monitor at 1024p to 16:9 1080p LCD 23". I got like 3/4ths of my desk back.

Wow, people are so sensitive now.

HaloGAF has had shampoo blood for years.

 

[Franklinator]

Guys I'll finally be able to see Reach in HD when I move. There's some good news.

(For those unaware I've been playing Reach on an SD since release.)

Geez, you're so good in SD that you'll probably be the greatest Halo player ever once you play in HD.

...

i wonder if there is a waypoint thread linking to some of these posts and laughing

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

HNNNNG!

 

[Thagomizer]

So guys what's going on in this OH MY GOD

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I had played UC2 originally in SD. I played it again once I upgraded to a 32"" HDTV, felt like I was about to bust into an Aladdin song

 

[kittens]

top of the page for the 50ppppeasents, maybe! This is all the same shitty page for us 100ppp Masta Race

Heh, that's a bit of a relief.

I don't want to discuss this shit further in this thread. I mean, I do, but I also don't want to derail. If anyone wants to talk about it, feel free to PM me.

Obligatory fuck Prisoner post.

 

[FyreWulff]

Obligatory fuck Prisoner post.

Speaking of which, people should check out "Arrested" on my fileshare. It's a new version of Prisoner that I'm planning on submitting. It's the fixed up spawn version of Prisoner I made with a bunch of changes to make getting to the top really fast so that I could actually submit it, since it doesn't seem either Bungie nor 343 were interested in "re spawned" versions of maps alone.

If I set it up right, that version of Prisoner will try to spawn you on the second floor of the map and should only spawn you on the bottom if it really needs to.

Spoiler

Also because nobody else is going to take a whack at Prisoner

Sure, I'll give it a shot.

Link?

Yeah, keep in mind it's an early version in terms of the geometry I added/changed, and the weapon layout is just something I derped in.

Can't link you, no web shares yet. Just do a custom search ingame by name for my gamertag "FyreWulff" and it'll show my fileshare with the map in it.

edit: fixed like 3 times

Man, I bet most of you guys are a hoot to hang out with in RL.

 

[Computron]

I really want to play Hybrid. I signed up for the beta, haven't gotten my code yet. I would love it if someone were to share.

I has the most fun.

I'm pretty fucking awesome.

I'm going to switch to SD on my 22' monitor jut for kicks. See what it was like in the stone age.

I just noticed that those are cats in Devo's avatar. I feel dumb

 

[FyreWulff]

Jesus christ fuck Prisoner.

Just quitting every time it gets voted in.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I just don't understand the goddamn spawns on Prisoner. There's at least three tiers to that map, but it insists on putting you on the bottom CONSTANTLY. WHY!?

 

[Homeboyd]

OoooOOoh just saw this:

Freelancing

When are you guys doing customs?

Now you know my feelings when I get Heavies.

But yes, Prisoner is junk. Also got Battle Canyon in Super Slayer yesterday, AR starts. All the enemies did was camp around the teleport area and have a power weapon in their hand. What a joke that is. At one point there was two Swords on the map, so add that in to Sniper, Rockets, two Shotguns, and two Grenade Launchers.

As someone who is not that fun to hang out with, I find this offensive.

Thanks. I'll definitely try to make it. Need to play some Reach.

An FFA map forced into team lists..

 

[heckfu]

Well this place has been a delight to catch up on.

Anyone playing tonight?

 

[Bregmann Roche]

Silver lining: none of those weapons suffer from bloom.

This now makes me happy I never got the Square Enix figures, although I really hope they aren't doing all of Noble Team and will focus on Halo 4.

Does it behave like the current variants in that Red side spawns are dramatically favored over Blue? That's one of my biggest issues with the current variants, the entire top blue hallway is completely ignored. I have never spawned, or seen anyone spawn, in that room.

Either way, anything would be an improvement over the awful variants in matchmaking, so I hope it makes it in.

Also, god damn at the shitshow this thread turned into.

Super Jackpot on 2nd game of Super Slayer.

Super!

I think I adjusted that around. (I believe there's a lot more spawns on Red side for Prisoner's base variant) The teams also start inside the second floor hallways of their respective sides, instead of the bottom. So at the start you can decide to immediately go up to the third tier or down to the bottom. I'm playing around with the idea of having the back ramps closed off though for the top, since I want to make hanging around the third tier corners (where the snipers usually spawn) kind of dangerous. Basically if it was a safe spot I stuck more spawns in there, then I weighted all the spawns on the second and third tiers higher than the bottom spawns, but left the bottom spawns there in case every spawn is covered on the upper floors.

Also for the final game of Doubles tonight, me and Devo just played the most stupid team on KotH Zealot. Including such smart moves as hiding around the corner from me.. while i'm standing in the hill. Just gaining time. They tried to play Slayer near the end but even got outslayed by Devo on that front.

So...is this the new Carbine?

 

[zlatko]

Played Reach tonight with my boss from work and a few of his real life buddies. Had a fucking great time. They were all solid, everyone coordinated to call shit out, and they were makin some hilarious jokes.

Hit that 26K jackpot earlier tonight too. First jackpot I think I ever got in Reach.

Almost as good as Conantage.

And then add in the unannounced-but-you-know-they'll-be-on-sale Wii U stuff. Dear lord.

Meh. I'll wait for Bioshock to go on sale on Steam before I buy it. Then for me this fall it's just the WII U probably. Thinking that's going to be my next gen console of course. Well unless Nintendo really does something to screw it up.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

These 2 pics-

Where are these from?

The officially released screens (see above)

Edit* nvm, this one may have been a 'scan' from GI digital.. can't recall if it was officially released or not. The others posted above are all legit though.
