I'm 100% serious when I say I like it. I hope we can still be friends.

I'm your friend? :'_)

 

[xxjuicesxx]

100 BPR, beat that.

Shittt thats pretty high, do you know that WalshE guy?

 

[Overdoziz]

Isn't he that guy who desperately wants to go pro together with his twinbrother?

 

[Rand0m TAG]

How do they calculate bpr? In one account I have 66, in another I have 92

If you're good you have 100, if not you suck.

Its not that I really care about it but Arena could have been a system people care about. Its the only playlist-place that caters to the competitive crowd by using matchmaking to do what its actually supposed to do, give players closer skilled oppoenents and teammates. Every other playlist is completely randomized.

First problem was Shishka, OK NinjaOnFire. Whatever, whoever. Gave the first seasons Arena AA's and AR's. Shit that is generally accepted as noob garbage, especially competitive players with positive kill.deaths. Sure theres some competitive nerds who adapt and jetpack up to hidden rocks and get 1% Onyx and have each game mapped out to the tee. The bad settings meant the first seasons ranks were useless, it also drained tons of interest in the Arena. Followed by the fact the seasons went so quick.

Second problem was the individuality ranking instead of win.loss. This meant people on winning teams were competing for kills instead of actively using good teamwork and bailing when they are one shot they would rather take the chance at a kill. Stuff like that so on and so forth. Another huge outcome of this was you couldn't have any objective gametypes in Arena. Such a stupid idea. Especially considering they had the win.loss settings already in the game but didn't switch over until later.

Yes, yes, and yes.

One of my issues with current gen Halo campaigns is that by the end of a level I don't feel like I've killed nearly as many enemies as I should have. I'm never satiated, they just go by so fast. Halo CE's levels felt like little self-contained adventures that went on forever and gave you a shitton of enemies to kill. Fuck repetitive forerunner corridors complaints.

Oh look, a fourth yes!

Also, I liked the Library a ton. It was a nice test of shooting efficiency (accuracy, choice of target, and grenade usage) and weapon selection. I enjoyed it because the weapon settings allowed me to enjoy it (something that didn't happen for me in the next 4 campaigns if i include ODST), and not because I was waiting for some special scripted event or cool level gimmick (oh look this part of the level is blue instead of green) to move me. It also annoys me a little when people criticize the repititious level design in Combat Evolved whilst ignoring how perfectly Bungie nailed the weapons settings in the game (a far more important foundation to enjoying a game, especially for replay value). The tour through the level by guilty spark was fascinating and terrifying at the same time. I did not find it nearly as offensive as others. I thought it fit well within the campaign story. Great stuff.

GG guys on reach and Halo 3.

Robbert's apparent difficulty with time keeping was hilarious! <3

No, that's Mustache Marvin 1 and 2.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Mine's only 76.

 

[Aggrotek]

If you're good you have 100, if not you suck.

The 1-50 mindset.

No, that's Mustache Marvin 1 and 2.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

I heard Elzar loves Countdown

Tell 'em FU from me.

Say Hi, and FU from me too.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?

ViewtifulJC you scoundrel! Lol.

Spoiler

I actually like condemned.

You guys are backward.

6.30 is called ''half'' seven in Holland, as it should be. Not half 6. That's just crazy.

 

[Tawpgun]

Countdown ain't even that bad. I'd widen the doorways, put in some geometry to help with some map movement, and its fixed.

Only big issue I have over it is no visual cues for red side or blue side. Forge lights would fix that, but its never going to happen. A fix that simple? Pshh...

 

[heckfu]

We have a beardist in the building

You've seen pictures. You know I'm clearly qualified to judge.

Forge lights drop framerate. Basically nobody should ever waste time putting lights on a map. There's a better use for that 500$ of Forgebux. And they don't render very far away or at all in 4 split. (They didn't even cast light in Halo 3 in splitscreen)

On a map like countdown? I've played on a lit countdown. No frame drops.

Guys, I should have said please

This makes no god damned sense!

Did you play it splitscreen? 343 deletes filters from submitted maps because of framerate drops, let alone lights.

Although yes, it's puzzling why both sides were colored the same.

Wouldn't it be 6 and a half

At least they numbered what floor your on

 

[CyReN]

Pretty obvious they would have gameplay at E3, I just want to see at least 3 minutes of a mp match uncut.

Pretty sure lights don't show up in splitscreen.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Filters NEVER look good.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

very true. If they don't get their fix they start kicking people!

 

[Tha Robbertster]

6 and a half would be half 7 when you translate it from Dutch, but in English, it's half 6 for some reason.

I never heard of half 6. Sounds dumb.

 

[Kuroyume]

The Library is the closest thing in Halo to classic Doom like gameplay. If you don't like that then... Whatever, I don't know. You're entitled to your bad opinions.

 

[FyreWulff]

I think I had a good combination to make this map look surreal while remaining visible for playing.

I just went ahead and deleted them myself before resubmitting the map though..

Library was shit. Sorry, it's nothing but repetitive BS. You can like "classic" games all you want, but wanting to keep shit game mechanics like that deserves a hot iron to the nuts.

Yep, I always thought it was throwback to those games, I actually quite like it's intensity.

[bobs...onGaf]

Why in the world would anyone want that kind of gameplay after levels like The Silent Cartographer and the outdoor parts of Assualt on the Control room?

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Where are you from?

Some backward ass country I bet.

 

[Rand0m TAG]

Where are you from?

Canada

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Canada

Bagged milk and black flies. *shiver*

Thats about the best you can get it looking, still not a fan of ow washed out and dark things look.

I played a new zombie map "deep space 9" i think it was that had a filter. gtfo please

I like it for this reason only. It's really frantic and run and gun.

Bagged milk is awesome. So is hockey, tim hortons and poutine

 

[Tha Robbertster]

Canada

Hmm, any other Canadians here who don't say half 6?

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Bagged milk is awesome. So is hockey, tim hortons and poutine

I agree, but if Canada is so awesome why does the majority of the population live near the U.S border?



Also, everyone knows French Canada is best Canada.

no u (I submitted that one, made by MrGreenWithAGun)

I also put filters on Downlinked, but people don't seem to actually notice them. They're too busy having fun looking at the spawn camera.

Also, was this Super Jackpot Weekend in ALL of FF MM or just 4 man?

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Half 7 is 3.5

You are on a mission here aren't you?

I'm from French Canada. Whose to say it isn't the other way around. Americans want to live near the Canadian border

 

[Kuroyume]

Well, it's just one level. It's a nice change of pace and I prefer it over the on rail or shooter sections that were in Reach's campaign and which pop up in other FPS titles.

The spawn camera on Deep space 9 was great, the map was .. okay, the filter ruined it

ZaneZavin reports on HBO that the win bonus in TO makes it have higher payouts than Firefight (if you win)

It's currently holding 700-800 right now
