And I also have to reemphasize my hatred for Standoff. Commanding the Warthog(s) pretty much means that you win the match. My team was down by 15 kills at one point but after we destroyed theirs and jumped in ours, we won by 4 kills. I personally hate driving/shooting. I'd much rather be on foot and take out the guys who are hiding/laser the other Warthog.

Is all the equipment Covenant design? I know deployable cover is, but what about bubble shields and flares and all that?

Bubble Shield and Trip Mine are human developed equipment. I think the Regenerator may be as well. The rest is Covenant technology.

 

[Tashi]

well at least I'm not all hyped about this new Bungie game on the Friday update. Good thing its another "worst update ever"

You sure? I was under the impression it was all Covenant, or at least all Brute, technology. We never see humans using equipment, and the brutes use it constantly - I'd think that is a pretty good indicator that they developed them.

I am taking "worst Update ever" to terrifying new places.

Looking forward to penis jokes about the word Microsoft and endless Mattrick 'shops.

I've had both good and bad games in Standoff. Standoff has many things to help deal with Warthogs: Laser, Rockets, Stickies, Plasma Pistols and Turret. It would still be nice if the Warthog spawns got longer for Team Slayer, I remember one game where the Warthog spawned waaaaay too many times in one match.

 

[FFChris]

Poor social groups, I felt really bad for these guys today.

This couldn't have been much fun.

 

[Wiggum2007]

I like how despite all their super-advanced technology the forerunners couldn't manage to create a simple flare smaller than a beach ball

You're nothing cause you got no internet. You may as well not exist.

Oh, I don't mean for lols, I mean for sad.

Hmmm, well the point still stands even if it is a bit less absurd then if it was forerunner... just imagining a Brute running around with a giant beachball sized flashbang around his belt.

Worlds do exist where fiction and gameplay simply don't align as neatly as it folks may like--and in those cases, certainly in multiplayer, we'll gladly err on the side of gameplay.

We all like to imagine Brutes running around with giant beachball sized things around their belts. ooh la la.

Doh, I was hoping for something interesting. I wasn't expecting info about your next project, but some pot shots at Microsoft for canceling your reveal and then casually letting the cat out of the bag that you're working on a Halo project would have been nice.

Maybe, just maybe, some hints about when you might be revealing the project.

Still, I think after the fiasco you should let us know whatever you can about it instead of your usual cock tease. My balls are blue enough.

Oh yah, I fully understand why they are how they are, I just have a little laugh every time I come across a flare.

I'm already heartbroken!

Can you confirm that PAX will still be off the heazy?

^ This.

MS could pull whatever may or may not be happening at PAX as well, so what does Luke confirming anything get you?

I think you might have Eazy confused with someone that actually gets you kills while you are on the turret and doesn't just drive around at the back of your base

 

[fin]

Anyone going to be on tonight? I feel like getting some good games in tonight.

I'm planning on playing all night. It's almost been a week since I last played some H3.

Ram has a plethora of medals including an untouchable because of said driver.

And should you really be talking. The last time I rode with you you ran us straight into the base, flipped us, ran away then quit the game...

I feel like an asshole now

I'mma be in Seattle this whole weekend so no Halo for me. Maybe I'll give my father a call and he can swing me by Bungie HQ to check the doorknob.

Will you pose with Jerome considering that's his thing?

 

[GhaleonEB]

Hi guys.

 

[Numbers]

Hi guys.

YOU did it, didn't you?

 

[GhaleonEB]

Yes.

 

[Kibbles]

Bungie had 60-second teaser planned, plus a media event to show off the game.

Sadness.

 

[backflip10019]

Grifball anyone? msg me.

Edit: Fuck Grifball, that shit is laggy. Any other Halo anyone?

Man, that really really blows. Here's hoping that PAX surprises don't get shelved too.

I have a bad feeling that the PAX thing is canceled too, that's the the 'sad' news in the update.

Yep. I spent $800 on that trip primarily due to Bungie's presence there and potential surprises. Now its not gonna be as great.

 

[MirageDwarf]

If game is not unveiled by PAX, I don't think you will see anything from this game.

Yup, if it's not shown off at PAX then this game is cancelled!

[GhaleonEB]

Yeah.

Still, hopefully the fanfest is still on, new game or no. I'll be there either way.

What a strange position for Bungie to be in.
