You got to UGA? Holy shit, me too. If that's the dorm internet, I'm pissed, because when I lived on campus our internet was shiiiiiiiiiit. The campus wireless was/is great, though.

1) When is TGS?
Click to expand...

OCT 9th - 12th

2) Will we get new info in TGS?
Click to expand...
YES - Press conference happens October 9th at noon in Tokyo, which translates to 8 pm (pacific time) on October 8th in the U.S.

3) What is HaloGAF's general consensus on AU2?
Click to expand...
There will never be a consensus.... BUT
I think the grenade radius is exactly the same, think we noticed it because it was the first time we had played on a LAN and aren't used to them(grenades) working so well.

Netcode improvements has given a feeling of perhaps a better BR.

The experience changes (New EXP system) are nice, something new to do.

1. Microsoft has a keynote speech at noon on October 9th, which is actually 11pm EST on October 8th in North America (8PM PST).

2. Pretty sure we will, yes. Bungie is going to be there.

3. Can't speak for everyone, but I like the new experience system per playlist. Other than that, I haven't noticed any other major changes.

4. Not yet. Maybe at TGS

Why is your upload not even close to your download?


I've never seen internet with such a big variation before. :lol

Look at his ISP. All that download speed gets spread around, so it probably gets worse during peek times, and the upload speed is restrictive because colleges don't want people using their internet for torrents or servers or something.
 
Although I was wrong about Bungie announcing Keep it Clean at TGS (still think it's an odd venue to do so), it looks pretty clear they have something to show there. I don't know how popular Halo 3 is over in the land of the rising sun but it seems even less appropriate for them to announce DLC maps there. As much as I want to see the news maps and even more to know when I can get my hands on them, I can't think of a less appropriate place to do it.

But who knows, Microsoft has been doing much better addressing the interests of the Japanese but have also been known for making poor moves over there. And really, why should I complain? I'm not Japanese and just want to see new stuff out of Bungie.
 
Regarding the 7 on 7 achievement, do you need to enter a playlist with EXACTLY 7 EXP? Or can you just go into a playlist with at LEAST 7 EXP?
 
So I played last night, I finally ran someone down in a mongoose and didn't get the achievement for it :(

By the way... Anyone else notice how many fuckin time in the Snipers playlist teams were turning on each other? I had like 4 out of 5 at one point where my team mates started shooting each other. That makes for a shitty night man. So unless I guit, I am guaranteed to lose the match.


The other thing is the freakin quitting, why would you join the snipers playlist then quit? Its not like you dont know what matches your getting..

Bungie should implement a punishment for anything more than 2 betrayals. Its ridiculous already.

Meh, AFAIK, this is the first year Microsoft is actually keynoting (think E3-like keynote) TGS.

On top of that, they have John Schappert keynoting, compared to the usual Xbox Japan Boss who spoke during their small conferences the past couple years.

They will definitely show off a lot of stuff (or at least, more compared to the previous years). It doesn't matter if it's in Japan, the usual US gaming media (GameSpot, IGN, Kotaku, Joystick, Giantbomb, etc.) will all be there as well as the European gaming media
and the Japanese media, obviously.

Announcing, say, a new western-title or new feature for the NXE will have just as much impact and attention than it would if it were announced right here. TGS attracts more news outlets and public people than other venues now since it's still open to the public, afaik.
 
I was playing Squad Battle on Valhalla last week - it was a fairly typical match. Banshees zipping around, lots of AR battles. Suddenly, seemingly at random, I see "Achievement Unlocked" at the bottom of the screen.

It turns out in 620+ multiplayer matches and an entire campaign clear, I had never ONCE earned "Too Close to the Sun:"

I've destroyed plenty of Banshees, I've skyjacked them, and I've piloted them myself lots of times, but apparently that was the first time I had actually destroyed one with the laser or missile pod.

At first I was like o.0 but then I was like :D
 
Should just be the bbcode, right? Mine's not showing up either...

Edit: The bbcode IS in this post... Just no one can see it. It's there VV Right there! VVV

I'm in. Gimme a time and a date. And before yelling occurs, I used the matchmaking thread to no fruition, no one checks that shit.
 
I have Bungie Pro and I don't see the option for "Render to Video," so that must not be up, yet.
 
Kibbles said:
So does this mean the video rendering thing is up now or no?

Looks like it will be a little while before we see that update:

BWU 10/03/08 said:
That year is up for the first subscribers, which makes this a great time to announce a soon-to-arrive feature that we're going to add to Bungie Pro...We're still finalizing quite a few implementation details and trying to determine at what temperature a server melts into a pool of slag that will drip through the datacenter floor. So stay tuned over the next few weeks as we get those last details sorted out. In the mean time, enjoy the Title Update, and keep that great content on your file shares.

Any idea how long it takes for Gamevee to grab a clip? I've had one in my queue all morning :(
Click to expand...
Expect 24-48 hours, the way it's been going lately. I've had one in the can since this morning as well.

Edit: will post Bungie Card from home tonight.
 
B.net looks amazing... And didn't Luke say that more sigs would be up later (customizable ones, too)?

I wanted to use a B.net sig, but the ones they have up now don't look very appealing (does the text look blocky to everyone or is it just my monitor?). I'll stick with Halo3.junk.ws for now. Theirs are rad.

 
I'm blue (on the left) and my opponent is red. This fucker MELEED me from THAT far away. :lol Maybe he had rocket boots on.

Somewhere in the description for the new File Share, it states that all of your content in your File Share is viewable to all players of Halo 3. Is this just in-game or on Bnet as well?
 
Wow. Gamevee is running a lot faster now. The audio is kind of borked, but I'll take it. From last night:

http://www.gamevee.com/viewVideo/Halo_3/GeeVee/I_like_this_gun/998356

Note:

  • I'm at the enemy base.
  • Watch the guy I kill under the man cannon. He's standing, but when he dies his corpse gets launched. Hard to see but it was hilarious in the replay.
  • The last two guys to die actually spawn in while I'm killing the first. Pooor guys. :(

Also, I like turrets.
