Do you have to run the Octopusplexshape plugin to watch the MLG coverage? It's using up all my upstream bandwidth. BS.

Dude, the freaking website won't even prompt me to install this shit now. It did once, and I sat there waiting for a notification to come that it was installing, but never did so I refreshed and now I've been stuck at the "MLG Live Stream loading.." screen for at least 10 minutes. Why the hell didn't they just stick to the way it was last year? It worked perfectly..

... that's why you flank them. Why would you expect anything other than being blown up if you charge a tank head on?

You have barely a 100 kills with the chopper so any attempt at telling me about the chopper will be ignored to a greater magnitude than I ignore all of your other posts. And that's quite the feat.

:lol Flank them? If you rush up to a tank, abandon the chopper and hijack the tank, you technically aren't "beating" the tank with the chopper, just using the chopper to hijack the tank. It's like me rushing up with the mongoose and hijacking a tank or a wraith and saying mongoose beats tank.

Tank can also sport a second person on the turret.

Tank>>>chopper. If you want, we can play a game and I'll prove it you. :p

Read the BWU: Vindictive looks interesting. MM updates are pretty good. Mythic will be required in some playlists next month: cool.

Edit: I'll be on for the rest of the night if anyone wants to hook up.

This media players actually a lot better. Just upgrade your tech skills on your next level up so you can get this shit working.

I think the plugin is a distributed bandwidth deal where the users handle some of the load, I could be wrong though. Sucks cause my ISP has caps now I'm always watching my usage and this thing is uploading a ton of data. Every gig counts now with these greedy ISPs.

The Mythic maps won't be required, but added. So basically they rarely show up.

If they want them played, those maps (not the ones from Double Team, of course) should be added to the Mythic Playlist, which mostly seems to be a Slayer BRs/Multi Flag on Assembly, Slayer on Orbital, and Slayer on Sandbox.

You gotta look at the big picture. Yes a tank can blow up a chopper, and if the game was Tanks vs. Choppers you'd be right. But there's a lot to consider, for example how survivable a vehicle is, how quick it is, and how it can contribute to the bigger picture of winning the match. Now I'm not gonna say the Chopper is better than a tank, but to suggest that since a tank can blow up a chopper = Tank is better is ignoring the Halo sandbox as a whole.

Sorta like maybe kinda sorta insisting that one weapon should totally replace another as a starting weapon similarly ignores part of the Halo sandbox

Which you MLGers are happy to ignore, nothing wrong with that, don't get angry.

I agree that the Sandbox variant should be featured in the MMP playlist unless it was a map specifically designed for that playlist.

I'm not suggesting that in the slightest. The tank is pretty accurate at long range, can turn moderately quickly, can support another person, can better protect its (main) occupant from all sides. Not sure which can take more hits, though.

Don't worry, the stream has always sucked. Atleast you guys weren't around when you had to pay for it, humongous mind fuck.

That still didn't work, but the "starting install process" message did come up, saying if nothing popped up copy/paste the link at the bottom to start it. (Must have missed that the first time. /facepalm) Thanks.
 
Wow, I'm really liking the new Final Boss, they are just wrecking The Incredibles right now. Mackeo was just going off during that CTF match, going +18 and getting an extermination in the first few minutes? Wow.

Nobody on The Incredibles cares though. FB is rocking some killer hair this tournament.

No I was, but I fuckin didn't pay for that shit. Last season, the stream was fine.

Urk, would you please sneak into Shiska's office and turn the real DLC hopper on.

I'll make it worth your while

I remember when I had MadeFromAwesome account I downloaded a boatload of pro videos. After watching all the gameplay the dream team I came up with was Soviet, Mackeo, Ghostayame, and T2. Mackeos BR when its on is just ridiculous yet noone ever mentions it. Just his funny faces. He might be able to pull some good shit on this team though, hes had some trouble finding a team he fits on.

I also don't remember VoD live ever costing money. Just VoD on demand, they had every game archived for your viewing pleasure whenever on demand. I had a free pass and it was sick. I don't even know if they still have the archives?
 
So I just read the Optimatch forum on Bnet.

It's not the playlist, Team Snipers, not having grenades; it's the gametype Team Snipers. Shotty Snipers in the ranked Snipers playlist will still have grenades.

:lol :lol :lol
 
The whole no grenades on Team Snipers is like...

When we wanted BTB changes but instead got 1v1 playlist. Kinda like that we want no radar but instead we got no grenades...which admittedly should have been set like that in the beginning, but I guess one change at a time. Maybe next month we'll get that playlist all fixed up!

Does it still surprise you how bad Shishka is? I mean it's simply incredible. Best of luck to all of you making maps and submitting them to ATLAS.

When is the April update going live?
Click to expand...
It's practically up right now.

Spoiler:
The changes are so minimal and the addition of Mythic maps to the 3 or 4 playlist will come up so rarely that they may as well not be there. The only significant changes are the changes to MLG but I don't think you really care about those.

I'll list every single change we will get to experience once this "update" goes live:

General
• Default Orbital updated to address hiding spots and issue with players killing themselves when they touch the ceiling in the lower base
• Default Sandbox updated to address issue with Rocket Launchers spawning with different timing

Ranked
Team Doubles (Mythic Map Pack added but not required)
• All objective gametypes set to skip after veto

Team Objective
• Team Flag on Smashed removed

Social
Rumble Pit (Mythic Map Pack added but not required)
• Removed Hammerzeit

MLG
• Updated to v6 map variants

Team Snipers
• Grenades removed from Team Snipers gametype
Click to expand...
Everything else is Mythic related and is pretty much negligible. What on that list has you even remotely looking forward to this update?
 
Wouldn't everyone here rather have my list of changes happen than Shishka's?

Do you honestly think the Halo license is the only thing stopping developers from making a FPS of the same caliber as Halo? :lol
 
There seems to be a lot of disdain for Shishka around here. I can't say I argue with that, considering he banned a shit ton of people on the BNet forums back in 2005 because he got butthurt over everyone complaining about the genius idea of Team Duals @ Foundation with the turrets still enabled.

Thank gawd for Taco Bell.

Anyways..., so there is a new Final Boss? o_O I thought they were done, OGRE 2 retired and OGRE 1 went to The Incredibles, correct? Who's on the new Final Boss? I probably won't start watching until ESPN night, then Championship Sunday.

[edit] Ok, I lied. I turned it on for a moment to see how the live stream was doing, and of course they are talking about it. Ogre 2 is still on FB and Ogre 1 did a late comeback to The Incredibles after being in Australia for a while and apparently they will be facing off. The stream is running great for me, but the feed looks odd for some reason. Faruq is awesome, btw.
 
Man that Status Quo and New World Order series was fuckin awesome. And yea Kibbles, I heard Ogre 1 had to come back and play because it's required in his contract.

I was up at 4am watching the end of that series. Fucking crazy how close it ran. Pretty exciting considering its only the first round.

As for Ogre 1, he was the only person on that team that deserved to be there on that stage. His team mates were terrible!! If he has contract obligations, I suggest he tries to fill them with people he didn't pick up off the street!
