does anyone else feel that certain duel combos should be more powerful than the ar?

Keep HaloGAFing, HaloGAF.

 

[godhandiscen]

nvm

 

[GhaleonEB]

You... How could you... Why...

No.

The fact is, juices opinions are facts, to him. Nothing wrong with that. Just remember that the world juices lives in is an isolated, angry one. Every time a BR bullet spreads away from the center of the targeting reticle, he sheds a tear. I'm assuming he drinks a lot of water.

Also, awesome stick Falagard. :lol

does anyone else feel that certain duel combos should be more powerful than the ar?

They are. The SMG is about as powerful as the AR, so two at close range is much more powerful. And at close range they just destroy the BR.

Eazy, I think the problem is you didn't link to anything.

 

[backflip10019]

I love the SMG. It has the appropriate range that a starting weapon should and meshes perfectly together with a BR.

Wow, this might be old or posted here before but it contains some interesting information. Seems like Bungie is moving to a new location...

Finally, Bungie told the paper that they are in the midst of relocating their offices to downtown Bellevue, Washington. The new offices would be located in the 80,000-square-foot former Galleria multiplex theater

-Thats from a Kotaku article describing the newspaper article

The studio hopes to move into the 80,000-square-foot space in January, giving up the 24,000-square-foot bunker and an additional 17,000 feet of offices in a nearby building.

 

[Willeth]

Eazy: I think it's your apostrophes. You're using some arcane apostrophe that's not part of the standard character set.

If you need to copy paste one, there's a few peppered throughout this post.

Its not an opinion its fact, H2 gameplay is better than H3. H3 is a sham product developed by some shitty corporation to sell more than its previous product, a direct result of our capitalistic culture. Dumb everything down and make us all cardboard cutouts. Go away I'm batin'

I don't see one. A suggestion: try editing a post you've made at bungie.net a while ago (similar to that one) and post various chunks of that to try and pin down what it's objecting to. (I'm assuming/hoping the same system wouldn't let you edit it in.)

Edit: I see it might have been solved!

I'm guessing it's because of the "–". Try using only "-" (you are using both).

The fact is, dax's opinions are facts, to him. Nothing wrong with that. Just remember that the world dax lives in is an isolated, nerdy one. Every time an AR bullet spreads into the center of the targeting reticle, he sheds a tear of joy. I'm assuming his nose is a vagina.

It's amazing how you change the name and a few letters and this paragraph still makes sense!

So moving from an ex-hardware store to an ex-theatre? That seems like it would need even more renovation than the current studio :lol

 

[Butane123]

Eazy, did you use MS Word to type it all up and then try to paste it in the text field?

If so...

-Open Word.
-Copy and paste your text into Word.
-File > Save As.
-Change "Save As Type" to "Plain Text".
-Click "Save".
-Change "Text Encoding" from "Windows (Default)" to "Other Encoding".
-In the encoding list, select "IBM Latin-1".
-Click "OK".
-Close Word and re-open the document you just saved to see the changes.

If you want to copy and paste from a text editor, it needs to be a very simple one (notepad) or you'll get unicode errors every time.

Eh, I tried the current suggestions and it's still not working. I also can't seem to find out how to edit posts on Bnet. Maybe it's because I rarely ever post there and you can't edit really old posts or something. I'mma just find some dark corner for their forum to test it out by making new posts

Don't make this about me. Make it about you!

 

[Butane123]

Ah screw it, I found an easier way to strip unicode from it.

http://cavx.bungiefans.org/unicode/index.php

Copy and paste whatever you got into that.

Try both Willeth's suggestion and mine. I think that'll do it.

Both the apostrophe "’" and long stroke "–" get errors for me. So switch all of them for the regular apotrophe and minus key respectively.

 

[Striker]

Maybe ATLAS will have another "theme" filled with CTF, Bomb, KotH, and Oddball so there can be maps added for a new rotation in a Skirmish based playlist. I would force the maps to be qualified for Team Slayer as well. That way, the maps can be used for Team Slayer as well as CTF, Bomb, etc., and, plus there's always possibility of Sniper and SWAT variants.

*GASP*

Maybe he'll have two themes and have some ground based maps added to Squad Battle (Ghaleon's Entrenched map, for example, and I'm sure there's others). Are these difficult ideas?

Your nose can be a human vagina, too, you know.

Thanks, that worked.

BTW I used your submission as a guide for mine so if Ber Ber doesn't get into matchmaking it's your fault.

Lolwut? Are we in the Alpha quadrant with multiple humanoids or something?

Easy, is your weapons list for only one base? You have Ber Ber Creek as only having 2 BRs. Doesn't Beaver Creek have at least 4 (two in each base)?

IIRC the only BRs were the BRs in the basement of each base.

you look away for the thread for a couple hours and shit goes down. never change halogaf never change.

showed my love for ber ber, everyone should do the same

 

[Grimm Fandango]

I'm writing my endorsement for Ber Ber but I forgot the flag gametype we usually played on it with very quick return times. "classic ctf" was it?

when i was party lead it in fact was classic ctf. i whipped it up one custom game night.
it had 5 sec return times with br primary smg secondary.

 

[Striker]

There should be more CTF and Assault variants for maps from Sandbox, and even others. I can't see why it hasn't been brought up for serious changes.

Anyone know of a place where the new ODST music that was in the 7/7 podcast is put into its own seperate audio file? If not, could someone do that and upload to YouTube? I'm getting pissed by having to rewind to the 13 minute mark everytime in the podcast.

The special guests are Microsoft wraiths. They'll behave for most of the broadcast, but then somebody will foolishly bring up the whole separation thing. They'll squeal so loud that the microphones will break, and no one on the broadcast will be heard from again.

Pack some mithril undies, Frankie.

Is this being showed live via video or audio? This is something I want to watch.

IIRC the only BRs were the BRs in the basement of each base.

I guess you ran out of budget for more. I know the original had 4 BRs. This could be a problem if it makes it into MM with AR starts.

Also, I just went from a 33 to a 38 in Team Snipers. Then Standoff came up. I went +9 with 3 deaths... my teammates went -28... WTF? How the hell can you be so bad at snipers if you are in the mid/upper 30's in Snipers? Fuck. Now I'm down to 36.
