Well fellow Junior members, looks like some of us will have to add a more distinctive personality to our online persona to get a glorious description from Eazy :lol
 
'From best to worst' you say?
I'm almost at the bottom. :( (damn my juniorism! what do I have to do to get some rep around here? strangle a baby?! sure, I'll do that, done it before... lots of them!)
Well at least being a BR guy gets me higher than other Juniors... and Dax. :D

I was wondering why I didn't get that label as I'm a BR whore myself, but I don't think I mentioned that on here. BR's, Snipers, and Stickies to your face! OH MY!

Lotta people I didn't really know anything about but I did my best to judge them on as little info as I could. If I forgot you, just give me a heads up. Didn't include a lot of the really older guys that don't post here anymore/got banned.

That is pretty sweet Eazy.

As always I am playing a lot lately and always ready to play with gaffers...if you are on and need a player hit me up. I'll play anything and am pretty decent at everything.

Edit...fuck best to worst and i am middle ground :(
Don't worry 'bout it.

This is the part where I cry in a dark corner at the shame of my stats. As I've said before I was horrible at H3 initally, been working off my bad stats ever since. I don't understand it either; switching from H2 to H3 caused the halo player inside me to die. :P
It was like I had never played an fps, let alone halo, before.

Sounds pretty clever to me.

Yeah, I never really played Halo 2 outside of the campaign, and I jumped straight into Lone Wolves when I first got Halo 3 so I've got about six months of bad stats underneath my current 'okay' ones. I pretty much exclusively used AR and then one day I just decided that I would use a BR whenever I could. Best decision I ever made
that day

But I am so deeply wounded, Kevin, that you would forget me so quickly. Hell, I even played a few games with you back in the day. I see how it is.

Also, a big FU to you too, Omlet, for that anime crack. :p

Edit: Everyone should get Marvel versus capcom 2, btw.

This should give you some idea:

"His skin and depilated scalp were chrome yellow; the irises of his eyes were gold; [...] In the instant he appeared, he was smiling widely, showing pearly, perfect, perfectly standard teeth. Smiling and waving. But the smile was already fading, and in a moment it was gone, and the sag of his face was like a rubber mask melting. Louis Wu showed his age."
 
awww metroid :( who are you again? j/k j/k j/k i put ur name up there

I don't exist, yay! Oh and "Louis Wu"'s actual name is Claude Errera :p

I heard that in OXM they say the multiplayer for Halo: Reach may be a class-based Battlefield type game. Now that's a lot of may, but if it's true I really don't mind. I love Battlefield games and a Battlefield type game in the Halo Universe would be epic. However, I would also love traditional style Halo gameplay as well. Either way is a win for me. I don't think MLG would care too much for it though. :lol

Holy sh...

OMG I'm FRANKIE

Wait, no, that can't be right. He grew up in GB. 'Perfectly standard teeth'... no way.

Never mind.

Hehe, Therms approves of this. Him and I have been having a lot of debates back and forth on what direction Halo should go (if it should go in a new direction for Reach).

He wants it heavily class-based a la Team Fortress 2 and Battlefield.

I want it more like Call of Duty/Gears 2 (where you choose what weapon and grenades you spawn with). It's been back and forth between us for a while, but I can see where the desire for a class system comes from because of the potential when you consider the Spartans that were there during the Fall of Reach and the diversity of their weapons of choice and how they handled battles. Transferring something like that over to MP would be interesting, to say the least.

We do both agree, however, that the "we have to race for that power weapon now or we're screwed" tactic is getting old and can be really damaging if it's a really good team vs a not so good team (parties in BTB anyone?) and that the underlying basics of "weapons-grenades-and-melee" and its quickness need to stay because that's what makes Halo, Halo.

Spawns need a complete re-do, though. And I wouldn't mind some more beautiful, elaborate animations in first-person a la Killzone 2, but not AS elaborate as Killzone 2 to the point of it taking away from the gameplay itself. :p

I'm really not sure how I'd feel if it was class based. On one hand I'm totally down for something new, on another the Halo formula has been great to me.

One thing I know for sure is I'd like to be able to choose my spawn weapon (BR, SMG, or AR).

I don't know about that. Once you get rid of weapon pickups you make it so that there are no longer any power weapons. At that point it starts to feel like CoD where map control becomes nearly useless and the combat is just the same thing over and over again.

:lol :lol :lol eazy's list

but how could you forget juices he hasn't been gone that long
How long is his ban for?


Oh yeah, and does that comic con thing start at 4:30 (in 5 minutes)?
 
:lol :lol :lol :D @ Eazy's list. List is perfect and awesome. Lack of Juices is disheartening.

:( @ Kevin's list. I'm as junior memberish as Penguins is!
which is slightly less than actual juniors
.



Oh, and older Gundam is fucking awesome. 08th MS Team FTW. This new magical shit ruins a good franchise.
 
The following is an IMHO.

If I wanted to play Battlefield or COD, I would play BF/COD.. and not Halo.. So please keep BF/COD away from my Halo.

There is no point of weapon placements on a map or map movement/control if you can start out with a sniper or rockets.**

**aka, TF2, where you can spawn as Heavy or sniper.
 
Oh, Zeouter posted a link to IGN's live blogging of the comicon thing: link

Guess you have to refresh the page manually. That's one way of getting clicks I suppose...

KevinRo said:
hm Eazy, couldn't you be more biased?? i guess i'm going to have to crate my own list
Are you suggesting there's some objective manner in which to rank you guys? It's better to embrace my bias than to pretend it ain't there.

4:35 - Oh, now they translate. Nothing important. Just standard introductions. She totally digs the Master Chief cos player.
Good to hear Voltron got in
 
EazyB said:
Kinda sheds light on those questions you had earlier about the wording of "Halo World" or whatever. So ODST unlocks things in this Halo World™, eh?

Still don't get it.

Maybe Xbox Live users will have a distinct profile and get a kind of "Halo avatar" for Halo Waypoint, considering the mention of "career system". Getting achievements in the games and doing stuff like that could then give you new gear or more customization options, so you could show off with your awesome Recon helmet to your friends and nemesis alike.
 
OWV compares it in concept to the graphic novel (different stories about different aspects of the Universe).
One of these episodes is two parts, because so big. Basically goes from Reach, it seems, to end of Halo 3 (very like the Animatrix iirc).
 
vhfive said:
i think only 1 month i'm not sure.

EDIT: also im guessing that some of you are following the live blog and will post any meaningful tidbits here
I'm actually heading out in a bit. But looks like Zeouterlimits has it covered.
 
4:33 - Frank O'Connor talking. Head of 343. A preview is coming this fall on Halo Waypoint. After that, early next year, Warner Bros. will release it on DVD and digital formats.
 
While waiting for the liveblog to get going, I jumped into Action Sack for a quick game of CTF Shotties. I have NEVER seen so many people on the other team run into grenades. EVER.

2 Flag Shotties on Orbital

Those of you who've ever played with me will know exactly how ridiculous those stats really are. Playing against guests might get old after a few of these... but one? Heh.
