The Halo Thread V8: Nooo Mongoose, Come Back! - Games

Well holy fucking shit. Just beat Halo 2 for the first time, and on Heroic.

Sort of glad I ordered LE at Gamestop, I have plenty of games to trade in to help me pay it off.

[QUOTE=KillerCarrot;38259129]Congrats, but trust me its pretty easy these days to place in the top three for FFA in Reach these days, a lot of people don't seem to know what they're doing, and once you get a sword/shotty, game over almost.[/QUOTE] You're probably right. I got like twenty assassinations on the same people in that game

I seriously think that Spire is the worst Halo map to ever exist. [editline]31st October 2012[/editline] It's alright for Invasion I guess. But slayer on spire can fuck right off.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;38255249]IF anyone wants a helmet for an avatar from any of those armours above I'll make one for you. If you're not a gold member I'll need the max size Blue member avatars can be.[/QUOTE] Can you do me an Operator please?

[QUOTE=Tuskin;38255249]IF anyone wants a helmet for an avatar from any of those armours above I'll make one for you. If you're not a gold member I'll need the max size Blue member avatars can be.[/QUOTE] EVA would be awesome. I think the blue size is 64x64.

Fuck, only a week left and my local gaming store still doesn't have Halo 4 available for pre-order. I'm not even sure if they any bonuses.

so is the Xim Edge the best keyboard to console adapter? i heard in the past that these things can get you banned from Xbox live?

[QUOTE=surfur;38260300]so is the Xim Edge the best keyboard to console adapter? i heard in the past that these things can get you banned from Xbox live?[/QUOTE] It's generally frowned upon to use a keyboard and mouse on console multiplayer.

The only thing I heard you can get banned from is call of duty, which isn't a big lost.

Played a [B]terrible[/B] game of Anniversary Slayer on Prisoner today. Me and some random people against 3 Inheritors, ended up 50-0 (would've been 50-2 if my teammates weren't retarded and betrayed me a couple of times).

Enemy team gets all the competent players, while I get stuck with the people with presumably no thumbs. Fun times.

Happens every 10th multiplayer game

Also XIM is the best by far of any of them.

the xim edge is probably the best one, but i still can't use it. i'm a hardcore twitch shooter and played CAL in CS for years and all that shit so not being able to play like i play FPS games on the PC is way too frustrating for me. you're confined to how fast the console turns, which is pretty fucking slow so i just end up doing worse than i do with a controller

Uploaded all the Helmets I made into Avatars here [url]http://imgur.com/a/798Th#0[/url] They are transparent, the thumbs nails on imgur are just screwed up. All of them are 80x80 for gold members

Yes. Not sure why I like this armor setup so much (Defender), but, I do. Definitely will be the first armor set I'll try to work toward.

Defender reminds me of JFO, which is good.

Hopefully EVA is an easy unlock.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;38264159]Official Multiplayer Stream [url]http://www.twitch.tv/343industries[/url][/QUOTE] Stream has proven that Theater mode is in Halo 4. I'm only mentioning this because I was lurking awhile back and there was alot of talk of no theater mode.

The no theater mode talk was in relation to campaign, not multiplayer.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;38264159]Official Multiplayer Stream [url]http://www.twitch.tv/343industries[/url][/QUOTE] is it just me or does the stream freeze every 3-5 seconds for about 1 second

[QUOTE=Pandamox;38264654]is it just me or does the stream freeze every 3-5 seconds for about 1 second[/QUOTE] I had to drop it to 480p to get it without freezing and lag.

yeah i dropped it to 360p and it stopped freezing. now i just get to watch some guy who's insanely bad at halo

Major Nelson seems to be acting like quite an asshole and being rude to the guys there. Talking over them and having this look of dread and pure annoyance on his face. Kind of kills the joy that the 343i guys are having with all this and the stream.
