The Halo Thread V12: The Last Thread Turned Into A Bridge - Games

[QUOTE=Wickerman123;49325223]You're joking right?[/QUOTE] As far as gameplay goes, yeah. Melee should be risky shit to go for.

True but my experience with knifing in BF4 is horriffic. Gliding through the enemy, playing my animation , while they are free to shoot me in the back as I remove their non existent dogtags. Knifing never worked for me unless it was a stationary, prone sniper. Any other situation something would go horrifically wrong.

Does Facepunch has its own Spartan Company? With the new exclusive commendations, it would be nice to join a company.

Yup, check the top of the OP, below the title image.

Honestly, the way it is in Halo is perfectly fine. You can just beat the guy down from the back but if you REALLY want to and you know you wont be jumped while you're doing it, you can do the assassination animations

I guess I was just unlucky. Knifing never worked for me.

I no-scoped a guy once for doing it and took his rockets. He wasn't happy about it.

You can also just turn off assassinations entirely in the menu.

[QUOTE=milktree;49323921]I always thought assassinations in halo all appeared way too jerky and just looked weird. It would be cool if they were the same speed of deus ex's takedowns but that would probably cause some issues with gameplay[/QUOTE] have you ever animated with animations themselves having a severely limited length this shit hurts to read man stop [QUOTE=Wickerman123;49325589]True but my experience with knifing in BF4 is horriffic.

The knife kills hardly work, but the rest of the game hardly works too :s

Darn, i was a day off. I seriously can't wait to see what everyone makes.

Oh man. Time to make maps. I have so many ideas. I wonder if it's possible to make moving platforms with the scripting tools. Oh man oh man.

Time to revamp that Conquest game cause we finna bring back Forge Wars.

I won't be sleeping until friday. But sadly not due to forge... Got coursework hand ins.. Maybe I'll hold off going home for a few days so I can play with forge.

So can you be on forge with other players still?

Had my first game on Battle Of Noctus today, it was probably the most fun I've ever had in Warzone so far. Especially when most of my team was flying around in the sky destroying everything with Banshees.

Is the new warzone map fun? I find the other ones to be really badly designed Though some of that might be because I find the mode itself to have some pretty bad design choices in it

[QUOTE=Ki11aFTFW;49330722] yes.[/QUOTE] Do you still turn into monitors when flying?

[QUOTE=Tuskin;49332235]Do you still turn into monitors when flying?[/QUOTE] Judging by the sound effects i'm hearing in build mode, I want to say yes.

[QUOTE=KorJax;49332132]Is the new warzone map fun? I find the other ones to be really badly designed Though some of that might be because I find the mode itself to have some pretty bad design choices in it[/QUOTE] If you don't really like the mode in general, don't see why you'd like this one. But it does emphasize vehicle combat more than normal, and separates the infantry and vehicles sections pretty well. So you don't have to be walking along and run into a wraith unless you're in the streets.

That Holiday Social Slayer playlist is fairly decent, comes up with Snipers somewhat often and it does feel like im improving on snapshots a little. I just need to not be greedy with them since being a smart ass with the Sniper just bites me in the ass. Will often just give the other team a fully loaded sniper for no real reason other than being an idiot. Forge feels really alien with that new control scheme.

Hot damn wasn't expecting this. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FHTf6jPsTs[/media]

Reach is now BC on the Xboneeeeeeeee [editline]17th December 2015[/editline] [url]http://news.xbox.com/2015/12/17/xbox-one-backward-compatibility-december/[/url]

Now I need a copy of reach. Digital is $25, Amazon is $30?!?! EBGames doesn't have it listed, but Halo 4 is $5 so I would assume reach would be as well.

But there are some really stupid design choices behind it, such as sniping a boss for the win, the fact that capture zones are massive and require you to clear the entire area to capture, lack of any AI outside of the start of the game and bosses, how whoever captures the center base first gets a massive steamroll advantage and is almost impossible to lose, etc.

There are more small time npc bosses though, and it isn't as much of a steamroll holding the center base.

So my motherboard died and I can't PC game right now, so I figured now was the perfect time to finish a Halo or something. Unfortunately, I didn't finish Halo 2 before it died. Would I be "spoiler"-safe playing Reach?
