  1. How about some items and wishes that are within the realm of possability? Cant stand reading half of the useless idiotic wishes in this thread.
  2. Infamous has a long way to go before it reaches Super Mario quality. In terms of graphics, lighting and shaders, Cryengine simply cannot be beat. With CoD, I could care less how efficient or polished the console version ends up being. That image is likely a dev system render anyway...meaning PC. PC is all I care about, and quite frankly, the PC platform has no worries in the render or computing category for the title.

  4. This is not the official 343Indiustries website. Thought that was apparent with the "Community Forum" banner under the logo up there....guess not. You want Halowaypoint to address this.
  5. ^^ BANNED for having to edit your post with proper punctuation.
  6. Here's a novel idea. Let's focus on true cannon and set Halo 5 back on Harvest. Let's play through the insurgents with Red and Blue team. Halo has so much potential, but instead, we stick with the old Covie vs UNSC, with a dash of third party (flood, forerunner). For that matter, can we please have a Halo game that doesnt start off with a Covenant ship boarding party, of Chief crashing into something? It gets old fast...
  7. Why would I want to.see another misleading trailer, that is fully rendered CGI cinematics? Halo 4's trailer was not engine rendered, which we all found out once we got to play the game and saw that the amount of detail wasnt there. Not to mention the horrible lighting. For that matter, just to educate you guys a bit. The opening, Librarian, ending and prologue, were not rendered ingame. They are BIK video files externally located on the root of the maps folder. Further, the cinematics, or at least half of them, are embedded BIK videos in the tag resources. At least with Halo 2 and 3, we had actual true cinematics rendered by the engine.
  8. Hey man, it was damn good find. It may not have actually been the Transformers, but it takes a damn good eye to corrolate something like that on a level that is always moving quickly. If it hadnt been for your curiosity, I would have never gone into the level.structure and found those awesome spots. Kudos to you my friend!
  9. You know what they could do for me? How about getting their proverbial modeling asses in gear, and make the Spartans look like Spartans again, instead of these horrible Evangelion looking pieces of **** they call Spartan IV's! On top of that, let's be real here 343i, when are you gonna quit being so lazy on the engine side of things? Real time reflections? Nope. Bungie did it back in 1999 on Legacy hardware running DX9a for christ sake! And what do we have with DX9c/SlimDX and DX11?!? Cubemaps?!?!? Come the **** on! I can tell you this much, unless they shift their art design MM focus to more closely match cannon Halo and the experience of Halo 2/3, well....the ship is gonna sink fast. Nooooooo, lets not innovate the engine and experience to look more realistic. Lets not create something as immersive, that made Halo popular....no. lets immitate other FPS titles...that will surely win. FAIL. Im callin it even before we see a lame full CGI trailer. I swear to holy Twam, if I see one frame of footage that isnt fully ingame rendered, im gonna destroy every bit of Halo that I have residing on my HDD. Coming from me, that says a lot considering I have 13+ years of Halo.created content that I still make even today. ****! Now im in a worse mood than when I came to this thread.
  10. Id be on board to help a bit, but it all depends on what you had in mind. Before deciding on Unity, you should first carefully list out the features in detail, that you hope to include, as well as any foreseeable changes or additions. When choosing a platform and engine, you need to weigh the pros and cons, as well as scaleability.
  11. Oh, Catastrophe - Crown The Empire
  12. Not ringing any bells here. Have we argued before?
  13. I remember it well. Got the first one on Christmas 1989. Good times man. Only game I got with it was Tetris. Played the **** out of that. Had to wait till my birthday the following 6 months until I got Basball and some Bugs Bunny game. Yeah it was lame, my parents did let me get Mortal Kombat when it hit later in the 90's, but man, nothing compares to that oversized hunk of plastic. I think my brother may still have one in a drawer somewhere next to his original NES.
  14. First off, think of where this is coming from. Deviant Art, or as I like to call it, "Fan Boy wanna be artist who uses Photoshop to manipulate **** art into cool stuff so STFUOMFG"- Ville. Sites like Deviant Art have become nothing more than self righteous sess-pools of "Better than everyone" artists. My big point is, if your still on sites like Deviant Art and not making a serious living off your ****, then get the **** over yourself, you suck at art then!. I'm not saying this is you Sniper, I'm just trying to give you a little perspective as someone who was around on the internet well before anything past 27kbps dialup, and sites like Deviant Art. Forget about them. If you want to get your art out there and promoted, look no further than Youtube and hosting your own site. You'd be better off.
  15. You didn't find Optimus Prime or Megatron. Due to the geometry and it's multi angular look, it can sometimes fool you into thinking you see something. I just went through every bsp on m90_sacrifice.map, and I only found two distinct instances in where the geometry or bitmaps could lead you to think your seeing a Transformers face. here are the 2 screenshots from the bsp's... Additionally, I find no tag or bitmap referrence or any images that could be consrued as Transformers. Sorry to dissapoint you my friend.
  16. Yes but it also that MLG gametype that spawned the whole " MLG is the only thing that matters" and "MLG is better than everyone" mentalities. Not saying the entire population had that feeling, but the number of legitimate MLG players who were not stuck up are the minority.
  17. Listening to "The Last Time" by Taylor Swift ft. Gary Lightbox. So depressing I'm just sitting here crying my eyes out. This goes out to you know who, you know where.

    1. Silent Orbis

      Silent Orbis

      Yeah... I hope things straighten up. :(

  18. Favorite gametype for Halo 3 huh? Toss up between Action Sack and the Juggernaut variant that had you driving a coarse to reach and kill the Juggy.
  19. ODST had the best campaign of any Halo title. It didnt have a multiplayer feature standalone, outside of Firefight. In retrospect, FF in ODST is far superior to that of it's second incarnation in Reach. And what is stale or non innovative about CoD and BF? I have never heard those comments thrown around, outside Halo themed forums....which by mentioning that, seems a bit biased on your part. Forums for BF and CoD would say the same things about Halo, except in this case they would be correct, given the large amount of feedback we hqve seen on our own forum. In any case, what 343i needs to do os, NOT LISTEN to our silly ideas, and NOT emulate aspects of other FPS. This forum alone has proven how unreliable and downright retarded the community is. They'd be better off listening to brainded sloth's.
  20. Or successfully construct a method to distort and compress space around a vessel, allowing warp variation travel at 27 times the spped of light. Anything of less faster design would result in a generation journey.
  21. Someone check with Hell's Electric bill balance, cause Hell just froze over! Yup, I'm posting up a pic of myself for the time capsule. Please save all swooning and attempts to hit on me to a minimum. Thanks!

  22. The probem is, Bungie and 343 thought that we would all be mature enough to handle friendly fire being turned off. Big mistake! Especially when you combine standard gameplay with the exceptional long list of game type commendations. The commendation system in a way, turned MM into a free for all, forcing players to have to backstab teammates, just to afford opportunities to get the commendations. This is why the Rank system of Halo 2 worked so well. It promoted teamwork to level up outside of Rumble Pit. Now, we have Rumble Pit mentality on team based objectives, just so you can get ahead on your own service record.
  23. The betrayal system is tricky. Basically, if the game indicates the player action is in response to a certain proximity of an enemy, the game disregards it as a mistake. I am unsure as the actual distance needed to specify an accident, but as Im quite sure you found out, when you betray your teammate and no enemy is anywhere near you, you can be booted. Best advice I can give you is to file a feedback report to minimize any future chances of being paired with the player. The betrayal system is not perfect, nor is there ever going to be a perfect one.
  24. Agreed. But after the transition between Bungie and 343, Microsoft likely opted to get another Halo game out, rather than risk losing clientel to Sony if they delayed releases until Xbox One was ready. In a way, they kinda picked the lesser of two evils. Getting Halo 4 out of the way early also allowed MS Game Studios to really be able to focus on Halo 5, and other sequels.
