[360] Halo Reach: Ghosts of GFF

Yeah, I probably shouldn't have gotten on and played solo this morning. It's all good though, I doubt many of us will be hitting up the Arena with new gametypes on the way.

By the way, if shit goes right Invasion should be up 2PM EST today, fucking be there niggers.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

OH NO, JAGUAR LEADER IS DOWN

Garr, Toku, Skills, fucking AWESOME games despite the fact that we've all been up all day and are absurdly tired. We went 5 wins 4 losses, and that last game man, holy shit. I don't think I've ever played a game where we've managed to hold the open area on top of the office so well for almost the entire match.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

He was probably mad because he didn't wanna punch out there.

I was speaking idiomatically.

OH MY GOD. Invasion Mode. You're the Elites, and you're all PEW PEW PEW with the lasers and the Spartans are all POW POW POW with the rifles, then your bro goes down and you're like FUUUUUUUUUUCK so you stab a Spartan to avenge him and then you hide till he respawns, then you ROLL IN THERE AND BLOW SHIT UP and the Spartans are all OH SHIT NIGGA and grab tanks and shit, but you grab the Comedy Gun and it's all GOOSH GOOSH GOOSH and then BOOM those motherfuckers are dead then you run in and grab the core and it's a fucking epic scene as 6 big ass aliens roll out, surrounded by dead Spartans to motherfucking VICTORY.

(invasion rules)

How ya doing, buddy?

Desert why are you such a busta.

FELIPE NO

Also forgot to mention TEAM ROFFLE SHAKE went 8-3 in Invasion this afternoon.



Would all the posers please leave the room.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

HALO REACH BETA: HOW TO PLAY FREE FOR ALL

STARRING

GARRMONDO (and some other guy)



ROFLFOX (and Garrmondo)

















(Guest starring dead Drakken)



Jam it back in, in the dark.

Man, that game. If you guys get the chance, take a few minutes while you're sitting around eating breakfast or whatever and watch that last Team SWAT match we played from my perspective. It's the wackiest shit I've ever seen. There were at least two occasions where I came across three of them crouched on top of one another peeking around the corner like a bunch of stooges.

It'll also serve as a good introspective into the hilariously backwards playstyle of Roflfox. That way when you're about to ask "Fox what the fuck are you doing" you won't have to, because you'll know.

Shake will you be on in an hour or so? I've been up all night/day with little to no sleep which should make for excellent comedy. And by comedy I mean me dying a lot.

e: Oh my god the sequence of events at :40 in the video is the best thing I've ever done

Props to Daravon and Toku for rendering this shit. Might as well get it uploaded before the Beta ends.

The first one is the looooooooool double melee spree that I won't be able to do in the final once they fix the melee speed:

Second one is this guy failing fantastically with a Jetpack:

and the last one is the Killtacular that Toku rendered in HD (better seen clicking through to YT and selecting the HD option):

YouTube Video

Fake edit: ONE MORE, and probably the best of them all. I can't even describe what the fuck is going on in words but it's from Daravon's perspective in this one match where we were abusing Armor Lock. Apparently I'm Superman now.

LMAO are you fucking serious. I was just going to take off for release night because midnight launch holla holla get dollas, but lord knows I don't have shit better to do with my current get out of work free hours. Maybe I'll do the same.

FUCK YEAH Elite customization. Too bad that armor in the screenshot looks like shit.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Haters gonna hate. Spartans are just lame humans with armor, while Elites are, in the words of Shake himself, "murderous gazelles". Beautiful, murderous gazelles.

Don't be jealous.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I like how that has nothing to do with Spartans being worse than Elites.

(also you're a furry)

FELIPE NO

Hahaha, you lose. Spartans can't be Cheetahs, because then they'd be Cheetah Men.

And there's only one REAL group of Cheetahs in the video game world.



Elites / Cheetah Men > Spartans

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

OH SHIT SPACE BATTLES. I finally got around to watching this. They already had me sold at the beta, so this is all just icing on the cake.

Why isn't it fucking September right now. I am honest to god stoked for this.

How ya doing, buddy?

Hahaha you're gonna be off for this shit too? Ballertasic, I haven't had a chance to play some shit with TEAM BRITISH in a while.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Basically what Daravon said. Also IIRC the Pillar of Autumn was one of the older and slightly outdated UNSC ships remaining in the fleet. They didn't have much left because Covvies were spanking that ass on a regular basis. I'll have to go back through the novels for finer details.

Also they had to get the fuck out of dodge (thus probably giving them less prep time to take all the cool toys) due to the way the whole Reach conflict ends.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Pffff, who needs lasers when the starting pistol was the best weapon in the game.

Halo 2 and Halo 3 pistols

Seriously I have never liked the SMG, why is it always so bad.

(ODST SMG aside, I think they got around to fixing a lot of small gun nitpicks in that)

I was speaking idiomatically.

Got that British crooked eye~

I bet you got outshot by people with BRs a lot in 2/3. I remember the SMG being decent with a good dual-wield combo every now and again but it took forever to down someones shields and kill them with it.

(lol Spraylo)

The only thing that gets me about 'hogs is after a while of not playing I forget which bumper is the RIIIIIIIIIDGE RACER powerslide button and I always end up jumping out and getting us killed on the first attempt.

Maybe they'll include some sort of "History of Halo" deal where they go over the entire series, backgrounds, guns, tech, etc?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Oh is there? I had no idea (or maybe you mentioned it to me and I forgot).

Most amazing jew boots

In the case of Bungie, no. They were constantly updating shit, tweaking, changing around maps and playlists and generally being more active with their community and the game than most developers I've seen with H3. I doubt they'll suddenly turn into lazy assholes just for Reach.

How ya doing, buddy?
