Enjoy

That I did. Whoever was playing as the Arbiter is now my hero: Fuel Rod Cannon AND Shotgun:awesome:!

[Abdurahman]

That was fuckin awesome!:awesome: Tha scarab got owned. And those bright lights were cool.:iia:

[DaneO'Roo]

holy SHIT nice!

[Con]

very nice!

[ExAm]

Ownage, pure and simple. Sex on a disk. You can't deny this.

[n00b1n8R]

Meh tbh.

so he shot down a phantom?

[Tweek]

yes, but it looks pretty.

[DaneO'Roo]

n00b, I'm getting mighty sick of you lately. Your turning into another Dice >_>

You have no appreciation for anything. While you look at it as a flash of pixels on your screen, we look at it as hard work and dedication, countless amount of time tweaking effects, getting the lighting right, the effects, the guys who sat down for hours on end making it look sexy. All the hardwork that goes into making that stuff, we appreciate.

[n00b1n8R]

I look at it as a game.

a game can be awesome without super slick real time shading, reflections mystical light maps etc if the gameplay is win.

mario.
/thread

[DaneO'Roo]

Yeah, but when there IS mystical silversex win, MOST people appreciate it.


It enhances the game.

If Halo 3 looked like Quake 1, but had the same gameplay, encounters and storyline as it does now, which would you prefer? Do you prefer it to look like it does now, or looking like, comparatively, shit.


As I thought.

[n00b1n8R]

I'd like the pretty one, however if the graphics come at the expense of gameplay (which happens to often), I'd take the quake one kthnx.

Not having played H3 IDK what the gameplay is like.

tbh I don't care that much about graphics.
/herasy.

[DaneO'Roo]

go back to NES emo


also, how the fuck can graphics come at a cost to gameplay?

If the graphics make your PC lag, therefore causing bad gameplay, yet people who run the game fine have great fun gameplay, thats a user problem. Upgrade.

The only way the gameplay of a game can suck, is if the gameplay of a game sucks. Graphics has nothing to do with it.

[n00b1n8R]

gosh, I'm sorry dano. I didn't mean to have an opinion that conflicted with yours :saddowns:

also nes is awesome.

[DaneO'Roo]

It's not opinion when it's not even marginally close to real fact.


If gameplay sucks, because of inferior hardware, thats a user problem.

If the gameplay sucks because the gameplay was made in a way that sucks, that's valid. Try the game on 360 before you make any assumptions.

[n00b1n8R]

way to edit your post while I was still typing mine >__>

all to often, people put emphasis on flashy graphics at the expense good gameplay (dev time gets put too much into one aspect than the other).

some games ballance it well and thier popular and awesome.
some don't and their considerd sexy but fail.
some fail on all counts :3

also I never said anywhere that halo 3's gameplay fails. that would be a stupid thing to say considering I've never played it.

[DaneO'Roo]

K then we agree, you drink aborted monkey fetus.

[n00b1n8R]

K then we agree, you drink aborted monkey fetus.
sorry, did you lack a come back for my post?

if so then you could have just not posted instead of making yourself look like a douche bag :/

[DaneO'Roo]

I did it for teh lulz, n00b. It was a JOKE. I wasn't serious.

[Sever]

Dane, shut up and work on CMT's skins or Retina, n00b1n8r, go do... whatever you do. Seriously, this is getting nowhere, and is NOT amusing.

[Reaper Man]

Reaper Man is not amused. but not rly :3

[Skyline]

*Looks at avatar :awesome: I'm amused.

When has halo ever had crappy gameplay, the multiplayer has always been good even from halo 1 to halo 2 it didn't change to be bad.

Gotta love the Covenant explosions in Halo 3 =D

[SnaFuBAR]

n00b, you seriously need to shut up. You're not a game dev, so you have no idea what you're talking about. Take your theoretical, non-insightful drivel and walk out the door.

Hai now, lets play nice you two >:|

You could have just left it at ":gtfo:" and PM'd him :rolleyes:

[Rosco]

Yea. Halo 3 kinda reminds me of what the vision was they had for Halo 2 but couldn't quite do it because of limitations.

Except now it's better than what they wanted Halo 2 to be. :iia:

[fatso784]

:neckbeard:You can't deny the sheer awesomeness of that vid.

[Huero]

yeah uh
they SAID that <_<
Also, awesome :>

[Rosco]

Yeah uh, I'm sure there's nothing wrong with agreeing. :)

[Huero]

Just stating it, as it was a coincidence and I found it humorous. Don't know why, though.
Must be the sugar.

[MNC]

Not really wanting to make another topic, I'll just barge into this one.

These might be spoilers for the faint of heart.
In a completely different video on Youtube...



It seems Miranda's voice has been changed D: Did the voice actress leave or something?

[PlasbianX]

TBh that didnt look all that special.

They swapped out the original voice actress from Halo 2 with someone different, to give her an accent of some kind. Not having watched any of the videos (I want to save the experience for the release), I don't know which accent it is.

[OmegaDragon]

Wait, since when do brutes have jetpacks?

[Con]

since h3

[LlamaMaster]

TBh that didnt look all that special.
I agree. To me it just looked as if the ship broke down into pre set pieces when it fell. :(

I smell a bucket of hate in this thread :saddowns:

bassically what llama said :/

[Abdurahman]

More like a dump truck.

[Botolf]

Getting 4 friends into campaign for some Phantom trophy hunting... priceless :awesome:

[Rosco]

I agree. To me it just looked as if the ship broke down into pre set pieces when it fell. :(

It must be where the power goes out on it and it just falls because nothing is propelling it? Or someone scripted it to go like that. Maybe from different angles and weapons it blows up in different ways. :cool:

[TIA Gangsta]

Well come to think of it, when it exploded it looked exactly like someone in GoW being blown to pieces, except the parts are alot bigger and purple.

[Pooky]

Meh... it looked good, but personally I don't want some huge-assed pile of phantom wreckage getting in my way. It was irritating enough in Halo 2 when I shot down an Enforcer. And I always thought the dropships being invincible in h1 and h2 changed the gameplay in a good way, you had to hide from them instead of taking them on like a psycho. One thing I wouldn't mind though, is being able to board a phantom or spirit and punch out the turrets... I guess I'll just have to wait and try it.

[Jay2645]

Do you have any idea what a Phantom's guns can do at close range? MC would be dead in seconds if they open fire.
Though boarding one, jumping inside the dropship itself, incite the brutes to charge, and when they do, step out of the way so they go flying 100 feet to the ground or however high you are, and watch as they go splat would be interesting...
But how would you get down? D=

[Warsaw]

Jump. The Mk. VI can take a mile drop to the ground.

[Jay2645]

I thought in one of the novels MC didn't jump because it would cause internal bleeding...
Meh, whatever.

[Warsaw]

Didn't stop Red Team during the Battle of REACH. It also didn't stop what's her face during testing of the Mk. VI.

[Abdurahman]

I thought in one of the novels MC didn't jump because it would cause internal bleeding...
Meh, whatever.


Yeah, but the suits in The Battle Of Reach were Mark Vs, the same as in Halo 1, where you can get fall damage, because the Mark Vs weren't designed for you to fall down long distances. However, as Warsaw said, Mark VIs are designed to be able to survive long drops with no injury at all.

From Halo Wiki:
"The shield system of the suit was more powerful, eliminating both fire and falling damage. It also was stronger and had a faster recharge time, eliminating the risk of injury to some degree during a firefight."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MJOLNIR#Mark_VI

[Con]

fire resistant? D: ghey.

[n00b1n8R]

You haven't played H2 yet?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MJOLNIR#Mark_VII've been meaning to edit that page for a while. There's no way a shield can stop your insides from jangling around and causing internal bleeding.

[Abdurahman]

Cough, cough Well at least fall damage. Well then there has to be an explanation on how he doesnt get hurt.

[n00b1n8R]

not really. he accelerates to a certain speed and he stops really quickly. theirs no way for the shield to "absorb" that impact because you still get the rapid decelleration (wich is essentially what falling and hitting something is).

[Con]

You haven't played H2 yet?
I thought the fire resistance ingame was just lazy tagging. It makes our beloved flamethrower useless when it comes to roasting spartans.

[n00b1n8R]

surely they woudln't have missed something like the fire?

I'm sure you could muck around with it and it'd work >_>
(I hope so D: )

[Terry]

Oh...
I heard before that it was something in his feet that softened his fall...Never knew the shields were responsible for that. I mean, if his shields can withstand great heights, it should be able to take being hit by a ghost amirite?

[Con]

Prolly a combo of armour/shields

[Tweek]

falling damage: your shield could expand to about 2 meters below you, or hoever far is needed to give enough break-time to not-break on the inside, and then contract again, basically providing you with a 2 meter thick cushion.

OH SNAP.

[Warsaw]

There is also an extensive hydrostatic system in the suit to cushion blows.

[TeeKup]

That was awesome.

I'd like a way to do that at will please :awesome:
"oh look, a ghost is coming."
*supa shields*

I allways wonder how the shield can tell the difference between what you want let in (like a gun so you can hold it) and what you want kept out (like a bullet).

[Dal]

In at least 1 of the novels it describes how his palms and feet have nearly no shielding.

[Rosco]

In at least 1 of the novels it describes how his palms and feet have nearly no shielding.

That's his old armour, it's so he can walk and hold weapons lol.

Dunno how it works for the new armour.

[Huero]

In at least 1 of the novels it describes how his palms and feet have nearly no shielding.
No, it explains how he can adjust the shielding on his hands and feet to make it stronger or weaker. :eng101:

[MNC]

Yeah, there was something about Chief sliding off the side of a Covenant Cruiser or something due to his shields :awesome:

[Pooky]

I bet he amplifies the crotch shields abit...

[ImSpartacus]

There is also an extensive hydrostatic system in the suit to cushion blows.

but a mile? u would hit terminal velocity at that point. and the terminal velocity of a half ton stuffed into such an aerodynamic dense mass (vs- high volume object) is fucking fast.

im not enough of a nerd to try to calculate it (u can, lol jk), but at that speed with that mass, its fucking suicide. i dont care if he has some spiffy water cushioning system, its not enough. sure the suit survives, and mc might not have any broken bones (i think that 'virtually indetructable' might get broken in this case anyway), but every tissue based part of his body (organs, muscle, etc) is finished.

[n00b1n8R]

but a mile? u would hit terminal velocity at that point. and the terminal velocity of a one ton stuffed into such an aerodynamic dense mass (vs- high volume object) is fucking fast.

ftfy :eng101:

Partially wrong.

If the potential energy of an object is completely converted into kinetic energy, which means reaching it's final velocity, the mass doesn't matter.

m*g*h=1/2*m*v^2
E.pot-----E.kin

If you want to get the velocity (v) you can erase the both "m" on each side.

So in a vacuum MC and a feather and a stone fall at the same speed. :)

[Rosco]

The guy owned a phantom.

That was pretty awesome :D

[Jay2645]

All objects fall at the same speed, but when you put in air resistance and any friction, they fall considerably slower. This was proved in one of the 1960's Apollo missions, where they dropped a feather and a brick (Or something heavy, I forgot exactly what).

[Pooky]

No friction in a vacuum son :\

[n00b1n8R]

no air friction.

how can you hold something in space if there's no friction?

[Patrickssj6]

no air friction.

how can you hold something in space if there's no friction?
Everything moves in space...slowly...also because of the gravitational force of all the surrounding masses >.>

Isn't that obvious?

[n00b1n8R]

so an astronaught holding onto a screwdriver in space is doing so "with his gravity"?
why doesn't the screwdriver drift over the the space station instead? or better yet, down to earth?

it's held their by friction.

[ExAm]

No AIR friction, because there's no AIR. Durr.

[Pooky]

guys, I was talking about air friction in the first place :|

[n00b1n8R]

you said:


No friction in a vacuum son :\

not air friction, friction.

I just corrected you by saying "air friction" and pointing out that friction clearly exists in a vaccum.

[ExAm]

No one ever said it didn't.

[n00b1n8R]

Pooky said "no friction in a vaccum son", not "no air friction in a vaccum sun".

so yer, he did.

[Flyboy]

There would be air friction in the Apollo. Why. Because if there wasn't any air friction, there would be no air, and our astronauts would have a pretty hard time living with no air.

What you idiots are thinking of is gravity. Without gravity the feather, nor the brick would fall, causing no friction. Meaning Jay's claim is a load of shit. (No offense jay. Homies for like dog)

[Pooky]

Pooky said "no friction in a vaccum son", not "no air friction in a vaccum sun".

so yer, he did.

You're kind of making yourself look stupid if you can't infer what I meant :|

It's all in the context.

[ShadowCloud]

Man, that phantom got owned bad.

[ExAm]

Pooky said "no friction in a vaccum son", not "no air friction in a vaccum sun".

so yer, he did.Of course he didn't mean it that way, so technically no one said that there's no friction in a vacuum.

[n00b1n8R]

taken literally, that's exactly what he said.
I was being pedantic. so shoot me :suicide:

[Kornman00]

How many more tangents must this thread take on?

On that note, let me continue one...

no air resistance.
ftfy. Am I the only one who took physics here (let alone, remembered half of it)?

friction: "surface resistance to relative motion, as of a body sliding or rolling."
