Skyrim was announced at TGA and it's one of the highest selling games of all time.
I'm glad we have a release date. I was hoping for an Xbox version shadow drop today, but the 3rd isn't far away!
Ah, yes. Correct.
Completely irrational hype has begun
How many sleeps till tga?
Exactly how I feel. Good to know Ill get some more time with Reach over the next year before Infinite releases.
Awesome. Pretty amazing they're giving away the multiplayer suite for free on XB1 if you own MCC.
I will this to happen, just a solid notification stream on your dashboard for like an hour straight. achievement unlocked...achievement unlocked...achieve.....
Yes, because the achievements are XBL account based and shared between all platforms:
I'll disable achievement notifications for sure, because I don't want to sit through 600 achievement pop-ups.
Love learning speedruns, but LASO... not so much. I attempted a couple of them and then LASO checkpoint sharing was thankfully discovered. Now that the games will be on PC, people will just use trainers, if they actually want to earn those achievements.
Regarding your Halo 2 speedrun. Is Sword flying/cancelling not an option for you? A little tricky to do, I know, but some of the time saves seem very well worth it to get extra time for levels like Gravemind.
In which game and what is the map?
Halo 5. Our Avalanche remake finally made it into MM.
BTB Super Fiesta, Double XP, renamed Sideswipe
I didn't think TGA existed in 2010 and I thought it was announced in like February or January anyway
TGAs is the new name of the VGAs, also yeah it's where Skyrim was announced
dreamhack atlanta starts today, anyone watching? not sure i care much about h3, but i'm interested in the h5 2v2, its a shame that saiyan and trippey aren't playing - was curious to see if they'd win again
I might check it out. Snipedown and Ola are playing again, so that's at least one more interesting team to watch. It's crazy to me that they're still so good they can show up at the last tournament with no practice and come in second.
I think it's great that Halo Reach(and the other Halos are coming to Steam).
Reach was the last Halo I owned when I had my 360.
Now, years later, I just have my pc. And I see that Reach is coming to Steam on December 3rd.

This is awesome. I particularly like how the map isn't at the center of the Halo ring and how you can see red rocks and mountains beyond the map on the ring.
Here's the breakdown by the guy who made it, there are some really cool cinematic shots at the beginning.
I don't know why 343i are initially dragging their feet on crossplay. I realize they said they're working on it on the back end, but it's obvious the community would want campaign and co-op crossplay from the beginning. As for console-PC I think that would work best with input based crossplay like Modern Warfare does it.
As long as they let Xbox players use keyboard and mouse I'm happy.
I really want to play Halo with a mouse again.
I'm that weird who prefers controllers. Have since Halo. Don't care if a mouse is more precise, I vastly prefer shooters with a controller. Let me my mouse for the RTS games.
Controllers are vastly advantageous as of right now with the sticky aim + aim assist.
Doubt controllers are better for Snipers though. Snipers on Eldewrito were dumb as fuck since you could literally no scope across the map pretty easily and consistently.
In PC Reach, yes for the most part. In my experience long range scoped-in is a little tricky with the mouse(no magnetism maybe?), but no-scopes are trivial and you can do them reliably from super far.
(voices rise together from the crowd)
"speech, speech, speech!"
Okay okay, first of all I want to give a huge huge huge thanks to NOKYARD, my partner in crime and beyond a shadow of a doubt my best halo 3 remake co-forging Canadian friend of all time. I had so much fun working on that map and the fact that it came out so awesome has to be a side effect. Hes an awesome dude and really really good at forge. Secondly to some random person whose name I think is AzzaBoy97, the one and only viewer we ever had lol. Over 60+ streams and way too many hours and I think he was there for all of it.
I really am super happy and grateful that Nokalanche got in, and it being my first ever map in matchmaking is awesome. I have almost had maps in matchmaking for 10 years so at this point I didnt think it would ever happen lol. #FreeSmashketball
Shoutout to all the awesome remake forgers I worked with over the years to help get their maps into matchmaking, I finally got one too!
... because I sucker-fished my way into a project with nok, but it still counts.
Oh man, so the most broken thing I've seen so far in the Reach flight is this one forge Invasion map. It's based on the Paradiso island, and elites spawn on offense on these little platforms out in the water in the first stage. In front of these platforms are a hill with a couple needle rifles on them for the on-map precision weapons for that side. Well... if spartans push to that hill and get those needle rifles, the spawn platforms are far enough out that the elites are just totally fucked. Really really fucked.
Yay! Congrats!
Yay! Congrats!
Is Solitary not loading for anyone else? 3/3 times I got it I was kicked to lobby saying connection interrupted.
Edit: 4/4 just checked and the map isn't a custom game option must not be an actual part of the download but is in mm for some reason.

Congrats, it's about damn time these scrubs grace matchmaking with your talent.
In fact, I'm actually kinda mad it took this long.
My fault. When Bravo was in charge he asked me to prep it for the regular BTB playlist. I wanted it to ship with 1 Flag installed, which was nearly ready to deploy. We ran into issues which delayed 1 Flag, and by the time it was ready Bravo had been moved to another department. The next team to be put in charge (rightly) went back to task based playlist updates, rather than adding 1 map at a time.
That Unreal Engine 4 video makes me excited to see multiplayer in the fidelity of the Slipspace engine. Not on a fraud map like Blood Gulch/Valhalla mind you, but a real map like Avalanche/Sidewinder.
If you had to pick 4 classic maps for launch of Halo Infinite what would they be? I'd go with:
BTB:
Avalanche
Longshore
4v4:
Narrows
Damnation

Both of you made a contribution you should be proud of. Especially for map making itself.
Halo is the only when I watch that has this many problems on a regular basis.
I think the networking problems come from the fact that MCC and H5 don't actually have true LAN support. Hopefully this is fixed in Infinite.
It supposedly does, but from what I've read, the implementation is kinda wonky and the pros that have been playing in these H3 events the last year swear it doesn't feel like old H3 LAN.
I haven't tried it myself, so I'll have to take their word for it.
