We are starting to have spurts of consistence.

Not sure what to think about them tweaking jump height, as discussed. The Beta really turned me off to the floaty jumps of Halo 3. Guess we'll see in Sept.

Well you should be happy because they're tweaking it to function more like Halo 3...


I think he's saying the Beta talked him out of liking the H3 jump height.

We do need a few more inches though (that's what she said)... maybe a foot :-)


Correct & agreed. Just not so floaty.



I think floaty is a good way to describe it. I think it was fine the way it was but if it gets bumped up another foot I don't think it will be that bad. I just don't want it to be like Halo 3.

Hi! <3

Ok finished. Great Podcast. I'd give it a 9/10 because Brian didn't say "That said, ______" a single time.

Anybody consider that it's going so slowly because we are all trying to access it and it's not even supposed to be public yet?

Also, if that is the case, it means it's also slowing down for the employee...he's probably going to just get up and go to Outback for a nice Bloomin Onion and we're gonna all be left sitting here wondering what the heck just happened to our mystery man

Awesome podcast, listening to right now!

Also, noticed the time was 1:17:58 :p

Edit to avoid double post: Tom has a boss?! ZOMG


This blew my mind out my butt. I always thought Achronos was beyond the realm of space, time and bosses. Like the eye of sauron.

Going back to play Halo 3, to ME, it just felt like too much. Memory isn't so good from the decade of abuse to the brain but they said:

CE = 6ft
2/3 = 10ft
Reach = 7ft

I guess a foot wouldn't be so bad, but if I'm going to float my way to the ground, I won't like it so much. Still won't stop me from playing though.

I like the changes to the weapons discussed in the Podcast. Except for the Plasma Launcher. I loved that weapon the way it was. I didn't have as much of a problem evading. Whenever I heard that beep, I was taking cover.

I love the Halo franchise. I bought an Xbox for Halo. Much like I bought an N64 for Goldeneye. I think they have enough story for several more games, but if they keep making the same game, it'll get stale.

Awesome.
I'll listen to this whole thing first chance I get.
Cheers!

i cant listen to it? for some reason the link does nothing and its not on itunes?

Aim smoothing doesn't refer to reticule boom.

It refers to this (aim acceleration).

Make sure someone tells them podcast noobs :D.

Member of team Master Theory.

17th Mythic Conqueror of Halo 3.

If you would like to know more about Mythic difficulty please go to this thread. Thank you.

Please do not send me "recruitment messages" as I'm not interested in joining any groups currently.

Awesome podcast. :-)
I particularly like the way that they're so open with us in regard to weapon and grenade specifics. Who would have thought that 1 point of damage was the tipping point for grenade frustration? I'm also pleased that mobility has been tweaked and Sage is currently applying some much needed love to vehicles.
Can't wait for the next one.

awesome podcast. the AR and vehicles did need a bit of a pump up. i hope that the 1point doesn't destroy what grenades were though. I started getting used to them. I will also miss the "hedgehog prickle" emp that the AL had, but as it's for the purpose of balancing gameplay, i'm up for it.

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

YAY, can't wait to listen.

Seems like they addressed everything that I wanted changed except Invasion. Grenades, melees, certain flag & weapon spawns, and headshots seem to be fixed.Armor Lock was perfect in the beta but oh well. Reticule bloom I guess has a giant luck factor that I can't wait to play out in the game.

I like how they checked stats of Spartans vs. Elites for 4v4 games. I don't believe I heard about Invasion w/l stats. To me it was Elites won Invasion Slayer and Spartans won regular Invasion. Hopefully vehicles will be reliable. I hope that Elites could get some different weapon drops like some human weapons.

Great podcast and good luck Sage on balancing them vehicles.

I love the plasma launcher on sword base, people just need to learn to use it please put it back I got like over 300 kills in the beta with it and didn't even play the whole time because my Xbox broke.
Also You should leave the tracking of the plasma launcher alone if your a idiot and fire where it kills your team that's your problem, the only problem that I found with it betraying teammates was when I had already stuck a enemy with one bolt then then my team would try and steal the kill and melee them and I would only get a betrayal, my suggestion would be to reduce damage around plasma bolts when stuck to a person. Its my new favorite weapon a would really appreciate you reconsidering removing it from sword base and the changes you have made to it.
Thanks
