Yeah because it's still fun in spite of bugs and some awful netcode. Bungie has made some good changes and they're headed in a good direction. Iron Banner is really good this time around. I don't think I'll keep playing Crucible after Iron Banner is over though. When I hit IB rank 5 and get my dumb shader and scout rifle it's back to AW I go.

Had this game almost since release with no issues (except framerate I suppose) and suddenly it started crashing on me every time I try to play it.

Made someone mad enough they started flinging racist and homophobic slurs like they were listing them off a book, after accusing me of being a hacking bitch. I'd say it was a successful night.

To be fair, the TAC-19 with Advanced Rifling, Laser Sight, and Quickdraw Grip is unfair.

you hit tier 2, i still need to play a bunch of games in order to get there.. I think its 50 or so to unlock tier 2 and 200 or so for tier 3?

Any experts want to correct me?

Has there been a secret em1 buff? The game went from no one using it on the ps3 to there being at least 2 people using it per team.

I remember using it and it taking too long to kill but now it's almost instant sometimes.

Plus I love the 100% accurate hip fire.

Did the ones we play not count for you? If so that sucks.

e: 50 for 2, 75 in tier 2 for 3, 100 in 3 for 4.

You should be pretty close to tier 2. Either way, I'll try to be around tonight.

You shut your whore mouth. I look forward to paying �20 for content that even more brazenly the usual, should've shipped with the game that has been cut to use as DLC. While still being gated behind horrendous bullshit. :colbert:

Who am I kidding, I traded it in weeks ago. Annyywwaayyy. I've been lumbering back through the campaign to scoop up the intel, and in retrospect some fun stuff has stuck out on the second round through.

- The drop-pod in the first mission has a screen in the ceiling, and adjusts itself with rockets after being dropped to see the firefight down below. This means they drop troops into battle upside down. :psyduck:

- Your mystery savior during the hospital mission says who they are is classified. After opening his full-face helmet and showing you who he is.

- BADASS EX SPETSNAZ BUDDY wearing a exosuit that flips cars, and ragdolls people ten feet through the air with a punch, starts losing in a fight to a normal dude with just a knife.

- Hades tells you about Iron's EVVILLLL plan despite you having just slashed his throat open.

- You only use that hideous screen-hogging grenade launcher in MP. During SP you throw grenades.

- You and your buddies take a full-body swim in a Arctic glacier. Minus sealed helmets. :stare:

- Atlas has the worst payroll management ever. Due to forgetting that you've turned traitor with your buddies, and taking your name off, you not only survive a hideous bioweapon unscathed, you're assumedly racking up overtime fighting for the enemy. Do you get a performance bonus for killing Irons?

it's really a perfect scenario because if your teammates do pick up tags you win and if they don't pick up tags you can put on a runner build and build up streaks very quickly

Static Rook: Dec 1, 2000; by Lowtax

For the Exo Survival stuff, it looks like you need to get through a certain amount of "rounds" on one tier to unlock the next tier. Hopefully that means the actual rounds / waves in a match. So you need:

50 Rounds on Tier 1 to unlock Tier 2
75 Rounds on Tier 2 to unlock Tier 3
100 Rounds on Tier 3 to unlock Tier 4 (just Riot).

What sucks is your online progress and local progress are separate. I'm about to unlock Tier 3 for local play (I think, hopefully) but if I try to start a new online game I can only pick Tier 1 maps. I usually average about 20 Rounds per game soloing, so if I play a couple more times on Tier 2 maps today I should unlock Tier 3.

So I'm not alone! Yea it's def buffed and really worthwhile now. What are you guys running with? I've been doing stock/quick draw/grip and mostly shooting from the hip cause it's so easy.

I believe that video feed was just showing the view from the bottom of the pod on the ceiling because it would be very hard to look at the floor in those drop harnesses

The point is that it's a gosh darn laser beam and it can only go where you point it and isn't affected by things like spread and distance.

Good point, looking at it again though, it's all one shot. Panning from the ship being blown up above them, then to where they're dropping. So it looks like whatever the camera is attached to is flipped 180 degrees.

Even if the surface they're standing on is the one with the camera, that means the troops themselves somehow entered the pod upside down, because they saw the ship getting blown up in the sky before things corrected and sent them to drop feet-first to the ground. :psyduck:

I guess just the camera itself could also be moving on the pod's outside. Or it could just be a dramatic shot that I'm overthinking far too hard while bored. However I still like my idea of pissed-off upside-down soldiers falling out of drop-pods on the ground though. :colbert:
