News

Sorry for the day late post guys, I have finals and projects that are swamping my schedule at the moment. Well anyways, this week was a slow week again with only a few Front Page worthy posts.

Our buddy Bill made a nice mini montage of the few clips he had captured. It's pretty interesting, so I recommend checking it out!

Also, I must apologize to Mister Hipster for over looking his no shot speedrun last week. So here's the ones from this week and last week!

Sorry guys, that's all I found interesting this week, be sure to submit some FP worthy stuff in the submissions thread! See you next week!

So it's a slow news week this week guys, not much happening around the site but we did have a couple video releases!

In the jumping world Epic brought us a nice, and very unexpected video title "the Speed of Light." I rather enjoyed this video as well as many of the other members, so if you have yet to see it I recommend you give it a watch and leave them some feedback!

We don't have much going on in the tricking world this week besides a tutorial from Physics Remastered. A much needed tutorial as well seeing as I have always wondered how people got out of the space area on Long Night of Solace. If you have ever been curious about how to do that then check out the link! Also, it's not just a text tutorial so it is much more enjoyable than usual :P.

Not to toot my own horn but in the past week I whipped up a Skyrim machinima video in which I mixed Skyrim gameplay with Call of Duty HUD elements, kill streaks and some audio. Check out that sexy Dragon Airstrike!

Well that's it for this week guys, and if you want to talk about building PCs or buying laptops then, head over to Open Chat because that seems to be the only thing you people talk about these days! Hell back in my day we drew paintings on cave walls to watch youtube videos and read forums!

What's so important about November 6th you ask? Well, here in America that is the day we get to vote for our next President! Hell yeah! I strongly suggest that all of you who live in America and are of legal age, to vote for who will be president!

Ahhhh who am I kidding, we're fucked no matter who becomes president. The real significance of November 6th is that is the official release date of Halo 4! Can I get a hallelujah? In celebration of this momentous occasion, the boys over at Rooster Teeth whipped up a Red vs Blue short about it! You can check that out here. Also, in the video you get to see more of Wraparound which looks very pretty and clean if you ask me!

Wow, so the past week or so the Halo 4 information has been coming in every couple of days or so. Well today we have some news from Game Informer about Halo 4's Multiplayer!

From what I understood of this, Halo 4's multiplayer is campaign related and you play as Spartan IV's (information we already knew.) Something else I got out of the Game Informer information is that the story of the multiplayer takes place on board a UNSC ship named Infinity, hence why they call it the Infinity Multiplayer.

But wait, there's more! Sprint is now built in which makes perfect sense compared to sprinting in Reach, I mean how long did it take the Spartans to learn that on their own? There will still be armor abilities including a new one called forerunner vision which allows you to peak through walls. Not only that, but players now have the option to bring in their own custom weapon loadout into matchmaking! Hopefully this means that I can spawn myself with rockets and a sniper and T-Bag everyone who gets in my way! Muaahahahah!

Loadouts are built when you purchase weapons, and armor abilities with Spartan points that you earn from your matches. Sounds like CoD so far eh? That's what I thought too.

343i in the video on Game Informer also mentioned that there is a new Free-for-all gametype called regicide in which one player is the "king" and you get more points for killing him than you would killing the other players. That's not to say that you shouldn't go for the other players as well because those could be kills you could take from the king. For each kill the king gets his bounty increases making him a much more valuable target. To me this is a lot like juggernaut but not as one-sided as it is in Halo Reach.

And if you really want to hear more about Halo 4 in comparison to Halo 3, I would suggest heading over here and listening to Frank O'Connor talk about what's changing in relation to the game, graphics, and audio.

If you hear anymore Halo 4 news, message me or post it in the Weekly Suggestions Thread!

What up what up jorgers? Here we are again with another recap, and with that comes some more awesome content from all you awesome community members!

Oh whoops, almost forgot, Dark Helmet has also been up to some awesome 3D GFX work with not one but two amazing pictures! Check out The Island and The gravity drive. Both are really amazing and inspired by Halo! Good job GFXers! I expect to see more of your work in the coming weeks. Also, make me a nifty looking pic instead of the one I whipped up in photoshop in 2 minutes, k thanks!

Whoo! How can you people beat that when that's already an awesome start to the recap? Oh I know, with this super cool video by DrBizz. It really is amazing how you trickers always find more things to do in the older games! Oh yeah, stop by his thread to discuss the launch!

Hey hey hey! /fat Albert impersonation.

So guys, today the composer for Halo 4's soundtrack has been revealed! His name is Neil Davidge and he has whipped up what sounds to me like some awesome tracks that maintain the good ole Halo feel we all know and love. Yes it is true that we will all miss the scores by Marty O'Donnell but I'm sure this new guy can fill Marty's shoes and provide us with a soundtrack that will allow us to further enjoy the Halo franchise.

If you have not yet checked it out, head over here to get a sample of his work as well as hear him discuss his process in creating the music!

Also, this.
