Well I think it's about time, huh? Gunny and I have had a baby; an FC baby. We have hid our child from all of you, allowing it to grow and become completely actualized. But it's time to set it loose to wreak havoc on you all.

We wanted to give something back to the community. Something that could be informational, FC related, and overall entertaining. I would start to enumerate all the details, but I think that we will let our work speak for us.

You guys also should have provided this link: http://forerunnerconflictpodcast .podomatic.com/

xD

Keep it up. I hope this stays for a long time. :)

On a side note, if you guys want we could also get this on our official YouTube channel. No limits on length or size or anything.

If it was on youtube, I can almost guarantee I'll listen to it every time. If it's on iTunes only, no promises on how often I'll listen. Youtube would be really convenient.

Yeah, I don't have a problem with it being posted on Youtube. I don't think Toast would have any objections, either.

Just another way for the members to listen to it.

I don't. Let us know myth if you need anything from us to put it on youtube. I don't know if you'd want to upload it, have us upload, etc.

I can download it from the Podomatic site and upload it, but it would delay things.

I'm already working on doing it for this first podcast. I'll PM you two with details for future episodes.

Pretty good first episode. Here's a few responses I had throughout the episode (typed them in notepad while listening to it).


I agree completely that the only way to improve Forge is for them to make the transition from "Map Editor" to "Map Creator".
Also, both of you kept saying that Reach maps sucked because they took them from campaign. *Sigh*. Bungie has stated countless times that every single multiplayer map was made as a multiplayer map and integrated into single player (not the other way around). The Reach maps definitely sucked but in my opinion it was due (mostly) to the non-universal sprint and the insane verticality of the Reach Jetpack. Because of this it was understandably very difficult for them to balance each map to encompass all armor abilities fairly (but especially those two).
As far as "visible rank in-game" from the infographic, they're referring to the upcoming rank system, CSR. 343 has decided that they will deter cheaters (boosters, derankers, lag switchers) as well as the account-trading/selling market by making it so that CSR will only ever be visible from Halo Waypoint. Many people want it visible in-game, either next to their gamertag or even just on the Service Record, for a variety of reasons. Some of the more common ones off the top of my head are 1)the ability to quickly check your teammates' (and opponents') skill levels, 2)the desire to keep the experience "in-house" rather than have to have Waypoint open next to you all the time, and of course 3)simply bragging rights.
The best reasoning for the "Red X" removal that I can think of is that 343 probably thought that it was more benificial to have their weapon waypoints. Considering that they even removed the ability to see what secondary you're holding because they thought it cluttered the UI too much I'd imagine that they thought having both weapon waypoints and the "Red X" was too cluttered for their tastes.


Also, FC Podcast subsection, anyone?

If you turn a full 360 you walk away??
... I'm pretty sure you would just walk right back into it..
probably look like a total dumb ass just standing up and spinning around then sitting back down and continue playing after every game.

We were referring more to where they pulled firefight maps from. I see where you're coming from though Kaz, and apologize for any kind of confusion lol.

Thanks for the info. We knew someone here would know what they meant :)

Well that's gay xD

This. Although, I feel we haven't earned it yet. Let us prove our worth with a few episodes first xD

We plan to keep it regular and good. Glad to hear its been seen as both entertaining and professional like. Wouldn't fit the title of Official FC Podcast if it wasn't such, right?
