tru, another thing about the video I noticed is that they are very heavy jetpack use in order to move around the maps unexpectedly and use cover -- nm - oblique2013 Jan 3, 10:32 9
- Yes, I'm going to have to jetpack more. -- nm - David Jan 3, 10:34 1
  - on Haven it is fantastic. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 3, 10:49
- jetpacking is awesome, if you know how and when to use it. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 3, 10:33 6
  - Their jetpack use also allowed them on open maps like Abandon to throw grenades blindly into areas where their teammates were calling out damaged - oblique2013 Jan 3, 10:43
  - their weapon switching is off the charts also. Watching the guy hammer on Abandon is something else -- nm - oblique2013 Jan 3, 10:35 4
    - they have the quick reload / switch weapon perk on for sure. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 3, 10:42 3
      - It's very interesting. I've been going for unlimited sprint. This seems much more effective (jetpack + reload) -- nm - oblique2013 Jan 3, 10:44 2
        
        well, if you are jetpacking out of danger, there is less use for sprint. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 3, 10:47 1
        
        absolutely. We saw how good it works even on Adrift for the jumps. I wonder how well their play translates to big team -- nm - oblique2013 Jan 3, 10:53

Wow, lots of CDAN reveals. the Kim/Kris one is hilarious. -- nm - loosilu Jan 3, 10:28 10

  - Dano provided a link a couple of days ago that shows only the blind items. -- (link) - David Jan 3, 10:50

  - did you see the Angelina one? I can't figure out who is supposed to be the first choice guy. -- nm - loosilu Jan 3, 10:41 4
    - I was thinking Antonio Banderas. -- nm - pmb Jan 3, 10:51

Am I counting correctly, that if the NHL gets a deal in the next week, a team could theoretically have 48 regular season games and 35 playoff games? - TFox Jan 3, 10:18 9
- Yes, they want at least a 48 game season. Probably similar to the last time where all games are in conference. - spamlet Jan 3, 10:28 2
  - Also means no shot for a Preds trip to Boston, which was a long shot anyway. -- nm - TFox Jan 3, 10:28 1
    - Them too. I have February tickets. I figured that they would have it figured out by then. - spamlet Jan 3, 10:30
- I really thought something would get done last night -- nm - J Jan 3, 10:27
- they should just pick numbers out of a hat, every team in the playoffs, the number you pick is your seed. That should be the season -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Jan 3, 10:21
- 4 rounds...so 28. -- nm - Jim Jan 3, 10:19
- the NHL has 5 rounds of playoffs? Holy crap. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 3, 10:19
- 4 rounds I think, so 28 -- nm - Beaker Jan 3, 10:19 1
  - Oh duh. I screwed up my starting point. Thanks. -- nm - TFox Jan 3, 10:21

re: Millers. I have never met another person with my last name that was not a close relative. you? -- nm - loosilu Jan 3, 10:13 19
- My friend's cousin has the same last name as me. - Krusty Jan 3, 10:36
- quite a few. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 3, 10:31
- A few, but I have a common last name. there's a town name that is the same as my last name. My mother wrote a check at a grocery store there and the - jnine Jan 3, 10:30
- Ha! -- nm - spamlet Jan 3, 10:28
- we're distantly related to a Miller family, I think (through my great-grandmother on my dad's side) -- nm - znufrii Jan 3, 10:21

    - she went to school with my brother and he met her and then insisted i come and meet her one night. -- nm - Andie Jan 3, 10:19 2
      - and that's the night that you discovered she had the other half of your enchanted amulet, right? -- nm - prayformojo Jan 3, 10:20 1
        
        that would have been way cooler. we discussed that we sometimes got each other's phone calls and it was very confusing. - Andie Jan 3, 10:21
  - also...how's grandma-in-law btw? - Mel Profit Jan 3, 10:16 2
    - *mother* in law. she's much better, but needs to use her walker (refuses( -- nm - Andie Jan 3, 10:17 1
      - if she has to she can rip up two small saplings and use those as crutches for a day or two. - Mel Profit Jan 3, 10:19
- No. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 3, 10:14
VLIR: Halo: David, what did you mean about the extra ammo and respawn? Also groiny, if I plasma a mech and double sticky it, it does not die -- nm - oblique2013 Jan 3, 10:12 19
- I've had the same trouble with the Mantis. -- nm - Mop (189 lbs) Jan 3, 10:18 6
  - I also prefer to plasma it, and then charge it and hijack it. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 3, 10:18 5
    - I'm become a beast with the plasma pistol. I have trouble following through, though. - Mop (189 lbs) Jan 3, 10:22 4
      - depends on how far away you are from it. - groiny Jan 3, 10:23 3
        
        I find myself plasma-ing vehicles and then don't have the weapon or range to finish it off and no one else notices or is around to do it either - oblique2013 Jan 3, 10:25 2
        
        You do because I play defense a lot. I too plasma vehicles. -- nm - David Jan 3, 10:28
        
        my pet peeve is when you drain a banshee, it hits the ground, and then takes off again. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 3, 10:27
- hmmm, I have killed a few mechs with the plasma and a couple stickies. - groiny Jan 3, 10:16 2
  - maybe that's it. I was really frustrated by that this weekend as I had at least two or three times I was able to sneak up on it, disable it and it - oblique2013 Jan 3, 10:19 1
    - it also depends on it being wounded when you drain it as well. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 3, 10:25
- that the extra ammo perk only worked on weapons you spawned with. - groiny Jan 3, 10:15 3
  - i dont if you pick up a new snipes, you get more than 8 bullets - tRuMaN 24601 Jan 3, 10:16 2
    - Also LIR, the talk on the video is cool. Calling out hits on opponents is interesting -- nm - oblique2013 Jan 3, 10:21
    - I am sure on Ragnarok when I go for snipers, I start with more than 8 shots. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 3, 10:18
- also LIR: We had a game of Haven last weekend where we were fighting newbs, the duck/recover worked exceptionally well for me as we were travlling in - oblique2013 Jan 3, 10:13 4
  - one of the loadout options is to give you more starting ammo for your loadout guns - tRuMaN 24601 Jan 3, 10:16 3
    - I am almost positive that it gives you more ammo on anything you pick up. - groiny Jan 3, 10:17 2
      - i may test this tonight, on a custom map, to see -- nm - tRuMaN 24601 Jan 3, 10:19 1
        
        I will be on tonight for a bit, I am curious as well. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 3, 10:24
