I've got a bit of a weird request. A friend and I are trying to play coop Legendary and we can't connect to each other's games thanks to the wonderful NAT settings at my college. Is there anyone out there who could host a game, invite both of us, and then either let it run or play through with us? If so, send WWGray4 an invite. It would be highly appreciated.

Fuck this game. I have had enough of shit hosts on different fucking continents. Until Bungie sort this shit out, no multiplayer for me.
Honestly, if I play much longer, I'm either going to stroke or have a heart attack. It's like paying Microsoft to slowly torture me. And I have better things to spend my money on.

The clip is titled "Whoa.", got a running riot that very game too. T'was a fine game indeed, even if we did end up losing. By the way ll Atreyu is my secondary account, I tend to use it when I've been drinking.
And nope. Actually, I wanted to sign up for the site a while back until I found out someone else had stolen my name. Mark my words, they will pay.

Is there some kind of trick/glitch with the Mauler that I'm missing?
People come up to me and kill me with one shot (like the Shotty), but it says they 'Beat me down.'
Am I right in thinking there is some kind of RT+B glitch with the Mauler?

Not a glitch: shot + melee in quick succession = instakill. Try it out.
Its the weapon allot have been complaining about since it does seem pretty much overpowered. Its a quick shot/melee. Pretty much its the same strength as a sword or normal shotgun. Except the gun is common cheese to speak. So its not specifically pretty lol.cjelly said:
Am I the only one that feels pretty much everyone of the new weapons was completely unneeded? The laser is the only one I like, the Hammer and Mauler can suck a dick.
Put me in the boat to fix melee too, the Beta was completely fine, I really don't get the decision on it. Also, anyone else feel as if their BR is completely fucking random? I shot a guy 5 times in the back tonight when he had no shields and some how he lives? :lol
Really just not feeling this game at all lately, a lot of flaws are becoming quite apparent, it also doesn't help that aside from High Ground all of the maps are the definition of mediocre, IMO. Oh well.

Removeable turrets, Spartan Laser, and the upgrades to the weapons (Needler, AR, Carbine, Plasma Rifle SMG) are all much better, as well as balanced.
Favorite maps are Last Resort, Valhalla and Sandtrap. I like Snowbound at times even!
I think Isolation is the worst, though.
Speaking of turrets, where's the plasma ones in MM?

The turrets are good in theory, but play anyone that isn't a tard and you're dead on sight pretty much. I also can't express the anger that rises in me every time I see Last Resort pop up in Slayer, yea it's a good objective map, but it's a fucking terrible Slayer map. After 7K+ games of Halo 2, I've had my fill of Zanzibar, to say the least.

Wow, doing this mongoose achiement again makes me feel lucky the first time I got it, it's near impossible to actually kill anyone! I hit someone who had no shield and still didn't get a kill...seriously it's pissing me off now.

Im finding it so hard to Rank up in Team Slayer. Started last night as a 45, won 6 games in a row, no 46, lose one, win 1 an get my 46 (WTF?), win another 6 games and no Rank up.
A guy i was playing with started as a 44 and is now a 48 from the exact same games i played. Sucks Bungie hates me....
Also we played a team which consisted of 3 level 50's and a 49 (his highest was a 50 though) and we got deconstructed (on construct). We were schooled and made to look very NOOBish lol. I could only get 3 kills. Ouch:lol

Dear Bungie
Please make it so in 40 games of social skirmish 1 flag CTF on High Ground comes up at least 1 fucking time. You know, the gametype that entire map was built around. Remember it? Three months on I'd kinda like to play 1 flag CTF on High Ground, it looks like it'd be fun. Maybe you can make it fucking happen.
Thanks

I don't know what most of you are complaining about, but I played some Double Team yesterday and the experience is still better then Halo 2. No cheaters... no glitchers... nothing. Everyone is on the same level of play and that makes the gaming experience so much better. Lets try a little bit harder to be thankful of less cheating in Halo 3!!!

I can't remember how it all went down before, but the (imo, rather boring) screenshots they released so far, do very little to explain the maps or get me very excited about them. I mean the shot we have of Rat's nest for example, features the exterior of whats been described as an indoor map, and focuses on an area we've been told you can't even launch over towards. And dont even get me started on the shot of foundry. Standoff admittedly gets my proverbial panties wet.
Given the vast amount of options of things to play over the holiday season combined with the relative ease by which you can now take screenshots, I find these choices puzzling.
And again, at 10 dollars for 3 maps (an amount of money, I'm not personally sweating but sure some are), throwing us a bone wouldn't exactly hurt.
I agree. I can't understand the logic either. Rats Nest is an indoor map, but all we see is the outside of it. I'm fascinated by the aspect of a completely indoor vehicle map. Waterworks was the closest thing we've ever had to that. At least gives us a couple pictures of the maps in an actual game.Dirtbag 504 said:

I hope the new maps get added to Team Slayer.
And please add BTB to Ranked. Just for shits and giggles.

Thought I'd post this here since it pertains to MP.
So I'm walking to my next class and I pass by the "FOR" building that's in my college, so once I turn the corner, my eye catches a room number on this FOR building. What's the room number?

I just hopped on Halo 3 and played a few matches for the first time in a week and a half or so. Had fun and I think I'll start getting back into it a little more and more to get myself practiced up for the Heroic Map Pack.
Has anyone played the Normandy stuff in Bungie's Favorites? Sounds cool in concept, so how is it? If not I'd be willing to get together with some GAFers to play it. I'm a WW2 bluff so...World War II and Halo = ToyMachine'sBruteZone

I've fiddled around with it with a couple friends. I haven't gotten in a serious custom match playing it, though.ToyMachine228 said:
Jailbreak CTF is another I'd really like to try out.
Demo Derby with Hogs in Sandtrap is another =D
Tonight I played BTB and I am still pulling for it to be ranked. Sandtrap FTW

i am just excited about there being another big team battle map for that playlist it was really needing one
It's utter carnage. Spawn, die, spawn, die. Not a competitive gametype, but kind of amusing for a quick winding-down game, just like Infection or Rocket Race.ToyMachine228 said:
A custom game I would recommend is NoelsGooseParty (UK gaffers will understand the reference). It's in the last two slots of my fileshare.
Basically, it's a mongoose jousting game. You get -1 point for a kill, 3 for an assist, so you only win by killing while on the back of your team's mongoose. Weapons are infinite ammo Spartan Lasers and respawning sticky grenades.
It's great fun, and works with more than 4 teams of 2, because it's not a checkpoint race. Drive-by sticking a mongoose is very satisfying

Like what? I can't think of any that would work well with twice the number of players.JdFoX187 said:
The only maps I think would be too small for BTB would be Epitaph, Guardian and Snowbound. I remember playing BTB at High Ground in the Beta and it was fun. There were some videos of Narrows with what looked like a BTB group. The Pit is fairly spread out and thin for 4v4.cjelly said:

Got all achiements at last, LEGIT also.
Halo's management of strongest wins balancing is so bullshit, instead of a test of skill its whoever has the fattest internet connection wins close range fights, shotgun and melee mostly. I got clips of me full shield shooting the shotgun into someones face the moment I walk around the corner followed by a contacting melee, a second later i'm beat down because in that second the other person can keep dealing damage. Also i've had plenty of experiances where i've shot first but they have had time to turn around, shoot and melee me to death.
Total bullshit, makes me seriously want to just throw the game away now that i'm done with it, but I got RL friends who play online :/
I go home for christmas so I shall play on a line that should be better quality then my flat's line, see if I get the same results.

I'm officially done with this game. Bungie, FIX YOUR FUCKING BROKEN SPAWN SYSTEM.
Full group of enemies in your spawn area SHOULD FUCKING EQUAL SPAWNING SOMEWHERE ELSE.
BUT NO.
That would be too simple. Instead, you get farmed for about 20 straight kills as you spawn in front of people with loaded out weaponry... then after the game is totally out of reach. you spawn KIND OF in the middle of the level, but you're probably just gonna get sniped so what does it matter.
This is soooo much worse due to the fact that most of the level are TINY. There are only three level of decent enough size to avoid MASS spawn farming, and guess what, YOU NEVER play them on ranked playlists. EVER.
A game should be fun to pick up and play. Not wait for the stars to align and the best 3-4 other people on your friends list so you can finally have a chance at winning by spawn camping the other team.
Ranked BTB please, it's the only escape. But only after you move it back down to 6 on 6.
Also, the secret to winning at swords is NOT to press B after the initial lunge (you don't lunge again and you can be easily sidestepped). I farm morons like that all day. The secret to winning is hitting B before you lunge, a split second after your hapless victim lunges at you. You will parry them and be able to IMMEDIATELY lunge at them while they are still "stunned. Many times the regular attack will blow through the lunge and kill them outright. It's nearly impossible to escape, except with some fortunate backtracking but most people don't expect it because it happens immediately.

Does anyone have any good custom games or forged maps? I'm enjoying 8--12 player lobbies these days, but would like to play some slightly different (but not stupid) gametypes.
I've toyed around with no-vehicle multi flag on Valhalla, moving the flagspots to around territories 3 and 4, but I can't seem to balance it. Anyone managed that?
I also have a tactical gametype called Escort Elim VIP, which seems to go down well when we play. I'd be interested in any feedback if you play it.

haha yeah it's great, only way it doesn't work is if you time it wrong because B won't lunge foward, so attacks from above do not always get reflected.My Arms Your Hearse said:
