Wow! I haven't gotten mine yet. I'm still looking for a decent Halo 3 Legendary on ebay.

I bought one like 10 minutes after I asked you lol

got 2 day shipping with prime trial
feels good

I miss tombstone and desolation though

-------------------------------------------------

Is there anyway at all to get the Blastacular Map Pack anymore?

If there is, Id do it.

 

[Fracas]

Hey ladies! My name is DeadNames! I enjoy long walks on the beach, listening to music, and stalking your profile picture! I have a 50 in Halo 3!

It's okay, don't run!

I'll just chase right after you.

Spoiler

Do I get my tag now?

Post this in every thread.

I think it would work better on Meltdown. Valhalla is just too open for it.

Don't beg for a tag, you may regret it.

 

[JackHerer]

Anyone else really like what 343 has done with the forerunner design of buildings and such? To me it just looks cleaner and more alien idk.

I really like it too. I was just admiring the look of the bases on Meltdown. The Forerunner architecture looks really great in the campaign as well.

 

[The P of Poland]

Appeal to the opposite sex.

Women like uncooperative naked drunkards?
This explains so much.

 

[Homeboyd]

Goddamn. I skimmed through for ideas and didn't spot that.

You have my vote, and the power!

 

[squidhands]

Appeal to the opposite sex.

exactly.

 

[Gray Man]

While I am looking forward to the Mantis, the possibilities for a Forerunner vehicle just seem too good to pass up.

Can you imagine a similar building effect, like on thee guns when you enter it?

 

[DeadNames]

Don't beg for a tag, you may regret it.

Lol. I was kidding about that one. See Frankie's post above mine.

-Fracas, I don't wanna be banned

A vehicle that assembles itself to a form suiting the pilot? And packs away when not used?
Hmm.

Oh I got mine from ebay. I don't think it has even shipped yet.

I think there is a way to add the .map files to your 360 but not the 1.5 update. That means that someone who has the update from live would have to launch the maps for you through lan or XBC. Fyrewullf would know for sure. (Not a .map joke haha)

 

[Swarmerr]

I liked |OT| Forward Unto Dong

This needs to happen. lol its too good.

 

[Vire]

Something I noticed in the Meltdown video:

The bridge seems to flicker to a different color in the beginning. I wonder if it can be disabled.

 

[DeadNames]

Why would you want to disable it?

 

[The P of Poland]

This is going to be the title of the first H4 OT. It has to be.

 

[kittens]

Yeah, I think you're probably right. The hills and caves of Ragnarok probably won't provide enough cover.

I liked |OT| Forward Unto Dong

:lol

 

[Vire]

For an objective mode maybe. CTF, Oddball. *shrug*

It might just be a graphical effect.

 

[BuggyDClown]

Hmm.

This would be amazing as a forerunner mongoose. Lets say the mongoose version of a banshee. You grab it and all of a sudden your flying really fast, the vehicle can form under you and take off. no weapons, but really fast air travel.

Fuck. Make it happen 343.

 

[Swarmerr]

It could be it changes color when someone shoots at it, much like deployable cover in halo 3 or any covenant static based shielding.

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

I'm aching for more Forge info. The day IGN posts meltdown is going to be a slow news day.

 

[Wifiplayer13]

Oh man meltdown looks awesome. I really hope the final map is a covenant themed one.

 

[NobleGundam]

Letters stoled my thunder. I posted the same in pg 401 of OT9. Oh well.

 

[Fuchsdh]

It's fine on its own, in the context of the other changes it bothers me. It's funny that you think it feels more alien, because to me it seems less so--more gunmetal than inscrutable crystal, etc. But like I said, it looks fine on its own and if Forge World uses it as a palette should cause less issues.

hmm.. can you extrapolate the maps via usb if they are on a 360?

I would be willing to buy a USB and send him on a cross country adventure if somebody could put them on there

This looks like indestructible crystal? Wat.

The Forerunner base on Meltdown shimmers and has an almost translucent quality to it.

Yeah I can't remember if people ever figured out the TU issue. You can have the maps, you just need someone else to select them as host for you since Halo 2 had to be patched each time to make new DLC maps selectable, and the map pack disc only came with the update that allowed you to select it's DLC.

I'm afraid to even look at my Halo 2 directory on my 360 for fear that the 360 will decide to corrupt it.

You'll have to use a third party program, I don't believe the 360 will allow you to copy OXbox content to flash drives. But it's possible if you already have the maps.

edit: You're gonna want to look for a directory that contains highplains2.map (Tombstone) and derelict.map (Desolation) . If you have highplains.map you have the old buggy Tombstone.

That's why I said I liked it. Sorry for not crediting it properly.

Yeah I think you need one of those things that connects a harddrive to the pc.

 

[RebornYeti]

Last Halo OT before the Halo 4 OT, or are you guys gonna spurt out OT 11 before release?

EDIT: and can I get a link to this Meltdown video?

 

[Fuchsdh]

The Forerunner base on Meltdown shimmers and has an almost translucent quality to it.

I'm referring mostly to the stuff we got in the Anniversary Map pack, which I think pushed the aesthetic to its logical (graphic) conclusions. Take a look at the corridors on High Noon, that's mostly what I'm referring to.

The Forerunners definitely have a lot of variety in their styles, though. They seemed more shiny in CE and then it got stepped back a bit.

 

[nillapuddin]

soo... on a scale of 1-Ill probably do it anyways

what or who do I need?

 

[789shadow]

I really doubt it. I expect to see it on all the bigger maps.

Edit : I really want to play some Halo tonight. Either Reach or 3 works for me. I'll be on in an hour or so!

How about I join you in 3?

 

[Pop]

I must say all the maps in H4 are looking amazing. Dem rocks are stunning. Only thing I wish we had were more smaller focused 4v4 symmetrical maps. But hey I'm looking Fourward to playing on all the maps.

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

I want a level that feels as big as Containment. It had such a wonderful, massive scale to it. One of the few maps that was fantastic for 16 players.

I tried to get a decent pic of the area I was talking about, but it's difficult since Kynan is moving all over the place:

But this base is very reflective.

 

[Tawpgun]

I want levels with Buttons. That do significant things. Or something akin to a terminal train. Where did the fun go?

Why were these things removed? Too much bandwith/stress on the netcode?

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

No GameFuel yet, but found diet Dew! LET THE XP COLLECTING COMMENCE!

 

[feel]

Playing Reach and my active roster is empty. Yall must've deleted me because it can't be that noone is playing the previous Halo game one month before the release of the new one.

 

[Reagan's BR]

A transfer cable. The problem is you won't see the maps on the main menu and will not be able to play them.

Huh. Mystery solved, i guess, finally (didn't have guts to ask), but...
MS Blocked ODST announcement at E3? You mean Bungie Day?

No, E3 2008 was the week after Bungie day. (Here's the summary.)

Letters stoled my thunder. I posted the same in pg 401 of OT9. Oh well.

Okay, first, he said he liked it - suggesting he read it somewhere else. Second, he dropped the 's' in 'dongs' - his version's WAY better.
Edit: Beaten by Letters.

Are the codes on the bags or inside?

That's not a pun.

No, no it isn't.

But doesn't that make it the worst pun of all?

[GhaleonEB]

This is going to be the title of the first H4 OT. It has to be.

The first two titles are picked. But the next Halo thread title? The one right before Halo 4 releases?

Forward Unto Dong

Because why would it be anything else, that's why.

 

[Fracas]

Wait, are the Halo 4 Doritos and Mountain Dew packages out now?

My blood sugar is not ready

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

I would not be surprised if the first map pack was Covenant themed leaving none for launch. Wouldn't mind that.. I could get hyped to play some Covenant maps once people get familiar with the game and digest everything that's been experienced.

Wait, are the Halo 4 Doritos and Mountain Dew packages out now?

My blood sugar is not ready

Not yet I think. Haven't seen them in any stores.. Probably by next week they'll be everywhere.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

That's my Diet Dew. No GameFuel yet, but Dew is in the wild. Didn't look for doritos.

Not yet I think. Haven't seen them in any stores..

The drinks are out there, you just can't redeem the codes yet.
