Halo |OT10| The Calm Before The Storm

So that makes it, what, 6 on the East Coast?
 
Hopefully 343 is just waiting to announce it. Don't see why it wouldn't be in

I still wouldn't be surprised if it was removed and an OB variant was created to play like Assault since you can score it in goals now.

On Reach and ready to Warthog ;] - Add/Join if you want to play.

That's true. You'd lose the aspect of protecting the bomb while arming though which was always a cool part of the gametype

I'm gonna waste way too much money on Mountain Dew and Doritos.

Gamefuel was the shit back in the Halo 3 days.

Yeah that's what I mean, a variant that makes it either instant or arming, etc. with other options. Think of like how Hot Potato is really the bomb but played like Assault.

There is hope.

Seems like even unmarked Mountain Dew can have XP codes, I found an old bottle of White Out from like last week that had a code on the cap.

I'm still bitter that White Out won that contest instead of the one that tasted like Hawaiian Punch.

Huh...weird. I thought that disc only updated to 1.3 or 1.4. Fyrewulff might know more.

Yeah 1.5 was Live exclusive. I have no freaking idea how he got 1.5 on a Slim after OXbox Live went down, unless there was a window where attempting to connect still updated Halo 2.

Either way he should be able to acquire and use Tombstone and Desolation if H2 says it's 1.5


updates should have been

the one right after launch - to fix matchmaking

the big update - the one that changed most of halo 2's weapons and enabled DLC. This is the one on the map pack disc. (this is 1.1)

the update that included the fix for the teleporter bug on relic right after all the maps were out (this is 1.2)

the update that enabled Tombstone and Desolation (1.5)

Yea I dig it. Hopefully it's in, in one form or another.

Stinkles, we need you.

I'm on a slim as well. I used a friend's map pack disc to install the maps a few months ago. I just checked and I am on 1.5 too....weird.
 
Now this is a really good point. I loved sneaking into the base on Last Resort to lower the gates so people could drive straight in and splatter people huddled around the flag area. Same goes for Standoff and Highground. It added more strategy to objective games.

I'd like to know if this was even discussed in development and the reason it wasn't added to any maps.

I second all of that. I think maps designers have more possibilities with interactive elements and moving parts of the map too.

It can be designed in game engine and with minimal netcode required for synching of such interactive or moving parts etc.

I've always wanted to see a map be like inside some huge factory or machine like structure where the certain parts of the map are only accessible when parts align correctly. It would be a great way for on map spawns of power weapons, key map positions for snipers and more possibilities.

The Halo 4 images on the latest xbox newsletter are glitchy with some alien text popping up every few seconds. Anyone looking into that?

I'm not trying to derail anything. I think my Reach elephant emblem and "GOP" tag gave me away to all of HaloGAF a long time ago.
You're a Republican!?!?!?!1111

Between this, the ESPN thing, and the Promethean weapon trailer text...Is it ARG time?

For the "looking at the lights" part in Halo 4. It would be better to look at each one of Cortana's breasts and other rude parts.

Forerunner time crystals involved. Unless it's packaged with the emulator update for the 360.

My brother has a slim that Halo 2 should have never touched, I'll pop over and see if it's 1.5.

edit: nm i left Halo 2 in Canada
 
When I met Barlow in person a couple years ago (was it only one year ago!?) he had an erection and when I asked why he said, "Sorry, just thought about Reagan."

Lies.

Also, is there a rule on GAF about political figures in Avatars? If not I would love a shop of Reagan holding a BR.

As far as I know there isn't. Please tell me this is what you were wanting to do:

edit: ah, saw your edit. it wouldn't actually be that hard to shop a br in his right hand lol
 
Reagan with a Brute Hammer... "Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall!" REAGAN SMASH!!!!!
Haha that would be great if we still had animated avatars.

I don't think there is, so long as it isn't obscene.
Grover Cleveland with a Spartan Laser would be even better.
Oh gosh haha.
lol
