Arnold was in great shape in Twins too. And yea Commando is godly.

Pistolas double with the snipe was insane. The fact that he jumped and shot through the crack makes it even crazier. Ending of that series was epic. I would have loved to be there. Awesome event so far.

Pistola with the 3 shirts, is it cold in there?

Not sure what you mean. Are you trying to ask if the Cortana images hurt the game's replayability overall or just the level Cortana? It didn't hurt the game's replaybility for me; they're only 5-10 seconds max and one or twice per level. Plus they're completely absent from The Ark and The Covenant (until the end of the level).

Edit: The option to turn them off would've been great.

Each mission that had Cortana flashing on screen. Again I really did not enjoy them because I first played the game on Legendary and dying for the umpeenth time and seeing her likeness flash on screen and ruin the pace was not enjoyable.

I would've loved an option to turn it off.

Oh that was awesome! Thanks for linking.

Yeah, another shoddy component of Halo 3's narrative.

That would have been nice, though I'd have settled for the ability to skip them as with the short cutaway scenes (Arby and Chief overlooking the dam on the first level, for instance). Cortana starts up, tap A twice, done.

 

[Havok]

I would have been more forgiving of those sequences had they had any sort of payoff in the story. Sadly, they exist as a bunch of annoying non sequiturs instead.

Thing about those is that they take control away from the player momentarily to change the camera. Through the Cortana/Gravemind sequences, you still have control of your character. I understand what you're getting at, but it would have been a weird implementation.

Eat some humble pie, Formal. Ogre 2 plopping turds all over Ambush.

 

[Captain Blood]

MLG commentary/interviews are HILARIOUS. I can't handle it.

:lol plopping is the perfect word

Good series. I wanna see some fuckin Dynasty man. Have they been on mainstage yet?

edit: Ask and you shall receive I guess

Hey Bennet! LET OFF SOME STEAM!

True, it would have required them to take control of the player away and make them a skipable cut scene.

Regardless, they were both poorly implemented and ultimately pointless from a story standpoint. Just an inexplicable element of the campaign.

That crowd went absolutely batshit! Very nice ending.
Anyone uploads more matches from this, let me know, I'd love to watch.

Dersky has gotten so good over the years. What team is Snipedown on?

Speed runners were only able to skip one of those annoyances. On Floodgate at the warehouse they found a nifty trick to avoid the trigger on the floor. Otherwise, they found ways to push through them in other areas.

Carbon

With Ryanoob, Blaze and damn I forgot who their 4th is. They just lost to Dynasty.

I actually think the vignettes like the Chieftain dam sequence were kinda neat. It gave an optional experience to the story that you could either ignore or use it to gain perspective on the situation.

Holy smokes. That was insane. I've never thought to use the box geometry + grav hammer like that before. It would explain why my fastest run is only 5:30-ish.

 

[kittens]

This series. So good.

 

[The Henery]

This series. So good.

Then Penance happened.

Two snipers, camo, grenade launcher, shotgun and Rockets. Did CA do the mlg settings for this map?

 

[Judderman]

I have a question. I haven't played since a bit before Anniversary came out, why is the pace of these matches (MLG) seem so slow nowadays? Was there a shift in strategy, and if so, why?

 

[kylej]

Pennance looks like some straight Marcos Lehto's Creative Control output

Holy shit, mind blown.

 

[Plywood]

This shouldn't even be.

 

[kylej]

oh my god that Lethul dubski o_______________________________o

 

[kittens]

Yeah, Penance is a turd. I don't mind playing it, but watching it is boring.

 

[Steelyuhas]

This shouldn't even be.

Avatar is back, doesn't matter.

 

[Tashi]

oh my god that Lethul dubski o_______________________________o

Yea, quite dirty.

 

[Plywood]

Pinnacle really fucking outvoted Countdown and Asylum.

Wow.







Wow.

 

[kittens]

Pinnacle really fucking outvoted Countdown and Asylum

Fucking Super.

 

[Magni]

Glad to see Instinct doing so well, they may be dropping games, but it's not like they're playing against AM teams either.

Oh, and concerning last night's fat jokes:

This was hands down the best event I've been to as far as the amount if fun I had. The chance to play against Str8 Rippin on the mainstage was the most fun I've ever had playing halo. Joked with them the whole series and told them I'd take them all out for a steak dinner next event after that Battle Canyon slayer haha. Made ninja show us that triple before we got off the stage too lol.

Oh and to those that negged the kid that said FnF stands for "Fat and Friendly" you have no sense of humor, that was hilarious hahaha. Awesome halo crowd too.

 

[Tashi]

Sterlings a cool guy.


Hope this next series sucks because I switched to SC2 for now.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Bleh, Commando sucked so it isn't Arnold at his best.

TheOddOne indeed

 

[Plywood]

I'M DONE WITH THIS GAME.

NO MORE QUESTIONS.


I EVEN BROKE THE TASHI CEILING.

 

[TheOddOne]

All I noticed was:

O_O

Yeah that one is such a tease

Someone tell Shady Halo Kids to change their team name to The Has-beens.

Their placing says otherwise.

[Magni]

edit: Classic just got 3-0ed by Warriors, ouch

Hysteria (and ACE) just dominated that game. He was my favorite player in H3 for a while, when tD were doing massive damage. Nice to see him back to top form with the sniper.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Nice work Ply!

 

[kittens]

I'm proud, son.

 

[Fracas]

I'm watching the live stream...They're playing King of the Hill, why doesn't anyone actually go in the hill?
