You either need the Map Pack Disc and/or mod the Xbox so you can send Tombstone and Desolation and the final Halo 2 TU to the Xbox.
Past that you're on your own, since we can't link to where you can obtain the Blastacular Map Pack.

You know what I meant!
Where should we go to war? Near this kind of big pylon?

This is either the best decision you've ever made or the worst. Hell if it is, Karl, I doubt I'll live long enough to find out which.

Wow is he serious? I'm not sure why people try to dismiss extremely complex and theoretical areas of physics they clearly know nothing about (origin of the universe in that tweet.)
So that's what they meant by "an ancient evil awakens.."

Your report will have to wait, lieutenant. Cyren needs your help running a counter op.

Oh. If I continue, I will end as a portion of meat.
I think he's very serious. I've been on Marty Twitter Watch for quite some time now and he's uber conservative it seems.

I will bathe in your orange tears.
Have you seen the IMDB memorable quote page for reach? Depressing.

Why is it that Sage, of Reach and beard fame, comes up with decent Halo multiplayer ideas AFTER he's finished work on Halo?
Dammit, you had a whole game to yourself to implement this. =/

I will I will! Had a pretty hectic weekend but this week should be relatively calm. We'll do a GoW3 tomorow maybe!
Meh, I'm kinda over it already. It wasn't that big of a surprise, was it? The sentence was a play on the Arbiter's line in Halo 3 when he kills truth. It sounds like he says ''asshole, you most be silenced instead of '' and so, you must be silenced''
I don't agree with him, but never really been a fan of dragging twitter debates into forums where it wasn't being posted..
It's called retrospective / looking back post-mortem.

Man, I am saying this all the time! Halo would be so much more fun in BTB if they went back to indestructible vehicles. The tug of war with them DEFINED CE's multiplayer to me. Now they either serve to give a huge advantage that gets destroyed, or just get destroyed right off the bat. Vehicle destruction is one of the worst things Halo 2 has implemented to go on to the other games, along with dual wielding-- but that only infected 3.
Tangent: What about a Spartan Laser that paints targets so someone with a Rocket Launcher can lock onto it? Food for thought. Back to cookout.

Halo 3 had some good lines, but Halo 2 had great lines.
Check out the IMDB page for a refresher.
But if I'm not on Marty Twitter Watch what am I to do?

Seems pretty bad to have a weapon that is only designed to benefit the use of another weapon. Rather, give the RL the functionality to paint a target and subsequently fire and remove the Laser all together.

Yes it was. That's one reason Halo 1's multiplayer has been my number 1 favorite and still is. It's for the very reasons you mention too. Vehicles went from fun and useful to less useful in Halo 2, to even less useful in Halo 3, to totally useless in Halo: Reach unless it's the broken banshee. It was a combination of vehicles being destructible in 2 and the insane rocket lock that made them ok but easy to destroy. In 3 and Reach though with that 1 shot laser they became useless for the most part.
I would comment but this debate wasn't posted in the forums.

YEAH. INDESTRUCTIBLE REACH BANSHEES AND GAUSS HOGS FTW!

Think about it this way: Someone gets a Banshee and gets a ridiculous point lead. Now you finally destroy it and then what? Well, you're back to nothing and they still have the ridiculous lead. Instead, they could get their lead, they could die, then YOU can take the Banshee that dropped from the sky and bring the carnage right back to them. The OPness of those vehicles is compounded by the fact that they get destroyed when you finally manage to take the user out.

Stand over there and Doctor it up
That's pretty much the Plasma Pistol though in terms of only being good for support
Indestructible vehicles?
That just seems ridiculous.
Dialog and story beats are so good in 2; too bad all the dudebros complained it was too much to understand and they massively scaled it back in 3.
Hopefully 4 has the awesome exploration of CE, the story beats of 2, and the awesome sandbox encounters of 3 all rolled into one game.

It supports everything, it's not just designed to make one weapon have an extra function. It strips shields and disables vehicles, and though weak it still has killing power.

The cutscene itself is really good, excellent voice acting and I love the musical cue when the Arbiter armor is revealed. The shot of Arbiter turning around to the camera/prophets for the final line works is awesome way to end the scene and show the transformation he's taken.

I do not understand this logic. If the Banshee is indestructible, how should I get control of the Banshee? Or did you mean to shoot the driver out? Oh yeah. That happens the whole time. The whole time. We always kill the driver...

It was easier to kill the driver of vehicles with homing rockets and such.

Damage to the vehicle translates to damage to the player instead, but the vehicle itself is never destroyed.

Did we have them in Reach?
Yeah. Okay. Now I get it. I should understand it earlier. Ghaleon is fighting for that. I hope he wins. Or it will go to that direction.

Nah. It was my own stupidity for getting it that late.
Sure.
