Halo: Reach |OT3| This Thread is Not a Natural Formation

Nobody is on my ignore list because if anything it actually makes ignored posts stand out more than they would otherwise.

The best ignore list is the GAF ban hammer, and that's pretty much been the solution to anybody I've wanted to ignore.

So I was screwing around in this game going for the unfrigginbelievable medal...

Anyhow I got to the base on LNOS turned around and began a campaign version of firefight. Anyhow I took care of the tank to the left of the base and then just took care of business on wave after wave of enemies. So after a couple waves enemies come in from beside the base and you have to take them out. After a few hundred kills I decided to change it up and go on the offensive towards where the tank was...all of sudden I died and in the stats I have three deaths...1 was a sticky before I decided to go on the killing run...the second sticky wan on the corvette after all was said and done...then there is a death by banshee...I am assuming that the tank respawns just as the enemies do and the stats just got it wrong...or there is a banshee there that I was never aware of...either way while sad i did not hit the 1k mark I was ready to finish up for the evening anyhow. I will try again next week.

Man, I was pretty happy with the direction challenge credits were heading, especially the last weekly and then I see this week's challenge :| C'mon man! That garbage is both less effort than a daily from yesterday AND less credits than some dailies. Absolute fail of a weekly. It's one thing to botch a daily, there's still 3 others and it will be different tomorrow, but a weekly should have more thought put into it /endofrant

I *think* Cryptum is the only Halo book I haven't read, is it the best one yet?

Juices, did you cream your jeans over the CR total for yesterday's challenges? :lol

I kind of agree with you on the whole weekly challenge issue. I'm not one to complain about easy cR, but come on. That took me maybe 25 minutes and got about the same amount of cR for a daily. Now last week's weekly challenge was a good one.

Best one yet? I dunno, Nylund's novels really are awesome.

I'm still getting used to Greg Bear's writing style, but I'm completely fascinated and engrossed in what I'm reading now. I'm on Chapter 7 (still).

Wrong. It's gauche and lacks dynamism. We are simple folk here. Take your bourgeois art tastes away.

Upon entry into OT3 we reached a new epoch, one which depends an elevation of the human spirit and of the observer's own relationship to the material being presented. I say let Letters be unfettered and unbound.

As for the weekly challenge: that lacks dynamism. Can we just make it a rule that weeklies should take more than an hour to complete and should be worth a minimum of 10k?

Has anyone actually got full Mark V - nows the time for a comparison pic. :D (ive got the helmet, and its spot on :p)
I can do this. I don't have the shoulders labeled as MkV, but those do not look like they should at all, there are better matching pieces. I'll try to get the best match I can.

Is the "Return of the Mack" challenge not working for anyone else?


"Kill 50 Elites in campaign today on Normal or Harder".

Edit: I had to keep trying but got it to work. Seems like many others are having the same problem.

I think they do. You have to remember that the Halo: CE engine didn't exactly have a lot of detail. That's the only thing I'm missing too is the shoulders. Once I have those My Master Chief will be done.

Even though I think the ODST shoulders look closer to the ones in Halo 1, in the PoA easter egg showing the Chief, he's wearing the Mark V shoulders if you look close enough.

As for what my Spartan will look like, I'm debating (because Space Barbie dolls are super important) if I should keep the ODST ones by the time I get the Security helmet, or go for the Security shoulders. Or even go for Mark V.

Yes they are super important. I've been debating forever between going identical MC with Gold visor or going with my twist of a black visor. I know armor wise I won't be exact just because I don't care for the greens they have to choose from.

ODST does look the best, but I don't feel like dropping 50k on it when I'm only 50k from robot face, my last helmet.

There's something wonderful about the how the Mark V looks in the C.E. engine.
You're right it looks different. I've been saving up this whole time to get the Mark VI and I'm seeing it around and I like it less and less. Maybe it's because the other armor pieces people use don't match too well, I don't know. I have a question, is all Mark VI armor available. Can I make my Spartan look like Master Chief? Because that's what I want.

Halo 2/3/Mark VI Chief? No you can't. The base Mark V armor in Reach is too different than the Mark VI and there aren't enough armor pieces to make it even resemble the Mark VI. The closest chest piece in my eyes is the HP/HALO which somewhat resemble the pectoral look of the Mark VI. But unfortunately they're always steel colored and has a grenade belt which I really wish had a toggle.

You can make your Spartan out of all Mark V pieces for the Halo 1 look, but the closest you can get to the Mark VI (Halo 2) look is the helmet (the only Mark VI piece) and possibly the Mark V shoulders.

Fake Edit: and I see Barrow Roll covered it better than I did.

I'm surprised the Halo 1 Spartan I cropped came out as well as it did. GIMP sucks for stuff like that. Still not perfect, but oh well.

Damn that sucks. Oh well, I'll buy whatever Mark IV I can buy and see if I can find some other stuff that makes the whole thing look good.

Oh, I'm definitely not talking about myself, don't worry I'm not talking about you either, or anyone else that would more than likely post about it. :D

Doing a hunt at the US Copyright Office (search for "bungie") turned up the following names registered by Bungie back in July of 2010 - Seven Seraphs, Osiris, New Monarchy, and Dead Orbit. He also points out that three domains were registered using the same terms back in late September.

examiner said:
Here are the domain registrations that were found.

DeadOrbit.com

DeadOrbit.net

DeadOrbit.org

NewMonarchy.org

SevenSeraphs.com

SevenSeraphs.net

SevenSeraphs.org

The registration information used for these seven domain names is the same as Bungie Aerospace.
 
There could be several new IPs in development if I haven't mistaken Bungie's development principle past Halo. They did say they wanted to be a multi-project studio, right?

I doubt that considering their deal with Activision.

^^Amazing.
PsychoRaven said:
Hmm. Very very interesting. I don't see Dead Orbit getting much use. Name alone will get people calling it Dead Space ripoff even if it isn't remotely like that game.
I know it was mentioned before, but I'm beginning to think more and more that LNoS was inspired by whatever they were planning for their new IP.
