You can always get a few people together for 'You Ate All the Chips', if you really want. I almost never got any stockpile games, and it usually got screwed up somehow if we did. So I got a few HBO people together, and we had a friendly game of scoring flags and stabbing each other in the back.Louis Wu said:I don't play with enough friends to get You Ate All the Chips. And I NEVER use Armor Lock, so Poppin' and Lockin' is gonna be tough.
I also haven't been able to get a Rocket Race game (it gets voted down every time it comes up), so I'm not sure if I'll ever get Offensive Driver.
Cross Mappin' I got the first time I actually TRIED for it (which wasn't until a couple of weeks ago
Totally Worth It, as several others have said, comes easiest when you're not looking for it. Just play chaotic games (Multi Team!), and throw lots of grenades.

Hell I'd always help anyone too. Again I have to post more about my status because I just got that one too. Only totally worth it to go. However I'm always up to help people if they need any of them.

Oh wow, thats really is a bloodbath.
It really wasnt his fualt, but I find it hilarious how AlienShogun made a post that got smileys killed off, and then a day or so later made a thread that killed off a bunch of gaffers, again its not his fualt at all, but its such a streak of bad luck.
I feel sorry for all those Gaffers, getting banned like that kind of sucks, I guess most of them where just pushing it with obnoxious smileys, but others hadnt been so bad I didnt think.
As for the DLC achievments, I hate to say it, but for my own sanity I boosted some of them as soon as possible, having the mindset that I have to play to earn a double kill from the grave, or use armour lock makes the game less fun for not only me, but everyone.
That said I got the armour lock achievment legit lol.
"Not his fault"? "A streak of bad luck"?bobs99 ... said:
Seriously?
He did something that pissed off an admin - an admin who is KNOWN to be pretty tight on second chances. Then, instead of actually learning from the responses he got, he created an animated gif ridiculing that admin, and called him out for his 'overreaction' in multiple threads.
How the FUCK is that "not his fault"?
And his performnace in the NPD thread was basically begging to get the boot. Read from the linked post forward....I saw it happening, and saw the train wreak coming. He just sped it up.Louis Wu said:
You don't go around insulting admins and flaunting the policy, especially the guy that (literally) owns and runs the place. Like you said, that's not bad luck.
You should have seen the thread where this one guy said that donkey kong country on the NES was awful. A lot of people were banned(mostly because people were disagreeing with him without any explanation). I counted and there had to be at least 15 people banned from that thread.enzo_gt said:

Louis Wu said:
Oh woah I missed that.
I simply meant that it wasnt his fualt that smileys as a whole got banned, a lot of people gave him flak for that, but its clear that he was just 'the straw that broke the camels back' in terms of that. From what I read it seems like the Mods have been annoyed by the overuse of them for a while - especially in a condencending manner.
I also meant that it wasnt his fualt a bunch of gaffers got banned in that second thread, but its just comedic that he sort of not only got smileys banned, but a day later got a bunch of gaffers banned. Thats what I meant by a streak of bad luck, for some of those posters thats all it was. Most where going overboard with the annoying smileys and did deserve the bannings though.
I feel silly saying this, but I didnt see any of the provocative stuff directly from Shogun (suprisingly!), that said I was simply skim reading, ive had a busy day lol. I will be honest im not suprised that he would do that, but I simply didnt spot it.
I was just pointing out how comedic it is that he is always going to be associated with those 2 scenarios, when really he wasnt the only one to blame

Exactly. He seems to have went out of his way to earn the banning. Hopefully he'll get another chance after awhile and he'll come back and be a bit calmer.

Well it was a bit of personal bias. Basically admins shouldn't even have accounts or personas to be attacked and should only be involved with enforcing actual written rules. If they want to post here they can do that on their own but should not get any special permission.
Of course thats how it should work...
SMH. I honestly think everyone that posts an opinion without backing it up like "this shit suxx" deserves to be banned (or at least punished or something) anyways for basically contributing to the fall of intelligent discussion and inciting arguments and flame wars.Dug said:

No, no big ones, just some small forums back in the day.
Let's not act like this has become all totalitarian or something.TacticalFox88 said:
Next up, according to what I've gotten out of mods' posts is images appearing in quoted posts (deserves to go anyways, I agree wholeheartedly with this), and probably umad.jpg if people keep overusing it, but I still think it's hilarious, and it's posted less frequently now anyways.

What's the plan for customs tonight? I might be able to get in on that action.

I think if a person's post has three or more images, when it's quoted it AUTOMATICALLY gets turned into the links. Clickable? Up to them.enzo_gt said:

First they came for the smilies, and I said nothing?
Or all links. Currently that's not the case and only on MobileGAF is that an option while browsing.TacticalFox88 said:
Should be like that anyways, but as evidenced by the women threads in OT, people don't seem to have a problem quoting entire image posts regardless of how many images there are in there, so we'd still get a ton of duped images in parts.

Hey You said:
A bad map is bad map, no matter how many people you show it to. Whilst some aspects of a map can be subjective, other areas, specifically the technical side, are not.
No amount of arse loving will make a horrid map good.

I played some Halo for the first time in over a month.
It was pretty fun!
Except that in my first game, a 6v6 Territories game turned into a 2v3 game with four black screens along the way. And when we lost narrowly despite being two against their three (and finishing with positive k/d while they finished negative), they shot our corpses and stuff.
Cool.

I agree. I wouldn't worry too much about bias against creators as a reason for a map not to make it to Matchmaking. Apparently everyone at Bungie mocks Carney and The Cage still made it in so, again, don't worry about it.
Any additional words RE: customs tonight?

To be fair, short of Far Crys Map Editor I havent seen anything relevant thats better, Halo's forge has a nice lego sort of quality to it, which makes it a bit limited, but also quite fun, you can just sort of work with the blocks provided.
Some people have made amazing things out of it, so while its not brilliant, I wouldnt call it too basic either.

Really? I don't remember seeing that, but its not a bad idea at all.MagniHarvald said:
I'd like to know why sometimes, when I melee a player *I* lose my shields as well. It doesn't always happen, but happens often enough that somebody can just turn around after I hit them and kill me with one smack.

Every time I used armor lock to get that achievement yesterday, the ghost/warthog/mongoose ALWAYS just used me as a damn ramp when I would otherwise be splattered. It was so frustrating; apparently, I was locking too early and gave the driver a chance to slow down.
And then while having armlock enabled, I would use it strategically....since I already had it. Watching a teammate come to my rescue when I should have died made me feel so dirty. lol

This is key stuff. If you can not get shot for like one second before having to armor lock by the time you are out of a full armor lock you will start regaining shields and this makes it so you are no longer one shot...which is really nice for escaping.
This post brought to you by an armor lock hero.

I always envisioned an old schoolmarm reading you Intel from a book, wearing glasses, one of those poofy 19th century Victorian dresses, and a large hat or bonnet.... but the entry I quoted above is heads and shoulders over all the other entries. The quality of work and the use of Noble Team's symbol is epic.
