Get better at Grifball? (insert smiley here)Major Williams said:
This has been discussed within the Grifball community since day one. It was decided that we were not going to let the terrorists win and strip search grandma at the airport (not make changes which ruin the game for legit players due to assholes who grief).
Would solve the "pussyfooting" problem. Gives me an idea for an interesting variant.equil said:

With Firefight limited I assume Friendly Fire is off? Im tempted to shove Reach in and give it a go (after all it was awesome on ODST). But the idea of AFK'ers and Griefers is putting me off.

However, see this match here: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/GameStats.aspx?gameid=447927356&player=Major%20WiIIiams
If the team as a whole sucks, even 1 individual who is trying doesn't make up for the other 3 who aren't. It's a completely team-oriented variant. No matter what strategy I tried, even when I would end one guy's spree, another would come in his place.

Wow! That one guy had over 80 kills. That's so cool. Oh, wait, it's totally the opposite of cool since he was abusing a gametype in order to, one assumes, improve his K/D or fulfill a challenge. The thing is I can't even get mad at him because the game he is playing rewards him for breaking it. Bummer dudes.

Reading Halo Cryptum - There is a place SERIOUSLY called "Janjur Qom".
Seriously what the hell. I liked Halo because it left behind stupid Sci Fi names; only unless you REALLY dove into the latin names of the species of the Covenant did you get names like that. Now I have to sound out Janjur Qom because its the name of an actual planet.
I really liked: Delta Halo, Prophets, Arbiter, Reach, Onyx, Lighter than some, Didact etc - normal words used in different contexts. Now, Janjur Qom. wtf.

? Janjur Qom isn't in there, and it's been around for awhile, but still. I take back the Greg Bear comment. It still shouldn't be in there.LAUGHTREY said:
A bit ot maybe, but I played some Halo 3 today and seem to have improved quite a bit by playing reach. Halo 3 was my first contact with the series and I never was any good at it, today though I got my first killing frenzy and did pretty good overall. Does anyone else still play this? when can I find people online? social slayer seems fine but most other playlists were sub 500 players today.

If everyone sends me links to fileshare stuff I'll render it all in HD and make up a montage.
My first game of FF Limited was very fun. I was the last man standing twice, on the boss wave of the first Round, and a ways into the second. My only death was at the very end after everyone else was gone, and I got ambushed by two Elites back in the safe house when I thought there was only one left. I really missed that feeling of oh shit, no lives left...that ODST had.
My team mates left something to be desired.

Hah.
I loaded up Reach, saw the weekly... Gave it a try, failed... Now I am playing Trials.
Blind, the revert skull, and the health regen skull... They all suck.

Haha, thanks.
I love how you guys are liking this map. It's surprising, really.
Now, I just need an Xbox so I can actually enjoy it with you guys.

Hey You said:
Like I said there if they do decide to do some classic playlist there needs to be at least two. You need a classic objective playlist and a classic team slayer playlist for those of us who aren't fans of the objective gametypes.

So would anyone be down for a Retro-Custom Halo 3 night this weekend or next? I'v mentioned it to a couple people, looking at you Vh, and they said they would interested. I'm curious to see what other people think. It would be fun to go back to H3 for a night to see how different it is and shoot that glorious BR one more time. I just hope Dani still has all those awesome maps on his HD...

Just got the weekly by myself. It wasn't too bad. It took less than 30 minutes to complete. I mostly ran/drove through everything and kicked back while Kat was trying to close the door. After that, all you really need is patience and aim.
Firefight Limited is pretty awesome. Had some great last man standing, um, stands, holding off for 2-3 minutes against a full Elite General wave solo to revive my two team mates midway through the second Round. We went on to survive through the bonus round at the end. I partied up with them, and we did a few other games together, including a fantastic Legendary game on Corvette. Brutal, but oh so good.
Lots of idlers/droppers, but they mostly dropped out after a while - I'm wondering if Bungie found a way to kick them, or if they just quit after a few minutes. Either way, not too bad. Some crappy players were drains on the lives pool, but that's life.
Fantastic, intense (and lucrative cR payout) playlist. I'll be living in it nightly until it goes away.
Crashsite is a disappointment, though. It's still two Phantoms dumping a zilliion guys right on top of the lone generator. I'd rather it be us trying to defend the generator from a ton of hard enemies dropped a ways away, whittling them down and trying to hold the position.

Finally got Security. Have to say that this whole cR system is complete ass. I can't remember how Security was unlocked in the previous game but I believe it didn't take nearly as long to unlock that and everything else. Also, this got me thinking back to when they first revealed the game. I may be mistaken but I recall them saying that the campaign was going to have a lot of branching paths and that players would be rewarded for exploring. I thought maybe they were going to scatter armory pieces throughout the campaign but that wasn't the case... Hell, I can't think of a single thing that anyone found that was worth talking about.
Btw, I need to find a new playlsit. Getting tired of Multi Team and its AL/Evade + AR bullshit. I want BTB but the vehicles drive me crazy. Why did they have to make the explosion vehicles like the Tank and Banshee so damn stupid powerful?

Hell yeah!
I remember actually asking Dani if he thought the community would be up for a old school Halo 3 customs night a while back, I would personally love to jump on Halo 3 for a bit.
Whats your GT out of interest? If theres enough people on we could probably even have a impromptu Halo 3 session sometime.

Yea but nobody has to render anything I'm going to download them and render them on my computer in theater.
Just throw up links to fileshares and I'll queue the download.
Everyone, seriously.
