Less than 50% Awesome, More than 50% Poop. =\

Yep, I don't know why they keep the shit modes, guess someone doesn't want to hurt someone else's feelings.

These probably also contribute to quitting, getting forced to play crap will not make people want to play.

 

[feel]

I'm a bit sick of all the ALing, camoing/jamming, and all other sanctioned ways of griefing, plus bad maps and bad objective/weapons/timers management, so I'm looking forward till they fix the gravity in MLG and Trueskill shoots the no-lifes out of my zone, to make it my hangout of choice in Reach. No Sprint the very moment you spawn was a nice surprise. Will make an effort to get used to bumperjumper in Reach so I can jump between Halo 3 (TS) and Reach (mlg) without problem. Nothing against Reach, but I would just play Halo 3 since I find it way more fun, but it gets lonely over there playing always with randoms since noone I know ever wants to play it.

 

[Tashi]

Had a pretty damn intense game of Sanctuary Territories earlier, MLG style. Damn, shit was craaazy.

 

[electricpirate]

I'd be really curious to see what people are actually voting for. I seem to see Team Headhunter all the time, but I never seem to see Team Stockpile get any votes. I really like both modes, especially Headhunter on asylum/zealot, and stockpile Pro on Countdown. Some of my favorite map/mode combinations of any Halo game.

I understand I have pretty different tastes than the Halo community at large, and the HaloGaf for objective games (Halo 3 Territories, I will always <3 you), but My anecdotal evidence points to lots of people voting the shit out headhunter.

Stockpile, which I also love though, seems to get constantly shunned in voting.

 

[Kuroyume]

Give us solo Arena.

 

[enzo_gt]

Something something uneven terrain something something.

I don't remember the terrain being completely flat in Sanctuary.

 

[zumphry]

I was considering doing something like I did before Halo 2 was slaughtered and play Halo 3 a few times a week.

But that'll only happen after my space barbie gets his Security helmet.

 

[op_ivy]

just had my most fun halo game in the new maps in a multiflag ctf game on tempest. immediately out of the gate i jump in the hog with a gunner. we drive down and around the corner heading for the middle hill at breakneck speeds. apparently the other team did the exact same thing and as we both reached the crest we slammed into each other head on, both hogs launched into the air erupting in flames.

later, i take the hog with a gunner to the other base. i jump out and grab the flag, while my gunner covers me. i jump in the passenger seat, hoping for a driver and my gunner takes over as driver. just as the driver gets in and the hog starts to pull away, i get jacked from the passenger seat, leaving the flag on the ground as the hog speeds away with a player from the other team.

in another attempt at the flag, i'm escorting a teammate in an attempted flag capture. i grab the flag, but get killed, and the other team immediately drops a bubble shield over 4 of them to recover it. my teammate charges inside the bubbleshield, grabs the flag, and gets an overkill of flag beatdowns as i watch waiting to respawn.


EDIT: almost forgot, with a minute left, i used AL to reflect a rocket back into an opponent. then got his rockets and sniper rifle after a humpin :lol

game ended 0-0

i feel like i should make a ghaleon picture story post

 

[Captain Blood]

I am excited to check out MLG. I will be hopping on after the gym tonight so hopefully peeps are on

Golden Grahms. Ahh the good old days.

This.

 

[Hydranockz]

Give us solo Arena.

Either you mean something like Halo 3's 1v1 playlist or Arena Lone Wolves. Either way, both of those are ideas that will never work well or not even be implemented to begin with.

 

[Striker]

Either you mean something like Halo 3's 1v1 playlist or Arena Lone Wolves. Either way, both of those are ideas that will never work well or not even be implemented to begin with.

I think he means FFA Arena.

I've always wished there was a Big Team Objective: Flag and Bomb games only. (2-flag, 1-flag, 1-bomb, 2-bomb, neutral bomb)

But the split between that and BTB Slayer would probably split the player base too much.

It's not that, it's Bungie gets too Slayer happy with many playlists like this. Why include all of original Slayer, Snipers, Elite Slayer, and another Slayer variant, Headhunter? It's too much. Where the hell is Multi-bomb? One Bomb? Why is this neglected? Weight objectives far more and it will be more enjoyable.

Team Objective is similar. It hopes too much on stuff like Stockpile, Hot Potato, and Headhunter. Where's the majority action of flag and bomb? 3 Plots is great, too. I wish they would make a Halo: Reach map-gametype combo list like they did for Halo 2.

You just reminded me that 2-bomb Assault was never put in Halo 3's BTB. And looking at Reach's playlist, it's not there either. I wonder why they don't like it. I think it's a nice compliment to CTF.

BTB is currently:

Big Team Slayer
BTB Snipers
Elite Slayer
Team Headhunter
1 Flag CTF
Multiflag CTF
Stockpile
Territories​

It's split 50/50 Slayer/Objective, but there are no Assault games at all.

 

[NOKYARD]

A bit late to the party, but speaking of taking down Banshees on Breakpoint i captured the 77 & 0 Banshee domination (YouTube) i witnessed last night. They were really trying to team shoot it down, but i suspect they were all too busy respawning.

 

[The Librarian]

Less than 50% Awesome, More than 50% Poop. =\

You're calling 3 Plots, Team Stockpile and Team Headhunter, "poop"?

And you're calling Team Hot Potato, probably the most hilarious and fun objective gametype "super poop"?

That's not right.

 

[MrBig]

We need Headlong.

Ill play it with you, im in the same boat actually, I would play Halo 3, but since its tough to get games a lot of my friends arent as addicted anymore.

Whats your GT?

I plan on switching between Halo Reach, Assassins Creed and Black Ops - adding Halo 3 to that mix is gonna make my Xbox disk tray wear out. It actually sucks that theres so many games I wanna play but so much important stuff getting in the way. :lol

 

[CrazedArabMan]

We need Headlong.

Yes we do, but I can see the AL's ruining it. :/

Though nothing can beat Sudden Death with both teams rushing the flag in the middle of the dirt area between the 2 bases. Good times.

 

[Plywood]

We need Headlong.

We need a huge remake map pack.

 

[op_ivy]

We need a huge remake map pack.

i'd LOVE this. seriously, bungie should hire some people (certain affinity?) and remake ALL the community favorite maps from each game. easy $$$ + it would be a cool way for the halo series to get a sendoff from bungie IMO

Do it. Then have a Classic playlist with Forge remakes and actual remakes, along with appropriate gametypes. There's no reason not to.

 

[timetokill]

So hey guys, does it only count as a quit when you quit out in-game, and not in-lobby?

You'll get a DNF if you quit as soon as it finds a match.

Really? Damn. :\

 

[Hey You]

Gravity Fix deployed:

We have deployed a fix for gravity in the MLG playlist, it may take up to 30 minutes for everyone to sync the fixed gametypes.

We'll continue to evaluate further reports of player and weapon spawning issues, but we wanted to get the gravity fix in as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience, I apologize for the inconvenience.

Sweet, now when I get teabagged my head won't cave in.

 

[Barrow Roll]

I didn't get a chance to play with the messed up gravity but my first MLG playlist experience was awesome. No more double melee, no AL, fast and frenetic gameplay. Fuck yeah. Me and some randoms were down a player and still managed to kick ass, 50-36.

Anyone wanna join me? GT: Barrow Roll

 

[Arnie]

Gravity fixed already... damn I thought this was going to be an early night.

I seriously hope someone at Bungie looks at that and considers nerfing the Banshee on Breakpoint.

 

[Domino Theory]

Nah, the real solution is to force everyone to spawn with Armor Lock by default.

Checkpoints in campaign?
Really? What problems have you been having?

Quick screenshot to show off my armor that I plan on sticking with for a while... now that I got it the way I want it:

Won the game with a double kill.

I hate watching streams, it seems so alien to watch someone else play in a different style than me. There's hardly even any difference, it just the little irks and timings that get me.

e: Tried out MLG Sanctuary for CTF. Plays much much better than Asylum. Forge needs a broader color palette

 

[Hydranockz]

Prepare yourselves.

First there was Armour Clock!

Then flew in JetQuack!

Then I foolishly asked for HaloGaf's opinion. Besides Zayne's ideas I realised l wasn't gonna get many ideas while you were all bickering! So I give you... with the help of HaloGaf, of which Shogun is a part of, who came up with the name of...

I <3 you all really.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

:lol :lol
Wonderfully ridiculous.

 

[Domino Theory]

Is JetQuak Chinner's new handle?

You know, Chinner's duck is the first result when you Google image search the term 'duck'. :lol

Wait, what?!? I came up with HoloGAF for you!

 

[LordPhoque]

Checkpoints in campaign?

Yes, in campaign, curently doing my legendary playthrough.
Well sometimes they just won't trigger so I'd have to start a whole section all over again. Sometimes I'll receive a checkpoint at the exact same moment. Shit makes no sense at all.
Overall they are just too rare.

HaloGaf bitching at it's own creation.

I edited to be a clearer that this was by no means a singular effort

I wasn't really mad, bromango, but I'm still gonna assassinate that ass.

Which reminds me, you need to make up a Bromango.

 

[Willeth]

I think I've figured out why I like Reach so much. It's because I'm a lot better at it.

It took me years to get a Perfection or Extermination in Halo 3. I've got them both in Reach already.

 

[zumphry]

I wasn't really mad, bromango, but I'm still gonna assassinate that ass.

Which reminds me, you need to make up a Bromango.

It better be a real mango with spikey hair, a spray tan, popped pink Ed Hardy shirt, aviators (or whatever brahs wear), Jesus necklace, and backwards college football hat for full effect.

Or a mango on Spire spawning his battlebro mango.

 

[Blueblur1]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that hates those quick Banshee spawns on Breakpoint. I've had a hard time taking down Banshee after Babshee with even average teammates . It gets pretty ridiculous.

Oh and I hate jetpacks on Tempest but I doubt they'll be taken out. Goddamn Jetpackers.

 

[neoism]

Gravity fixed already... damn I thought this was going to be an early night.

Damn got to say that is the most fun I've had with the game in awhile... :O Assault 5 on Sanctuary. Which is waay better than Asylum. We won with 1 down 2/0
Fun Fun Fun I can't wait to play with some of you guys. <3
