Ouch, probably wouldn't have done anything for you anyway, even if you COULD enter the cockpit it probably wouldn't trigger the on rails event anyhow. You simply would have been stuck in the area preceding it.

Take a look at Ghals epic post on the last page, it would be interesting to explore the possibilities of where you could go with that Falcon. I wonder if its possible to get that Elite to board that Falcon in a consistent way?

Welcome back, it was good raging and yelling at my tv with you for a bunch of games.
This game made me rage hard: http://www.bungie.net/stats/reach/gamestats.aspx?gameid=539809345&player=AnArmorLockHero
It was all fucking shotguns and swords on Countdown, that map is fucked up right now in Doubles.

Probably not too far, most of the campaign missions don't have much outside the level boundaries or have soft kill barriers or invisible roofs
. I managed to get really up high in Winter Contingency from just using nades, sprinting and jumping in the section after you meet the first set of humans and was disappointed to see an invisible wall blocking any further progress, which was strange considering the distance I had reached shouldn't have been accessible to players playing the mission in the first place.But there has to be some secret spots left because Bungie always has a ton of Easter eggs in their games. Every egg we have seen so far involved reaching fairly simple places. Nothing so far was as complex as the method to obtain the IWHBYD skull in Halo 2/3

Maybe it's a little bit early to talk about the new DLC pack but the hell, I'll do it anyway.
Me and my friends were talking about a perfect DLC pack that would suite us all. We are a very deverse playgroup with one side that is very casual, big team loving and the other side more hardcore MLG like. I'm somewehere inbetween the two groups so I mostly like it all
Well, our conclusion for a pack was a small 2v2 till 4v4 map, around the size of heretic in a covenant themed setting. As 2nt, a map around the size of Last Resort for 4v4 till 8v8, this ine would be in the style of Winter Contingency.
And last, a symetrical Big team map in a city area, skyscrapers that are accesable and a Falcon to fly. The map would be like headlong so far as style goes. But that's not all for this map, one side of the symetrical part could be suitable for Invasion. The problem with Invasion maps is that they don't play out very well for other gametypes and with this concept, I think this ellement could be elimenated.
The other part of the map would just be closed of with forge objects that would be created for the map.

Oozer3993 said:Yep, I'm wrong. It's doable.
I coaxed the Elite into boarding the Falcon, and then hijacked it from him.
Whereabouts could you get by doing that? You can get the Banshees outside the Spire a little later in that level, but thats after you load the Spire so you cant backtrack the mission then, can you fly around the rest of the mission area? So even backtrack?
EDIT: I might try and get control of that falcon sometime, anychance you can post a video to show how you coaxed the Elite to jack it?

Yes, I'd love to see this to, it's a shame this probably isn't doable on Exodus since there aren't any Elites there
And, lol at the bold
No more fucking zero-g in the map packs coming or new Halo games.
Thanks.
Nothing like playing oddball on that tight space shit corridor grenade fest with rockets and swords spawning every other minute and fucking zero-g. I like that map for slayer and flag but shit oddball just sucks so much on there.

There are invisible walls all over the place. You can't get anywhere
. You can't go any farther into the mission and you can't go much farther back. And you're locked into the Falcon and can't get out. I'm going to try plugging in a second controller and leaving that player on the ground which will hopefully keep the "lock you in the Falcon" code from triggering and see where I can get then.Quick tutorial on how I did it:
1. Load up Rally Point Alpha in Tip of the Spear. I put it on Normal and turned on the Thunderstorm skull to make the Elite tougher so it can survive the Pelican and Marines that it drops off.
2. Kill everything in that area (including your own Marines who get dropped in because they'll try to kill the Elite) other than the Elite. This should trigger the Falcon to drop down.
3. Hop in a Revenant (other vehicles might work too, but I used a Revenant) and push the Falcon over to the Elite (I couldn't get him to move out of the immediate area he was in so I brought the Falcon to him). This is a little tricky as the Falcon will keep trying to float back to it's waypoint and the Elite doesn't always play along. Eventually he'll hijack the Falcon.
4. Be very careful and attempt to hijack it back. The Elite should fly low to the ground to help you out, but he's very erratic (homeboy had one too many brewskies) and he will use the gun on the Falcon, which is quite powerful.

Make it temporary and interactive. Whatever happened to maps with interactive elements? Halo 2 shined here. Relic teleport, Terminal train, waterworks stalagmites, Zanzibar/containment gates.
In Halo 3 we had some, most notably Standoff. In reach there's nothing cool on the maps ex ept the underwhelming low g.

So true! The low g room in Condemned is actually not all that fun. I expect to be able to jump higher but it's like Powerhouse step all over again.Jack Scofield said:

I think part of the reason is potentially messing stuff up (not gameplay-wise, processing-wise) in Forge. Like, geomerging an object into Last Resort's fan could potentially cause a huge framerate drop whe the fanblade still remained "inside" the object.A27 Tawpgun said:
Yes, I know you had no immovable objects, I used some trick involving teleporters and one of those huge containers or something like that.

Last Resort was great for interactivity. The bridge trigger, the wheel and the gate switch. The switch and trigger both very handy.

I remember posting on bnet way back when about the key map points. I think some employee mentioned resources or some such but it was a nice way to implement focus into a game. Sure I could steal the flag on high Grounds but capping it was so much easier with the gate opened...Dani said:
The elements in Zanzibar and Relic were key for winning games in 1-flag or 1-bomb. The gate getting opened lured in a possible Ghost or allowing the Warthog to have further access to shoot. Relic's teleporter was key for quick access across the island which was necessary for the skirmish games.

Waterworks didn't have any interactive stalagmites.
I don't think that was quite it. They were going to include any elements they had planned for the multiplayer maps, but didn't end up using any of them. This is Tyson Greene when he was talking about Forge:MrBig said:
Interactive objects: Do they exist?
Open-able doors, switches, glass?
Afraid not. We ended up not using many of these at all on our maps, so we didn't spend a lot of time building them. Those that we did build were very map specific.

I played through much of the LASO Challenge for my daughter - she did the ground vehicle sections, I did much of the rest - and she got nearly 16,000 cR for it thanks to today's daily Challenge for the Iron skull. She'd just gotten promoted to Captain last night, which she was very excited about. It takes 23,000 cR to get the next promotion, so that one game shot the bar 3/4 of the way there. It was pretty awesome. :lol

I love your idea! its something i like to think about even though i cant get the last maps because i cant buy them but i always like the idea for new maps especially hours about the skyscrapers that are symetrical andd that you can fly to them it would be crazy lol you could be so high in the air and people would be on the road way below and youd fight i think invasion is dumb though so there no point in having part of the map being invasion but i dont want to be selfish so i know some people like it so maybe bungie can have a vote and seeTha Robbertster said:
hey that a good idea! why dont bungie have votes when you start the game that asks questions? they could ask us all sorts of things and everyone who plays online can vote so bungie would know but you can only vote once so not being selfish. and for offline people they can have you call phone number and vote through your phone as long as you have phone of course
is anyone making a video because i have video they could put in it if they want someone even render it in high quality so it looks extra good here it is

Stockpile belongs on symmetrical maps; I can see it working OK on maps like Tempest, Anchor 9, Asylum, Zealot, and Countdown. I often see it on Powerhouse where it benefits blue team where they can toss red's flag off the ledge so it takes another two minutes to get them back up, whereas if blue team's flag gets tossed out of its zone, you can only throw it off the building. Symmetrical maps only and that'll be fine, otherwise it's not really fun.Hey You said:

Rocket Hog Race on Breakpoint really doesn't wor well. There is only 2 routes to take... either clockwise around the map or counter clockwise. Why on earth Bungie decided to make the hill zones so low is beyond me. By the bridge on the defender's side there is one point and if you go at it from the bridge, the sliht bump in the ground will send you over it ever so slightly. Why???
