Wait what one is that again? The one with the thing, and the other thing on the map with the thing?

I only have a slayer/ctf/bomb (and everything else) map now, my WIP Invasion map was started over because the base didn't meet my goal of "looking cool enough". :lol

Edit: Apparently my map Roost is my WIP map Aurora, according to Reach. So I have to go to recent maps and redownload it so I have it. WTF.

Okay, the games were totally fun! I survived many funny situation or got amazing kills.(Especially against Sai-Kun. :lol ). And I found out that ZayneH totally sucks as a driver and a gunner.

I found out Hypertrooper sucks as a gunner.

And that Aerospace is a retirement home simulator.

So, as promised, I played an MLG game. This clip is both an illustration of and metaphor for how it went. (We won, though. And I capped a flag. So there's that.) We went up 2-0, then down 2-4, then rallied for the win.

Next game, I did the best thing I've ever done with a sniper rifle. This is a low standard, mind you. Baby steps.

Some questions about MLG, now that I have sampled its wares. First, what's the reasoning for the delay in equipment activation? Aside from not enabling me to get out of the way of gunfire I spawn into. Second, why on earth are the spawns on Countdown set so each team faces each other? I didn't know that and it was a hailstorm of bullets the second I beeped into life.

Other than that...I kinda liked it.

Knocked off all the Dailies and the Weekly today. That wall of "Completed" is rather satisfying to see, though I want moar. Brigadier is still so far away.

Hey, there we goooooo! I'm proud of you Ghaleon! :p

About the 5 second sprint delay on respawn: I don't know if there was official reasoning from the gametype designer over at MLG but I would guess that aside from what you mentioned, it lets the other team who might be running an objective or arming a bomb time to do just that. It would be extremely difficult to run a flag if you could sprint right off spawn. You can clear a map in a just a few seconds. That's what I think at least.

I totally agree with the initial Countdown spawns. They were much better in v1, they were in the room next to it where jetpack spawns. It was much like the Pit where you weren't sure where the other team was going and how many were going.

I'm hoping for v3 some maps and gametypes get cut and new maps are added. 16 gametypes is a fuck ton. It was 11 for Halo 3 and 7 for Reach v1. 11 is the sweet spot.

Ran into a random dude and three of his guests who refused to leave the lobby after repeatedly getting their dongs handed to them so I decided to stay, too, and milk that K/D as long as they were around. Eventually they said fuck this and left. Dont' know why it took so many games of ownage for them to leave.

It's sometimes enjoyable to play people of a better skill set and to try and improve against them. One day I'll stay in a lobby and play game after game with someone who owned me, and other times I'll leave the second we enter the lobby.

I love the new system where you can keep rematching people - I had a pretty funny night a few weeks after release were we got really competative against another team of 4. We started like trashtalking eachother and by the end where joking about and just having a laugh. On Halo 3 we would have left on bitter terms. :lol

Probably will be fixed by the time someone would see this (Louis Wu), but HBO is down right now (3:44 am), though the forums are still up.

The forums are served from a different state, actually.

Not sure what brought it down, but it's back up now.

Does Reach live coop work with thumb drives? or does it have to be an HDD proper.

Sprint is disabled so you can't catch up to the objective guy as easy right off the spawn.


MLGs initial spawns have always been like that too, I don't remember why though.

I mentioned it yesterday... but I have no idea how to properly make sense of HBO's layouts and stuff :p

Great customs yesterday. Here is the clip of me splattering Sighkoon with my mongoose on that interesting Zanzibar remake if someone has a free minute to spare. Got a pull medal too :p (I had recommended it to get the achievement. I hadn't realised I was unable to choose who to recommend it to.)

Oh. I'm still waiting for ZayneH's Best Sai-Kuns kill montage! Otherwise I have noticed two different groups of players yesterday. The blue dudes, who are trying to play seriously. And the red team who are fu**in had fun. Especially my amazing warthog drive styles.

One of the things I intended to over my break was to play Halo 1 and Reach back to back to help focus my feelings for why I like Reach more than Halo 1. I'm in the middle of Truth and Reconciliation, and I already have tons of points.

Also, playing Reach then jumping straight into Halo 1 is pretty cool to do.:D
