Screams fan hoax to me. Bungie won't announce their next project via a simple web counter like that. Activision is the publisher - it will debut with a bang.

Overheard as my daughter plays her inaugural game of Multiteam just now. Elite Slayer, naturally.

"I had the perfect stick, and then he went into armor lock. That's all anyone is doing - stick, armor lock. Stick, armor lock. This is so dumb!"

Even eight year-olds know armor lock is bad stuff.

A little OT since it deals with Halo 3, but someone just pointed out to me something interesting on another forum.

http://www.badcartridge.com/index.php?/topic/836-halo-reach-community-thread/page__view__findpost__p__16254

Is that true? If so, that's pretty cool.

I really liked that detail when I could actually load The Ark on my disc. Though, I'd always be able to get the Chieftain to stay around the staircase leading up to that encounter, or pick off the Jetpack Brutes and Jackal snipers then face him.

There were a couple of threads on BNet talking about the BA.org domain. Its registered to a different person in a different state. I'm pretty sure Bungie hosts all their sites on their own servers.

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.)

A GAF lurker was kind enough to render this for me:
Oh gosh, I did it again

Thank you.

:lol how did he not see it? he barely missed it the first time. Also you're almost to field marshal so"you're fat."

e: I'd just like to point something out again: customs are dead in reach.
I played 4 times as many custom games in H3 as I did matchmaking games. http://www.bungie.net/stats/halo3/careerstats.aspx?player=Mr Kwatz
Right now I have more matchmaking games in reach than I every did in H3/2
Nobody gets a lobby going unless it's pre-organized somewhere.
What killed it?

Why did he even try to drop down the hole? :lol

And I haven't even filled 1/10 of the bar yet. It's going to be an awful grind

Yeah, Multi Team is the worst for that. Always feels like I get 10+ kills taken away from me whenever I play. Whenever I play Elite Slayer, which is way too often, I will sometimes switch over to the AL loadout because it's unfuriating to use anything else... Unless you get on one of the larger maps like Pinnacle and then evade is a good choice because of the needle rifle. With crap like AL and Evade making it to the final game just think of the dumb shit they left on the cutting floor before finishing the game.

Because having sprint + jetpack, camo, armor lock, etc would be an overload.

Even still, sprint is a standard for most FPS. Bungie is the king of balancing things out. I'm 100 percent sure they would've figured something out.

The base speed would just be set higher - what point of sprint is there if its always available and not an ability? Think back to Halo 1/2's regular base speed and how fast it was. No AA's, no equipment to set apart the gameplay.

Customs usually happen to play competativly, or just have a flat out laugh trying out a crazy map. I have a few friends who still jump on Reach for the odd crazy custom, but with the guys I play with we prefer Halo 3 for competative customs.

I doubt less people play customs on Reach - its probably just your friends who arent doing it as much?

Uh, they were both spamming, the jetpack had elevation advantage and scored the head shot before the other guy could land the last body shot. Not sure what the issue is.

Well that right there is my problem with bloom. :lol

Seriously, Halos short - mid range combat used to be about precision and movement, it was VERY fun, and satisfying.

In that video I dont think the guy using the pistol even bothered aiming, and yet got what seemed like a rapid 5 shot. :/
