I know HBO is really interested. Someone here mentioned the Community Carnage group on bungie.net is interested as well.
I just invited GrifballHub.com. And we've posted the release on the Halo Waypoint forums.
I assume Hitmonchan has talked to some other communites as well, possibly 2old2play and ForgeHub.
Maybe if this gets enough attention we could convince some Bungie folks to hold customs as well? *holds breath*

You mean how they got worse? I've been meaning to make a video about this.
They killed that smooth fast movement in Reach with the addition of momentum to either make it more realistic or have the animations look nicer or something.
In Halo 1, 2, and 3 you could switch directions instantaneously without losing speed. This is what made strafing so effective and the ninja backflips so prevalent. You could instantly switch directions and be moving at top player speed.
With Reach we have momentum, which basically means if you're strafing back and forth, it slows you down before you change directions. Try doing one of those ninja assassinations in Reach. You run forward, tilt the stick back and jump. In halo 3 you would have soared behind your chaser. In Reach, because of momentum, you seemingly jump straight up in the air, even though you meant to jump backwards.
This considerably slowed the game down, made strafing near non-existant, and made the movement feel a lot "clunkier" than the other Halo's.
I really hope the next one removes this momentum system.

Just trying to be funny.Hydranockz said:
I'd still recommend submitting a roster of 18, even if you only intend to field 2 teams. Not trying to be pushy, I just think if there are any throwaway games (i.e. GAF already won/lost twice) it would be nice to already have a list of Gaffers that would like to play and haven't had a chance yet. Not to mention if GAF wins that would be 18 tournament prizes distributed instead of just 12.Tashi0106 said:
Oh, and just fair warning: any butthurt about people being excluded will rest on your shoulders. If only there were some Dark Knight still around to carry such a burden...

Nice! Action Sack super jackpots need to happen more often.GhaleonEB said:
And off-topic, but I can't believe L.A. Noire is coming out Tuesday. It's my most anticipated game of the year, and I can't play it for another month.
ActionSack is probably the most fun I've had in Reach. Speedpile reminds me of Myth multiplayer, but in space with vehicles. So much fun. Except for Dino Blasters. Dino Blasters sucks. A lot.
So I totally see myself just playing that when I'm bored instead of Score Attack now.

Yeah, great games. We've got something to do when Firefight's netcode is feeling crabby, as tonight.ZayneH said:
That game of Hockey was just plain awesome. With assassinations turned off and the tweaks to the arena, it plays so good I was laughing the entire game.
I rendered the rally we had mid way through the game. We're down 0-1, and then Zayne nails the chipshot from the side, and I'm in position to knock two in right away, right over the goalies, then circle around for another.
They work their way back to a 4-4 tie, and after a few close calls, I land the winning shot from our end of the rink, a long lobbing shot that threads their goalies and breaks their hearts.
That game of Hockey might have been the most fun I've had in Multiplayer since Reach came out.
If there's any justice in the world, Hockey would be the new Griffball.
Not sure I've played that. But I'm pretty sure that 16 player Plasmaball > *wwm0nkey said:

No sir. Hockey is amazing.wwm0nkey said:

Well I'd think Nok would prefer it to Grifball, being Canadian and all.
Anyway, here's some clips of mine from tonight:
Why Speedpile is my new favourite thing.
Why I now hate Boom! Ball.
And something from last night in Score Attack:
Whathog?
I have never played Hockey, nor ice skated, other than on a shallow pond behind Wally's cottage with a goalie stick in one hand and my 15th Beer in the other.ZayneH said:Well I'd think Nok would prefer it to Grifball, being Canadian and all.

I've been away for 1 week, could somebody fill me in on all the stuff I've missed if there is anything?
From what I have observed, don't count on it. For selective reasons:Kibbles said:
1) population isn't ideal, therefore not much is expected in changes from here on out
2) Jeremiah mentioned in map additions before, and was looking for primarily Halo 1/2 maps because you can still play The Pit, and Halo 3 ones, already online
3) Would never expect them to even include a Tempest map anyway, unless they made Classic as "Noble DLC" required, which again, won't happen as changes will likely not be made in the future
It's disappointing. The playlist could use maps like Sanctuary, Ascension, Turf, and Prisoner.

I put up a thread at Forge Hub asking if people want to join in on the shenanigans, so if I get a response I'll let you guys know.
This weekly is going to be rough. I might have to actually spread it out over the course of the week, it'll be a long trip on Mythic.
