About the Forge contest... I know nothings finalized and details haven't been released.. but are we to expect a panel of judges to look at a group of maps built by people within the time given and give scores based on certain criteria? Or a community vote?
Just wondering how that was going to go down.

Easy option is criss crossing DMR's, or maybe the Spartan symbol? (Either the Halo one or the actual Greek Spartan one) Theres probably more decorative stuff to use though.
Looks amazing by the way, how do you do it? Vector tools or Drawing tablet?

Currently, armor pieces are equally meaningless things to add to your character for people to grind credits for. Only difference is there are a lot fewer armor pieces and the only social aspect the armory promotes is idlers.
With loot drops, the system can, at the very least, promote players to play the game. Kills, objective captures, or finishing a match under a certain time could all have a chance to reward the player. With a credit system that rewards you for time spent in the game, you have people actively seeking out the easiest means to spend time for credits which leads to idlers.

Was modding an issue in Halo 3 I thought Halo 3 fixed that?
Was standbying an issue? Maybe but not as common, I think Bungie detects lag-filled games now anyways and would eventually give out a ban.
Bridging Host? No. Can't in H3, at least in Ranked...I think?
People mostly got their 50s legit in H3, unless bought. If you remove that by taking away a couple ranks every month and no highest skill, there isn't much to do against it.
You could get competitive games in almost any playlist you play regularly.
I feel the methods to prevent abuse could be even better by the next Halo also.
I'd love to see it returned. Arena is so blah, and social is so lackadaisical and constantly ruined by guests. Even if I do enjoy pooping on them so often.

No one's saying you have to grind. Just play the game as you normally would, save up credits, and spend them on the specific armor pieces you want. I sometimes play certain modes/maps/gametypes specifically for the credit bonus that comes with completing Challenges, but I never do so if it isn't fun.Ken said:
The end point is the same. You are adding meaningless things to the game. I don't care about armor in Reach. I don't care about hats in TF2. I play games I want to play because they look cool first and then the only reason I stay is if they are fun to play. Adding pretty things to your character doesnt do that.Ken said:
omg.kittens said:
Sounds like a grind to me. You're still playing hundreds of games with the end goal of spending all your earnings on one helmet, and the road there is a long and usually unrewarding one.
omg.kittens said:
That would be great if everyone thought the same way, but people still complain about low credit payouts in challenges, especially weeklies (like play x amount of FF waves), but do them anyways.
MrBig said:
I'm pretty sure the discussion I'm following is about ways to make the armory system better. If you don't care about armor and the armory system, then I'm not sure why you seem so against random loot drops when they wouldn't affect you.

You mean the best rank in Halo 3? Yeah it does.Tashi0106 said:

Are they allowed to use it? Bungie has copyright of the Marathon symbol and 343i has the rights for the Spartan 2 symbol.Tha Robbertster said:
Edit.: About the Firefight Score Attack tournament it looks like, that the 343i isn't organizing it. I think, they just provide the prizes and the consoles + TVs. I hope I can play a round, because it is for charity.
Individually they are weak, but as a bundle they form...Tashi0106 said:lol how many perches did you have?

No, my goal in playing hundreds of games is to have fun. Accruing credits is a secondary motivator at best, and I think that's true for most folks. That's the role a playing incentive system is supposed to play, and while Challenges do shift playlist populations, I don't think it can be said that those people are playing Reach merely because they want credits. And if you want to talk about what feels more rewarding, then yeah, I'd much rather go with saving up credits and earning my new shiny death confetti.Ken said:
I think complaints about the paltry payouts that the Challenges offers are legit. Again, people aren't playing for credits necessarily, they just want to be proportionately rewarded for completing what are supposed to be special achievements. Those complaints in no way means that those people are playing the game primarily for the credits.
I dunno, I think we just disagree, and that's okay. I sort of feel like we're arguing in circles, though.
Whoa, that's awesome. Mighty faggot pride.Plywood said:

I miss playing Goldeneye on the N64 with the following options turned on: Big Head DK Mode. Turbo Mode. Slappers Only. One hit to kill. No radar. That was amazing. Hats in halo could be cool.Sai-kun said:

Well he used the weaponry from Halo before. And the logo as of now has a spartan helm. I figure if Tashi can prove he's not all to sell these things he should be able to get them printed. It's just for his team.

Grunt Birthday Party gives all grunts party hats, which can be picked up and worn and unlocked for multiplayer. They can also be shot like rubber bands to impale players.

Occationally, man. Girlfriend has taken most of my time this past year, but I plan on getting back into the swing of all things electronic soon. What's everyone playing these days? Because from I can gather in this thread, no one plays Reach anymore.vhfive said:

How about that awesome moment when losers stand on the wraith and you somehow betray them and then they get to boot you. Great job with that Bungie...

Ah, I have Blops, sounds like something I could get back into. By the time I buy and get used to Trenched would it still be relevant? Looks like a great game.vhfive said:

As for the Campus Safety crest, it really doesn't fit with the name. Thats my only qualm with it.
PS If Frankie or Ellis see this, when are we going to get an update on the machinima contest? My friend and I (2nd and 3rd place most votes) are wondering if we're going to get any notification if we're finalists or not because IGN was suppose to give the top 5 finalists PAX passes.

Also here's what's looking like might be close to the final version, if you guys have opinions or see something wrong/off just speak up =).
