Xbox connect is missing NPPTools.dll. I can't remember where to go to download this. I remember doing it on my old PC.

Download WinPCap. It worked for me. Just do a quick google search. Should be the top link.

Featuring TruBounce Technology! Grenades always go where you want them to go!

I'd like to see a BTB up-sized version of Construct. Could be cool or something, I dunno.

My snarkiness regarding that map is really just for its placement decisions (it only really applies to default Guardian). Overshield behavior and placement were a nightmare- that plus Maulers pre-removal basically killed all the appreciation that I had for the mostly well-designed layout.

That's true. Elbow spawn was crazy-overpowered on base settings. And it really only worked well with BR starts too, but I guess you could say that about all the maps.

MLG Construct was great. Countdown is a poor substitute.

I'm about 73% sure the last MP map is going to be several remakes attached together. Terminal, Headlong and an underground Waterworks.

Ok 72%.

I will never understand why they messed with Grenade physics for Reach.

Seriously. Most of the time I feel like this kid:

I have thought about this too. I just don't see it happening though. Making Halo: CE Anniversary would've been hard enough given the time frame/scope of the project. For them to also do basically as many maps as Reach shipped with is just too much to ask of mere mortals.

There. The above should qualify as a significant enough egg-on-my-face FyreWulffesque post. This will guarantee that I will be buried by ridicule, but at least we'll get moar sweeeet mapz.

I will do a whole set up guide for XBC because it can make someone homicidal trying to set it up.

We shall do Halo 2 customs night soon though.

It'd take a bit of troubleshooting and planning to get everyone working properly. I'm done for the moment,

Yeah that can be annoying. After I noticed you guys were playing, I just reinstalled XBC (usually play on xlink-kai) and hooked the xbox360 to my laptop with an ethernet cable to bypass any kind of router or other issues that could've surfaced, a few seconds later I was in Beaver Creek Battle Rifle heaven.

Construct was great, TS and King (which is missing from MLG today, largely because hill sequencing is broken)
Click to expand...
I was under the impression that sequencing was fixed long ago. Why didn't MLG ever pick it back up? I always enjoyed watching MLG King on Construct.

Well there's no non-Crazy King in matchmaking. I just always assumed they didn't bother.

Such a shame. Normal KOTH is one of my favorite gametypes besides flag in Halo. :-\

A better looking map than Beaver Creek? Headlong in beautiful white/green Reach city style?

Edit.: Awesome I thought that I wouldn't get my HBO t-shirt before PAX. <3. Now I can pick it up locally.

Because the game testing process at MLG was laughable at best until the community spoke up about it after v3 was released. Since then they've tested a lot of community forge maps and gametypes, including King, but it's really up to the community as a whole and the pros to determine if it makes it in or not via the new process.

Looks like a miniature spartan wearing the BOB helmet.
A new gametype based on Giants?

Backwash remake with bright fun happy colors?

I never got to play on that map, why was it so bad, anyway.

Seems like some military containers that would usually sit next to one of the walls for decoration and got moved by a recent skirmish.

I've looked over it closely and it looks almost like a stuffed Spartan toy or something. I know I'm probably wrong though because that doesn't make any sense. Forgive crudeness but see
