Yup! Whenever your "kills" doesn't match up on certain screens, it's because vehicle downs = kills, but don't count towards "slaying" or "sprees." I learned this in some big team slayer games when my "kills" =/= the final scoreboard.
I'm still bitter about a Firefight Challenge used only once. It was to kill an absurd number of enemies in one game, but before Firefight Doubles was introduced. I cleared the bar in Firefight Limited....including vehicles. I'd taken out 10 (!!) vehicles on Beachhead, but they were the difference between getting and not getting the Challenge. Bitter tears flowed.

I saw once someone name "a wine bottle".
A wine bottle killed you...

Going to play BF3 (on 360, i wonder why i keep telling that), GT is Empyrus in case someone wants to play/sees me. That is, if i can get in a game, there were some issues earlier...

Okay, I need some help understanding this.

Just played a game of Firefight Arcade. Final screen confused me:

We had a guy quit out, but it was during the voting process, before the game started. So can anyone explain that Best Spree?

(Game is [URL="http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/GameStats.aspx?gameid=813456073"]here[/URL], if you need it.)

Edit: Gah - never mind. Just realized I killed 3 Banshees, which don't count towards the spree. :([/QUOTE]
I looked at the picture first, and I thought that was from a multiplayer game. lol

Reminds me of my friend's YMCA Basketball team: "Off Constantly."

They weren't very good. The other teams started to brag about beating them. Then the YMCA made them change the name.

Hmm you know. I was reading a thread on the TMNT. I just happened to wonder what one of them would look like wearing Spartan armor. I bet that would look wicked.

Surprisingly I found nothing on the net. lol

I fully expect Ken to post his rendition of this.

But I would like to see the actual turtle in armor.
 
Was there ever a reason given as to why the Brute Chopper never made it into Reach? Goddamn was that a great vehicle that also had the best hijack animation out of any.

They rebuilt every single vehicle for Reach, and the Brutes had only a small appearance on one level for much of Reach's development (according to post-mortem interviews), so it wouldn't have justified rebuilding it for a small cameo appearance. Maybe.

He obviously is a running riot.

Why is it like that? Shouldn't they have made it "is running a riot" ?

Right now when you get 15 kill spree it just sounds like you are funny. Like "man that guy is a running riot!"

Riot can be a noun. He's an active riot. He's going crazy. He's on fire. etc etc

The vehicles in Reach all got a redesign from their Halo 3 versions. For example, the Warthog now borrows design cues from the Ford Pinto, both in terms of handling and damage modeling.

Bungie tried nerfing the Chopper, but it would not be tamed. Entire builds of Reach were broken by a Chopper that refused to be put down. It roamed from level to level, mowing down anything in its path. The most terrifying variant was of course the "Space Chopper" in the middle section of Long Night of Solace.

The vehicle was finally scrapped and replaced with a Revenant that knew its place.

It's obviously a troll post. Like I said in that thread, even the haters have had to admit that from an artistic perspective Halo is well done.

ROFLMAO. On a serious note the big reason they gave for a lot of stuff added with Halo 3 being gone was due to it being set pre Halo 3.

But the soul still burns, as is the case with the Revenant flying off the map randomly and giving insane sniper aim assist.

Well then shouldn't it have been.

Either:

TheBKCleansing is on a running riot.

or (for the lulz)

TheBKCleansing is an running riot.

But its about consistency, I believe. It says "X is on a killing spree" then "X is on a killing frenzy" then "X is a running riot" then goes back to "X is on a rampage"...I do not like!

"X is Untouchable", "X is Inconceivable", "X is Unfriggenbelievable.", and whatnot. I think it's fine as is.

Just caught up my Challenge spreadsheet by ~700 Challenges. My how time flies.

I wanted to see how the payouts tracked since 343 started doing their thing. I'll add the rest of this week and post the chart on Sunday, so there are two full weeks of dailies captured since 343 took them over fully. Got some analysis to do, but I see what you did there, Mr. Ellis. And I approve.

No. You would use 'an' before a word that started with a vowel. In your example there's no adjective before rampage.

TheBKCleansing is a tumultuous rampage would be grammatically correct. The shitty English language supersedes your OCD, little BK.
