Whaa I tried some of these in a custom game with no luck. I thought you had to do MM.
Will try and see if this works. Thank you sir!

Was he against HaloGAF OT? I don't remember who was on each side of that discussion.Letters said:
I think it would be a shame to stop Reach at OT6. Let it get to OT7 and once that hits 20,000 posts make the next community thread be HaloGAF OT1.
You can't do it with the on-disc stockpile gametype. You have to save the variant from matchmaking (or download it from someone's fileshare).Deadly Cyclone said:
After a long time of trying to do it in MM, I finally just did it in custom games. 1400/1400

Does this work for the other two I need,
You Ate All the Chips
Noble 1: Collect all of the flags in a matchmade Stockpile game.
Cross-Mappin'
Noble 1: Kill a player at long range with the DMR in a matchmade Slayer game.
?

Only works for the Defiant Stockpile achievement, I think.
I got the DMR cross-mapping one by shooting a Banshee, but that was in matchmaking.

TheOddOne said:Nope, those you have to do in normal matchmaking. Get a group of friends and do it
The only chievo I need is Offensive Driver :\
I need that one as well. What playlist is Rocket Race in now?
The "You Ate All the Chips" and "Cross Mappin" achievements may kill me.

It's in Multi Team right now as rocket hog race. It shows up pretty frequently so you shouldn't have a problem getting it

I wonder if all the power weapons in the classic versions of the new maps have drop spawns so they can be timed like in Halo CE?

Nostalgia overload. So good. Switching to power weapon timers (where teams control respawns based on when they drop snipers, rockets, etc.) was one of my least favorite design decisions in Halo 2 multiplayer.FyreWulff said:

I think we should get a group together to mop up Reach achievements anyone needs. Anyone down?

I'd be down for that.Deadly Cyclone said:
I can do the OT. Besides, next title is already decided: "What are They to Say Now?"

If we really are going to HaloGAF OT1 later I think the last Reach title should be:
Halo: Reach |OT7| This is the way the thread ends.

Well, not sure when specifically. I could give them a shot tonight for a bit, or we could do this weekend sometime.
Dax/Gui what work for you two?

Beats me. I'm not about to post my thoughts on that whole news story because I'm pretty sure I'd be banned for my stance. I saw it long before Gaf got a hold of it and knew better. Gaf is a very liberal place. I mean very liberal. So that's why I tend to just keep my mouth shut over there in OT unless it's something entertainment of just straight screwed up like murder etc.
Here is what I suggest we do. First let's get a hold of Ghal. Then we can help post it via someone else. Whoever it is will give him the credit he deserves and it will still be every bit a great thread.

What if Halo 4 returned to this, but incorporated a form of ATLAS into the game?Syracuse022 said:
ATLAS 2.0
- Accessed by holding, say, D-Pad Down.
- Brings up an overhead layout of the map.
- Current locations of your teammates and their statuses (i.e. blue - safe, yellow - taking fire, red X - trounced)
- Weapon layout on the map.
The weapon icons change to red 20 seconds before they respawn, change to green for the 10 seconds after respawn, then change back to the default black background. The icons don't disappear or change to indicate if someone has picked the weapon up, they only tell you when it is about to respawn (or just respawned). So you won't suddenly see the Rocket Launcher icon disappear and know that an enemy nabbed it, but three minutes later you would see the RL icon change to red then green.
Basically it makes timing weapon spawns easier for casual players. MLG can disable the map view, or maybe just select parts (i.e. show the layout but no player positions or weapon respawns).
- What if you could use screenshots of your Forge creation to make your own map layout for ATLAS 2.0?
When you take the screenshot, the game records the camera coordinates and uses the weapon coordinates to place the icons on the ATLAS map (it also places icons for the Red and Blue flag spawns, which only show up on the map in the appropriate CTF games).
During the game, the system takes player locations and does the required coordinate transformations to put their dots on the map. That, or the map layout tool locks you to certain camera angles to make the coordinate system easier to use (i.e. overhead so you only deal with X and Y translations).
Even without the in-game updates to player locations and weapon respawns, a static map of weapon locations for Forge variants would be really helpful and could be done with a simple stamp tool. (I'm sure the full idea would be insanely complicated to program. I'm just daydreaming here.)

So got a reply from Ghal. It was indeed for that post in that thread. Asked how long it's for. Will let everyone know when he replies.

Ah. Well that's not that bad. He'll just have to have someone do OT7 for him then. Or halogaf. Or whatever we decide.
Oh and put me down for the Reach achievements.
These are the only two I need.
We also should get a group together for Halo 2 PC to get all the multiplayer ones in that.

FU Amazon. FU. They sent me a e-mail, that there is a Glasslands delay. I'm getting my copy two weeks or a month later in bad case. WTF? I'm pre-ordering the book to get it on Day 1 or in the first week.

Well if it's on the distributer or publishers end there is nothing they can do about it. Maybe it's honestly delayed over there.

Who knows. I think lately we've all been getting a bit angry with each other. Between the arguing about Anniversary and the Kinect stuff and the TU changes, etc we've all been a bit temperamental.
I'm sure he's probably already asked someone or will. It will all be ok.

Yeah, I've been looking at the Glasslands page with curiosity for the past week.Hypertrooper said:
I think the publisher slashed the shipment (to Europe at least, Amazon.com is still offering Day One).
Any word on this Frankie?

I pre-ordered the paperback of Glasslands, and that's only shipping in November, too.
I'm getting the feeling Amazon's been having a little trouble with their shipments, lately. They kept postponing sending me Lord of Souls, too: now they grouped it in with my Glasslands order.
