Question to forgers, are there any objects apart from hill markers and both bomb and flag plates as "Invasion res phase X".
I still don't get why would they ship a map with only 11 hill markers.

My WP7 HaloWaypoint shows me a new article with the title Anniversary Concept Gallery. Can't find the article on the website? :/

The halo anniversary games I've played so far have been fun. The three shot kill pistol really isn't that bad for slayer, I just can't imagine when I hit an objective gametype.. or do they have them at all in the playlist? So far I've been donging on kids. I might put up a review later.
Timberland Anniversary has four snipers, two rockets, two fuel rod guns, one overshield, and three invis? Is that right? Why so much ammunition? I had figured it would rival something similar to Blood Gulch or Coag with a middle heavy weapon, sniper at each base (inside the top), and an invis someplace on the far sides. But geesh.

Anyone have a way to fix thumbsticks from drifting. If I bought new sticks to pop on would that work?

You're gonna have to do like I did when I started working on my Invasion variant and just make a canvas out of Breakneck. Breakneck uses a crapton of everything, it even uses all 250-something respawn points by default. Any Invasion variant you make is gonna have to be a standalone variant. That way you'll get all 50-100something hill markers back.

I believe they fixed those achievements with the TU so that you have to obtain them on a map from the specified map pack.Karl2177 said:

Okay, day-dreaming time:
TU2 changelist: (determined by gametype, just like TU1)
- Option to disable fall damage.
- ROF adjustment for the zero-bloom DMR.
- Vehicle damage model adjustment.
- Shield recharge delay reduction.
- Grenade adjustment (damage/radius reduction or fuse lengthening)
- Banshee nerf.
Which allows the creation of:
The Halo 2 Playlist
- 4v4 Slayer & Objective (until the population explodes and it can be split into two playlists)
- Applies the TU2 changes to the Classic gametypes
- ZB DMR start, no Anniversary pistol
- Requires: Reach disc maps, Anniversary map pack
Maps:
Battle Creek Anniversary: Beaver Creek
Hang 'em High Anniversary: Tombstone
Headlong Anniversary
FW: Sanctuary (not Asylum)
FW: Ascension (not Pinnacle)
FW: Coagulation (you get the picture)
FW: Warlock
FW: Lockout
FW: Turf
FW: Elongation
FW: Midship
Reflection: Ivory Tower
- If any of the Forge maps can be remade in Anniversary to improve the framerate, do so (like the superior Tempest variant of Lockout, but I wouldn't require Noble DLC just for that one map). If Lockout can be built on Timberlands it would be nice to have that non-FW skybox.
- I wouldn't be opposed to another map pack in March with 3 Halo 2 remakes: Waterworks, Terminal, Relic. Or maybe a proper Turf remake.
Just day-dreaming though. I'll be surprised if we get a TU2 and another map pack, doubly so if it's full of Halo 2 maps.

What a difference a map makes (or six).
I like Reach anyway, but the maps are its weakest area. These Anniversary maps are sooo much fun to play on. Really hammers home the importance of stellar maps to Halo 4's success. High Noon is beautiful.
The three shot pistol is fun against bks; I haven't played a full team of tumescent dongers yet to see how bad it is when team shot.
Loving what I'm playing so far.

Absolutely. It was the starkest difference between Halo 2 and Halo 3, and it became even more apparent when Reach released with its default garbage maps. I can still enjoy the game, but holy crap is it nice to have some top tier maps again.thee henery said:

This just happened to me with the gray controller with the convertible D-pad. I tried to fix it but had no luck. What I ended up doing was making a hybrid controller. I took an older controller that didn't have the problem and my newer one and opened them both up. Then I took off the parts front the old chipboard and replaced them with parts from the new one (sticks and triggers). I then put the old chipboard with new parts into the newer controller body and BAM!
The stick assembly themselves are soldered on so unless you want to get serious my method is probably the best. That or you can put up with it or buy a new one.
Edit: Instructions for taking it apart and changing the sticks.
It calls for a security T8 but I used a T9 and it worked well. A few screws were stubborn and I jammed a screwdriver in for those ones.
DP on purpose...
I played 3 rounds so far. First was FFA Anniversary Slayer. I did not like it. It was way too fast and ridiculous. My last round I played Anniversary Classic on HeH on a team. THAT was fun. The changed rate of fire on the pistol with a bit of bloom was good stuff I thought. Fast game play but not too fast to be frustrating. We took first and I had the most kills, good stuff.
I haven't been following this thread or Halo much for the past month or 2 (which felt nice taking a break) so I'm behind on playlists. Do we have a list with all changes? What is the difference in Anniversary Classic Slayer and Anniversary Slayer? 1 has CE pistol and 1 doesn't'?

What I have to say, these maps are a lot of fun. A fun I hadn't for while. First the maps are beautiful. It's the mystery I missed in Reach's maps. Areas I want to explore more. I hope Halo 4 will have much more epic settings(But the art teaser showed that already). The maps play all very good. Even there is a lot of power weapons on them, I haven't seen the use of them a lot. People use the pistole or the DMR a lot more. Otherwise this are still day 1 experiences. People will know the weapon layout very soon...
One thing I dislike is that Classic and the normal gametypes are mixed together. Both play too much differently. Always need some time to adapt. Maybe keep out the Classic gametypes and let them Classic playlist only. But I always talk about a lot of stuff I don't know.
Awesome! Next time implant the names better.Tashi0106 said:
Because I like the cutting, and would even say that this is a official trailer, if there weren't the shitty names on the left top corner. lol. (And I retweeted your tweet )If Hydranockz manages to get more than 20 kills in a match, then there is something wrong in terms of gameplay.Tha Robbertster said:Wow, the gauss hog is a tad overpowered on Headlong

If Hydra gets one kill with anything, than you have to question balancing in the game!

Waiting anxiously for the Anniversary MP to finish downloading. Good to see that the majority of the feedback as far as the playlist and TU changes/additions has been mostly positive. Thought I'd share a couple of vanilla clips with you guys before moving on to new hotness and finally getting my hands on that TSK pistol.
Pest control
Some decided to purposely park himself in front of my wraith maybe for the betrayal and boot or simply just for the standard Halo MM BTB random ****'s and giggles. After a few feeble attempts to shake him off I finally manage to swat the bastard in probably the most satisfactory way possible.
