Not up in Canada anymore :/

Spoiler

Haven't gone there in a while anyways

lol I seriously thought they didn't exist anymore. All the ones that I know of closed up shop.

Played 9 games in the classic playlist today. It's fucking awesome. It does however need higher weighting of some of the objective gametypes (specifically Flag and Assault). Didn't see Flag or Assault pop up ever, saw King a few times (played it once) and saw Snipers a few times.

I got trueskilled pretty hard the last game I played.

My Blockbuster never takes these things out of the rental box.

Mine took 'em out, but the guy worked the register was cool and gave me both the code AND the Master Chief avatar for a dollar.

Headlong pic on Breakneck: (I couldn't get a good straight-on shot, too much glare.)

I wonder if there's one on every map? I looked for a pic on Battle Creek but couldn't find one.

 

[Striker]

Loving default Headlong and Damnation. We didn't get Timberland to show up, but Ridgeline did. Crappy Laser aside, great layout and everything seems to flow really well.

Wish they had red base in its Tombstone location back in the big base rather than the small structure which fits poorly as a defensive base area.

The new Waypoint on Xbox hurts the eyes. The linear pattern doesn't make scrolling through achievements good. In fact scrolling through anything like that should be reserved for touch devices.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

How are the new maps anything playable Arena or Objective style besides Beaver?

I like all of them, I haven't played Timberland yet though.

To answer my own question, yes. Just found the Damnation pic on Pinnacle. I'll collect these onto a page on my site to keep from cluttering the thread (and for people sensitive to egg spoilers).

Did anyone find a Battle Rifle on Hang'em High? Please tell me that there is a not-useable battle rifle on Hang'em High.

 

[senador]

I get hit by it at least once a month. Spent like 5 minutes "talking" to Hiredn00bs a couple of days ago, wonder why he's sending me text messages asking if I have all the maps, then I look at the party chat and it's showing my mic as not in.

You'll know if you have the bug if you plug in your mic, the mic icon will show up for about 3 seconds and then disappear.

Grr I get this one when I have to use my wired mic. It sucks. Its true, the only to fix it is to reboot the Xbox

Just found the Timberlands pic, btw.

Fuck yeah, I made a logo I like, instead of just one that is decent.

Show me show me!

 

[Tunavi]

Also, I can now confirm that the bridge in headlong is the same one from ODST. The elevator is in the exact location as it was in relation to the bridge in ODST.

Cool.

 

[Devolution]

Check your pms, don't want to link it on the forums.

Me too!

drop me one please

Me too!

It will probably remind you a lot of xbox heh. Since that shit's been plaguing my mind while designing it.

 

[Tunavi]

After not playing halo for a month, I played 8 hours today and it was glorious. Can't believe Halo is ten years old.

 

[malfcn]

Welp..anyone else having trouble DLing Waypoint? It keeps saying that I cannot.

 

[Tashi]

Speaking of logos, I couldn't help but notice after getting my copy of Anniversary that Saber Interactive's logo is pretty awful.

It just screams early 2000's amateur to me. Guys/gals are obviously studs and do great work, I think it's time to upgrade.

 

[Devolution]

One of those "too many gradients and kind of crap ones at that goin' on." The top of the E touching the R, among many things, is irking the fuck out of me.

Picture of cat should be flat, 2 colors and less busy. Like this

THAT, is a great logo

Just found the flashback image for Beaver Creek. I'll take some pictures and upload to b.net

Awesome! Now we just need to find the Prisoner pic on Solitary. I searched for it for a long time but didn't find it.

If anyone does stumble across it, pm me the screenshot on bungie.net. I think tomorrow I'll throw together a page/album collecting them all.

 

[Slightly Live]

Certain Affinity really really kicked some ass.

 

[Tashi]

You know whats especially pretty? Red base on Beaver Creek. Amazing

 

[Tunavi]

thanks dani

Yup. You can even get away with more colors as long as it's graphic.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Please look to the left of this post to view how to create a proper logo.

 

[senador]

Wow Headlong is pretty awesome.

Spoiler

Fuck Evade.

Bingo on both accounts.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Whats wrong with evade?

Get more adaption probably.

Distance, especially if you're a bomb/flag carrier. Gain all that ground only for some jackass to just roll up on you.

 

[Willeth]

While we're on Easter eggs, presumably everyone saw

Linda's vitals

on the status screen next to Master Chiefs? I can't remember if it was in the original and I didn't think to flick over and see.

Whatever better player will find a way. Halo 4's gonna be a different game too. Protip evade gives you free auto-aim evade and do an ogre twitch to blain a kid straight out of roll.

Similar to that one vehicle sniper auto-aim glitch which well all forget the name of by the next Halo.

 

[Tashi]

The problem witb evade is that it's a loadout not a pick up

 

[Willeth]

I've had the new dash for a while and I've never had a performance issue with a game, including MW3.

I've had really bad problems trying to get MW3 to run in 3p splitscreen. Even the menu was a damn slideshow. No such issues with CEA but it wouldn't surprise me if the new dash was the cause.

Yep, it wasn't there in the original game. People guessed

Spoiler

that the second cyro tube would be Linda and now 343i confirms it.

Otherwise it is the most found easter egg for now.

I searched for a while but didn't find one.

Just found the Timberlands pic, btw.

Nice. Maybe I'll look for the Prisoner pic. All locations were reachable with the monitior, right?

Certain Affinity really really kicked some ass.

So pretty.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

No the problem with evade is that in objective theres not a proper respawn time and death doesnt mean enough and the gametype becomes whether or not you get lucky enough spawns to win the game the way it plays out.

MLG does it a lot better with a higher respawn time and a short period before being able to use AA's

Although using them as pickups only is a good idea for FFA rumbles.

/Get schooled by someone who knows FPS

 

[Steelyuhas]

Well by default, Reach AA's are always going to be a loadout, not a pickup, and evade was specifically designed to be used by Elites, in Invasion. Not sure why Bungie decided to go against the design of the AA and start throwing it on Spartans in matchmaking.

Goddamn awesome images.

Shiieeeeeet. Why do I not have these maps yet. Pan-camming them is the only thing that'd make me take a break from Skryim.

So I only get one copy of the maps with my disc? That's pretty fucking lame. I can swap the ODST disc around xbox to xbox but I can't with this.
