Scroll down until you hit maps (or ctrl+f, crtl+g 'maps')



Agreed, but to be fair, those maps are pretty simplistic. Unless they were noted in the selection screen as intended purely for Forge creators, people would have attacked them for their design anyway.

Cool. Grazie.

Thanks to Invincibleagent as well.

Quickest Montage Ever?!

GAF Customs really mini montage.

It's pretty lame, I know... But I had a few minutes of free time, and a very poor song selection.

Enjoy!

was that so hard Bladed

You had Dani in shock

I stayed up til 5am only wathing?? I had fun though. Will catch ye next week anyway.

 

[Pennybags]

Had fun playing with you guys, even though I'm utterly terrible.

 

[Ramirez]

I like how you phrased that as if it were the obvious, and then list a few minute differences that go almost entirely unnoticed to lay man.

It completely changes how the map plays, hardly minute differences.

Is there any room, I want to dong on some of you after today's posts in here.

Yep.

 

[wwm0nkey]

That was my first time doing Gaf customs, I have to say it was pretty fun lol

 

[Shrennin]

Finally got ODST. I'm not gonna lie, the main reason was pretty much because I wanted access to the Reach Beta. I'll still enjoy Firefight though!

Anyway, I'm all set for the Beta. Can't wait!

 

[dslgunstar]

Great times in the HaloGaf customs guys, look forward to doing it again.

And if anyone is interested in getting in some social big team to prep for Invasion in the Reach beta, give me a shout!

Envious. I gotta get a job here so I can be in on that beta :lol



Hey bungie, I've got an idea for a new game type.

It would be a mix of flag and assault.

2-side variant: Both teams start out with a bomb. Bombing the other team's base drops their flag into their base. "Enemy flag exposed!" You can then bring it back to your base. Capture it, and another bomb falls into your base. "New bomb available!" Whichever team gets 2 bomb dets and 2 flag captures first wins.

1-side would be the same thing but bombs only become available on one side and flags on the other. You get bomb, you det bomb, you grab flag, you capture flag, round over. They get bomb, you stop bomb or they det bomb, they grab flag, you stop flag carrier, etc.

What did you think of the campaign?

 

[professor_t]

Wow, I had forgotten how good the Halo 2 maps were. Halo 3's maps aren't bad by any means (these boards are rife with hyperbole), but almost none of them can measure up to the "average" Halo 2 map.

I can't put my finger on the difference, but I hope Bungie recaptures the magic with Reach.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Anyone want to do Halo 2 customs next week, since well its going down in 11 more days.

I had a lot of fun tonight, all good games.
Probably because Dani didn't choose maps.

HELL. YES. I'm most definitely down for some Halo 2 customs, so if there's room available I'll for sure be there.

 

[gibration]

Im all for Halo 2 next week.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Halo 2 customs should be a lot of fun, still kind of hard to think that the game that I have played for so many years and put so many hours into is finally coming to an end. I mean that was my first XBL game and I pretty much only played that until the 360 came out lol.

I didn't have my own xbox, but Halo 2 was always the game I played at friends houses, and I'm sad to see it taken down too.

Sorry I couldn't join you all tonight. I had to finish up some work.

Halo 2 next week sounds great. I'll definitely be there for that.

Well at least Halo 2 (PC) will still be up.

 

[Tashi]

Good customs guys, I had a whole lot of fun.

I was streaming the whole time and there are some really funny moments, I might just make a little montage of them. Here's one that will make it for sure.

Sorry Ram lol

edit: Make sure you guys install the Halo 2 maps before joining in. They can still be on your hard drive but if you have a new xbox they need to be re-downloaded.

 

[Ramirez]

My wife was playing during that part, I was in the other room making a sammich. No, really...:|

Was a fun night, I'm ready for the beta though, I'm growing tired of 3 I think.

I've misplaced my Halo 2 disc some where, so I won't be able to join the fun on that.

 

[Deputy Moonman]

Thanks for letting me join in on the action tonight. I left abruptly after getting donged on quite a bit. Needed to take a quick nap before I went into my overnight shift, which is where I am currently. Yuck.

That attempt of yours to Ninja me was bullshit, no one could see a thing in that map :lol

Lot of fun yesterday, even though everyone felt lost in the 1st couple of maps Dani chose for us =P

No what was bullshit was the grenade bouncing off your face at the end of the video :lol

Last night was definitely a lot of fun... It had been seven months since I played a custom game (wow).

And yes, the first couple games that Dani chose were a bit odd... Those tunnel/territory maps were something else.

That's called skill!

Loved that Territories one with AR starts, no grenades and dual-wielding weapons only. That was heaven

I had a ton of fun last night. It is good to know my skills haven't vaporized with age and I can still hang with you guys.

Spoiler

Either that or you all suck. bawwwwww

Halo 2 sounds like a excellent idea.

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Aww you're breaking my heart

I just don't know what to say about Valhalla. I don't like it. You really have no options when a team is controlling the middle. Sure, you can try and sneak off to the left or right, but not before they all see where you're going. And the left and right paths don't have any true protection from a group standing atop the middle section. I prefer secondary and even tertiary routes to keep good teams honest. Heck, I just like big maps that don't have any true control points, think Waterworks and Headlong. Even Coagulation was better about this with teleporters porting you into true protected areas. Additionally, I've had enough of the man-cannons. Sure they're fun to launch vehicles from, but I think they are unnecessary. I prefer traditional teleporters.

Valhalla might not be the best designed map in the world from a purely map maker point of view, but I have had a LOT of fun on it. I also find that when playing with friends its actually fairly easy to take top mid back just in a direct assualt, not that ide try it with randoms :lol

I think that 'cliff' adds a bit of the sneakiness to the map, there have been countless moments were ive been fighting for top mid, almosty died, dropped down into the river and snuck around. Although this really does require you to have the Sea base.

As for Guardian, it really is one of the only maps you can play FFA on in Halo 3, I just dont like Heretic/ Blackout and non of the other maps seem close to being suited to FFA

Added to this is the fact that we mostly play Sniper FFA's, Guardian has a good mix of close quarters and long lines of sight.



Halo 2 next week!?? I will be there, can Eurogaf get a early start this time, I dont want to stay up too late.

 

[randomlyrossy]

I shall definitely make a point to be there for EuroGaf customs if we're rockin' Halo 2.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Is there a EuroHaloGAF silver account? If not, we should try and organize that ahead of the beta.

Also, it is Easter Sunday today. Lent is over. I can play videogames. Tonight, at 9pm, I will be playing Halo for the first time since February 8.

I Am Risen.

The pit CTF is so good, I could play it over and over and love it every single time.

Good games last night folks. Some really enjoyable moments here and there.

Blame ForgeHub for the maps you don't like, dammit!

Next Saturday, we'll be hopping on Halo 2 to give it a proper HaloGAF sendoff. This will be one of your last chances to play Halo 2 with HaloGAFers, don't miss it!

Speaking of which, the following Wednesday - the 14th, Bungie is planning for a final night of Halo 2 matchmaking - with some kind of reward planned for folks in Halo: Reach. Don't miss out on this either.

Next Saturday (HaloGAF Halo 2 Customs) and the following Wednesday (Halo 2 Matchmaking with Bungie)!

Isn't it just the last hurrah before Halo 2 gets shut down on Xbox Live.
