LTTP as usual but I wanted to say nice work on the montage Bladed! The variety of play is what makes the montage a HaloGAF montage.

Anyone want to try to get to the bottom of Gemini like now? I was on with Self Induced but we couldn't figure out where exactly to "fall"

I'm hardly an expert on those matters. =\

If someone actually know what they're doing, I'd love to join.

re: betrayals

If I'd entered my clips into the montage, you'd have a nice one of me betraying two of my teammates with one sniper shot (by accident).

I can do it! I'll throw you an invite, and I'll bring someone who loves to do glitches as well.

I had a teammate, on Narrows, run into me and then jump off the map. It gave me the fuckin betrayal. He did this twice and booted me out of the match. I couldn't help but laugh :lol

Self Induced just left but I guess I could try and replicate it with him later. Anyone else is welcome to join :)

I actually had a couple of people do this to me, every time I had sniper they wandered in front of me so I ended up shooting them in the head, Im not sure how they did it without me noticing but I was laughing so much by like the 3rd betrayal they didnt boot me :lol

If they knew that they only had to walk into me and then jump off the map it may have been another issue...

Wow, I just realized that Wednesday is going to be pretty crazy for me. Any ETA for when the Customs would start? I probably could get on around 7:30-8:30 EST.

What is Gaf's plan for Wednesday, I personally plan on playing a whole lot of Matchmaking just to try and get in a game with the Bungie guys. If Gaf are doing customs then im up for that too.

Fyrewulff made a couple of gametype suggestions on HBO which I would love to try. KoTH on Terminal and Plasma starts on Backwash (The fog makes it look cool according to him). I also wanna try Containment as ive never played it.

Will Gaf deliver the goods? :D

So I just finished my newest (and last) version of Sanctum. It's a lot smoother and has a lot of little improvements that I wont go into large detail about.
Anyways you can find it here:
Sanctum v3

There's no official HaloGAF Customs on Wednesday, everyone is free to hop into Matchmaking in Halo 2.

Sucks, I guess matchmaking is the best place to be on Wednesday though. I had another look at the Weekly Update and it said something about them collecting stats and also awarding prizes based on that.

Any speculation on what theyre handing out?

Saw the montage on bungie.net, nice.

Wish I hadn't lost all of my clips in a HDD issue, I had two specific good ones I would have submitted :(

How would you know? You quit almost instantly.

BTB Midship is fucking amazing.

I've noticed that h2 still has way more assholes than h3, though I'm really not sure why this is the case :/

Does it matter if Im playing on the original Xbox or the 360 for Wednesday? All the map packs are on my original Xbox still, dont want to download them again on 360...

Snipers against a French host. Might as well just quit when the game starts.

Suck it up, you don't see any Euro folks bitching like spoilt brats when the majority of time we have to put up with US hosts.

Besides, isn't some sort of better regional filter for Reach? That should keep you quiet for a while.

k... One thing that really bugs me is the lack of textures in the halo games, you can count the number of textures in that shot on one hand.

one of the many reasons why people think games like uncharted 2 and killzone 2 look good is because of the convoluted amount of textures in their games, bungie should take a lesson from their book and start making more interesting structures to look at by using more varied amount of textures. Stop being so modernist/brutalist bungie!

random textures everywhere.

Sure there's no continuity, and the only reason it looks good is because the amount of textures the eye is looking at blinds us from the poor geometry, and it makes us see things that aren't actually there, and it makes enemies harder to see... but the graphix!

Oh :\ my bad... I always assumed Arena would be without Armor Abilities for some reason... Perhaps I mis understood.

Ignore my previous comment.

I explained why he wouldnt be able to play it, he is using a jtag xbox, which while it can do some serious modding, it lacks the ability to do one thing that makes it (and the Halo 3 beta) unplayable. it can NOT alter things in real time, which in necessary to make it work.

Uncharted is pretty damn nice to look at. I think Killzone is way to bland, and I've played both games. I like Halo's style of keeping things simple. There's a reason why Halo is so popular. Everything just seems to work right.

When BTB got unranked it became half awful with games like that. Nothing horrible in there like that when BTB was ranked. All glorious stuff like 1 CTF on Relic, Headlong, Zanzibar, Terminal - Multi-CTF on Containment, Waterworks, Coagulation, etc. etc. So much better than Halo 3's set-up. Lot more variety and enjoyment.

Played Multi-team a bit and tons of Guardian Slayer and gimmicks like Swords. Kind of makes me dislike the AR more than usual. :\

It's a shame I don't play with the textures, then I might still be playing Killzone 2. :(

Wow were was that image found?

les papillons sexuels - those pictures you posted look... horrible. The cleaner look of Halo works MUCH better for multiplayer. Graphics whores should die in a fire, its all about gameplay.

While we're waiting for hot hot beta vids, somebody talked a little bit about Titan, the cancelled Halo MMO. It's up on joystiq.

The day I got the news such an awesome project existed, and that it got canned, I felt horrible. I know it was a long shot for it to capture the essence of Halo, but I don't think I wanted that. I was just hoping for an MMO made by Ensemble.

I am glad Halo has a clean look. I have a real problem on some MW2 levels with too much shit going on in the level. Leaves flying, grasses, rubble, etc. Hard for my aging eyes to see guys.
