Go into Score Attack. Shoot three grunts quickly. Huzzah!!LosDaddie said:
It happens all the time and it's frankly baffling.GDJustin said:Yup. A few weeks ago I made a post in this topic linking to a BTB game where my team won with a score of 75, but we had 89 kills. No suicides or penalties. No one had any answers

The Triple Kill has to be done in PVP MM, didn't work for me in Firefight...I got it in my first or second game though, play Reflection, get rockets, profit.
Also, the playlists need the part sizes limited to the amount of teams one group could put together, going in with 6 people in a 8 person list while 2 dudes do nothing while the other guys use you for boosting fodder is extremely lame.

Can you find the specific games where it happened to you? I have a hypothesis. I think, for SOME players, some of their multikills aren't being counted. Doubles are only counting as one, etc. Maybe only if the kills are simultaneous, via explosions.

LosDaddie said:Yeah, that's correct. I already played some firefight/score attack and I haven't completed the challenge yet.
Getting tons of Double Kills...but no Triple yet.
You could also try Invasion/BTB, something with a vehicle, a Wraith on Hemorrhage can wreck kids if you can spawn cap them.
Re: The Halo roadmap - I don't doubt that it's true. I also don't doubt that that company is in some SERIOUS shit with Microsoft. WTF were they thinking? :lol :lol That sort of info is always NDA'd all to hell. Showing it in front of an audience with actual slides is absolute idiocy.
If you want to know what is going to be happening in the game industry 1+ year in advance, ad agencies and ad planning firms are where you want to work. I've worked on that side of the business a fair amount, and... yeah. Most of these ad buyers aren't gamers. So they don't even realize what they're saying is sensitive. I would get calls like "A company is planning a campaign for a sci fi game called "Mass Effect 2" for Q4 (this is before ME2 had been announced). Do you think this is relevant to your audience?"
So, I then knew the approx. launch date of a game that hadn't even been unveiled yet.
That's a mild one, too. I work fairly closely with a firm that actually shoots the TV commercials for a lot of game companies. They know FOREVER in advance what is coming, because a TV production is serious business. They need full briefs on what the game is like, with a synopsis and art assets, to do their preproduction work. So that company would have docs that were just like... their rough schedule/workload for the next ~12-18 months. You'd see stuff on there like "Halo: Reach" months before it was announced, with a synopsis of its plot and characters, etc. They didn't work on Halo... that's just an example.
PR firms, game journos, dev studios... NONE of these places have as much consolidated info about what unnannounced shit is coming out as an ad agency. Because they need the most heads-up & most lead time. Besides maybe guide makers like Prima. They have as much access as the dev team itself, often.
Edit: My own personal hypothesis, but I would expect the games to alternate genres. One year a FPS, the next year... something else. Cover shooter, or squad shooter, or ME-style shooter or whatever.

I was suggesting that perhaps they will have some part to play with the mysterious Aerospace site (in terms of content/media....). I dunno lol.Hypertrooper said:

Looking forward to the major motion picture. What's with the 2 new trilogies? Ugh... I mean I guess they could be different genres, maybe developed by different studios? But if it's 343 I'd rather they focus on 1 new trilogy than try and do 2 at the same time.Devin Olsen said:

Why is my game history only showing 1 arena game even though I've played 4 today?
It's missing a lot of the other games that I've played today as well.
Rumble pit is a good playlist for the triple kill challenge btw. It's really easy to get multikills in Juggernaut and Infection.

Has there been any type of confirmation on what the daily cR cap is? I'm seeing "confirmed" numbers of anywhere from 50,000-100,000. I wrapped up a ton of stuff today and I'm sitting at probably like 60k today right now, but if I'm real close to the cap I won't finish up the Weekly and wait until tomorrow to do that.
My Spartan progression throughout halo.

Didn't have a way to take a shot of my halo 2 spartan so I recolored one of bungie's pics.
Ya. I like blue.

Is it just me or does the Halo 3 spartan model look the worst?

Thanks to for all the help/suggestions, HaloGAF.
I finally got the Triple Kill/Daily Challenge cheevo on Invasion. The other team just got done capturing a territory and were loading up in a warthog and I used a rocket launcher to get them.
Feels good, man. Now onto the Firefight achievements.
And just in case; two new trilogies mean two new games. Probably one in 2012 and one in 2013. Not six games, by 2013.
The "one game a year" is nothing new.
2009: Halo Wars, Halo 3 ODST
2010: Halo Reach
If anything, it seems Halo is taking a break next year (2011) which is fine with me. Probably a good amount of DLC/maps/updates for Reach at least.

My wife wants to head into town and take the family with her, so I'll miss some and possibly all of customs tonight.
If you guys would be so kind as to test out the current iteration of Crossroads, I'd appreciate it. The file set is here, with the 1.1 version of the map and a game type set up for CTF and Stockpile. I'm curious how Stockpile will play out, but the map was bred for CTF first and I think that will play better. Slayer should work well, as long as it's DMR/Nerfle starts (I don't have a game type set up for Slayer with those load outs, though.) I'd take a look at the map or the pictorial tour so you know where the power weapons and ideal flag cap routes are (take the man cannon next to the base and head left for rockets - do the same for a CTF cap).
The 1.1 version has a lot of very small geometry changes, a load out camera and the objective markers set to be gametype specific so you don't play Slayer with flag markers all over.
If you do play, someone please shoot me the film.

Cool. If I had photoshop skills and hell photoshop I would so do mine.
Mine was simple though. Black Spartan in Halo, Steel Spartan in Halo 2, 3, and Reach. No emblems on any of them. lol
