[Deadly Cyclone]

One bug that needs updated (Luke/Urk/Brian) in Rocket Race, if the other team blows you off a cliff it counts as a betrayal against the dead driver, which can lead to booting. :lol

 

[zaidr]

That's the easiest/shortest mission besides the first one.

Easy, yes. Short? nope. Maybe because its so monotonous that it feels so long. Defend. Escort. Defend. etc etc...

 

[Cuban Legend]

WTF is up with Reach's campaign pacing?
When the fuck does the

Spoiler

Hornet flying section

end? Fucking booooring.

It's a Falcon

 

[Kapura]

Anybody up for a quick spot check of a new map? I only need about 8 players, so GAF customs would be a bad place to get it tested. It's arena-ish, wanted to play some slayer and some CTF. Anybody interested should get on and send me (Kapura on XBL) a message.

 

[Thagomizer]

Really? The actual flying sections are really, really short, IMO. I spent more time in the hospital alone (which, BTW, I hope gets made into a Multi map- that setpiece is absolutely GORGEOUS) than on the flying, but I also just ignored all the Banshees except for the ones you had to kill and made beelines to each objective.

[Hey You]

Wait, when does the second playlist update go live? Is it the 15th along with Campaign MM?

so yea i gave halo 3 a whirl tonight and noticed that the player count was double that of reach. Halo 3 - 690,000 players. Halo: Reach - 370,000 something. WTF?

Halo 3 show last 24hr players online
Reach shows current online.

 

[Sanjuro]

Fucking snipers without bedtimes.

 

[Neuromancer]

I made a custom firefight variant if anyone wants to try it:

SWAT Firefight

Features:
-1 wave of heretics (elites with human weapons)
-players move a little slower and jump a little less high
-enemies do more damage and take less damage
-loadouts consist of sprint and your choice of DMR, sniper rifle, and shotgun as primary weapons and pistol as secondary weapon

 

[CrazedArabMan]

I have no words other than what the heck is that picture doing in my Reach thread. Almost had to rip out my eye-balls on that one. In other news, after a few weeks, I finally am back into the groove of things with the sniper, it just took longer to get used to it than originally before. Also, why do we not get a skullamanjaro in big-team headhunter? I had 10 skulls scored at once but nothing, I was dissapointed.

Oh boy. Will try.

 

[Plywood]

So I had a cool idea for a forged Reflection, but it looks like forging is gimped on any map thats not Forge World.

 

[Merguson]

One frigging kill left.. in the daily challenge to complete the weekly challenge...

and the game is juggernaut..

challenges were not completed...

 

[Hey You]

You would think that Bungie would make most,if not all maps Forge Friendly. I was disappointed.

Downloaded. Will give it a shot once I have a group together. I've tested myself against some of those Heretics, and in numbers they will whittle you down to nothing *very* quickly. But as a team it'll make for a nice challenge

 

[Trasher]

Sorry, he's not really my type

Who's the strange looking guy in your avatar (most of the time)? Is he your type?

I think so?

 

[7echnicolor]

:lol That's Elly Jackson aka La Roux, aka a female. She's a bit androgynous (though 100% female) so I can see why you were confused.

 

[Ajemsuhgao]

Well, I think I'm done with my tank. There are some minor details(rails and things sticking off of the tank to hold onto, and the secondary gun) that I don't really care enough to model.

Somewhat proud of this. I'm normally an objects and weapons kind of guy. This was my first vehicle. :lol

 

[GhaleonEB]

Co-op Legendary romp: complete.

Should have solo done by the end of the week. Hit Captain today, to boot.

No way! Wow. Mind blown. Coulda sworn that was a dude.

Dammit. The Bulletproof video won't work on Youtube. :lol

Edit: Got it to work. Sorry La Roux for thinking you were a dude. :lol

I still have to run through Co-op Legendary (already did solo.) A friend of mine hasn't beat the game yet so I'm running through it with him.

 

[Lazslo]

Does anyone know when the 343's Maiden Voyage on the Podcast sea comes out? I'm pretty sure Ellis said sometime tonight but I can't seem to find it.

Am I the only one getting like 60-70 per campaign game? Seriously I thought that was only if you were playing offline. But I'm playing online in co-op, and by the end of it I get the same amount of credits as a normal MP game for about 3-4 times the amount of time spent? Its complete BS.

That's the problem. Most of them have been uniting...in the holy matrimony of marriage.

[theultimo]

More creative challenges, I like em.

And again though, a daily challenge is worth as much/more then the weekly.

 

[Buckethead]

What's the best level(s) to kill Elites on?

 

[Cuban Legend]

i'll just leave this here

It's your turn now.

I was expecting a Jackal in diapers.

 

[theultimo]

The cheeziest way is this: Nightfall at the start. You get a checkpoint right behind an Elite. Bash, revert to last save.

Otherwise, PoA is great for it.

 

[Tokubetsu]

Elevator in Exodus on Solo Legendary is killing my spirit to continue solo =/

 

[Sean]

The cheeziest way is this: Nightfall at the start. You get a checkpoint right behind an Elite. Bash, revert to last save.

Even cheesier/easier way is to use the target locator trick on the start of Sword Base. You'll take out at least like 2 or 3 Elites each time, revert to last save, repeat.

 

[Self Induced]

I was thinking Bungie should make the challenges according to various game data they've collected. Like if a playlist had a recent drop in population, Bungie can make a challenge be "Win 3 games in the ___ playlist," to encourage some players to try out a different gametype they normally wouldn't have bothered with.

 

[Willeth]

Is Return of the Mack bugged? It fails me when I die and won't allow me to earn kills towards it when I reload. The challenge says nothing about surviving.

Same here, second I died it said challenge failed. Reverting to save/restarting the mission didn't work, I had to save and quit.

At least it doesn't reset your progress.

Yeah there must be something wrong, if you die you have to quit out of your game and restart in order for the challenge to activate again. :/

Does anyone know where the option for the rumble on the pad is in the options menu? My pad has stopped rumbling all of a sudden...

Edit: nvm, sorted it.

 

[Willeth]

I really hope this guy gets banned.

For what? Modding the campaign? Don't be petty.

I love the disclaimer.

"I have not modded at all!!! Except these three mods...."
