It's different for the challenge. You have to do it individually.Azar said:

If it's individually, fuck it, I'm downloading the custom firefight settings. Doesn't it take several hours to get it to 1m normally? How many hours would it take to get it to 4m+?!

I'm thinking the same about that challenge.
I am moving up to Dublin in less than 2 months... I hope I can afford a 360 after a few weeks work :lol Otherwise I can kiss my year subscription to live out the window.

Yeah, individually is the way to go.
Where abouts in Dublin are you moving to?

So about the weekly challenge, is it sniper only or sniper and DMR ?

Hemorrhage has to be one of the worst CTF maps in recent memory. Nothing ever gets done on that map unless one team outnumbers the other.
Also, I hope Bungie, when they update the game with a TU, give the Warthog and mongoose a little more grounded feeling. The controls are a little too floaty as is. There's no reason to risk going full speed over a hill or something or risk having any fun wit hit because you get flipped over at the slightest bump.

Still so much I dislike about this game, but I fight through it to try and find that old Halo magic.
Seriously though, you'd think being at Colonel G3 would be some indication of you being really into a game :lol

I know loads of people who hate the game, or maybe just find parts of it annoying, and literally play non stop JUST because its Halo. My thinking is, that if it doesnt capture what kept you addicted by an older game, theres no point playing it for the name alone.
If youve played enough to be a Colonel grade 3 and dont like it, then its pretty much a done deal that your never gonna like it.
For me, as much as reach has problems I can find fun in it, but I think im gonna wait for the MLG playlist to really drag me into it in a big way. Its the closest there will be to a barebones traditional playlist and im hoping on V3 they go back to higher movement. That would make my day.
Did the 1,000,000 in 14 minutes. Got the settings from some dude on YouTube: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=70482&player=KRZR24rat
Says it could be done in 10.

In case you're not checking the Forge thread, we're going to try ForgeGAF customs in about 5 minutes. Feel free to join if you want to check out some maps or if you're just looking to get some footage of your map with (roughly) a 4v4 setup

I dont think there is recoil in the game. The bloom is really a replacement for the effects of recoil.
As far as I see it, Recoil was present in something like the SMG on Halo 3, as you fired it the recoil caused the gun to kick upwards.
Just because I have a ton of issues with the game doesn't mean I don't like any aspect of it at all. Why concern yourselves with how much I play or why I play it, it's by and far my favorite franchise, I simply vent on here in hopes that maybe some day something will be heard and changed. Something as little as removing the dropshield from Obj. would be a good start.

I feel like if Shishka can get fusion coils off Valhalla NinjaOnFire should be able to remove drop shields from objective.
Then again these are some pretty demanding tasks.

You can say what you like, NinjaOnFire has been pretty fucking responsive to community criticism. Yeah, it's a steady drip of change rather than a sudden gush, but the way they've hammered Arena out over the past two months has been impressive.
We've gotten a ton of changes throughout the playlists. I applaud the amount that has been done since launch. The little variety and changes in Halo 3 really diluted the game for me.xxjuicesxx said:
Ninja isn't perfect, however, as he gave us Team Rifles in Halo 2 with the Banshee still on Ascension. :lol
Shake Appeal said:
Agreed. Almost all of the map/playlist complaints I have and hear about are pretty much Invasion/BTB focused which may or may not upset you depending on if you play those at all. Some of the tweaks took a lot longer than I'm happy about, but as it stands right now today Matchmaking as a whole is a ton better than it was day one.
Halo 2's playlists started off really wonky, as well. Of course they got it all jazzed out and materialized months later. Not until Halo 3 hit they made basically everything casual, i,e, Big Team becoming Big Team Duals and Big Team Rockets.
The 2005 and 2006 years were amazing for the game, though.

I don't understand the hate. This map has been around since the beginning. If you are complaining about drop shield, play smarter.

Man..as much as I don't want to support Gamestop's shitty idea of pre-ordering DLC, I might just have to do that for this map pack. I don't have the money to get a 1600 point card, and I can't add MS points via Live, since the card that's currently attached to my account isn't mine, and I have no way of getting money to the owner of the card(my friend)

Who said anything about the drop shield? My experience on the map has been "stalemate central" unless one team outnumbers the other, and that's boring. It's hard to do anything by yourself on the map, given the great amount of open space and lack of mancannons. The base design is rather poor to boot.NH Apache said:
My issue with Haemorrhage is that it only takes one guy sitting in your base to spawn you right out in the open, and because he's in your base, they now have both snipers.Dax01 said:
I mean, yeah, if you let them take your base, fair enough. But we should at least have a chance to claw back from mistakes like that.

It is a map based on a map that was dated in 2001, for a game that had very different gameplay, and which people rarely played in the kind of competitive spirit seen on Live.
It represents about ten steps and then a leap backwards from Valhalla.

HaloGAF Customs start in 15 minutes.
Is there any chance you could do the ForegGAF Customs on another day or time? Ending just before regular Customs starts is really prohibiting my and other's ability to participate - I can't well sit and play a Customs marathon for 5 or 6 hours. =\

Can you do the 1,000,000 points thing in Custom or do you have to do it under Firefight or whatever?
I only play Team Slayer and Score Attack so I have no idea about any modes outside those two.
