Elite Slayer is so much fun. Fairs better on larger maps like Hemorrhage though.

But is it possible for them to tweak Armor lock at all? The man who thought temporary invulnerability was a good idea should be shot.

Armor Lock really ruins it.

Elite Slayer on Sword Base is one of the worst Halo experiences that I've had.

I just went back to my Halo 3 page on Bungie.net and tried unlocking Recon again after it couldn't verify some of my vidmaster achievements for months, and voila I now have Recon now :lol

What is up with Infection, played 2 games/6 rounds and I was the human just 1 round (and only for 30 seconds thanks to the simultaneous bulltrue/infection). Yet some of the others were human for the entire game. So not fair...

Why isn't it hard coded that everyone be a zombie once and a human twice, in every game? Just seems completely random at this point

I was actually playing Zombies to get easy wins for the Weekly Challenge and it was working for a while until they started making me Zombie the whole game or for the remaining two rounds. This went on for(guesstimating) 8+ games, I stopped playing Zombies.

Is it possible to manipulate lag to get an advantage in reach? I just played two games of invasion where the other team won 0-3 and it was pretty much unplayable for me. Not a single host migration and bars hopping between green and red the entire game.

Reminds me of the early days of Gears 2 where you would just run around with the chainsaw hoping for someone to warp into it.

Um.

Everything you need to know about setting up maps for King of the Hill

Labels
"koth" - use this AND the "gametype specific" setting to create objects that only spawn in KOTH.
"koth_hill" - REQUIRED - the hill!

KOTH is an asymmetric gametype.

The "move in sequence" game option does not work correctly; the hill movement will still be random.

What?!

Has MLG been screwed so far when trying to make KOTH a gametype? More importantly, is this possible to fix in a Title Update, or is it baked in, unable to be fixed?

Didn't know that. Thought they just would have made one hill or just taken it out.

Just a heads up for PC HaloGAF. I've got a game set up to get that infernal rainman achievement in Halo 2 PC. If anyone needs it, then shoot me a message on XBL.

Also, slightly more on topic, its weird that the achievement total isnt up to 1250 yet on reach. Normally Bungie does that well in advance.

It's not exactly broken, the system they use is just really dumb. The first hill will be the hill closest to Y 0 and then it moves out from there.

Here's the two I had from yesterday, are you talking about when I was armor locking my ass off? :lol I had an awesome stick on cuban too, where I was flying across the map and nailed him mid flight. :D

No splatter for you!

Laser tag was cool at first, but got old quick.

Possible? Of course. I can't say I've seen it happen like that. Occasionally lots of black screen, but ultimately little in-game lag.

It happened once. I got a black screen. When I could play again the enemy had already killed me 3 or 4times.

Here is something interesting.

I had no idea Halo had more 1st day and first week than black ops.

That is of course based on Raptr's stats.

Ah shit. Kicked down to Gold because I haven't played Arena in ages. Don't know if I can deal with more competitive armor lock...

Hemorrhage sucks so freakin' much. I'm so tired of being sniped from some dude all the way across the map who hasn't moved away from his base. Bungie, please remake Valhalla, take Hemorrhage out of matchmaking, and I promise you none of us will ever speak of this map ever again.

Video of a mod that removes bloom.


I never doubted that it could be taken out or reduced to nothing, I just want to see how it plays and how easy it would be to shoot the DMR super fast 5 times and get the kill, it seems hard to miss with the DMR in this game if the bloom is centered. Or maybe it's exactly what the game needs to give it that faster bit of pace and bring it back to halo 1/2 level.

That looks so awesome. I wish we could use those settings without needing a mod, and that they'd show up in MM. Would be interesting to see what the people vote for and what they really want. Course that would be confusing and lead to an inconsistent experience for most of the end users... it's nice to want things

I like seeing the Campaign Challenges, though the cR distribution seems weird. Yesterday's was to complete a mission on Normal or higher with Thunderstorm on, for 2,000 cR. Today's is Heroic or harder with Catch for half as much.

I think I'll head in for my SWAT fix for the precision weapon one. I'll be halfway to Commander after today.

My bro was just in a game of Crazy King on Asylum in Multi-team. After a while the hill just stopped giving them time. It affected everyone though.
