Anyone know how to fix it when your red and blue lights go out? :S

That sucks, probably a similar reason for why the blocks turn "gold" check if anyone has found a fix for that I would suggest.
 
in case anyone's interested...

the str8 rippin montage is out. its a pretty big file and could take awhile to dl, but it should be on youtube relatively soon. alot of cool clips, and really nice editing. i'd probably watch it just for the editing, in fact

Well, it is Microsoft.

Two questions:

1) Can the skulls on the Mythic maps be found by flying around in a saved film? My daughter wants to hunt for them that way, but I'm not sure if we can see them.

2) So, I'm forging a new map on Sandbox, this time trying to merge objects for the first time. I've done the first three, and when I try to do the next, something strange is happening. I'll set the object to not appear at the start of the round, and then reset the round. And when the next one starts, the object is there physically. But it's turned off-color, I can't select it to check attributes, move etc. It's there physically but not in a way I can interact with, rather than appearing 30 seconds into the round. This is happening for all objects now. Is this a known issue, something that happens after three things are merged? Not sure what to do.

Damn man, you kid is fucking awesome!:lol
 
Well I just watched the Str8 Rippin montage. Best montage I've ever seen. Ridiculous amounts of donging.

I agree with you there. That article was just awful.

Now Quake 3, my friends. That is a fun montage game.

Very well put together but over 600MBs of BR/Sniper headshots was mindnumbingly dull. Just watch the first couple kills and that sums up the entire video. Needler rules!

good editing and effects
 
it's finally fucking out?? watching now

edit: that was fuckin dirty. I like how it was low on the effects and just showed mainly gameplay in first person. great plays as per usual. Was there a non multi-kill in the montage? i don't think there was lol
 
Uggggh played 11 games of doubles tonight, 7 games were objectives and one was snipers. Could we have worse luck :( Boosters galore to, was there ever talk of placing matchmaking restrictions on people with high neg exp percentages? or did I make that up in my head?

I really feel like oddball and king of the hill are weighted to high, and should skip after veto. Neutral assault

LASTLY, we played team slayer on Standoff and apparently you can hide inside the closed tunnel by parking some mongooses outside and clipping through the last door. These 12 year old kids thought it would be funny to go up 2 kills and hide in there for 5 minutes. Is this a known issue?

That video should have been less edited. It seemed like it was made by a bunch of ADHD Linkin Park fans. Video boner wank. Boring.
 
I put that st8rippin video on a thumb drive and stuck it in my xbox, but it wont play the dang thing. It's an mp4 apparently. I thought xboxes could play those. What gives?
 
gah, i hate forge. so unwieldy, difficult, and time consuming to do the most basic of things.


maybe i'm just sour because i spent a few hours on an map before realizing it simply wouldnt work with what forge offers. grrr, i'll leave the map making to others.

AWESOME job with the remakes i've seen so far (sanctuary, turf, and warlock). any more coming down the pipes?

First time I am hearing about this. But then again I wouldn't be surprised. :lol

They need to just turn off radar all together for doubles.

Ascension should be coming soonish.
 
Watched the str8 montage. Some crucial dongings in there, but as a montage, it wasn't great. Dani is right. "Double kill, triple kill, overkill. Double kill, triple kill, overkill" gets boring after the 20th time. And where is it written in the Law of Montages that all montages have to use shitty music?

despite my last post, i'm thinking about making a desolation or relic remake :lol

i'm not a huge fan of either (though relic could be stupid fun) but both should at least be easier or doable to recreate to some extent. someone better then I should take on damnation.

you obviously don't know about the 3 golden rules of montages:
1. all montages must include the br and sniper only
2. all montages must have shitty music
3. all montages that don't follow rules 1 and 2 are better than those that do.
 
I started work on a Lockout remake yesterday. So far I have bottom and some of the top of lift and shotgun area almost done. It looks like I may run out of either the budget or items before i can finish though :/
 
Has Bungie ever offered a forge playlist that includes some of the best user-made forge maps? If not, why? Has the community simply not made good enough maps yet?

Haha, that reminds me of when the youtube video of Last Resort leaked from the private beta, and it had that awful music.

I remember that. I just turned it off and watched the video; I was so excited to see the Spartan Laser for the first time.

thats just what mlg montages are, sadly. watching it i just appreciated the fact that i would freak out if i got just 1 of those clips... and theyre doing it against the best players in the game :(

i wish i were a montage player... i never do anything fancy, just solid

Yea there has been talk about it but it sounds like the amount of maps that would be up to snuff are few. I am hoping that with sandbox that forge playlist might be a possibility.

I try to play the same way but sometimes it's hard to resist trying to do crazy moves.

Up Close and Personal with ExquisiteMidget

Exquisite Midget - Drunken Driving

?

Those are the only 2 montages I've ever been a part of. The first is my friends and I playing without shooting. The second is my friend Will getting drunk then going into BTB and attempting to drive the Warthog. We're not good enough to do real montages so we did silly ones.

I remember that. :lol :lol I stripped out the song and added one from the Halo 2 soundtrack. It went down much easier. And there was the video of the idiot kid showing off the sword and saying it "sticks up like a dick." :lol :lol

Naw, man it's not about playing that way, just by the fact that you play so many fucking games it eventually falls in your lap. I have some crazy retarded shit recorded but I'm too lazy to go through hours and hours of gameplay to find it and let alone learn how to edit the footage.

Seriously, playing non-stop customs and Gamebattles nets you some nasty shit.

*edit*

ha, i found a halo2 montage that I was in. my friend mattdundas was a so called 'montage clip player'.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHfNmGbzrG8

around 8 minutes i'm the first kill he gets in a killtrocity in halo2 haha

Just so folks know what they're getting into:

I devoted three full 100Mbit lines to the podcast last time around... and while I never went DOWN, it was definitely slow for many users for a stretch of time there.

You need at LEAST gigabit serving capability (and maybe more) for a 24-hour period (and multimegabit for the following month or so) to handle this.

Now would be the best time to let players host their own playlists. I got 2 xbox 360s, I could download all the maps from GAF and make it's own room. But then give players the ability to search for customs...

We did end up playing some customs last night, most fo them were hits too! But I think we had an older version of Firmament, the spawns were deadly! :D Great job on the maps everybody!

no I get that. I'm not the guy that chases a guy just to get a triple kill. But sometimes, when your snipe is on point, and you have a nice lead, it's fun to just fuck around and try to get some sick kills. But yea, I agree, after playing tons of matches, you're bound to get some sick plays without going for it.

The base itself isn't too bad, and is actually fun to make.

Everything else makes you think, though, unless you already pre-planned.

That's a great point. A dedicated machine seeding all the shows would only need a fraction of the bandwidth. I would in no way mind a dedicated Bungie podcast client in my system tray, even - if Blizzard can do it, why not Bungie?

Actually, that sounds all kinds of awesome now that I'm thinking about it more. Once the render-to-video client is done you could shove Bungie Favourites films in there for download as well. I bet there would be a ton of people who would eat that up.
