I'll keep a lookout.
You know the person giving out Recon isn't necessarily Luke. It could be any of the employees.

Which brings me to my challenge: if anyone here has any Halo t-shirts they should walk around with it this weekend to see if anyone approaches them.

Whoa...did I miss something? Why is the Campaign Kill Count on bungie.net at 0?
Eep. For me it's at 6,888,161,749.
 
I finished Assasin's Creed! Holy shit, what a great game. GOTY. Game Informer had it right: 9.5. This means that I'm coming back to Halo 3, and I'll be helping this 7 septillion kills movement.

Bungie.net got a new background, once again related to the new map. Hawtness again.

I like it. I like the look of Cold Storage in general. I was afraid that we would be getting another boring, shiny-gray forerunner map like Narrows, but it has a lot of visually compelling stuff.

How dare you come into this thread and claim that Assassin's Creed is better than Halo 3.
 
It's gonna be a good weekend. I got paid today, and I'm off work for the next two days (finally). Gonna play some Halo for reals, yo.

And then Monday...?
 
Shishka said:

Yeah I played some red glare which is pretty fun for a gimmick game. Played Multi-CTF on Valhalla twice in a row (nice Wraith) and Multi-CTF Pit. CTF Valhalla and Pit with BR starts = perfection.


This, however, is not perfection.



20% Land Grab in Skirmish. grossssssssss

Of course Assasin's Creed isn't my GOTY! I just got overexcited.

Here, my demanding, slightly nasty friend, this should cheer you up...

I'm not nasty.

So who is going to be off Monday for whatever reason?

--- Pretty background of Cold Storage---

Anyone got a background without the bungie url at the top?
 
Shishka said:
It came from Stosh, RunningTurtle and my own blood sweat and tears.
Had we known about it before you posted the URL just then?

Holy shit, I didn't even see the link the first time I replied to this. Thanks a ton, this has been something I (and many others) have wanted for quite a while.

I have a quick question:
Are all the maps equally weighted? What about Valhalla and Sandtrap since they also have a covies varient?
 
Does anyone know if the infinite money bug on foundry is a bug or a modded map? It'd be super ironic if they started banning people for modded maps, while having one (amplified) in matchmaking.


I'm 99% sure it's a bug, and I'm 99% sure Amp doesn't even use that bug, but I know it originated from MLG forums.

It's a glitch. You do it by creating a lot of stuff outside the level and saving it at a certain time or something like that.

No, it had only gone up a few moments before I linked it. I didn't update the blog because I don't want to detract from the ViDocs and shenanigans and what-have-you.

No, maps are not equally weighted, and not all maps are available for all gametypes. I simplified the weightings so as to not make things too complicated for someone that just wants to know what the hell they just played. Weighting is actually distributed across gametype/map variant pairings and not simply the gametypes alone, but the playlist page shows you enough that you can say "Ah, that's why I got Team Slayer a hundred times, it's the only gametype in the playlist."

Amp doesn't use the infinite money bug. In fact, MLG has stopped using that bug since they started working with us on an MLG playlist. Onslaught did use the bug at one point, but they fixed it. At one point they had another Forge map that never made it to matchmaking because they could not fix it to their liking.

I'm interested to know what sort of testing goes into the MLG stuff between you guys and them, or if they basically get free reign of what goes in. I know that Amplified is pretty much detested by the majority of everyone that plays it.

I hope you give them some good information about what gets vetoed and all that.

I've been having this question on my mind.

The normal standard VIP hasn't really gained popularity among players. Are there any plans to change the standard VIP into a different variant? I was thinking of Escort, it involves more strategy and less camping in the base.
 
I called my friend to come and bring Halo 3, and we were playing some online on the new Double EXP playlist, and we have Bumper Jumper controls on. Well my friend was running the flag back and a guy was trying to pick him up in the mongoose, my friend tries holding RB, but it melee's and he kills the driver :lol We ended up loosing the match because of this >.>

Bumper Jumper is a fad, like the Needler!
 
Holy fuck my nieghbors are shooting off firewroks non-stop, scaring the cats and waking up the kid.

IT'S NOT EVEN THE FUCKING FOURTH OF JULY YET!

...I'm going to have to go after these guys with my BR.

TDG, are you sure want you want to use such drastic measures so quickly? Try threatening them, and if that doesn't work, then use your BR.

Shiska can you please explain the reasoning behind VIP and Territories being weighted so highly? I can't think of a time when they weren't vetoed - the only time is when we're forced to play them after something else was vetoed (in which the entire room sighs and/or curses).

May I suggest Multi-Bomb Assault instead?
 
Holy shit I didn't even see this playlist stuff! Oh shit, it's everything I ever dreamed of. Thanks Shishka! I have a fun night ahead of me.

I'm a man of action, sweetheart.


OT: The Dyack stuff just makes me sad in so many ways...
