Man, whoever was the genius that made the spawns on Narrows and whoever "tested" them should have their heads examined. Horrible stuff all the way around. Testing has become a joke it seems.
 
Dad: What story would you like tonight, Calvin DAX?
Dax: Hamster Huey and the Gooey Kablooie! Halo: Fall of Reach!
Dad: Oh no, not again! That's what you hear every night! Let's read something different.
Dax: I WANT MASTER CHIEF! I WANT MASTER CHIEF!
Dad: C'mon, we'll read a new story tonight. You'll like it, I promise.
Dax: No I won't! I'll stay awake until morning if you don't read Fall of Reach!

Arbiter: I didn't remember Hamster Huey Master Chief having quite that sarcastic tone of voice.
Dax: Or doing everything so fast.

Do you think they'll ever find Hamster Huey's Master Chief's head?

:P
 
Via HBO, a man presumed to be an Ensemble employee was seen wearing a Superintendent sticker in a Halo Wars interview video (29 seconds in).

I am becoming more and more open to the idea that this may be Halo related.

That's what I posted a couple days ago. They're more random than before, and that, on a map like Narrows, is not fun.

The regens also need a serious time adjustment on Isolation. What is it, ten sec timer? Lord! Everytime I met somebody head on or shot at them in the center near Needler, they simply toss one down like it's no one's business.

Why so douchebaggy?

scratch it, I don't give a damn.


I'm so sure this SI is Halo-related. I keep thinking about the BUngie-roadtrip thingy too. :P I really hope someone pinpoints his location , and that he comes to chicago! :D

I was under the impression equipment would be a rarity during the game. But it respawns entirely too fast.

Shit, that post I made was the last one before I went to sleep last night, and I thought that juice's post was the real weekend playlist hopper :lol . Some of those looked pretty awesome :(

Weekend Grifball is up apparently, with a slight variant on the map according to the bungie post, but I haven't had a chance to get on yet.


Yes I made an awesome playlist. Sorry for getting your hopes up. A lot of the gametypes WOULD be super awesome.

Anyways on my drunken way home from a friends house I came upon a turtle who is now my new pet in a giant aquarium tank I have from awhile ago. Taking applications for names.

Also after making a serious attempt at a forge game and thoroughly testing everything (seriously look at my customs 25 games of CTF/Forge Testing) including spawns I will no longer rip on spawns in H3. I don't care if it is apparently a broken system it is damn near impossible to fix it with the given Forge system.

Game type is on PART of Rats Nest. It has two bases blue base is where Sniper spawns and red base is at rockets. The huge doors at blue base are closed off by the huge containers the red base is closed off by double boxes in the middle the two doors on right and left are closed off by bridges so its basically a straight line. Man cannons are installed and it is played as CTF SWAT with 150% movement and only 75% gravity. Its a fast paced CTF in a very small symmetrical arena.

Isn't he/she/it just amazing? Also what the hell do turtles eat?

Blue base, yes theres no flag I went to take the pictures in a one player custom I guess if theres no blue team the blue flag doesn't spawn.

Red base

Picture of mid from red base

Yes very small level designed for fast paced custom fun.

Depends on the turtle. That's a Painted Turtle. Give him some slices of apple, carrot, banana, green bean, and berries and if you have a pet store nearby, pick him up some crickets and worms.

Yes. Look at this post by Lukems, brah.

One of the most often asked question is always about the legendary Recon armour that we reward to the most worthy Halo 3 players out there. Because of this, I can official announce today at the Microsoft Conference E3 2008, that on the 3rd of August 2008, players will be able to buy Recon armour for the small fee of 200 Microsoft points.
See you there, brahs.

Naturally, there is alot of conflict over this. Quite of of the community are exicted while others are up in arms.

I hope they do cause I'm getting fucking sick of having two or three new "SEND 2 EVREY1 FOR RECONZ!!" messages each day.

When I was a kid I would go outside and catch grasshoppers and feed them to my turtle.

Just make sure that they can't jump out, I would break the grasshoppers legs before you put it in the tank. :lol I was a strange kid.

You should name your turtle Kool-Aid Man.

What the fuck is your problem? I've never insulted you, so I would appreciate it if you would show me the same courtesy.

Yes, presumed to be. Let's get some sort of confirmation before we jump to conclusions.
 
What actually is the criteria to get the Recon armor? I just recently started getting all those stupid screenshots of it. I saw you said only the elite get it but who is that?

I'm assuming that their will be a lengthy write-up about this whole debacle in BWU this week.
There maybe a brief mention but they've said pretty much all that can/needs to be said. I wouldn't mind if they were able to give us a rough idea of when we should expect the announcement (not sure how I'd feel if they tried to reboot their previous cryptic breadcrumb).

I'm guessing it'll be revealed before (or at) PAX because it seems Bungie was going to do something awesome and most likely their plans revolved around this announcement. If MS were to indeed screw them over at PAX as well it'll be pretty telling of this
short lived?
relationship.

By "only the elite get it" he means only those wearing elite armor in 1000 straight MM games get it. It's a pretty tough endeavour for many but some still think it's worth it.

I'd really like if they just came out up front with us and told us when to expect the announcement. I don't want to do this breadcrumb shit again either. After this whole debacle, the best thing they can do(besides say fuck it and leak the announcement)is to be up front with us fans and just tell us when to expect the announcement. Maybe not an exact day, but a fairly specific timeframe, none of this "further down the road" shit.

The time for teasing is over, it's time to be up front with us.

No fuckin' way, Juices. A couple weeks back I was drunk outside my house and I found a turtle who is now my pet too! At first I named him Yossarian (yes, I'm an English Lit major) but then I landed on MEGATRON (because he transforms ... get it?).

Feed it stuff like raw meat, deli meat (bologna works really well), grapes, strawberries, lettuce, etc. Anything natural/vegetablish/fruitish.

Oh, yeah, and Halo 3 is awesome. Going to be playing mad amounts tonight if anyone's up for it.

Send Lukems/Shishka an email with the header reading "I would really appreciate it if you gave me recon :)". Then make sure to make a ton of nudie pics in Forge on Sandtrap and attach them to your fileshare for all to see.
 
How come I have never got even just one of these "Recon" screenshots?

Also I'm on the side of the don't give it to everyone. Having something to look forward to obtaining by doing good is a great thing. It's almost like the "Heaven" in real life. Except just an in-game piece of armor that others don't have.:lol (Yes I just compared Recon to Heaven, whaddugunnado?)

Also someone please to shop flight helmet onto turtle?:D (I tried but my image editing skills are...terrible)

I've only gotten one. I feel so left out. :(

Hello, people, I'm on Ghaleon and Urk's friends list! Send me your stupid messages! I want comic relief!

I will spread the word for you for 4,000MP.
 
FINALLY back in the 40s in Team Slayer after somehow managing to fall all the way down to 37.

And I also have to reemphasize my hatred for Standoff. Commanding the Warthog(s) pretty much means that you win the match. My team was down by 15 kills at one point but after we destroyed theirs and jumped in ours, we won by 4 kills. I personally hate driving/shooting. I'd much rather be on foot and take out the guys who are hiding/laser the other Warthog.
