Oh. 7 EXP. So you have to go into a playlist in which you are a private grade 2 on the seventh of a month?LunaticPuma said:

I wonder how long it'll be 'til someone can confirm that unlocking everything gives you Recon. Maybe the 7th of October?SpudBud said:Oh I forgot, I can confirm that the new achievements unlock the the armor permutations you don't have.
I finally have my Katana and Security helmet!

What isn't mature is not only bringing back your original Dax01 account but to have your name changed on your alt to go even deeper undercover. :lol

You notice how he posted with his 2 accounts back to back there? He isn't fooling me
Edit: Back to Halo related things Has any one really noticed a difference game play wise with AU2? I haven't been back home from campus yet.

Sweet! You just need 1000 GP to unlock both? A couple people said that it only unlocked the Security armor and that you'll need to unlock the original achievements to unlock the swhhord.

I don't know if it's just me, but grenades seem to be a tad bit more powerful. Spawn system is definitely better, and with AR starts now you get a pistol as well. And I don't know if it was lag because it only happened to me once, but I was playing Team Slayer on Narrows earlier and was luring my opponent over to an overshield. I was going to let him think I had no shields so that he will rush in and try to kill me, while I, at the last moment, would grab the overshield and kill him instead. Now, normally when I get the overshield I receive a couple of seconds of invincibility while the shields recharge, but that didn't happen this time. He threw a grenade in at the moment I got the overshield, and WHAM, the overshield was gone, but my shields were depleted.Captain Blood said:
Played some DLC BTB and I'm happy to say the weighting of the maps seem equal. Valhalla popped up 3 times out of the 4 matches I entered but only got to play it twice because apparently achievements are more important than multi-flag Valhalla!
The gametypes seemed a lot better, didn't see VIP, Territories, or Covies pop up but then again I didn't play many matches. Team Splockets on Sandtrap came up but was swatted down with vetoes. I'm hoping it's not a Spartan Laser and Rockets match but judging by the shit they but in SBTB I wouldn't be surprised. The latency was also much better but that could just be because there were a lot of guest and I went in solo.
As hyped as I was for Squad Battle, I think my most played playlist will be DLC BTB. Teh fact that Isolation is in SB makes my penis soft. I'm not a fan of 6v6 slayer on sandtrap either but at least that has da chop. That and ranked matches seem to bring out the forced hosts and having 12 different 360's in a game almost guarantees lag.

Does anyone remember what the original Halo 2 playlist was that was slayer & skirmish? It was a launch playlist that was eventually split up because people complained about having to play objective games instead of only slayer.

What I meant was that I had played it, and it was fun but not as good as what I was expecting. I mean it could be a better experience for you, just it wasn't as good as what I thought it was going to be.

I LOVE having the pistol secondary, but it's bitten me in the ass a few times. I'm too used to picking up my first new weapon without switching first, and I've ended up with some awkward power weapon/pistol combos.

Trying to defend that flag down there at the end was so epic, we almost had it![/QUOTE]
Haha, yeah. I knew what I was getting myself into, though, when I decided to drive that Mongoose directly onto the flag. Nothing good ever comes out of that maneuver when the flag is right next to the offensive spawns... :lol

There was just something about it that didn't make me jump with joy, like I said, I still need to play some more games, maybe I wasn't in a Halo mood this morning, whatever it was I just didn't have fun. Doesn't mean I hate it with a passion, it just means I have to get some more games in on it and try it out some more.

that was just team skirmish. it was like 95% obj and 5% ts, while there wasn't a playlist for team slayer.

I have been thinking about that ... since it is all I can do till my 360 gets back. On a good note I checked xbox.com today and they have shipped it back to me today! Maybe by a miracle I will have it by Friday.

I'm sure it's a lot more complicated than that. Though, it seems like we will be getting a (at least somewhat) huge announcement on Thursday or Friday. Be it new maps, or SI, or both, it should be enough to hold us over for awhile.Kibbles said:

They sound ready from Luke's update, they are just waiting for MS to work out a release plan, which was also said before when Assembly was revealed last month. I know they want to release it strategically, (which sucks for us) but it's been a month and they still haven't came up with anything? :S

Can you imagine Bungie having one map completely done and ready to play at PAX a month ago and then have the other maps so not done that they can't lock down a release window....seems unlikely. I think we can prob hate big bad Microsoft again on this one.
Edit: also please don't hit my kidneys k thanks
