All spawn points are just around the bottom of the hill. Players must find their way to the top and keep the top as long as they can.
Works as teams or FFA. Meant to be played as part of the minigames series.

Yeah, this was mentioned earlier in this very thread when you were talking about it before. I seriously doubt they'll release it for download, but I don't believe it'll be $60 retail either.
According to the achievements, there are six Mythic maps and those we'll see in Jan/Feb. Earliest we'll get the additional map content and the new campaign would be September/October. That's a long wait and I'm sure I'll get $20 worth out of the Mythic maps between Feb and September (at least).
/all of this is my opinion obviously, based on just what we've heard so far.

Perhaps GameVee got discouraged from Bungie's BungieTube announcement and closed up Grab for good? It certainly seems that way.

For me not really because I finally have a capture card, I'm debating to get Bungie Pro again, I do have 3800 MS points to spare though and since now I know that H3: Recon won't be DLC, I might get it again when the video process goes live just to try it out, plus I don't need it right now either.

Yeah I have a capture card (SD though), so if this service provides sharp quality at a decent resolution, I'll take it anyday over my capture card, especially because of the hassle required with it.
Perhaps we could get a sample clip of the quality/resolution of a BungieTube video in the next Weekly Update?

Woah, story time that is Halo but not Halo 3 related, way back when H2 came out, I started making movies, and I had a putfile account with them on it, well I randomly just remembered it and watched some of my old movies I made, some new, some using cutscenes, here are the links to them if you want to check them out.

I laugh because he wasn't on my team. Why do you even play the game if you quit out this much?

Can any of you guys tell me if there's anyway outside of pre-ordering the game to get in the beta of COD:WAW. I'd ask in their thread, but I assume those questions come so constantly that they won't answer. I assume someone here is well-informed, anyhow. 
People are sad.

I still need Yorick and Flag Dropped. I'll just wait for a 3 Ball weekend to get Yorick (I think one is slated in the next few weeks?), but I keep getting screwed out of Flag Dropped 
I think some websites are giving them away. I think you can also register on the CoD website, but I'm not sure if that's a pre-order type deal or not either. I'm not a big CoD multiplayer fan, so I haven't really looked into it.

Pre-order the game, get the code, cancel pre-order next week?

Finally got my Verizon DSL hooked up yesterday. Looks like I'll probably be switching from Comcast to Verizon. The games were better and I even maintained a full 5/5 for connection on some games. It's amazing how a little lag can take a lot of the fun out of Halo MP. Next test will be to see how it handles 2 people playing from my box.

Who the fuck thought 2 Flag Heavies on Standoff was a good idea?
That was the most unfun, broken piece of shit gametype I have ever played. A Spartan Laser, Rocket, Gaus Warthog, Banshee and Sniper Rifle all on the same map? Are you kidding me? I was continually getting spawn killed within a second of spawning in. Then the other team got 2 Flag caps and just hovered around our base for the other 10 minutes with all the super weapons/vehicles, and of course it spawned us outside the base so we would get killed instantly. Christ.
Proof this gametype is shit:

Actually, since the original Greek ending was -ize, many old-fashioned British English style guides (i.e. Oxford) insist on -ize endings. The use of -ise endings as standard in British English is a relatively recent development.cjelly said:
That said, if you do use -ize spellings, there are still some universal exceptions: advertise, advise, apprise, chastise, circumcise, comprise, compromise, demise, despise, devise, disfranchise, enfranchise, enterprise, excise, exercise, improvise, incise, premise, revise, supervise, surmise, surprise, televise

One thing that has always annoyed me with Windows is that the 'British English' doesn't change the Minimize and Maximize. I don't think I've ever seen anyone over here using the -ize.

You know, before I read this thread today I would have spelled it 'judgement' without thinking. But even now firefox is telling me I spelled it wrong. :lol

It isn't a sin to do so, although 'judgement' certainly does look a lot more "correct" than 'judgment' does.
Edit: Interesting. I beat Silent Hill Homecoming (which was developed by an American company), and I got this:
So... misspelled based on region?
Perhaps Bungie should enable the missile silos for Heavies. Or have a console in the bases that control the outlying radar dishes that shoot DEATH RAY LASERS!DancingJesus said:
...because, you know, the 4 lasers on the map aren't enough.

I mean what the fuck... Someone at Bungie seriously thinks that's fun? Hello, brain damage! How are you doing?
Spawning outside of the base over and over while some dudes in guass hogs kill you as soon as you spawn over and over... While some guys across the map snipe you as soon as you spawn over and over... While some dudes laser you as soon as you spawn over and over... All while some dudes br you over and over.
DUMBEST FUCKING THING EVER
I'm equally amazed by the stupidity of the people I played with. An avalanche objective game was vetoed before we got this. How fucking dumb can you be?

Jesus wtf is with people so afraid of quitting because Bungie has this Experience system LOL. If you aren't having fun LEAVE, its just a fucking video game.
Obviously MM failed to get a close match, you were getting pooped on, just quit.
Bottom line MM needs to be redone. It needs to add the highest skills of each team, factor in their status (brig,colonel,etc) and factor in games played and then create a semi-close skill level between teams. Even in social.

I think I like it better having different skill levels for each of the different playlists. Someone could be excellent at slayer but has no team work for objective based games. I don't think he should be set up with high levels in objective than he should be just because he is good at slayer. I mean how bad would it suck just because I am a general I was matched up against some fierce rocket race players out there.....it just wouldn't be fair

Squad Battle Slayer on Construct is not something I would care to play again.
I realize I'm way late on this by now, but we just got hold of the official press release today - and it looks like they've changed 'expanded' to 'full'.CougRon said:

Hey, I just found this as I was reading the Tsavo Highway chapter on Ascendant Justice (awesome site btw, great job), thought it was a nice little teaser as to what we've got coming next year:
I wonder if the character on the radio is the eponymous Recon?
While I'm on a campaign kick, does anyone know if there's a completed campaign runthrough of H3 recammed in theatre mode? Even a community group-effort? I've found a few on youtube, but they're all part one's (and pretty great it must be said, although the music is a little overworked), and machinima.com is an unnavigable clusterfuck of awful. I personally enjoy recamming multiplayer games, and I'd love to watch a really skillful recam of the game. It's a bit like watching a cartoon with your toys in it, but with amazing special effects.
One of these days I'll have to get a video capture card and give it a go myself I suppose. It looks like a ton of effort though!

We speculate as much in the teaser article:Jedeye Sniv said:

It seems reasonable to suggest that the events surround the Forerunner gateway and this new mission work hand in hand, but it's a bit early to tell.
A look at an update from Frank about two years ago has some telling information as well:
I know everyone is focused on why Regret came to Earth, but I'd like to find out how he knew about the second Halo ring, Installation 05.
