Plz make this a button layout, Bungie:

U guys don't use that layout?? I have been using it since Halo CE.
 
I really hope the audio guys at Bungie use the new theme over the old one, this game should really feel distinct from the adventures of the "last" Spartan. Music helps set the mood, so we should have new stuff to set a new mood.
 
Seriously, what's with those diagrams.

I don't know what you guys are wondering about with Halo:Recon on Multiplayer. If maps come on the Recon disk, I gonna assume you're still going to play them through normal Halo 3 matchmaking.

Something like "Halo 3: Recon" 'With bonus Mythic map pack!' as a sticker in the corner.

Are you guys concerned you're gonna buy them twice or something? I don't see what the big deal is.

Well, my post was concerning whether there would be actually new maps besides the Mythic map pack on the disc.

I was stating that Halo 3: Recon would be similar to the Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack but on a different level. The disc would appeal to three groups, the XBOX Live gamers who want more out of Halo 3 besides the maps, the gamers who don't want to pay for the Legendary Map Pack, and the offline gamers.

Indeed I am excited in many different ways.
 
So when is oddball getting a boost. I've played about 50 DLC FFA games and I have yet to see an oddball on a legendary map.

Actually I feel I should be given an achievement for playing all these terrible ass zombie and rocket and sword games.
 
If everyone started at level 25 skill, and either moved up or down as usual depending on wins and losses, wouldn't we avoid the problem of second accounters fucking up newbie games?
 
sandtrap (heavies especially) is terrible and should just be taken out of matchmaking in general. also, who the hell put high ground in for big team slayer. it's an objective map you morons.

I don't see why 1 CTF in Last Resort comes up more often. For 8v8, it isn't ideal, but for Squad Battle it's a perfect match, or at least you would think....
 
lol at diagrams

Generals are overrated, anyway. Brig General is where it's at.

Thank you kindly, and thanks to Cobaltz for helping me out.

You still have SWAT and Double Team (right?). Just let me know when you want to play, and we can go for your 50.

Finally got your 50 eh? :lol

I still need to get my 45 someday... get cobaltz, niterider, and you to help me, like you did with Jironmo.. should be a bit easier since I'm better at slaying people than him. He kicks ass at objective though.

I was going to mention this but forgot. I think that Halo 3: Recon will allow you to install the maps onto your hard drive (unless you've bought all three map packs already) and the majority of the time you spend with Halo 3: Recon will be based on the campaign. Actually was there mention of Forge included in this disc? I don't really recall.
 
I've given up trying to get my 45 in anything, at least without being carried, which I don't really want to do. I just keep bouncing back and forth between 40-42 in Lone Wolves. My problem seems to be that I play too cautiously (I'm used to TS and Doubles). Even when I come in the bottom half, I still usually go positive, but that's not getting me anywhere :lol

Can somebody tell me what happened here? I'm the one who fired the sniper rifle, and got the betrayal, just so you know.

Was it lag?

He had spawned and around the time you shot, and the place where he spawned made it a betrayal. My advice to you is don't use the sniper, even in a sniper's game, your now only allowed to melee people, thus reducing the chance of betrayal.
 
So I played some last night after a couple days of WoWing, my skills weren't as sharp, as expected. Not my main beef though, the game is still really laggy & if you manage to go an entire game without 2+ people quitting out it's a miracle, meh.

My suggestion, get a consistent group to party with. It makes MM so much more fun.

Hmm, maybe you, Colbat, me and Nutter (if he's down) for some TS?

Or I could play doubles with you or Colbat (although I'm only a 41 in Doubles).

Damn, just had a Team Slayer game on Guardian end 50-49.

We were in the lead 49-48 when I tried to grenade someone at Grav Hammer spawn and someone spawned/appeared behind me and assassinated me.

While I was respawning our team got the final kill. My heart is racing.

why does halo3 have huge fucking black borders in splitscreen?

it's actually embarrassing when a guest plays and asks why.

To preserve the correct aspect ratio.

Because the 360 can't render coop in the whole screen while keeping a decent framerate in campaign. In MP it makes sense to keep the aspect ratio as a design decision, but in coop, it is just a technical limitation.
