Dax = social outcast confirmed.
I simply listed that guys I've enjoyed playing with who have made Halo 3 not only an awesome game but a great place to shoot the shit. I appreciate that so that's how I express my thanks. It was a response to Dani's rant about how joking together was creating a circle jerk that hurts the thread.
We've been playing with each other for a year so of course we're going to joke around in the thread but why should he get butt-hurt about that. Not being on my goofy list doesn't mean I don't think they're cool, it's just people I haven't played with a lot, for whatever reason, so I probably don't joke around with them as much. I'm open to playing with almost anyone here and getting to know them to expand that list.

Why don't you pick on the next new kid that arrives in here and tell him that you want to play with him when in all honesty you don't? Then you should tease him about it, and go so far as to invite to a game only to boot him (do this for about several times) when all the guy wants to do is have some good games with people other than randoms.EazyB said:

If I played with you you'd veto BRs and play AR starts. I can't have that. Plus I only play with people that touch Bungie's doorknob directly. If your dad's down for some games later tell him to send a FR to me.

Man, you guys need to lighten up. Everything has to be some big fuckin slight against you when you're not mentioned. The Halo community is large and those with similar interests will gravitate together. No one owes it to anyone else to include them.
Anyway.... So about this 2 map pack thing, when I get Halo 3:ODST in the fall, I get 3 maps out of the 6? So I will still need to procure the earlier 3 in some manner for full Mythic map pack playlist access?

Initially Sandtrap had potential, but it just doesn't tap as a great large team battle map to me.
Avalanche isn't as great to play as Sidewinder, in my view, but it's still the best map to play big team games on for me. Valhalla has gotten rather stale, but is still fun. Overall I like Avalanche the best on Halo 3 for larger scale battles.
Pedro,
Yes. You'll get Citadel, Heretic, and Longshore.

I've actually been gameless for about two months now. I'm too poor to play any games that cost some sort of fee to play online. :lol
Also, I heard Ram hasn't been playing anything but his girlfriend for a while yet you still mention him! I'm gonna have to take your name and number out of my phone. JERK!
WTF! I don't play for a couple months and you people let Eazy use FLIGHT again?! What is this blasphemy?!?!

Disregard it. The ODSTs have issues with the Spartans as detailed in the first novel you read. Their relationship shifts along the way -- not chronologically, but in the sequence of releases they've had.KevinRo said:
As I understand it, you get every map ever released, plus three new ones (Citadel, Longshore and Heretic) when you buy ODST. If you want the Mythic Map Pack (Assembly, Orbital and Sandbox) early, you have to either buy Halo Wars: Limited Edition late Feb/early Mar or wait for it "a little later."PedroLumpy said:

Yes, that's my understanding. ODST is a ways off though. September at the earliest.PedroLumpy said:

Nice shop, tuna.
I honestly wouldn't be terribly surprised. I think some people's expectations for this map are set a bit too high. The tools available through forge are locked in (I'm guessing) which makes the possibilities limited. I'm still not ruling out the start from scratch idea the blue-print room hints at but that seems like it'd be really hard to accomplish.scola said:
More likely the map will be a empty sandy expanse much like sandtrap. Having built in elevation changes (hills, cliffs, etc.) would be kinda limiting but then again the only other reasonable option I see would be premade hill forge items which would has their own limitations. Regardless I'm really dying to see what Bungie has cooked up.

Hai Halo-GAF. Commence said "circle-jerk" in 5...
Christ's sake, I go into the Killzone 2 thread (one I have been posting in, and I am genuinely interested in the game), I say nothing about Halo, and I get accused of defending Halo and criticizing KZ2. :S Is it my avatar? Fuck. I guess a man is not allowed to enjoy video games? That reminds me, I gotta get a new avy, Christmas is over. =(

Flight gifs never get old.
So now it's Avalanche vs Sand Trap eh? I prefer Avalanche for objective games, but for slayer I'll take Sand Trap. The elephants can allow for some interesting objective gameplay, but I rarely get into matches where people use the "portable bases" strategically. Then again, I don't play a whole lot of Sand Trap BTB anyways. :S

I think all of halogaf needs to all play together and be friends.
I have been on a flight gif hiatus for a long time. I have a treasure chest of gifs waiting to be flighted yet have not done so. I want to thank you personally, Juices, for motivating me to make more.xxjuicesxx said:
Thinking about it more I think I'm being a little unfair to Avalanche. It's just that started with DLC Objective and now DLC BTB I've played an disproportionately large amount of the map. Hopefully Tuesday's update will ease my frustration. It's definitely something special for multi flag and neutral bomb. I still say Sandtrap gets too much hate. I mean how can you hate this?Kibbles said:

I play Halo on Mondays with a regular crew of Eurogamer people, but otherwise, yeah, the timezones fuck me.
And I can't help it if L4D is a near-perfect game (patch plz valve).

I dun have halo 3 
I was a huge halo 1 fan during freshman/sophomore years of college, playing on xbconnect nonstop. Stood in the midnight release line for halo 2 and everything. Then I played halo 2 and wanted to cry. Picked up my 360 in march last year and never "finished the fight". Should I buy Halo 3? I don't know what the hell 'flight' is, and I'm guessing it doesn't have the zoom-pistol...

IMO Flight should be a bullet point on the back of every copy of Halo 3.bistromathics said:I dun have halo 3

Not sure what turned you off on Halo 2; if you could elaborate it'd probably make easier to say whether you'd like Halo 3 or not. The SP plays a little more open and "sandboxy" than Halo 2 but still not quite as well as Halo 1. The MP from CE to 2 had its share of changes; not sure if that's the part you got turned off on. Halo 3 plays extraordinarily well in large, vehicle maps but many would say it currently lacks a healthy variety of smaller maps.
I would generally recommend Halo 3 to anyone who loved Halo CE so much but you're throwin me off by saying Halo 2 was such a letdown.

If you look at the sketch, the sand in the middle area seems to be sloping downwards, ie, a hill, and also appears closer to the camera, on the Sandtrap one, the sand in the same area is obviously very far in the background.
The two pictures obviously depict two different places and so, obviously Sandbox is clearly not the same level.
However, I would not be surprised if Sandbox's geometry used the same styling as Sandtrap, as one would expect Bungie to carry a running theme (ancient forerunner base in sandy area, makes sense for the bases to be made from the same material, but with a different layout).
Level has hills, sand, familiar geometry and familiar background geometry (the tower looks similar to Sandtrap with a few obvious differences). Also, it appears it's set a night.
I don't it's possible to pull more out of that sketch than what people have already. Except, it ain't Sandtrap.

I've had you on my friends list for quite a long time, and I don't think I've ever played a game with you. I love BTB too, so next time I'm on I'll shoot you an invite and we'll see if we can get some Avalanche action going.vhfive said:sent/sending out a massive amount of friend requests. trying to fill my friends list with people from gaf. if you don't except i will not be offended. i love big team and will play mlg customs. i also like long walks on the beach and beautiful eyes

Im also hoping for a more advanced Foundry. I dont see why it would be so complicated. Just add more items for that map, like small buildings or something. Its doable.
Im going out on a limb and saying that Sandbox wont even have sand in it.

Well I think the picture should've been taken on the opposite end of the map too, because in Lukes image one pillar is missing the extra shiny surface, just like the opposite side of Sand Trap. I just found that pic from someone on Bnet and decided to go with it.Dani said:
