Oh yeah, leave me some space at the kids table :lol

There is plenty of room at the Junior Member kids table, It's really nice over here. Also, I like to think I sit at the head of this table.

I want a remake of Blood Gulch/Coagulation at night. Speaking of which, I would love to see the return of night vision in HALO Reach. It's been too damn long.

Valhalla makes those old hats obsolete. I'm not sure if they said anything about making DLC for ODST but it'd be pretty nifty if they remade old CE campaign sections or MP maps as firefight arenas.

I am still waiting for my Team PodZ V2.1 on Sandslap V3 in the MLG playlist, then I could show the generals who the 'Bad Kids' are.

Oh and ShinAmano, avoid going into Swat with anything above 2 people. In a party of 3 there is a high chance of matching up against a team of 50's who love to demonstrate their finger dexterity and lightning reflexes by camping your spawns and watching you suffer. It's hell.

It seems like the ODST hub world is going to be at night and with the visor I am thinking it should have the same vibe. An under the cover of night cameo in a specific part of the hub world would be amazing.

Yeah, that would be great, or I was even thinking of the H2 Multiplayer map Terminal as a firefight map or even a campaign section since it fits in great with the overall story arch of ODST.


Also, can anyone recommend a free editing software program that works with .wmv?

 

[Biscuits]

Welcome to the fray! Now, you must choose sides! AR or BR, Bungle or anti-Bungle, polite or rude as Hell!

Edit: It looks like a bunch of new accounts were approved today. I've seen a couple of juniors and people are twittering about GAF a lot. It's amusing.

Everyone knows Bungle's where all the real pros are at.

As for AR/BR...

Windows Movie Maker is free and as a basic editing tool isn't too bad. I use Sony Vegas Pro 8 which is awesome, though not cheap!

During the teabagging part, I thought the guy was actually gonna.. well, you know.

 

[ShinAmano]

Trust me, you two should probably just stick together and go in as a team of 2 as opposed to finding 1 or 2 more players to round out a team of 3 or 4. The reason I say this is because in many of the hardcore playlists, if you go in with a full team, you will get absolutely raped by teams of 3 or 4 who are quickly boosting up to 50. It's happened a few times to my brother and me and we eventually got his 50 in SWAT simply by going in as a party of 2 and hoping that our teammates would be at least competent.

Hmmm...sounds like solid advice.

Choosing a third-party weapon? Smart move.

With BioShock 2 likely delayed until next year, it looks like my GOTY is coming out September 22nd!

New Mythbusters which is awesome

The Rocket-on-fire one and the Super Bounce using Deployable Cover are both really cool.

Good episode, and yes they both are. The invisible weapons glitch and throwing grenades through the walkways into the hammer room were both interesting.

The invisibilty thing was cool. The deployable cover bounce has been around since Halo 3 shipped. I remember doing it when I first got the game after seeing it on the MLG forums (of all places). This may be why it's not in MM.

Speaking of editing, whatever happened to the GAF montage? It was discussed during Saturday customs, but nothing since.

There wasnt a whole lot of enthusiasm. Dax was looking at doing it a few weeks ago, again and discussion kinda fizzled out.

That exploit was found a few weeks ago. I've seen it several times in matchmaking since. Though it was only GAFers using it.

Here's hoping the fusion cores are yanked in the next update.

I think a failtage is better suited for the HaloGAF. Just a giant montage of us doing stupid and random stuff in MM. We need the DPM meter as well.

 

[The Librarian]

I can still do it and would be very eager to do so. They just all need to be in either SD or HD for each video. Each video needs to have a theme, too, like "no-scopes," "sticks," "splatters," etc.

Seeing as I have seen more no-scopes than any other, I'd be willing to do a video montage of HaloGAF's no-scopes, first.

Shishka posted at HBO that it would be fixed in the August Playlist Update.

if youre a big enough scrub to let some kid grab the flag, balance it on the fusion coil and shoot it without interceding then you deserve to lose

Very good, I'd missed that.

It only takes a couple of seconds to do, once you know how to do it. So what you are saying is, if you are a big enough scrub to get your flag stolen, then you deserve to lose. Which I suppose is true enough.

I'm assuming you've never had a flag stolen?

Someone else posted that info here earlier (and had a link too), but I don't recall who.

No I'm saying if youre a big enough scrub to let some kid grab the flag, balance it on the fusion coil and shoot it without interceding then you deserve to lose. Shoot the fusion coil when you spawn. Problem solved.

Not splatters with random ass vehicles?

 

[The Librarian]

Oh, definitely. My all-time best betrayal was during a zombies match.

So everyone on board for a "no-scopes" HaloGAF montage? It would be a "pilot episode," essentially.

 

[KevinRo]

If HaloGAF does a montage why don't we do a montage of highlights of us playing on the custom made maps during customs? We'll show off the maps all the while showing off cool stuff, also that way everyone will be in it one way or another.

Just a suggestion. Oh yeah, we def need a DPM in the bottom corner.

Remove the fusion coils today. Not sure why it would need to be implemented into next month's "update." :lol

This. It would truly be a HaloGAF montage.

If he changed it today he would lose a bullet point in the next update's list. He needs as many as he can get.

You can force rockets to do this. I will load the vid into my file share if I still have it.

I sort of agree.

On the other hand though, you also deserve the fail if the flag lands outside the map boundaries. :lol

The exploit works with the bomb too. I lost our bomb once :lol It was hilarious.

It's a symmetrical map, of course there's one flag on it.

Why do I need my Halo PC game?

Only Halo game I still own ^_^, I love it so much. Been thinking of going through a replay of the campaign

And you know what else I love, Decided to dig up the Halo 3 soundtrack. Always gets you pumped. So I've been playing it while playing BF43 online. The source of my power.

I know the flag exploit sucks, but the fusion core is kind of a last ditch save if the base is being raided...

Either as they climb the outside or if they try to take the flag over the main lift...it serves as a good way to stop the flag steal attempt. I would hope there is another way to fix this issue.

Amazon has them for $57 + 4 shipping new.

 

[kylej]

No sorry the best use of the fusion coil on Valhalla is to roll it onto the ground, stand on it and maybe teabag it a little bit then roll it into the mancannon in the outlandish hope that it may land on a friend and kill them.

I've been having a lot of fun playing Halo lately...it's one of the few games that I can't stop coming back to.
