I would have to say my favorite map right now would be either The Pit or Snowbound. I love playing both so much.



I know this HAD to have been covered, but why is there no clan support for this game?!?!? What happened? Or am I just completely blind? Are they going to add it in an update? I need to know. I was really excited for clan support again. It was excellent in Halo 2.

If you want video proof, the video is on my share. Detatch the camera around the 58 minute mark. You should see me walk into a building after

blowing up the Scarab on The Ark and heading to the top of the spire

.

When you see a room with sleeping Grunts, you're in the right area. There should be the Brute above in the corner of the room. Watch and laugh.

I saw that too (assumed he was taking a whizz), but i quickly hit him over the back of the head, so i didn't see/hear much, oh well

Glad to know it's not just me. I only heard and saw more because of going back with the Saved Film to see if I was crazy. :lol

Anyone else run into the bug where you lose some of the armor you have unlocked? I lost the stuff for the chop achievement.

so, whats everyones favorite/least favorite maps?

The Pit is my favorite brand new map. Love the setting and design. The only problem is in a shotty sniper match when you spawn up in the top building it is really easy just to camp. The top building spawn should be removed for matches where you have a power weapon like the sniper.

In a normal Slayer match I would say it is the most balanced map so far in the MM list.

least favorite - Contruct. this is an abomination to the Halo series, I never went to play this piece of shit. one team spawns up top with BR's, Sword, Snipe...one team spawns down low with the missle pod and flame thrower?

Agreed, just a really badly setup map. If anything the sniper should spawn down the bottom for people to take out the campers up top.

 

[WHOAguitarninja]

Brute Pee

I saw that as well...was a bit of a WTF moment for me.

Then I shot him in the face Far Cry style.

 

[TommyT]

No no. Doesn't matter if you've already completed the campaign. If you're trying to find skulls, you have to start the individual level it's located on from the very beginning of the level--not at a rally point, etc.

Ahh gotcha, I'll give that a try and see how it works out. Thanks

 

[kittens]

I'm kind of a fiend for Territories, and Sandtrap and Last Resort are AMAZING for that game type, so they're my favorite. As someone who wasn't all that into Zanzibar in H2, Last Resort was a nice surprise. The little changes, like the walkway between the base and the "sniper base", make a vast difference.

Oh, and Oddball + Guardian = BAD ASS.

 

[Kritz]

This isn't to say it's my favourite, but the map I've had the most fun on is Sandtrap. I normally take to driving the elephant, for no other reason than it feels awesome. Once some team members spawn on it we normally go around in our party van and hit everyone else with turrets. CTF and Assault are so fun on those maps.

I think Snowbound is still my least-favourite map. Don't like the underground area, can't survive in the open area. Needs more cover.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Something about The Pit....it calls to me.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

I'm curious. What Look Sensitivity is everyone using?

 

[godhandiscen]

What was Jason Jones doing during Halo 3? Coke and hookers? His name is just in the special thanks, but that's it.

My guess is that Jason only worked on the preproduction fase of Halo 3 and left it up to the rest of Bungie to really craft the awesomeness of Halo 3. Most likely Jason is working on the Peter Jackson project, crafting the new Bungie IP or planning the Marathon remake (if there is a God, then this is what will come next).

 

[RSTEIN]

Actually, both teams spawn at the bottom of the map, and there are BRs at the bottom of the map, in addition to the top of the map, and there's a spawn zone up top in the sword room where teams frequently respawn, which generally disrupts the "control the top" strategy you're talking about right here. Additionally, there's a Brute Shot and a Spartan laser on the lower parts of the map, in addition to the aforementioned BRs, Missile Pod, Flamethrower and Fusion Coils.

Might sound good on paper but unfortunately this map turns out to be a nightmare most of the time.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

6.

Thinking of upping it to 7, though, as I've become used to 6 and it's starting to feel a little slow now I'm getting half decent at the game.

 

[HugBasket]

My file share page

There is a new, surprisingly good, version of Construct on there for 2v2s.

and some sexy missile pod kills.

I love bungie.net

5 sens.

Almost everything in his Bungie meet the staff profile is Classified. He might very well be working on something top secret.

 

[FFChris]

4, that's enough for me.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Jesus. I use 2. :lol

 

[mozfan12]

just finished campaign. Pretty much a Halo fanboys wet dream. I thought the overall campaign was great but the 8th mission is a fucking disaster. It literally pisses me off that they created such a convulated level, made worse by the fact that the campaign is made up of so many cool moments, specifically the last 10 minutes.

I guess I am a noob compared to you, but I am also not feeling that map. I dont know, it seems that with a very little testing Bungie could have realized that a team can just camp the teleporters and make the game unbearable. Very few people use the mic on Team Slayer so its really hard to organize a good attack. In short, I am not having fun with that map.

 

[traveler]

While it's not my favorite, I love Construct. I can't believe people hate it.

Favorite Map- probably Epitaph. I love shield doors, grav lifts, and good places for grenades, so it's a natural fit for me. High Ground or Valhalla would be a close second.

Least Favorite- not a big fan of Narrows.

I'm curious. What Look Sensitivity is everyone using?

4

My hands are naturally very shaky (HUGE problem in MP3: Corruption) so I can't handle high sensitivity at all. It's not something I'll eventually get over either; I had this problem all the way through 2. I might top out at 6.

 

[Ramirez]

Might sound good on paper but unfortunately this map turns out to be a nightmare most of the time.

We got it several times last night, and aside from the couple bad spawns in the sword room when we were in the next room, the map played good. But the sword room spawns to keep games from getting out of hand at times, so there are pros and cons.

 

[gray_fox224]

i use 8...sometimes 7

 

[gray_fox224]

oh and BTW, is Live Marketplace working for anyone? I want to browse it, but it's unavailable

Marathon remake? Am I the only one that wants Oni 2?

 

[FFChris]

Jesus. I use 2. :lol

There is an up and downside to both the high and low ones. At 2 you'll be more accurate but slow as hell turning around.

 

[Stahsky]

I'm curious. What Look Sensitivity is everyone using?

5, but I plan to move to 7 soon.

 

[Eric WK]

I'd much rather have a steady BR/Snipe than be fast in close quarters. If I'm playing well and controlling power weapons, I shouldn't be in frantic up close situations anyhow. I stick with 3.

 

[Drakken]

I actually like Isolation.

Haven't played the bigger maps yet, and I haven't played much of the smaller maps either, so I'm still kind of neutral about them. Construct is crazy with all the different levels, though. I imagine someone who knows it inside and out could do really well there with Oddball.

 

[Ramirez]

I've got mine on 4, and I'm pretty positive it's what has killed my ability to snipe effectively, I've always used 3, but I seem to be adjusting to it.

I too like Isolation from what I've played.


Also default sensitivity.

Dude...
:lol :lol :lol

 

[siamesedreamer]

My favorites are still Valhalla and High Point. Haven't played all of them though...

 

[Buttonbasher]

Apparently not.

 

[Eric WK]

Apparently not.

:lol

My favorites are Construct, Epitaph, Guardian and The Pit. I'm dying for a Midship remake, though.

 

[Mr Jared]

While it's not my favorite, I love Construct. I can't believe people hate it.

Seriously. It's a control map ... you either have it or you don't.

Favorite Map: The Pit. It has a very Counter-Strike feel to it that I enjoy.

Least Favorite: Isolation. Terrible spawns and a complete lack of cover make it a frustrating experience.

 

[Buttonbasher]

I don't really care for The Pit. I always get spawn killed.

 

[Belfast]

Been having some fun with multiplayer. Still suck at it, and generally hate playing with people I don't know.

Also need to find some people to co-op with.

 

[DD-11]

How does one view the meta game scores of other players or is this not possible?

nevermind, found it on the bungie pages.

 

[xir]

is there a leaderboard or anyway to check out other people's metagame scores?

You guys need to activate campaign scoring first by pressing X when selecting level.

 

[giga]

Guardian is so good but I rarely see it in TS.

 

[godhandiscen]

Marathon remake? Am I the only one that wants Oni 2?

I don't know if you are alone into that one, but Bungie doesnt own that IP anymore, so chances are it wont happen.

 

[MirageDwarf]

With help of ghost I unlocked "Killing Frenzy" achievement which I might never unlock in normal run and kill way.

I also finished first which will not happen again anytime soon. I know that.

 

[GeoNeo]

Has Bungie confirmed if there is more armor then what is listed as locked in the game?

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Am I the only person really wanting Bungie to separate Team Snipers and Team Slayer? Shotty Snipers is absolute ass and it comes up so damn often in Slayer.

 

[apocalidiot]

I just applied to the GAF group... my gamertag is Imploding Cats, if you're wondering who it was.

 

[ant1532]

I want one on ones or at least lone wolves with slayer only.
