There's something odd about this account. Look under the campaign records. There is a level in there called Halo(A). The enemy kill count looks completely screwed up.
There are a handful of Flood kills but a large amount of Sentinel kills.

I'm two achievements away from 1000/1000. Triple Kill with the Sword and Overkill. I've spent so much time in FFA trying to get all of these (since for some reason, you can only get them in that one playlist) that I'm now a 42. With the people I'm playing with now, these achievements are practically impossible. : (DoctorWho said:

Ugh, I'm not liking the Team Slayer Ranked playlist too much. Out of the 79 Ranked matches I've played the Guardian map only came up once. I haven't even played Sandtrap or Epitaph, are they even in the playlist? It's either Narrows, Isolation, Snowbound, or The Pit, most of the time. And over 1/2 the time it's shotty/snipers. I like most of the maps, but I can't wait for some new ones already just so there is more variety.

sometimes when im watching a replay and i try to record a clip/ take it screen it does not work... does anyone know why?
You can't do clips in Campaign, but if you're talking MP, I'm not sure.hotsauceiswack said:
Also, my two-step process to taking down a Chieftain on Legendary.
Okay, this only blew his armor off. A few moments later, a shotty blast took him out. But I liked the image of being utterly scewed. Fights with these guys are nuts on Legendary.

Ugh, had a shitty multiplayer day and had my first DNF (I shouldn't have but I was almost in a rage...).
God I wish there was a filter system or some kind of server list.

Also, if you're using anything other than the default control scheme, it's mapped to functions, not buttons, so it's jump + crouch + reload left + reload right + (whatever direction on the dpad it was, i can't remember offhand), so that's LB + left stick + A + B + the dpad for Bumper Jumper, as an example.Thermite said:
BTW, if you guys think shotty snipers coming up so often sucks, try it from Europe with a US host
Two things. One. My connection is finally working as it should, which makes me ever so giddy. It's fucking ace to win a game of swords. Do like. Lots. Two. I hate Jackal snipers. I'm playing by myself on Heroic, and I can't even get past the final encounter on Sierra 117. I have a Needler and an Assault Rifle, and I just keep getting raped by the Jackals. Or bum rushed by Grunts. Or I take a Brute Shot to the face. DO NOT WANT.
I take back what I said earlier about my least favorite map; Narrows is actually pretty good with the right modes. It's definitely not meant for free-for-all slayer, but anything team oriented- and especially objective based- is actually pretty dern fun. Snowbound, on the other hand, seems to devolve into a fight for the shotty room every single match. Team A takes possession of the room; team B storms in from every entrance and kills them. Team A returns from every entrance and kills them. Rinse, repeat. Narrows > Snowbound
WOOOOO beat Legendary on my own tonight. It was pretty easy compared to Halo 2's Legendary since I never got past half way of the first stage. One of the best experiences ever; the hardest mode made me explore places I never would have on easier modes.
I noticed on the credits that Frankie wrote "Heyguyswhatsgoingoninthisthread" or something like that :lol Way to waste your opportunity to write something meaningful in what could be the biggest game of the decade
At least it wasn't generic like "I'd like to thank my wife for being there" etc etc.

None. It's only available under Custom Games (Yeah, I know, that's gay. I really wish it was in MM)

I was speaking more about Big Team Battle. There's already a Team Slayer playlist and yet people come into BTB and veto everything BUT Team Slayer.
I'd rather have Slayer games and Objective games kept separate personally instead of being mixed in the same playlists.

Finally beat it.
That last level was hilarious. I was having fun, but I didn't know what the hell I was
I saw the after credits scene, then went online to see the Legendary ending.
Get ready for a sequel in some from or fashion.
Also I want to say that the Elites are my favorite thing about the series. I find them much more interesting than anyone else in the game.

driving on :lol. But I gotta say, it wasn't as fun as the Pillar of Autumn run.

Just finished on Heroic single player (my first play through), and it was awesome. The ending was great. I have to wonder how many will not watch all the way through the credits, it would be a shame if many didn't, because the ending doesn't really work that well without the final scene.
I really enjoy the saved film mode, even in campaign. It may help out if I ever decide to tackle Legendary. Is this the first time this has been included in a game? It's very interesting to fly around the space as the game (replay) is happening. And taking pictures is addicting.
The game also felt a little more coherent from level to level. Maybe it was just my personal state of mind I was in compared to the other two. Great variety of environments, new weapons, equipment. It all added up to something that actually met my hopes/expecations.
That hammer was just too damn fun to use. I kept calling it the BAN HAMMER for some reason.
All in all maybe my favorite of the three Halos. Good job Bungie.
I didn't know if there was going to be anything after the credits, and I was thinking the end didn't make any sense because we don't see Master Chief killed.

Is anyone else receiving EXP penalties they dont think they should be getting. I am now at -3 and have never quit in the middle of a game. There was once that I got disconnected from everyone but one person on the other team in a team slayer. After three or four minuets it dumped us back to matchmaking. That would suck if they penalize us for server errors.

Tell me about it. I skipped on the "love, bungie" screen the first time and I was kinda pissed that I'd busted my hump to get MC out of there and he'd just gotten himself killed without even having the balls to show it on screen. Then the after-credits scene came along and there was much "whew"ing.
I had an AMAZING day of Halo today. I gained about ~20 EXP, becoming a Lieutenant in the process, got the killing frenzy FFA achievement (one of the ones I've been dreading getting the most), and just generally found it almost harder to LOSE matches than to win 
Halo is just like that some days. Some days I'll feel like throwing my controller into the TV because like TEN FUCKING TIMES IN A ROW I'll be in a shotgun battle, and we both pull the trigger and I die, not them. But TODAY was the opposite. It seemed like I could do no wrong.
I won EVERY 1v1 encounter. I would frequently be cloaked and have the map's super weapon in Lone Wolf matches. I just won, and won, and won
I'm almost scared now, because I just KNOW that tomorrow is going to be another one of those awful nights, to balance out my amazing play, today.
I played 11 Lone Wolves matches in a row, and won 5 of them, and placed high enough to earn an EXP point in 9 of them

One more thing: Infection where the zombies have shotguns and run almost as fast as a Mongoose fucking sucks. Especially because those that have to be infected, only have a pistol and a sword. Geez, that sounds like fun!

A skill of 46 will do that to you.
(I'll be happy if I can ever get to 30)Edit: Firestorm, highest level means the highest skill level you have attained yet, since there's a different skill level for every playlist as well as the ability to actually go down in skill.
