Still looking for someone to play legendary coop with. I can do 1 hours worth tonight and finish the rest tomorrow after 3:30pm EST (when I get done with class for the day).

GT: SonnyCheeba4 (be sure to mention the coop if you add me)

 

[StriKeVillain]

So is there an ETA on the Halo 3 soundtrack? I can't wait to listen to it.

Also does anyone have the security helmet and if so how did you get it?

Hmm I have already done the first level and I have everything there. Maybe tomorrow when you are in the later levels.

Sent you an invite Guito. I basically have the same schedule except I have a 3.40-4.30 class tomorrow and that's it.

One thing that really pisses me off is the fact that they put another spawn only room in the Pit, did we learn absolutely nothing from Terminal? I mean really.

Soundtrack is finishing up according to bungie podcast

Security Helmet You need all achievements.

Sounds great! Halo 3 OST + Radiohead = perfect Holiday season!

 

[Uno Ill Nino]

God damn you, GAF. It WAS just another Blind Skull. I had to go to GameFAQS to get confirmation, and I got rickrolled for my trouble. You losers let me down this time. I'm a sad panda.

 

[IJoel]

What the devil!? I can't, for the life of me, get the skull on level 4. I've tried grenade jumping (obviously I'm utterly deficient at this), and using the warthog as a platform to no avail. I wasted the past hour doing this.

Using the warthog worked for me and make sure not to destroy the wraiths. I did that and the skull disappeared.

I don't like how it has to be on Lone Wolves for most of those either. I usually play team games. But I do understand Bungie's way of thinking. People were annoyed by Gears of War teammates doing stupid things during ranked team games so they could earn achievements. This is a way of making it so people don't get a bunch of friends in a Social map and cheat their way through while making sure that people don't screw up the team by doing stupid things like grabbing Needlers for the achievement.

Why not put it in any ranked playlist? You can't boost the achievements there, and if you have some asshat on your team just playing to get achievements, kick him. It's not like Gears where you can't choose your teammates.

And there are very few weapon based achievements, most people get the needler one in campaign. I don't see how anyone on you team trying to get a killing frenzy or overkill ruins it for the other teams (also, it's harder to get an overkill in Team Slayer, as you have to take out a whole team that is working together against you, not 4 guys running around shooting at each other).

Grab a ghost and move the green dumpster that's right where you come out (look left and you should see it) over to the silo. Get a buddy or two and play co-op and let them get the wraiths to focus on them.

Using the warthog worked for me and make sure not to destroy the wraiths. I did that and the skull disappeared.

I monkeyed about with a warthog for frigging ages as retarded marines got on the 50cal and shot at the wraith who promptly blew my shit up. Then I spent some time driving the warthog off the cliff to watch those same marines die. Then I shot them a bit.

Then I said fuck it, stood on a ghost and grenade jumped my way to skull-glory. Frog blast the mother fucking vent core.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

God I love older PBFs.

 

[dralla]

I got all 7 terminals but no achievment. I got some of them on Legendary and some on Heroic, does that matter?

There is another warthog, overturned, a transport one that you can use and the marines don't bother with it.

Yea, I think that's the problem. Did you do this on one play-through? Just changing the difficulties? If you did, then I don't know.

If this was done on two play-throughs though, then yea, that matters.

Same difficulty dude, also all of them without saving.

 

[h3ro]

Guys, if I play the single player in Co-op mode with a friend, will the skulls we find count for both of our games? Meaning if I unlock all the skulls while playing online coop then will both my friend and I have the armors unlocked?

 

[GodfatherX]

would like to add you have to let it turn red and then go to another yellow hex for them to count

What are you playing and what is your rank?

 

[Sean]

I beat Sierra 117 with little problems but tried Crows Nest on Legendary (with 5 skulls, 2 gold and 3 silver) and I'm getting my ass handed to me in that one room with all the brutes. There must be like 15 of em in there, geez.

I kill em all but run out of ammo and the Chieftan/hammer guy owns me every time

 

[zam]

Rank or skill level (military insignia or number)? And as Dr Who said, what rank/level are you and what playlist are you playing?

 

[Firestorm]

My icon is a unicorn.

"Is that a fucking unicorn?"
"God what a homo"
"Seriously how gay are you?"
After winning 15-10..
"Whose the fucking homo now, bitches? I'm pretty sure you just sucked my magical unicorn dick."

I love XBL

I'm a cliche kind of guy and have a Triforce:

What's up with the player snapshots on bungie.net? Hasn't worked for me in ages and I can't see any other players snapshots either, just the Halo 3 logo..

 

[ToyMachine228]

My roommate and I figured out the best skull combination for our Meta-Game run...Were on the final battle with over 10K, two skulls active, and a 2.5 multiplier left. We were literally a couple kills from the end of the mission, and our shitty internet cut out...GOD DAMNIT

Which skulls?

 

[Buttonbasher]

Epitaph. Power Drainer. Grav Lift. Double Kill. Awesome.

 

[zam]

Usually roll with Famine, Fog, Thunderstorm, Catch and Tough Luck. 4-players on Legendary and we still ran right through, got all the campaign scoring achievements except the last level (though everyone except me got that one).

Those skulls and normal and the campaign scoring achievements are a breeze.

 

[MaX_PL]

im 22 in team slayer.

i think its cause we have a mixed party. regardless though, we didnt level up at all in 15 wins.

Linksys WRT54G Router Problem Resolved

Most of you probably already know, but for idiots like me with the moderate NAT and just figured out the solution, go upgrade your Firmware, it fixes it!! Make sure it's correct model and version!

Linksys support firmware

SOOOO HAPPY!!!

 

[Vyse The Legend]

So Hello? Bungie? Luke? Somebody? Is that 2nd skull in "Cortana" really just another "Blind" skull? I haven't been home to try getting it yet but that sounds retarded that a skull that is so hard to reach would just be a duplicate of one that you practically trip on in the 1st level.

Can't believe nobody has checked in on this yet! Do I really need to go to GameFAQS? You let me down, GAF!

It is another Blind skull. It has been confirmed already.

I just used a 3rd party firmware, and it made my Linksys router not suck anymore.

 

[IJoel]

No luck with that 4th skull. I continued my legendary run, and was able to get the Famine skull on level 6, which I thought would be more difficult (got super lucky with a grenade jump though).

Curses... Will try the suggestions later when I'm done with the game on legendary.

So is there a skull that an interesting effect or do they all make the game harder?

Yup, I put DD-WRT on mine. Excellent firmware and my NAT has been fine with Xbox Live.

Grunt Birthday Party skull makes all the grunts explode confetti like a pinata when they are killed. There is even an audio of a bunch of children screaming "yay!" :lol

 

[DeadCell]

Just finished my first Forge map not too long ago. It's designed for Infection if anyone wants to try it out and let me know what needs changing and such. I still have yet to actually PLAY a game of Infection, so I might have the idea for the map all wrong.

Anyways, it takes place on High Ground (which I renamed Quarantine Zone). The infected spawn on the beach and the uninfected spawn in the base. Human weapons are the only ones you'll find on the map aside from the swords left by the fallen infected. As far as power weapons are concerned you'll find 1 RL, 1 Spartan Laser, 1 Flamethrower, 2 Turrets, and 1 Sniper Rifle (which is located down by the beach, so you'll have to work for it).

Let me know what you think guys.

My file share.

Silver skulls have 'interesting' effects.

Wow, you guys see the new Bungie.net medal ? It's called Linktacular and the way you get it is by playing a matchmade game with every user being a Bungie.net user. What are the odds of that ? :lol

 

[Deleted member 21120]

There are all sorts of skulls. Some give the enemies more health, or cause them to throw more grenades, and one causes Grunts heads to explode with confetti, accompanied by the "hooray!"ing of children. And another one switches the dialogue ration of common and rare dialogue, so you hear rare dialogue the most.

Edit: Beaten. Hard.

I'm looking forward to different types of infection. The thing is that most of the maps are wide open with barely any rooms to lock yourself in. It's so boring to just run around stabbing each other. Did you use crates to lock the attackers out? High Ground would be a lot of fun because of the tower with the SL. I would love to test it out and give some feedback.

 

[Eric WK]

Are buying a 360 and returning it when your's arrives? I have a friend who is doing that, tell me if it works. I can't live with only one.

Not exactly. Let's just say Wal-Mart now has my near-launch unit with an overheated GPU and I have a brand new HDMI-enabled 360. I think your friend will be fine, but I'm not sure what their return versus exchange policy is exactly.
