For the GAF nights,I'll try to figure out a day and time that's best for everyone.

Added. I won't be online much for the rest of the month but I'll be in vacation most of January so I'll be glad to help. :D
 
Hey Guys, I created Foundation from Halo 2 on Forge, here is my FILE SHARE. If you use the gametype that comes along with it, you will have the Halo 2 SMG starts along with the normal weapons from the map such as rockets and shotguns. I went back to Halo 2 and took a good look at Foundation so that this remake can be as realistic as possible. Thoughts?

There you can find my Foundation map, walkthrough, and game settings.

I suggest anyone who joins and whose Gamer Tag does not match their GAF handle put their handle in their Live profile so we can tell who is who. I joined.

Your map is awesome, dude. Well deserved.

TOP MEN

I don't care what those AJ guys say about you, Luke, you really are good to us.
 
Looks like I'm missing out on this gigantic Forge-fest that's sweeping the GAF Halo'ers. Unfortunately, I'm in Cairo as I type this, so hopefully when I get back home I'll get some time in for making maps. I haven't played Halo in such a long time, with the backlog of Mario Galaxy and Mass Effect, along with the fact that I lent my 360 to a friend for a good while. So yeah, if I haven't been answering any messages, it's probably him.

On a different note, Standoff and Foundry look really fun.
 
SpudBud said:
Nice!

Also, If you send a friend request for the clan and I don't recognize the name I will not except. So please let me know your GAF name, thanks.

SpudBud, I'm not known here on GAF yet, but I'm sending a request. Hopefully I'll be accepted into the fold.

I compiled the forge creations from this thread into a dedicated thread. If I missed something or misrepresented the specifics of your map (there was some guesswork going on), let me know. I started by just posting mine, but figured I'd go ahead and get everyone's in there despite the mistakes that'll inevitably creap in.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=9032303#post9032303

Good work! I did post a link to my race track map but i cant find it now and im too drunk to care. I didnt realize there were so many maps built already! Forge = Win

Alright folks, So far we have 20 members. Also, I was thinking about Friday nights at 9:30pm for GAF nights, but I not sure where that leaves are Euro GAFFERS. If anyone has any suggestions PM me.
 
I will definitely join when I get a chance.

I'm playing the campaign solo right now, on Legendary, with Catch, Tough Luck, and Fog on to get the scoring achievements. And it is fucking awesome. Some of the most fun I have ever had with a game. That bit in Tsavo Highway where brutes keep getting dropped off and then a Wraith arrives? Amazing. There was just this hail of spike grenades and fuel rod blasts coming from the bottom of the hill and me sitting in the bunker with a half-empty plasma pistol swearing at the screen.

Who are the AJ guys and am I one of them? I wanted to take this opportunity to recant my previous comments about Luke. As it turns out, he is pretty okay. I even wrote a short poem. CHECK IT OUT!!!

I tried to be smart, but misplayed the part,
and Lukems sent me away.
Then I was distant, sad and alone,
Wondering if he'd forgive me some day.
It turns out he did. Now I'm happy as a squid,
Squirting ink to the sound of "everything's okay.":D
 
Deputy Moonman said:

You're definitely not.

That dialog the other day has been rectified, so there's no need to make comments like that urk, particularly when nothing said involved you. At any rate, I think that officially wraps up all the time I've wanted to invest in GAF, particularly since I'm permanently logging off of XBL in the next few days. Later folks.
 
AJ? Voc leaving forever? What the hell is going on? Us Halo 3-GAFers are like soap opera characters. Someone fill me in. If no one does, I'll just bother you all with PMs.

Spud, I'll join the group as soon as I can.

LASTLY: Can someone fill me in? If the Shotty on Snowbound has been replaced by a Beam Rifle in Team Hardcore, what replaces the former Beam Rifle area, in the base?

Same here. I want to know what this is all about.
 
AJ is a small Halo-focused online community, consisting of - wait for it - hardcore Halo fans. Lots of guys from there post here, and vice-versa. I was a member there for a while this year but left when I pared back the forums I post on to just GAF (I left three others as well). Not sure what the tension is between the two but there seems to be some kind of drama there which has carried over to here.
 
Tieno said:

This one goes all the way to the top. I wouldn't go rooting around if I were you. This is your first and final warning.
 
Actually, I have no clue what's going on. Par for the course. I'm going to jump on and play some Halo though later if anyone wants to play some games.

Got a cousin to lug down his 360 today, we hooked both to my router and rocked hard with some lovely lagless lan games and online with two other friends who were not at my place, 6 of us in total.

Game is so fun with foundry being 90% of the games we played, custom maps and edits that were just stupid (floating warthogs) :lol

What's so funny?

...

There's no drama folks, urk and I are friends - so this isn't drama, nor is what he's referring to.

I'm leaving XBL because I want to spend more time with my family. Nothing personal and it's not anything to warrant hoopla. If any of you folks are ever in Orlando and want to meet-up for some Halo, look me up.

I asked this on the Halo 3 Bungie forums but didn't get a conclusive answer...

Am I able to buy the map pack and play it over system link?

Or do I have to buy the map pack TWICE?

I've heard that I have to sign in on the other console and download it with my GT that purchased it, and I would be able to download it to the second console, but I have to remain signed in to play it. But, wouldn't that mean I would need to be signed into both to play it? Would that be allowed or would it kick me off one of them?

Thanks in advance!

I believe each console needs to have a puchased copy of the map pack on it. Louis Wu was lamenting this exact scenario on the HBO forums.

Thanks for the quick response! That's unfortunate.

If these map packs were $5, I wouldn't mind buying it twice. hint hint wink wink Christmas price drop sounds like a good idea maybe?

Unfortunately none of my friends bought it because they thought $10 was too much. If they did I suppose they could just bring their HDD over and we'd have no probs.

They'll be free next year.

Right now I'm kinda just fuckin' around with a dude and his wacky gametype.

edit: and by wacky, I mean lame. :(

Are you leaving GAF as well?

I hope you stick around, I enjoy reading your posts.

Yeah, I've heard next spring. But it's not that often where I get to have 16 players over for a LAN party. Usually 2-4 times a year. These new maps look awesome and I think they would have been a blast (especially the Forge friendly one).

What's dissappointing too is that CoD4 doesn't support split screen + LAN play. That would have been great too!

I hear you. It's pretty lame considering previous entries had split-screen in. Super lame weaksauceness total.

this is a HUGE disappointment. So essentially if I want to enjoy a good LAN game of CoD4 I need 8 TVs and 8 360s with 8 copies of CoD4.

If games looked like Halo 3 and supported 4 player split screen, i'd be more than happy.
