SPARTAN VS BRUTE CHIEFTAN ON MY GAME SHELF YES!

I feel sorry for my Halo 2 spartan, lacks detail and has signs of old age (his knees won't hold anymore)

Agreed.

*glances at Legendary Edition helmet*

....well, the Chieftain and Master Chief might be cool....

Yeah, I do have the helmet also.

Still, what do you do with it? It's a tiny, overpriced piece of plastic. To people move them around and pretend it's a battle? Do they talk to them? I don't understand this.

Dunno. Probably the same thing I did with my helmet. I have a shelf devoted to gaming stuff (books, magazines, helmets), so they would probably just get parked there. I have literally zero action figures, but I kind of want a couple of these.

Because they look neat. Dunno.

Also, how much are they? I have no idea.

I have 2 helmets and I love the one in the living room. People always ask about it and my responses have never been nerdy. The one that freaks out people is the one next to my bed.

They're pretty cheap, surprisingly. According to Toywiz they ship sometime in March, and a majority of them will only be $14.99.

I'm totally getting the Brute Chieftain. It will stand tall next to my Big Daddy figurine. :P

The fact that anyone would waste their money on that shit is baffling to me.

I have a master chied and leon from resident evil guarding my game shelf, once you pose them and find a good spot they look pretty good filling up empty space.
 
Why did the boot betrayers options not make it back for Halo 3? I got team killed in two games and I have no idea why. It wasn't accidental either. The first I had just gotten an overkill with a turret, and then some douchebag on my team walked up and killed me. The other the jackass killed me when I had the bomb in a neutral assault game. What's leaving a review going to do? :lol

Booting betrayers is in. Depends on the playlist and frequency.

Also, standbyers get banned much faster than before.
 
Why must the mp framerate (not lag) suck so much for me? Going from mp to Sierra 117 is like going from.......*insert comparison of something smooth to something not so smooth here*....

sad face

I've booted several people. Mostly griefers.

I hope I didn't miss something obvious, but how do you boot people? In Halo 2 the option came up. Do you have to select the player list menu like you do to mute people or does the menu still come up?

I believe you have to the the host, and someone has to betray you. I then get the same option as in Halo 2, to boot them with X. At least, that's been what happened each of the times I've done so. (I only boot deliberate griefers.)

Side note, while I wait for the next game to load: I aprove of whoever made it so the Chopper's cannons can knock over and roll a Warthog. Over, and over, and over and BOOM.

Thank you. I don't usually get team killed anyway but it's good to know.
 
Wooooooooooooooooo!!!!

I've been having a really uneven time in BTB lately, so having a ranked option is a godsend. Last night was particularly bad, with a crushing defeat (I asked the team part way through, "have any of you played Halo before? Get in the vehicles!") to lopsided victory in the span of two games. I'm hoping this results in something more even once I've ranked up a bit.

This week, Ranked Big Team Battle arrives in Halo 3’s matchmaking playlists. This playlist is an eight versus eight playlist with a focus on Slayer and objective games. Like Halo 2's Big Team Battle, there is a tilt toward Slayer gametypes.

Here’s a quick and dirty breakdown of what gametypes, maps and rules have been incorporated into the first release of Ranked Big Team Battle.

Primary Weapon: Battle Rifle
Secondary Weapon: Assault Rifle

Gametypes: Team Slayer, Multi Flag CTF, One Flag CTF, Neutral Bomb Assault, One Bomb Assault, Territories

Maps: Last Resort, Standoff, Valhalla, Valhalla Covies, Rat’s Nest, Sandtrap, Sandtrap Covies

This hopper is live now.

Thanks Ghaleon. Sounds like an old veteran's wet dream. Can't wait to try it out.





PS I hope the Territories is old-school Land Grab. Not a huge fan of the rounds structure.
 
Striker said:
Excellent news regarding BTB.

I hope they tilt the weight towards objectives, though.

CTF/Assault > Slayer

Agreed, though even I have learned to enjoy Slayer in BTB quite a bit. Slayer with 16 on Sandtrap is such a hoot.

Is there a chart listing what kinds of matches are on each map?

For example:

Sandtrap: Multi-flag, Multi-Bomb, Neutral Assault, Territories, Slayer

I'm sure they could do all those on Valhalla and Rat's Nest. Last Resort and Standoff could be good for Slayer and Territories.
