I still think Onslaught is pretty good, especially the newer version with some added cover and the bottom area...but yea, every forge map I've ever played on has had way more spawning issues than the regular maps. Even Foundry is terrible for spawns...

Default Foundry? Oh yes.

I'm standing on the blue side bridge and shooting those in the back. All of a sudden one of their teammates spawns near me and I'm instantly dead. Wallah!

The layout of the default map is simply plain and boring as well.

Go to adobe's home page, you can download a trial for PS CS3. 30 days I believe. Surely they have a version for Mac...

Oh fuck that shit. It says product trials are unavailable until July 1st. Guess I'll have to wait.

Default Foundry has a decent layout. But it also has the worst spawns in the game. Even worse than High Ground. If those could be fixed, I'm sure it'd be a serviceable map.
 
Dax just use Gimp Shop it's free.

So what's everyones fastest time on their campaign runs for 7 billion kills?

I just did Crows Nest in 13 minutes with 180 kills. Turn on the Cowbell skull and charge through with the shotgun and you can do it pretty damn fast. I'm going to head back to do it again.

I like Foundry, and I think the default is a really decent map (probably because I do well on it). But yea, the spawns aren't great.

Figured I'd play some Lone Wolves this morning (I usually only play Halo with my friends, usually a nightly thing though) and one of the first games I got was BRs on Guardian. Not fun at all. I'm a fan of the Battle Rifle, but I'm not a fan of BR's as a mode. It's just not that fun. Especially when you get one of those MLG BR whores on the other team. Ruins it. And I don't think Guardian is a good map for BR's to begin with. Or even Lone Wolves. Ruined my Halo morning. Playing MGO and Shadowrun instead.

Really? I love BRs on Guardian. Its the only way to play that map in Team Slayer.

Psst... dude... that's every map...

Hence my question about patch 1.2! I'm hoping for a fix.

The spawning doesn't really bother me most of the time, but it can get extremely annoying in situations where teams are swapping over areas of the map constantly. Spawning into an enemy sprawing BR bullets at you = fail.

The spawns are broken for both teams, so I guess that evens the field. Still, i would prefer a spawn system when both teams feel the spawns were fair.

I remember throwing my controller at my TV a while ago. I am so glad I missed it.

Downloading now.
Edit: Fuck it.

Dax - here are a couple of decent alternatives to Photoshop on a Mac - neither one is free, but both are easier to install/use than GIMP. :D

Pixelmator ($59, cheaper if you buy it in a bundle)
Iris ($79)

If the problem with GIMP was that it was too hard to install (and not that it was too hard to use), you might want to try the packages here:

Wilbur-loves-Apple

(If the problem was that it was too hard to use, never mind.)
 
Does anyone know if we are on pace to hit the 7 bil mark?

We are currently at:

But I don't know what we were at yesterday to see if we are on pace...

If anyone has the numbers for yesterday, we can figure is out or wait a bit I guess..

I am pretty sure yesterday was at 6.72 billion.
 
No, we've been needing to hit about 18mil a day, and we've only hit 14mil every day so far, so we're slowly slipping behind. I think yesterday we hit 14mil again, and we needed 20mil to make up for the previous days.

We need slightly above ~19 million per day if we are to reach that goal, as of today.

Yeah. I've been tossing numbers in a spreadsheet periodically. We're doing about 15m per day since Luke's post on b.net, when we needed 17.5m. I'm hoping the weekend has a higher total than weekdays.

Also, his figure was until the start of Bungie Day. That still leaves time to cross the mark on Bungie Day, if things are running behind. I think that might end up being the case.

It would be cool if we could get some exposure on xbox.com to help the cause. Like one of the "All Nighter" events.

I don't know who pays attention to those things, but that would be pretty cool. If this thing does happen, it'll be the little things like that that have added up.

I'm trying :( . Will do some more tonight.

I think some exposure to major game sites or blogs would help. We are about 50 million over what we originally started at.
 
Any price cuts we hear about before E3 is just rumors. They probably have the price cuts all ready to go if someone else drops their price to. It's like a console cold war.

It works really well on some maps, but falls apart on others. It's very hit and miss but I defiantly would still give it a try. The novelty kinda wears off around the fourth game or so but it's still a neat idea.

Bungie Day is only 11 days away. We know some good stuff is happening then. E3 is next, though Bungie hasn't teased about it. And we know PAX is going to be epic.

Did you guys see Ramirez got front page of HBO?

I made a post on MLGpro.com and everyone agrees but a MLG moderator.

Yeah be careful around there, my friend and I made that Tsquared got owned by me video and it got featured and everyone had a quick laugh about it. A few days later it got removed from the featured list (before new videos took it's place) and the GameRoom Discussion thread was deleted and my friend, xAxShadow on the site, was given a warning on his account. It was obviously just a playful video, wtf?
