I LOVE the Plasma Rifle in Halo 1, it's actually useful. Alien weapons take out shields, human weapons take out health. Alien weapons, such as the Plasma Rifle, also have a stun effect... which was awesome :p

Not saying he isn't right just kinda being an ass to people. I am in the camp of if the achievements are real they prob aren't final, I also doubt there will be 750 points.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT IT'S NOT HAPPENING.

:P
 
Man, I had no idea that this many people still cared about achievements. I'm disgusted to think that all this time I've been posting alongside achievement sluts.

I'm sorry, but the "liberal map movement" ideas simply don't work for Halo. Never have, never will. You all need to get over it, vote for skill, vote for BR. It's time to bring change to Halo 3.

Liez.

MA5B = Conservative
MA5C = Neoconservative

BR is more Liberal than the AR.

Nuh uh. Spray and pray liberals, spray and pray liberals.

BR has strong conservative shooting values, though the party has strayed from its' tight conservative base on the issue of spread size. :(

In fear of causing GD to spiral into some sort of conniption fit I say we change the topic.

Everyone should turn on their 360s and check the Red vs. Blue Rock the Vote vids. You can find them on Inside Xbox.

Here's links to the videos. Hilarious 1 Hilarious 2

OMG, I laughed so hard at the 2nd one I nearly choked on my soda.:lol

Good thing I'm registered to vote.

Anyways guys I decided to upload my photos from my Seattle trip to PAX.

There are over 300 photos, not all good I admit, and resolution is 640x480 for size reasons.

I'll have you know that the AR family has been conservative for years longer than the BRs. The only ties the BRs hold to the Conservative movement is with the long-estranged Magnum family, who have in recent times reformed and have moved further away from the liberal movement.

You got this all mixed up. See, although the Pistol Party now lies in the graveyard of dormant spawn weapons, the ideas of the Pistol Party have lived on through the conservatively-shooting BR Party, though the puzzling success of the liberal spray-and-prays in the AR Party has led to the BR Party moving left on some key issues such as spread size. That's the deal.

IMO the Magnum now stands as the cornerstone figure of the BR party. The BR has swayed left with its spread leading to a swiping spray and pray view in key issues that more closely reflect that of the AR party. Furthermore its just too hard to discuss simple two party systems nowadays when threatening third parties are no longer seen as just pissing away a vote. The Ralph Needler campaign does present several interesting viewpoints and should not be spoken of lightly.

Ah, but the ideals of the ARs cannot be considered liberal if they were present at the very beginning.

Hmm.

Perhaps both the ARs and the Magnums were two conservative families at opposite sides of the spectrum of issues. The Magnums spawned the neoconservative BR movement before moving further into the AR family's end of the spectrum. The AR Party dissolved into the SMGs for years before rising again. The MA5Cs and new SMGs are thus neoconservative offspring off the original AR party. As the Magnum was chronologically just as conservative as everything else in the beginning, the BRs could be seen as a neoconservative party along with the others.

So basically everybody's neoconservatives.

Maybe the Brute family of weapons are the true liberals in this?

Sweet, nice to see those from another perspective. I'll let you know if I find one I want full rez on.

What you're really missing in that pic is Trasher cleaning Walshy's balls with his mouth.

Clearly a WTF moment if there ever was one.
 
To briefly interrupt this Team Jesus battle royale, I'll drop these images...

Although I know it's been out for a while now, Cocop just showed me how to get into Shadow of Intent's bridge. I went back with a camera a bit later and here are some of the shots I found. These could be picture thread material, but since they're not simply screenshots of an event, but rather a campaign environment, I thought they might do well here.













The amount of detail they put into this environment is absolutely stunning. Whether it be the HDR lighting, real-time environment shadows or the excellent textures, I find it remarkable that someone spent so much time on a set which was never used for campaign outside a cinematic.

Or was it?
 
Where are those pics from Voc? I dont ever remember going through those halls in the game.


Edit. : N/m Voc answered before i could post my question :p
 
First 3 Ball game... The Pit loads up. We get one of the balls first for about 30 seconds. I manage to get another ball from another team for a few seconds. We lose both balls and when I respawn I find both the other teams in the upper spawning area after climbing on their buddies... Excellent.

So wait, there's a place on the Pit were someone can camp and no one can get to them?!?

I hope Bungie plans to fix that in this month's AU.

The Assault Carrier and Flagship of the last Sangheili Fleet, Shadow of Intent, its bridge to be exact. You see it only in Halo 3's cinematics (for the most part).

Well... until you see it trashed, in Cortana. :lol

Would anyone here be interested if I started working on my Quarantine maps again?

I only ask because I remember a few of you asking me before. I kinda starting going back over the maps I worked on before and reworking them from scratch (from a Canvas map). I'm going to use the main ideas I had for each map, but change them up for the better as I've noticed several things that I would have liked to do better, including making it fair as much as possible for each team. This only includes the maps though not the gametype.

Should I bring back that old topic listed above or create a new one with the re-worked maps with new screens (provide I get some real testing in)?
 
Sir Fragula said:
Huh? I thought Shadow of Intent survives. The Arbiter leaves on it after credits, doesn't he?
Correct. But for some reason, Cortana, which is on High Charity, has an area that is identical (for the most part) to the bridge of an Assault Carrier.
 
On another note, I am going to switch to Bumper Jumper. I am playing through campaign on Legendary to get started. Did the first level last night. Starting to get the hang of it.

Correct! ;-)

Sir Fragula said:

The flagship assault carrier does indeed survive to the end of Halo 3, but I think Wu was simply stating that the space (the layout and geometry) you see there is actually in "Cortana," torn to pieces and covered in Flood membrane. This isn't entirely surprising because there were likely to be at least one, if not more, assault carriers still within the walls of High Charity. One might ask, however, why we were shown the inside of a ship in "Cortana" at a time when the level should have been entirely on High Charity itself. The point though is that Bungie's dedication to detail is something hard to come by these days and something which is really pronounced when you see spaces like this, fully-fleshed out, but never specifically realized in-game.

You may have beaten me to the punch, but my answer is more detailed so there.

His forum signature is
Where are you, Edge?

--Azel
His motto is also that as well as well, but without the Azel. The main question is: Was it like that before or has it been changedz?
