I need to get better at screenshotting... but hey, it's fun even with bad pics.

Score is 2-2, Valhalla MultiFlag, and one of our teammates just got lasered jumping out of Blue's mancannon. The flag made it to the center... but it was sort of surrounded by... oh, pretty much the whole Blue team.

Hmm... two guys, but only one's looking. Maybe I can get that flag.

Ah, crap. Now they're BOTH shooting at me. Guess I'm not getting too far.

Awesome! My team took him out.

And the other one, too!

Uh oh... laser guy!

He missed, teammates got him... but gotta watch the hog!

He's still on me!

I should just stop worrying. They got HIM, too.

From this point on, it was a cakewalk. Every time a bad guy came over the hill, someone sniped him, or beat him down, or lasered him. Nobody came to pick me up... but nobody needed to; I got my exercise, jogging back to the base, and the score finished the game.

I'm not sure it comes through in the pics... but what was amazing was that I was pretty sure I'd get 3 steps and die, and I picked it up anyway... and I just kept not dying. Carnage ALL around me, people dying, lasers blasting, hogs splattering... but nothing got ME.
 
Is everything still scheduled for the 16th?

edit: "TU2 will not come out on Sept. 16th and previously stated. It will come out sometime after Sept. 16th and before September 25th –"

RAAGEE!! RAAAGGEEE!!!!
 
Well it was recorded before PAX so probably not.

TU2 will not come out on Sept. 16th and previously stated. It will come out sometime after Sept. 16th and before September 25th – when we finish the 64-man roshambo tournament to decide the release date, we'll let you know.

Bungie said:
Last week, we mentioned some of the “Peace of Mind” changes that were coming to TU2, one of them being a new type of ban. The grin that crossed Shishka’s lips when the Database Wizards told him about the spell was almost Grinchian. This ban will completely eject you from Halo 3 online multiplayer. You’ll be able to play Campaign co-op, but you will not be able to take part in Matchmaking of any variety and you’ll be banned from playing custom games over Xbox Live. That means no more sitting in lobbies chalk full of jerks recounting about how sweet it was when you boosted your way to 50 or how hilarious your Overkill was when you lagged out those “newbs” in Team Slayer.

For special folks – not the kind of special that your Mammy always said you were, the kind of “why did you lick that steel pole it’s Winter” special – we’ll be retroactively applying this ban to their accounts. You see, dear reader, whenever the Banhammer strikes, records are kept and those records are sortable, viewable and actionable en masse. M-Dub and the Wolf take great pride in the numerical sorting of massive amounts of data while Shishka languishes softly on a waterbed of e-tears.

Here I was thinking it was a full-blown reveal of Bugnie's next game.

A golf game with a roster entirely comprised of Bungie employees.

I suppose I should tell Kotaku to cancel their article now. Disappointed.
 
I find it hard to get excited about anything when nothing is being shown. Seriously, I hope they release this stuff soon because once Gears 2 comes out, the amount of Halo 3 players will drop significantly.

New achievements, new maps, and updates are coming...before Gears 2 comes out.

There's no rush, go outside, meet a girl do something else in the mean time.

Good news about the new banning awesomeness. There should be a public stoning list on Bnet, for added affectiveness.

"Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold. For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you. So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will then be powerless to vex your mind."
- Leonardo Da Vinci
 
Fun few games there, pity everyone left. I'll be floating around more social fun if anyone wants to join, GT Slightly Dark, send invite or whatever.

Podcast was awesome, moar!
 
Really great games tonite. I think we only lost like 3 out of 16 (Numbers owning us brought shame to our party :lol ), and I started going huge in a few games which felt awesome.

And fellas, try to keep matchmaking in the thread to a minimum. At least sprinkle some BS general Halo talk in there.
