What they need to do is either follow the structure of covies: That is, each base has rockets and in the middle is the lazer or they need to dramatically cut down the respawn times of the lazers and pimp up the rockets.

seriously, just add more rockets. they are the cool persons weapon, lazer is for scrubs.

I remember when it used to take skill to take down a vehicle in Halo 1 with rockets. Laser and missile pod make it too easy. Also sticking a warthog and not killing the driver or gunner doesn't make any sense.
 
I think I've run into a bug on Xbox Live.

When I sign in, Cocopjojo shows up as being last online one minute ago. Happens every time, even when I check Xbox.com.

Boo.
 
Very impressed with Squad Battle.....except for multi flag on Valhalla being vetoed everytime it popped.

Still getting used to the Magnum being there and I keep dropping my AR when I pick up the BR. I'm not so sure this was such a great idea since we have been playing a full year like this. Anyways besides that minor point great update!
 
Bungie really missed a trick when naming the Elephant-less Sandtrap. It should of course be 'Sans Trap'.

Also, fun fact as to why Heavies is so batshit: the respawn timer for the base lasers is thirty fucking seconds.
 
So much fun yesterday. I have two video pending on GameVee. Currently in my fileshare, here's a picture preview.

Banshee or Boat... you decide...

Do Warthogs like dancing in the air? (Dirtbag's awesome aerial drive)

That's awesome, Dani. I really should go back and check out all my saved films myself.

There was a ton of awesome moments, plenty of fail momets, but I decided to capture the "WTF" moments in clips.

Actually, more pics incoming...

*Loves the films and screenshot aspect of Halo 3 so much*

is it me or are there alot of laggy non-speaking foriengers in squad battle?

how would you know a non-speaker is foreign?
fun fact - the internet doesn't revolve around America, making no one a foreigner.

fuct fact2 - I'm cranky in the mornings when I sleep very little. No idea why I bothered posting this. :lol

Needs more Boundless and High Ground.

Team Heavies is definitely an excuse to abuse power weapons and vehicles. Needs some refinement.

Would love to see 1 flag on High Ground. It would probably become much more strategic and harder with 6v6 (similar to Burial Mounds a la Halo 2). 1 flag on Last Resort is a must as well as 2 flag on The Pit and 2 flag Rat's Nest.
Heavies is great if only for the Gauss Hog. That thing is a beast. And we were getting a lot of the same gametypes last night. I'm sure there's more variety than what we were encountering.

That was the second of two Banshee surfing moments. Both were pretty funny :lol

There was another? LOL! Damm, I must have missed it! This had me in stiches.

Dirtbag 504 said:
That warthog does the most perfect flip, I can't wait to see that again :lol

And the banshee boat had me in tears.

Watching the clip, it almost seems like you lined the Warthog up just perfectly.

What had me going about the Banshee boat was, as soon as I died, the guy in the Banshee-boat comes over to my body and spins on it, almost like uncontrolled boat-bagging. Then he spins into the river, his own teammates gather around in amusement. Then we our team head over and have a laugh, then he just gets up.

Both are in my fileshare if you rather not wait days for the speedy Gamevee service (can't complain, atleast we can lift video from Halo 3 much more easily now).

And Blue, about that hog run....

... it was going perfectly... then Numbers decided to jump out and say hello to the bumper...

sorrynumbers.jpg


Things were going smooth, even though Bladed and his ninja skills with the laser had me shitting bricks...

bladed.jpg


If it wasn't for the fact that the hog we had was beaten up, we could have survived longer. Alas, a sneaky invisable guy marked the end of the killing spree with a touch of blue death.

Although, I think LAG had something to do with it....

I was browsing threw my old screen shots last night and found this little gem.

I was asking for a halo wallpaper the other day and I think this one will do just fine.

Does anyone need an extra person for their group completing the Annual Vidmaster challenge? I don't have many friends on XBL who I can ask, so I figured I would inquire here.

GT: Pickled Trout

Message me on XBL or respond to this post if anyone has room in their group. Thanks.

Tried it yesterday with 3 friends and beat it with all of the requirements, and I didn't get the achievement, but I have to say it was one of the most fun campaign sessions I've ever had.

Nice screens Trash, and to confirm what everyone already knew, you died the most: 37 times. :)

I was going to compare our run to the other guys' but I think some shinanigans were at play over there.

we had some significant lag, we basically had to beat sections of it at like 10 fps. I wonder if that is part of the bad reporting.

Looks like we only died a collective 20 times though vs. 37. HA!

I want the vidmaster achievement. :(
It was so much more fun to get than I thought it would be. I'm sure more then a few of us wouldnt mind doing it again. Having Cocop at the helm definitely helped, as he knew the ins and outs of everything.
 
Damn, I want to jump into this 'newish' H3-TU2 (pronounced 'he-tu-two') goodness. I haven't played H3 since the first map pack. I went ahead and purchased the Legendary map pack last night, but it took forever to d/l, so I bagged.

My skills are, how you say in faux broken eastern European english "not so good" ;) I feel playing with the GAF crowd would at least help me improve and somehow shield me from the unnecessary deriding of my skills and potentially my parental heritage.

What pray-tell do I need to do to get in on the magic? XBL Gamertag: Macjester
 
Anyone want to try to get 4 players together and get the achievement tonight? I'll be available after 9:30 MST/11:30 EST

Every now and then I like to go through the last few pages of the thread and read all of the posts I've missed. This is one of those times:

Dax01 said:
I also have two Gameveedeos for you guys to look at:

The first, Pink Mist, has TGA owning with the needler. Ghal, you'll like this video.

The second, Failed T-bag, has this guy getting owned while T-bagging an enemy (I'm the one in the turret). I laughed so hard, and even warned the guy not to do it!
The first vid was entertaining. But TGA's opponent looked like a rather weak player. Regardless some of the kills were :lol - worthy.

I really did laugh my ass off at the end of the second vid. It was simply because when you ditched the hog I imagined you saying, "Oh shit. I'm outta here."

Dani said:
Is Anvil a new Foundry variant? It's probally the worse piece of shit map I have ever seen in any matchmaking service. What were they thinking?
You mentioned Anvil several times yesterday. I still haven't seen it.

Dirtbag 504 said:
My most random was getting teamed randomly with Frankie. We partied up and played a few rounds. Tiny world indeed.
I've got a couple. Once I got matched up against Ramirez in Social Slayer. I like to think of it was my noob team versus his noob team ("noob" because of the other players' stats). It is that match where this screenshot originated from.

I've also been matched against with kylej, Azar, Jtwo and one other GAFer (I forgot).

Banzaiaap said:
Fun times, man. Most fun I've had with H3 in a long time. :)
No doubt, man. We should play again soon.

GM Bullfrog said:
Big Team on Construct? Do you mean Squad? 6v6 is really pushing it on that map IMO.
Its an absolute mess. If your team doesn't immediately take over the top level, you'll lose the match. I've had matches where we dominated and matches where we were dominated.

Edit: This made me very, very happy. Ever have one of those moments where you plan something out way in advance, and it actually works? This was one. (Plan A was nail him the first time. Plan B was hope he did a lap.)

Made my night.
That was really clever and it worked! Really awesome.

Just wanted to let everyone in on the piece of shit that this guy is. Because I wouldn't participate in the circle jerk for achievements when we get Avalanche, I got told by "Total Sacrifice", just as he leaves our party after the game, that I am a fucken faggot.

I come to expect this from the xbox live crowd, I know little fucks have to be little fucks when they have the privilege of anonymity that is provided by the internet. But not this crowd, not people that actually care about this game and have invested time in this community. But then again, nothing says "I am a bad ass" like telling someone off just as you are pressing "B" to get the fuck out.
I really appreciate you laughing at me during the entire match. Really, I do. 6 attempts to speak to you resulted in you laughing in my face and killing me. As for the achievement circle jerk, I wasn't the only one going for achievements. In fact, I was the only who was going for achievements and was unsuccessful. If you had a problem with me before that match why didn't you say so? And I recall using the words "fuck" and "you" exclusively. I love teh gays (not in that way :lol ).

A lot of people here if not almost everyone will tell you they've never seen me angry. I may have gotten peeved but I don't get angry playing GAF games. But hey, I had some stuff go down during a two hour hiatus from Live last night. I probably shouldn't have taken out my stress on you.

I'm surprised you took it to heart and for that comment I apologize. But let's be honest. You were being a dick. I don't you buddy so I don't take your behavior as I joke. Had it been Numbers, Domino, Trasher or any other regulars I would have been laughing at it the shenanigans myself. Enough said.

Dirtbag 504 said:
Just what we need, more halo thread drama....
maybe we'll get this sucker locked yet!
:lol

They only appear after you kill GS.

Awesome! I'm always throwing grenades over the bridge from one side to the next and getting kills. Now I'll aim to the side as well. :lol

GhaleonEB said:
Man. That's too awesome for words.
By awesome I mean hilarious.

Dax01 said:
Anyway, first of all let me give a HUGE shout out to Blueblur1 (Total Sacrifice!!!!), thanks for all the help, man. I finally sent an email and it go through. Weird. Total, if you need anything that you think I can help you out with, don't hesitate to ask.
I'm not such a bad guy after all. I mean I brought back Dax didn't I? :lol
He's not so bad in small doses. And he's posted nothing but serious comments since his return.

I want the achievement, too! I'll join (GT: MIMIC880)

I'll be in class for the next few hours so I can't add/accept anyone right now.
