I'll be on about 8:00 Pacific time, looks like the same time you will. GT: GhaleonEB

I'll be on around then if you still need people. GT: Oozer3993

I've decided that other than the Vidmaster ones, I'm just going to let the achievements happen. I'm not going to go hunting for them. That'll make it more fun.

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

Adding the HaloGaf silver account is an excellent start. At any given time there is usually a gaf game going the only problem is finding an open spot.:D I can't remember for sure who is running that account though but I think HaloGaf is the gamertag. I know someone knows.

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.
Cocop's dick is tied to his F5 button on his computer, which always has xbox.com up on Firefox. Every time he touches Mr. Wang, his friends list on Xbox.com refreshes, hence he always appears offline 1 minute ago.

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.
I just wanted to point out that you died 36 times, and that two of my deaths were from Blood rocketing me. Therefore, you suck more. Carry on. :D

neoism said:
Trasher will you put this on your file share please if it already isn't?!
Did you want all of those shots or just a couple? I can just recommend them to you if you want.

urk said:
Eh, switching the dates is nothing new. I'm sure they are aware. In fact, I know they are:

http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=896800

Different achievement, but same idea. I can't see them being concerned about stuff like this.
I tried switching the date, but it didn't work for the 7 on 7 achievement. So either these kids are lying or I'm just not doing it right.

But it's also important to note that while you were jumping in front of Blood's rockets and shotguning me (I know you did it!) I was racking up the most kills in the group.
 
EazyB said:

You only had one more kill than me! AND, 12 of your kills were in the ghost killing enemies on the way out because you sucked too much to avoid them in your ghost!

ME? Me sucking with the ghost?!?!

I need to get a screen of YOU leading all of us into the abyss.
 
How do I get on one of the Gaf Halo accounts friend list?

Also i'm willing to help people get the Vidmaster Annual achievement as well as looking for any team slayer, squad battle, custom games, or DLC parties to join. Usually get on around 10pm cst.

You were dumb enough to follow. It was very entertaining leading you lemmings off into the abyss!
 
Self Induced said:
Did any of you put that video in your file share yet? It certainly sounds entertaining.
I saved the film so when I can get back to my 360 later this evening I can throw it up there. I'm afraid most of the hilarity will be lost without the terrifying cries of Trasher each time a spider flood approaches him.
No really, he's terrified of them.

7 on 7 - clarified
There's been quite a bit of confusion about the new '7 on 7' achievement, and what you need to do to earn it. SketchFactor stopped by our forum today with a clarification:

The real scoop now is that you just need to hit the #7 in EXP in ANY playlist on the 7th of the month.

So... you can earn 6 EXP in Team Slayer and then earn 1 more on the 7th and earn it. You can also just go into the special playlist that is released on 10/7 and earn all 7 there.

So... you NEED to hit number 7 in a given playlist to get it - but if you've already PASSED number 7 in all playlists, you can still do it in the special playlist that appears on that day. Not bad! (Louis Wu 18:27:45 UTC)

Thanks for the info ... and your mirror site that my work doesn't block .... yet.

Heh - it's not a mirror, just an aliased domain. :) Same box. Same content. Just a name that isn't obvious enough to trigger filters. :)

One of these days, I'll add a new IP address to that box, and map it to that name - then filters that block on IP might even miss it. (Some of those block IP ranges, but often they block only specific addresses.)

My br is good. But now my AR has degraded into crap :( :(
They nerfed the AR as well as the mauler.

Blood says it's harder to ride the mauler on Standoff now.
 
LunaticPuma said:
Anybody know of a way to get to bungie.net through websense?

There is no way up. Unless you know where the Websense policy server is and you can power it down, it's pretty fool proof. You'll find proxies are a no go.

orly? Well i guess thats why they give you a pistol now. Speaking of which, i can't coutn how many times I've picked up a BR, then switched to my alternate weapon to find it's a pistol >.>

Oh and grenade spam on narrows is lame

No body uses my own gifs against me NOBODY! :lol :lol

And yes riding a mauler is much harder now unfortunately.

Awesomesauce. Is that how GAF does it as well? I can read this site at work, and 'games' are banned there. Even mainstream news sites with games stories get banned :(

Hey Dax! Let's get this achievement tonight! Bow-chika-wow-wow!

Seriously though, we should.

Sai-kun said:
Can I play?! :O

Not tonight. I promised TGA that I would do it with him as soon as he can play (which, at the earliest, is probably Friday). During school today, I told him I already got two achievements, and he was mad because I told him that I would wait until he can play (it's understandable). I won't get anymore achievements until he can play. Damn, should not have gotten those first two achievements.

Sai-kun said:
Shoulda played with me yesterdayyyy there were only 3 of us in BTB.
If you had sent an invite...

Blueblur1 said:
He's not so bad in small doses. And he's posted nothing but serious comments since his return.

... :(

And just for clarification: all four players have to make it to the finish line for the seventh annual achievement, correct? If all other players die except for me, I just can't pass the finish line and get the achievement?

Also, I played my first Zombies game in DLC FFA. Pretty good, got it on Cold Storage. For awhile now, I have been hoping for some sort of permanent Zombies playlist, but having it be one of the gametypes in a permanent playlist is the next best thing. Besides, now I'm starting to think that if Zombies became a permanent playlist, it would get tiresome pretty fast.

Dax's Achievement Progress

Double Double: Got it on Heavy Avalanche in DLC BTB by using the tank. I know it's a little cheap, but a double kill is a double kill!

Came... From... Behind...: Got this "ninja-testing" achievement by crouching in, I think it is, BR2 on Blackout. You know those little racks you can hop on top of? Yeah, I just stayed put right there.
 
Me, dirtbag, Metroid and Omlet went into a Custom last night to see if the Mauler was nerfed, and it acted the same way it always has - a Mauler/melee was still a KO.

Well, you have to have the Iron skull on, so if any player dies, then all are reset back to the last checkpoint.
 
Cocopjojo said:

I thought the Iron Skull made you restart at the beginning of the level? Oh well, that makes sense.
 
In fact, last night, three of us actually passed the finish line and triggered the final cutscene, but since one person was slightly too far behind, the panels had fallen out from under him and he died... the cutscene continued normally for about six seconds, and then it stopped and we were all reset back to the last checkpoint. It sucked, haha.

Not on co-op.
