Where was the code located in this week's update?

Also, Insaniac- Any updates on your Ascension remake. I'm really looking forward to it because its probably one of the best halo 2 maps made and I'm so bad at forge I would never be able to remake it.

thats the most current picture I have. It's coming along well. The thing I'm trying to do with this remake is preserve some of the more critical ninja jumps, I just don't know all of them though.

Nice nice, If you need some help- I'll mess around with your version when I get back to skool on Sunday. Good work so far.
 
Tagged one of my oldest screenshots with Scarab just now. Took this on my first run through the campaign - this was actually super successful.

It was just an excuse to show this screenshot to everyone :P If I do end up getting a code, it'll go to my nephew, I think.

I've been forcing myself to play through games in my backlog like Fable 2 & Fallout 3. :lol

Oh and I replayed up to Truth & Reconciliation of CE on Legendary yesterday, game is still SO good in campaign. The part where you have to fight the waves that come down from T&R is so much fun on Legendary.

Oh hell no.


Insaniac, the best of lucj to you and your map. You have no idea how badly I want it to be awesome. Ascension was amazing.

With the infinate $ glitch, does anyone beleive that an Ivory Tower or Headlong is possible?
 
Updated Progress. I added cover to Top Mid and the bridge going from Top Mid to the High Side. I still need to add cover to the High Side and then fill in the area from the High Side to the Blue base. Once I am done with that I can mirror the rest to the Red base. I won't be able to work on it again until Sunday.

yeah, i just got it too.

now i have to get that stupid 3 oddball kills achievement. god knows how i'm going to do that in one game. i also have to get the extermination kills achievement. the funny thing is i went 14-0 one game and went 15-0 another but lost wtf? so i didn't get it but i should have gotten it :'( and annual which will never happen because i can't find anyone to play campaign let alone competent enough to know what to do.

oh yeah, did i mention the best mythic map to play on (assembly) should have a larger weight occurrence ratio in the mythic playlist? i honestly only play that map once every 15 games.

i almost forgot, i played tundra for the first time. i will literally take a shit in the name of the person who made that map. i honestly believe it was made by someone with downs ->

Wow, I don't think I've seen a post where everything is as wrong as that. I don't think you know what an Extermination is.

EDIT: If you want to do Annual, just post in the thread. I'm sure you can rustle up three others. I've done it twice, it was a blast both times, and part of the fun is picking on people for dying over and over. :D It should take about an hour to do with an average team. I'd probably be willing to do it again if I have a spare hour or so.

Wow, I just went back and played my brother 1v1 in Halo 2 and noticed that the game is sooooo broken. How big are the hitboxes on heads for headshots with the Sniper? I was no-scoping with no problem from across Midship and Lockout.

Halo 2: NOOB --------------------------- PRO
Halo 3: NOOB -------- PRO?

Yea the sniping was dumb. My friend always used to spin round with the sniper rifle and noscope people, he did it so many times it was rediculous, the aim assist was huge. It's still present in Halo 3, but toned down a fair bit.

i've done it 6 times and each time was a blast - the quickest was 34 minutes, the longest was 1:10 because one of the players had to eat dinner in the middle of the Ghost drive, so we found a 'safe' place to wait within a giant population of infection forms - i know the 'Spire' shortcut if you want to do it without much fighting - i will be on all day doing last minute adjustments on the new Grifball court, msg me at runNOKYARDrun if you want (i have someone who can play P3 here so we will need a 4th)

when are the new maps available to download?

also if ever, will they ever be free like how Halo 2 did maps?
Click to expand...

Undetermined and Undetermined but probably not.

and KevinRo, are you slow? :D you got the extermination achievement in this game: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo3.aspx?gameid=1024153687&player=SometimesImEpic , you now need the perfection and splatter spree achievements, try n keep up here.

Also I'm in agreement Tundra SWAT was pretty bad, although out of like ~80 mythic games I've only gotten it once. Bungie should have gave me a code ahead of time to come up with a good variant though.
 
so it will be awhile where the only way to get them is by getting the LE version of Halo Wars.

i thought they would be releasing them for purchase download? still no for sure on that?

Announcement of when it will be available for download is coming soon. At the moment only guesses.

I'm pretty sure he's joking. Even so, I can't see how anything Juices could come up with could possibly be worse than SWAT on Tundra. It is the worst thing in matchmaking right now, and that's saying a lot.

Although I'd suggest Shake Appeal would have been a good target for a code. Never mind Wizard and Prisoner, what the world needs is a remake of Two Boxes.

Have March's Double EXP weekends been listed anywhere? I'm not really into Legendary Brawl, and I was hoping for more Team Flag next weekend.

Smashed is better than Tundra. Smashed is an okay design, badly forged. Tundra is a terrible design, well forged.

Once you patch the giant holes in Smashed, and make it BR starts, and play touch return CTF, it's not actually too bad. Tundra can't be fixed, except by at the very least deleting the bases and starting again.

This would be a great start to fixing Smashed.
 
Tundra was added to matchmaking because Shiska can call it a map from the forge community without putting any effort into finding good maps.

I think the tundra hate could be a product of only being able to play swat on it. Team Slayer might play a lot better because you won't die immediately after peaking your head out of those spawn bowls.

i'd be down for this i've played it 5 times and like nokyard said it was a blast each time.

in other news i finally finished one side
the hard side
of my map and i think i'm going to take a break from this map. it is seriously draining me. i have another idea that will be easier and quicker that i might do instead and then come back not sure yet

Too bad that touch return doesn't exist outside of MLG Halo 3. :(
Click to expand...

Seriously, its like on Sandbox once you toss the map off the top its basically a cap since they just need to keep running up and touching it once to start the 1 year flag return timer over.

and no Lukems because I've given good playlists, and maps, and gametypes. Nothing changes you'll continue to give maps variants to supposedly "PROVEN FORGERS" but they'll continue to suck.

I'm actually working on a map that I guarantee will be greater than or equal to Forge but out of spite it would NEVER EVER EVER make it into MM.

Don't worry, he got a code. I think he got one even before buying the Halo Wars LE. But he's still, erm, 'unable to post' after those Killzone remarks.

He said he thought about making another Two Boxes (potentially "Two Skyboxes", simply two boxes hovering in the air), but since he couldn't post it anyway, he didn't bother.
 
Finally got a "Hail to the King!" medal :D damn the anouncer makes you you feel so epic for that. I thought I would never get one.
