I hadn't included the MLG maps since they were most likely submitted by the folks who brought the game settings and game variants for the playlist. Onslaught and those alike are nicely made maps and I'm happy they're in the MLG Playlist. I also mentioned I wouldn't be surprised of Mage gets added to the MLG variant, as well. At least I hope so. More freshness to a playlist plays a wonder.Thermite said:

Eazy, played on Ber Ber v2.1c. Overall, you did a hell of a job making it. I sort of wish you had money to make the lighting, though. I don't mind the shortened teleporter areas, I was never a fan of the large space behind each base in the first two.
Going back on what Nokyard said, you can grenade jump out of the map. Now it's not easy, but its not hard either. Now, if you are playing with GAF buddies in customs this isn't a problem at all
. But if you were submitting this to Atlas, it would be a no no. But for what I plan on playing on it (GAF customs) it's great.

except for Dax, who blatently ignores barriers and honor rules.

Not sure if there would be an announcement of a new Halo game at ComicCon (no less Halo 4), that's the sort of thing you'd reveal at a gaming trade show - not a comic book one.Kibbles said:
Maybe something like Halo Chronicles (which is said to be divergent from the average gaming experience), maybe more on the Marvel comics line-up, possibly another book announcement or something of that nature -- strictly in terms of fiction, I've been markedly more impressed with the ComicCon panels than with the other venues, which are equally as bad ass, but for very different reasons. The last panel with O'Connor and Staten was pretty damn hilarious.
yesssssss i can play halo for the first time this week.

All I can say is that this new author had better live up to the last one... I'm expecting a resume with at least TWO online workshop writing certificates this time!Mr Vociferous said:
k played eazy's map.
what i like:
what i dont like:
- the ramps on the inside of the base, i can get stuck on them trying to transition from the basement to the main level.
- the rocket arch allows me to jump ontop of both bases too easily. i know you could jump onto red base but this is just too easy.
- i can jump from red base to top sniper to easily.
- the river has no cover.
- you can jump from the rocket arch to top snipe.

I'm hoping to see something at E3 from Bungie besides ODST but I doubt it. ODST is this year's Halo so Microsoft is going to focus on it as it will probably be their marquee title for Fall 2009.
I like to have low expectations so I feel that Bungie probably won't announce The Next Big Thing until 2010. The only thing I wonder about nowadays as far as Halo is concerned is if there will be an Official Halo 3 ODST thread and if so will this one will be retired?

Maybe when the time comes we could just get a thread title change. Because this one can't be "retired." If it's locked and slips past the last page, it's gone (because it is too big to be archived).Blueblur1 said:I'm hoping to see something at E3 from Bungie besides ODST but I doubt it.

The thread won't allow it.

If not for the limitations (money or object limit), I'm sure Eazy or another person can make a fantastic remake, but such limitations force a smaller, crunched map with easy jumps that shouldn't be possible or as easy. A person can jump from a base to the Rocket arch to the other base. Again, not his fault or anybody else... Forge's (in)capabilities hinder that.Nutter said:

Wow, you really were bored, but you deserve a slow clap for your effort. Also I can't believe you went and dug that up.
Omlet, I hope you saved those games because I forgot to
And yes, the map is much smaller than Beaver Creek but Ber Ber Creek seems to play pretty well nonetheless.
Yeah, he PMed me the exploits he found and I fully intend on fixing them before I think about sending them to Atlas.Stormtrooper30 said:

Anyways, my buddies and I ended up with Smashed in Social Team DLC. The map is such garbage and was such a bore that we ended up talking about incest.
Yes, we started talking about brothers fucking sisters because of Smashed (no pun intended). Get this fucking map out of MM. For God sakes.
Thought I'd fire off an update on my current map. I've been tinkering with the middle quite a bit; this is the fifth or so iteration and I think it's going to stick.
Basic concept: two walled off forts face each other, open in the back, connected by a bridge across an alley; the idea was to push vehicles around the outside and down the center. It wasn't until I had it all laid out that I realized how similar the concept was to Rat's Nest. Whoops. Still, the devil's in the details.
One side of the map.
Coming across the bridge.
The angled blocks make for surprisingly excellent ramps up to the center structure. Brute shot and active camo is up there, as is a direct route to the flag. The split walls provide spawning cover.
The alley. Each base has an open slot on opposite sides, so a vehicle (or infantry) can plow right into the base. The alley has rockets outside each open slot, and an overshield in the center, right under the bridge.
Still some minor tinkering to do, but I think it works. Now to finish the other side.

holy shit that picture just gave me the greatest idea for a map but i don't know if it would be possible to implement.
like the base would be on the outskirts of sanblox and if you ventured outside you better hurry up and get to the otherside or the towers would eat you alive. GENIOUS I AM MAN OF GENIOUS.
again i dont know if i can implement it.

It just nitpicks. Give it some time!:lolWilleth said:Man, I love my ISP.
Where should I start? Here's a list of artists that I enjoyed listening to while playing Halo 2 MP and that I still enjoy today: At the Drive-in, Bad Religion, AC/DC, Rage Against the Machine, Jurassic 5, some Metallica and oddly enough the Jet Set Radio and Jet Set Radio Future soundtracks.Starchasing said:
Nowadays, I don't listen to music anymore while playing Halo but back in the day before I joined GAF and most of my friends weren't playing Halo 2 anymore I was always listening to those artists. Going 25 - 0 in a Rumble Pit match while listening to One Armed-Scissor was more fun than I've ever had with Halo 3. (Not to knock on Halo 3 or anything.)
