How the hell do people manage to stay in touch with hundreds of friends on facebook?

I have a profile but it's empty and bare.. it'll likely stay that way, I can't stand facebook!

Sure, there are maps that probably shouldn't have gotten into matchmaking before others, and arguably not at all, like Smashed and Octoplex, but there's also really good maps like Onslaught and to a degree, Amplified. Anyway, my point was if those maps can get into matchmaking, then Eazy's map should have no problem getting in there.

With Bungie saying they're planning on handling community made maps differently with Sandbox than they did with Foundry, I'm sure we're going to see a lot more Forge made maps implemented into matchmaking this time.
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.

I have now had a run around in it. Very impressive. One question: am I mistaken or does the shotgun only have one clip in it? Surely if you're going to neuter anything it should be the rockets.

Should be called Ber Ber Creek.

Was able to do a little more tweaking to squeeze another $10 outta the map which I'll use to prevent people from getting out. Also added the rest of the objectives to the map.

Beaver v2.1c
PICS PLEASE, for people without MMP! :(
 
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
except for Dax, who blatently ignores barriers and honor rules.
. 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.

Your cousin sent me a friend request. We played some MLG, he's good. :)
Thanks, yeah he's a good player, hope he behaved himself he's only 14, he's trying hard to get his 50 in MLG but he lagged out today and went down to a 46 from a 47 :(

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.

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.

wait... rocket race wtf?? nvm :'(

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!
 
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.

Even with all those changes, the map is still 100x better than any other BC Remake.
 
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? :P

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).

Seriously, it should remain until Evilore quits the internets!

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.

Yeah, he PMed me the exploits he found and I fully intend on fixing them before I think about sending them to Atlas.

And yes, the map is much smaller than Beaver Creek but Ber Ber Creek seems to play pretty well nonetheless.

Yizzer.

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.


Nearlythere3.jpg


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.


Nearlythere4.jpg


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.

I really, really like Ghaleon's maps.

I edited/overhauled your Centrifugal map and renamed it Centriflux to make it more to my liking. I'll post it on here if you don't mind?

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.

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.) :)
