No I had to get Sai-Kun his 40 (True Story)
Saist had a 50 and was good. Hai!
You mean LIKE When I WAS RAMBO AND MANAGED TO HOLD YOUR ENTIRE TEAM BACK WHILE MY TEAM CAPPED THE FLAG LIKE THIS
Also Instagib was awesome, and that shit needs to be a DBL EXP weekend! I'd also settle for Champion on Tournament being a Dbl EXP weekend.

Yee thats the whole point I just forgot to put it on on Sandtrap. Its really a game of waiting for one team to charge over the Valhalla hills sinc eyou can see them you can line up your snipe shot ahead of time. Theres actually a lot of subtle skill involved, tactics you might say, you did mad good though so I think you understand it.
I believe the original had pistol instead of BR so you start with snipe until you run outta ammo then pistol up close.
I liked platform especially Champion when it was me vs Dax and I decided to commit suicide cause I'm so bad.

I think I would rather play it with BR's and Snipers instead of Snipe/Pistol. I like the really fast pace. Those matches were a lot of fun.
Also, Bladed, I'm cool with no lifts in Mage. It didn't really effect the way I played the map. It still plays like Warlock. Great job with it.
Edit: Neoism, I was having trouble with my NAT and after reading some shit I tried restarting my router but leaving it unplugged for 30 seconds. I now have an open NAT. I don't know which router you have but I have the newest Linksys. It might be worth a shot. Also, sorry I was annoying you with millions of party invites lol...you must have been really frustrated.

Dax I gotta admit Age of Empires (Dumb Name) wasnt actually that bad, we had a very close very long game on that, bottom line is you need some cover even if its just some rocks or columns between all the based in case you get caught. It might play VERY well after that.

Hey, I grew up right around there. :lol
Also, who's bright idea was it to release Mythic right before Easter? Fun times will be had by me leaving my xbox at home to travel. This whole Mythic garbage is a damn catastrophe. Worst marketing scheme ever.

Me and my friend have been playing Halo 3 tonight and after some team objective and big team games, we came to the burning question:
What the fuck happened?
What happened to Waterworks, Headlong, Containment, Relic, Terminal, Coagulation, Ivory Tower, Midship?
What happened to 1 bomb and 1 flag fast on lockout and ivory tower, shotgun ctf on beaver creek?
I mean, ive been playing this game since it came out, and the game is great, but, the maps just dont have that pizazz. Like, at all.
And may be you feel like just porting maps isnt good or something like that. I dont know. What i do know is that it is wrong in thinking so.
May be i missed the memo where we were told why these terrific maps, not in need of "re-imagining" were left out. But its really sad when i have to reminisce about my favorite maps instead of actually playing them. Since when is having more maps a bad thing?

VHFive shotgun embarrassment.
Noscope Snipe Spree on Saist in Instagib
Storm and NY square off first Tournament
Dax realizes its not AR starts on Abaddon
Juices takes half the game to realize there is an entire upper section to Abaddon
Banshee stops the Gauss before we even get started
Bungie decides everyone should die even the Banshee
Chaos On Empires
Bad News Bears on Turf

That's near Dayton right? I've probably driven on that exact part several times. I used to go to school around there.
P.S. A suburb of Dayton is named Beaver Creek. Bungie is really going all out.
Instagib was fun. And Entrenched was great. Ber Ber Creek played closer to the original than I thought it would. I played the whole flag game dual wielding SMG + Plasma rifle just like old times
Champion? Let's never play that again.

We just had about a hour long CTF game on Hawaiian_Pig's Facing Worlds. It was insane. The film is 25.2MB :lol. We were neck and neck the whole game but our team lost in the end. I ended up with 122 kills, 45 assists, +66. Best spree: 22. Sucks we lost, but it was still a lot of fun. Yeah, sryz. I was going to join Gamenight, but these customs were really long, and fun.
So GAF, how did gamenight go? Did the maps play well? Any in particular you'd recommend for MM?
Found this over at another site, through... *gulp* N4G. It could easily be fake...
[edit] Yeah, it was an April Fool's joke from http://www.halo3infinity.net. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VF3BS_rnuvc Not funny H3I, I've been dying to see something from this game.

Here are two funny moments from tonight, both staring myself and Penguin!
CLICK THE IMAGES FOR FULL SIZE!
Penguin and Juices are in the most important battle of their lives.
Ah but have no fear, Penguin, Grimm will save you!
Unfortunately for Penguin, Juices' check cleared...
Penguin eventually forgave Grimm and along with Echo, successfully stole the red flag and were returning home. All was well.
They're rounding third! But something feels off...
Suddenely a wild Tashi appeared and he had a spike grenade!
And poor Penguin gets nailed. I turn to him and say, "Better you than me!"
But Tashi's victory was short lived and Penguin's allies finished him off. And I scored the flag in honor of Penguin's sacrifice

Looks like Customs was good times. If there are any more going on you know I need to get in on that shit. And thanks for trying Flag on Mage. Im really struggling to get those spwans fixed. It seems to be ok when the flag is at home but borked when your flag is away. Its supposed to swan you at either the yellow corner or purple corner. They're the only other spawns I placed on the map for flag away (along with your own corner). Im gonna read up on them today. maybe look at forge for existing maps see how others have it set up :/
Oh and does anyone have a saved film of the game? that would be cool

^^ Those wall slits are on the red side, too.
I've also renamed the map to Outskirts because it's based on the first area of the campaign level "Outskirts" in Halo 2.

Does anyone have any thoughts as to why Team Objective is not very popular? I know Slayer will probably always be number one, but I would think that CTF and Assault games would always be number 2 and they're not.
It's kind of unfortunate, because Team Objective has always been one of my favorite playlist, along with Big Team Battle. To me, it seems like it should be more popular, or there should be a way to spice it back up.

That game was full of epic win.
Sniper butt into Tashi's face XD
I remember we were playing on Beaver Creek and I was up on base. I hear Vhfive say something like "surprise!" and then see him melee from behind and then walk in front of me... He missed the assasination. I killed him. Good times.
Edit: Whoa, are there any more pictures of Heretic? Citadel and Longshore both sound like they could be Relic. I'm really hoping for a Headlong or Ivory Tower remake.

Yeah. I think you're probably right. I checked out the current gametypes for Team Objectives, and here's the list with type and percent chance to come up each game.vhfive said:
1. Multi Flag CTF (20.8%)
2. Multi Flag BR (14.9%)
3. One Flag (12.6%)
4. Assault (9.3%)
5. One Bomb (11.9%)
6. Neutral Bomb (5.6%)
7. Team Oddball (13.8%)
8. Team Crazy King (11.2%)
Out of those, here is what I think needs to go or be changed:
-(Multi Flag)Okay, maybe it's just me, but what is the deal with multi flag? I mean it's alright, but it's definitely not better than Classic CTF. Good grief. Are people afraid of playing long CTF games? The entertaining edge that Classic Flag has over Multi Flag is the touch return and needing your flag in base to capture the other team's flag. It's an absolute amazing feeling when the other team is just about to score your flag and you kill the carrier and return the flag, instead. Period. End of story. Good bye. The end. It's always an epic feeling. Multi Flag turns into a cheap race of trying to capture 3 flags before the other team does. How uninteresting can you get? And with non-touch return, once a team gets a flag towards their half of the map, they're gonna score 9 times out of 10. That just isn't very exciting in my opinion. It's dull, more than dull even.
- (Neutral Bomb)This needs to go. One bomb and Assault are fun for exactly the opposite reason Classic CTF is fun. They're short and to the point. You have a chance to score, and you have a chance to defend. Then you swap sides. There is no stand off. Before you know it, the game is over and you've had a good little skirmish. 1 Flag is fun for the same reason. For the life of me, even in Halo2, I can't remember people ever enjoying neutral bomb. It's more of a chore than a good time. And in this case, a long game is a bad game. Nothing classic about it.
-(Team Oddball)This needs to go, or the percent chance for the game to come up needs to be dropped way down. The problem with this gametype is that the number of people who like and dislike it are split. So you have games where team members aren't even trying. Or they're just trying to rack up how many kills they can get. Make it uber rare so that even the people who don't really like it, can appreciate it when it comes up. Otherwise, get rid of it altogether.
-(Team Crazy King)Similar to Team Oddball, there is a big difference in the number of people who like this game type. You can try to win the game, but at the same time, allow your Kill/Death ratio to go to shit. Who wants to do that? I think most people would rather take the loss, and stand off to the side and rack up kills. Am I right? So get rid of this type too.
I think in the end, Bungie was or is trying to have a good variety of gametypes in each playlist. But this game has been out long enough and I think Bungie needs to stick with what works. They don't need a lot of variety within a playlist itself, just the best of the best. If you get tired or bored of it, that's when you switch playlists. So get rid of the crap, even if it means having a playlist of only 2-3 gametypes. Bungie needs to solidify what they've got, or they're gonna have playlists that no one likes and few people play. That's all there is to it in my opinion. If they want to force people to experience as much content as possible, do that in socials, not ranked.

My Team Objective would be:
30% Multi Flag
20% One Flag
20% Neutral Bomb
10% Bomb
10% Oddball
10% Hill
50% Flag gametypes and Bomb, Oddball, and Hill would skip to Flag after Veto. Since all my gametypes are AR/BR starts the need to clarify is redundant.

Added my map to the list. I ended up running a few customs on it last night with some other friends and was quite happy with how the map played with the different gametypes. I'm reviewing the films now to see if there are any more improvements for the next revision I need to place. Any GAF specific comments regarding Air Stream from customs night?

looks like Midship to me. He's jumping out of the Blue base to bottom mid, in the back you can see blue bubble leading to Carbine 3. I'm HOPING that after all of the hardcore backlash they got from Blackout, that this will be more of a port than a remake. I mean that more than just a technical standpoint because it obviously has completely redone assets. I mean it like it plays EXACTLY the same. I'm hoping that all of the jumps are still intact. Midship for me was the perfect map. It worked extremely well for FFA, Team Slayer, Oddball, CTF, and Assault (both types but neutral was better).
