Even with those being fake, it raised my hype for some ODST info soon. :D
Yeah I just realized we're about five to seven months from release. That's...not long.

Sandstorm surface, take two:

Compare to the first version, a bumpocalypse:

There's some tradeoffs, namely the larger space between the blocks cause by placing them plain side down. But I think it will be worth it.

Wow, that's awesome. Gonna go through a bunch of 'em right now. :P

Nice to see Ram using an early prototype of the aimbot there with the two plasma sticks in that third video.
:lol you get a new build of that bot or still in beta?

I just got the most recent up to date version today. (Version 2.9) Instead of having to hold any particular button to constantly have the reticle on the head, like with most of the older versions, now all you have to do is
like I'd reveal the secret, lulz

I recently upgraded my bot firmware to include the Auto lock on with the AR.

Oh shit. Looks like I have even more motivation to keep vetoing for BRs, then. ;P
 
I'd be up for customs tonight if anyone is playing.

I keep messing around with Monkey Cage even though I know I said that I was finished with it. After reading all the rules and suggestions for submitting a map to Atlas, I realized that i probably need to put a lot more effort into a map. So today I spent a good chunk of time "beautifying" Monkey Cage (making sure boxes were more flush with eachother and that pieces were positioned as best I could make them). Downloaded Octagon and it's a very clean-cut map with no out of place pieces, which gives it a very shiny look. I took some cues from that map and added a lot more respawn points to my map, and made sure they were positioned a little better than I had them before.

Still haven't fixed anything on Goldmine, so I apologize to the people who have downloaded it. It had some recent downloads and I figured someone took a look at it. I need to redo all the spawn points, plus add some more. I will do that eventually, but right now I've become obsessed with Monkey Cage. I'm trying to figure out the best weapons for the map and the best placement for those weapons.

If anyone is online hit me up for some games (customs or matchmaking).

Applies to anyone else who might be looking for Atlas films, although again it's contingent on actually having the numbers to do it.
If it isn't too late, or have enough time, check out my 4v4 style map, Access. Best suited for Multi-CTF, Neutral Bomb, and Team Slayer BRs (though that wouldn't qualify as a MM gametype, would it?)... regular Team Slayer would be fine. ;)

He has a point. Why are you guys playing social slayer and expecting to play a competitive match? Go big or go home BKs.

Just wanted to catch a few warm ups yo, to much to ask to be able to play a fun match on the same team?

I'm just messin, man. I agree that the party splitting in social playlists is ludicrous and really should be addressed.
 
I propose playlists to vary only by country.

Americans with Americans.
Canadians with Canadians.
Japanese with Japanese.

Ensuring complete global division.
 
How did Eazy get teh bannage?

Unless I'm missing it, I don't see it in his post history.

lol @ grimm's pic, unless they're trying to hint at the big changes present in ODST. :D

Ensuring complete global division.

SATURATION!

edit:

A salute to eazy for his Killzone 2 trolling.

Just a quick map update! It now has a name: Hybrid; due to the fact that if you squint your eyes and tilt your head a little it looks like an odd, shrunk combination of Rat's Nest and Avalanche.

The bases got a new tunnel leading to a corridor under the main wall.

Now the center room has some cover, and an entrance into the main wall in-between the colored columns . Its walls are also a bit higher so I could put a roof on it

And this is what the center corridor underneath the wall looks like. Not really the best picture to show it off...

About the only things left to do on it are to put a top on the center area, lengthen the wall so people can't spam grenades across it, put some cover for people on the outside vehicle track, and add weapons and spawns. Feels like I'm almost done, really.

:lol That's insane they'd publish something like that.

Halo 3 only has one of those, btw. Hopefully ODST is actually in HD.

Shishka: Yup.

one of my teammates is Canadian : (

I agree though, nothing worse than getting matches against Australians and playing on their host

You would think he learned something from my experience in the wilderness. Kilzone 2 is the most serious of all businesses.

lol what was the post that got him banned?

nevermind just found it...Killzone is such a touchy subject. People are so defensive over it.
 
Wow, Eazy really got banned for THAT?

He owns a PS3, right?
 
I've found through experience GAF mods are way too sensitive over the littlest posts except in this thread. You could murder someone round these parts and no one would look twice I reckon.
 
Poor Easy, and Killzone? I expected better of the old dino.

*Waves to Easy knowing he is reading but can't reply*


Edit:
How in hell do some of the trolls that shit up this thread stay unbanned while someone like Easy gets banned for an obvious inoffensive joke?

In related news, waiting for UPS to pick up my self made 360 coffin. Does MS in the UK always force customers to ship their broken piece of shit hardware in their boxes? I thought they shipped out boxes .

Halo 3 gets closer.

AFAIK they've never sent boxes out in the UK. The first time I sent mine back in a shoebox. The second, the box they sent the first one back in :P

Cheap asses the lot of them. =( Had to walk all over town to get a box.

Compare the whole mess with Sony, their shit broke, one phone call later and they arranged a guy to come to my door the next working day and exchange my broken PS3 with a new one. I could not believe it. The difference in how each company treats their customers in the exact situation is quite staggering. Never mind I had to wrestle with MS for months to accept it was their responsibility to repair the machine on their expense, being a classic RROD.

BTW, what kind of wait time should I be expecting if the damm thing gets picked up today? 3 Weeks?

And yeah, I'm gonna keep the box when it gets back for when, not if, I need it.
 
The box they send it back in is actually really useful for lugging it around. You can expect it back in about a week after it's been shipped to Germany.

What happened to Peter Moore's promise of a guy coming to your house to fix your Xbox, I wonder? :p

Wow, that is fucking lame.

KZ2 is like the half-retarded kid in elementary school. Say something that could be somehow remotely construed as being negative towards it and you'll be put in time-out.
 
I believe it was the 360 comment that got him in trouble.

There is a ton of bitching in the Killzone 2 thread about various aspects of the multiplayer game. Familiarize yourself with "Lince"in the Killzone 2 thread to see what I'm talking about. He is the Killzone 2 version of juices except really obnoxious.

Because mods don't check this thread. Dani, you're going to have to PM a mod if you want anything be done about "trolls" in this thread. That, or put them on your ignore list.

My HaloGAF ignore list is already 2 strong. I don't think I've ignored anyone outside of this thread either. :lol

Thanks for the heads up Willeth!

...Which more or less proves my point. I think it's a problem that people are so damned sensitive about a game that they weren't involved in the creation of, but only purchased and regularly play. I mean there's no reason that anyone should be banned for cracking a little joke with a :P face after it.
 
I don't see how he got banned for that because someone later on in that thread said the same thing about it going to xbox360.

Edit: I'm now waiting for Dirtbag to get banned, he's still fighting hard in that Killzone thread. :lol
