:( I always spawn with such shitty weapons aka NEVER with rockets.
i dont think i did either but after the first min i decided just to slay
the top 4 in that game were working together
killed a guy with rockets, picked em up and just watched where the oddball was.
easiest 6 kills ever
 
Get it on High Ground just set up let two people have a run at each other and then let it go right when they are close enough together, Also people are gunna be going for mongoose mowdowns so line up a shot and kill the mongoose and the other dude whos being ran over or just close to.

Its really one of those things you actively have to try to get but is pretty easy when you do. I got it in like my 3rd game of Lone Wolves.

Alright, let me sum up a typical game of Fiesta Ball for you all:

Spawn, probably with a Spiker and Plasma Pistol. You start running towards the ba--OH SHUCKS you were just rocketed.

Spawn again, probably with a Carbine and SMG. Start heading towards that ball (gotta rack up some points to win!). Shoot a guy from behind with the Carbine a bit and head towards the ba--OH NO rocketed again!

Spawn on the other side of the map, this time with a Brute Shot and a Pistol. Sneak around in a backhand way towards the ball. It's so close you can taste it! Wow! The two guys going for the ball just killed each other! Now's your opportunity! Head for the ball! "Press B to pick up the Oddball." "YES," you think, "Now it's time to get some poi--OH DARNIT killed by rockets again.

Seriously, everything but Fiesta Slayer is so fucking broken and frustrating. Ugh.

Hehe Fiesta FFA Objectives (and Fiesta FFA in general) are so laughably bad that it's hard to be upset at it. I just go in there and kill everyone with Rockets and Snipe to pat that K/D. Do the same. :P

OT:
Don't ever eat at Popeyes. I went there with a ladyfriend and I ordered two pieces of chicken and a biscuit for her because that's what she wanted and I ordered 6 pieces of nuggets and two biscuits for me and her box ended up being 3x larger than mine. Unforunately, that IS what she said. :(

U2's fan base is pretty wide. They've hauled old farts like myself along for the past 20 years, and picked up new ones with each album. FWIW, the latest is in their top 3 evah. "Breathe" 4 lyfe, yo.

Listening to it now, actually. U2 on a bad day are still better than 90% of the crap you kids listen to these days.

[/crabby old man routine]


u kidin me

My playlists on a nice day: Linkin Park, Coldplay, Lily Allen, No More Kings, Aranda, The Killers, and Morningwood [:D]

edit: i think dax and i are the youngest here.

...

Although that's not really a good thing :|

Oh man I love me some Popeyes. Their chicken strips are ace and the biscuits are godly.

That's awesome.


I can't beleive you guys like Bono and U2. The constant "YEA YEA YEA YEA YEA YEAs" annoy me.


Because "Vertigo" is the only U2 song ever right?

Anywho, Vh, I've already broken Sanctum v2 is 2 different spots and I'm working on a 3rd that I know I can get. If I end up not being able to do it because of how difficult it is, I'll just put up screen shots.

Butane, I'm going to try to break your map after I'm done with Sanctum. :D

i didn't realize it was ffa. i fucking hate ffa

I think the only way to play fiesta is ffa. Team games with ffa doesn't sound appealing to me. Now the key is being able to going into the fiesta ffa with your friends. If it is another can only go in by yourself ffa playlist I will won't be playing more than a game or two.
 
Do you guys want me to tell the PAF guys to try to get a group together for some games on Saturday (9 PM EST)?



5.2 (this Saturday) 9PM EST game with PAF. Send FR/message to GT: FyreWulff Rex to get in contact with PAF.

Highlights
These two maps were approved from Atlas and will be hitting MM next month. It's important to note that both maps are not necessarily in their final state at this point. For those forging it may also be useful to look at these maps to see what a MM-worthy map looks like, it's spawns, and other things.

Utah Mambo
Punishment v2

And again, since no one at Bungie wants to make the MM sandbox variants easily available I've taken the initiative of hunting them down. Here's what I've been able to find:
Vessel
Cubed
Plurality
Tundra
Tundra Swat

Still on the lookout for:
Vindictive
Wastelands

BR start on Isolation = NO

I hate it.

Isolation with BRs is one of the best. You can get in a rhythm and shit on kids. Hold top mid and rain down BR fire whenever the opposing team spawns.
 
Butane, I found a jump that is applicable to both old and new versions of your map. I've yet to find a different but I will try again tonight. Here it is...

I'm having to get really creative on this map.
 
I understand your point, but will somebody really have the time and even resources to do that in a ranked Matchmade game?

And question. Are you folks going to play those PAF players on GAF maps or all kinds?
 
Question on the spawn 'box' locations.

From what I've been told of how Mountain played last week (that should now be 1.04 Eazy, btw), it was quite easy to spawn trap players inside one of the base regions.

Now, I do have a fair amount of spawns inside, and I'll have to look at that (I was trying to prevent odd things from happening in Flag games), but I also had a good portion outside of the base nearer to the middle.

Are the spawn boxes, when highlighted, intended to ONLY use those spawns, and disregard the other, neutral spawns?

I'd say it's probably fair to just stick to the maps that Bungle made and not GAF maps. That way, when PAF gets the ol' dong, there's no excuses.

*holy crap images*

WOW! That is insane, man! I would never even think to try half of this stuff.

Thanks for showing me these, by the way.
 
I've downloaded a slew of maps this week so in addition to the GAF maps we should have a nice variety on Saturday. So far for Atlas we need 3 games on both Sanctum and Entrenched, right? Do any other maps need to be played for Atlas?

And I hope those PAF guys show up.
 
I'll message the PAF guy. Saturday 9 pm EST, 4v4 matches. All maps/gametypes will be from matchmaking. GAF choose one, PAF choose another, and we'll let them choose the tie-breaker if necessary.

Let's try to have a little more than 4 guys ready to play and those that aren't in a game can do customs with everyone else. If there are any disputes with who's in or not, priority will go to higher max true-skills and if the same the next priority will be whoever's gamertag alphabetically first.
Hopefully you guys can sort this out like gentlemen but I've just put those rules up there just in case.

There's a strong possibility that the PAF guys won't be able to organize given the late notice and the fact that their thread is down. If this weekend's game doesn't pan out we'll just tentatively reschedule it for the following Saturday. It won't be a big deal because there's always customs to be played.

Still looking to get new films of Ber Ber Creek:

4v4:
Team Slayer
Team BRs
Multi-Flag BRs
 
We should totally play some Quarantine also on Saturday also if you guys don't mind. =]
And with Train Station finally complete, I expect to see it get a few games outta you guys as well.

There should be a rule that you always spawn with a BR in these matches, whether it's primary or secondary, IMO.

Aye, a Neutral Assault and a Slayer on Entrenched, if possible. The CTF game from last weekend was great.

i would be down for that but considering that most gaffers have a fear for zombies it might not happen

GAF feard-ed zomBEHZ? =(

I may have to upload a few films in order to change their mind...

Trust me guys, this is nothing like the crap they have on those Living Dead weekend playlists. This is actually fun.
 
I've talked with the FyreWulf from PAF and rather than summarizing what he's said, I'll just copy his messages, I hope he doesn't mind:

I think it might be doable, I'll ask everyone and see who's going to show up. Although reading from the thread, people should be reminded it's going to be a friendly match - if GAF is just going to stack up with Generals I'm not going to put our casual players through that. Ideally I'd like to see a lot of team rotation on both sides, because a vast majority of TBK players will be from our B team, our A team is out schooling or overtime jobs, and will probably only have 1 or 2 Ateamers. As long as HaloGAF understands that it's a friendly contest and they're literally just going to get a grab bag of whoever is on from PA at the time, it should be good times.

I know many of you just want to flex your BR muscle and prove that GAF has more 4-shotting talent but I think it'd be better if you got that out of your system the first game. Rotate some GAFers that aren't so l33t in and try to even the matches up a bit. Regardless of how you feel about how Fyrewolf grabbing stuff outta this thread, there seems to be some cool dudes over there. Who knows, maybe you guys will form an everlasting friendship and play team doubles until the sun rises. Since their dick admins locked their thread maybe GAF could home these Halo refugees. You guys could also invite them into whatever customs shenanigans are going on.

And it pains me to inform you guys of this after my talk of peace but:
I think everyone will be fine for BR/AR slayer, but we prefer not to play objective with BR starts.

i wouldn't mind being on lesser gaf and would welcome them into our custom night with open arms
they would have to deal with br starts pretty much every time unless it was for atlas though
