Yeah, I was trying to kill the flag carrier but warthog and another guy were focusing their fire on me.

The "Win Win" clip is from that game.

You should make a clip of that final kill on Assembly where it was 49-49 and you absorbed four grenades and a full AR clip and basically got thinner and stronger.

Couple of shots with the main cannon would've taken care of things. No need to risk yourself getting stuck by trying to ram someone.

One day you may discover that it's oftentimes more important to man up and ram in head first. It's about going balls out; a well executed splatter is a wonderful thing. And if you can splatter 3 or 4 people at one? More power to ya.


And don't worry, little Dax, in my experience, one rarely "gets stuck while trying to ram someone."

the problem with that is the size of the ground floor.
when you block the lasers the amount of space you have is ridiculous (i think its the size of the skybox) a map wouldn't work because of the amount of space you have to move around in.

Yeah, it's enormous and I can definitely see why that would be somewhat problematic when it comes to playability with 16 people. I think the reason I think it could be done is because of experiences I've had with the Battlefield franchise, particularly 1942. I know Battlefield has more players per match, but I think the play area is considerably larger than Sandbox in most if not every single situation and combat flows fairly well.

I think if you put a ton of vehicles on the map, made their respawn timers significantly shorter, start with battle rifles and have a focus on certain heavy and ranged weapons with flag and bomb gametypes, it might work well if its Forge-work integration is spread out. You would really have to focus on a larger volume of smaller and simplistic structures than the typical map which seems to include half a dozen massive or at least complex structures.

For example, a segment of the map could be a "forest area" where each tree represents maybe one or two pieces of geometry and takes probably a LOE total of 3-5 minutes, but the clustering formation of 25-35+ objects together creates and interesting playspace. Or maybe the map has two bases and a large collection of bunkers, depots, waystations with a slew of vehicles and spawn points at each -- all networked by teleporters. I think the biggest problem would be the amount of time it would take to flesh it out.

that was awesome
 
Saw this over on that one guy's Bnet blog. Don't know if these are old but they're incredibly funny so you guys should check em out.

IWHBYD lines:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

Not sure if it's just that I haven't played the campaign much with that skull on or not, but almost all of the lines were new to me. It's incredible how much unique dialogue they recorded for Halo 3.
 
"You killed Flipyap!"
"Or Yapflip was he...it was Yapflip."
"No, Flipyap was his brother."
"Don't tell me I don't know Flipyap! Flipyap and I went to Nipple Academy together. And now he's dead!"

Ok, so the maximum party size in Team Control is 4 yet we still get split up? FFS Shishka, FFS.

Actually it's not. That's a bug in the description string. Max party size is 8.

Figured I'd mention that before I blocked you for the rest of your post. =)
 
^ Damn, hot stuff. :D Beautiful.

Sorry to repost this, but I swear to god, every time I post something relevant or interesting it is the very last post on the page.

Just finished my first video with the blackmagic intensity pro. Absolutely amazing video quality, love this thing!

Amazing work! That video pretty much exemplifies why I love Halo as much as I do.

Yeah, it was a dick post but still man. We ask for the same damn thing and are ignored every damn time. It doesn't seem like an outrageous request to be able to play with your own party on the same team.

Could you please turn social party splitting off? We are OK with the extra wait time I promise you. It far outweighs the shiftiness that is being split up.

Music was excellent.

I know. My friend and I are horrible people for taking advantage of StandOff's spawns like that.:lol

Fantastic video, wasn't what I'd consider OTT, rather just 'fun'.

Makes me miss it even more :(

Wish I had a capture card (or a couple hundred Butube points) :(

Looks amazing.

Best hijack I've ever seen.

Best one I've seen on film is two Hornets going at it in the out-lands of Avalanche, and one person drops from his Hornet and hijacks the other, basically dropping him into his death and stealing his machine.

I would put it into my File Share for view, but no 360 at the moment. >.>

Kevin Ro did the same thing on Valhalla with Banshees. He dropped out of his on top of the other player and hijacked it. It was incredible.
