Man I am so freakin tired right now. I'm getting old! I don't play H3 for the past few weeks to get ready for my move into my new place and I jump into Bungie vs. The World playlist and end up laying till like 4AM right after I get the 360 set up. :lol

Man now I'm never gonna find which boxes hold my clean clothes today! LOL :lol

BTW, Longshore looks cool with its double decked outer platforms.

I like how the pizza is decimated, the fruit plate looks untouched.
 
Just noticed this on bungie.net:

One year of Bungie Pro is 750 Microsoft Points. Additional minute packs (10 render minutes each) cost 100 Microsoft Points (coming soon!).​
Seems reasonable to me. A couple packs and I'll have my saved clip backlog worked off.

I posted one up a bit, but the last batch from my renewal this morning:

It's Busted: I climb into a tank that suddenly doesn't work so well. Turned out to be the safest place to hide for a moment.

You're Mined: I did a picture post on this one a while back, but it's still one of my favorite moments.

Happy Hog: Sort of a companion to the first one. Someone wants my 'hog, and I was happy to let him have it.

Nothing spectacular in the above, just moments that made me laugh.

Hah, thinking on your toes there.

Has anyone attempted to solve the puzzle on Bungie? It takes a little bit to get, but if you paid attention in English class you should be fine.

Is anyone playing right now? I need a 4 man team to go into the playlist with. I don't want to be lonesome.
 
Citadel picture reminds me of Beaver Creek. Long Shore looks like the kind of map I'd love; big with open and enclosed areas. Midship remake does nothing for me - I hated the original - but the skybox should be nifty!

Totally agree

After playing 30 straight fucking minutes of Multi Flag on Colonnade I can accurately say that not only is it a terrible map but it is the worst map that I have ever played on. Shishka, you have outdone yourself by allowing this utter piece of shit into the Bungie Day playlist. My hatred for you has increased tenfold.

You may now rage.
 
GAF: We want more community maps you asshole!
Shishka: Here's a playlist of community maps taken from the most promising of those that met the fairly rigorous Atlas submission standards.
GAF: OMG these maps suck you asshole!

Backflip, stop posting right after playing. Or take a sedative. It might do ya some good.

Man I fucking love Colonnade. I hate smashed, but Colonnade is awesome.

I 100% agree, I got your inv too but I'm playing with another party so sorry.

Every map is pretty decent and fun to play (some more than others), and this playlist definitely kicks ass with a massive collection of community maps making a matchmaking debut. A community playlist definitely needs to be in regular rotation.

That said, Colonnade is an abomination. I'm pretty sure Satan himself forged the map from the fires of Hell and snuck it in the playlist somehow.
 
meh too much AR starts, in that shitty excuse for a playlist, I woulda just picked the best H2 remakes threw them in a playlist AR/BR starts. See I made a better list in 10 seconds.

Well too many people in that playlist, If Bungie ever wants to rematch then lets set it up, but until then your win was just a sham and you know it.

Have you played Colonnade? Honestly, I don't think that you can shush me before you play it. The level design is horrid and even looking toward the center structure slows my box down so much so that I can't even aim or shoot. It's ridiculous how anyone even considered putting the map in the playlist.

That said, I enjoy most of the maps in the playlist. The only map that I really abhor is Colonnade. Perhaps one of the most surprisingly fun maps was Stonehenge. I really had low hopes for it but it turned out to be quite fun with BR starts.
 
This playlist is such a waste of time. The only people who will even get the chance to play Bungie are people on the West Coast and close to Washington. I've spent the last 2 hours playing and I can't help but feel that I could have done something much more constructive with my time.

And I have to disagree with some of you; all of the maps I've played are terrible and I think its safe to assume that the others are of a similar quality. I would have preferred standard maps and gametypes or at the very least proven Sandbox variants. Foundry could be pulled entirely from Halo 3 matchmaking for all I care.

Just trade the game in bro!
 
We played Colonnade back to back too, and while the first time was pretty horrible, the second game was an epic stalemate that ended with a flag race to both bases (that we lost). It's by no means the worst map in the playlist. Favourite that I've played so far is Chimera.

Just think of all the constructive things you could have done with your time instead of posting that here.
 
Maps look so beautiful; really excited for September (although I'm sure the maps won't be the only thing in my mind come September :D).

Anyways, I found this video from N4G. Apparently a Bungie employee, Will, is an animator on Reach right now and posted his animation demo reel on YouTube for everyone to see. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean the animations you see in the video are exactly what they'll be like in Reach, but it's safe to assume there will be some similarities.

Edit: Fuck, he removed it! Guess he R got caught. :lol

removed!
 
Someone go check on Will. I have a feeling the ninjas got him. :(

My back is acting up, so I'm heading home early. Which means I'll be able to hop online a bit earlier to dip my toes in the playlist. And put the finishing touches on my current map.

Right, I'm going to get a better Xbox so that I can play a shit map in a playlist that is only going to happen once. Yeah, ok...

*shrug* Map runs fine for me.

Also, someone's gamertag is ODST Buck. Cool :D

2 hours versus 2 minutes. Big fuckin' deal.

And I recall Ram complaining a lot about Halo 3 and matchmaking back when he used to play. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. ;)
 
Is it me or are the Foundry maps HEAVILY weighted. There are like 2 of them but I've played them 75% of the time. I wanted to play on some Chimera!
 
What is the weighting on Colon? I expect a couple of shit maps to be in this playlist but having to play one shitty map over and over again is ridiculous. Out of the 34 games I played 8 of them were on Colon...
 
Cllonade is the worst map ever forged on this earth. It's God awful. Whoever designed that shithole deserves to be shot a buried with Hitler. I must have the worst luck also, as I only played like 7 different maps (3 times on Collonade) in the 3 hours that I have been playing. I thought there wer elike 30 maps in the playlist?

There are way too many AR start games in the rotation aswell. Community forged maps seem to put a shitton of power ups and power weapons, but fail to place more than 4 BRs on a map. WTF?

As for the new maps with ODST, I can't wait to play Longshore. It seems to give me a big Headlong vibe. Not that it looks like it, but the possibility to have vehicle battles and CQC will be great. Midship remake is cool, can't say that I loved the original, but it was good. Citadel looks really boring. Looks like the Elevator parts in The Ark. Very blah.

Dude, you come in here every few months and tell us how burnt out you are of Halo and yet you still play. You're fatigued, we get it. I hate a lot of the decisions made by Bungie for MM, but I am not burnt out on the game by any means.
 
Bungie Pro info

Bungle.net said:
Details, Details…

* Bungie Pro Video lets you take your Halo 3 Films Clips (or anyone else’s) and turn ‘em into videos you can watch on any computer with a player that supports the WMV format
* Bungie Pro Video comes bundled with Bungie Pro at no extra charge
* Your rendered videos can be viewed by anyone on the web and saved to your local hard drive
* Bungie Pro Video users will automatically be granted five (5) render minutes per month, awarded on the day you purchased Bungie Pro (or at month’s end in the case a date falls on the 31st.)
* Render minutes granted via this monthly method will NOT roll-over month-to-month—you gotta use ‘em or lose ‘em
* Additional minute packs will soon be available through the in-game Halo 3 Media Menu/File Share for 100 Microsoft Points each, they do not expire and DO roll-over from month to month

Me said:
$1.25 per minute (SD) and $6.25 per minute (HD).

But as a Bungie pro subscriber (costs $9.40 a year) you get 5 free points per month ($75 value)!

Overpriced. 100 points per render point? Get real. They need to find a better way of doing this shit if it really costs them that much to render a video.

Ghaleon, if you invest in these points I'll never forgive you.
