HBO Version of the Update
HBO Weekly Update Archive
This seems to be slightly behind (a few hours maybe?) the posting of the update, but it is easier to get to on a phone.

I'd try it but Blind and Iron (solo) make campaign absolutely 100% unfun
A friend and I inadvertently played Legendary with 6 of 9 skulls active, it was bloody hard. We did complete Sierra 117, though, thanks in large part to suicide tactics.

Heh - it ranges from 10 minutes to 12 hours, depending on what I'm doing on Friday evenings... and how badly the Bungie.net CMS has hosed the HTML in the update.
(I reformat those manually; sometimes this is a piece of cake and takes 5 minutes, other times it takes half an hour. Add that time to the gap between when the update goes live on B.net and when I SEE it, and you have the delay.

Hah, the map was alright. I'd like to try it with 110% speed and some more cover out in the middle area. Also, the power weapons need to respawn much slower. They were on like 30 seconds respawns for 2 rockets and 2 snipers.Devin Olsen said:

Guess I'm the only one, but I had a great time playing customs last night. (GT: pontifex PRIME) Look forward to more customs soon. Also, I liked the H1 remakes. GG's
Have you played any decent Prisoner remakes? It was posted on this thread month or two ago, and I downloaded it and felt it was very nicely done. Outside Damnation, Prisoner, and Wizard, you can't really make any rightful Halo 1 maps in Sandbox. I think Halo 2's are easier because of the changes and whatnot. A Tombstone remake would be easier than Hang 'Em High, for example, mainly due to gameplay differences and the ramp/air lift.pet said:

I've got really good Prisoner and Damnation remakes. We played Damnation and Hang em High last night.Striker said:
Striker said:
not sure if ive played the one youre talking about, but this is the best prisoner ive seen. ive never been impressed by any damnation or hang 'em remakes so far, and ive seen alot of solid wizards but this one might be the best but i havent played on them enough to be sure. also, i like this derelict remake alot.
anybody who finds any better ones post them!!
Not sure if I'll be able to make customs but I'mma try. If anyone has any of their own maps they want me to add to the list, give me a heads up, don't be shy. And if you find good maps post em and I'll add them to the highlights section.
Customs are generally supposed to start at 6 PST

$10 ... I'm just sayin'. You'll get your monies worth.
So 7PST is when I should fire things up?
Also, where do we report cheaters these days? Was playing an MLG game and ended up talking the most trash to a kid on our own team, who then was kind enough to show us his real "50" gamertag. link
Come to think of it, you could probably ban his entire band of cronies.

That's a given, but Bungie is usually far more efficient at such things.DiabolicalBagel said:

I haven't played Halo 3, I was really disappointed in the single player of Halo 2, and didn't play much of the multiplayer. Should I get Halo 3 because the price is getting better, and some of the features sound really interesting.
t4ng0 said:
Ah ok. Should have checked that myself.
Thunder Monkey said:
Maybe wait for ODST. The campaign is seeming to be most definitely awesome and it will contain all the Mutliplayer maps + 3 new ones. So if you plan on playing multiplayer, especially if you are interested in customs, having all the maps will be essential.

IMO the single player in H2 is by far the worse and barely worth playing a second time. H3 has a very fun campaign and while the story is lackluster it's still a great experience, especially if you can find a friend to play with (offline or online).Thunder Monkey said:
If you're mainly looking to jump into the MP portion, I'd wait for ODST which will have all the MP components as well as what may be an even better campaign not to mention Firefight.

There are plenty out there, but I really did like Halo CE's single player campaign.
