The only thing I don't like about it is that they may be retexturing the Maw cutscene so it's a grassland, instead of the moody, desolate desert. smh.

That group is doing some impressive work.

I assume this new campaign is just for Windows, right?

I'm starting to like this shirt. If you tuck it in just right, it will say FREE HEAD.

Yessir, Halo PC: Custom Edition (Free download for Halo PC owners) required. Halo PC is really cheap in places, though.

Avalanche (which I've noticed is a in a lot of peoples' top threes) is just too damn big. An overload of vehicles destroys it. Should have made other ways to take down Hornets -- one Laser doesn't cut it.

Serious answer, Warthog or Heavy Machine Gun placement do nicely. But only if the other team doesn't have Sniper covering your HMG or Laser to take down the Hog. Avalanche is one giant game of Rock, Paper, Scissors... It'is my all-time 3rd favorite map, but I will agree, most randoms will just fight in the Shotgun/Laser spawn areas.

Does anyone wanna get a BTB squad together? That's my game of choice, just for the maps, but randoms is really testing my devotion to the game.

Yeah. I wasted enough time just staring at it, trying to figure out what the hell it said below the helmet (the "FREE" part is a mess), had to scroll down before my brain exploded.

Ehh, sorry about posting your pic man.. I absolutely DO NOT HAVE a frankie folder on tinypic, nor do I carry pictures of you in my wallet.

Any word on double xp weekend yet?

We usually know; they're posted in the last Weekly Update of each month (for the following month).

July's were posted on June 26.

This week's is Team Control (Heroic/Legendary/Mythic Req).

[Walshicus]

XD no.

I love Galactica. The Wire is better than Galactica.

Spoiler

yours was way more bad-ass, though

backflip, you should try out Cynosure if you've never played it. I really dig the layout, especially for MLG Ball. I'd love to see a map like that on the circuit, but sadly KillaKC has said no to any skybubble maps because of the play ball issue. :-(

As for the Bungie-made maps, my personal view is that the gametypes should be tweaked more to tailor their weaknesses. Most of the smaller maps would benefit greatly if there were no starting grenades, because they're basically power weapons(I'm staring at you, Orbital) in your pocket. The bigger maps could benefit from better secondary support weapons, like Rockets on Standoff to help with the massive spawn-trapping that occurs when a team locks down both 'hogs. Make offensive equipment spawn more frequently to make it riskier for the drivers to maneuver around, etc., etc. Every one of the Bungie maps could benefit from just a few tweaks based on map size to make it more enjoyable for everyone.

 

[ShinAmano]

Can someone explain the playlist ratings...there are grey bars and colored bars what do each represent?

Just how much exp you have relevant to your rank.

An Example, To get to a lieutenant you would have to have a lowest skill of 10 in any playlist and 70 EXP. If you don't ever make it to level 20 (captain rank), and just continue to gain EXP, you'll get bars under your emblem. The gold bars just mean that they've hit the maximum amount of EXP for that rank and can't go any higher until they get to the next skill level in a playlist.

But really, 1st Lieutenant is the best rank there is.

 

[Magni]

Thank you guys. So for every H2 player there's 100 H3 players right now. Then why do both games take the same amount of time to find matches :lol

 

[Kuroyume]

Awful matchmaking

I hope that with Halo Reach Bungie will look at Killzone 2.

I believe he was referring to the playlist progression ratings. I think that the grey bars represent how far along a rank margin you are. (to show how far you are towards ranking up)
For the coloured bars, apart from yellow being ranked and blue being social I have no clue. *ponders*

Edit: If anyone could shed some light on what the coloured bars actually convey that would be brilliant, I've been trying to figure it out for a while.

Thanks...not exactly what I was talking about...

On Bungie site under your service record there is a link for 'Playlist Progression' there are two bars one is grey and one is colored yellow or blue (represent social or ranked) they each 'fill up' but I am not sure what they mean...I assume one is when your progress to leveling up...no clue what the other is for.
