I think I'd still like it if Bungie made a shitton of permutation for Reach, some of which are hard to get, and others as rare as recon. Overall it's fun and if you don't want messages don't wear the things and block communications with those that spam.

I wonder how Bungie feels about Recon and future iterations in Reach. The amount of spam generated from it alone and the frenzy that is recon would be more than enough for me to say "Lets avoid this in the future". That said, Bungie do seem to enjoy dangling the carrot in front of the community.

MS may pressure them to continue the tradition so that at their next press conference MS can boast about such and such messages being sent over XBL.
Half of them being recon related.

You just gave me a horrific vision of a whiteboard in some board meeting room at MS with "Armor perms for space bucks" scrawled across it. Shit.

I was actually trying to say something like that last night while we were Haloing before Cocop cut me off. :(

I want a shit ton of armor permutations, but more importantly, armor permutations for the legs and feet.

Seriously, if I can look like Shredder from TMNT: Secret of the Ooze (one of the best movies ever), then I'll shit myself:

I know how that feels. It's like I spend more time thinking about an individual block's placement than I do playing the map. Drives me crazy.
Click to expand...
Every single block I place has it's own story, and it's usually full of curse words. I've gotten in the habit lately of building a non-interlocked beta of a map to test it's playability, then rebuilding the entire thing from scratch with the necessary merging. I guess it's my form of mortification.

EazyB said:
Wow, that person did an outstanding job with his forgery. The map is gorgeous. I'm a little afraid that the lack of routes onto the top of the middle bridge will make it frustrating, but I'm really looking forward to playing on it.

That is a pretty sweet-looking map. I've had it loaded up for a while, but haven't played it as of yet. There's another incredible BTB map over at Forge Hub called Frailty. Very cool design and plays well for the most part. The major problem with it is that it's incredibly budget-glitched; there's about $2000 worth of objects on the map and I've noticed the (normally forge-only) item flicker when with a large party. Still worth a look, though.

It does not matter if the HUD contains the score, medals, skulls, radar, compass, time of day, weather report, news ticker, Viagara advertisements, top 40 music chart, or Michael Jackson updates.

Quiet, you. Microsoft doesn't need any ideas like this. :lol

lucky Ghaelon. Most of my messages consist of "wow good job modding fag" "omg i'm gonna report yous for standbying" "wow you have no pro's on your friends list nub" "go to an event loser" "if i only played halo 24/7 like you" "get a life" etc etc etc

One of the best ones for me was from a guy I didn't know who randomly joined my xbl party. I booted him, and proceeded to get a "Nice retard bars, BK." message. yay.

I played a game of squad last night and a guy got an invincible with the banshee with 38 kills...I said DAYYYYYYYYYYYYMMMM.

Sounds like a legit BK. Any real Halo player can shit out invincibles while in a Banshee.

That's Citadel in the background isn't it??

Yeah, it looks like it from the screen we've seen.
 
Is that picture from PAX 08 (August 29th timestamp)? Why Bungie didn't start work on more maps when the game was delayed a year is beyond me. Whatever. Just make Team Flag permanent.

Some of my more interesting message of late.

This was immediately followed up with...

I should start saving the messages I get from people thinking I work for bungie.

Well ODST was done at the same time though I forgot Bungie has extremely limited resources. Funded by Microsoft, moving out of luxurious offices into an enormous movie theater complex. Hundreds of employees. Game development is a tough business. I guess it takes more people than I thought to ruin old maps and create garbage like Orbital.

More maps should have been made by outside developers but with Reach coming out next year they probably didn't see the point.

Save Certain Affinity from working on Call of Duty: World at War maps and have them pump out some Halo content. Shit they don't even need to do anything original just have them work on bringing a decent Lockout and Headlong and other Halo 2 maps into Halo 3.

Even if there were more maps in development you know M$ would postpone their release only to bundle them with something like Halo Wars 2.
 
Sorry to break off the conversation but I just found out OuterWorldVoice is Frank. Jeez I had no idea. I thought he had gone awol or something.

Yeah, they're from PAX08. I took them myself. Like someone said in the other thread, looks like Bungie had planned that the MP stuff would be on a separate disc last year. This kind of thing makes me so angry with Microsoft for the delays.

They'll go rarely used in MM, anyways, unless a heavy lift in weight got added for DLC playlists. Plus, if Halo 3 got Headlong, we would probably get Multi-flag, like the treat we received for Ghost Town.
 
It's a safe bet that MM will be requiring all of the maps off the second disc of ODST after a few months of it's release. It actually doesn't make sense not to from Bungie's standpoint.

I would agree with this if they also released the 3 new maps on XBL. But if not, there will probably be a sizable group that has all but the ODST maps.
 
I really hope the new Forge objects in the new maps are straight and don't have weird edges or bumps. Damn Sandbox blocks are annoying as shit.

Keep it clean please.

The Sandbox objects are a lot better than the Foundry objects. Most of the time when something looks like it's been chipped away at or imperfect, it's collision box (or whatever it's called) is indeed a a perfect box.

Anyways, Midship, Citadel, and Longshore don't seem that enticing to forge on anyways. I mean they're no Sandbox.

If Citadel is as good as those from Bungie are saying, then it doesn't need any Forge objects.

I'd imagine that's when they would do it. Then you'd have no excuse. :D

I'm really hoping that Longshore can offer up some cool smaller maps. Going by the original picture, the inside of that warehouse could hold some forging sweetness. *hopes for big, placeable doors* /nofoundryjokes

Not much space to work with in Midship anyway eh? Though tweaks can be made I suppose. Sandbox was the gift Bungie wrapped for all Forgers. I'm just excited to see what Citadel and Longshore look like (beyond the pic or so currently released).

On that note, I finally checked out the mythic map pack the other night in Customs to see what weapons were in there and to find the skulls. I look forward to playing on them, especially with you guys. Only problem is my connection has been horrible lately and I don't know why. Doesn't seem to be the router...I'm thinking something is up with Cox. If I can ever figure this out and get is smooth I'll definitely join in on the HaloGAF action.
