Fair enough, you probably have your hands full with all those Bungie podcasts in the oven. Still a shame however.LukeSmith said:
I made some changes to my Crypt map with loads of vehicles in it. I added a couple of ramps for the ghosts as they are jousting it out and I also added a kill ball up in the sky as a hazard for the Banshees.
One thing I can't seem to change though, despite the many changes I make is that my map plays like shit. Needs more Prowlers I think. Oh also, before I forget, the map is called Car Park and I am working on the game type 'Top Gear'.

Never seen this happen before...
1 Bomb, The Pit, Social Skirmish with randoms.
End of the round...
...this guy picks up overshield.
Next round starts and he's still got it.
2 overshields for the blues and the dance party begins.
Is this a well known done thing?
The red team had it bad enough. Link to the game.

I hadn't even thought of that. It hasn't been confirmed if the Flood will or won't be in Firefight.GhaleonEB said:
It could be a reward for getting really far into a game.
I've finished both bases on my Waterworks inspired map. I still have $195 left in budget and a bunch of original pieces hanging around so I should have enough left for a big structure in the middle. Here are some shots of one of the bases (they're exactly the same):
From the middle of the map with a Spartan for scale:
The inside (I haven't placed the flag and bomb points yet):
From the back (The cutout in the wall on the bottom right is for either a missile pod or a rocker launcher, I haven't decided yet):
The Banshee is the only vehicle I've placed so far. I'm probably going to have a Warthog and a Chopper on the ground in front of the Banshee and maybe a Mongoose on the right side of the base. I'm not planning on having any tanks and I've done away with the infantry paths on the sides of the map where the rockets were. The structure in the middle will probably be the biggest departure from Waterworks. I'm planning on keeping 3 vehicle paths through the middle but I'm going to turn the spaces in between them into infantry paths.

Ooozer, how is the scale of your bases on the main level? I tried making a waterworks inspired map before but fell way short. There just isn't enough room on the flat middle floor. I also tried to build the bases out in the dunes but then I just got frustrated at how lumpy things were since I don't know how to geomerge. :lol good luck with the map.

Okay, so I'm no Ghaleon, but it was a hell of a match, and I had a real blast. Didn't think I was going to, at the start... My team came out shooting. At me.
Action Sack, 2 Flag Shotties, Orbital.
That's enough to boot the jerk. (Well, one of the jerks.)
THAT was enough to boot the other one.
So now it's 4 v 1. There's pretty much nothing I can do but try and keep them from getting my flag.
(Around about here, one of them quits. Now it's 3v1.)
The three remaining guys start working together, and two get away while one stays behind to make sure I don't follow.
I kill him, though... and then...
They score. ::sadface::
Stepped up my game... and another one decides he's wasting his time, and quits. Now it's 2v1. This is doable!
I'm thwarted a couple of times, but with just under a minute to go, I grab their flag and head back out. There's someone waiting for me, though... I hadn't seen him.
Respawn, kill both defenders... the flag's still there!
I take the upper (Rockets) route... and one gives chase on a mongoose. So I jump the pit, and he loses valuable time getting OFF that mongoose.
It started as 4v1 CTF... and I ended up tying the game. I count that as a win. :lol :lol
[side note: I'm wearing Elite armor because I'd just been given a really hard time for the combination of Recon the 'Pro' symbol next to my name... and this was the easiest way to decrease that combo. I normally wear Spartan armor.]

I'd be fine with that, but I hope(and am pretty confident, hopefully) that Bungie keeps the Flood out of ODST(and Reach).
Oh, and I really love the fact that one of the people that you faced against Louis had the gamertag "xIT SUX TO B Ux". Irony, perhaps? :lol

Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
Wow, had much of a ball playing online tonight. This might be the first game I've played using chat with the exception of Warhawk. I'm a n00b at online FPS. Should I download the map packs?
you can get a good variety of playlists without buying anything (social slayer, social skirmish, squad battle, mlg). so i would probably hold out until odst comes out because thats going to have all the maps.Darkmakaimura said:
EDIT: beaten
i really should refresh the page before i reply

(To be honest, that was primarily out of guilt for a comment made not 24 hours earlier in a series of SWAT games with Cocop and his brother - We won about a dozen straight, and near the end I said something like "the best part is that we're doing this as Spartans."
When I looked over the pics I'd taken, that comment came back to me - and I felt I had to address it (even though only one reader here even had a CHANCE of having heard it.

@Oozer, nicely done on the Waterworks bases!! I can already imagine getting shelled by a wraith as I camp next to my flag! Although I don't know that a Wraith would work too well on the remake/re-imagine because it would make it really easy to shell the other base from yours (since the proximity is smaller).
@Wu, Great game. I am teh sux with stickies, so I'd never would have had a chance. ActionSack is always a fun place to make triumphant comebacks like that. Earning that "Pro" tag I see

Wow, there are some very nice jumps in there! The top-to-top Sandtrap Chopper jump looks particularly useful, if you can pull it off consistently. (The grenade jump was cool, but not really useful in a game.)NOKYARD said:

Got killed by a cone in a game.
My teammate shoots the fusion coils, causing the cone to go flying.
I have to face the consequences.

Awesome. I've got to try that mongoose jump/ramp into the Valhalla bases. That seems very useful.NOKYARD said:

Whoever hasn't tried the CMT SPv2 beta, should go download it and give it a go now, I just finished it and it was pretty sweet.

I remember them saying something about trying to port it to xbox. I doubt they would do it though because only one person has the program that is needed to do it. It would give me another opportunity to bring out my old modded xbox. That way I could play co-op.
this post does not support xbox live modding, doing so will get you killed, that is all

Well, I was just offering advice because it seemed you still were miffed that the dude signed his posts.KevinRo said:
Believe me, it annoys the hell out of me too, and he and I actually had a few PMs a while ago back and forth in which I asked why he was doing it. He never really gave a satisfactory answer, only repeating "it's what I've always done, and I did it at first to set myself apart from another BB guy when I was on a forum." Which doesn't really answer why he still does it and repeatedly does it while others ask him to quit, but I gave up on trying to understand and just put him on ignore so I don't have to bother seeing it ever again.
Anyway, was just trying to help. I don't care that I may miss out on his occasional posts he puts effort into. If he can't bother stopping the signatures, I don't have to bother reading them. Simple as that.
Nice story, Wu, can't believe you managed to tie the game.
And Dax, I love those random deaths by weird things flying around. I saw a video of something like that when Halo 3 first came out, I thought it was hilarious. Or the ones where someone kills himself with his own sniper bullet ricocheting around.
The weirdest one I personally did was on Halo 2 PC when I first bought it. Hopped online, played on Lockout. Somehow I got a Splatter medal on a map with no vehicles. The only thing I could think of was somehow I sent a fusion coil flying and it hit someone on the map, thereby earning me a Splatter. I don't know if that's common in Halo 2 but I'd never seen something like that before. Don't know if all deaths by UFOs count as Splatters in that game, but I thought it was amusing.
