i would never be so shallow, the 8 refers to 8 walls in the octagon-shaped court
it is also an inside joke pointed directly at myself because i have stated elsewhere that, although i use an informal form of posting in forums, i absolutely refuse to use leetspeek and common chat abbreviations - i have never used a "7" where a "t" would go, and have never typed the letters "l" "o" & "l" except in the word lollypop
and. My hat's off to Shishka and the Bungie MM crew. The Grifball playlist is perfect! Thank You.
i've got to go, i will be right back
I have enjoyed your Grifball maps. They def add a nice mix to the game type. The first time the sky one showed up the other team was just betraying each other until the rest of the floor spawned. :lol

I'm working on a Waterworks inspired map. It kinda looks like Waterworks and hopefully will play pretty close to Waterworks. I got some more work done on the middle today. Still hoping to have it done for customs this weekend. And I meant to say "I hope the Banshee isn't overpowered on the map." :lol

Don't get ahead of yourself.:lolKibbles said:I'm surprised Terminal wasn't going to be one of the exclusive maps with ODST, as it perfectly fits the theme. Hey... what if it's a firefight map?Perhaps a night-time terminal?
I wasn't a huge fan of Terminal, but a remake or a Terminal based map would be something to look forward to.

Is that screenshot or a photoshop?Kibbles said:Believe. :lol
That looks awesome. I wasn't a fan of Headlong either, and I would look forward to playing firefight on that, too.

That's really damn good. Thought it was real.Kibbles said:

Dax, I'm surprised you don't like Headlong. It's by far my favorite map of the three games and is an awesome BTB map. It's got a perfect balance of close quarters and outdoor fights, with plenty of room for some epic vehicle shenanigans. Some of the best map design in Halo if you ask me.
Edit: Damn you Kibbles. For half a second there I was ready to jump out of my seat.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but I never really liked Terminal, Headlong, or Turf (something to do with them being Human-based?).Stormtrooper30 said:
It's not that surprising, anyway, I'm usually polar-opposite of what the majority of HaloGAF likes/adores.

I was hoping that Longshore was going to be either a Death Island or Relic remake. I still have a bad taste in my mouth of Headlong from all the super-bouncers.

Baww!
Grifball is a fun gametype to play every now and then, I wouldn't care for a permanent playlist but I enjoy jumping in every few weeks when it pops up.

What did I just read? o.o
Although I don't really understand the need for a ranked Grifball playlist, who really cares that much...
Hmm, so Shishka's gunna test out a ranked Grifball weekend. Cool, hopefully it'll lead to a permanent playlist. Everytime I try the grifball playlist I go against groups of 4 that have THOUSANDS of exp points in grifball and get slaughtered, not fun at all. If those kids were level 50 grifball masters I'd never have to play them.Butane123 said:
And those kids complaining about the lack of skill in grifball, are they afraid it'll undermine current trueskill ranks?
Because trueskill currently means very little anyways with alts and locked in ranks.

Done. Posted "Grifball sucks" over there also.
This is a good opportunity to clarify why it sucks.
1. Team mates. If someone is on my team, it's 100% likely that they will suck and do nothing but continuously try, and fail to spawn camp.*
2. Australian Internet sucks.
3. Hammers don't work on yellow bars, at all.
*Please note that this is pretty much based on the one game I player today

I'm from Melbourne and generally find that I get pretty green games during the Double EXP weekends.
Seems like I can't ever get green bars unless I'm in a party with other Australians.Neverender said:

Man, I just jumped back to the pages on September 24th and 25th of 2007 and it brought back a lot of good memories.
Not from here, because I just joined, but from when I was waiting in line for Halo 3 all day and then once I got it, I went home and played it until 5 p.m for a total of 17 hours.
I drank a total of 1 and half 12 packs of Halo 3 Game Fuel and I went to the bathroom about 15 times lol.
I hope that with ODST and Reach I get the same feeling of excitement and joy near and on it's release. I miss those days where I get really excited for something.

Oh right. Well I never go in alone, I'm usually with a team of four Aussies so maybe that's the key.

Some friends and I (About 10 of us) went to the midnight launch of Halo 3, and afterwards hired out a hall and LAN'd it up until like 1pm the next day. I drank so much Mountain Dew, it was awesome. That was before I'd really played on Live at all, I don't think I would be able to have as much fun at a LAN these days. I'd just want to play matchmaking.
it would be insane* to believe everyone loved GrifballKibbles said:
there are plenty of non-sucky Australian Grifball players, if you were to join up with them as a team you would be more likely pull host for a more satisfying gameuser_nat said:

Lol, I'm kind of the same. Halo 3 Matchmaking with like 7 other buddies at your house is pretty fun though. Just hop on BTB and basically own all day. :lol
Lately though, I've been playing more customs. I guess I just fell in love with all of the cool Sandbox variants that I find over and Forge Hub.

Pfft, imagine if 95% of your games were against players with host in the opposite hemisphere. -__-
