I agree as well!


I forgot why the Flare/Jammer were removed.

Because you can jump off of them. You can do it with a power drainer too, but it will take your shields down like a grenade jump so there is risk in doing it.

I can't think of a single situation where jumping the extra 30cm the radar jammer would be of use, jumping off the flare would be pretty difficult also, considering you wouldn't be able to see a thing at that range.

It really can change the game. It makes jumping to a lot of spots, like on Guardian, really easy. I tried to find youtube examples, but all that came up was people giving tutorials on how to do it. This one has one example though.

Since everyone's rendering videos, I figured I'd put one up too. It's not exactly mine though. I was playing Living Dead one weekend with my two little brothers, and one of them decided to be a douche and betray everyone. Well, that netted him a 35 second respawn time. While he was waiting to respawn, the zombies took out all the humans, so when he respawns, he's Last Man Standing. Then, due to a mixture of boxes, fusion coils, and lag, he achieves something even I still have yet to do in the game.
Wait...Killionaire?

Amazing. :lol the announcer doesn't even say it!

IIRC, people found ways to do an effective double-jump by jumping, tossing them straight down and jumping again. It broke a few maps. I was hoping it would be one of the issues addressed in the updates, but alas.

They could've kept the Flare and Radar Jammer in maps like Last Resort, but ones like Narrows and Guardian, it made sense to take them out.

This. Valhalla, Sandtrap, Sandbox...

Edit: I had a lot of fun on a territories game I just played on Avalanche. We tied it up, even though we were down three guys, and the only reason we didn't get the fifth territory is because I lost the Banshee:(. I think it's about time to increase the weighting (if only just a tad) for Territories.
 
I tweaked my map Drydock. I removed the sniper rifles since people could scamper off into the dunes with them and become pests, I added cover to the sides, and I moved the vehicles around.

Link

I'm on right now if anyone needs another teammate. GT is same as my GAF name.
 
Well, the GAF Halo 3 tag is still full on friends so perhaps it would be easiest to just add a few of you directly. Actually, I suppose it would suffice to add one person who has the GAF tag on their list and I can just use the friend of a friend feature eh? Dax, Ghaleon, Eazy, Domino...anyone with that tag on their list willing to accept a friend request? :D

Yeah, you suck. You didn't even get an Overkill that game.

Yeah, sure, go ahead.
 
Another thing, we need more Avalanche.

Rarely get it and when I do it's pretty much always fun. Easily my favourite map in the game.

IIRC FoF doesn't allow you to go two layers deep.

I actually thought about that right after I posted. Well, I can at least send requests to a few of the guys on here that play regularly and hope that room is made on the GAF tag in the future.
 
Alright, I've been thinking about this for a while now, and since my FR to GAF Halo 3 has been in limbo for more than a week, along with a shitty BTB weekend, I'm going ahead with it.

I've created another GAF gamertag: HaloGAF BTB. As the name implies, this is for Gaffers who are interested in playing BTB.

Why've I set it up like this? Well, when I was on Gaf Halo 3, I would get plenty of game invites, but I really wasn't that interested in playing Action Sack, or Team SWAT, or what have you. Consequently, I was removed from GAF Halo 3. I think more playlist oriented meta-gamertags could help us play our favorite playlists with like-minded Gaffers.

So please, anyone interested in playing BTB, give HaloGAF BTB a friend request. I vow to maintain the friends list multiple times a day.

I'll send this tag a FR as well. BTB matches are good times and with a fun team, great times. Ghaleon, this tag is looking at you!
 
...and I'm back. What's up everyone? I just got in today, I had an amazing time in Europe. I'm sure I missed a bunch of shit, anyone care to fill me in on the shit I should know.

- Bunch of new juniors (some of whom are now members).
- Look on the last couple of pages for several awesome videos.
- Entrenched and Neosho were added into matchmaking.
- Ber Ber Creek was in the 7/7 playlist (which was the BvW playlist but ten more maps).
- New ODST ViDoc, here.

FR sent. I'm a little tied up at the minute on xbl. A friend of mine just picked up a 360 so I've been playing a lot of Left 4 Dead with him, that said I'd love to get in on some BTB action.

You say that like it's a bad thing :D

Juices was hired by Bungie to be Shishka's Overseer/Manager.

I was then appointed the official title of "GOAT" by Juices to remind everyone of my awesomeness.

Hey sexxxxy, wanna play some Haloz 2nite?

What is the other Halo 3 GAF account?
GAF Halo 3 is one operated by Fin but I'm not exactly sure if he keeps up on it. I think someone said it was full. That's the main one I think.

HaloGAF was the original but I think it was started by some ignorant fuck who may or may not post on GAF anymore. Hate that fucking douche, can't remember his name. I think dax liked him. Don't bother with that tag.

I really like the map too, and I don't get it often enough in BTB. And the unfortunate thing is that most of the time when I do get it there, it's Heavies. Playing Neutral Assault or Multi Flag there is awesome, but not when you have to worry about being lasered every other step.

Wasn't that metatag run by Omlet? :lol

He created a tag when he was gathering content for the NeoGAF Bungie Favorites. Don't think the tag was for anything else really.

Edit: And the tag was "GAF BFC" or something weird like that.

I've yet to receive spam/phishing on XBL yet. Yay?

I get it all the time now, the ones I usually get are ones telling me to check out some dude's youtube channel for how to make XBLA point codes.

David Ellis is going to play some ODST tomorrow. He hinted about video before on his twitter. Hmm, that doesn't mean we'll get anything tomorrow though. Thursday maybe? I wish people could be specific on when the embargo ends, now I'm going to go crazy.
 
I personally don't think I need to see much more of ODST. I feel like there aren't many surprises left, except maybe for Super's holographic aspect that they'll probably save for the final game if they show him like that at all.

I'd like to see some Longshore, Citadel, and Heretic gameplay.
 
Maybe this is old news to GAF, but have you guys seen Operation Chastity? Some film-buff Halo-fans have been trying to gather enough money to film their own Halo movie.
With the insane amount of legal issues surrounding a Halo movie, I doubt they'll be able to make it, but they have some really cool concept art (and a WIP warthog).


Sidenote: Is there a 'click-to-show-picture' code on NeoGaf? This picture is pretty megahuge.
 
Evenin'. How did you guys spend your night?

I spent mine trying to do some serious geomerging for the first time. I've done two maps that dabble around the edges - a block here and there - but this one is going to require a dozen or so. I'm five blocks in, and this stubborn bastard won't go down any further.

aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggg.jpg


If anyone would care to take me by the hand and gently lead me down the path to figuring out how to hammer that sucker down in the next few nights, I'd be grateful.
