I have seriously gotten 2 messages regarding my 6 years of XBL:

"how have u had xbox live for 6 years"

"nice have u had xbox sense it came out??"

And I'm ranked #4 in Trails HD. How much do you think I can sell my account for?

:lol make sure you put that on your gravestone... What an achievement. (shouldn't really make fun of you, I am sure I couldn't come close to #4)

Last night was a lot of fun... I apologize for not doing so hot during a couple games last night... It has been a month since I last played, so I am still a little rusty.

I'll be on again tonight though.

All my 6 does is remind me that I never got the free points for having it for 5 years :(

Also I tried to play last night...was not feeling it...so tired after working out.

I don't know why or how, but ODST's graphics and lighting just shot up like a fucking rocket in this video: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-09-halo-3-odst/50404

Pay close attention to 0:43 during the Plasma Pistol charge. DAMN @ the graphics there, Jesus. I also LOVE the soft, "sadistic" music that plays when you free-roam New Mombasa.

Even though it's the same engine as Halo 3, the artists did a fantastic job pushing it even more and upping the notch on what they can do with Halo's artstyle. :D

Edit: "A lot of non-linear combat around the whole map. Patrol on the ground, snipers on rooftops, you name it, Paul's cooked up some nasty surprises for you."

Yeah, they really did a great job with the current engine for ODST. I'm watching the video now, and it just makes me want to play the game even more.

Oh, and if you hear anyone say that the Prowler sucks, show them this video.

The main reason the Plasma Pistol charge looked different there was because the VISR mode was on. It gives an extra glow to plasma weapons.

But yea, I do agree the game looks nice.

You never asked for an invite. You just told us all that you were going to Hawaii for like 3 months.

So, ten days in Romania and I come back to find some nifty multiplayer footage of new maps on Gamevideos. Anything else I might have missed?

Why were you in Romania?

Why was the video so short...only seconds away from laser doom?
Click to expand...

I can't quite remember what happened because there were two incidents where Dax and I came around that corner in a prowler... one of them we were lasered and the other we continued to circle the map unleashing torrents of blue pwn.

Edit: Actually, it might have been blur that was driving the other time... it was fun nonetheless.
 
Just watched the ViDoc, and I'm probably going to get shot for this, but I'm not a fan of Fillion's voiceover. It just seems devoid of emotion. Hopefully that's not the case in-game.

Something like that :lol Bucharest is a cool city in case anyone was wondering.

Bucharest really is a cool city.
Just back from London. Possibly the best two weeks of my life. 300 students from 40 countries living together for two weeks. Awesomeness.

I did stick in some web time to see that Vidoc, very nice stuff. Would have worked well at the MS E3 conference I think.
 
Hopefully after the Skins game tonight I will be back in Halo form...after a long week of drinking at the beach this whole work thing is making me tired at night and not in gaming form.

:lol Yeah I saw the guy on the mound infront of you...could not tell which weapon he had...but he looked like he wanted blood for his fallen brother ;)
 
Just got done watching the new maps video (yeah I am slow)...but they all look pretty sweet (and the players being recorded terrible).

Midship looks good in the new coat of paint.

Citadel looks pretty cool...reminds me of the inside base from Beaver Creek.

Long Shore...mmm tasty.
 
Super pumped for Midship/Heretic (it even sounds the same). Despite the few remakes that we already have, I think Bungie/MS missed a huge opportunity ($$$) by not releasing a "Halo 1 Classic Map Pack" and a "Halo 2 Classic Map Pack" (6+ maps from each). Then again, Reach will take over in about a year's time anyways, so a final count of 24 Halo 3 maps seems sufficient...

Wouldn't it be cool if Reach featured a TV-like service to where you could watch matches live? I'd put money down that they're working something like that...

Thanks broseph. After about 11 days with no Halo (or xbox) I suck at Halo 3. The controller felt so weird in my hands when I played a game earlier. I've never had that before :lol

This picture never gets old....

- Crooked Halo posters _everywhere_ (and the same Halo Wars poster is on her wall no less then four times...)
- The angle she is viewing the TV from... I foresee neck problems in her immediate future
- One bullet left in the AR
- REALLY HUGE FEET.

:lol

Matches? We don't know anything about Reach yet except for it's an FPS.


What makes you think there will be "matches?"

It reminds me of Midship/Heretic, mostly because of the somewhat multi-layered bases. So I guess if people hate Heretic, they might like Citadel.

Though, I hope I can get some custom CTF/Assault games on both when they come out. Citadel seems like it'd be like Battle/Beaver/Ber Ber Creek by being small, but being good for Team gametypes.
 
I'll be on later tonight, depends if my other friends will play or not, if not, then I would like to join some Gaffer's for some team flag at around 10 est (I work until then). I haven't played with most of you for a long time or even played Halo in a while, I've been spending too much time on Gears 2.
 
Sorry Backflip, I can't connect to your game. =\ My brother has recently messed with my router and I think he's messed it up to where my NAT isn't open. :(

No that doesn't make sense. Halo's AI is based on very complicated behavioral trees with hundreds maybe thousands of different interactions. Perhaps you were playing another game?

Arbiter is a tard confirmed, his Gravity Hammer branch was clipped.

But seriously, he just wouldn't use it, not even when Grunts would run past him wailing.

I still stand behind my theory that the giraffe plush is really a huge sleeve that hides her unofficial Halo double-dong (Chief's helmet on one end, Arbie on the other).

Ah, it's ok pal. My router is a little messed up too (game says it's not open) but it still seems to work fine.

Not sure what you're getting at. It's going to be an FPS and feature a multiplayer beta prior to release. I think it's safe to say that the game will have 'matches' of some sort.
 
Probably because the last few times I've played, it has been a full party. Trust me, there would be no way you could get more than 10 people on any of the map I have out.

That's the way its been when I've joined, as well. I prefer 4v4/5v5 matches, specifically because I prefer that style.
