Need some help HaloGAF, I recently got a new harddrive (upgraded from 20 gigs to 120), I decided today to pop in H3 since I haven't been on it in a while.
Problem: none of my DLC will load, I've tried the usual to get them to load:
deleting them and redownloading
clearing cache
waiting in the menus
loading a game and then trying to see if the maps load
letting all of my maps load up
but the DLC refuses to show up, I need some help, anyone have any suggestions. I can't live only the regular default maps showing up. No fun sandbox games or matchmaking

Recover your gamertag? That might work.
Killer said:Team Flag should stay on the playlist. Its so much fun.
I'd love to see this become the playlists after ODST comes(with the maps finally out to the public). Also, I've always wanted to post this, but I didn't want to sound too much like I would do a better job than Shishka(I wouldn't, I don't deal well to criticism :lol ).
Ranked:
- Lone Wolves
- Team Slayer
- Team Doubles
- Squad Battle
- MLG
- Team SWAT
- Team Snipers
- Team Flag
Social:
- Rumble Pit
- Social Slayer
- Social Training(Skirmish, but like Social Team DLC with heavier weightings on Flag/Assault)
- Multi Team
- Big Team Battle(Social Big Team, BTB sounds cooler)
- Action Sack
- Double EXP(maybe make Double EXP Weekends into Double EXP weeks?)

Trying that right now.
Revengeance said:
Nooo! I wanna be like Commander Luke Skywalker!
That, and 35 is my favorite number, so it'd be cool to end there.
advent29 said:
If you're replying to my post, I said that it'd have higher percentages(weightings) of Flag/Assault games. I think it already has it now in Skirmish, but I should've said that Skirmish would combine with Social Team DLC.
/end what little amount of ego I have :lol
Oh, and finally, for customs, maybe we can try out the new versions of Barracks and Barracks Open? If anyone does, please say what version is better.

This is sound advice. Although if I recall insta-touch doesn't exist as an option in H3, you can do what MLG does for Narrows and Onslaught.
It also needs to be adjusted not by map size but by players size too. BTB should be a bit longer than a 4v4-6v6 and all the Team Doubles return time should be insta-touch otherwise one double kill is basically a cap.
What I'd suggest is make multiple gametypes that pretty much explain the gametypes and then if people wonder what the gametype settings are they can go on and get them on some Bungie gametypes account they set upm hell you could even make a note of it when people are waiting in lobby, I've seen every note while waiting for games, its a pretty good place to put stuff. Gametypes like BTB CtF, 2v2 CtF, 4v4 Bomb, So on...

just got done going +20 (20K, 1D) in team flag on avalanche. the scorpion's sting was sweet this game.
some highlights:
after taking out a chopper (sorry eazy), my teammate was not very good at getting out of the way of my long-range artillery fire. whoops.
no matter we still got the cap there. later, in round 3...
i had just hopped into my scorpion when i notice a fierce banshee-hornet battle taking place near the cliff.
sadly, my compatriot did not fare well in that fight. but wait! what is that flash of fire in the distance? a BBQ? smokey the bear? no...
...it was swift, swift justice.

Can somebody please join (Cocop?) so that I can start this game?
I would place it like:ZayneH said:
- RANKED:
Team Slayer (Slayer, Slayer BRs, Slayer Pro, Team Rifles)
Team Skirmish (touted mostly by CTF, but sprints of Assault, Oddball, and KotH [KotH Tactics added] -- flag tweaks and other variants [Bomb variant from Halo 2] initiated for certain maps)
Team Doubles (Slayer, Slayer BRs, Slayer Pro, CTF Classic, KotH, Oddball)
Squad Battle (most weight to Multi-CTF and Slayer [BR starts should be mandatory for Squad Battle], doses of Assault variants and Territories)
MLG
Team Snipers (no grenades in both variants; no radar period)
Team SWAT
Lone Wolves (base maps off FFA; therefore no powerups close together)
- SOCIAL:
Social Training (50% Slayer, 50% Skirmish, skipped to next variant if veto)
Social DLC (4-5 player teams square off in DLC maps for Slayer, Slayer BRs, Slayer Pro, Skirmish variants)
Social Big Team (6-8 player per team; mix of Slayer, Slayer BRs, Multi-CTF, 1-CTF, Neutral Bomb, Multi-Bomb, 1-Bomb, Territories; DLC maps are optional)
Rumble Pit (based mostly off Slayer, Slayer BRs, Oddball, and KotH [removed Infection])
Action Sack

So what's the deal with customs tonight? There's a party with about 6 people playing customs right now. And then there's like 10 other GAFers playing scattered in MM and random customs with like 2 people. Where's the epic fun tonight?

Sounds good but I'd keep Social Slayer and get rid of Social Training.

I got so sick of fucking Sandbox, vehicles, and shitty hosts, I want to do some MM now though.

Yee I should, although hosting customs and managing playlists is different so I don't get your comparison.
Besides my Mage Juiced game was awesome, RIGHT! I added Prowlers.
GhaleonEB said:
Kevinro said that. I thought it played decent, a bit too much prowler for my liking but besides that it was fine when the teams weren't 9vs5.
Thanks for testing mah map tonight. Needs some tweaking - Juices was right about needing more cover in the center. I'll have to find a way to do that without enabling people to jump up on top of the center wall. I don't know what the hell was up with the connections tonight...
Sorry to bail early - my wife needed help getting the kids rounded up tonight, and I'm heading to a movie (District 9) in just a few minutes.

Holy crap, just by looking at that aerial view, I can tell that with a little bit of refinements, that could become a classic. How can I download it? I want to try it the next time I have a LAN with my friends.
You know, before I start another map, I decided to give Chimera the loving it deserves.
AKA: Get more movement on it.
If you don't remember what Chimera looks like, here is a vid
First major thing, on 7 on the 7th version, there are rockets at each base. I've deleted 1 and moved them back to the location you see in that video with two more rockets on spawn. On that ledge in the bases are power drainers now, to help defend against ghosts.
In the center of the map, the invis has been moved to the cave area between the bases, and in its place, is a beam rifle. Needlers are also gone.
The last change is I've turned the maulers into shotguns, just to help counter the sword at close range.
Seems the map gets more brutal every time I do something to it.
