I think I will stop reading this thread now.... oh the urge!!!

 

[electricpirate]

The only reason to post a black bar with no introduction is to just jerk halo fans around. I don't care if it's a real spoiler, it's plain dick.

thank you ignore button.

Hey guys, let's talk about sometihng not spoilery. Anyone have any cool forge ideas?

 

[KBox]

I'm done with this thread too. I'm outta this thread til October. Enjoy the game.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

has it been revealed how death will be handled in 4 player online co-op?

does everyone have to die?

 

[Diablohead]

I will not let this thread die.

You expect this thread to die anytime soon?

let's talk about sometihng not spoilery. Anyone have any cool forge ideas?

CTF variants with some midpoint shelter thats not normally there, and a few weapon replacements to make things interesting, not to any advantage.

I can see it now, people somehow setting up a map so the blue team is somehow unbalanced, the host always going to one side. That or forge setups where its always rockets, ugh.

 

[Zer0]

anyone with the game knows if its region free?

Good question. Answers anyone?

I have been thinking about a vehicle only ctf mode.

Walk speed = 25%
Person w/ flag speed = 100%
Vehicles are invincible
Everybody starts with unlimited rockets
Oversheilds :|
Troop Warthogs


Forgive me for my horrible spelling and grammar.

this thread will not die. trust me i'll do whatever it takes.

I figured it would be handled the same way co-op was handled in Halo 2, with other player(s) respawning when the remaining player(s) is in a relatively safe area. Haven't heard anything official though.

 

[krispyclean]

Ahhh the anticipation is killing me I can wait for the game to come out so I can pick it up and get closure. Man juniors get a bad rap here but rightfully so. Be careful of practically anywhere game related now the spoilers are out there.

 

[The Elite]

This thread is like a battlefield right now.



Whatever happened to the good ol' days.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

with 4 people the game might get insanely easy that way.

I will definitely be playing on Heroic or Legendary if that is the case. I plan on playing co-op with 4 of my buddies

 

[Eric WK]

It's great seeing people who haven't been active in the BWU or other Halo 3 threads over the past six months popping up here to spill spoilers, tell us they've read/seen spoilers or tell us they're surprised people enjoy Halo's story.

GTFO.

 

[JdFoX187]

You just started out on GAF. It would help us alot and it wouldn't really affect you that much.

Are you saying that simply because he's a junior? I don't see anything wrong with them, considering most are level-headed posters. There's only a handful of dumbass juniors I would say.

 

[ferrex]

OMG peoples die in coop? Spoilars.

(When one player dies in coop, he waits out until things are "safe", at which point he'll spawn back in near a teammate. Same as offline system link coop.)

The rest of you need to chill out and/or bail out of the thread now. It's not going to get any better, and past this point you really have nobody to blame but yourself if someone screws up a spoiler tag or just doesn't know any damn better.

 

[OokieSpookie]

Now I wonder how many people in this thread were all "HA HA" about the whole Harry Potter book spoiler videos and whatnot.

 

[FFChris]

Ugh.

Never used my ignore feature, but the four or five of you posting spoilers, welcome to it.

Now I wonder how many people in this thread were all "HA HA" about the whole Harry Potter book spoiler videos and whatnot.

What the... how do Halo and Harry Potter have anything to do with each other?

 

[ice cream]

Are there rocket warthogs in Halo 3?

Long story short, the model geometry that you see is different from the collision geometry that we use for hit detection. The Elite's collision geometry is tighter than the Spartan's, compared to the render geometry, and the old headshottable region was halved in size.

The only objectionable side effect of this is that shooting an Elite in the kisser won't actually be a "headshot" (you need to hit him higher on his head). But I don't think that's going to be an issue in anything but laboratory conditions.

It'll never be perfect, but our goal was "close enough that you felt like you actually had a choice in casual play". I don't expect MLG will be using them any time soon.

Thanks for the quick reply!

 

[brokenwatch]

Even meta-spoiler talk is too much for me. I know way more about it than I would like. :-/

Goodbye, cruel world! (until the 26th)

Harry Potter != Halo 3

 

[MaX_PL]

8000

edit: yes i got it.

 

[SlasherJPC]

Yeah Juniors do get a bad rap around here. Although most deserve it, others like myself and others, are the "cool" juniors.

But I think they need to watch what they post. Some people are getting mighty pissed.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

wait you guys were serious about my online co-op question as being spoilers?

wtf i refuse to believe anyone is that pathetic.

I think he was being sarcastic.

i thought so too at first.

 

[electricpirate]

Hey does anyone know if we can use forge to move (not spawn, just drag) the elephant?


The game is pirate ship battle, this would work with VIP (kill the captain), assault (cannonball!), CTF (Capture the... pirate flag? Still working on that one).

Here's my idea, a section of sandtrap, the two elephants are next to each other, just out of jumping range. The ground between them is covered in fast respawning fusion cores. No weapons on the map except what spawns on the elephant, which is, energy swords, human pistols, maulers and shotties. Along the sides of the elephant are the "Cannons" ie Portable grav lifts.
No Grenades, and a fuckton of equipment.

The only way to get between the elephants is to take a grav lift, this way you get epic ship to ship fighting with pistols, and close up fights with swords and maulers. If the physics allow it, I hope players will toss equipment into the grav lifts to send them onto the other ship. Hence the "Cannon" part, with land mine and enegy drainer cannon balls.

In between the "ships" is shark filled sea. If a player falls into the sea, any other player can "throw some chum in the water" by shooting the fusion cores.

Hopefully you can move elephants to make this work .

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

Im outta' here.
the jr.s commeth

Heh, there was the one fellow who sounded like it, but he edited his post when he realized the mistake.

I, on the other hand, was being sarcastic. Not at you, of course.

 

[BigFwoosh]

Same here, 4 player co-op is going to kick serious ass. That's the first thing I'm hitting up.

 

[Stahsky]

I'm thinking about making a game where there are a bunch of giant crates going across an open field. The point is to make it across the crates VIA jumping on them, as a Brute Chopper is trying to slam you off of them.


Reminds me of the popular Tremors Custom game on Halo 2 that a lot of people played.

 

[Domino Theory]

No, not at all. It's just that a lot of people come here and say "Well that's it, I'm out of this thread. Cya on the 26th" when they never even came into the thread to begin with.

Some people's first posts in this thread is "I'm leaving this thread." .. ??

 

[electricpirate]

Damn Juniors

Ohh wait...

edit: Also, ferrex, in forge can we

A) put Portable grav lifts at an angle to facilitate the launching of things and...
B) Move the starting position of the elephants using forge?

 

[Grecco]

If the Forge system had Map editing i would have redone my Deathball level from Time Splitters 2.

Basically CTF in a football field where the edges are filled with Turrets. Fun times.

But ill definetly mess around with it for a bit.

 

[DrBo42]

Anyone that posts something with spoiler tags I'm just going to put on ignore. Like someone mentioned a few pages back, just blur your eyes until you see a trusted poster and see if the page is safe.

That would be really fun. I would definately play that.

Hardest thing to do so far was deciding who will be MC and who will be the gay purple dude. Also, we planned out who's driving the hogs, and who's grabbing sniper, etc. So far the only thing we had a problem on was the purple dude I call dibs on the blue guy.

 

[3rdman]

Well...I'm checking out of this thread. It's getting far too hairy 'round here so I'll see y'all again next week!

 

[duderon]

Asked my local 7-11 (on Lane Ave. in Columbus) if they were selling the game and the woman at the counter said no. I thought this was a national thing?

 

[subrock]

on the bright side , I am getting really fast at adding people to my ignore list. (I hadn't used it until today)

 

[Domino Theory]

I'm already pre-planning for a Dodgeball gametype on High Ground. It's still alittle sketchy, but once I find out just how customizable Forge can be, then I'll get very creative.

Right now I just have the basics of Dodgeball in my head.

 

[Stahsky]

on the bright side , I am getting really fast at adding people to my ignore list. (I hadn't used it until today)

I can't figure out how to add people on my ignore, and I'm far too lazy to look it up on the FAQs and such.

Am I a fool?

 

[JdFoX187]

No, not at all. It's just that a lot of people come here and say "Well that's it, I'm out of this thread. Cya on the 26th" when they never even came into the thread to begin with.

Some people's first posts in this thread is "I'm leaving this thread." .. ??

I think they were lurking. They read all the posts, but stumbled across potential spoilers, and decided it was time to go. Though posting in the thread just to say you're leaving is stupid. I feel like "who cares?"

 

[Eric WK]

Go to their profile and there's an option to add to ignore list.

im checking out as well

Yup. Exactly.

 

[Brannon]

I'm leaving the forums FOREVAR, part three billion.

 

[Deadly Monk]

Wow I didnt know there was a buddy list, I wouldve added you guys long ago...

But yeah, first time ive ever had to use the ignore list.

Are people still using that list of Gamertags that Ghaleon made to add friends? I've only gotten a couple of invites : (

I need more for custom games with GAF next week!

 

[ferrex]

A) put Portable grav lifts at an angle to facilitate the launching of things and...
B) Move the starting position of the elephants using forge?

a) Yes, but they're nowhere near as powerful as the ones on Valhalla.
b) Nope, they're treated like pieces of the environment. You can edit the stuff on them, though.
