Lone wolves seems like at least 50% King/Oddball. I'm at 13/22 as slayer games and that's counting many, many vetoes of odd/king. I haven't gotten shotty snipers once. It's sadness. At least Crazy King on Pit is really, really fun. Pit's probably my favorite level right now.
1st lvl: 1h7min, 40 deaths
2nd lvl: 1h7min, 22 deaths
3rd lvl: 59min, 44 deaths
4th lvl: 42min, 13 deaths
5th lvl: 18min, 0 deaths
6th lvl: 1h29min, 32 deaths
7th lvl: 1h05min, 22 deaths
8th lvl: 53min, 43 deaths (And only 30 kills)
9th lvl: 34min, 19 deaths
I really wished the service record tracked campaign stats, I wanna see whether I died over a hundred times to a wraith or turret.

I disagree.
I don't understand the hate. That level is built around a specific enemy. It's going to be different. Flood /= Covenant.

I'll try that. I'm reading that lots of people have found it but don't know how to activate it. I'll proceed through the level and see what happens.Jonsoncao said:

I understand exactly how they work. This one is one of the last two that I need. But Bungie decided to mix things up a little with this one - it's not unlocking the option just by my picking it up. It's a silver.DrBo42 said:

Give it some time. When I started last night I was horrible at Oddball. By the end of the night I had won my first Oddball game ever (after not even touching the ball in one game) and had won a Crazy King and come in second in several others.
I do wish Slayer turned up more. It sucks even worse when people veto a slayer match cause they don't want to play on a certain map and you don't get Slayer again.

Wasn't there a fake skull in Halo 2 too?Cocopjojo said:

It didn't seem like I died 37 times. Most of the deaths came from the last part of the level.

Wait.....do you mean that in a good or bad way?

No, just heroic. I was having ammo problems and getting absolutely destroyed by the vehicle sections. Also the 8th level absolutely raped me on checkpoints, at least 30 deaths could have been avoided. I tried legendary on the first level and I simply didn't have enough Carbine ammo to kill all the jackals and just shrugged and gave up. Why's there no goddamn BR on that level?tissot said:
Haha, I didn't think you could even drop it once. Held onto the first skull for the entire first level and melee'd my way through, and then when you board the pelican the game automatically drops it. I almost fainted.careksims said:

Awesome.
I went to bed last night right after finishing
and was all ready to start
today.
When I got home there was a note on my door saying my power had been shut off because the bill wasn't paid. Having paid the bill ahead of time I was pissed. Turns out they disconnected the wrong house. They'll have it back on by 10PM tonight.
It's 3:30PM
So messed up.

Don't sell yourself short, man. The last one has basically convinced me to save every single Campaign level I ever play, get Bungie Pro and get a screenshot for each one. It's amazing and I was like "I just played that level last night and had no idea that awesomeness was right over my shoulder."

That is pretty messed up. More messed up than my frequent game drops when I'm trying to play online. It's strange; ever since moving to my new place I've had connection problems. It works fine for a little while, then it gets really bad and drops me. I'm playing on a wireless cable connection, with almost all the wireless bars full. NAT (or whatever the hell it is) is open. Anyone have any ideas as to why I'm having these problems?
Man, that really sucks. Hope it isn't hot where you are, it'd suck not having AC. You should just sleep till 10, that way you can stay up late and make up for lost timeButtonbasher said:Awesome.

I think you should be ok on normal. Some people have been saying you can't find them on easy, though.DoctorWho said:

Back up to 207,020 players on the Big Board. Tonight should be interesting. Is there like no urban areas except on the coasts of Australia? And when will Minnesota embrace Halo 3? And has the game launched in Japan yet?

Got my copy from Amazon this morning. Already cleared the first two missions. Pretty cool, not disappointed at all.
I don't get all the "HALO 2.5" talk. Graphics look gorgeous. Maybe not as detailed as GoW, but HALO always had a big, open spaces feel to it unlike GoW.

Frankie, Luke....can you confirm this?
I just finished heroic, noticed one thing. Ammo compared to the other 2 games is SCARCE. I was always low on grenades. Always low on ammo, having to pickup crappy weapons just to have SOMETHING. The power weapons were rare. I can count the number times I had the RL and sniper through out the whole solo game on one hand.
Made the whole game hectic and hated it at first. But then it forced me to adapt to other play styles and make the best of it. Made it better in the end. I realize now it was kinda weird how the old games had piles of nades and rockets everywhere.
Playing through on normal now and having zero difficulties with ammo. In fact there are much less enemies and resistance period. I advise anyone playing through their first time, go heroic.
Edit, oh and for all the graphic whores. They were better then I thought. Presentation in this halo was much better then second.

So what you're saying is that you can only find them on the difficulty you played it, or any difficultly lower than that? Pretty weird, but... it shouldn't really matter. Even if that's true, who's going to go skull hunting on a difficulty higher than the one they beat it on?strange_booj said:
Son of Godzilla said:
That what I said! The game adds LOADS of snipers on the higher difficulties. And none of them are weak. Most can kill you in one/two hits and take loads to bring down.
I remember walking in on that 10 jackal sniper fest with nothing but bruteshot and 20 carbine rounds. Hours of screaming in frustration.
