Is there a 'total game time counter' anywhere?
I'd love to see how much time I've spent in 3 already.

Stinkles, cheers that worked.
Oh god, spent the whole afternoon mp'ing. For some reason I love the mp in this one waaay more than Halo 2. I mostly got slaughtered in the 50 or so Halo 2 matches I played, but in this one I can keep. Not that I win, but in stuff like Team Slayer I can contribute enough kills to make a difference. Also the basic training mode is a godsend for people who need to train their triggerfinger and tamper with the sensitivity. Damn, I love this game.
OK guys well I've tweaked the DDay Strom the beach map
(also but a quick & dirty CTF and Bomb on [untested]).
Tried to keep it WW" style so no teleporters or grav lifts.
Let me know if anything needs changing or even edit it yourself for your own version.

I do like, rated 5*
has anyone had any problems with melees not registering at certain points? yesterday i was playing in matches and i'd go to melee someone, no animation would occur, nothing and we'd both still be alive. it go so bad at point that i could keep hitting the buttons and it just wouldn't happen at all.
other times it seems to work flawlessly. i couldn't figure out the issue as i wasn't reloading when i'd hit it.

:lol Experienced my first Sword vs Sword duel last night on The Pit. Me and this one guy hit each other at the same time and our swords hit together, causing a cancellation. It was like an epic duel. Then we both hit each other at the same time again, but this time, I think it was glitched, so we ended up going right through each other.
I'll try to create a clip of that moment.

I think I just realized I don't like the maps.
Construct and Guardian are major meh. The Pit is a mix of good and bad. Narrows is barely worth mentioning. I haven't got a chance to play Sandtrap outside of messing around in Forge.
Epitaph and Snowbound can be good, but they don't reach the awesomeness of Lockout of Chillout. Last Resort is an improvement, but I didn't like it all that much in H2, and I would have preferred a different remake. High Ground and Valhalla are probably my favorites.
Isolation makes me pissed off just thinking about it. It's such a mess of a map. The trenches are not well set up at all and being above the ground is like a contest of who can shoot a BR and not be disoriented. The vehicles are absolutely worthless and pointless. The worst part is that IT'S ALL THAT EVER COMES UP IN TEAM SLAYER.
I can live with the mediocre maps if they just fix matchmaking so it's not the same shit over and over. I NEED VARIETY.
Outside of matchmaking I've been having a lot of fun. I wasn't a Forge believer, but today I created an infinite exploding pile of shit. Put assloads of fusion coils and propane tanks in one place, throw in some pallets and a forklift or two, and put 2 or 3 graft lifts under it all, and you've got an infinite exploding shit-flinger. We've been trying to get Oddball to work with it, but for some reason the spawn point for the ball isn't tied to the ground and can fly anywhere.

hey guys
hope you can help or give some advice. I have a problem where my 360 can no longer load the guardian multiplayer map. I get a wonderful failed to load content and high lighted like a loser lol
I have done the maintance code on harddrive but makes no difference, the disk is not scratched in anyway (legendary pack) and it sounds like the disk stops spinning at about 15% of loading it.
Weird thing is, I take out the harddrive and load the game just with the memory card and the map will load, so the problem is obviously the harddrive / map cache combo.
Is there anyway to delete the map cache from the harddrive? I remember on halo 2 all the maps files wuz cached to the y drive or whatever when the game was loaded but then they got binned when you played something else... hmmm actually gonna try loading another game now see if that fixes it... FAIL. No difference.
What can I do??

Okay, I'm pissed. This is so annoying.
So I was playing H3 and yes I havent beat it. I'm very slow. Playing Warhawk. Anyways, so I passed that level where I had to neutralize the cannon and some nex blue orb pops up in the sky then I saw Cortana and bla, bla, bla...
So the next level was about to start I suppose then I get this message "your cd can't be read" or something like that and then I cleaned it and went to resume the solo game, and I started all the way back. Like, holy shit. WTF?!?!
Is there anyway I can revert to where I was?
And the best part is I just got the damn game. It's a brand new game. WOW. I just hope it doesn't happen to me again.

Hmm, I respectfully disagree. I'm really enjoying the maps. After all these these years of fps games I'm actually surprised that Bungie has created some really interesting, unique maps. Whenever Isolation comes up, it gets vetoed 99% of the time. I personally enjoy it. I agree, it's a bit of a crazy mess but that's what makes it so fun
The one map that is really starting to piss me off is Construct. It's basically a race - whoever can go up the beam & grab the sword first wins. Then your team goes up and camps with you.
Shotty Snipers comes up way too much for my liking. Also, in about 40 ranked matches so far, I've only seen Gaurdian maybe 5 times. I've never seen Valhalla.
I love the party system but god do I wish sometimes I could just join a room that's set on a specific map.
If anyone who's had a matchmaking problem can chime in, it'd be lovely.
Basically, I can't get any matchmaking to work. My NAT is open and am connected wirelessly to the router. (DSL)
I go into the matchmaking lobby and start it up and basically it just sits there with NO GAMES FOUND. Odd thing about it though, is that once I join someone else's party I can matchmake fine with them as the host. =/

I'm also a big fan of all of the maps, except Isolation.

Isolation is really good in Team Objective. On there it's normally on Territories.

I can't stand Construct. It's just too vertical and the main elevator is too prominant. I always feel like anywhere that isn't camping near that elevator is exposing myself and missing out on the action.
Also most the sandtrap games I've played have sucked.

Who ever thought up the Flood turret things needs to get fired. They too accurate and take too much damage. It's completely ruining the

HE'S ALIVE!?
Finally completed it on Legendary. Tsavo Highway was the most difficult one for me...until I managed to get 2 of my marines equipped with Fuel Rods (quite a few spares were lost under the mountain of Phantom rubble they left behind) so they went on a general pillage of everything.
Cortana was a bitch though and I would usually have to make mad fucking dash runs through entire sections.

Wow, Xbox.com is still having problems, and b.net is still taking a while to get screenshots uploaded? I figured they'd go back to working properly when the Three Free Days of Gold ended. This is pretty wild.
Lolz, Halo 3 is killing Live.

Is there any reason I wouldn't be able ( or shouldn't ) find the Thunderstorm Skull on Legendary? I know where it is supposed to be, however when I fly there with a hornet there is no skull to be found. Has anyone else had this happen?
*edit - I've gotten skulls 1-6 and 9, just missing 7 and 8
