Im about to play through it again on legendary.

Overkill, triple kill with sword, and reboarding you're boarded vehicles. These last three are going to be really tough. I must of died 30 times trying to reboard my vehicle after I intentially let them board me.

I've reboarded a boarded vehicle, but no achievement. I even have the saved film. Tear. = (

Anyway. Swords match last night. Hilarity. I won 25-2(2?). It was very close. I made a screenshot. Enjoy.

uhh i played from level 6 through 9 and accessed all terminals and no achievement, wtf.

Amidst my screwing off today I found some dialogue about people saying that you need to access the last terminal on both Legendary and Heroic. Maybe someone else can confirm this.
 
I see to get a Lieutenant rating, you need to have 70 EXP and a skill rating of 10 in a ranked playlist. Now, do you need to currently have a 10 rating in a ranked playlist, or just have achieved 10 at some point in order to unlock the Lieutenant rank? I notice that they keep track of both. I ask because I'm not especially good, but I've gotten lucky lately and achieved a 10 in lone wolves. Should I keep playing and risk being dropped down in rating, or not worry about it because the game knows at some point I did have a 10?

negative

make sure when you access them you let it sit until it tuns red and then it will move t another yellow hex

if you exit befor ethis it wont count
 
Luke implied that the terminals had to be accessed in one continuous save - meaning you cannot visit the individual levels just to access the terminals...you have to play through the whole game.

They have to be accessed on the same difficulty.
 
OK Rocket Race is cool, so is king of the kill with Hammers but why does every single GAF custom game I join have to be them.

I have yet to get a game of infection going :(

King of the Hill with hammers, you've played Insane King tonight? I didn't start it :lol
 
I need help tonight. Can anybody join me for a party of ranked Team Slayer like at 9:00pm. Yesterday I found too many trolls and my games didn't go that well. So if anybody wants to play today please send me a message around that time. Thank you guys.

As long as you win alot, it doesn't really matter how many you play.

I finally found my rhythm the other day so I've def. been off to a slow start.... but even still I've played 1/3 as many matches and no-where near as much campaign as he has. I must say I'm impressed. I'll prolly top out around 30 though.

Absolutely. Just lemme know.
 
OK, what the hell. All of my films in theater mode are gone. Any ideas? I wanted to go back through and snap some nice shots, but all recent films are gone.

Your films in the "Recent Films" list are stored in cache memory, when you play another game, that cache of films is cleared. I may be unfairly assuming that's what happened here. I forgot to save some films from MP the other night and started up madden and by the time I remembered they were gone.

Awww, seriously? Yeah, that's what happened. I didn't realize that was the case. :(
 
Can I get the meta-game achievements in co-op? How does that work? Is it easier to do team scoring?



Second question: Is the fuel rod gun available in multiplayer/forge?

Yes. Your individual score has to beat the threshold - it doesn't matter what your teammates do. (i.e. whoever among you gets over the required 15,000/50,000 will get the achievement.) I don't know if toggling on team scoring makes a difference.

Second question: Is the fuel rod gun available in multiplayer/forge?
It's not in MM that I've seen. I haven't checked for it in Forge.
 
you guys wondering about rank. the number rank increases much faster in H3 than in H2. i think bungie did it purposely so all those little kids who cheated just to rank up have less reason to now; everyone will be a 40 or 50 pretty soon is my guess. sometimes my friends and i would level up 2 or 3 levels in certain playlists after playing just one game. in H2 it took 5 to 10 games to level up as far as i remember.

Good thing I was banned then, I was so annoyed at all of you that I might have said some nasty things.
 
Luke, is there a way to delete screenshots from the "Hi-Res screenshots" section on my Halo 3 service record page? I've deleted most of them from my Xbox 360 since I saved them to my PC, but they're still up on my service record page.
 
Alright, this is really fucking annoying. SOMEONE HELP. So I finally got my NAT open by enabling UPnP, but now my internet dies every 10 minutes until I unplug my router. HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO FIX THIS? I've spent more time messing with my router than playing Halo 3, and that's a lot of time... I don't understand what the problem is. I have tried forwarding ports, enabling DMZ, UPnP, and using different IP's. Does anyone know what the problem is? I'm starting to think it's because I'm on my dorm's internet network.
 
LukeSmith said:
Yeah, we've really tried to get the word out on it via Bungie.net and such. Sorry, Dark10x.

Maybe that's what happened to all of my campaign movies. I was on the last level of the game and it locked up in the middle of the ending. When I got back into the game, only the video for the last level was on the recent list. :(
 
rank means even less than it did in halo 2. in h2 i could've gotten a 50 in a week or two if i worked at it after modding and bridging reached a lull (which it did, except half the players didn't notice as they thought blue screen = cheating)... in this game it'll take like 4 days. right now what shows skill the most is your k/d. imo if you have a 1.8 k/d or higher with many matches played you're a quality slayer at least. but it's still a pretty arbitrary number as the game takes teamwork and tactics, even more so than halo 2, which was the king in that area, rather than pure skill like halo 1.

what will matter in the end, just like halo 2, is who you play with and what you play.

The ironic part was, I got hit with those, but dodged all others - until Frank inadvertantly spoiled something for me by linking a thread here without saying what the OP was.

Then, for the rest of the game, I kept thinking, "Is this the scene Johnson dies in?" Given that he gets the living shit kicked out of him in Halo 3 - often - there were a lot of possibilities.

(That's a real spoiler, btw.)
 
Finally got my Overkill Achievement. Didn't even realize it was happening until it was done.

And in other news, Lone Wolves needs to be bumped to eight players.
