Ok thanks for answering my question, flaming can stop now. I appreciate it.
It's ok, always glad I can help and clear up confusion. The guys here can be real assholes.
 
Is there really a hallway leading to the base that you can fill with flames via a switch at the base??? Wow.

The video coming tomorrow or the one from SpikeTV?


(tomorrow, being today that is - the more funny one.)

No, but you can sort of build one out of flame grenades and mancannons.
 
I will pick them up tomorrow...I am sad that most of the people i play halo with have moved on...so i need new friends that play on a consistent basis...I would say I am above average in skill and in a Team that plays well I am stellar. Hit me up if you want to game...tag same as the name.
 
Hi this is my first post how are you! I will be hanging out here. :3

*ahem* This sucks =/ I have to work tomorrow from 5-10, and I get out from school at 4 :(

Can I has maps early? Plz?

Also: Stinkles + Luke shop = Scary win.

I just laid waste to these puppies, so I'm moving to wonkyville as well for a few hours.

The maps look very cool in the RvB vid off marketplace. Cant wait to give em a try :D

Rat's Nest is going to be my favorite, no doubt. I just love a map that has different routes leading to one or many places. I don't know why, I just love maps that have encounters at every different area of a given map like having two people in the tunnel in High Ground, while three people are fighting near the beach, etc.. Makes everyone in the room feel like one big angry family.

Lulz. I'm eating lunch now! I just had writing class D: Mm...fries and mashed potatoes. The most redundant meal in existance.
 
The RvB video was pretty cool. Having the switch on Standoff both open a back door and the windows, making the interior a more dangerous place, is a great touch. And I'm very excited about Rat Race. The circuit around the outside will yield good things. Interesting thing about that map is HOLY SHIT I'M SO HUNGRY NOW

I know, it had a similar effect on me, too. Damn you, Vociferous!
 
BK Doublemelt was delicious, but by the time I got home and ate it, the "bread" was too greazy. Maybe better "fresh?"

edit: BK Double Homestyle Melt
 
I just had lunch so I'm good with the hunger issue. I can't wait for Standoff though. I tlooks like it may be my favorite Halo 3 map overall.
 
We're going to "Do the Dootch," which means, go to Sarducci's Subs. Strip mall in Kirkland. best subs around.


Me - Pastrami and swiss with strong mustard, light on the sauerkraiut, and no, for some reason it's NOT a Reuben.

That sounds horrible.

I only get one kind of sub:

Ham, Turkey, Swiss. Lettuce, Tomato, Mayo


And only one kind of Sandwich (courtesy of Rutgers Grease Trucks):

Fat Llama:
Cheesteak
Eggs
Mozz. Sticks
French Fries
Ketchup
Mayo
Hotsauce.

I'm vegetarian, so that sandwich has the opposite effect on me. It's like, "Oh right, that's why."
 
What timing, I just got back indoors with a hot & spicy 12" pizza :lol

btw the tuesday map launch, is it a midnight thing or midday? only information I can find is the 11th.

I heard 3 a.m. Pacific. And by "heard," I mean I read it a few posts back in this thread.

Also, that pizza sounds awesome. I'm starving! And all I have is this gingerbread house kit that I'm planning on building and then eating (as a teen, my parents would never let me eat theirs - it was for "decoration").

I got myself stressed out earlier so I just decided to go out and spend whatever was in my pocket on food, got enough snacks here to keep me awake all night long due to suger rush.

And I must have missed the 3am thing, at least I know now :)

Oops - It was 2 a.m. Pacific (says Ghaleon). My bad.

Hah - whenever I get stressed I do the same thing: spend lots of money on food.

Anyway, I won't be able to make it to 5 a.m. EST. I'll get them when I get up. I've been steadily becoming more and more excited about Foundry.

Oh shit, we have something in common.

Most random thread on GAF confirmed! (and that says a lot from what ive seen)

sooo hungryyy
You should read some old Halo threads. They were like this to the tenth power.

StranGER said:
so does that mean tomorrow if someones health is low enougha nd you smack them they will die 1st and not have that 2 second delay to smack you back before one of you dies?
if so i'm stoked!!!


also, why are there no fire grenades on any of the multiplayer maps?

and think we could not have a sniper on every single map?
What the hell? How was this little explosion related to my post that you quoted at all? Am I missing something?

I just polished off an apple. Hard Style.
I briefly considered eating healthy, but the previous page put me in a very different mood all together. I ended up at Costco doing some Christmas shopping and snarfed a slice if pizza and a churro. Comfort food.

Anyways. I'm seriously considering picking up the maps and doing BTB and Rocket Race for Rat Race. I think I'm in love with that map. (I'm through with what I'm going to play of Orange Box and am itching for more Halo.)

Food from a grocery store should be awful, but Costco pizza is really good. It surprises me.

I can't wait to get the maps. Halo 3 has pulled me back in. I keep trying to play more COD4 and Orange Box, but I can't resist playing more H3.

I had mac & cheese for lunch. Vegetarian food ain't always healthy food. Just had some almonds too.

Getting back into Halo after Orange Box is like settling in with an old, familiar friend. Half-Life and all the sequels are really great games, but I really, really prefer Halo's control and weapon feel, especially on the console.

Don't worry, I don't proselytize.
Reading posts, I've always thought that you eat your meat raw, right after you've dismantled your prey with your bear hands. Don't know why I made that analogy, but your posts have always seemed carnivorous.

Anyways, I'm excited about the three maps. I've got a feeling that my 'free' time this week will consist of forging a version of Midship from Foundry. Don't know how that'll work out, but I'm ready to get my hands dirty.

You have to let me know when you finish that!!

Don't those new maps come out, tomorrow?

Good bye, $10.

According to a blurb on the front page of Bungie.net they should be available at 2 a.m. pacific. Your milage may vary (that is, sometimes it take a couple hours before everyone can see it)
 
I really have started getting back into H3 after beating Mass Effect (up to lvl 37 in Team Slayer) and cannot wait for some new maps. Especially a bigger map for BTB.
 
I tried to change my controller layout to Bumper Jumper (LB and A switch, RB and B switch) and after about 2 hours i gave up and went back to Default. I just cant do it, my hands automatically press A for jump, LB to change 'nades and B to Melee! Anyone else ever tried a different config/use a different config?

I'm planning to build a map called "The Bowl" (Urk would approve) and a gametype I've dubbed "Delayed Reaction". Never got around to it before, but I'm feeling like tinkering with Forge in Foundry. That map just begs to be tinkered with.

That's way more "drug dealer in the woods next to the high school" than I would've expected from you, Ghaleon!
 
I can't wait to play with Forge on Foundry. I'm not a very creative person in the first place, and Forge for the current maps doesn't really help me be creative, other than rebalancing the maps. I'm looking forward to playing around with it.

:lol :lol :lol
 
If anyone makes a great map of any kind (silly, fun, extremely overkill) then please send me an invite to play, since matchmaking only goes so far :D
