nor does it support create-a-class on lan. so even if you got 8 tvs and 8 360s and 8 copies together, you'd have to play with default classes. which is the reason the game will never be played at a major lan tourney unless it gets patched
so sadDiablohead

would this be because people could basicly play cod4 over xlink kai or some pc tunnel software instead, avoiding correct ways to send data across the internet? I'm sure some other games did this too or disabled voice over lan, other features etc.sixthsubset said:nor does it support create-a-class on lan. so even if you got 8 tvs and 8 360s and 8 copies together, you'd have to play with default classes. which is the reason the game will never be played at a major lan tourney unless it gets patched

edit: and by wacky, I mean lame.
Are you still playing? If you are send me an invite! ( gt = apoks)
Edit: Diablohead I tried your racing map on foundy, really cool race lay out. Would be cool if you added like a 2nd level, like a bridge and drive beneath as well as over it

Been doing some co-op the last few days, straight-up Legendary with one other person. It is goooood. We ran into lag issues at big vehicle battle at the end of Tsavo, but otherwise I couldn't find a difference from playing SP. Well done, Bungie.

TY, yeah i'm still testing the waters but that map alone took up all the item budget, so i'll have to get creative.blanky said:
Working on a much more simple, wider and faster track thats basicly a figure 8 track, should be a little more entertaining then tight hairpins.

Has anyone made a really cool racetrack on Rat's Nest yet?
Okay so, I'm kind of drunk... for the first time in months. Who wants to play a little Xmas Eve custom games? I borrowed my friends copy of H3 since mine decided to stop working a week or so ago. Which makes DeadCell a sad, sad bear.
Merry Fucking Christmas everyone!
p.s. Add me ll Atreyu (those are lowercase "L's" at the beginning).

Speaking of coop action, has there been any word on if the guys at Bungie are releasing the video of that coop playtest talked about on the Bungie Podcast, the one were Sketch got the Warthog stuck? It sounded like there was a pretty big contrast between the older version of Tasvo Highway and the current version, I kind of wanted to see the differences.

You could use my race gametype with vip locations to get too, if you set each location as a number you can create non random, order swapping check pointsThe Lamonster said:

Yeah, I know! And it looks pretty good in 4P split screen (well, I've only played 3 player, but you get my drift). Dunno why they did that...that and the lack of custom classes.

I've already created a gametype like this called RIIIDGE RACER.
Just checked my file share and it ain't there. I'll put it up in an hour or so.

Is there any christmas event in halo 3? I doubt it would happen but to see warthogs load up as santa's sleigh for a day would have been golden!

Agreed. Ranked BTB will be very nice. I wanna see shots of the other new maps being worked on, too. Sadly enough, I went to visit my family for a few weeks and have no 360. I'll have to wait to enjoy some of the goodness until I return home.Striker said:
Even unranked BTB games can be quite fun. I did two tonight (both Team Slayer on Valhalla, not my fav) and had a hoot. Despite my occasional frustration, each game I play is filled with those great little moments that define Halo. Couple random moments that had me fist-pumping tonight:
--I was defending a team mate manning the mounted turret as he took out guys landing from the man cannon. We were spotted by a Warthog and couldn't quite take it down before it slipped under the stone arch to circle around on us. When it came up the hill I dropped a plasma grenade in front and flipped it over backwards, the followed it up with another stuck to the underside. Double-kill.
--Manning the back of a Warthog doing considerable damage to the opposing team. My driver gets jacked, and the guy tried to drive away from the fight, only to run into a pack of his own team on the flat area in front of the base. I mow three of them down (triple kill) before he could get out of line of sight. Whoops.
I also finally figured out the Banshee controls, at long last. Six kill streaks are a rare beast for me.
It's little moments like those that have me loving the MP I do play. (Well, mostly. BR start on Team Control in the Pit was a strange decision. But then I hate BR starts on anything but very large maps.)

BR starts are God's work.

I was in BTB last night for a few hours, got 8 spartan lazer kills in one match :lol
I don't like them because they tend to make most games a longer range fight, largely eliminating the effectiveness of grenadesa and frequency of melee opportunities. Most BR start games I've played consisted of 90% three shot bursts over and over, which just isn't fun for me. Which is to say, I suck and need 'sposions to kill dudz.Shake Appeal said:

I enjoy BR starts because sometimes that's what I'm in the mood for. Same goes for Rocket Race. You can't say "oh rocket race breaks halo 3" because it's just one playlist catering to one style of play.the disgruntled gamer said:
Personally, I switch playlists every one or two games. I've done that since Halo 2 and it's a good way to mix up the fun. I enjoy every single playlist and I really appreciate the variety Bungie delivers (same goes for Call of Duty 4's playlists). Humbug to Gears' lite playlists though.

Oh wow. I was not aware that it was scattered throughout the other playlists. Still doesn't bother me though. It only breaks my previous analogy.JdFoX187 said:
I don't mind BR starts because I used to enjoy those pistol matches in Halo 1. Also it makes Halo more like a tactical shooter. And the melee system pisses me off less.

A damn lot of things.urk said:
For BR starts discussion, I'll copy and paste what I said in the Online section.
Link - No problem with that. That's why I hated seeing Guardians BR and so on in Team Slayer. What's so different? In Halo 2, they need Battle Rifle starts in bigger maps like Burial Mounds and Relic. But what give a reason to give rifle starts to a small map like Guardian? Even Lockout didn't have BR starts and it is larger than Guardian. Removing Maulers in there didn't bother me. The Hammer is more troublesome on that map than any Mauler.
Hopefully, at least aside from BR starts on Valhalla for straight up Team Slayer, they remove EVERY BR start for Team Slayer maps. There's simply no point. None.
And this was before Team Hardcore was brought back. Now there is a BR start playlist therefore there's absolutely no need for a BR start game in normal Team Slayer. The only map that could use BR starts in normal Slayer is Valhalla.
