Halo 3 - General Discussion & Info

[quote name='RelentlessRolento']I'm up for finishing the last two levels sometime ;)[/QUOTE]

I finished them with my brother on System Link, but I'll still play with you guys whenever.
 
[quote name='zewone']You can get it in social FFA matches, yes.[/quote]

Sweet...but I havent been able to get on a map with vehicles...oh well, keep trying I guess.
 
So uhh... it looks like Bungie.net stats are back to being updated near real time, but all of my matchmaking stats from the entire weekend look to be lost (it updated the 3 games I just played, but nothing from when it was "broken").

Say it ain't so, I earned so many medals over the weekend :cry:
 
I wonder why Bungie.net lists Gunnery Seargent Grade 3 & 4 when they don't exsist. I totally bypassed them, I know I'm not good enough to have skipped ranks. I think that they're missing.

You skipped it because you had at least a level 10. If your highest level was a 9, you would still be working on Gunnery Sergeant.

Oh...I think I understand it now. I was always curious as to how that worked exactly.
 
Wow this sucks. I wans playing team slayer with some of my friends (they were in the lvl 20s) and we played some other lvl 11-20s. We won after catching up and I stayed the same level 3..didn't even get an EXP point.

The lower levels in mixed parties get the least experience so people can't boost their friends.

Boo we weren't even trying to boost but oh well. Thanks for the heads up.
 
Level 40 barrier finally broken! Now to 50!

(I know, for some of you guys who play 24/7 this isnt a big deal, but try not to overshadow this accomplishment for me, lol!)

I just made Sarge! :)
 
I have a finished beta of my first CAG forge map, entitled Low Ground. It's a really fucked up edit and I like it. If anyone wants to test it out with me, just join my game. I have used every little trick I've personally learned into this map.
 
[quote name='Punk_Raven']Seems like when you get to a certain level in Team Slayer you pretty much have to have a partied team to roll with.[/QUOTE]
You should always play with a team of friends, everyone out on Live are fucking pricks.

I have actually run into more decent folks than I thought I would on Halo 3. Maybe it's just because there are som many people online.
 
Creeping up on 1000 out of 1000. I got Triple Kill and Overkill last night in a game of Oddball. Also got the sticky award in a KotH game.

Gonna try to get that goddamn Steppin' Razor achievement. Seems like the hardest one to me.
 
I played about 3 hours with my girlfriend online last night pretty fun times. We even played some Social Double Teams, I want to see that in Ranked one day, 4 teams of 2 is fun shit.
 
[quote name='ph33r m3']Gaaaaaadamn am I amazing at this game.[/quote]
Bungie.net says you're a 14.

That is amazing; but not in a good way.

So far, I've pulled off three separate Steppin' Razors. :cool:
 
[quote name='Theduck']Is there any way my friend could play co-op with me off my xbox live tag?[/quote]
Yes...I believe he has to sign on as your guest.
 
Looks like the first update is up:
Halo 3: Matchmaking Playlist Update 1

Posted by lukems at 10/9/2007 11:07 AM PDT

Halo 3's Matchmaking Playlists, just like Halo 2's, are dynamic and ever-changing entities. Even now in the perilous Bungie towers, we're looking at new hoppers, gametypes and modes to test for future iterations and changes of these playlists. Multiplayer Lead Tyson Green and test wunderkind David Gasca sent the following list of changes to us -- and these changes are live now:

  • Big Team Battle matches are now 16-player affairs.
  • In the Team Slayer playlist, the appearance of Shotty Snipers has been greatly reduced.
  • Now, when players veto Shotty Snipers, the game that results from the veto will not be Shotty Snipers.
  • In one-sided VIP matches, the attacking team will now see a waypoint for the VIP they are hunting.
  • In Lone Wolves, Slayer gametypes will appear more frequently.

Thank God they have reduced the appearance of shotty snipers. It's okay sometimes, but I have never been a good sniper and that's my primary weakness to the point of it not being fun.
 
I'm glad Shotty/Snipers is reduced, as I am not that great of a sniper. And really, it rarely comes down to a shotgun battle in that matchtype.
 
I already have it but I won't mind doing it again since it's been so long -- send me an invite later on.

GENIUS!

In other Halo 3 news, the LE just got MIRed - sent back to the distributor - at Target. I don't know whether it was recalled because of the disc scratching issues, or because of it being an LE. DVD sets do that - for instance, The Simpsons "head" packages get MIRed shortly after release to squash availability. I've never noticed it happening to a game before.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']I need to finish the last two levels in the game on legendary... anyone up for it tonight?[/QUOTE]

I should be on sometime after 9PM central (have to do a review session for my students tonight, and I might have to wait until my roommate stops using my TV, so 9 is the earliest I would pop up), so I could help you if needed.
 
i'll see if I am on tonight... might be better anyway if it's the weekend, plus I need to clear out my friend's list since I currently have 99 people and forget who 50% of them are.
 
I've got 2 questions:

1) Are the armor changes for show or does each armor have different traits?

2) I'm on level 3 and I'm all alone (my team is dead), should I bother trying to fight by myself or do I need to restart this level? I'm at the point where I'm back on the highway and just beat the group of 6-7 guys at the roadblock.

Im Game, Hell I been trying to set up some Online co-op But i suck at making friends on XB Live. Just got off of work and I got the rest of the night to kill.
 
Im glad they did this, but its like putting a bandaid on a sucking chest wound.

Just let people pick the map and gametype they want in social. WTF is soo hard to understand about that?
 
[quote name='zewone']Getting from level 44 to level 45 was way harder than getting from 1-44.

But I finally got my Brigadier rank.[/quote]

They need to change the leveling system IMO. I had won 11 games in a row with my brother in Doubles on my 44 and didnt raise a level until I went in by myself today. They shouldnt penalize you for playing with a teammate.

It's never happening, you might as well move on and find something else to bitch about.
 
I'm having a skull problem. I am playing a single player campaign on heroic and the fourth skull should be on top of the Silo when you first have the outdoor battle with the 2 wraiths. I got on top of the silo, but there was no skull. Can someone help me out here, this is very frustrating.

you have to get the skull while the wraiths are still alive, you can't blow them up then go for it.

If you kill the Wraiths, the skull disappears.
 
Thanks guys...so any tips for a single player looking to get this achievement, I stacked up three ghosts the last time to get up but that is going to be a lot harder to do with a wraith alive.
