Halo 3 - General Discussion & Info

What in the hell are you guys talking about? Those types of jumps have been around since the first Halo. Hell, most FPSs I've played have had similar physics. Whenever you hit a slope and jump off at the right moment, you'll get a boost in speed.
Ever take the man cannon in Valhalla and jump right as you land? You can skip right over the river if you time it right.
The other jumps in that video seemed pretty cool too, I've hit that one they showed on the Pit (middle-to-turret tower).

[quote name='Danil ACE']Damn, some of those go to really cheap sniper spots.
Halo 3 will be ruined by those damn so called "major league gamers" more like "major league glitchers" and all the other copycats that come from this.
[/quote]
The same technique was available in Halo 2, but not too many people do it becasue they are pretty hard to do and hardly ever work. I wouldn't worry too much about this corner jumping, unless its a lot easier than it was in Halo 2.

You want to see havok physics glory, check out #5 on my file share.
I ended up way the hell up on top of Guardian yesterday after getting walloped up in the air by a gravity hammer that didn't quite kill me. Got a couple sneaky kills before running out of useful ammo. Not really what you guys are talking about, but it was kinda surprising to see how far up I got. I was on top of the light fixture hanging over the center of the map.

Some nice jumps there, I don't see it being exploited unless they get snipes. Look out if thats the case lol.

Honestly, a little sniper spot isn't a problem at all.
You just avoid the sniper. Basically takes that player out of the game.
No "cheap sniper spot" is going to help anyone. If you're using the sniper properly, you aren't just camping a spot. We aren't assasinating presidents here, it's a fast-paced game where everyone is armed.
[quote name='ninju D']The best/worst thing to happen to Halo was adding Live support. I've had a blast playing online MP, but the days of getting together with 16+ people at someone's house with cables running everywhere and everyone huddled around TVs was hands down more fun. Playing with/against so many people made it more of an event. None of my crew missed a Halo night unless they had something really important going on. Or maybe my friends just suck?[/QUOTE]
Xbox Live is no reason to stop having lan parties.

[quote name='A Happy Panda']? Why Legendary?
I did it on Normal on Tsavo Highway. There's a section where you come across 2 of those supply huts, you'll find 2 land mines in one of them. You're either going to have to use both land mines on one single Brute Chopper (2 or 3 of them come into the area) or damage one enough with grenades to take it out using just one land mine.[/quote]
...I'm an idiot and confused Chop with Car Salesman :lol:

This spartan life. Hmm I installed all three of the gamer pic packs and I'm missing some of the ones you posted above. I'll try to reinstall it again later tonight after I'm finished typing a few papers and studying.

wierd, i finished off a wraith today, right before the aforementioned chopper sequence on tsavo highway, with a land mine and didn't get jack, does it have to be set for heroic or legendary, don't know why it would, i got some of the others on normal difficulty, maybe i just wasn't lucky?

You have to kill the driver and destroy it. (I did this on a brute chopper)

damn i thought i killed him too, maybe not, i'll have to try it again tonight after work
I was playing a game of Shotty Snipers Team Slayer on Narrows today, and I couldn't figure out how someone was sniping down at us from way above. Sure enough, some guy was using the new jumps to get way up on the map. He was pretty easy to dispatch as there was no cover, but no one else on my team though to look up.
well i finally played a bit online. the mute function is great. i mute atleast one person in almost every lobby i played. it seems like the people arent as good as they were in the beta either. i got whooped in the beta but did really well in the dozen or so matches i played.
Just a quick general question. How many others are having games with 1 point over or tie games? I don't mean tie games that end because of time though.

I was actually doing better in beta. Spike grenades and melee feel different than they did in beta to me. Plus I don't seem to be able to stick people properly like I did in Halo 2 & Halo 3 Beta. I watch video playbacks on occasion and notice grenades I throw go through people and sometimes when I do manage to stick them, it warps onto the ground five feet away. Not to mention grenades warping from the ground five feet away onto me. Also have some trouble with sniper rifles on occasion with shots not registering even though I clearly see blood.
Nothing has changed on my end either. NAT is open and connection is fine with no downloads going or anything. Not showing an ounce of lag on my end and I can still kill the same people in that very game via headshots on a battle rifle just fine as if it were a local game.
Oh well, not much I can do about it except stare at my bandwith tests. It just boggles my mind.

You are going to be better off getting those on your own. Otherwise you have to compete for kills. I got all of mine on normal difficulty with 4 or 5 skulls on depending on the level. Most levels I doubled the points needed for the achievement.

Yeah, +1 on that. It's pretty easy on Normal with a bunch of skulls.

the melees and grenades in the beta felt more like h2 than in the full game.
those are the two biggest differences to me.
i played social matches as a guest with my buddy, not sure what hes ranked but he had a couple silver bars. i expected to get racked after the beta but my expeierences so far are the opposite, which is nice, makes me wanna play more since im not getting smoked every game.

geez, this new melee system is really messing me up. For the past couple of weeks I thought it was just lag.
Anyways, I'm down for some Online Co-op, if you need a 3rd or 4th player, or perhaps some Terminal/Skull Hunting. But be warned, sometimes I don't use the mic or have my speakers turned on.

I usually play late at night, from 12am-3am Eastern Time

Hey thanks for the homage
As for that video of the rocket deflection, that's a really lucky grenade. I deflected a rocket the other night but it didn't actually kill anyone or hurt anyone. Also havok still sucks.

The physics engine isnt really the problem though. The problem is the way its intergrated into the game. When you have guys that can jump 10ft in the air and what not its going to make things screwy.
