Fight hard, break bones >{o

i think the real Marty is on the right becuase that ones head is the smallest so it would be easier to cover up the other bodies.

unnamed stuff? umm... i cant think of anything. sorry.

Well Enough Alone...

~"The people who play Bungie games tend to sense that there's something behind the games that's attractive to them. Then they become fans of the games. And then they become rabid fans. And then they become employees of Bungie."(Life story) -Marty

HOLY SNAP THAT WAS PACKED WITH INFO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll be rereading that for weeks just to catch everything, not to mention comprehend its meaning. I think the left one is Marty.

Do they mean unnamed stuff like TofP reffering to towerpower or MC referring to master chief? Because if they do then it would take up pages.

Sorry if these are blindingly obvious.

Terminology suggestions:

Zombie: converted to team that killed you upon death(which by the way would be a very cool gametype to include in customs. Instead of people having to change teams manually, have it force team change upon death, etc. Also having a feature to make the members of the smaller team stronger would make for more gametype creation options.)

Frogger: avoiding vehicles while on foot(makes a great gametype on coag)
"help!, i'm playing frogger with a ghost"

Naked: no shields
"help, i'm naked!" or "give me a second to recharge, i'm naked."

Jack'd or Hijacked: Steal vehicle
"I jack'd the Banshee."

Pop the top: Take off cover on Tank or Wraith driver
"I popped the top on the Tank, someone snipe him please."

Never eat yellow snow, unless of course, you spilled your Mt. Dew!

That marty pic was wrong wrong wrong. Had to step away from the computer for a bit and collect myself. First noticed the middle body, ooh la la, then moved north and was scared senseless. Lost all sense of manhood!

Thug Fight: multiplayer gametype where you can only melee. Works best on a small map and when no one cheats. orz

Runner: reference to yourself or your co-op partner, when we decide to run through the level, ignoring enemies, just trying to beat it in record time.

The Bowling Alley: the tower in ascension opposite of the sniper tower.

Huckle: when you throw a random grenade and kill someone.

What's the word on the emulator fix? A while back you mentioned that the new maps were only for XBox 360 but MS were going to fix the emulator to make up for the fact that Halo 2 is UNPLAYABLE in many situations on the 360....

Nice update. Thank you.

Ever since Halo 2 came out, my friends local and I have been having "H2 nights". We all get together and play LAN Halo 2. Here are three of out most used game types that we have a blast on.

CTF Snipers on Foundation. We named it CTF Snipes.. for lack of a better name. It takes forever, and it can be very frustrating, but we love it.

Also way before "SWAT" was ever a playlist or part of one, had and still have a game type just like SWAT, called "BR Dome Snipes". Our shotgun game type was called "shotties". Other then that we mostly use default game names.

Hope this helped.

agent grunty!

nice update Frankie,
yah i use dev commands sometimes with Halo Custom Edition, they're great if you just want to mess around on the campaign.

(P.S. invincibility + bottomless clip + medusa * time freeze = total annihilation.)

  • 03.02.2007 6:06 PM PDT

I have an irrational fear of unattended robots.

Here are some gametypes that are common, but with pretty names:
PolkaBLAM!: Swords and Shotties
Shwatketball: No shields, no radar, rockets, shotguns, grenades, team ball
Shwatketballtacular (Shwatketballtac in halo, cause there's a limit on name length): same as Shwatketball, but rumble and 3 balls.
Tink: Grenades and Brute shots, no shields, no radar.

And, for some reason, when ever we assassinate someone, we yell "YAH!" as we do it and then in a movie announcer voice say "ASSASSAMATRON" over the mic.

BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH:Standby Screen

  • 03.02.2007 6:13 PM PDT

GT: GIGNATIC

that update was sweet, I can't wait for the beta/h2 maps. Chapstick, on the first page: ATHF is amazing. So anyways about the no name stuff:

Noob stick = sword
Noob combo = plasma pistol + BR

you definitely have those already but I thought I'd put 'em up since no one else did.

List of what we call things in custom games?

I've got a custom game with honor rules I call "Keep Away". It is a two ball oddball game with plasma pistols only as primary weapon. No using it though it's melee only. 10 minute time limit (no time to win). Person (1v1) or team (all the evens up to 8v8) with the most time win. Oh and in a team game each team can only carry one ball at a time. That's "Keep Away" About mid way through the strategy changes from getting time to keeping it. The best map for this is Elongation.

I've got another custom game -- Single bomb on Foundation with 4 teams. "Single Bomb" is misnamed -- really it is single defender. Turn off the turrets and set the rounds to 4 -- each team has one defense round and three attack rounds. It is a crazy game. Each of the attacking teams are competing to plant their bomb first while the defenders hold their room and pick up the dropped weapons outside their door. Make sure to run for the rocket launcher immediately at the start of your defense round. I call this game "Three Bomb WHAT"

I call the needler "Pink Love"

That's about all I can think of.

Thanks for the update.

thanks for the update

Gametype
Run-wraith vs. warthog elimination/survival game, have to quickly get to the hogs before the wraith finds you
Truckin-rockets single hill KoTH game on foundation or midship even coag, pretty funny when you drive a vehicle out to the middle of the map to get points when a rocket blows you up which was fired from halfway across the map

Ah yes, I've played with those debug commands on my friend's xbox. Good stuff, though medusa works a little differently in Halo 1.

Nice update anyway.

Liar.

As for unnamed Halo stuff, a single needler is The Grub Combo, named after a gump that goes to my school, and the sword is The Dagger, for obvious reasons.

"If you die, in deep-ish river water in Valhalla, you’ll float briefly downstream until your Mjolnir armor becomes waterlogged and you sink to the bottom."


You're telling me a few-ton guy will "float" in water?

  • 03.02.2007 6:17 PM PDT

-Blam!-

Me and my friends have some good names fore our gametypes, dont remember all of them now though..

But "Hagelsprakan" or "Sprackan" is only shotguns in various forms.
Its like the Swedish words for shotgun :)

Ship float and they're 100,000s of tonnes.

And one other interesting thing to note, is some kind of scrambled transmission seems to be decoding itself slowly in Thunder’s sig… coincidence? Maybe.
ZOMG, ARG confirmed?

So we cheat. With a simple button press (that obviously isn’t in the retail game, so don’t bother mashing your controller in the Fall) I can drop any weapon or vehicle.
ZOMG, Fall release confirmed?

That said, it looks like a lot of the X Button stuff is sorta done, and with any luck, you’ll be pressing X every now and then when you play the public beta.
ZOMG, X button flips Warthogs?

Marty has a hot bod by the way.

Fire your guns
It's time to run
Blow me away

My friends and I play King of the Hill Midship with BR's and a random secondary, This is called Jubwalta. It also applies to any KotH game on Rat Race from Halo 1.
