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


Ohh so spartans were designed to float, they look so boyant.

Might aswel dish some names:

We call the drones 'flies', a friend came out with it and its lame enough to love, ha flies. Needlers are 'hedgehogs'.
Sticking something is emptying your load..pleasant.
Rockets are 'crumpets'... long story.
Ghosts = scooters.
Prophets ride in wheelchairs.. I'll think of the other common terminology we use.

Will these new Xbox halo 2 maps be available for Halo 2 Vista?

  • 03.02.2007 6:30 PM PDT

In ages past the hand of time
Has hindered our migration,
But it cannot slow the will of faith
In times of confrontation.
Let all those worthy walk the path
Where we shall all soon meet.
For what once was lost, now is found
And our journey is complete.

The really fun thing about “Omnipotence” over “medusa” is the ability to take out vehicles, including Phantoms...

Hmm...disregarding the fact that he used cheats to blow up the vehicles, I wonder if it'll be possible to take down phantoms in the H3 campaign...I've always wanted to blow one of those suckers out of the sky.

I got death star....death star.....

Awesome update!!! When My friends and I play system link Halo CE Xbox We play a custom game called "Showguns" basiclly NO shields only shotguns on the map and we play this on Chiron 99% of the time we system link it is a lot of fun.

Zombies- 1 person goes green ( hes the zombie) while every one else goes red...only green gets sword and red gets pistol( no armor) and everytime green kills someone they have to change teams to green.

Update is teh better. Gametype for BR practice, Three teams. All have over shields. Play on lockout. Use center ground of map. One person on one team acts as starter. Two people face off. The starter calls it and the two people start blasting each other. Helps improve headshot accuracy. If you are good, you can kill your opponent with just short of two full clips. Don't have a name for it, though. Head counter, maybe....

This isn't original, but the Plasma/BR combo is called Bugar Combo (or Booger) where I come from. I't's also (in my humble opinion) a cheap unbalanced part of gameplay. I think it it is fun as hell in the "combo training" gametype when everyone starts with the proper equipment and it boils down to a Clint Eastwood like, wild West, who's the quickest draw type of thing, but in ordinary games it's annoying getting takin out by that crap because I try not to be that cheap and exploitive. However there is always someone on the other team who is, and you almost gotta bite the bullet and resort to the opposing team's cheap tactics. AND THEN!! To top it off they give you S%^* for using the "Newb Combo," even though they started it and and killed you ten times with that garbage before you swallowed your pride and gave in to such childish behavior. Thanks for listening! Frankie...what are the chances of spruced up versions of Ship-to-Ship, Prisoner, & Hang' Em High making it into Halo 3? I'll mow your lawn for a year if you keep Midship from making an appearance too!

Destructible Phantoms FTW! Better watch out when they come down though...


Oh, and some terms me and my friends use:

When an opponent is getting pumped full of needles, they are feeling the "Pink Fury".

When an opponent is jumping down from a platform and is killed by a Sword from below, they've been "Crotchitized" or "Castrated" (<-- spelling?).

Shootout: Team pistols, no shields. Fun on Lockout and Beaver Creek.

Yes, you must make Zombies a built in game type and do all the team switching and weapon access automatically. That would pwn.

Bungie finally gives a decent update;

yet still asks more new questions than giving answers to old ones...

Oyea, I do have a really cool game type I thunk up:

SPI (read GoO)
Random Everything
Damage resistiance-ON
Shields-OFF
Extra Damage-OFF
Active Camoflage-ON

It works okay as a slayer variation, but is really fun with about 5v5 team matches.

"Mouse Trap" 2 pumas and 2 wraiths (or more if that will be possible in halo 3 please) .. no shooting aloud just wraiths trying to ram into the pumas (mouses) ... but the kind we play we allow the wraiths to shoot in the final minute

Reclamation is inevitable.
Even a far cry begins as a short whimper.

Best gametype/name?

"Monkey Poo" = only plasma grenades.

Also, "killakatari" needs to be added after "Killimanjaro."
