We like to play a couple of games such as:
"Swatty Balls" Which consists of an Odd-ball game with no shields.
"Prairie Doggin' It" Which is basically our version of Snipers.
"I call shotgun" which should be self explanatory, and one of my favorites,
"Ménage à Troi" which is basically mutliple flags for capture the flag (with the ability to drive while carrying the flag of course).

GT: Greg Is So Hot

Oh yeah,

I just call it Boom... FFA KOTH, non-moving hill, Rockets and Bruteshots with reduced damage and overshields to 2 minutes with >8 players on Lockout.
There's also "lol", slayer w/ random weapons with extra damage and no shields.

ok...un-named stuff i play

1. "Hockey" or "Soccer" - best on an open map like coag with 'hogs. everybody has a 'hog or other fast vehicle, but one player (the "Puck" or "ball") is left running for his life. all the 'hogs try to kill the poor little fellow and first to get a certain amount wins.

2. "Bumper Cars" - best on a map like coag with 'hogs. in this gametype, everybody gets a hog, whether you are driving or not it doesnt matter as long as each 'hog is moving. the objective is to flip the other person's 'hog to make them fall out and then, before they can flip it and get back in it, you finish them off.

those are two great games my friends and i play. they are lots of fun, especially seeing the 'hogs go crazy after a hard impact.

Very nice update.

As far as un-named things worth noting go I don't have any terms, outside of what's already been mentioned (except I tend to call "Bumper Cars" "Warthog Rally", and the we like calling the common glitching game type with da Overshields and da Noob Sticks "Glitched"), but I do have an original game type that is a blast to play in small groups with players of any skill level.

Heavy Heads: Played exclusively on Headlong, Primary: Sword, Secondary: Random, Map: Heavy Weapons, Shield Type: Normal, Bonus Points on, Scorpion spawn, Everything else default. Anything goes, but it's sometimes fun for the more skilled players to take whatever they get as their secondary and use that (or some other random weapon that isn't a rocket or sword) to win with. Meanwhile the less experienced players generally have fun being able to keep up with their otherwise superiorly skilled friends by using the rockets and sword to set the tempo of the game. It's surprisingly well balanced all things considered, but it's a love it or hate it kind of deal. Most people end up loving it, but some of the more hardcore players don't enjoy it very much.

Geez, that was way more description than I needed. Ah, well.

First update I've managed to read entire deployment so I'm going to assume it was better than average, least ways I feel I got something out of it.

The long broken ship hull on Burial Mounds are usally known as the McRibs

Me and my buddies call BOHICA ( Bend Over Here It Comes Again) when we're mounted, moving and someone spots a guy with a rocket launcher. ( BOHICA is also what we call over the radio when someone spots an IED that hasn't gone off yet.)

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

I'll refer to my own sig then.

Me and my friends often play a game called, " A day in 1942"
Basically, team slayer, magnum secondary weapon, random starting weapon. Rockets are only allowed on turrents or vehicles. Basically, this game really requires you to get together and plan out your strategy. Its really fun, squad based game.

P.S. Nice update!

One of my fav custom games was one we used to play in my clan called 100 Years War...Basically it was a random weapons game, which included bonus points, where you get + points for kills and -points for deaths, and the first team to get 100 wins. The game would sometimes last for an hour but it was always hella fun

"I see fire and I see flames. I see evil people strung up all in chains."

i basically call any spot that i dont know of at the beginning of a game that can be considered camping....a "-blam!- spot."





only because i dont know about it....so i -blam!- about the spot. yeah, self-explanatory.

In the weekly update Frankie discussed bungies ability to use a ch3at button which does many things like Kill people in a single shot, Infinite Ammo, and vehicle spawns anywhere. My question is was this button used in the creation of Halo 2. If so could M0dders or Hackers used this program to create HAX because if anyone at bungie has played halo 2 recently everything Frankie described are the exact same m0dz people use in Halo 2 and since its in the creation of Halo 3 will those haxz0rz be able to m0d once again?

I've been here longer then my profile says. Halo fan since combat evolved.

YAY keep the awsome water updates coming, i like them alot! Picturing the items in the water is hard to imagine, but i think it will be made clear with the beta. Really hope there are custom games for the beta so we can play with the environment. Thanks for the update!
