Please do not make legendary any easier. I enjoy the challenge, and it really does sharpen your skills.

"I blame canser its going slutting itself around now so are bodys act like were aging faster stupid whore of a desies" ~ GruntX

It's so obvious! Christopher Walken and Maggie Wheeler are standing to the left and right of Marty, respectively.

The only unnamed halo reference I've got is Pirates - a gametype with high health, low damage, and swords only.

I play and win for Halo Head.

My favorite names are when we custom up some InvisiSWAT (Classic SWAT with invisibility on) and straight up slayer rumble style we label as Kill 'em all.

OK, I am about to put ALL of my Halo linguistic knowledge into this one post. This will take a while to go through so go ahead and ready yourself for some awe-striking, brain-clicking variants and terminology.

GAME VARIANTS

* JuggerSWAT: -Juggernaut Game Type
-No Sheilds for everyone
-Juggernaut's speed is Fast
-Juggernaut has cloaking
-Everyone has radar
-Starting Weapon is BR, Secondary Weapon is Random
-Starting Grenades
-No Vehichles
-Weapons on map are Map Default
This has to be one of the best, and funniest, juggernaut variants I have ever encountered.

* Hog Racing: -Team Slayer Game Variant
-Rockets starting weapons and weapons on map
-Everyone has Overshields and Damage Resistance applied
-All light vehichles are Gauss Warthogs
-With 12 Players, and a map that supports 4 light vehichle respawns, create 4 teams of three players. Races are held on predetermined tracks and the other 4 open player spots can be used for referee's.
This is my equivelant to Mario Kart Double Dash, but with rockets and gauss cannons. Trust me, warthogs will be flipping and crashing as the racing ensues.

* This space will be edited later when more time is alloted

* This space will be edited later when more time is alloted


Halo 2 Terminology

This list is not completed, it will take a bit more time than alloted to complete this listing.

Screen Checker: Split-Screen peeping tom

"Sticky Sticky!" said when someone is stuck

"Oopsie" said when assassination is implemented

"[insert appropriate weapon/vehichle here] Prostitute!" When a player continueusly uses one specific weapon or vehichle with repeated success against other players who do not have said weapon or vehichle (note: "prostitute" is NOT the word being used)

If you have to go down, make sure to take them with you...

Well I don't have any special game types I play. But i have a few terms we tend to use, this was more in halo 1 than in 2 cause the rockets don't seem to near miss as much but we used to call a rocket that just barily misses you a Zizz. As in that rocket Zizzed by me, then theres Boom boom Stick, Snipes, Shotty, Smig(SMG), BR, Relay race(when you keep passing off the flag as you die), thats all i can think about right now, most pretty standard some not.

Nice update Frankie.
Am I reading too much into things when I read "pistol" and not magnum?.
Secondly, do water and plants react to your velocity? I mean, do they react to wether you are sprinting or not?
Marty is the guy in the right, He is always dressed similarly. Is the middle one cortana?
Custom game name:
"Cheto por un dia" which translates to "Cheeto for a day" We called it like that since cheeto or cheto sounds kind of like "cheater". It is like dreadnaut, the juggernaut has speed, damage resitance, extra damage etc. basically you pump him up as much as possible but he is only allowed to use shotgun/melee. Works better in small maps and with at least 8 people to keep it frantic.It really feels like when you get matched agains a modder (with the difference that this is a lot of fun).

I know it's dumb... but those intense grenade swapping fights seem akin to monkeys throwing poop. Two creatures dancing around throwing crap at each other... it's... -I'm sorry.

Telegraphed- sticky to the face

-blam!- Healing- Dual Needler

Statue- lone sniper who doesn't move until it is time to kill, so he looks like scenery. Works best in headlong and burial mounds.

Plain of Desolation- Attempting to cross an open field where a known sniper is perching.

Decoy- Running around to draw fire so that your sniper can acquire a target.

Clipper- Taking out multiple enemies without reloading.

Jordan- Bouncing a frag around a corner for a kill.

Frankie- Rocketeer.

Forrest- Flag carrier. "Run Forrest, Run!"

Ninja- Sword wielder

Pirate- Single/Dual Magnum Pistol

Ninja vs. Pirates- Obvious

Fight Club- All PP, no shooting, lockout.

Troy- Brute Shots and Swords on Coag. Fire all of your Brutes in the air from opposite bases. Then the two sides meet in the middle for melee action.

Derby- Four Warts, drive around and crash until 2 people are left. Those two people melee to the death. With 8 players: Gunner and Driver or 4 drivers and four snipers shooting at the drivers.

And I know this has nothing to do with the game, but my friends and I make really lame jokes during the game, so we always say "Pun!" "Double Pun!" "Triple Pun!" "Puntacular!"

~!J-Dub Christians!~

I like to call the human aircraft (which there are none), sparrows (pelicans mostly). I also like to call the Battle Rifle the Rattle Bifle. Or the warthog a pig truck. The elites are the Wart Welpers.

On PC I like to make a gametype of all short range weapons on Beaver Creek. I call it Burninater because the flamethrower is the most powerful weapon and whoever gets it goes on a killing spree with it.

I also have a king of the hill gametype on Halo 2 where their is one unmoveing hill called Quope. Everyone starts with frag grenades, rockets, brute shots, and overshields. It's best on a small map.

Another one I call Underdog where it is CTF and there are only brute shots and frag grenades.

  • 03.02.2007 10:55 PM PDT

Are you elite?? join Elites of War

sniping headshot without scope usage= no scope = "snope"

example... "you just got snoped!!"

oh and the gametype where you start with sword as primary and sniper as secondary, with only snipers on map. = SNS (stands for swords and snipers but we just say sns.)

Fist Full of Pain - Slayer with all swords custom gametype.
The Pill - Slayer with brute shots.
Skittles - Slayer with laser, needler, plasmas rifle, and plasma pistol.
Gone Rambo - Running Riot
Rox - Rockets
Snips - Sniper
The Hurt - Scorpion
Trip, Trip, Triple Kill - Triple Kill

a nice update, here's some halo slang, i don't know how original some of this actually is though. . .

plasma grenades = stickies (singular: "a sticky")
when using active camo or overshields = power hour
plasma sword = glowstick, or "the knife"
shotgun = the shotty
using dual SMGs = spray and pray [for a hit]
maps with many many vehicles (particularly warthogs) = destruction derby, or NASCAR
all swords match = running with scissors
plasma pistol (and/or plasma grenades) only match = dodgeball
Hunters = for the longest time, my friends and I knew these behemoths simply as "Titans"

hope that helps

Halo CE, (for the first perspective passenger seat)
W Tag: 4 people, 2 'hogs. two teams
team indicators on
Infinite grenades
Starting weapon: Plasma pistol (signal flare)
each team has a driver and a grenadier. The grenadier sits in the passenger seat and the driver (predictably) in the driver seat. The two hogs clash in the middle of a large map, Coag or Sidewinder (tricky because of the ice sliding) trying to smash/ knock the occupants from the enemy vehicle. The grenadiers use primarily sticky grenades two try and stick the enemy vehicle or lay grenades on the ground for the enemy to drive over. once occupants are thrown, the driver then must run over any remaining enemies before they can flip and return to their vehicle.

Hog Jousting (Halo 1 or 2)
Starting weapon, weapons on map: Rockets
4 players, 2 teams
Driver and Rocketeer.
Hogs charge from opposite ends of the map and at the last moment the rocketeers line up and fire. Which ever team survives mostly intact wins.

Dogfight
Banshees
Starting weapon, weapons on map: rocket launcher
4 players
everyone runs for a banshee, and those that get them engage in a dogfight, while the ground pounders try to shoot them down using vehicles and rocket launchers, makes for some near misses and teaches missle dodging skills.

plasma grenades : Stickies
Needler: Firey Pink Death
When ever a fairly large explosion happens one of us usually says in a monotone voice "Boom."

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."--Albert Einstein
We are all dirty, dirty Shisnos.

Does anybody else think that the scary Grunt behavior is when a Grunt gets stuck he sticks himself (or has other grunts, brutes, etc. stick him) with another plasma grenade? This would create a suicide bomber with the force of two plasma grenades. Or he might just shoot himself in the head so that he dies before it blows up.
