I want a H2V update! I want a H2V update! *chants*

All I know in terms of custom games, is that when H3 comes out I will be making a custom type called probably Shoop Da Woop, only weapons would be Spartan Lasers, no shields, extra damage, and when you're targeting someone, you'd have to say "I'mma Chargin My Laser" and when firing, "I'mma firin my laser". It simply must be done.

With the new multiplayer maps, is there an approximate release date yet...maybe?

Well anyways, with the picture of Marty and friends... He is the one all the way to the right. I am not sure yet who the other two are yet.

I can't wait for Halo 3 beta, speaking of which...is there a release date yet? I have my copy of Crackdown and i am ready to play.

For unnamed things in halo two i have a lot. Most are common ones for places in the various mulitplayer maps, such as the invisi-tower and sniper tower on zanzibar. But then we have some special names like Moab is the rocks on Coagulation. Also we enjoy calling the warthog a puma as in Red vs Blue.

- Canadian?
- Ball - Cranium.
Standard issue information storage and sensory group housing.
- "If God didn't want me to kill grunts, he wouldn't have made their heads explode into confetti."
- I'm a guy.

For a game type we call it Hoe Bag, its a Juggernaut match where the jugg usually has everything possible including overshield,invis,ifinite ammo,radar,extra dmg dmg rez and so on,while the rest have shield but no radar. We usually plae 2v1,

For an unnamed room, the room under the sniper tower in Lockout, we call it the suicide room on account of the fact you try to hide in between the corners where the jugg would run by you and kill your friend hiding with you, and then youd whack the jugg in the back and kill him and become the jugg. I know i rock at explaining

Great Update!

P.S. How many of you guys JUST came up with these names right before you posted.... eh?.....


Don't lie...


My friends and I have had these names since Halo 1 came out. (except for the things in Halo 2 obviously) They may sound fishy, but I assure you, we have had all of them from a countless number of system link parties and days of playing coop.

CE>Reach>3>2

The chick in the middle is Evangeline Lilly, the chick on the right is rosie Odonnel. Done.

Rockets playing juggernaut (juggernaut is faster and unlimited ammo) on any map is Called "rocket pants" Why, because he who is the juggernaut wears the pants.

Glad to see you guys you'se your time wisely, on the new Halo 2 maps...Im gonna be playing Lock out and here ooh ooh aah aah.. Pick This Flea Off My Back...
You guys better be putting alot of work onto Halo 3 sence, you havent been doing that much on halo 2....

  • 03.03.2007 12:04 PM PDT

I thought of a custom game type that involves the "bonus points" cuz i never saw or played one yet. it's 2 teams, goes for 8 mins. (or however long you want) with the bonus points, and a unlimited score. essentially, i wanted to create a halo meets matrix meets gladiator match thing. it's halo, you get points for doing cool stuff, and you get points period. I've never had a chance to put it to a large group test, but i was thinking it would be a fun time. I call it, "Team Hollywood." It might not be the best idea, but at least it sounds cool.

  • 03.03.2007 12:27 PM PDT

Huge and great update! So much info to digest!

Wonderful water info, weapons, the map stuff was good to hear about.

I want that legendary shirt.

Moreover, I am glad that being a mediocre Halo 2 player does imbue you with enough skill to take on Halo 2 campaign with relative ease.

Thanks Frankie. Hetero-blam!- <3 to you

If I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good nite.

No Dickin'- No snipers, start with sword. My older brother hates the sniper, because I'm pretty good with it, so there's no dickin' around in this game type.

  • 03.03.2007 12:36 PM PDT

No Scope? No Problem.

i always call the melee a "bash" and also i play a game called Supernaut

you start with random weapons and random weapons on map and you give the juggernaut every advantage possible (overshield, damage resistant, extra damage, infinate ammo and anything else i forgot) while taking as much as you away from the other players. its supper hard but it tests the skills

Game Type -

Zombies:

2 teams red and green, up to 16 players

game starts with 1 player on green team, everyone else on red team

no shields, no nades, no ammo on the map

starting weapon either pistols or shotguns

secondary weapon is the sword

Green team = zombies
Red team = screwed humans

red team can only use pistols/shotguns
green team can ony use swords

no radar

vehicles optional

when a red member is killed by a green team member he must switch over to the green team

thus eventually it will be one red vs. up to 15 green

I played this game type a bunch when Halo 2 first came out, but then i slowly saw it disappear as fewer custom games were being played. I'd LOVE to see this baby back, it makes for incredible fun and can scare the living hell out of you.

'Nades - Grenades. You GOTTA know 'Nades is a pretty popular way to say it.
PB - The damn "cheap" plasma battle rifle combo tactic that everyone fell in love with at first.
Dawn of The Dead - NEEDS to be a set gametype. You know which one.
Sneeper Reefle - Guess!

Nice update!
A custom that I like playing is zombies in Halo 2. This is when there are 2 teams and usually the zombie team is outnumbered 3 to 1. Starting weapons are the sword and shotty, weapons on map are pistols, and there are no shields, grenades or motion sensor . The zombie team only gets to use the sword and the spartans can use anything. If a zombie kills someone, he has to change teams to the zombie side. Once everyone is turned to a zombie, the game is over. There is no kill or time limit and this gametype is most fun on Foundation.

It looked like those guys were playing Halo Wars on a black 360? Maybe the one with and HDMI output...probably just a skin though.

for the game type thing i like one called 'treasure map'. its where somebody hides the ball with the ball indicator off and then everybody else joins in. its a free for all to find the treasure(ball). whoever finds it wins and hides it the next round. it sounds dumb but its funner than zombies.

Here's two of my favorites:

* D'artagnan- Sword wielder

* Squee Boppin- Shotguns only, no shields (Works best on Halo due to the increased range of the Shotgun. Also, Squee translates to no shields so it can apply to other game types. i.e. Squee Pistols)

The "real" marty is the one on the right side of the pic. It's all in the hair, the middle and left "marty-heads" are the same, but hair under/behind the left ear isn't the same in both pics (the blonde chicks hair sticks out in the middle one, and the left marty has more hair hanging down than he should...you can tell how much hair should be there by looking at how much hair isn't blonde on the middle marty). That and the only "marty" who has an actual neck...not to mention a head that isnt two or three times larger than it should be, proportional to the body.

Awesome pics tho.

Im sure somebody already commeted about this, but I think that Marty is on the right, and the voice of Cortana is in the middle, but I have no idea who the person on the very left is...

some game type names:

Exploding Wizards (no teams, rockets, with active camo and overshields)

Attrition (swat done rumble pit style with death point loss on...50 points to win...brings out the competitive a**hole in everyone)

Vision Testing (sniper, with active camo on...great training, if you've got the patience)

the black 360s are tester units...if you watch the 1up show you seem em every once in a while, they have them as review units. they play non-retail copies of the games.
