I still reacon the X button shall be for changing fire-rate, or something of the like. Plenty of games are drifting in that direction of late, no-matter how usless it is... Still, i better be able to switch it back to the action-button upon purchase, or i shall have to operate on my controller...

And in the way of things that my mates and I name ourselves:
TDM with human weapons+Vehicules, usiually on headlong, with no sheilds, resists or powerups, where everyone does extra damage. Starting weps: Shotgun/PlasmaP. - Classic Deathfish
People who use Human Pistols: Pystolero Banditos
People who refuse to get off the shotgun: Sean (Or for non-personal refrence; Noob)
People who say stuff like: You should grap the energy-sword and use it to go around them and stab them in a melee fight - Final fantasy Fan
People who win alot: Me
People who beat me: Cheaters/Campers/Lucky/H4X0R3z
And, A "Flack Sniper" - Someone who tends to shoot rapidly - Sacrificing aim for speed
"Sweep Sniper" - A player who sweeps the crossair across the screen, firing as its about to hit the enemy.
A person who cant move and snipe at the same time - Terrible
"He has pulled a mitch" is the tearm given when you are not spotted by a "Conga Train" (Lots in a row) of enemies, Where the one at the rear is carrying a rocket, and strafes off into you, giving you the ability to steal his rocket by the "weapon-switch" button (B), and fire at his comrades, travelling up well-placed stairs, Wiping all thair asses (Not in that way). - This tearm has only ever been used twice... And is quite personal...
And last of all: Show-Stopper - The person who, having missed a huge battle, out of wich four of your team have prevailed, marches into the same room unknowingly, and scores his first four kills before the game can end.

A bit long-winded.... But im a creative person. :)

There are only two things I hate in the world. People intolerant of other peoples cultures, and the Dutch


Don't hate my hands just cause they smell of cabbage.

If Marty is in the picture, it would have to be the person on the right. The reason? I don't think he would be caught in public if he wasn't wearing a collard shirt.

Great update no matter what those jerks in the other forums say, though some of the snippets were kind easy to figure out with the suprises, thank god grunts aren't in Iraq *cough*

Oh, and a great game type is called the Revolutionary war, with the shotguns being so weak at mid distances 8 players on each side line up in a perfect row side-to-side and shot a lot of bullets at each other, fun for three times

Troy, everyone loves troy Coag, + Brute shots, - shields, no weapons or respawns, Neutral CTF flag with unlimited scores, and only 1 life. Get everyone to unload all their rounds at once, then run to the flag as fast as they can, by now all 1024 (if 16 people are playing and no one hoarded bullets illegally) should come down on people in random order and randomly kill a person if they are hit once. Then everyone meets in the middle in an all out melee madness, the flag give a person a speed boost or whatever and looks awsome. Last team standing wins. (Put multiple rounds for a better effect)

Super Stabby Roc

It's short for Super Stabby Rockets, but we couldn't fit it in. It's really simple, Primary Weapon = Rockets, Secondary = Sword, no grenades. Chaos ensues when rocket shots are missed.

Suitable for small-medium maps, for more chaos make it teams.

I think Bungie is the best company ever!

One game I'm working on (and its based off of my birthday party because I went to a laser tag game) is called LASER TAG!. In it no one has shield, motion sensor, or grenades. There are no weapons on the map, and the only weapon u have in the game is the sentinel beam. The problem with it though is alot of people melee each other and its not like in real laser tag where your "gun" is disabled for a certain amout of time either. It would be awesome if instead of dieing, u cant fire your sentinel beam (and u cant melee). You could get points for "disabling" your opponents sentinel beam instead of killing each other

Dudes...

I THINK NOW KNOW WAT THE X BUTTON IS

Have you ever read the Halo books? Well if you have, youd know that
all the spartans have certain after-affect from the augmentation they went through;

The Spartan Time

Spartan time occurs wen the spartans are in super danger or under stress,
and it basically makes them think and act 10 times faster than their already insane speed and strenght.

This has to be the X button! I mean wat else could it be!?!?!?

Lol, nah just a theory. I hope its race specific! That would be a cool change.

Yah now wat, if bungie wans to make halo3 races cool on multiplayer, make them have char specific powers or sumthin. Three things in halo3 are really gonna move the multiplayer up if they put them in, are reaaly huge maps, waaaay better game types, and some kind of knew movement system, like a corner cover system where you can lean around the corner and shot your friends, and a more satyisfying reward sytem for killing ppl.

Gotta get that weird sounding guy that announces deaths and rewards outta there, he seriously pisses me of, lol

All these new features sound great, although I'm a little concerned that the ragdoll physics might be a little fakey like Halo 2.

Poot = Player name for the younger brother of a friend of mine who did nothing all day but play counterstrike and halo. He is also a sniper-camping son of a b.

Kill Poot = the game specifically designed to disadvantage him entirely. vis a vis, rockets only (to deprive him of his sniper).

Cessel = can't remember the game type, but i know it was wacky (pronounced sess-el).

Strapped = being stuck with a plasma 'nade.

Bwaaow! = the sound shouted when we destroy someone with the plasma sword (sounds like 'ow' - as in the shorter form of 'ouch' with - with a prolonged sound and a B at the beginning). Can also be used as a verb.

Circle Defense = what a relatively inexperienced player does when shot at from a distance. (Circle Defense derives from the spinning around that a noob does when trying to locate the location of the incoming fire).

The guy in the teal suit = the 'untouchable' one. (in other words, the guy in our group who is like Frankie and just wants to look at the graphics...he usually shouts 'Hey, don't shoot the guy in the teal suit.' We call him Tito (sometimes adding Perez at the end - note: he is not hispanic, but the name sounds cool - so usually anyone who doesn't want to be shot while admiring graphics is called Tito Perez).

E. Honda = anyone who was able to master the ability to punch twice rapidly by throwing a grenade immediately after throwing the first punch (confusing I know...but try being raged with a two-punch combo).

that's about all i can remember for now.

Heres a list of stuff that me and my friends call stuff not only on multiplayer but stuff on campaign too.

Flak monkey= coned from the ut reward,somebody that uses the shot gun aaaall the time( that would be my little brother, who at 7 years old, took me and my 2 friends on in a 60 kill match, and had us down 20kills driving around in this beat-up ghost while we all tried killing him with sniper rifles..... -blam!-. but hes really good.)

Blob= Those nasty carrier forms, hatem hatem hatem, specially the halo1 blobs

Snipy= our all time fav, the sniper rifle

Shoty= another fave ending with a Y, the shot gun

plasma sponge= like so, "You frikin plasma sponge! Just die already!!!!!"

flying death= an occorance that has only happend once in where we were playing locally and i stuck my two friends in a hog, watched them fly, and saw my friend jump out of the drivers seat an cap me RIGHT IN THE FACE

  • 03.04.2007 8:43 AM PDT

Our two home grown favorites are:
Riddick
swat magnums, same specs as in the play list now, but we call it Riddick because with no weapons or ammo on the map the only way to dual wield or reload is to "keep what you kill"

and Royal Rumble
5 minute king of the hill, free for all, overshields, no grenades, pistol starting wep, no wep on map, toughness of players incresed, damage of weapons decreased...it turns into a wrestling match where the only kills come from assassinations

Go tell a Spartan, passersby.

Ahah

"Pirates"
Staring weapons-Primary Sword, Secondary Magnum.
Weapons on map- none
No Sheilds
Turrets

Tuff.

With all the grass effects Bungie is putting in H3, it's pretty obvious they will make some foot print effects. It would be more than cool if they do put it, I mean think of it, you can follow an enemy right to his hide out! This could also work in snow, sand and other surfaces. And speaking of water effects, will blood be floating in the water?

"Jimbo Smith"- This is Oddball with three ball and no shields. Why "Jimbo Smith", you ask? Well, growing up we had a friend named Jimbo Smith who happened to have 3 balls, but you wouldn't know this unless he was naked. So there you have it.

I think you guys should make a different mode of campaign where you can't unlock anything, but you can still play around with cheats and stuff... I personally would LOVE it....

Marty's head has never been used so well. It sounds like everything's under control over at Bungie.

alright im kinda new to the whole forum thang. so cut me some slack.

so in order for myself and my dumb arse team mates to be able to help each other out on any MP map we must have coded areas to comunicate with one another. like on burial mounds we have the "Nipples" wich are the two purple things that are sitting on top of what looks like giant "tits" where the shotgun spawns. also we use the popular one called the "ribbs" where the carbine spawns(i still cant get on top of thoe things). We also got "the bat cave" whree the noobstick spawns....not saying i actualy use that thing...
then we have my personal favorite "the pen1s torpido"(wich is where the rocket bridge is)...im not a -blam!- or anything....its just everytime i look at it, it reminds me of myself. BELIEVE IT! oh and i cant forget "the Vadge" where the rocket bridge do into those two large flaps....i just realised i should call it the "wizzerds sleave" :-O. but i especialy like "the Vadge" because its the only thing the "pes1s torpido" could fit in.
my buddys and i hate it when we all get owned and then the entire other team is T-bagging us....our only come back to that is make fun of there "sossage fest" ahah homos....

OK, yes, it is very true that I'm a dumb ass. I'm not denying that. However, isn't the whole point of a beta to increase the amount of users until you get someone dumb enough to try something you haven't anticipated.
Johnrap - Unofficial Dumbass of Halo 3 Beta

Needler assault.
lockout
starting weapon needler
no other weapons
no grenades
single bomb
3-8 person teams
4 min rounds
sudden death on
normal shields
no radar

best game type ever if you have enough people to play it

  • last post: 01.01.0001 12:00 AM PDT

here are some things me and my friends call gametypes and stuff in general

Golden Gun= no shields, all magnums, no grenades, no weapons on map, usually played on a smallish map to 50, rules: one shot per encounter with oponent, if you don't get a head shot you must melee, makes for carefull use of ammo and aim. basicually swat magnums, but you only get 1 shot per oponent.

Demolition Derbie= all warthogs, fast vehicle respawn, no shields, damage resist, played on large map. Rules: cannot shoot vehicles or use hog guns, must use hogs to battle it out pedestrians are fair game for hogs.

Sniper Ball: oddball with snipers

"Rocks"- rockets

Tower of Power: turrets on, weapons are shotties, grenades on, usually played on Ascention. Teams fight for controle of turret of big base.

Zombies: weapons shotties and swords as secondary, no grenades, played on medium to small map, 2 teams, at start one team has a single guy, the other has the rest. Rules: if you are killed by the zombie(one guy) you must change to his team. Only zombies can use swords There are many variations of weapons to this custom.

Hide and Seek: invisibility on, jugernaut it fast and is not invisible, must find and kill all other players. No respawns, last to be found is the winner.

Fight Club: no shields, weapons are plasma pistols, no grenades, limited # of respawns pure melee carnage. There is a variation, to the normal free for all, where all players form a circle on an upper level (usually played on ivory tower, or sanctuary) one player is in the lower level, in the center. That player will dual opponents(often of their choice), the winner of the battle continues on to another round/opponent. When chosen you drop into the battle circle and commence dual.

thats all for now, gotta go

POOT = assault (prefibly on Lockout) no shields. extra damage. BR starting weapon. rockets on map. bomb dude invisible.... it sounds kinda -blam!- bc u think it wuld be all exlosions and -blam!- but the BR pretty much evens it out bc u can own ppl before they get to a rocket.

OnE HittA QuiitTa = SWAT but with grenades and extra damage. :0 another fun one for Lockout

Sit Don't Move = King of the hill. hill moves every minute or so. hill invisibility on. weapons on map can either be default or add a little twist and change them up a bit.

Fiesta Land Grab = territories. starting weapons are on random. secondary weapons are on random. you choose round time or time to win. weapons on map are either random or your choice

-if i think of any others ill post them but thats it for now. peace

Parasite: Annoying little kids on XBL

Games:

Randomo: Random everything on small map, perferably on Foundation. Normal shields, extra damage.

Roadkill: Warthogs, rockets, sentinel beams and bruteshots on Coagulation and free for all...
