Wow... all this talk of grass and water has confirmed a reported leak of the ending of Halo 3 that Frankie addressed last year. If you don't remember, I'll refresh your guy's (and Gamerchix) memory.

Hope the Ninja's don't attack me for posting leaked info...

Halo 3's Leaked Ending

Enjoy ; )

isn't the armor supposed to weigh 1000 lbs? in that case, it wouldn't float any sort of distance down a river, it would prolly sink immediately. just a though.

Men, we've led these dumb bugs out to the middle of nowhere to keep from getting their filthy claws on earth, but, we stumbled on to something that's so hot for them, that they're scrambling over each other to get it. Well, I don't care if it's God's own anti-son-of-a-b*tch machine, or a giant hola-hoop, we ain't gonna let them have it. What we will let them have, is a belly full of lead, and a pool of their own blood to drown in!

the one in the middle is obviously marty

"STEALTH BUTTON!"

That's what me and my friends yell when we kill squealing kids in MLG FFA games. When they ask what it is, we convince them that it's a special button on the controller that causes your powers to amplify. It's hilarious when they believe you!


[Edit:] It's normally yelled and pronounced with a heavy Boston accent:
"Steaalth Buhhten!"

I think u should add a game variant into halo 3 called Zombies, which for me is freqwently played on xbox live. The way you play is u create 2 teams, one team red (humans) and the other green (zombies). The red team has all the players but one. U have one Zombie that is only aloud energy swords. The humans are only aloud shotguns and pistols. There are no grenades. no shield either. Each time the zombie kills sum1 red, the red person must switch to green team and use the energy sword. Im pretty sure being the creators on halo u could make a game type where if a green team member kills a red one, the game automatically switches them to green. Now im pretty sure tones of people would agree with me and this idea, and i believe it would be a extremly popular unranked game type if there will be a Matchmaking for halo 3.

Subject: My list of personal terms for stuff in Halo
  • gamertag:
  • user homepage:
  • last post: 01.01.0001 12:00 AM PDT

My list of custom gametypes/slang terms for things
Spartan Laser-Microwave Gun, as myself and friends have dubbed it.
Plasma Grenades-Stickies, or Spiders.
Brutes-Wookie Variant.
Energy Sword- Noob stick of love.
Gametypes
Secret Agent-No Shields, No motion sensor, Active Camo, Human Pistols, Extra Damage, Team Play, best played on Turf in Halo 2.
Pit of Rockets- Fun variant of pit of joy- Midship, King of the Hill, uncontested to gain time Rockets, Damage Resistance, Damage resistance while on hill, grenades, weapons on map rockets, team or slayer play.
Poop- Slayer with sentinel beams and damage resistance, enough said.
Sniper Fiesta- No Shield/Motion Sensors, Extra Damage, Random weapons, secondary weapon human sniper
Tower of Power- Ascension, The tower is the tower with the stickies at the top, and a machine gun turret, no shields, shotguns, no motion sensor, Team Play, Multi Team Adaptable. The tower is a superior defensive position, and is easier to gain kills while in it.
Halo 3 Update/Innovation, Make it a king of the hill variant, the kills can only be gained by players in the tower which would be a hill area.

Terms and common sayings
Rocket Whore- The act of whoring rockets
Kill Steal - Act of "stealing" a kill, also known as assists.
Death from above- Act of horribly killing someone, by jumping above.
Ninja flagging-Taking a flag and killing people in the defenders base, only with the flag
Noobtacular-The act of killing a large amount of people at once in a noobish manner, such as with a rocket, or multiple grenades.
Headhump-Meleeing someone while falling on head and killing, also known as death from above
Wrong.-The act of getting a kill achievement award, such as killtacular, or killamanjaro, in a match where there is not enough players to get such an award. EX, You killed three guys in a 4 person match, and the first guy you killed respawned, only to be killed, therefore granting a killtacular.
Thief!-Act of stealing another teams weapon, such as a sniper on blood gulch, so that it will not respawn. Would have to be held onto long enough for it to spawn again if it had been dropped.

Okay, I hope this matches the criteria of what you guys were looking for, I might make a thread just for this, seeing as this one is somewhat varied in content.



Okay..I think the level after you kill regret in Halo 2, master chief floating..is a kinda no-no. He sinks, and gravemind grabs him. Now, I think this map stuff and such is awesome, plus the water and grass effects, keep up the good work.

Sword = "Timmy" (no apparent reason)
Sniper Rifle and Beam Rifle = "Pedro" (again, no apparent reason)
Needler's needles = "Pink shiznit" (not actual word used in play)
"Sticky Wars" = pretty much any game played on Midship, as long as 'nades are on

All players drop Plasma Pistol through ball glitch, then wait 20 seconds till all pistols disappear, leaving no weapons on map. Last person to drop pistol starts with ball, then tries to throw to others. If thrower misses, they must pick the ball up again. NO KILLING. Golf scoring (lowest wins).

"Don't shoot... DRIVE"
FFA Slayer
Unlimited Kills
All vehicles on, random light and heavy
No weapons or nades on map
OS on

From our company wiki:

Sisifuss : No shields, only weapons available are the magnum and grenades. Some game type preparers forget to change the secondary weapon type, the plasma pistol (which is completely useless with no shields), and players are as a result made frustrated and/or angry.

Sillyfuss : A variant of Sisifuss. The primary weapon is the covenant carbine instead of the magnum, which remains as the secondary weapon.

Snotguns: Sniper rifles and shotguns.

Rockippers: Rocket launchers and sniper rifles.

Dialect -

Hurtball : Known officially as the plasma pistol, this weapon is only useful for dropping an opponent's shields in one shot leaving him vulnerable to effortless defeat.

B. S. Combo : The controversial technique of a player equipping a hurtball and a Battle Rifle, then wielding the two weapons in succession respectively on an ill-fated opponent. Employed correctly, it is instantly lethal and nearly impossible to defend against. It can be commonly seen used by players on a disadvantaged team trying to even the odds, but can be found more commonly employed by Mr_Fett on a team at an obvious strategic and skill advantage.

Gravity Punch : A phenomenon that occurs when an airborne player executes a melee attack on another which instantly causes the attacked player's demise.

+5 Agility : An expression that may be declared when a player subdues an opponent from an elevated position.

The Wells Effect : A circumstance in which the results of a game are directly affected by the team placement of one specific player who should realistically have no effect on the outcome (named after a certain less than formidable player).
