OK. We've all provided a chuckle or snort when Cortana dumps the Chief up-side-down in the T&R in the beginning cinematic of Two Betrayals. We've watched as the limbless Elite Combat Form chases after the Grunt as we start playing, and all have averted our vision and sht our eyes, not wanting to face the ominous drop-off into the coolant head-on.

Some of us have gone a bit farther, and just NOT jumped. It's not that we're scared, in fact, it's the very opposite.

"Wait, what the hell is he talking about?" you might say. Well my friend, this very rare and obstinent breed of gamers like to see just how long they can last against the pre-programmed wave after wave after WAVE of Flood forms that pour out of the ceiling at the end of the hall before the drop-off. It's a statement to prove to themselves that they do, indeed, kick that much ass.

Now, here's where i implement my suggestion: [color=white]B.NET MODS, HEADS-UP![/color]

Similar to the timing of the Maw race, you should start an contest to see who can last the LONGEST while standing up to the Flood onslaught, taping and timing from the very first wave ("Threat level increasing! I suggest we jump, NOW, Chief!!") until they succumb to the overwhelming hordes.

A testament to everyone's Single-Player skillz. Whaddya all think?

I'm way too lazy to construct a site of my own. I don't even know how. Anyone out there willing to teach me HTML or something?

That's a really good idea. I've tried doing that on legendary and got my arsh handed to me after a minute or two.

Good writing, but I think all of bungie's spawn triggers have cut-off points.

If the triggers cut off, then there would be no purpose of jumping. I'm more interested in getting to the other side of that hole, however... where the grunts are running. Oh, and it's not Two Betrayals, it's Keyes. You should get your levels right.

Sounds like a lot of time to devote to staying alive, but i am sure there are some our there who want to try, just not me... lol

oh and if you want to learn html, just do a google search for:
"how do i make a website"

Check the movie database at halo.bungie.net, i belive there is a video of just that, getting to the other side, it involves grenades and good timing.

that sounds like the right challenge at the right time. i've been taking the long way around on legendary this time thru - you know, exploring the possible rather than just trying to get thru.

since i'm wrapping up Two Betrayals, i know how i'll spend a few hours when I get to Keyes.

much thanks.

I've been at forums for years, so I'm pretty experianced. You guys are pretty funny, and I think that's because you don't have brain damage unlike most of the bungie-goers.
