Your web page links are broken. Map callouts are not working.


Thanks for the heads up. I recently moved my site to a new domain, so I still have to work out all the kinks. It is now up and running, and now includes some bonus maps not previously covered-

I really don't know why. Try typing into your browser-

www.shadowstrike1.net

and then from the main page, click on the "Callouts" link on the top menu bar. You should then be greeted by a list of maps to choose from. Click a map name, and you will be brought to a page where you can view pictures of the map with callouts on them. To navigate away from this page, use the top menu bar again. You can click "Callouts" again to go back to the list.

Member of team Master Theory.

17th Mythic Conqueror of Halo 3.
5th Mythic Conqueror of ODST.
If you would like to know more about Mythic difficulty please go to this thread. Thank you.

Please do not send me "recruitment messages" as I'm not interested in joining any groups currently.

Nice site. Your little youtube signature is cool, so is the rank evolution thing. :-)
It's also pretty easy to navigate although I noticed a few spelling/grammar mistakes in the lesson descriptions. Nothing major, but just sometihng you might want to look into if you get the time.

Question with that "MLG" Mic can you really hear people couching near you?


Posted by: TuffJuice
I have the Astro A40's and mixamp. You can't hear someone not moving obviously, but you can hear footsteps if they start crouch walking near you.



Any decent headset is good enough to hear footsteps tbh, it doesn't have to be "MLG."

The Astros are probably better than most, but even with something basic like Steelseries Sibera v1 or Turtle Beaches you can hear footsteps really well.

I've heard from a lot of people that the best cost/performance headset is the Seinheiser 550's, but since they use open air, they're not great for loud places like MLG events. If it's just for your home though, you might want to consider these.

And before someone posts it, "use internet explorer" is not a solution, it's a workaround and doesn't solve the issue itself.

Lol thanks. Little project i put together here and there over the years. Finally got it moved to a dedicated domain. I'll look into those mistakes... didn't realize I had them, but then again, I'm never one for proper English :P

Yeah, it's kinda messy for a reason. I originally created my homepage on an older computer with a fullscreen monitor, and sloppily lined the rank-image-swapping timeline with the image of the levels, but then as I viewed it on a widescreen monitor, it became ruined, as the number bar was centered, but the timeline was aligned to the left. I tried to change it around, but I quickly gave up as It's been awhile since I messed around with HTML and javascript. My quick solution? Align the numbered level picture to the left, and fill in the blank space on the right with some stat signatures. Who knows? Maybe one day I'll build up the energy to go back and do it right.

Glad to hear it :) Be sure to share what you've learned with your friends, and pass on the knowledge.

Yeah, this whole thing started at about 2a.m. one restless night and I decided to type up what was on my mind. I quickly found myself adding to it here and there, and then videos came shortly after. It kept popping up on the board as people would return to it, or I would refer people with questions to the thread, and eventually, roughly 8 months after it's creation, it was pinned as a Top Forum Topic, and 1.5 years and 100's of ignored friend requests later, it still stands in it's place.

Thanks Bungie for taking an interest in my thread and helping me get the word out to all. I promise to someday make it up to you. Perhaps with cake and personalized mousepads...

In other news, what have I been up to? Mostly just enjoying my free time, chilling with my fraternity, and trying to grab the last few Halo achievements so I can reach Milestone 50 in Halo Waypoint. The only achievements I have left are about 4 Firefight achievements in ODST, I have to complete the game on Legendary in Co-Op in Halo Wars, and I have my one skull that I refuse to grab in Halo 3. Hopefully I'll be able to obtain Milestone 50 without having to grab the skull... Otherwise, my heart may break.

So what do you plan to do during the Reach Beta? Test the DMR, Sniper and how many shots it takes to kill.... and so on.

P.S. Your vids really help

Reach!

If you want help with fire fight I am willing, don't need any blazing good friends in Halo. I have them... but I'm in need of some firefight achievements. Don't care just an offer, I've played since CE myself, even CE PC! I'm an old fart, 33 years! But I'm good enough to help you with your ODST, Damn think I sold Halo Wars.

I might actually take you up on that. The thing about it is that they usually take 1.5-2 hours and its boring to do alone, and an extra gun might make things go faster.

  • 02.23.2010 9:31 PM PDT

I like to play firefight but without MM it's kinda tough to find people who also like to play it semi-regularly. So if you are looking for someone to play with send me a FR. I have all the vidmaster achievements but don't have a problem in helping out...especially if you are doing endure. SC

Im a 41 in LW...I'd like to say that I could get to a 45 there on my own but I really think that 41 is about as far as I go. I don't need a 50 but would really like to get to 45. Obvioulsy your suggestions still aply and I think for the most part I do them all, that is where I just need to be better and am not. So that brings me to my question on how to find a teammate for doubles?

This seems to be a very common issue. I tried to put together a group called Tips To Reach 50, but it didn't really catch on, due partly to my lack of coordination, but other than that, the MLG forums are a pretty good place. Or really just randomly searching in MatchMaking, and as soon as you find someone you enjoy playing with, party up and see how things go. If theres something there, then send a friend request. If not, then move on. (Wow, I sound like a dating therapist...) But when you're ACTUALLY searching for a new partner, you really have to be trying, and that means being very open with people, and trying every chance you get.

yeah, this post has supprisingly made me rather well recognized (not trying to toot my own horn). I always smile when I go into a game, and someone recognizes me and I get to have a chat with them. Granted, if I lose, the chat doesn't always stay friendly, but at least it's there :)
