OH BY SCIENCE...

First I'd like to say to the Bungie developer who made Jackals and overcharged shots: -BLAM!- you, lol!

I found this entire event funny so I thought I'd share it with others =).

Ok so I finally decided to go for some Vidmaster challenges. Naturally I decided to start with the easiest one- /Coughsarcasmcough- the Vidmaster Classic achievement... So like most people I loaded up Uplift Reserve (actually I was doing Legendary anyways so I just figured...) and got goin'. After a half hour of HELL and DEATHS and FAIL (and that was just in the first section XD) I finally get a Ghost to use for the rest of the mission. 10 minutes later I'm in the area with the Grav lift platform facing the final Wraith that stands directly in my way. It moves, the path is clear, so I speed on by!

HALLELUJAH-! (Tiny green splash, ghost suddenly glows blue as I speed past Wraith, bounces into piece of steel in path, and falls to ground) ... First thoughts: OMFGNOEZ! WTF?! (abandons ship as Wraith fires, destroying my Ghost) ... Second thoughts: Jackals... Legendary... Overcharged shots... Either that or I had the only case of Ghost engine failure I've ever seen... Guess I know now why it was ditched in the middle of the map, lol...

So later I did what any reasonable person would do: I used Theater mode to find who to -BLAM!- the next time I saw them, and what do you know: Overcharged shot from HECK... Luckiest shot of all time; typical luck for me -_-... If nothing else it had me laughing for a while after.

So anyone else have any miserable fails on ODST or Halo 3 lately?

Hah, awesome story. Jackal + Wraith = ohnoes!

I've had my fair share of ridiculousnesses, but I don't really remember any of them.

Who knew a Jackel could ruin someones life?

Here's my story:
-Last week I was playing Firefight for my last Achievement, there was 3 of us on Rally Point, Heroic.
Me and my friend Carnage were playing good, but our 3rd guy was a kid that just kept Rushing outside and getting killed, by the end of each Round we had 0 lives left and we had to go up against Chieftans, THANK GOD we survived, although our 3rd guy always died...

The 2nd Round started, me and Carnage are staying back by the spawn taking enemies out from a distance, then the Covenant drop a Wraith, AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW? Our 3rd guy runs out with a Hammer trying to smash the FREAKIN WRAITH! He gets demolished and we lose yet another precious life...
Soon after a flock of Drones enter the battle, and there out 3rd guy is running outside getting his ass handed to him while me and Carnage are SCREAMING at him to get inside, guess what? He died.
Once again we had to go up against Chieftans with 0 lives left, luckily we survived again... but our 3rd guy didn't.

This Round we started with 2 lives because I died as soon as it started, you know how? Because our 3rd guy thought it would be funny to THROW A GRENADE! Little did he know I was already injured and our life hadn't restored itself yet.
Yet again the Covenant thought it would be funny to drop another Wraith at the start, so they did. Our 3rd guy tackled every enemy in his way on his journey to the wraith, but then he got blown up...
We were down to 1 life now, and only on the 2nd Wave. Not only was he dying, but he was threatning to leave if we kept telling him what to do, but what did it matter, he wouldn't listen anyways.
We got to the 4th Wave before Carnage finally died from a Drone, our 3rd guy wasn't doing bad... for now. The finale cam along, and we had o lives... AGAIN! I died from a Fuel Rod Chieftan, our 3rd guy died from a Hammer Chieftan, so it was all up to poor Carnage, he stayed back in the base, trying to pick them off as they came through. He actually did it, red health by the time it was over. We all gave him cheers!

Now we were at the Bonus Round, we needed 6,000 points to get extra lives, we got about 15,000.

Now this is the Round we all get our Achievements, by the time we got the 3rd wave, we had already lost 3 of our 6 lives, 2 from the 3rd guy, 1 from me. Mixtures of Hunters and Brutes for this last wave, the 3rd guy instantly died from a Hunter, as he tried to beat it down to death... which didn't work out so well. Carnage died by a Grenade, which came from a damn Grunt. I didn't die at all on the final Round!
We were less than 5,000 points away from our 10G, Brute after Brute, they fell, when all of a sudden...! RUNNING RIOT! For 5,000 points!

We all got our 10G, SCREAMED at the Kid for dying so much, and we all went back to the Lobby... which wasn't a good thing for the Kid...

I died 3 times, carnage died twice, and as for the Kid? Well lets just say it WAS OVER 9,000! - 8,085 = 15!

That's my story!

I was doing endure with friends, we had 17 lives, we were on the 3rd round, 4th set, then pop comes 4 fricken chieftanz, (or 3) there goes all our lives in one round, then everyone dies but on guy, theres also one chieftan left, and all the guy has is a small pistol. hes shots and dosges (while being the only one left) and then he died. so we spent 2 hours, got to the 4th set, 3rd round, and 5th wave, got a few brutes away and failed. I wish bungie would make it not PAST the 4th set, but to it. =(

Simple Plan for ever! Yes I'm a emo and I don't care what you say. I love all my friends and my guitars! Emo4life! <3

got to the final round on firefight (trying to get endure) and then a chieften killed me and another person. Then a Jackal sniper killed other person leaving one guy left. He got owened by a flying box

OH BY SCIENCE...

Lol, seems like Firefight is the place to go for the best epic fails XD.

SonicJohn: Good thing Bungie.net remembers for you XD.

xReconAssassinx: LOL: That kid's fail had its own gravitational field, pulling everyone around him into a black hole of fail XD! I'm surprised you didn't just kick him and start over.

I personally only play Firefight on Easy difficulty. No getting stuck, and its less of a hassle and easier overall to get achievements. Don't see why people are all playing on Heroic and Legendary (besides for Vidmaster achievement).

stp09h34e/stp09210: 17 lives, but no survivors, lol XD... Thats some bad luck or some AWESOME Chieftains, lol...
... How'd ya lose your log in info, lol?

SPARTANSHOOTER55: Endure seems to be the bane of most Vidmaster attemptees, lol... I'm an Elite, so the quest for Recon armor is meaningless to me, lol.
ROTFL: Wanted for extreme Endure Pain in the -BLAM!-iness: Chieftans; Snipers; Tilt Skull; and... Flying Boxes?! LOL!

This is a forum, your post is a blog.

In the interests of dicussion, however, no I haven't had any ODST fails lately. I rented the game, completed all the achievements, and returned it. It was a good time.

Returned it? But how are you going to participate with the Reach Beta?

Anyways, I don't get the distinction, lol, but that's ok. Just wanted to share a funny story and hear some from other people, so its still serving its purpose =).

Daleks conquer and destroy!

ha, lol. Reminds me of when I was trying to get the campaign meta game points in H3. I was on the second level, legendary, with Iron on, I died multiple times. So I thought to my self, if I die one more time i'm quitting! So, things where going well for the next 30 seconds. I ran up to a grunt (who was standing in the corner) and melee'd him. Next next thing I know a grunt sticks a marine and the marine starts running towards me! So I try to back away and then remember I'm in a corner... BAM. I hope people spit on his grave, he killed the master chief and Truth activated Halo... Earth goes kaboom and it's all his fault

No worries, its included with ODST; the game disc itself =), so you have it, even if you don't realize it, lol.
