For The Lulz is a worthier cause than For The Win.

From the skies to the ground, I'm the one that'll reign destruction down on you from behind the wheel and the flight stick. Keep your eyes on the rear view mirror, or you may be eating exhaust aside the road, riddled with holes.

My sniper is hungry for souls.

If at first you fail, fail again so that you succeed by wrapping your fail around the continuum into the win zone.

I forget which number it is. the "first 3 bullets out of an AR have nearly 100% accuracy" one.
that is 100% TRUE
i tryed the short controlled bursts. not only did it kill my enemy FASTER. but it also BEAT the AR spam tactic EVERY TIME


Now if only the DMR wasn't so random and Armor Lock wasn't so stupid, we'd have our competitive game back!

It's not my fault that I'm better than you.

On the level PoA, if you collide with one of the moving Scarabs in a mongoose your gravity will occasionally change direction.

The Telekinetic Scarabs are hilarious, but it's sadly never happened to me. From what I can tell, you don't even need to be near them. In the instances I've seen, people have driven nowhere near them and been flung around.

If I expand beyond 95, the TK Scarabs will definitely be in there.

EOD till i die!
Or atleast until i unlock Gungnir...

One thing i didnt see on there was if in forge you put a covenant shield (cant remember what its called its under scenery) in a large body of water in forgworld then the shield will do crazy flips until it despawns and it will be re-added to the budget. This offers very good entertainment for about 2-3 minutes. Great job on the post

Giant Spartan? I must see!

This was really funny since I can believe most of this happening.

Here's one you can add:


The IWBYD skull is named after the first Checkpoint in a mission in Halo CE.

I forget the name.

Not just portable shields. ^_^

If you put spawn points in the water, they flip the hell out for 2-3 minutes too.

Speaking of chuckles, let's all lol at IonicPaul, who makes friends with bugs to make up for his lack of human contact.

Note on #5: If you're in a vehicle that gets destroyed, even in the infinite armor lock glitch, you will die unless you have been marked "Invulnerable" by the game settings or if your vehicle was destroyed by a teammate while friendly fire was off (see: Firefight).

There was another mistake I wanted to correct, but I'm not re-reading all 95 to find one error.

That's true. I'm sure there are a few errors. I didn't exactly feel like proof-reading all 95 before I posted it. I corrected most of the grammatical errors, but there are probably some mistakes.

Obviously, I can't expect you to proofread this like it was your doctoral thesis or something. And even I, a grammar National Socialist (blams, hooray!), don't mind any errors you made (I honestly didn't catch any) because it was an enjoyable read, even if I knew about half the list.

That's a pretty awesome list. I think I knew all 95.

EDIT: The Koi don't disappear on Reflection when killed.

The BXR easter egg is also on Tip Of The Spear.

Many will enter, only one will rise to the top and he might not even win....

This is interesting, I didn't know a lot of these.

That must have been a particularly laggy game then, because I shot them and they just vanished. Poof.

I'll toss in another fun fact in its place, then.

3 Maps from Halo 2 are in Halo Reach. These are: Coalgation (Hemmorage), Ivory Tower (Reflection) and Ascension (Pinnacle). The Halo 2 Map Zanzibar is also on Halo 3.

I didn't bother to include that, since it's quite obvious, but then again, there are some poor souls who have only played Reach...which is like...a special kind of travesty.

Also, Ivory Tower is the only true Halo 2 remake. Hemorrhage is Coagulation is Blood Gulch.

Best post ever. Also, 87 happened to me, it was really weird.

It's never happened to me, but I've seen it happen to other people right in front of me.

I'm thinking about expanding beyond 95. What do you guys think?

By all means expand I love this thread so you know at least im reading :)

You can open automatic doors with a hollogram, very useful for safe shooting from distance.

You can target lock anything, I once target locked a concussion rifle 'bullet'.
