due to extreme lag, sometimes when you die you stay in your body as if your were alive but whith no weapons and on the floor (duh)

in this scenario you can see inside your body!
my friend also did that

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.

OT: If you look down and push upwards on your left stick and hold RB in Monitor Mode, you can speed through Forge World in les then 10 seconds.(I think, maybe 15)

In order to get the InvinciFalcon, play Winter Contingency on Easy or Normal. Grab a plasma pistol and proceed with the mission as you normally would. Soon after you get to drive the trucks, you will be told to go to a house ahead. Drive over the bridge and look up to your left. Jun's Falcon will be hovering there. Climb up the slope to your left and use an overcharged PP shot to knock it down. The "pilot" will only be ejected if you manage to flip the Falcon over, which is easy enough if it falls onto the slope. Once the cockpit opens, you will be able to fly it.
you can do it on any difficulty. just blow through the mission and get the truck and PP to the checkpoint in that part where the falcon is in under 4 min.( I tried 4 min. and 2 seconds and it didn't work.)

136. If it is REALLY laggy then if you kill someone they won't respawn for a while and they will look out of there visor as if there alive with blind skull enabled. just laying down. they can look around it just doesn't look like it.

P.S.
it has to be SUPER laggy, not just moderately laggy

132. You can set players to "be the flag " in a custom Stockpile game.


How?


Not entirely sure. The only reason I know this is because DavidJCobb made a gametype called "Repel" where one player on each side is assigned to be the flag and they have to stay within the flag collection area. If I had to conjecture, I'd say he must have found the option somewhere in Stockpile's options. That, or perhaps he set an Armor Ability to be the flag. I'd guess he was clever and set the flag spawn as player spawns, essentially, but the fact that another person becomes the "flag" when the carrier dies makes me think otherwise.

book canon-wise at least, the Spartans have very suppressed sex drives.


IIs, not IIIs, Spartan IIIs are also less psychologically stable by a lot.

They had vastly different augmentation procedures, achieving similar effects but with a significant level of mental breaking. It should be noted, Spartans should never breed, their children would not survive birthing, and would be terribly malformed due to the hormonal and physical differences.

Actually no, but I just tried it out in forge and it gives a simmular result only that it does'nt become fj/para, instead it becomes some other shoulder which i cant tell what it is :S


Only time it has done that to me anyway is when i wear the robot armor.

Looks like I need to brush up on my Halo novel knowledge, because I don't recall them not having suppressed sex drives. But it makes sense.

I found out that because you cannot splatter Hunters, you can launch them into the air instead! Click here to watch

I know. It's so much fun. But evidently, you can actually splatter Hunters. A day ago, I watched my bud splatter a Hunter with a Warthog in FF. Dumbfounded, we all just kinda went... "I didn't know you could splatter a Hunter...."

138?. Destroying the Fuel Rod turret of any covenant vehicle, even though it is tremendously harder to kill than an elite if you don't have plasma grenades, is only worth 2 cR.

I'll try to come up with some more in a bit. I've been quite busy working on some maps and testing them.
