Halo 3

You forgot about the equipment. Though I personally dont use it to turn the tide of one gunfight, it adds a whole new level to Halo combat.
 
I'm finding that the equipment isn't as game-changing as it could be. The landmine is all but useless, the gravity lift is only useful in High Ground, and the bubble shield has yet to noticeably turn the tide of a battle in my experience.

So far the only really awesome one is the power drainer. It's more powerful and is useful in more situations than the others, I find. Especially this one time, Multi-CTF on Valhalla - one teammate mancannoned from the enemy base to the middle where I was waiting with a power drainer. As expected, three defenders followed on the mancannon, and a Mongoose started coming from the chaingun area of the map. So as the flag carrier runs forwards, I throw down the power drainer where the mancannoners land, pull out my battle rifle, one-shot the three of them, and then frag the mongoose. Needless to say, we got the capture :p
 
Wait, I just found something awesome.

1. You and your friend create a party.
2. Have 6 people in one of the parties.
3. Then go to your friends party with the six people.
4. Then usually one of those 6 people will get accidently booted
5. That person booted will have the custom lobby.
6. Invite everyone in.
7. Leave the lobby, and you will enter a new one--this time with the option to start a custom game!
8. Make invincible vehicles, enable banshees on valhalla, turn off the time limit, and make yourself immortal by going to "quick options" and then to "map override" or something like that.
9. Do this glich.
10. Fly up! When you leave the atmosphere roughly 2 miles above sea level, the banshee is SUPPOSED to be killed by a implosion from the vaccum. Because you made both you and the banshee immortal, you will survive.
11. Keep going. You will rise above the atmosphere and be able to stare upon the curvature of the Earth. The clouds will cluster beneath you, and the stars will come out. I have not yet been able to reach the stars.
12. Jump out of the banshee. When you finally hit the ground, you may richochet up to a mile.

Give it to me! I am obsessed with halo and can't afford crackdown(yes I do have a job). My twin bro who is in the military got in and I would love to be able to play it with his as he no longer plays halo 2.

wait, wait, wait- Foxtrot is your TWIN!?
Or was he in the air force?

/confused
 
My 360 is here! Well, it's next door and it's vereh early so I can't go knockin' for it yet. But yaaaay. I'm really glad they've extended the deadline to the beta as I have 2 important exams on the Tuesday before the deadline was originally going to end (Wednesday) So after my exam I can play for a straight week or so afterwards. :D
 
That looks kinda fun to mess around with. I wish you didn't need a party of 6 to get the custom lobby glitch. Too bad this space thing will get removed from the retail version or even later in the beta.
 
Anyone want to play some Halo 3 in a bit? I'm trying to get some of us together, we can maybe get that custom lobby glitch going. So far it's just me, Willeh, and possibly Zannovere. We'll probably be playing for at least a few hours, starting in about half an hour.
 
Personally, I kinda dissapointed that people found out about custom games now. If it was included in the code like that (with the among other things) I would assume bungie was keeping it as a surprise for everyone. Doesnt seem to be the case now... :(
 
I want to plaaayyy!

Beskhu3epnm if you haven't already. :D

edit: Got into a custom game with a mate and had a spin in the Wraiths. I like it. I prefer the fact that it has a turret - it looks cool and gives a good element of defence from infantry. The machine gun on the Scorpion made it insane to get close to, so I hope it has a secondary position for the machine gun on that too so that it can be taken out to get near to.

edit2: Amish you don't need a party of 6 to get into a custom lobby. I dropped out of a game yesterday and landed in a custom lobby somehow. Forgot how I did it now, but I also know a few friends get into it as a 3 man party.
 
Great, good for you. No one cares about the posts you make anywhere else so we'll take that for granted here aswell.
 
:LOL:

I'll be on tonight, playing Spider-Man 3, but if anyone else is on, I'll give H3 another spin. :D
 
I'll be on tonight as well. Willeh and I are going to be playing, so if you and Antipop want to join, and we get a couple other guys, we could do some custom games :D
 
Aight, I'll be on about 9pm GMT-ish. I'm not sure what that translates to overseas but whichever.
 
Ahh, you're in the UK. That's in about 2 hours, mirite?
 
Yeah, urrite. I'ma play some COD3 first then I'll go on Halo.

We should try some mongoose jousting. Speeding around with people using spartan lasers tracking other mongooses or people on the back with shotguns. :D

Although, can you have those weapons on the back?
 
Possibly, I dunno though. We'll joust and find out along the way :D

One thing I do want to try is a custom game my friends and I made up back when Halo came out, called Warthog run. Would anyone be up for that?
 
Sheeeet, just remembered tonights our BF2 clan night. And that's at 9pm, too.

:(

I'll be on tomorrow fo sho', though.
 
[edit: @ Willeh:] Do I ever :D

Okay, in case anyone is actually up for some Warthog Run, here's how to set it up and play.

Warthog Run

Options
Health: No shields, 50% health
Weapons: Rockets and grenades only (infinite grenades)
Vehicles: Warthog only (driver seat only)
Vehicle Invincibility: ON
Game mode: Slayer FFA, first to 50 points.
Gravity: 150-200% (will require a bit of testing)
Player Invulnerability: Unknown (will require testing)
Map: Valhalla

How to Play

The goal of the game is to get 50 points through two methods: Killing someone in a Warthog, and then using that Warthog to run other people over.

First thing to remember - think of the game as having fluid teams. Everyone on-foot is on the same "team", as is everyone in a Warthog. People on-foot work together to take down people in Warthogs, and vice-versa.

Now, if you see an empty Warthog, you MUST get into it, and you are ONLY allowed in the DRIVER seat. No riding shotgun or gunning in this game. Once you are in a Warthog, you are not allowed to get out at any point. You must stay in the Warthog, and get kills through running others over. When you die, control of the Warthog goes to whoever killed you.

If you are on-foot and you see somebody get into a Warthog, you MUST wait FIVE SECONDS before attacking them, to allow them a getaway to get their vehicle up to speed. However, this does not prevent that person from running you over in that first five seconds, so beware! Once the 5-second getaway is over, you are free to fire rockets or grenades at that person to kill them.

Once you have killed someone who was driving a Warthog, you must IMMEDIATELY take control of that Warthog. You are NOT allowed to attack ANY other Warthog drivers at this point. That is to say, you are allowed ONE driver kill per life, and once you have killed a driver, you will spend the rest of your spawn-life getting kills through running others over. [edit: Unless you're far away from your Warthog, and someone else takes it first]

Other things to note:

-- Kills made using the Rocket Launcher at close range are generally considered to be "less skillful" than kills made with grenades. At long range, rocket kills are acceptable, but remember that if you get that long-range rocket kill, you have to make it to that Warthog without firing at other drivers.
-- Extra points for medals may be turned on to give Splatter kills extra points. This would also add points for kills made using a sticky grenade and/or melee kills against drivers, so overall it wouldn't really matter.
-- Don't be a dick and rocket/nade other ground-pounders.
-- Sometimes, players will die before they reach the Warthog of the driver they killed, or they may have to trek across half the map to get to their Warthog. As such, if you see a Warthog unmanned for more than ten seconds or so, please try and get into it. It keeps the game moving and keeps it balanced.
-- Mongeese might also be acceptable vehicles, though it will be somewhat harder to run people over.
-- Gravity must be at least 150% to prevent players from continually jumping over the Warthogs. Otherwise it's impossible to run anyone over.

So. What do you guys think?
 
Sounds like it could be laugh. Tell you what, anyone fancy coming on in about 20 mins? 10 mins, even? I'll play til 9, so I'll get a good hour in or so.
 
I'll probably be playing Halo 3 for the next few hours. My tag is Soupstorm if anyone wants to join me. I'll probably end up playing Warthog Run at least a couple times if we can get some custom games going. Just letting everyone know.
 
I'll be online at anytime tomorrow, most likely around 2pm-ish as knowing me (although it's almost 4am now so I may not wake up until 2 heh) so hopefully some of you lot will be on. I'll add Willeh tomorrow and I'll scour the thread for more games. Need Iced and Warbie posting more, see if we can get them on for some games.
