I got the most amazing stick just now. It was intentional too. I'll have it in my file share.

One guy is chasing me, I turn a corner. I kill one guy who follows me, then his friend tries to finish me off. (Had the same name but with a [1] after it) I throw a blind sticky around the corner and he walks right into it.

Omg, they must have been so pissed at me.

I might. Gonna play some lone wolves tonight also because I want to reach lv.40 and I am at lv.32(I think). Because there is a clan match between Mjolnir Battle Tactics(Which I am a member of) against some other clan (don't remember who they are). And we have to be at lv.40 to join. It shouldn't take me too long to reach lv. 40.

I got a pretty sweet stick too on The Pit.

On the Right Side of the place I was just walking up a platform (the one with the turret), turned around and threw a random grenade at the lift.

And someone was on the air lift going up o_O

Hilarious stuff xD

Man, I can't wait till the "Heroic" map pack becomes free! All my friends tell me to buy it but i know that it's gonna be free soon.

Gangsta is just some troll that gets banned and comes back to get banned again. I've seen him multi-post and post flamebait a lot so it's no surprise that he came back to do it again.

Rat's Nest is the only good Heroic Map IMO, and even that isn't too great.

So would you say that buying the Heroic map pack isn't worth it because we all know that every map pack will eventually become free in Halo.

If I may jump in with something to contribute:

Heroic's worth money IF (and I must stress the IF) you like making maps in the Forge. Foundry is so ridiculously customizable it's frightening. I've spent hours just tooling around with different out-there ideas. If all you want to do is play with friends, wait till it's free. But if you like Forge but feel like it's limiting you try out Foundry.

I don't think the Heroic Pack was worth the $10. First of all, two of Halo 2's first four maps released were free, a gift to the community (supposedly thanks to Mountain Dew). The other two maps were four dollars. Now we get three maps in the first Halo 3 pack and they're $10. Ridiculous. You're telling me that these three maps justify a price of 1/6 of the actual Halo 3 game? Halo 2 ending up getting about 13 or so downloadable maps by the time all was said and done. Are we going to be paying $10 for every god **** pack they release? If the $10 price continues, I'll likely stop purchasing them and wait for them to become free. I love Bungie and all, but that $10 for three maps is ridiculous.

But the best Heroic map is Standoff. Second is Foundry. Rat's Nest is pretty terrible for anything except Slayer, and isn't fun at all when people stay in the middle of the level instead of using the vehicles. They're on a 30 second respawn for a reason, people. >:|

Yeah, the Heroic Pack is not worth $10, especially when you consider that now, it takes FOREVER to find a game in Heroic DLC b/c only about 1500 players use it at any given time. Plus, I have only played it in a ranked match about 4 times, 1 standoff and 3 foundry. So once the maps initially come out and everyone plays them for a while, they just almost disappear unless you do custom games on them. This can also be aggravating when they show up on ranked matches because I am not use to playing them, and do not know the levels as well due to lack of playing them. I also did not like the 6v6 they did with Heroic DLC b/c foundry became a huge AR fest. Hopefully the next map pack will be only like $4 (of free). I would love it if they would make the maps free and a required download, thus everyone can get use to them and incorporate them in their Ranked/Social play with all the other maps.

Bungies making some playlist changes, you should check it out on their home page. I'm liking pretty much all the updates they've made/making, but which they would make SWAT a permanent gametype and maybe introduce some social Shotty/Snipes.

Social Shotty Snipers? Play Social Slayer. It's been coming up WAY too often lately in that playlist. A couple nights ago Alt and me were playing and got it FIVE times in a row as the first matchmaking choice. Eugh.

I love they're doing a Grifball tournament, but seeing as the only good Grifball maps are Foundry and Rat's Nest, I don't think it's going to be very good. I'll definitely play though. Double EXP? Yes, plz. SWAT was rad in Halo 2, and I'm really disappointed to see it only returning as a tournament playlist. Everybody better play the HELL out of it so they make it a permanent playlist.

I just played Grifball for 7 hours straight with three friends. Definetly one of the top three videogame experiences for me. It was so freaking fun. I got to see some of the sexier medals, I got a Killpocolypse and my friend got a Killionare. I'm a little frustrated that the medals go into your social medal chest on bungie though, because now the Killtrocity I got on a BTB will just look like another one of the 15 Grifball medals I got.

I've racked up over 70 experience today with Grifball. Jesus. SO EFFIN FUN. TRY IT NOW IF YOU HAVENT BEFORE.

Although I warn you, if you don't play with friends, the experience won't be as good. I was plus 33 k/d one game with 1 armed bomb and 3 bomb stops, and still lost because of sucky teamates that don't know how to play.

Don't use the sword unless against Grif, and don't betray people= good teamates.

Yeah, you want to use the Sword against the bomb carrier, it'll kill them in one hit. If you use the Gravity Hammer, you're more than likely just going to give him a boost towards your goal.

I just played Grifball for about an hour with a friend. When we can tell the other team has the connection host, we just betray our teammates. All in good fun. Otherwise, we rock. We only won about 5 games in the hour we played, actually, but still, we were having so much fun that winning didn't matter. This is exactly the kind of playlist Halo 3 needs. Something that's new, refreshing and not like anything else in the game. Instead of wanting to pull my teeth out I'm just laughing and laughing.

I got a Killpocalypse during my second game, which should've been a Killionaire. Immediately after it said "Killpocalypse!" I died and it said "Double Kill!" Should. Have. Been. A. Killionaire.
