Made some fun vids from last nights games.
This one I wanted to call Mediocre Secks, but since I couldn't put "Secks" on it, I had to call simply Mediocre: http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=58895969
This one here is the epic sword fight I had with Cashed: http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=58895769
This one is the return of the flaming mongoos, but this time I wasn't the Mongoos's victim... http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=58895853
And finally, this one vid is one of my big *** jumps: http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=58896024

Right after you left last night I had a terrible, TERRIBLE betrayal on Matt. I'll clip it down and send it to you later today.

HA! The person that got killed by the mongoos was Matt and it counted as a betrayal for me.

It reminds me of the start of Halo 2; considering that was on an Orbital platform...
I think... It's been a while. >_>

And thus, more like Halo 2's first level. ^_^ I will enjoy it... Oh yes... I will enjoy it... :sighs happily:
Anyone here read the novels? I'm almost done with "Cole Protocol". Not as good as the one's from Eric Nylund, but worth checking out.

They really just need to abandon the Halo 3 communication system and reinstate the Halo 2 system. Proximity voice was awesome.

It doesn't really matter anymore now that we have the "party" feature within the NXE.
It still matters to me. Halo 2's voice system worked very well and didn't need to be changed. You didn't have different playlists having different forms of voice chat. Every playlist used the "if anybody is in motion detector range of you, they can hear you, if you press White, people near you can still hear you, and you also broadcast to all of your teammates". People STILL forget that they have to push to speak in the Big Team playlists. With NXE's party feature, yeah, you can just talk straight up all the time for seven friends no matter what, but I'd still rather have Halo 2's voice system. Sneaking around and getting intel from enemies was a major part of Halo 2 strategy. I really miss it.

Even if I dont like the game, I love looking at concept art.

Ooo, I'm kinda liking Sandbox!
If that's the default layout... it looks awful. But an outdoor Foundry should be very nice! I'm just amazed how plain the map looks. Hopefully there are at least some Palm Trees you can drop in?
Edit: IGN sez: "Combines large-scale vehicular combat with a limitless amount of Forge customization. Boasting a tiered, open-world layout, "Halo 3" players will be able to build their own unique game experiences using the Forge map editor. Sandbox is a map unlike any Bungie has ever created."
Unlike any map Bungie has ever created-- except Foundry!
I really hope the "ceiling" of the level isn't too low.

Anyone played "Smashed" yet? It's probably the worst map in the game (it's with the cold storage and epilogue leagues). Bungie never ceases to amaze me on how they can ruin perfectly good maps (Foundry was alright).
