Halo series - Crimson Map Pack out now!

[O D I N]

Really? Never noticed it then. Probably because I never did anything in Forge and just played Halo 3's multi-player and nothing else.

'Twas. Forge was pretty awesome around the Sandbox era (Era?). They added more filters with that map pack, and I'm almost 99.99% certain it was there.

I'm more interested in the Green, Purple, and Orange color filters. SO many zombie map ideas. God, I love me some infection. ^_^

40 animations for assassinations is sick... They did say some are story specific though, but still. Craziness.

New ViDoc. I suppose it could be seen as spoilers; showcases the team. And the narrator (and the end).

New ViDoc is nice, introduces the characters pretty well...

Halo: Reach snagged early from Microsoft's servers

http://www.joystiq.com/2010/08/20/halo-reach-snagged-early-from-microsofts-servers/

"Modders at Game-Tut.com found a way to trick Microsoft's servers -- which are currently hosting a $1250 download of the game's files intended for game reviewers and meant to only be downloadable with a code. The site has yet to openly leak the files to the general public.

It appears that the game is leaking other places as well -- at least one video shows off a tour of Forge in the game's Firefight mode, and spoilers for the game can be found everywhere from Bungie's official forums to NeoGAF."

****, I don't want the ending of the game spoiled for me. *runs away from the Internet*

Seriously.

Okay, giving everyone a heads up; copies of the game have been leaked via M$ putting the game up on Live to have download codes for reviewers. People found a way to get a copy.

SO. Watch where your eyes go. Go dark if you want nothing spoiled. The internet isn't safe.

On a side note;

Spoiler

I found a vid of the Armory unlockables. Some nice stuff. :D Not sure if it breaks any ToS to post, so for now I won't.

 

[smashman90]

Eh, I saw the armory vid and the ending to Reach. I really liked all the neat stuff the armory has. Not gonna comment on the ending.

 

[JustKindaBoredUKno]

so apparently my friend got his hand on a copy. gunna head over and play it in a few days. any questions/things you guys want me to find out?

 

[O D I N]

Can you send me a copy? :D

 

[JustKindaBoredUKno]

haha. he said he's downloading/downloaded it off a torrent, apparently its all over now. Bungie/microsoft just doesn't realize how badly it got out.

Either that or they don't really care, since you can't play online anyways, which is like, 80% of the game

He'll be banned if caught playing it on his modded 360.

Ah, well, hopefully he won't get busted.

Microsoft fires off salvo of Halo: Reach pirating permabans

http://www.joystiq.com/2010/08/25/microsoft-fires-off-salvo-of-halo-reach-pirating-permabans/

Xbox Live Director of Policy and Executioner Stephen Toulouse commented on the bans on Twitter, explaining "as with all unauthorized play on Xbox LIVE, anyone playing any unauthorized title runs the risk of account permaban and console."

Besides, you'd be an idiot to even try to connect to XBL with a modded/Jtag'd 360 console.

[JustKindaBoredUKno]

Lol well of course he's not going to go online, he'd know better then that.

**** his work schedule. I may not get to it til this weekend =P

 

[Pluvia]

Hopefully they permaban thousands of modders like they did just before MW2 came out.

Anyway you know these hacked/leaked copies of the game going around? Does anyone know if it comes with Flaming Recon?

I was afraid to highlight that spoiler but I couldn't resist it...thanks for not spoiling anything.

Naw he spoiled it for me... I'm hella pissed right now...

Let's see who's sarcasm meter is busted. :]

 

[RuNNing Riot]

... it's done.

After three years of sitting on the back burner, I have at last attained the 'Two for One' achievement on Halo 3.

Spoiler

With a little help from a friend, of course, but hey, it counts!

I'M READY NOW! BRING ON HALO REACH!

Is that the double kill with a laser? lol

I don't think I got that one yet. I also don't play Lone Wolves... I bet money I should have had it though from all the Team Slayer games I played.

 

[RuNNing Riot]

I've had that for a while. Lone wolves boosting FTW.

Actually I didn't do it in Lone Wolves. My friend was well over twenty levels above me so that was out of the question. Then he spotted the Double EXP Weekend playlist, Mythic Brawl, and we managed to pull it off at last after about a half-dozen language changes. We ended it in a French Laser Tag on Standoff. XD

One problem I quickly found after that was that the achievement's now in French, but I don't care. My shiny new EVA helmet looks cool, btw.

 

[F8AL]

I got all of the original Halo 3 multi-player achievements when Bungie didn't really care about boosting in LW. Now they'll ban you for doing that.

The worst Halo 3 game type is splockets. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!?!?!?!?!?

 

[O D I N]

I got my two for one in a free for all oddball game. Run around with the laser, and aim for the guy with the ball. You'll usually have a guy (or in my case, two) chasing the guy with said ball. Worked like a charm.

That was the last achievement I needed for my sword. I effin' earned that @#$%. No boosting here. All. Man. Baby. :D

Hahahah Odin, you probably sent a message to all "Recent players" asking to help boost. The only Armor I ever wanted was some Elite one for getting an Energy Sword Triple.
Never got it.
Oh well.

I will stab you... 3 times. So I can get my triple kill AGAIN. How dare you make such accusations at me, you lot. :spitooie!:

The triple kill with a sword was another free for all. I got mine on construct camping the lift to the right of the sword spawn. Was tasty.

 

[Flashing]

Hay guyz, am I the only one who will get 16 people in a custom game/forge with all of them having hologram and activating it at the same time all together so the holo stays put.

Maybe its just me.

Sad face.
I hope I'm a bit more capable at this game compared to Halo 3.

I still need that achievement too. Actually that's the last achievement I need as well. How did you get help from a friend with lone wolves? I thought you could only have a party of 1 go into the playlist?

Ask people in the pre-game lobby. Invite to XBL party and communicate. But be warned, Bungie will know and ban you for boosting for the achievements now. Before they didn't care.

It was pretty hard back in the day when there was no such thing as XBL party chat so you had to do private chats.

Really? I just boosted for a few achievements recently and nothing happened to me.

Also, I wish I could try and boost for the last achievement but sadly my mic is broken so I"ll have to get a new one. Until then I guess I'll just spend a lot of time in lone wolves.

 

[RuNNing Riot]

I did try and earn that achievement somewhat more fairly at first by asking people in the lobby, but after two days of it I just wasn't getting results. Nobody ever talked at all, much less responding to my pleas. Kinda sad, really.

Also, F8AL, I think it would be rather tough for Bungie to tell if somebody's boosting for Two for One in a match where you spawn with a Splaser. XD

Well, 2 years ago when I got them, 95% of the time when you joined a LW game people would say "anyone here wanna boost for LW achievements?" and I complied. Normally I'm against boosting in a video game but I consider it "okay" for Halo 3 cause Bungie loves to add online achievements. I hate them actually.

I didn't get it with a Splasher.
