Halo series - Crimson Map Pack out now!

[Pluvia]

Yeah I don't think I've ever played Ascension either. It must be an Arena map.

 

[@TKbreezy]

acension=pinnacle

acension is what it was called in halo 2

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

That's what I was assuming. Then Asylum is the Sanctuary remake right?

 

[@TKbreezy]

yep

10yeps

 

[OnyxVulpine]

I haven't played in a good while.

Too lazy to connect the Ethernet cable to the 360 from my bro's comp haha.

 

[smash brawl player 99021]

Hyped for some Grifball tonight.

Ready for some Jhaas Pluvia Combo.

 

[rhan]

Same let's get it folks!

 

[Juggleguy]

Nice to see that I'm not the only one who is a huge fan of Melee and Halo.

I played a ton of H2 and H3 and I'm just now getting into Reach. Beat the Campaign last week, but college is kicking my *** a little too hard for me to go online at the moment. I'd love to get games in with you guys sometime in the near future, though.

My gamertag is Juggleguy. Send me a request with your Smashboards name!

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

@Icy: Stop ragequitting on me in doubles >_>

 

[@TKbreezy]

[Pluvia]

Oh **** did I miss Grifball?

 

[smashman90]

Yes, you did Pluvia. No me, Icy, and you combo.

 

[Pluvia]

[JustKindaBoredUKno]

[Pikaville]

Gotta get my final rating tomorrow.

No way I'm making Onyx this time round.

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

EDIT: They blocked mlgpro.com. No more watching Reach videos

Ridiculously easy challenges today. I am gonna DESTROY once I get home from work. Maybe even make Major? :-O

I haven't done enough arena to get ranked. :shrug: I don't really care that much.

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

I am gonna DESTROY once I actually know what they are.

[BanjoKazooiePro]

My internet went out on Monday and just came back randomly today for some reason. What did I miss?

Also, I'm just almost getting to captain rofl. I played the campaign since I didn't have live, and I was basically bored out of my mind. More gruntpocalypse I guess.

LIVE Activity for week of Sept 20th

http://majornelson.com/archive/2010/09/30/live-activity-for-week-of-sept-20th.aspx

No big surprise that Halo: Reach finally dethroned MW2 as the most played game on Xbox LIVE. Wonder if Black Ops will take #1 when it's out in November?

Is that even a question? Any new CoD game will be the most played. I know I'll be playing it for sure.

Personally, I'm rather surprised that MW2 isn't still the most played. Tons of people didn't purchase Reach simply because they don't like Halo. Mostly everyone likes CoD, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if it jumped back up.

Well, it'll be a tight race between Reach and Black Ops so we'll have to wait and see in November.

Remember, it was always Halo 3 or CoD4 a while ago.

I'm not surprised, it's some people's main reason to get/buy a 360.

Halo has more brand awareness than CoD in my opinion. All i can say is that we'll either see Reach or Black Ops fighting for the #1 spot.

It was bound to happen.

I also don't care what anyone says, the Armor lock is the most broken thing in reach.

If you are on a smart team, you should never die after using it.

How is the Armor lock ability in Halo: Reach "broken"? Most people just wait/reload/have a grenade ready for when you turn it off/run out of energy.

Most of the time, people who use Armor lock die after using it cause they're vunerable/out in the middle with no teammates to back them up.

I admit, it kinda helps when you're in a tight situation (i.e. You're almost dead but in the process of capturing a territory and you're stalling for backup.)

I still think the Jetpack ability for Sprtans and rolling ability for Elites are the most useful. Cloaking ain't too bad too but it messes up yours and nearby enemies radars.

I like the armor abilities in Halo: Reach, they really change the gameplay cause they allow you to do stuff which can influence anything.

Whenever I find someone w/armor lock a teammate of theirs usualyl shows up the exact time when the need to >_>

I agree.

 

[BanjoKazooiePro]

Noooo, I reached my credit limit lmao. I've just been playing gruntpocalypse all night, up to about 60k credits again. Leveling through captain is pathetically easy, I'm almost up to grade 3.

 

[Master Xanthan]

I hope they lift the rank limit soon. Because apparently you need Colonel rank to get the gold visor(which also means other armor could be limited to this). But from what I heard Lt. Colonel is the rank limit right now. What I wonder is why have a rank limit in the first place?

 

[Pikaville]

I nearly ALWAYS stick with someone in Halo games.I think thats where armor lock become broken, in teams of smart/skilled players.

Armor lock+competent team mates=death for enemies

All you have to do is run ahead get some shots in, then let your team mate(s) finish the job.If they have it on too, you can switch it up and do serious damage.

Jetpacking would be the most useful if you could go awesome places in the map WITHOUT dying xD

It's so others that aren't at the highest available rank are able to catch up to those who are.

I think it's in that link Odin put here a few pages back.

Also mentions the playlist changes coming.

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

You know, I was really thinking about typing your name out like that but I figured you didn't care that much

justkindabored icy and I were doing work today in Arena Slayer.

Who wants to kick the weekend off playing the first day of Season 2 Arena Slayer tomorrow? :D

 

[@TKbreezy]

Dude I hate armor lock sometimes...but only when its like 3 people and I just so happen to be shooting the one with armor lock so then he locks on me and I get fuuuuuu (not like i wanst already fuuu'd anyway)

but I do like armor lock when I bounch that sticky grenade and it lands on their feet as soon as they come out of it...lol

also Punch -> Backroll-> headshot is my fav move with the elite roll

 

[rhan]

TK: tryna play like right now? Or are you in school? lmao

I'm bored and I gotta stay up until 10 to get my check..

 

[@TKbreezy]

NO **** YOU...lol

I'm at work and when i get off at 2 I'm driving to NC going to Siege tomorrow in GA and riding with some NC players to get there

 

[rhan]

Naw it's all good lmao... I wouldn't want to play with me either...

Also even if you wanted to play at 2 that would have been a no go. I sleep til like 5:30 and then go to work at 7pm and get off at 7am.

Gravvveeeeeyaaaarrrrrrdddddd shiiiiiiiift.

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

Naw it's all good lmao... I wouldn't want to play with me either...

It's to stop players from getting out of the map. Kind of link BF:BC2.
