Woah.

I was gonna say it got cOLD in here... then I realized

Spoiler

that wasn't the OTHER Easter Egg on Pillar of Autumn.

 

[F8AL]

I never said it was new, all I said was that I just found it out today.

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

That Nightfall glitch is pretty lulzy. Got the challange completed after my third or fourth try. (though the hard part was the area before the giant beast things area)

 

[O D I N]

I am seriously considering a 'Pro-pipe' montage. I've gotten some god **** good kills with that thing.

And I want my title on Smashboards too.

[Pikaville]

Get premium, join the DR and that title will be yours!

Also I'll play with anyone who is on tonight.

Disco Room. It's a private/hidden room that only members with premium membership on SWF can view and post in.

Probably my best match ever, it reminded me that Asylum is the best map in the game.

The two story on Red is so good and I was two away from a Riot.

Oh, they just changed the name. Got it.

 

[:mad:]

So I snapped my disc, won't be playing Reach any more. Blame it on Infection.

And to the "booster" claim, if you think there's something wrong with campaign laser designating, then you're a ****ing idiot.

 

[RuNNing Riot]

Just checked out my Bungie.net stats. Man I love the AR. Positive K/D spread of +165? That's the best I've got for any weapon! Of course, going negative with the DMR was to be expected...

Oh, and Smash Champ? You play way too much SWAT.

Went on a RR earlier for team Snipers. First one!

Cheers!

And you snapped your disc? O__o Really??

 

[The Real Gamer]

So I've been obsessed with this song recently... I love video game music, and this is probably my favorite from Reach. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EHt7k-vT1U

The song is so haunting and depressing at the same time. It also plays at the perfect moment in the story. It really makes you feel like the end of the world is happening in slow motion right in front of you... And it also reminds you of all of the soldiers/Spartans that died in combat for the sake of their planet... Reach.

We did work.

Also I have now completed the weekly challenge 3 times and it still hasn't given it to me.

RRRAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGEEEE

I think I'm close to snapping this disc as well.

I don't see the problem with it.

1. Being a higher rank is not advantageous in any way

2. Having a large amount of credits does nothing

3. Doesn't affect anyone else in any way

What's the problem? So I don't want to kill 100000000000000 elites in campaign the long way, sorry I have a life.

 

[Master Xanthan]

You can just kill elites by playing lone wolf level over and over again, takes like 30 min.

 

[rhan]

Thunder, why was you just in my party chat not saying anything the other day? lmao

It was creeper like.

 

[BanjoKazooiePro]

You can just kill elites by playing lone wolf level over and over again, takes like 30 min.

But why do that when this is faster? It's essentially the same thing, just using the laser designator. It's technically not even cheating.

 

[The Real Gamer]

So I snapped my disc, won't be playing Reach any more. Blame it on Infection.

1. Why did you snap your disk exactly?
2. Why get angry over a gametype as lame as Infection?

 

[O D I N]

Exactly what I was wondering. O_o Seriously.

Cliffhanger will be found in Rumble Pit, Team Slayer, Team SWAT, and Team Objective.

 

[rhan]

I knew about all that about 3 days ago... lol

btw, Atom is a terrible stage. Cliffhanger is legit though.

 

[Master Xanthan]

Eh, I hate both atom and cliffhanger. You can get spawn killed so easily on cliffhanger in swat.

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

Thunder, why was you just in my party chat not saying anything the other day? lmao

It was creeper like.

idk no one else was talking so I didn't say anything :/

 

[F8AL]

Yeah...sometimes Joystiq and Kotaku are slow/late at getting news.

I should really start checking Bungie.net again. Haven't done it in the past several months.

 

[rhan]

idk no one else was talking so I didn't say anything :/

We were in a match. And we were screaming at each other the entire time. xD

You should join us sometime so we can have legit 4v4's. We usually get stuck with a terribad 4th person.

Yeah...sometimes Joystiq and Kotaku are slow/late at getting news.

I should really start checking Bungie.net again. Haven't done it in the past several months.

Yeah it helps if you check Bungie. Even though I learned all this through the game updates.

I don't see why people hate Cliffhanger though... That stage is hella freaking legit.

I'm saying nothing was broken. /Inspector Crusoe'd

Anyway, I've been playing A LOT of Fallout: New Vegas lately, so I haven't been playin' Halo that much over the last two-three days.

I have an interesting idea for a map in the area above Blood Gulch, particularly with Alaska/Montana.

Stay tuned.

 

[:mad:]

Guess who just joined the Running Riot club?

THIIIIISSSS GUYYYYYYYY <c

 

[F8AL]

You guys haven't gotten Running Riots yet?

 

[:mad:]

Think about what you just said. You say it as if 15 killstreaks are every day things that anyone can get. And I play exclusively SWAT and Snipers, so it's not like easymode BTB with tanx.

http://www.bungie.net/stats/reach/careerstats/medals.aspx?player=II F8AL II&vc=3

WHAT, YOU HAVEN'T GOT AN OVERKILL YET?! <c

 

[rhan]

I've gotten a Perfection and a Overkill in the same week.

I'm not too sure on Running Riot yet though. Gimme a good game of Team Snipers and I should have it soon.

I didn't mean for it to be interpreted that way. I was just surprised that you just got a RR from playing Halo: Reach online.

Well, I'm not going to deny that but I don't really care how I got them.

Nope, I haven't played Halo: Reach online for a while. Been busying playing the campaign on legendary solo.

Cheers on the RR

I've had 3? O_o

Although I think I got them from that game of Falcon ownage with Thunder. XD God, I love the Falcon.

Do I have any takers on map assistance tonight/tomorrow during the day?

 

[F8AL]

I'm not sure which I hate more: Elites or Jackals on legendary difficulty.

Elites just kick me in the face while Jackals drop my shields with their l33t plasma pistol homing shots.

A few more levels and I'll be done! Yay!

Woo!

Plasma weapon+Headshots=Skills for kills Agent! Skills. For kills.

Seriously, a plasma pistol/rifle is great for any shield, even those pesky jackals.

My favorite setup is probably Plasma rifle (original)+Needle Rifle. That way, I can take out Jackals/Elites shields easily, and have the needles ready for Brutes.

 

[F8AL]

I'm currently at the end of the mission 'Exodus', just need to active the 2nd turret and press the button in that building.

I c wat u did thar. (Crackdown FTW!!!)

Yeah..I just shoot a DMR bullet into that hole in their shields and headshot them. ****ers keep taking down my shields. And I've died by Grunts several times. HUMILIATION!!!

Really? Plasma rifle? I never use that thing. I hate it how the iron skull (I think that's the one? The one which makes all the enemies dodge your grenades) is on during the campaign. God, it's so annoying to see Elites just dodge the grenades.

The needler is pretty good on legendary. (When they stand still...)
