Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

This thread is for Halo 3 and Reach Multiplayer Discussion only. Firefight is included in this thread, please do not spoil where the Firefight maps exist in the Campaign. To talk about anything related to the Campaign or Forge, please refer to Fyre's Thread.
I threw out the old OP because most of it was rehash, obvious or outdated. Herein lie your thread guidelines:
1. Level-headed people wanting to have a good time playing Halo and dicking around, or posting stupid screen shots and movies feel free to add A PA ReachMulti to your friends list.
2. Do you feel the ever constant need to brag about kill/death ratio and how awesome you are? Here's the MLG FORUMS for Reach. Therein you can complain to your silly goose heart's content about how awesome MLG is and you can have no less than 72 virgins to be your personal Yesmen. Stop shitting this thread up with it. We're casuals for the most part and don't care.

also what the hell is crashsite firefight?
It looks like some weird sport/bomb game, but the one video I saw was so chaotic I wasn't sure how it was playing. It looked amusing however.
Grifball is from the Red Vs Blue folks. It's 4 on 4 assault with Swords and Hammers. The bombcarrier becomes Orange, like Grif from the series, and gains a speed boost and over shielding. Each of the 5 rounds starts with the bomb in the center the arena. The arm time on the bomb is instant.
CATCH THE FEVER.
One generator to defend, one life. You have the ability to lock the generator (for 30 seconds at a time) so it doesn't take damage. After 30 seconds, it unlocks and can take damage for about 5 seconds. On the plus side, they give you an overshield and infinite ammo. Most of the time I end up using a jetpack and a fuel rod cannon.
It's a gametype created by the community, taking the name and basic concept from a joke in a Red vs Blue PSA.
Two teams of 4, armed with gravity hammers and swords. The playing field is completely clear of anything but a neutral bomb in the center and an arm point behind each team's spawn points. When you pick up the bomb, you get an overshield and faster movement speed. Object of the game is to plant the bomb (instant detonation time) to score a point.
Yes, it's very chaotic. It can also be a lot of fun.
There's a ball in the middle of the court, whoever grabs it gets 150% move speed and shields
the goal is to plant the ball in the opposing teams goal, where the bomb will arm and detonate instantly
It's really hard and all around hilarious trying to score
Looks fun, Jetpack Ball
With Halo's awesome betrayal system, I can only imagine how much raging that would induce.
It was a fairly valid tactic in Halo 3 griffball! Pretty frustrating watching the bomb carrier sail over us, let me tell you.
I get off to a rough start, and this one dude starts tea bagging me like nonstop after a routine kill. Like it was a big deal.
Oh but it didn't end well for him. I ended up killing him for the next 5 or 6 times we encountered, including one being an assassination. I completely decimated his corpse with excess bullets and teabags every.single.time. We won by about 10 kills on top of that.
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.

Sorry about ignoring you invite josh, I was grinding out the kills challenge and was doing fairly decent in that match I was in.
And hotdamn if I don't enjoy backing up behind a corner and pegging someone who was chasing me with the shotgun.
As a ridiculous Grifball fan, this is the best thing ever and I hope there comes a permanent Grifball playlist.

Yeah, I loved doing that at the start of each round. Funniest way to reach the bomb first. Especially when you did it to someone unsuspecting.
It was the greatest thing on the version with low gravity for the bomb carrier. You could get launched literally like a hundred meters into the air and land in the opposing goal.
Who can tell him what will happen under the sun after he is gone?"
On that note, holy hell is Sniper Attack fun. Unlimited ammo meant I could tear through enemies with the Sniper Rifle, and picking up enemy Fuel Rod Cannons and Gravity Hammers made it even more ridiculous.
Evade is also a very fun ability.
Halo is so much better with a group.

please.

Halo and liquor, combat evolved? :^:
Gonna start the challenges for today later. I didn't even bother with the orbital one from yesterday...
I wish the challenges were individualized.
I thought it wasn't getting added untill the update in Oct.
Xbox: BamSaidTheLaday PSN: BamSaidTheLady Also on Steam! Streaming games!
Also I am contemplating buying more misc armory stuff or buying that blue visor, since I have to wait to be able to buy Mark V anyway due to rank.
Love how the Elites actually fit themselves into the various vehicles now
