Finally finished the Reach Campaign last night. Quick question

After the credit rolls, you are left alone and have to survive. I at some point died and you get a nice chat about how your sacrifice help saved human kind. Is this kind of a no win level, like even if you try to survive as long as you can, it won't make a difference or is it really a possibility to survive that last bonus stage?)

A no-win situation is a possibility every commander may face. Has that never occurred to you? How we deal with death is at least as important as how we deal with life, wouldn't you say? Well, now you have something new to think about. Carry on.

Yes. This.

AuburnTiger

Apparently I have broken my game; I can fall from the point and take no damage; just did it 5 times in a row from different parts of the map.

This is got to be somehow connected to my inability to get the achievement; but how?

Aaaaaand . . . I just got the cheevo. And I know how. GODAMN THIS GAME.

Try not falling to your death in matchmaking now

Go jump off the spire

Forge question: WHY can I only put two lights

are they really that taxing on the system? the give us like 8 to choose from but we can only place two total

brilliant

Domhnall

So I've played the first four combat missions and the second last one up to the cave defence on legendary and I think...I think this is possible. I can do this! I've also learnt how to headshot things reliably.

It's a shame that score attack doesn't let you continue from your previous checkpoint but getting to the cave isn't very hard.

Oaka23

The cave defense is actually strangely easy, its like the one point in the game where your team is truly useful

Though that may just be due to them soaking up all the bullets for you

DarkPrimus

Yeah, while the tank section I died a couple times, the cave defense went off without a hitch. I would say it was the easiest of the levels on Legendary, in fact.

Yes, even easier than Winter Contingency, assuming you're actually fighting all the encounters.

LCDXX

Would someone give me a hand with the weekly challenge? I just want to sprint through Winter Contingency or something...

Pretty please!

I was following a guy in Invasion who jumped off the Spire. My plan was to follow him down and then air-assassinate him when he hit one of the yellow lifts and bounced back up, but unfortunately he completely missed the lift and splattered all over the ground. And since I was following him without a jetpack, my doom was imminent.

Fortunately, the guy had fired off Hologram in the middle of the fall. So when I took a swipe at that, it somehow reset my fall speed and I managed to crouch-land in perfect safety.

While bullets will travel through Holograms, melee attacks do not. Probably something to do with that collision detection.

Grenades being physical objects is so much fun. I'm just sad you can't nade-mortar like you could in H1, by throwing one grenade and another right next to it before the first explodes, causing the second to fly off into the air.

TheUnsane1

I will do the coop legendary run once i finish off the firefight ones.

rabblerouser

I was glad the campaign didn't have actual snipers

I can help with this if you need.

TheUnsane1

Wow... I just died with 2 guys left on firefight. Son of a bitch.

Anyone else looking for the weekly? Looks like LCD got a group.

Nocren

So I might have to get Bungie Pro with all the Forging I'm doing.

So here's my idea: King of the Road. First map is called Overpass and I'll post pictures when I'm done.
Multi-Team King of the Hill, everyone starts with a Gauss Hog, with a regular Hog as the Hill. Vehicles obviously invincible, players are not. You get two loadouts both with Grenade Launcher + Concussion Rifle, either Armor Lock or Sprint.

So how do I get the spawning problem taken care of so that you spawn near your teammate?

And obviously I'd like to play test this with a full party of 12 players (6 two-man teams).

Oaka23

Sounds awesome, Nocren, dunno if you can really do anything about the spawns though, as far as I know you can only sync team spawning in terms of when they spawn

Wait, isn't there a game option to allow you to spawn on teammates? If you spawn on a guy in a vehicle you're thrown in an available seat

Nocren

Yeah, that's Invasion.

Luckily all the KotR maps I plan on making are going to be very open (simulating open roads and such) so it's just a matter of getting your driver to stop.

Dox the PI

God dammit

Can't blow up the scarabs on the last level

Just shoot the power thingy and orange hunter blood comes out

then the Scarab goes out of the map and kicks you out.

Nocren

So King of the Road and Overpass are up in my fileshare.
Overpass is about 90% done. Still need killzones to define boundaries.

hailthefish

I tried making killzones/safezones and they never work for some reason. What's the trick?

PaperLuigi44

'Tank Beats Everything!' is now ticked off on my list thanks to OG and Celix, although it took a few re-loaded checkpoints. Those damn Fuel Rod Turrets are just sadistic.

You have to hover over it, select options and expand the zone's dimensions.

Oaka23

You can only spawn on your team in invasion? Sucks.

Anyone know if you can allow territory capping in vehicles? You could in H3 but I can't seem to find anything to enable it in Reach, and without it I can't do my Halo version of [strike]American[/strike] UNSC Gladiators Atlasphere

The Dude With Herpes

You can spawn on your team or at points on the map.

just hit up and/or down when you're waiting to respawn for different options.

Oaka23

I meant it as in you only have the option to spawn on your team when playing invasion and not another gametype

The Dude With Herpes

Ooooh, ok.

hailthefish

Yes, I know how to change the dimensions, but how big does a kill zone need to be?

Mechanical

Note that they're inactive while editing. Launch it in an actual gametype and they work fine.

So hey, is there some trick to the fire fight 1 million achievement? I made a custom game and two hours later I was only half way there... am I grinding this the wrong way?

I had invincibility and unlimited ammo on while putting the difficult on Legendary. It is taking FOREVER.

EDIT: I am sorry for being a terrible TOTP.

maximumzero

I still think ODST is my favorite title in the series. Am I alone in this opinion?

Also I bought Mega Bloks today woot woot.

Here are the pics I promised of my ongoing Battle/Beaver Creek Tribute.

An overview. Teleporters connect the back of each base. Currently, the rocket launcher is just where you left it on top of the arch, the sniper is across from it. A shotgun is in an alcove in the river below the sniper, and the GL is in the opposite alcove on archside (PROTIP: the GL's primary fire mode does not bounce if it enters the water)

The front of Red Base. Red Base is laid out in what is basically an S shape on one story. The roof is accessed by jumping onto the corer that is closest to you in this picture

The view from the Roof of Red Base is breathtaking

The front of Blue Base. The bottom floor that I am entering in this shot basically only contains a couple of spawns and a ramp up to the second floor

The View from Blue Base's nest

Still doesn't have a name yet, but perhaps you could help with that. I mean, I've done all the work so far, its the least you could do

So my map is pretty much done (for slayer, anyway), but I need help with respawn points and zones. I get respawn points, but I'm not really sure how zones work.

Anyway, I've put the current version up on my FileShare as "Tributary" I'm not crazy about the name, but it is a pun on "tribute" and "creek", so theres that. If you think of something better, let me know

go here to download it and see for yourself

also, any suggestions on places to put flags, bombs, oddball spawns, headhunter deposits, hills, and safe-zones are more than welcome

Took me and a friend about 2 hours

enjoy

edit: wait whoa whoa whoa

they have halo megabloks

my first foray into a toy store since my first job will occur tomorrow

Check the popular downloads for gametypes or search for something called 1 million in 10 minutes. Real quick and easy. Bonus rounds of gold elites give 500k+ points alone.

Mechanical

Downloading. Also, here's a thing as well.

No pictures uploaded yet, but thoughts?

omgomgomg

that is the best thing ever

they even had grunt birthday party on

holy shit

edit: AND halo wars vehicles? WHY MUST I HAVE NO MONEY

The Dude With Herpes

You know, considering a single scorpion can take out two scarabs, not to mention fleets of banshees, phantoms, wraiths, and every other covenant vehicle; why doesn't the UNSC pump out tens of thousands of those fuckers and end the war?
