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!

No you don't.
You get to the end once, no matter how many times you died. Save at the last possible moment. Reload, and complete the level.
Ta-Da!
Oh, yeah. Now I remember doing that months ago. Silly me!
Still refuse to do it on principle :3
But they probably figured they were evening things out since they remade Derelict into Desolation and removed the teleporters..
Is it just me, or is the lighting really shoddy? Everything is sort of the same washed out brightness. Highlands is particularly overbright. The terrain is also terribly undetailed. It feels like something from Halo 1.
They've been kind of 'bright' since the Mythic Map Pack in Halo 3 though.
Also Defiant FAQ
http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=news&link=Defiant_FAQ
Apparently Reach has a bug where it is only allow 3 marketplace items at once in it's folder. Which is strange, because I had Bungie Pro AND the second copy of Defiant and they still worked.
edit: okay, this is probably because my Bungie Pro Confirmation is in Halo 3's folder.
I'm on the fence about purchasing it, and just looking for a good excuse to fork over my cash.
Anyone want to full-party the Defiant playlist tonight?
If you announce the winner of the FTZ contest and it is me: bet your ass.
Otherwise: not for a few days at least.
Even more confusing, Spartan and Elite Skirmish will start on the maps even though they don't actually have any objects placed to support it, so you just hear the Announcer announcing the dropm point moving when no drop point exists. This is not possible to do on any other map.. the fuck?
I guess we'll have to wait for Bungie to release versions with Invasion support into matchmaking soon.
(it already still is though)

Field Marshall -> Hero -> Legend -> Mythic -> Noble -> Eclipse
Why do you think they called it "Defiant"?
harder to kill elites with the rocket hog... but so much easier to kill ghosts and wraiths
I gave up video games (for lent or otherwise) because I need to be more productive in school.
I can't afford to fail this one class and I need to be as productive as possible.
You'll probably be seeing less and less of me but I'll commit as a full time Bee this summer

Also, Good games tonight. I had fun if we won or not, (except when I was lagging like a bitch.. which was far too often)
We were the ones who thought that Melissa was real. Why you might ask.
Let me put it this way, it was an "OH SHIT OH SHIT, THEY FOUND ME
Some of you have met me, and I understand your concern of my well being. But that time for that boy, that child, are gone now. Viscount Alpha is no longer operable. His functions are now mine.He may post, but I am the one talking not him.My data, my code will live on forever in his servers.

So these maps are really awesome. Honestly Condemned looked really crappy from previews but it's great. I'm getting a very Marathon Infinity multiplayer vibe from it. And I played BTB Snipers and BTB Slayer on Highlands, and let me tell you, the pubby tears...how they are delicious. I forgot that new maps bring in some seriously stoned dudes.
Highlands is one of the best maps for Team Snipers.

1. I do awesome without any power weapons.
2. Team member just randomly starts killing me.
3. I get fed up after 1-2 deaths and no option to boot.
4. I kill em and get instantly kicked from the game.
What the hell?!
The worst part is, I get betrayals and kicks all the TIME because team members are doing stupid things like trying to assassinate someone I've stuck. I can't afford to have this crap going on every game on top of it. I have NEVER gotten the option to kick a team member after one betrayal, so why am I constantly kicked for one?
Maybe I should just stick to free for all for a few HUNDRED games and I can catch a break after. >_<
It's horrible! I go out of my way to assume my team members will do absolutely stupid stuff just so this doesn't happen. I miss out on tons of wraith/rocket/grenade/other kills just out of fear I'll hit someone on my team being an idiot. Only to have a teammate boost his ghost into the nose of the wraith I'm blowing up...
It even happens with my brother! The only blessing is he doesn't kick me! I've gone into forge and tried to improve, but forge tells me the same thing I already knew. I made the right shot to kill an enemy, teammate runs up and joins the death! Argh!
I feel your pain man, i was getting booted from about every 3rd game because people would do stuff to get them betrayed, id appologize but still get booted. The only way to end it is to play with people you know/non randoms.
Jumped in the gunner seat of a warthog that they wanted? Shot at until dead.
In-game cinematics taking too long to complete and they're impatient and bored? Shot at until dead.
Took the big gun and/or weapon they wanted? Shot at until dead.
You're trying to play the game properly? Shot at until dead.
And then there's those that just melee you to knock your shields off every 5 seconds.
