    If you look at my friends list via FoF, people can suggest people to eliminate..

    What you do is make skull save profiles. The annoying part is getting each profile all the levels, but I think you can do this by just playing co-op with that profile and playing through and beating the last level.

    Then you get a checkpoint right before the skull, save and quit on that profile. Now you can grab the skull, then just quit out and load up the normal profile. The skulls affect all profiles until the box powers down.

    I did this especially for Envy since it was the camo skull, and you can do a glitch where Chief has permanent camo..

    ... which I used to get IWHBYD

    ... which I used to get IWHBYD

    This is a fresh profile, so I'd have to go all the way through the game first. I don't mind playing most of the way through a level to get a skull, so no need to set up skull profiles. I'm doing this to kill some time before ODST, so I want to get IWHBYD without the camo trick. It just kinda sucks that there is only a 1 in 7 chance of the skull showing up. That, and fighting 7 waves of special ops elites. I found a nice area to store weapons, and I can block off the main entrance. My main issue is the hard to spot beam rifle elite assholes.

    Also interesting tidbit from the podcast, they prototyped Firefight using the end damn section from Sierra 117.

    Still don't know why they didn't turn that into a multiplayer level.

    Here's how I would tweak it for multi:

    - shorten the building ledge (where the skull is). Match the natural rock ledge so both sides have a big sniper ledge.

    - make the towers a bit more of the same. Make the windows smaller but remove the glass so they can be grenade flushed.

    - remove some of the ground clutter to open up sight lines.

    - keep that tunnel/path that goes between the two sides underneath the dam


    Would make a nice 6v6 map at least

    edit: they could also make those huts on each side

    926632_20070928_embed024.jpg

    as seen on the left there, match up instead of one being blown out and the other in one piece.

    sigh, adding another remake to my list..

    But for now, massing out Uplift remake. Nothing is floating or fancy yet, just figuring out the space it's going to take out

    that's the bridge structure and the lift thingy:

    So I went to Sierra 117 armed with some pan cam (tm) so I could get some good reference pictures.

    Might as well take a pic of the mountain while I'm up he- hey, what the hell Bungie, you actually modeled the mountain!

    sierra_01.jpg

    This is how big Sierra 117 is compared to the mountain.

    sierra_02.jpg

    The arrow is pointing to the area in this next shot, the overhead shot. Looks like a multiplayer map already!

    sierra_03.jpg

    A pic of the towers so I know their size relative to each other.

    sierra_04.jpg

    The path under the bridge in the dam wall, this is going to be the hardest one to do right.

    Holy shit. What genius/madness. That as a multiplayer level would be amazing. Though I really wish Bungie gave us multiple forge playgrounds with other environmental settings than fucking sand (snow, grassland, urban, etc...).

    That overhead shot makes me think that Bungie could whip that into an MP map with a minimum of effort. Can we guilt them into it after a less than generous Bungie Day this year?

    I think our best shot, is that one company that made the Halo:PC maps doing it after ODST comes out. I think I recall Bungie saying that after the Adverse maps, they are done with Halo 3 entirely, but aren't opposed to other maps by different people.

    Okay, I've added up all of the times from your campaign run and the leader's.

    Unfortunately, you're about 1 hour, 56 minutes and 34 seconds behind.

    If you plan on re-doing the rest of the campaign missions, I suggest you take it as slow as physically possible.


    Let me know what you plan on doing, as the chance for improvment ends in 6 days.

    back to the grind *cry*

    edit: it's doable, since I still have room to roughly double all the remaining missions into more time.. but this also means I need to go back to Cortana.

    I'm not normally normally one to cuss, but fucking hell that was some hot shit. A minute and a half traversing three generations of hardened soldiers versus and implacable enemy.

    Nothing I've seen I've the live-action Halo stuff disappoints; folks need to get this Halo movie garbage ironed out right now. It doesn't even remotely need the Spartans; just seeing the Covenant war from a regular trooper perspective would be something incredible. I could seriously do with some hardcore military science fiction which isn't just oozing "war is bad dur dur dur" crap every other line.

    Are they even speaking English in that commercial? It doesn't sound like they are, but the way it's done it doesn't even matter what language it's in. See, Sony? That's how you get people to go "oh shit, must buy now!"
