So this is where the heart of the game really lies. This is what you'll see all of us playing night after night, and what probably 99% of this thread will be about.
So you wanna play some games with us? Awesome. It isn't hard, just find someone in the list posted below and send them an ingame message with a Friend Request. We used to have a XBL account just for finding people, but none of us use it. After you get into a game with us, you'll probably be confused as shit as to some of the lingo we use. So I made these: Spoiler:
Avalanche Spoiler:
Last Resort Spoiler:
Rat's Nest Spoiler:
Sandtrap Spoiler:
I have a mistake on this one. Where territory 5 is, is where Territory 3 should be. Territory 5 is actually on top of the batcave.

These guys:
Aren't these graphics amazing!?
These guys kick ass.
Master Chief is Mr. Awesome Spartan guy that has earned himself the nickname "The Demon" by the alien Covenant. The Arbiter is the peak of bad-assery. This guy challenged the beliefs of the Prophets, turning the Covenant into a Civil War.
Don't confuse these two guys:
The guy on the left is the Arbiter we know and love. The guy on the right is some horrible "Arbiter" from Halo Wars that lost to a regular Human in Melee combat while he was Dual Wielding Energy Swords.
So while Playing thru the Campaign, you'll find yourself here traveling thru Earth, Then the Ark, then a replacement of Installation 04 that you blew up in Halo: Combat Evolved. Get yourself some skulls and have some fun.
The Bees
Spoiler:
These guys are smelly. ______ These guys are NOT smelly.
Currently we have 2 groups that actively play Halo 3. Basically the standard group, and the Bees across the pond. Some of our Bees have been around since Halo 2, they be old. Call them grandpa and expect them to tell stories starting with, "well back in halo 2 days we used to..."
So this here is a list of some of our more active members. Feel free to get in touch with them to get in on some games.

Then we've got our Morning group/Across the Pond players. Spoiler:

Halo:Reach way down the road, and Halo 3:ODST this fall.
Spoiler:
Halo: ODST comes out fall of '09, and includes the following.
-Gameplay from a normal human perspective
-Squad based gameplay.
-A free roaming overworld, not a level by level experience.
-Halo 3's multiplayer (as in cross compatable)
-All the currently existing Halo 3 maps, as well as the 2nd half of the Mythic map pack.
--Long shore (believed to be a nod to Headlong)
--Heretic (a remake a midship)
--Citadel
Halo:ODST centers itself on 4 characters.
The Rookie, who acts as the lead of the game. You'd play as him if you played alone.
Mickey, an unknown role in the squad
Buck, also unknown role in the squad
Romeo, the squads marksman, apparently a wiseass.
Throughout the game the players will find themselves playing out flashback sequences. What these are about, we're not entirely sure.
The game is considered to be a full on stand alone game, but at the same is rumored to be shy of a full priced new 360 game, due to the somewhat short singleplayer.
On my way home from work if there's anyone up for some games.
I would, but I just picked up an original xbox so I could play KOTOR without the multitude of bugs. I'm going to try and make it off the first planet tonite if possible. I do so hate that first planet.
Edit: Firstborn, shmirstborn. I'd gladly give it away for an OP position. A child lasts 70 or so years. A place on the internet lasts forever.

Well, Kor could at least hyperlink the map pack images (just copy the link location off the old ones) and unspoiler them. Because the maps are going to be basically required for EVERYZING now.
