    I think the engineers are carving all those symbols you see around the city. And probably laying the stones out. They were
    trying to repair the superintendent, after all. Maybe they were sort of worshiping it?

    Those symbols are of Forerunner ships. The Key Ships/Dreadnoughts.

    well there were some carvings of the superintendent too, so I think
    it's referencing the super finding the ark in a seismic reading

    also I'm such the coincidental racist

    I also interpreted the Y's at face value, as they were always around the Elites. It was the Engineers going "Why?"

    That quick game with my friend took two and a half fucking hours because he decided to play normal firefight. I mean it was fun and I got my Alpha Site achievement but jesus long game.

    Recon acquired. Just did Endure without some dickweed dc'ing on us like last time. Very fun.

    Did some matchmaking afterwards and won some games. I feel the armour helped me win :)

    It'll be nice to wear something not alot of people have right now. I still like the look of it by itself though. The only thing that made me switch from Elite to Spartan.

    Re: thread title... Really?

    Overshielded flyers, invincible hammer brutes, and suicide grunts, and someone's complaining about jackals?

    Anyway, just played some Halo 3 campaign and was seriously missing ODST. Too much Flood, a weak pistol, and SMGs that are back to looking like something you'd borrow from the neighbor to put up drywall, as oppposed to sleek black instruments of destruction.

    So I finally bought ODST for $68AU but my internet speed's down, though I suppose this is good thing as I won't have to worry about having my ass repeatedly handed to me. :P

    Anyway, does anyone want a 48 hour code?

    Played some Action Sack last night. I'm amazed that people still don't know how to play Team Stickies. We won 25 to 4. It may have helped that everyone was crowding to gawp at my Recon.

    I remember about two months ago when I was in BTB and saw Recon for the first time in game. Dude wasn't even playing. Just standing in the base. One single guy kept trying to rally the team into arming the bomb. It was fun listening to him get angry then just sighing over and over again.

    My God, I played a game of Ninja Assault where the fucking carrier just wouldn't arm the stupid thing. He went around getting melée kill after melée kill until two seconds before the timer ran out, and planted it so it would explode in Sudden Death. I was so angry.

    Someone did this to us once, only he fucked up and didn't plant early enough in sudden death so the round ended 1 second before the bomb blew up.

    Wait for the the 7th of any month. There will be a unique playlist (7 on the 7th) that everyone starts at 0 exp for. Get 7 exp. I expect there's quite a few people waiting for that one.

    There is a specific playlist that only comes out on the 7th of each month. Since each playlist has it's own xp, you just have to win a game in this playlist 7 times to get the achievement.

    Since I've just kind of been playing a bit here and there at my friend's house while I wait for my Xbox to be returned I hadn't really looked into the Vidmaster achievements.

    I thought Deja Vu would take forever until I just saw how it's supposed to be done.

    with some pointers from Rat last night, I think I might actually eventually be able to beat the first mission SLASO. Some of the object/health pack placements convince me that you are in fact supposed to run like a bat out of hell through certain parts of the level.

    All the achievements for campaign can be done on easy, right? Because I might do a run through on easy right now and get all my achievements so I just have to do my last 200k and then be done.

    e: excluding CC: Legendary because I'm not looking forward to it.

    You need to be playing on Normal if you want more than the sleuth ones for going through campaign.

    Normal it is, then.
    I've never bothered to try and get a CC: Legendary before, do my co-op level finishes count towards that? Because I mean I did my Deja Vu run and I really don't want to solo legendary coastal highway.
