    The new maps are pretty bad for forge.

    Yeah.

    Heretic is pretty much only if you want to change the weapon layout, there isn't really any objects that you can use to easily change the map flow.

    Longshore you can tweak, but it's still gonna be pretty much the same.

    Citadel is the most changeable with all the walls and crates you can put down, but Sandbox is still where it's at if you want a map exactly the way you want it.

    I would definitely be up for late night shenanigans. Mainly because everyone we've playing with is so very cool and partially because we all kick complete ass at Grifball.

    Sadly, I have work at 8:30 in the morning and will not be able to amass our super group this evening. I might be up for a little evening play this week, but not tonight. This weekend was awesome, though.

    I'd be up for something in about a half hour, but I'd totally lean toward Firefight.

    sounds good, just FR me when you get on.


    and on a different note....i hate not playing with a group, going into grifball alone is a frustrating and demoralizing experience. damn betraying 12 year olds

    So, if one of you guys wants to come over and accidentally borrow/steal/defecate on our copy of Mass Effect, so that we could actually play some haloes, that'd be awesome. :(

    Well, I wasn't playing it for all 4 hours, either. I paused somewhere in there to go pick teaparty up from work and take her shopping (the first time) both to walmart and to the mall.

    Thus why I was stalling from going back to walmart. :(

    "Honey I don't know what happened but the save files for Mass Effect got deleted! It's a huge tragedy. Anyway since the save was lost I hocked the game. Halo?"

    Problem Solved.

    There should be a Grifball varient where the bomb is a bouncy ball.

    Just the image of both teams running all over the map after it screaming "GET IT GET IT GET IT".

    And, how long does an Endure take?

    So if you're doing the Annual run, it's helpful to have someone who knows where they're going in front.

    Closer to two hours. You'd have to have one ruthless squad of killers to get past set 4 in an hour.

    Driving is actually pretty fun when you're not getting dominated by some douche with a laser.

    If a map has a laser on it your first priority is to get to the laser.

    How high does the skull point counter on your service record go for Firefight? My top score was 650k and I'm right in the middle of the skulls. Common sense pushes the score up to 1.2m for the last skull.

    Or am I wrong?

    The last one is at around 10 million points, I think.

    If you look at profiles of people that have all the skulls, the last three have ??? for the score, so I don't know the exact values.

    Best idea is on Snowbound or High Ground. Get the laser, and keep an eye on someone driving the ghost. He is bound to fuck up and get boarded. While he is being boarded, that's your 2 for 1.

    Every now and again Bungie throws me into an infinite login authentication loop that I can only break by signing out of everything via Xbox.com and then signing back in on both.

    That achevement was pathetic.

    Achevements are meant to be fucking achievable. I'm of the opinion achevements should be like ingame sidequests. Not something players get once in a blue moon with extreme luck.

    Oh, and I think Lone Wolves Snowbound has a Mongoose instead of the ghost?
