I'll be back on for ODST in a bit. Did a quick campaign jaunt with Blakout, his bro, and Teenagebog.
We got 3 tanks into the last part of Kizingo Blvd.
And we discovered the phantoms are invincible.
So uh, the reason the phantoms are destroyable on that level in Firefight appears to be that someone at Bungie marked the wrong version of the level as having invincible phantoms..
Tank Bro Squad approaches the last gate door. One tank starts up the barricade right away.
We work together to push him over. It may look like a tank clusterfuck to you, but I can assure you science is happening.
After team pushing, punching, and a bit of WD-40, we get the first tank over.
We set up the tanks again for the next one..
OBLIGATORY TANK SEX PICTURE teehee
All four of us spend about a minute punching the last tank over. So if you ever get a 3 ton vehicle stuck on a road, have everyone get out and start punching. In the shot, I just got in the tank which made it launch 5 feet past the vehicle barrier.
I was just playing throwback and got a message along the lines of
"the population is so low your not likely to get a game, go play something else"
o_O
Seriously? I constantly see my playlists well under 200 population, occasionally under a hundred! And I've NEVER seen that message, just how low was it?!
Is anyone up for a Firefight game over the next couple of games with me and Leitner? (Before Tuesday.)
No long games, going to test stopping the game at 1 round / 1 set to see how it records on Bungie.net for the FF Friday thing.
ie, if I need to tell people to end the game as soon as it says 'round over' or if you have to wait for the announcer to announce the next set of skulls..
it appears "One Round" Firefights are roughly 7-10 minutes in length. This might be a bit more common then than One Sets for the FFF thing, at least for Easy and Normal.
We also ran a test with the No Covenant stipulation. Oh man I'm glad we did that on Normal. I know now to save No Covenant for challenges that I want to make harder.
Quitting between when the announcer says "Weapon Drop" and before the countdown for the next round begins seems to be the best spot to end the game at.
I'll try to get a test for a One Set in, wonder if I should include or exclude the bonus round. I think I'll keep it since it's a "reward" for completing the entire set.
Yeah, when he said no Covenant I thought "no problem, I only really use the SMG, pistol, and hammer."
Then it dawned on me that the hammer was Covenant.
I was looking forward to playing Firefight more often with you guys, but my 360 decided it'd rather shit out an E74 error and go to Washington for the holidays.

Keep ODST, cause the Reach beta will be accessible from it once it's released.
Might wanna see if you can get your hands on a different set of AV jacks or an HDMI cable, Primus. When I got my E74 error, my brother told me that it can just be the cable that craps out. Unfortunately, mine was the component inside the console, not the cable, so I still got the E74 error.

I had some good games today playing with my brother on social slayer. One in particular was quite enjoyable as we managed to hold our own vs. four players when a party of four split between both teams quit before the game started. So right off the bat it was 2v4.
I know it's not the biggest deal when this happens, since it's pretty easy to just let the clock run out (which it did eventually), but it was definitely me and my brother playing as hard as we could. I guess the other guys just weren't very good at all? Dunno. Anyways.

Good times were had.
I'm either gonna do that or play more Metal Gear Online. Reply and let me know.
I was wondering if there was a way to get the scorp through those barricades to take out the dumb wraith in that map.

I plan on spending my nights between now and Christmas gaming away my work-related stress, so I'm sure we'll get our Firefight on again at some point.

I just don't know everyone else's schedules. :P

It's too bad we aren't in the same Division FF wise.
