    The sig size thing is a recommendation and sigs that are close to it are supposed to be okay. And have been. Especially since I've had the sig I did for like 2 years now.

    Only that certain mods in a certain forum like to be sig size nazis and change people's sigs because of something (also probably because I remarked on it in the Whining Forum, which made the response predictable)

    Back on topic, I'm up for some more Living Dead tonight. The only playlist that doesn't matter if you pull generals!

    BWU is up

    "42748: The “Mongooses Only” vehicle set turned every vehicle object into a mongoose. The security cameras in Sword Base are technically vehicles so they can be made to move. Thus: “Mongooses Only” on Sword Base caused Gooses to hang out of the walls and ceilings of the map."

    "14579: The female MP Spartan model would, when her shields were popped, suddenly become the male Spartan model. IT’S A TRAP."

    they also talk about Race
    Racing in Reach will be a bit more comprehensive than the original Halo gametype…the icon is the same, but that’s about it. The basic Race is done checkpoint-style, with numbered gates set around the course to direct the flow of the race. We show the next gate number and distance in the HUD, as well as your current lap time. Race courses can be any number of checkpoints, and in custom games, you can set the race length to whatever number of Laps you want (up to 100!). We do some cool stuff like resetting you at the last checkpoint you hit if you fall out of the map, already in your vehicle, ready to roll. All in all, it’s a blast to play. The racing we did the night before ZBR was filled with as much screaming and profanity as you’d get from a Team Headhunter game, so I think we’ve got something here.

    Oh yeah, there’s also an option to turn on Land Mines. As cool as it is, I don’t think Forza has mines. Advantage: Halo.

    This bit seems to indicate at Ivory Tower remake.
    And while we’re on the subject of getting glimpses, Ken Taya wants to know when we’re gonna reveal one of the multiplayer maps he’s been working on to our lovely at home audience. I keep telling him that Reflection just might be at the top of my Best Looking Halo Maps of All Time list, but he’s not happy with personal praise alone. He wants you to see it in its entire gob smacking glory. The warm wood floors, polished to a high gloss finish. The metal, the marble, and the mountains just outside the massive glass windows. The vibrant, turning hologram of planet Reach suspended above the central hall. The revelation that though this space has a spectacular new aesthetic – it’s all ensconced around a space you’re already intimately familiar with.

    Did I tell you that when Marcus noted Reach’s multiplayer maps were taken straight from the campaign that we weren’t telling you the full story?

    Ken tells me Reflection has the biggest cube map in the game. I have no idea what that means, but I’m not lying when I tell you that this sucker looks spectacular.

    "Even before the idea to build a game based around Reach came about, a lot of other concepts were explored, up to and including a proper 'Halo 4,' where Master Chief was going to wake up from cryo-sleep and we were going to tell that story."

    Jarrard went on to explain that the idea never made it out of pre-production, saying, "it just wasn't as interesting to the team to just pick up where that left off and all the baggage that came with it."

    Fyre was talking about the living dead playlist. If people hid in the trees during a normal match, they would get killed quickly (no room to strafe).

    I actually went out of my way to betray one of those cockmongers who were killing zombies in the trees on isolation. I got booted but I didn't care at that point, I was happy to mess up his day.

    We need to figure out how to get up on these trees and push people off for the next zombie DEXP

    Bakken is quick to note that players will actually earn credits for ridiculous custom modes like this, but, he says, "Not nearly as much...We don't want it to be that players sit there, make the easiest mode, and earn a bunch of credits. They'll be able to do that, but they'll earn maybe a tenth of what they would in matchmaking."

    emph mine
    "The testers have started doing this thing where they give themselves invulnerability, unlimited weapons, bottomless clip, unlimited armor abilities, so they can give themselves jet pack and stay in the air infinitely and rain down unlimited rockets. Then they ramp up the AI to an insane degree, but since they're invulnerable, they don't die, but the AI are doing incredible things trying to kill them."

    You know, I never thought to try this in Halo 3 Campaign (not even sure if you can), but is it possible to hit a phantom with a power drain?

    And if not, I wonder if in Reach, you can find a way to EMP a phantom? Maybe by Armor Locking on top of it?

    Why the fuck do people replace the letter A with an 8? I mean, I could at least understand it if people replaces an "AT" with an 8, that makes fucking sense. But when you saying cre8ting, you're basically saying Kree-ate-tuh-ing.

    Another night in ODST, another out-of-map building scaled. It wasn't the tallest building out of Uplift Reserve, but still an accomplishment considering we had to launch ourselves 50ft up, just to get to the bottom floor. We also learned how to launch people using a warthog. We thought we knew how to before... but tonight we were getting results 4x as good as before. I'm talking about 10 seconds of hang-time here.

    Sadly, those rumors will be countered by the rumors that they can't run as fast, jump as high, or melee as hard. Seriously, I've been told all these things multiple times across Halo 2-3 about my Elite.

    Also, everyone believes that Elites are harder to headshot from behind. I bet someone will read this post and try to convince me it's true. However, how many elites do we see around in matchmaking? If it's a "clear advantage" in swat, then it would be an advantage everywhere else that has BRs.
