Objective holding is a pretty universal griefing in Halo games, unfortunately. But that's what happens when Bungie has a precision kills weekly the same week they debut objectives in a playlist that is the fastest for getting them.
I'd just avoid them and move on.
Also, Bungie needs to remove Kill/Death from the post game screen for objective gametypes.
It'd be even worse if they had put in Swat 2 Flag.

Yea. I know, I'm hoping that was a one time thing. It was the only objective swat game so far that I've run into that with though. it's just that it's 12 minutes of waste, and we only wound up, with about 50-60 kills per team... that's easily 2 games of swat.
and that last sentence is an incredibly evil thing to say. Let us hope that is never done. *shudders*
edit: per, not between. big difference there, lol.

Oooh new maps, although I need to play the ones I have more I still haven't loaded Reach up. I'll have to check this thread more often for when you guys play. The only reason I've played Black Ops is because most of my friends have it.
Forcing unsuspecting people to play Worst Race Ever is delicious. That is all.
I'm kind of scared to ask.......but what is the the Worst Race Ever? Is it related to the worst gametype ever (midship koth with unlimited rockets)?
You'll just have to find out for yourself.
To those who tested Descent -- would you be so kind as to give it a solo run, see if the teleporter camera angles are still wonky? Everything seems fine in Forge and solo customs on my end, and I've no idea how to fix it or even tell if it is in fact fixed without getting a bunch of dudes to test again.
That wreckage looks a lot like the tail end of the Super Carrier from "Long Night of Solace."
Also, real time glassing in an MP map? YES, please.
Maybe now we'll actually play some Firefight.
That's what i thought too when i saw the picture of it, but the video makes it seem much more jagged than the wreckage of the Long Night.
I just played the level, and the shape of the carrier's wreckage, and parts of the Savannah match. So maybe you're on a ship that shows up afterwards to combat the entire Covenant fleet? That seems to be the battle raging in the background.
On top of that, the glassing has begun and Reach seems to be made of fire. Swoon.

Can someone with an eye for detail, a copy of the game and some free time post the date/time stamps for each mission?

I haven't watched that cut-scene in a while. I was thinking that maybe it was some Forerunner thing they were unearthing, but the Covenant wreckage makes a lot more sense. They've already done buried Forerunner stuff.
Good games last night everybody, haven't been in a PA Katamari for the longest time and had forgotten what I was missing. I'm away next week but will be spamming invites as soon as I'm back.

I concur! I couldn't imagine being party leader to a better group of persons, we must repeat the activity.
edit: and Willeth, despite having a wealth of work to do I cannot physically stop watching that video...

Good to see you back, dude. I think you were one of the first people I played with from PA.

Halo 3 beta was the best of times, man. It's good to be back, I must say. Had an absolute blast last night!
Oh dude. I'd forgotten about that Ghost splatter. God damn, I wish I'd had a capture card back then.
Seriously, if there were any way to have held onto that footage I'd still have it saved now. There's a good chance becky and I will be on Reach later tonight for a couple of hours, so I'll try and get some invites out if people are on.

batigh, I wonder if we can still fix that map somehow. That glitch where the camera view for mongooses who are not host is the weirdest thing i've seen yet in halo reach.
Attn Fyrewulff and fellow forgers: through rigorous testing, Viscount and I have determined that the backwards camera angles when going through teleporters only occurs when you're
-on a vehicle and
-not host.
As host, the camera works as intended. I don't know what kind of access you have to bungie dudes directly, but if it is possible, could you mention it to your contacts? Maybe they could patch some fixes in eventually.

the backwards camera angles when going through teleporters
Please elaborate.
It's mainly apparent on Race maps, but sometimes you'll go through a teleporter and your camera will be facing at 180 degrees to where your vehicle is pointing. It happens all the time on a certain teleporter on a race map I like - I'll show you if you're on.

So we're specifically talking about vehicular teleporters?
Bungie needs to take the space combat and make that a full game with multiplayer and co-op.
Also maybe acquire the Star Wars license.
There is a heaven for penises and I will take them there.
Did you read how Volition would love to make a Freespace 3 if only people would actually buy it? Because, seriously, it's a thing that needs to happen.
Freespace2 is my favorite game of all time. Won two or three seasons of Squadwars too.

I'm sure it would have been better to be there, but, story pls?
Snowbound in the Halo 3 beta. It was a game of VIP, I think, and Sam was chasing him down around the entire map. He was just about to go in for the winning kill, and I splattered him with a Ghost from the side.
It doesn't sound that great, but from Sam's perspective he's chasing this guy for about a minute, and then all of a sudden I crush him against the wall at a 45-degree angle.

Oddball match starts off fine. Other team pulls ahead by a few seconds then camps the ball the rest of the game... =\

I also love how banned these guys are going to be for doing this too.
Its hilarious that he's advertising his xbl tag, its like he wants to be banned.

What is that in the center of the mine on the azod firefight map?

That's in one of the campaign missions already. The last one, I think.
