    So fiesta slayer taught me something: the spiker is awesome! When doing some campaign stuff I picked one up and tried it in there... yes it's still awesome.

    Now where can I get one in matchmaking? Brute smash!

    Either they are really rich, or really poor

    *Edit* or really pathetic

    Only those [strike]two[/strike] three kinds of people have that much time on their hands. It's not something you should envy.

    too bad mechassault 2 sucked balls. Kinda like chromehounds. It's like, You can't have everything in the real world. A large mech should never go over such and such speed without running out of energy.

    It wasn't easy, but wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be.

    So , how hard are some of the achievements in the two map packs? I'm looking at the stockpile one (aka You Ate All the Chips) specifically, cause that seems pretty hard.

    Well if we can get an all-Bee game going we can just cheese it for you easy.

    If we have enough people for one team, we can usually pull it off legit, too. Though one person on the other team helps.

    You At All The Chips you'll probably just get through the normal course of playing stockpile. Especially because I think Speedpile in Action Sack counts for it too.

    I actually just got one of the defiant ones, the return 2 flags in a ctf matchmaking game one. I guess these aren't as hard as I was anticipating. Although the DMR one that you have to snipe across the entire map is annoying, because from what I'm seeing I basically need to do it on hemorrage.

    Not sure it does count in Speedpile. You'd have to grab four flags at once and even then it's not round-based.

    Anybody want a story with an awesome ending?

    So anyway, earlier today I finally got tired of people spamming files that were popular with tags like "Author Rams Achronos", "Author Rams Cortana", and the disgusting "Author Rams Children".

    I blew off steam on the HBO forums:

    http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=1066187
    http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=16046268&player=FyreWulff

    I'm starting to get this shit on all my files now with.. certain tags.

    For the love of christ, we need one or more of these options:

    a) Be able to delete tags

    b) Restrict tagging to the original creator of the file (or not allow it after a certain time period)

    c) Only allow Bungie Pro users to tag files

    They're starting to be used more for vandalism than enhancing search.

    Urk responds not too long afterwards

    The initial query is running right now, but it'll take it a while to chew through the first batch.

    So not only have they banned people from tagging, they've changed all their file vandalism to the vandal professing his love for the content.

    Today has been awesome.

    tl;dr

    People spammed the bungie.net / in-game file tagging system with crude shit thinking they were anonymous

    they were not

    all people who spammed crude tags have now been temp-banned

    repeat offenders get a total file share ban

    So anyone got a suggestion on the best game type to do Totally Worth It? (Get a double kill from the grave achievement). It's the only noble map pack achievement im missing now. I'm thinking something in rumble pit, but im not sure. Something where a ton of people will be gathering in one place, ideally.

    Team Slayer. Sword Base. Go up the green lift when more than one person is camping it, stick one. Get in a firefight up above and throw a bunch of grenades without taking cover. Use the grenade launcher emp followed by a frag grenade and charge them as you do it.

    Go into big team and stick a warthog as it's driving by shooting you. Make sure it's wounded enough where the stick will do the trick. Another good trick is to flip a hog with the concussion rifle or a frag, then walk up and finish it off in the process of finishing yourself.

    Anytime you're going to blow up two people, run up and give them a hug.

    Not sure if I have the achievement yet, but I'd be surprised as hell if I didn't.

    Edit: Sword Base on a pro slayer variant is even easier, since the lack of armor lock encourages noobs to camp with shotgun/swords on the lift. The aforementioned lack of armor lock also ensure the stick will kill both parties. I am of the opinion that 'pro' is more of a joke than anything else. It encourages abusing the power weapons and the armor abilities that work with them rather than playing like you have any real skill.

    Elite slayer (team or rumble) isn't bad either. Lots of stickys, not a lot of people armor locking.

    The rewards program is suuuuper slow. I've had stuff show up like 10 days later. It's not that big of a deal, they only deposit pending points at the 15th of every month, so you have a while before you would get the points anyway. I'd wait another couple of days, then send them an email.
