    Hey SkutSlut, what's your GT?

    skutskut

    If you do play some abstract halo, watch the soccer balls they hurt.

    Explain to me this Abstract Halo.

    Floating platforms and bridges, open boxes on the wall with grav lifts/mancannons to go in em, a big tent like structure in the middle of the map, floating bridges, an outside portion, double box ramps, teleporters leading to places you can't get to normally, shield doors making rooms under floating stuff, soccer ball death traps, stuff like that.

    Give me about twenty I'll have plenty of SSes

    I'll be on tonight and have the maps. Also one new map they need to do is a large BTB map that is similiar to the map in the first halo 2 trailer. That downtown mobasa or whatever all lit up. but at dusk or something. That would be awesome and maybe like two large building with about 4 floors. That would be awesome

    Good to know. Is there a lot of DLC Objectives played or is it mostly Slayer or custom..?

    I'm down for whatever but more epic Avalanche CTF matches would be appreciated.

    They should find a way to merge Terminal, Turf and Headlong into one epic city map.

    Slayer/Team Slayer, not sure how Team would work though but it should be interesting.

    Bungie.net is crapping out for me and it was a pain in the ass just getting to my SSes, but here ya go, AH1-AH9

    That's why I wish Forge could have been in Halo 2. The only problem with KotH on Terminal was the fact that they liked to spawn you at the farthest points away from the hill as possible.

    I finally sat down and paid attention long enough to try and make my first video - "Evel Knievel" is in slot 3 of my file share, and I'm proud of it.

    For the lazy, a couple of nights ago, when we had 30590384038243 bajillion Multi Flag BR games on Avalanche, there was a Hornet. Now, before you say, "But, Snack, there's ALWAYS a Hornet on Avalanche, except when there's not!" let me further that the Hornet was in the air; and some damn fool tried to board it. AND SUCCEEDED. Only to get shot out of the sky by a Spartan Laser.

    Instead of dying, the damn fool lived, and this video... this glorious video, it celebrates that day.

    time to crate should be no more than 10 seconds.

    but replace crate with either grenades, deployables or better weapons.

    you should be able to go from spawn to combat in that time.

    Yea :) 2 vertical double boxes can hold another box horizontally on Standoff too, if I could get shield doors to lay flat we could have a cool race map but so far no luck, but a man cannon launches full distance from that height as well.

    Whats the best angle to shoot a hornet at? like straight on or from the side. For some reason I thought when I first saw them that the glass was open at the side as I saw someone in on get sniped at a side angle but I don't really know now. Just wondering for future encounters

    Straight on is the best by far. It's not a 4 shot by any means though - it took me 6-7. If he wasn't shooting at another guy, I wouldn't have been able to kill him in time. The last shot was almost from the side though - but the glass is jagged there, so it would be really hard to line up the shot consistently. There are a few times I've tried using the sniper rifle to shoot the guy out from the side but it never seems to work even if the reticle has the dot in it and his head is lined right up, which should mean it's a headshot.

    Its definitely not a practical approach.. the Hornet just destroys shit unless you have a laser, or the guy is an idiot and flies it up next to a wall so you can hit with the wraith, rockets, or a brute shot

    Poast moar pls thx!

    I've seen several of the sky graphics in the game, but the more that are that large of a resolution, the better. I likey my backgrounds.

    EDIT: Also, I was a little confused about the implication of that image, when it was shown in the game.

    Is that showing the Ark dismantling a planet to use the parts to build a Halo?

    Yes, hold them in place, and then while you are holding them there save the game, end the game, restart the game. It will now be hovering in whatever position you saved it in.


    Also, we need at least one more team for the CTF Pro tournament to run.

    I always try to grab the degenerator, works like a charm on those things as they can't move that fast from a hovering posistion. Then I sticky the bastard, I've even been able to get a few sticks while there still moving. I just shoot them, get them to strafe and toss in the direction there moving as there not to agile
