I'm taking this thread back for the BLACK MAN
Since November 9, 2004
Legendary Map Pack
Due out April 15, for 800 MS Funbucks. Contains 3 maps:
Ghost Town, originally referred to as O.K. Corral, is a new map set in a ruined locale being retaken by the jungle.
Avalanche, previously known as codename Cottonball, is a spiritual successor to Halo 1's Sidewinder.
Blackout, aka Moonlight Sonata is a direct remake of Halo 2's Lockout.
What is this Halo thing?
I hear you shoot guns. At people. And they die. From bleeding.
I want to play Halo 3 with you guys. What do I need to do?
Send a friend request to the gamertag "A TBK Clan" or to one of the staff. Please, PLEASE note that you're from PA via text or voice so we know how to deal with you.

Does TBK require any sort of tryouts or some crap?
No. We do not hold tryouts. All we require of the people that play with us is that you have a passable skill at the game (ie, you know where to take a flag or a bomb) and you're not a douchebag. Trust us, we've had douchebags. They don't last long.
Ranks are my life. MLG is the greatest. Should I join TBK?
Probably not. We mostly play Social (unranked) playlist because they're awesome and because we usually have odd sized parties. Also, when it gets late, all the ranked playlists are full of level 47 assholes.
What time do you guys usually play?
Late at night in North America, and into the wee morning hours if we're doing well. We play a lot more during DoubleXP weekends.
I want to play either Halo with you. What do I need to do?
For Halo 2, you need to go to Xbox Live and then Downloadable Content, and grab all the map packs. This is going to take a while. It's 551MB in total. Also because OXBox Live downloads are slow.
For Halo 3, you don't need to do much at this point. Grab the Heroic Map Pack when it goes free. We do not require you to have any pay content to play with us, since there's plenty of playlists that don't require DLC, just don't be suprised if a team in a DLC game doesn't stop for a while.
What do you consider cheating or unsporting?
In Halo 2, any sort of button combination is considering cheating by us (and Bungie). This includes BXR, BXB, doubleshot, etc. We also consider superbouncing to the top of maps as cheating.
In Halo 3, since there are no known exploits *knock on wood*, pretty much just don't standby, and try to avoid spawncamping too hard.
What's with all your crazy ass lingo for maps? And why does Thrillhouse keep calling out numbers as locations?
We've adopted certain phrases to make it quicker to call out locations on maps. Here is a sample of the most popular Halo 3 ones:
The reason you'll hear people calling out numbers as locations ex "Spawning at 4!" is because we're using territory locations for better precision and speed. This especially helps on Sandtrap. If you want to see where the numbers are, just go into a Territories game by yourself.

Valhalla
Pelican Side: the entire left side if you're on Red, right if you're blue.
Bubble Side: the entire left side if you're on Blue, right if you're Red.
Water Caves: the area with the fallen rocks that the river runs under near blue base.
Hot Gates/Tollbooth: the canyon that the red side cannon puts you near.
Side Cave: refers to the caves on the side. Usually used like "they're in our side cave" or "they're spawning in their side cave"
Last Resort
Key/Pee Hole: The broken wall entrance on the top floor of the base
Generators: the electrical towers outside of the base's gate.
Froman: The little side platform with an area underneath. It has a "Camp Froman" sign near the sniper rifle.
Camo Tower: the tower with the bubble shield/brute shot opposite of Froman.
Camo Door: the lower right side door facing the base from the beach
Gate Door: the lower left side door facing the base from the beach
Catwalk: the ledge that goes from Froman, up along the back wall and over to the base
Sandtrap
Temple: the long hallway structure on blue team's side.
Cathedral: the short underground rooms structure on red team's side.
Pelican Side: the entire left side if you're on Red, right if you're blue.
Bubble Side: the entire left side if you're on Blue, right if you're Red.

Also I've been getting lag lately but only seems to be for me. Think my wireless reciever is acting funny i get dropped sometimes to...
The swat games have been awesome, me and silentrenegade did ok one may half our matches. We played some real hard games with the spawns, The Pit is the worst an enemy player can just camp rockets hall on the other side and pick you off and you spawn in his sights. Thats kinda messed hope they fix that before Swat goes ranked

1200 + Rank 30
Also, it's kind of sad that I've only played Blackout like.. twice in matchmaking, due to them being not even wanting to put KotH on it..
Avalanche and Ghost Town, as well as the forge options was well worth the $10 though.

Anyway, fun playing with you guys. I hadn't done much objective stuff before tonight. In spite of a few "sorry" moments, I don't think I embarrassed myself too bad. Invite me anytime.
It's an option after you link your 'tag to Bungie.net.
I actually thought Blackout was the only decent map out of the three. But there are a couple reasons:
1) I get pwn'd so hard on Ghost Town.
2) I've only played like 4 vs 4 on Avalanche. Which is EXTREMELY fail.

I do hope they reintroduce Heroic into the DLC playlists again though.

edit: confound it. there we are.
Not as safe as he thinks he is
They come, even at night
They just won't stop!
The house has been overrun, but this place seems safe.
They're in the basement! Hopefully this grate holds!

It's also too bad the invisible walls behind the bases are so close, because i think that cavern reaches to both bases.
Ghost Town is fucking locked down though. You can't get outside the top or sides without being killed.
What about Blackout?

And about Filters, I like Juicy, it makes everything looks sleaker.
Nova's stupid as everyone knows
I like gloom but not right away, having it kick in after a few minutes is great.
Old Timey's ok
and Colorblind's nice.

I also put teleporter recievers at the boundaries. These boundaries are instant kill boundaries.
also i discovered an interesting behavior while testing building stuff across the barrier. If on foot, you can walk into the map but not out of the map. So I was able to make a spawn room that you can walk out of but not into.

Buy Halo from the retail site and play with us sometime!
Anyway, lately I've just been playing, with a friend of mine, splitscreen. It's sooo much better this way.
Its a map made for a juggernaut gametype thats instant kill. Everyone is trying to kill the juggernaut but are punished for killing teammates while the juggernaut is trying to kill everyone else
I just wish you could turn off the allie non allie indicators so it could be more of a who is the murderer type of game

Man, chores suck alot.
HALO TIMEZ LATER.
also we need some people in 360 Team Fortress 2 because spies are sapping my sentry.
that or GTA.
Be warned, I abuse the Scout unlike any other. I'd play ALOT more if the lag were more bearable on the damn thing...
