    I've been talking about a Ghost Recon-style ODST game since Halo 3 came out, saying that or a game based around the Elites is what I'd want now, and since we all know hardly anyone likes the Elites (:() I'll take what I can get.

    goddamn it they are going to cut power drainers from maps where you can reach normally unreachable places

    Quick question, I have all the skulls and want to take my gf's daughter skull hunting. Now I loaded up the first mission on Heroic and turned on campaign scoring (figured I might be able to kill... 4 birds with one stone).
    I grab the first skull and..... Nothing. No achievement pops up. I have her pick up skull and still nothing. We restart without scoring on and grab the skull.... nothing.

    What am I doing wrong here? Cause I remember doing a 4-way co-op (I had about 3 or 5 back then and my friends had none) and we picked them up along the way and whenever one of us picked one up, everyone would get the achievement/unlock.

    Is it the skull at the start or the end of Sierra 117? The first one is a non-achievement Silver skull (Blind), the one at the end of the level is an achievement unlocking Gold skull (Iron?)

    Although while we were helping badman get some easy achievements, for some reason getting the Mythic skull to unlock his achievement required him actually picking it up - I picked it up and it didn't unlock for him, although just a few minutes earlier I had picked up a bunch of skulls and it had unlocked.

    the only ones that show up in matchmaking are:

    Bubble Shield, Power Drainer, Regen, and (rare) Trip Mine.

    they took out:

    Radar Jammer, Flare

    they have never used:

    Deployable Cover

    Well to be fair you could do some crazy jumping shit with deployable cover.

    And I doubt there are many areas on many maps where you could jump on a power drainer. Not to mention you can only be an elite. They just showed it off on the pit because it's a relatively small jump that you can rarely get to.

    I sometimes wish Invis was a equipment piece and not the power up. This would be good for like, Cold Storage or maybe the Pit, where sometimes people grab the Invis and die just so the other team won't have it. This changes that up a bit.

    Someone actually had a good idea for the deployable cover on the Optimatch forums.

    Deployable cover would work for CTF Heavy.

    I don't know why they didn't just bring all the equipment from campaign into multiplayer, except for (obviously) the turretdrones.

    a usable camo would have been a nice option.

    invincibility (with that badass effect) would have been a lot easier to communicate to players than "hey, this special yellow equipment which has custom effects will give you invincibility or something"

    but then again they forgot the obvious option of a setting in Customs to turn off equipment on map/overshields/camo/custom powerups, so there's not even standard custom powerup placements and you have to waste one of your 100 slots if you want to take equipment/etc out for a gametype.

    It's more than dumb, it insults our intelligence. Yeah, thank you microsoft for pulling it at the last second in order to give it it's own event. Those reporters sure would've hated to have sat through that.

    God this company pisses me off sometimes.

    If that was the reason the plug would've been pulled a long time ago, not last night.

    Man, for some reason this really, really bothers me. I feel *bad* for bungie, it's a complete kick in the nuts.

    So, we've found a better "survive your allies" part than the beginning of Crow's Nest.

    Also apparently we love backstabbing each other in campaign lately.

    Also I'd like to note that during our little TMNT excursion, I sang a parody of Number of the Beast.

    The awesome part being that every time I did the high parts, somebody's mic echoed, just like the original song.
