So this is where the heart of the game really lies. This is what you'll see all of us playing night after night, and what probably 99% of this thread will be about.
So you wanna play some games with us? Awesome. It isn't hard, just find someone in the list posted below and send them an ingame message with a Friend Request. We used to have a XBL account just for finding people, but none of us use it. After you get into a game with us, you'll probably be confused as shit as to some of the lingo we use. So I made these:
Avalanche
Last Resort
Rat's Nest
Sandtrap
I have a mistake on this one. Where territory 5 is, is where Territory 3 should be. Territory 5 is actually on top of the batcave.
Standoff
Valhalla

These guys:
Aren't these graphics amazing!?
Master Chief is Mr. Awesome Spartan guy that has earned himself the nickname "The Demon" by the alien Covenant. The Arbiter is the peak of bad-assery. This guy challenged the beliefs of the Prophets, turning the Covenant into a Civil War.
Don't confuse these two guys:
So while Playing thru the Campaign, you'll find yourself here traveling thru Earth, Then the Ark, then a replacement of Installation 04 that you blew up in Halo: Combat Evolved. Get yourself some skulls and have some fun.
The Bees
These guys are smelly. ______ These guys are NOT smelly.
Currently we have 2 groups that actively play Halo 3. Basically the standard group, and the Bees across the pond. Some of our Bees have been around since Halo 2, they be old. Call them grandpa and expect them to tell stories starting with, "well back in halo 2 days we used to..."
So this here is a list of some of our more active members. Feel free to get in touch with them to get in on some games.

Then we've got our Morning group/Across the Pond players.

The Future
Halo:Reach way down the road, and Halo 3:ODST this fall.
Halo: ODST comes out fall of '09, and includes the following.
-Gameplay from a normal human perspective
-Squad based gameplay.
-A free roaming overworld, not a level by level experience.
-Halo 3's multiplayer (as in cross compatable)
-All the currently existing Halo 3 maps, as well as the 2nd half of the Mythic map pack.
--Long shore (believed to be a nod to Headlong)
--Heretic (a remake a midship)
--Citadel
Halo:ODST centers itself on 4 characters.
The Rookie, who acts as the lead of the game. You'd play as him if you played alone.
Mickey, an unknown role in the squad
Buck, also unknown role in the squad
Romeo, the squads marksman, apparently a wiseass.
Throughout the game the players will find themselves playing out flashback sequences. What these are about, we're not entirely sure.
The game is considered to be a full on stand alone game, but at the same is rumored to be shy of a full priced new 360 game, due to the somewhat short singleplayer.

@gamefacts - Totally and utterly true gaming facts on the regular!
Also liking the OP as it is right now, old ones had too much stuff.
XXVII.V?
I had my pylon map that we maybe could've played last night, but I haven't tried it in FFA.

I need the validation!
Almost as much as Primus but not quite.
PSN: JPBrowncoat Xbox: BamSaidTheLaday Also on Steam! Streaming games!
so long.
Or giving thrill your firstborn
I would, but I just picked up an original xbox so I could play KOTOR without the multitude of bugs. I'm going to try and make it off the first planet tonite if possible. I do so hate that first planet.
Edit: Firstborn, shmirstborn. I'd gladly give it away for an OP position. A child lasts 70 or so years. A place on the internet lasts forever.
Also buy HAWX, it's 30 bucks at Best Buy this week.
Yeah.
Forever.
*mopes off into the distance*
oh wait.

FYREWULFF.
Seriously, the OP's fine. Might be down for some early-morning Halo since I've been passed out all day.
whats that, you're looking for the point?
I believe you missed it over there ->

Way too much info!
I feel your pain man.
if only I could refute your point somehow
Except the one I posted was the one prior to this one, smart ass.
As were mine.
Can it and move on to Halo talk.
ODST m i rite?
or at least we'll be able to select gender
but that would be too cool so it probably won't happen
ODST?
That's old dick-sucking tranvestites, right?
Then you ALL can see me punch Yorker in the back of the head relentlessly.
except there's already a female squad member, which is why they got all panicky and changed her name after the MADDIE WHERE ARE YOU snafu
So I can invite you all to a private Bionic Commando match.

Fyre, if you want to take my pylon map, and actually give it decent spawns, you totally have my approval. :P
I hate (read: don't understand) that damn spawn system.
Pokemon Safari - Sneasel, Pawniard, ????
As a note, if anyone doesn't want to mess with spawns, feel free to ship your map off to me and I'll do it for PA duders at no charge. I'm broken and actually enjoy messing with the spawn system.
Now if only shiska knew how the spawn system worked.
*rimshot.jpg*
I called this months ago. Lookfree is probably right though. You can never have more then one woman/each minority.
Also, stick my ass in op kor.

Its just a territories/KotH map.
The idea with territories was that the defenders would only spawn inside the tower. KotH basically just uses the tower as a neat little weapons hub, and turns the territories into hills.
KotH seems to work pretty well on it, but for some reason I can't keep the defenders (on territories) from spawning inside the territories with the offense teams.

Moved the big mappack image outside of spoilers and linked them to their purchase pages, and added Leitner to the Accross the pond players.
edit: Maybe its just me but do the pictures fyre made look a bit grainy?
Pokemon Safari - Sneasel, Pawniard, ????
I can't see them, photobucket images won't load for me.
Google hasn't been any help, nobody replied to my H/A thread, i have no idea what it could be.
I've had the same problem for a while now, but at least now I don't have to suffer alone.
