Yeah, people were using the vehicles on Meltdown. Maybe that could be a fun gametype with fast speed and exploding bombs? That would help the “base camping” scenario.

I liked all the games, have to play them more to know exactly what I would change. w0rm, were you getting sniped too much? I know I want the turrets off that map. Can’t remember…[Read more]

I had fun last night. A few thoughts on the maps and games.

I probably won’t run big team 3-ball on Meltdown Orange again. There are no forge options for the map which allows you to easily close off the bases. There are shield doors, but they’re not big enough to close off the door ways and forge only allots 6 on the map, which is not enough.…[Read more]

Majestic Achievements

I feel bad for anyone that has been reliant on playing Halo splitscreen. I loaded up Shatter and Wreckage this morning in split screen to test both the frame rate and the TU respawn settings, and it’s quite unplayable. I mean, you CAN play it, but it wouldn’t be fun for either of the players.

TU went live in the early a.m.. Forced respawn timers now work in Custom games, w00t!

Infinity Rumble is now in your list of Slayer Custom games.

Facebook policy, not vanity, forcing 104-year-old to lie about her age

In real life, Marguerite Joseph is 104 years old. But according to her Facebook profile, she’s a relatively sprightly 99. It’s not that the grandmother from Grosse Pointe Shores, Mich., doesn’t want to admit how old she really…

In the last week I’ve received two important items (well, not counting the first novel in the Forerunner series – w00t!): An adapter to plug my synthesizer into the computer for recording, and a keyboard stand.

Looks like Halo Diehards videos won’t get blocked in some countries due to music copyright violations anymore!

This guy cracks me up. I want a best friend like this ;)

w0rm’s maps are looking good and I’m pretty sure I’ve got a good balance on mine. Keep in mind folks: we are in the beta, lol. Things that don’t feel right when we play our various versions of maps and gametypes can and will be changed, so if some of them don’t feel balanced please be patient.

But the most exciting to me is:

!!WE HAZ ACHIEVED…[Read more]

Added “Meltdown Orange” map variant and “BTB Orange Slayer” game type to my file share. Yes, Orange Slayer is supposed to be played on Orange maps.

Modified objectives will be added in later versions of Meltdown.

Added “Harvest Classic 2” to my file share.

-Laser is now 2 min ordnance
-All weapons are now fixed
-DMRs respawn changed to 45 sec
-BRs respawn 30 sec
-Hogs/Ghosts respawn 60 sec
-Mongoose spawn 45 sec
-Grenades respawn 15 sec
-Scattershots respawn 60 sec

Version 3 will probably include revised spawns and custom hills.

I only got in two games of Throwdown last night, so I can’t really offer up an opinion yet.

I can’t say I’m surprised to hear you guys didn’t like it though… :p

Those 1 on 1 BR battles aren’t as graceful and beautiful like they are in H3. And how ’bout the color in those Halo 3 maps? :p

Folks, we haz achieved Neutral Bomb!

:D

It was the lag. When Yukon was with us there was a lot of “p0wner’s lag”, you know, the shit that happens when kids are running across the middle of the open map and our whole team can’t kill them, so of course they’re going to win?

Without p0wner’s lag, I enjoy the playlist.

I like that Team Throwdown is for the most part, sorta regular Halo, but it’s almost like playing a completely different game without the Stability mod. Everyone of my loadouts has had Stability since I hit level 60 and it’s quite jarring to play without itl

I would enjoy this playlist more if there was no sprint. Sprint is a waste of a button.…[Read more]
