Happy Bday!

Hey Frankie, get us a bday present for him. A halo 4 screenshot would do fine.

EDIT: Are the odds of getting team hotshot good? How often does it show?

It showed up in the third voting round (veto, then map fail) then showed up again in the fourth (after another fail). Seems decent?

It also has a new label FFA_SPAWN, but I imagine that's the same functionality that FFA_ONLY has in Team Slayer. So I guess you can technically make separate FFA starting points for Hotshot and normal Slayer on your map.
 
Team Hotshot details:

Vanilla base

Sorts under a new category called "Action Sack"

Has a blank for an author (but still the usual 9/13/10 creation date)

AR/Pistol start. Sprint/Camo/AL/Jetpack/Hologram.

Hotshot-specific options

Score Augmentation On/Off - Score augmentation means players get bonus points equal to the number of consecutive kills they've scored

MODIFIER_LIMIT - 1 or 3. How many kills the player can score before damage modification stops.

FIRST KILL, SECOND KILL, and THIRD KILL submenus bring up the player traits prefab menu, so you can customize the full range of player traits per heat level.

New gametype with vanilla base. Wut?

Happy birthday Dani!
 
Ninja used it for 2 weeks and switched back, I'm guessing its comfort level and the sticks being too tight (which fixes the slow turn but may do something called "fast turn" now)
I can't believe any man would turn something away for being 'too tight'. /beingapig

I won't tolerate a single white hair with my sexy red man hair. One white and I'm going all Frankie/Lex Luthor.
Good call, I don't think they make 'Just for Men' for you red folk.

i wonder if I am the only one on this but

Containment > Coagulation
You're not. Containment is far superior. You know, because of the switch.

Lockout was amazing.

Though an oft overlooked map that I really enjoyed in Halo 3 was Citadel. I was really disappointed that it released to late so we had a lot fewer matches played on it.
YES!

I was asked recently what my favorite small MP map was (across all games); I was on the spot, and came up with Midship. If I'd remembered Citadel, though, it would have been my answer.

So deceptively simple... so much great gameplay.

Oh, indeed. I'll always throw my voice in support of that map when it comes up. Best small map ever, I think.

Midship/Heretic is my all time favorite map.

Not in any order:

Guardian, The Pit, Death Island, OG Blood Gulch, OG Hang em High.

EDIT: Halo 2 had some awesome maps, but I definitely played the 5 above the most.
 
1. Lockout
2. The Pit
3. Guardian
4. Turf
5. Relic

edit: Seeing these maps posted make it even harder to understand how Bungie's quality map making dropped so much from Halo 3 to Reach.

Played five rounds of Team Slayer. Two vanilla, three TU.

Forge maps suck so hard.

Happy Birthday Dani! About that white hair: we have something here in the states called "Just for Men" which, although it may sound like some kind of pornographic magazine, is in fact a chemical formula that will turn your white hairs into a sort-of reddish, almost-human hairs.

Something to look forward to!

Edit: Beaten by squidhands????? By SQUIDHANDS!!!!???!!! Jesus.

Everything in Player Traits including Weapon and AA's?

I'm thinking of a Gun game type gametype, maybe with random weapons instead.

Don't think I can trust a "formula" that turns my human hair into almost-human hair. I also googled "Just for men" and found looks of male models. Thankfully my safesearch was on. You sure it ain't porno?

Wow that's quite similar to mine. Just swap Zanzibar and Lockout and you have my list

Embrace your old age. I'm getting a healthy mix of white and grey hairs mixed in with mine. I've earned'em and feel no shame in keeping them on display.

Happy birthday, BTW. I should be done wandering Skyrim in the next month and can move my eye back toward FUD and Halo. I still haven't beaten CEA. *shame*
