The setup: I'm playing social capture the flag, and my team sucks. The other team has the flag and is about to capture it when I step up and save the day.

Stupid Halo 3. I've completed it on legendary and still can't stop playing it.

Falagard said:Yup. Before that I was yelling into my microphone "Guys? Guys where are you... " and then when I realized that the rest of the team were across the map, I was like "Okay, I guess it's all me". I noticed the flag carrier had rockets on his back, so as soon as I shot him I picked them up, tossed a nade and fired them at the other two guys on my radar. Then I cleaned the rest up and returned the flag.
Then I said "Fuck yeah". Twice.

Don't worry too much. My corpse went flying across Snowbound tonight.Spaceman Spiff said:One thing I will miss seeing is bodies (mine included!) careening across the map after each blow, but I'll try and cope somehow.
Well, I was. I bitched to high heaven about it here and in the online thread. It was to the point where after only a few games of MP, I stopped playing. I resumed a couple months after launch when it was clear a fix wasn't immanent, and spent a few weeks just forging in Foundry to scratch the creative itch. Then I stuck to playlists focused on ranged and vehicular combat just to avoid it (BTB, DLC). I'm going to explore the tactical, squad playlists tomorrow, but my first night in Team Slayer (to build up some connection history) was good. Mêlée felt correct. I'm thrilled.Falagard said:Yeah it's great - though I never really had a problem with the old one like everyone else ;-)
No, its up. Try again?GhaleonEB said:Also, bungie.net is down for me. Anyone else?
I tried four times before asking. Now it works. I think you did something to it, something magical. Thank you.Blueblur1 said:No, its up. Try again?
FightyF said:I came in here planning to ask when the new maps will become free, and I see news of an update?
I think this sorta news should be a new thread...it's pretty big news IMO.
Gonna read on and catch up to see what it's all about...
Oh, anyone know when the new maps will be free? Personally I don't mind paying $5 for them, but nothing higher as I have to buy it for multiple 360s at home.
Yeah, I think we need a thread title change.FightyF said:I came in here planning to ask when the new maps will become free, and I see news of an update?

Want me to start one?Domino Theory said:>< If it wasn't for Recon haxorz out there, I would've gifted you the points to buy the map pack.
Anyways, a Master Ninja has been asking for a new thread on the H3 AU as well so that more people know about it.
Ghaleon, what do you say?
Some people quit playing MP because of melee. Might want to know Bungie's fix is out so they can test it out. Mega threads are hard to keep up with. Heck, most people glancing at this thread would think we're still just bitching about Snowbound.Ramirez said:Bah, anyone who cares about Halo on this board reads this thread.

Which isn't to say that we're not.

Frankie, it's Urk the Red. Hook him up. He's being patient.
Also, the moon patrol warthog is going to be so awesome.
Stinkles said:Yes. It should just show up in your armor perms. Give it a day or so.
Another poster gave me your gamertag, "Urk the Red."
I try my best, Stinkles willing.GhaleonEB said:I tried four times before asking. Now it works. I think you did something to it, something magical. Thank you.
fin said:Am I missing something???
Stinkles said:Not really. Once you rob these people of their shotgun, they get kind of lost.
fin said:I would replace the Shotgun with a Rocket Launcher/Spartan Laser and the Spartan Laser with a Human Sniper. Why?
-this would provide more reasons to NOT drive the Ghost.
-Rockets/Laser results in less kills than a shotgun
- since Rockets/Laser is a better long range weapon. It would promote more movement on the map, not just campuhrs pampurz.
Agree. It feels more satisfying somehow, and the frequency of the frustrating timing issue is reduced, and replaced with simultaneous kills. Not perfect, but it's enough of an improvement that I'm happy. For now, at least.Cocopjojo said:Melee is better. Not fixed. After playing a few games, I've had three simul-deaths and about the same amount of close-calls that I felt like I should have won or at least tied.
It may just be in my mind, but the melee feels better; like, just using it. Like it's quicker or something. It feels really good.
I wish the whole 80-100 ms thing would just go away, but after five months of what we've had, this new system definitely feels good.

I think that now its just a psychological factor which is affecting your perception of the melee. I mean, by default humans always tend to think they should have won in situations when they didn't deserve to win. I can't aim for shit, and thus the majority of my kills are done with the melee. I never felt what was wrong with it, and even now after the update, I do not see whats different, saving the fact I already had one multi-kill with melee. Thats all. I assume that given the fact that I melee with every opportunity I have I should at least "feel" (because I do understand) whats all the fuss is about, but nope.Cocopjojo said:Melee is better.

GhaleonEB said:The flare, trip mine, turret and radar jammer seem to be minimized. I'd like to see them tweaked and in more heavy rotation.
roosters93 said:Are the flare and radar jammer in MP? I have only seen them on custom maps and forge.
I know I've seen the radar jammer in there, but I think it was pulled in a recent playlist update. You might be right about the flare. It has some great potential uses in MP, I'd love to see it in there.roosters93 said:Are the flare and radar jammer in MP? I have only seen them on custom maps and forge.
The radar jammer would actually be great on Snowbound, as it would make it so the guys camping with the shotgun wouldn't know where the attackers were coming from.Ramirez said:Flare used to be on Guardian/Isolation, and the jammer was on Last Resort and Narrows...maybe more, that's all I remember.
Flare, I recall, was in Isolation and Guardian (above Shotgun room).Metroidvania said:Flare was at one point, on Isolation, on the very top of the shotgun "pillar". Radar Jammer was somewhere on Narrows, I can't quite remember where....
But I think they might were removed from matchmaking at some point.
Indeed. I think the three best maps for a radar jammer is Last Resort (which is where it was in the beta, at least), Snowbound, and High Ground (for those who camp with Shotgun in the base waiting for a poor soul to jump in and sacrifice himself for a flag grab).GhaleonEB said:The radar jammer would actually be great on Snowbound, as it would make it so the guys camping with the shotgun wouldn't know where the attackers were coming from.
Metroidvania said:Anyone else ever....
shot a spartan laser through the side of an elephant?
Don't know if it's supposed to or not.....but it was interesting. I bet the blue guy wasn't happy, though......[/QUOTE]
Wow! That's awesome.

Trasher said:So when will I be able to join my friends' parties again.....
I mean that ever since the update I can't join my buddies party anymore. I know Frankie said there were going to be some lag issues because of the auto update, and that it would take some playing to get your connection reestablished and whatnot. I just hope it doesn't take too long.Metroidvania said:What do you mean? The NAT thing? Or something else?

DD-11 said:That's a pretty good idea. Although, I don't mind the shotguns anyway, I don't find they dominante the map much at all really. Just don't go down there and they'll come up or use multiple entrances at once.
Metroidvania said:But that defeats the purpose of the underground area. Rockets would have far too much splash damage for the enclosed space, and moving the laser to the bunker could have the undesirable effect of letting the ghost roam around more freely.
With two snipers, too, people would be much more wary of going outside. While admittedly, personal experience doesn't mean jack overall, in most of my games, I almost never see the Beam rifle really used beyond one or two kills.
edit: Nice to see the trip mine utilized, finally got my "in for some chop" achievement with it on BTB.
