The profile hotlinks for the GAF maps in the second post are also only about a quarter done...
I wasn't sure what you meant, so I went back and checked. That section was a copy/paste of Eazy's list- I didn't even realize there were some profile links in there (links are hard for me to see mixed into the text if they're not bolded). I'll fill it in a bit more later tonight. Thanks for pointing it out.Grimm Fandango said:
(On a semi-related note, I'll have my last map, Whiplash, in file share tonight as well and update the list, now that it's been beaten up a bit in customs.)

Just saw the Achievements in the OP, good stuff.
One thing I noticed is that Bungie replaced the swords you see on the shield that let you know of the difficulty with Silenced SMGs, noice.
And :lol :lol @ the picture of the "Trading Down" Achievement.

Oh and I think the Achievements that detail the missions in the game are kinda spoilerish if you stretch your imagination a bit because each picture for their respective mission is using the "flashback" item you find in New Mombasa, so some of them could be seen as spoilerish if you just take a guess at what happened. :/ (see Tayari Plaza's Achievement picture).
Really digging the site upgrade. Can't wait to start filling up that ODST page 
I was just trying to get an idea of what the ODST battle chest would look like so I put this together:
There's still a few medals I don't know about or have forgotten. I remember hearing about one for beating a round as the last surviving member of the game, the rest, I have no idea.

Yes. Just like with Crackdown, there's an option on the ODST main menu that will open up once the Beta starts.Trasher said:

It's funny cuz it's true.Grimm Fandango said:
I like how instead of appealing to the masses by just putting the BR (and I guess AR) into Firefight, Bungie just took both out and tried to create an amalgam of each of them: the silenced SMG that somehow has like triple the range of the SMG in H3 and the pistol which is now scoped but still can't compare to the awesome that is the BR triple burst.

LTTP, but the new look to Bungie is very sweet. I like the new Service Record. 
And the Home Page is pretty cool as well.

Really nice. That's a lot better job than I would've done, and yeah, the ODST achievements are really sweet.GhaleonEB said:
In my very short quest to get my campaign count to 117 (at 116 currently, I'll play one more level sometime this weekend), I came across a very awesome find.
In my run through of all three games last December, there are a couple of things that make their appearances across all three games (the lock and key Forerunner symbol, for example). One of which is a Forerunner piece that, up until now, I thought was only in Halo 1 and 2.
In Halo 2 you can find it in at least one level (it's the only one I remember), "The Great Journey." The piece appears in Halo 2 in exactly the same way as it does in Halo 1. In Halo 3, however, while it is there, it's in the form of a hologram.
Really glad I found it. Wondering why it was in Halo 1 and 2 but not 3 was nagging at me.

Lol, found this in my Service Record. Thought it would be appropriate:
It was a pic I took for one of the Screenshot challenges to get the Mythic Map Pack early. I thought it was pretty neat. :lol
The sentence is supposed to go like "If you want it done right... go ODST". That's basically the name of the shot.

You (and anyone else who finds this sort of thing interesting) should read through Hindsight. We didn't find every H1/H2/H3 connection, but we definitely found a lot of stuff that is really cool. Including the symbols you mentioned:Dax01 said:
Hindsight/TheCovenant said:
This pattern of symbols has been repeated very often throughout the series; it was seen as early as The Silent Cartographer in the first Halo game (see here). One part of the symbol may be recognized as being quite Monitor-esque.

Really nice find Dax. Nice to know that the environmental artists do their homework very thoroughly. I wonder if they have a meaning, or a purpose, or are just decoration.

It's likely some sort of memory problem, i.e., a technical issue. The textures make sense after the Flood show up, but not before.Arnie said:
So looking through the vehicle list in Firefight...
Awesome.
EDIT: At least it looks like that. Here under the "vehicle chest": http://www.bungie.net/stats/halo3/careerstatsodst.aspx?player=Jake92&mode=1
Scarabs *and* "Recharge"?
Awesome.
