You're going to want to take another break after that level, just a warning...

This reminds me, I went back to play the game on legendary for the first time, and holy shit I've been trying to beat the epic Tsavo encounter for about 45 minutes and I still can't beat it. Any tips, anyone? I have a fuel rod gun with 6 rounds, and an endless supply of BR ammo. I'm behind the two little buildings where the tripmines, turret, and snipe are, and I'm up against about 14 brutes, one with a fuel rod cannon, and a wraith.

Only tip is not to jump in legendary because they will snipe you right out of the air with laser precision with that fuel rod, played solo Tsavo a week ago took 2 hours to get through. One point I got stuck in a checkpoint where a wraith killed me at the end where there was 3 wraiths. Had to start completely over.

Also dax to me that thing looks like the prophet siting on his chair thinger.

Thankfully, the fuel rod guy is down next to the wraith, so that's not really a problem, the problem is the always manage to overwhelm me eventually. I'm constantly moving , but after a good 5 minutes of dodging attacks the wraith always manages to fire in right place, or the brutes just all go insane and come after me. Grr...
 
Bit off-topic

So I went to get a silver account and it says I'm eligible for a 1 month free gold. I can't get passed this so I can't create a silver which I was going to use as an extended friends list.

Someone told me each x-box gets 3 free 1-months...is that true?

and is there a way to bypass this because I already have a gold right now with time on it and I just want a silver...

Voc, can you tell me what the hell this thing is?

My vote is a Grunt frozen in carbonite.

But seriously it just looks like a texture seam. its in a location that was never meant to be viewed in the game at that angle/distance and the level of detail reflects that. Since it is a mirror seam on the texture your brain is fooled into thinking it sees things i.e. human faces, animals etc. that your mind associates highly with symmetry. The mind will always key into symmetry.

Its an unintentional Rorschach test. You see what you want to see.

I don't think so; it's in a pattern.

its only a pattern because it is has mirror symmetry and is repeated to save texture space.

The boxer shorts man is an easter egg, this is a random texture.
 
Hmm....someone already posted a countdown before, but I'm not sure if this has been posted.

It appears to be a mini-wiki of things going on on Ilovebees.blogspot.com (worth checking out in its own right)....and mentions the Spartan "1" group, along with Reach, and a new smart AI, Melissa.

http://ilb.extrasonic.com/index.php/SPARTAN

Also, on the main Ilovebees.com website, after a few moments, a different countdown than the 8 days one appears.

http://ilovebees.com/

Unfortunately, this countdown, if I'm reading it right....It's 9 years off. :(
 
Ahhh I missed it :lol

It doesn't make it less interesting, maybe being random IS why its interesting. I still look for faces in the "popcorn" ceiling before I fall asleep.

Well, you get them to sign up to GAF, you then tell them you want to play with them every night and never follow through with it. It's simple really!

If I ever get to level 20, I'll be promoted from a grade 4 Lieutenant to a grade 4 Captain. Not going to happen, but I find the prospect kind of amusing.

Also, did I mention that I love Covies? Imperfect though it is.

Also, I've played 1049 matchmaking games. I played 629 MP games of Halo 2, total. It didn't occur to me how much harder Halo 3 has me hooked compared to 2.

Anyone can hit 20 you are just avoiding it by playing all social matches.

In fact I find it hard to stay under 20 if I go into ranked matches...even if I quit my team will win dragging me up. (RBTB)

Ghaleon, you just need to sack up and play some ranked games. Have you scene how legit players lower than 20 play? It's not a matter of you being able to get it, it's whether you want it or not.

A quick H2 to H3 comparison:
Halo 2 - 584 games
Halo 3 - 3352

And you think you've taken your Halo playing up a notch :P

Not so. I tried to hit 20 in Lone Wolves, after being told I would fly up the ranks. I maxed out at 16. Like hitting a wall. Put me in a Ghost in a target-dense environment, and I can smash guys. Ask me to shoot straight, and, well, it doesn't go so well.

I guess you just sort of suck. Stick to socials and co-op.
 
So someone grav lifted one of those wire roller things on Foundry, it goes up and falls down on me mid fire fight and kills me, sadface.
 
Bah, tonight's TS games were shit. We only won 4/8 matches and three of those loses were because of early disconnects. I'm pretty sure we set me back a few hundred wins until I get me a 48 :P

Sad night.

It's already been sent to Urk, I fully expect it to be mocked and GIF'd!

I'm sort of the opposite. I've played 745 matchmaking games of Halo 3 (plus a handful of customs). But I have played 2653 games of Halo 2.

Admittedly, Halo 3 has only been out for around 9 months, while I played Halo 2 for a solid 3 years or so.
 
Ghaleon I want to bring you to 20. I will carry you kicking and screaming over the line. We just need to find a playlist that I am low enough in to win semi-consistently (although really we could probably just get 3 good TS players together and you could back us up).
