Shameless bump so the halo nuts on hatrack clearly see tonight is the designated night of Halo madness.

No real news or anything but its the last paragraph that has me interested.
quote:We’ve got a whole week off to starve ourselves before gorging on turkey and whatever else folks decide to mow down over the week break (I'm going to be dining on a smorgasbord of awesome games) so there won’t be a Weekly Update, Humpday or a Podcast next week. But, on Monday (November 19) folks are definitely going to want to check back in here at Bungie.net and keep faces pressed to their monitors like children breathing on school bus windows in November, because there will be news. Oh yes, there will be news.

Would anyone be up for playing through the campaign on legendary sometime? It's the only achievement left for me to get before I get the katana armor.

has anybody gotten any sweet forge maps? www.forgehub.com has a lot of amazing maps and gametypes, it'd be cool to designate a night to playing forged out custom games...

Had fun with the new maps last night...after a great game on team slayer early in the night, my team decided to stick together for the next several hours. I ended up playing much longer than planned...but it was fun.
I also played some today, and got my rank up to Lieutenant. Though the matchmaking has been annoying me lately. The same couple of maps keep getting repeated. I am really getting sick of playing battle rifles on last resort. Also, I have yet to see any of the new maps on ranked matches...only on the social playlist.
I wish there was a way to list your fav and least fav maps...and that could alter the likelihood of getting the maps. I also wish people could veto twice. If you veto one map, it doesn't give the group the opportunity to veto the next map as well...you are stuck with it.

I don't think I was the first to say that, but I'll take credit for it anyway.
The thing with multiple vetos is that there is the possibility that people will just keep vetoing and never get a map. Also Bungie may want us to play maps that the majority don't like, just so that we will play them. And it probably saves bandwidth from some guys who would just set up an auto veto system and see how many hours Bungie will waste making a new game for them.

but for that to happen the majority of people would have to be in on it...besides it can't take that much bandwith to choose a map...the real work comes in once the game has started.
If that was really an issue, they could always limit the vetoes to 2 or 3. If you are not happy by then, you are likely not going to be happy. I also think that they should see which maps get vetoed the most and limit their entry in the map rotation.

Well, I just replaced my dying router so I should actually get much better ping times once I manage to get myself online again.

Hopefully soon, because the past few nights someone has always said, "Wow, I wish Lime was on."

I don't play so well when I'm sleepy ....it would help if I had a mic lol...we'll do it again...

Yessir, it's way more fun when you have a mic. Well, at least when you're playing with folks you know. Communication with your team is the key to good gameplay, and making fun of your friends is just plain fun. And to boot, a regular mic is just twenty bucks (cheap compared to the wireless mics, for sure).
As for sleepy, I got sleepy some time after you did and had a horrible game before I called it quits. (my k/d ratio was -14. I haven't seen it that low in a while).
We also had crappy luck with connections in social tonight, too. Two of those games lagged so horribly it was like someone else was playing for us. That, and the other teams seemed like a-holes with their trash talking and such. Ruins the experience
Anyway, look for me whenever you're on if you want to do some MM or even co-op campaign. Posts: 14745 | Registered: Dec 1999

Fencing was cancelled tonight due to weather, so we'll be around. If we aren't on, I'll be able to see you're on through Bungie and we'll try to catch up with you (you being any hatrackers that want to play).
It'd be fun if we could at some point get a group of 8 to play a ranked big team battle game (instead of dealing with random people).

I am tempted to get on live only by the netflix distribution deal. If I do decide to do that, I will be sure to hook up with you guys.

I still play halo 3 occasionally, although not as much. What I'm really into right now is Left for Dead.
