[360] Halo Reach: Ghosts of GFF

I only mainly take issues with people not understanding what's happening on the map, even when it's being called out. The problem that those guys have is completely lack of situational awareness. As an example, a few days ago it's a really close match on Invasion Slayer, the other team has caught up and are trying to take a drop point which will almost certainly be a vehicle. So me and Shimms are fighting their whole team and getting owned at the point, despite the fact both of us are going on about what's happening there and everyone needs to get there. But then there's no acknowledgment from anyone or assistance. If we're playing a game and people are calling out or bitching about getting taken out by a Sniper for example, I'll usually do my best to get there and take him out, or at least acknowledge that I can't get there, or he's taking me out, or something. Like on the game we played where you got zero kills, you at least understood what the hell was going on, which is the only thing I really ask for.

And I must have got at least two assists in that game anyway.

FELIPE NO

For anyone that's interested, you can sell the game back to Amazon for $37.50 right now. If you're like me and bought it for $40 from there you essentially got to play it since day one almost for free.

(I'm selling mine back since I really don't have much fun when I'm not playing with you guys, and I never seem to be on the same time as you guys, so there's no real point in me having the game.)

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

That's a crazy amount of credit for it. Ironically, Reach is $39.99 at Kmart right now, go figure.

Also good random Campaign Matchmaking bullshit; I did Tip of the Spear with these 3 other randoms on Heroic, they weren't great but we blew through it pretty quickly. We all stick around, and after a None of the Above vote, the next level is Winter Contigency, which I decide to vote for on Heroic, and one of them votes for None of the Above. The other two guys don't vote, and right before the count is about to end, the guy who voted for None of the Above switches his vote to normal (which forces the win), says "FUCK YOU GUYS" and leaves. Good shit.

At this point I'm entirely convinced you wait until I make a move and THEN you throw the grenade, you cheeky bastard. Good shit this morning though. I have no idea how I got 27 kills and we still lost that match on Asylum but it was hilarious either way. You missed the match against LOS BANDITOS though. Now there was some funny shit. Myself, Shake, Mo0 and Sparrows against a whole team of latinos and our amazingly bad attempts to call shit out in broken spanish. NO COMPRENDE EL GRENADA. MUCHOS LAG.

(Captain Ron is better than you at Halo!)

How ya doing, buddy?

MUCHOS LAG lololol

Also as a heads up, the cabbages are worth a lot today (6k+) and easy; there's another one for playing a game in Matchmaking with your gamertag linked to bnet that's worth 3k by itself. Also there's one for completing a level on Heroic co-op with Iron on, we need to do that shit Tails. And no, not on Sword Base.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

WHY NOT SWORD BASE IS THE BEST LEVEL EVER MADE IN ANY HALO. ;___;

I'm down though, gimme a bit to put sis on the bus and clean up the kitchen. (Around 7:30 or so I'll be on)

What level should we do it on then? NO not Winter Contingency that level is so cheesy easy and boring.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I love Firefight challenges where it's to not die. Got Sniperfight on Glacier, one dude was chilling in the base. I go back and start pushing him out, he gets mad and runs into a corner which I nade him out of. Our teammates come in and start helping, then we all get swarmed by the enemies and he dies (I lived), and then quits. Trolled so fucking hard.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well she's probably not much worse than me, sure.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Since Tails stopped playing and I switched to hologram, I've been playing the best Arena of my life. Something like 19/24 top four finishes this season.

Still Bronze, though. -___-

FELIPE NO

Yeah, I don't know what was up tonight but every game after the first one had massive latency for me.

Spawns really don't bother me unless the game is very close, as I figure they balance out over a career of play (i.e. you get to shit on someone who spawns badly as often as you get shat on yourself).

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

We should start getting people to take screenshots of their Forge projects. I know me and my brother have made some wicked maps. I'll upload some soon.

Side note: Does anyone here even LIKE Forge mode? I've seen very little discussion regarding it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Alright bitches, I'm off tonight. TIME TO HALO IT UP.

Shiny, I know Shake has messed with it, but it's not really my thing. I'd probably just make a map that consisted only of tight corridors and shotguns. Call it the Shotgun Kingdom.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Fox can you play Arena yet or [italics]are you still a bad kid[/muchos]??

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

You are so mean. I got payed and resolved my Live status yesterday. I even played some Arena! I need three more ratings though (lol)

Also I am on now~

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

-Good news regarding Cabbages:

Quote:

In stark contrast to Jeremiah’s relaxed state, I’m pretty sure Luke wanted to keep you on your toes this week. That daily looked a lot like a weekly, didn’t it? Egads.

Earlier in the week, he sat me down and showed off the full matrix of daily and weekly challenges we have at our disposal. I have to say that there’s some decidedly difficult stuff packed inside. SLASO runs? Ho, boy.

Before Luke showed off his adults only tool-set, I’d thought the challenges were mostly set in stone. Not the case. Over time, we’ll be able to roll out additional challenges and scale the payouts for the existing set to track with trending overall player progress.

So that's good news, at least potentially. Also for those who don't know SLASO = Solo Legendary All Skulls On.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Wow, so urk totally goofed by telling GAF that they were set in stone.

How ya doing, buddy?

WELP, TIME TO BUY BLACK OPS

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

You would probably enjoy Black Ops, ahhh remote control bomb cars.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Honestly, I'm tempted. Not so much for the game itself but that my old MW2/GoW running crew has pretty much converted by now and I really miss playing with those guys.

Pretty much everyone outside of the Halo group is playing it, although that's not necessarily a ton of people on my list. I've only played the multiplayer a little bit though, not enough to have a good opinion yet. Core gameplay is still MW2 with some slightly changes (you can dive into prone, you can now bring up LMG's faster coming out of a run, little things like that) it's just mostly the stuff around it that they've added in that you earn money and chose exactly what weapons/attachments/perks to buy and whatnot. I know that they also tweaked and removed some of the perks and killstreaks (deathstreaks are completely gone). It seems pretty neat, but I wouldn't necessarily tell you to go out and buy it quite yet. I'll probably get some more time in with it this weekend and see.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Huh, one of the challenges today is 1m in Firefight (non MM, obviously). Sounds like a good opportunity to kick back and get into it like we used to on ODST (but I guess we'd need an interesting enough map. Beachhead is probably the most suitable with the Rockethog). We could tune up the difficulty and just let loose, take a break from the hustle and bustle of the normal playlists. Anybody up for it later today?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I would be up for it but the lag!

Probably the best way to do it is Beachhead Firefight Classic on Normal. It'll take a couple of hours though.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Not if you mess with the settings and turn the difficulty up a bit. We're pros, we can handle it!

And yeah, sadly no people from across the pond are invited. Stupid FF netcode. You'll be too busy with Football Manager anway.

I'm actually about to hit the sack but if we get some shit going before I stir from the depths feel free to gimme a ring Daravon.

e: Took us just about two hours to do it in ODST. God those games were fun.
