Re: Halo 3: ODST

Two of my friends and I decided to just play some firefight on normal for a little bit of fun...

Understatement.

Re: Halo 3: ODST

Eh, the 20 deaths didn't sit right with me.

Most of them come from using the turret trying to take out ll of the grunts or bugs quickly when the round starts only to get nailed with a Fuel Rod Cannon shot or have 10 plasma grenades thrown at me and I can only avoid 8 of them quickly enough.

Re: Halo 3: ODST

just finished the game on normal. I really enjoyed the campaign, it was a nice change from previous Halo iterations. It took me about six hours and I didn't do a whole lot of searching around for the audio logs, which I'll go back and do later. Now it's time to beat it on legendary.

Re: Halo 3: ODST

I just got the game. Anyone interested in doing some firefight tonight?

Add me as a friend: b1gwolt and leave your gamertag if you want to play. It will be later in the evening form around 10/11 pm EST.

Bungie Weekly Update

Last week we showed off an insanely high Legendary score and noted that it was snagged by a lone gunman. This week, the same player took it to a whole new level, amassing an unbelievable ten million points in a game that spanned more than twenty-one hours, start to finish.

Cheatz and Hax, right? Nah. But after digging in and seeing how the score was ultimately achieved (snagging a Chopper, parking as far away from the action as possible, and then mowing most of the opposition down at a safe distance), we’re significantly less impressed then we were when we thought it was one man going Death Blossom in the midst of a massive Covenant invasion force. From here on out, I’m personally adopting and enforcing a new rule: the Chopper doesn’t count on Lost Platoon.

Will we stop recording scores and serving up stats for games where you decide to churn up the chum by way of the Chopper's spinning Wheel o' Death (and its long range, anti-everything cannon fire)? Nope. But when I show you who’s rocking the best Legendary score, I’m simply gonna omit any offerings where the player clearly sat in one space with one finger on the trigger and another deep in a bowl of tortilla chips.

Like so:

If you’re out there doing big things in Firefight and wondering why your skills weren’t quite stacking up against the highest of the high scores we put on display, now you know exactly why. If you’re now thinking to yourself, “I’m so gonna hop on a Chopper and ride out the Firefight waves for twenty-one hours straight,” be our guest. Just make sure you pause every so often to take in some of the important things in life like nutrition, personal hygiene, and socializing with your friends and family.

And yes, this is a joke. We queued up the films from the ten million point game and sure, the player in question makes liberal use of the Brute Chopper. But he's also damn good. In fact, he's downright methodical. Besides, just the thought of doing anything for twenty-one hours straight has me feeling completely exhausted.

October Matchmaking Update

Playlist changes this month are mostly backend and for the most part nothing anyone's gonna notice. The November update should be more apparent, but for now just know that we’re silently tinkering away at various elements of Matchmaking. The most notable item for October will be the presence of Ranked Living Dead! Once again, the dead climb out from the cold, cold grave and walk the earth, searching for a visible TrueSkill™ ranking and some rare medals. Prior to those dark times, though, you will find a healthy menu of other Double EXP weekends that don’t hunger for brains:

Double EXP Weekends for October (in Order):

• Mythic Brawl (Mythic Disk Required)
• Grifball (Heroic/Mythic Part 1 Required)
• FFA Fiesta (Mythic Disk Required)
• Team Flag (Mythic Disk Required)
• Ranked Living Dead (Mythic Disk Required)

Re: Halo 3: ODST

I was really looking forward to this game, but since its release, I've started to waver. I may just give this a rental, beat the campaign and play a bit of firefight, and hold off until COW: MW2.

Re: Halo 3: ODST

Can anyone tell me the difference between the grenades?

I know the first two are standard frags and the alien sticky frags. But the last two look like some kind of hammer and the the other ones are what incendiary?

The hammer type grenade is a sticky as well. The last is incendiary grenade, correct.
