You, Chris? I'm not being naive, it's just that I have faith in your skills .

Haha, the only time I win is if my team is doing good I'm getting better, but i'm not good enough to get all the kills while I'm lagged out.......YET!

Wow - The Saved Films feature almost didn't make it.

Save Films, one of Halo 3's most popular features, was nearly sliced from the game's development because there were doubts about gamer interest.

The feature allows gamers to record sessions or take highly-polished screenshots of the action on screen - and has produced some truly stunning images, as you've probably seen in our two recent huge features.

But, listing the 'Top 10 things heard during the development of Halo 3' for Bungie's weekly update, designer Bob Glessner recalls that someone once proclaimed:

"No one will use screen shots, cut it."

We'd already been told that the feature meant Bungie's developers were busier than ever when we chatted with the devs at a Halo 3 party:

"Save Films were truly a labour of love at Bungie," producer Joseph Tung explained. "There were multiple points in the process where the feature could have gotten cut and all the guys involved were like 'We want to make this feature happen'. And they worked really long, extra hours..."

The moral of the story? Bungie really know what its fans want. Surprise!

Now if only they added the ability to export to WMV or MPEG...

I really wish there was a way to just remove Epitaph and Snowbound from my copy of Halo 3. Those 2 maps are 2 of the worst maps in the history of Halo, especially Epitaph.

Those are my least favorites as well. Snowbound I can handle, but I don't like Epitaph at all, period.

EDIT: Actually I would probably put Isolation below Snowbound. The underground half is pretty useless, at least in my experience thus far. Everyone is always above ground.

I got my Perfection medal on Snowbound. Nothing like having a ghost and a good team on that map. I almost got another Perfection last night, missed out by 2 kills. Like someone said earlier about the sword room, underground in Snowbound can end up being the same way, especially if they have the shotgun (my favorite weapon). If I have the shotgun I do the exact same thing. I just run up and down the tunnels waiting for someone to jump out and attack me, then I lay them out.

Finally got Major a couple nights ago but it's going to be awhile before I get commander. 100 exp points takes me a while to get up to, the level itself isn't that hard. But I have to be in the groove before I attempt it otherwise I'll get slaughtered. It's really impressive how good people 30+ are in Lonewolf. The kill spread is usually very, very close. I'd be down by 2 or 3 kills from the leader and still be close to 5th place.

I hate people... what is the fun of cheating at a multiplayer video game? You know you cheated. I played a game against a guy recently who had a highest skill in the 30s, but his current skill rating was 12. He SUCKED. I think his k/d for the game was something like 0.3. He had to have gotten his skill rating high by cheating (possibly by having someone else play for him). He was a 12 if I've ever seen one... he was definitely no 30+.

That doesn't mean he cheated. I'm a 31 currently in Lonewolf but I suck in Objective and am just better than average in Team Slayer. I'm way better on my own then on relying on a team plus sometimes it's hard to get on a team that it's even worth playing with. I try to get them to talk, to give heads up but mostly they stay silent. I mean just telling someone else on your team how you died can help save their lives. "Dude there's a guy crouching w/ a shotgun at the invisibility" can really help on a team but if they don't talk I'll just go solo. But when I do get on with some good players I stick around for as long as I can like last night, we won 5 strait before I had to get off.

yep I made major over the weekend too and now I've been in lone wolf games that don't even reach 25 kills!!! They time out!

I've had that happen too. Usually when they do it on bigger maps. Also, unlike most people I love actually playing oddball and KotH. KotH actually got me up levels the quickest because I was realized quickly the easy way to win them. But now it seems like everyone does it.

wait there is an easiest way? Its always a blood bath until the end when I play. Some games I've racked up 30+ kills and still lost. within a few seconds.

Well that can back fire quickly. Spawn locations should be random. You can be killed quickly after the spawn comes to your area. While your waiting...others are getting points. Also with oddball......that doesnt work at all.

I'm talking about King of the Hill. The 'secret' was that as long as you're in the circle you get time, just slower than if you're by yourself. So what I'd do is just hide on the outskirts of the ring and let everyone else fight it out. Like if you can hide in the tunnel in snowbound, behind a pillar on Epitah, on top of the white thing on Isolation. Most people just charge to the spot and if they don't see you there they wont try to look for you because everyone else is going to be coming for them. Also, on Isolation the best place you can be is in the place near the sniper rifle. I will usually hang there most of the game. There are only 3 hills on the map and 2 are in that location. One is on the place itself and the other is right below it and you can just jump down the whole to get to it.

So what's the deal with those? A lot of them looked like they simply had gravity turned down....is it supposed to be a glitch, or did they actually just have the gravity modified? The game speed was definitely turned up, though.

Most of those jumps were pointless, but some got a player to places that could make multiplayer start sucking a little bit. And I'm sure there were a few things that weren't shown so these two guys can get outside the map and start glitching, which would ruin multiplayer completely.

 

[azazyel]

I'm guessing the grav was done too.

So true, but for me it's just great to me that it's even possible. I can't imagine the programming that would allow it not only to be blocked but then go onto a new trajectory. I can't believe he got a double kill off it.

Over on Digg, people are saying they didn't alter the grav. I admit it's likely, but it'd be interesting so try some of these, nonetheless.

Looks like if you hit the corner of ledges and jump at just the right time you can propel yourself faster than normal. Definitely something worth checking out.
