Probably the worst map in Halo 3.
Does anyone Ike this shit?

And the best Ghost
And the best Elites
And the best Magnum
And the best Campaign
And the best Mark V armor
And the best everything except physics.

Agreed. And it's not like it even has the worst physics.

It probably made sense at the time, but everyone should have a right to own a crossbow for self defense, otherwise only criminals will be the ones with crossbows

I fucking hate epitaph

I like how it looks

And it's one of the few forerunner structures in the original trilogy with a floating piece

Now everything floats for no reason and looks retarded. Like what's the point on having tiny ass floating chunks on everything forerunner.

I'll agree that it doesn't look super boring like new 343 forerunner structires.

>95 threads until #300

>ywn be a dirt peasant shooting a butthurt armored noble off his horse with your crossbow

343's direction with the forerunner designs has been disappointing. Too sleek, flowy, and floating.

...

>flowy

Any thoughts or feedback?

So Ive got an ultra rare medal count gambit and I know for a fact I'm not good enough to actually get it.

Should I just sell it for a few guaranteed req points?

I dont know if this is a standard bug but whenever I lose on gambits I keep the boost and can still sell it

They changed it a while back you keep things when you fail them now.

>been playing super fiesta and snipers a lot
>getting better with snipers
>already decent with other precision weapons
>go back to normal modes
>cant deal with how non precision weapons handle anymore

that's weird, if I fail on the first but win on the second while using it again it doesnt award the bonus and I keep the req still

>Guys what if the new weapon is the sticky launcher?

why are we so dead right now
its 6:30 am
the sun is already up /hg/
get the fuck out of bed

>it's another I get deranked because Strongholds is a retarded game mode and I always get paired with retards who don't play the objective episode

its your fault for not getting on mic and motivating your team to great heights

Holy fuck actually looking at his achievements a ton of achievements across multiple games miraculously "unlocked" on the same day and majority of them are extremely tough ones. It's not unlocked offline either as those unlocked offline are actually listed as being unlocked offline.

Just looking through his profile, he apparently 100%ed guitar hero world tour on the same day, got all of the firefight achievements in ODST and the vidmaster, got a bulk of moh airbourne achievements that were unobtainable and extremely difficult because of no population, got 75% of the achievements of Saboteur and the most difficult Halo Wars achievements.

Seriously how is this even possible? I knew a friend which could unlock achievements with his modded xbox but he said if he logged into live it would ban the account right away so it was pointless

>tfw your xbone has stopped reading discs

Who?

Strongholds is the best mode in the game, though.

>tfw still have higher halo gs than him even though he glitched his achievements

he tried to say it was because he unlocked them offline when a bunch of them are achievements you have to unlock online too, fucking kek

dew

Keep looking, I'm sure you'll find more lets see how deep the rabbit hole goes

>He fell for /hg/ is alive during American hours meme

That means nothing

>Finally done with Halo 4 on legendary

Wew lad what a hot steaming shit

Sure it doesn't

I liked it

>Elites

That's not Halo 4

Why are his feet and legs so fucking gigantic?

Halo 3 elites are so cute

>what's the point on having tiny ass floating chunks on everything forerunner

For some things it's probably a Forerunner way to show off decadence or glamour or rank, that sort of shit.

For others it might be to impart a sense of technological advancement in which the floating pieces serve a purpose of some kind.

Compartmentalization might also explain some if it's on a ship or installation, or security/defense (more likely to miss if there's gaps). When it's on a soldier or combat construct it could serve to distract, or further protect vital areas of the body.

That's how I'd justify it anyway.

They're not much bigger than Elites' feet have always been. If you compare, say, a human hand to the size of a human foot, proportionally the Elite's hand/foot ratio is about right. It gives a sense of support and stability too, given an Elite's size and the assumed corresponding weight

>that raptor razor

So how long does it take to get out of the Bronze req grind?

A couple of days if you play a lot.

>Sony increases the price of PS+
>Xbl stays the same
Anyone else expect more boners to sell? Maybe we'll get more people in /hg/ too

They cost the same now, so probably not.

How many bloody packs do I have to open

Been at this for 2 days already.

133, but probably less as there are a bunch of common emblems unlocked by default.

Or because why not. Forunners probably knew they were hot shit (look into how advanced they were

Why did kings wear gold and diamonds?

Why did some people wear fancy silky outfits

Why did some men wear powdered wigs

Why does anyone in human history wear exotic but fairly useless things

Why do old building designs have strange carvings?

Floating things just exist the same reason royalty would wear things with no purpose other then to show off and look better.

I wonder if XBL will ever become free? Especially now with W10 getting the same games, having crossplay in most cases, etc

I expected something like that for the past 2 E3s, just as something to underhand Sony. It brings in far too much revenue for them to ever consider dropping it.

So 343 kinda hinted to another big update pack. We know File Share will now be in. But sounds like more.

What could it be. File share and....?

New arena map(Sanghelios)
2 sets of weapon skins
New Magnum variant
New anti-vehicle weapon
More Forge content and improvements
PC release

They didn't hint, they straight up showed weapons skins, REQs and concept art for a new arena map.

a mcc fix

>decide it's a good time to use one of my 3 unique snipers
>spawn
>immediately get gunned down by 2 fuckboys with battle rifles before I can even turn to fire on them

Why

There anyplace I can check and see how many I've opened?

Waypoint shows you all the stuff you've unlocked, and you can filter by rarity.

>When my team tries to be aggressive on WZA Defence
>Attackers wipe us out and cap our shit

>Enemy team is aggressive as Defense
>We get spawn trapped and slaughtered

Every time

How do you spawntrappeople in WZA

>Run around outskirts of the base
>Kill blues as you see them
>Push really aggressively so the blues can't fight back
>Constantly move around the base killing people who go near doors from afar and sneaky murdering people who hang back

YOU HAVE THE FIREPOWER TO GET US IN THERE!

YOU FINISHED YOUR MISSION, SPARTAN LOCKE.
MY MISSION IS JUST BEGINNING

So if i unlock all the common stuff that means I don't have to open any more bronze packs?

>most misleading ad campaign ever made

Yeah, when you start getting RP cards back.

GET BACK TO BED, BOYS!

What's that version of beam rifle do?

Kills two people at once

How does it tell if you win or lose a gambit? Don't they scale depending on where you place?

>1000 dollary doos

it better have functioning shields for that price.

think its improved RoF and accuracy

What's going on in this thread?

>wipe enemies out in WZA super fast
>take both bases and destroy the core in less than 5 minutes with a ton of kills
>only make 600 req points
>win a defense on first base
>6 minutes
>hardly any kills
>1500 req points

>Black undersuits

Actually considering buying this for Halloween

OH NO! THE DEMON!

Alright son, just like we practiced!

>Pot belly on a spartan
