Speaking of Fusion Cores, I had a ball on Sandtrap this weekend, trying to come up with creative ways of dying. Originally I was trying to create my own rocket ship to the moon by placing a crate on a bed of Batteries, but unfortunately the damn thing weighs too much. I did take a Weapons Pallet to the face in extreme fashion, though, and slid a good quarter of the map horizontally.

I'm very interested in trying to do a few panoramic Halo 3 screenshots like the ones shown here.

Unfortunately I don't have CS3 so I'll have to try another program.

God, I need the new maps to arrive.

Also, Holy Saturation, Batman.

Hey, I didn't say EXACTLY like those, jerk.

Also, the (old) new maps will be available before the (new) new maps come out.

Either way I need new maps I can play with everyone. Standoff looks awesome.

(They overkilled the blur effect, though)

I think we all know I do.

I imagine Standoff will be the first map I try to enhance.

but...but....it's so pretty!

Great map for Multi CTF and Multi Bomb. I can for-see game or two at an NN Halo 3 meet taking place there.

That made me think of Super Troopers. "Enhance. Enhance. Enhance."

But yeah, with a few minor tweaks Standoff can be a great BTB map. It just needs the DakarZero touch. Not to be confused with the inappropriate uncle touch.

*blush*

Edit: After Standoff is released to everyone we will be holding every match on that or Epitaph, just to frustrate sek with the lack of Sniper Rifles.

Is that you, uncle?

Edit: I just realized that we usually obscure any relevant links and or info in this thread by posting a page of garbage afterwards.

It's the banter that makes this thread. We are a community.
I'm sure it inhibits us from getting new members but **** 'em

I'm surprised we haven't pulled any lurkers into this thread. At any given time there are 10+ guests viewing the gaming forum.

Must be your Major Grade 3 that scares them away

I should really retrieve my second account, Fatty O Besity.

I am, however, totally bummed that I won't get to play as a 1 anymore since you made it to 30 all by yourself.

If I thought you could drag me to Commander, I'd do it. I'd be content to finish my career as a Strike Commander. First, however, I need to get myself playing like a Staff Captain again.

I could do it. Commanders are good players, like KB, but if you perform at Major-quality I can easily help you win.

I'll tell you when I feel like I've returned to that level.

On Topic: I've been considering creating a type of tournament. Something that wouldn't require all of us to be on at the same time. Would anyone be interested in this? I realize we have quite a rank spread.
