Well it need not be ranked, as far as I'm concerned (Though Team Control would interest me). And as I said we can always just turn against ourselves if we get 3 or 4. (Crazy King is great with 3 peeps in guardian)

I would like to join you guys but I'm stuck at work.

Maybe we can plan something this weekend?

I'm into Halo 3 and would love to play with anyone here. Here's my service record...

Welcome.

Which reminds me, I need starman to acknowledge this thread.

I'm playing yesterday with a friend split screen in Social Slayer. It's like 47-48 as I hop onto the man cannon in Narrows with my trusty Rocket Launcher. Just as I begin my descent I see a man running in the underneath area of the bridge, so I track him and fire just at the last moment as to get a maximum angle on the situation.

You can see the rocket in the upper right of the picture, couldn't have cut it any closer.

So it hits and I get the "You Killed" message along with "Game Over." I've already landed and had absolutely no idea how I killed him....god I love the theater feature

As you can see, the shot was dead-on. The rocket trail is visible in the left part of this picture.

Edit: For those wanting to bask in all its' glory, you can queue the film clip Here

LOL!! That was an awesome shot!

Thanks

It's my first kill whilst in mid-air via man cannon.

That's ridiculous. There, I said it.

Well, wednesday night I had the good fortune of having a gaggle of friends signed on, so into customs we went. First off, we tested that map I was telling you guys about, Sandtrap set up for war. Reviews were overwhelmingly positive, and I've made a few minute adjustments for the next game. A few highlights:

Tower Headshot

This underutilized portion of the map is perfect for a sniper, though it's BYOS. Primarily, it's stocked with a Missile Pod and a Bubble Shield, for defeating various aircraft that can sometimes dominate the map.

Lucky Bastard

Speaking of Missile Pods... I spotted what was happening before he spotted us, and instructed my gunner to pepper the tower. This shot nearly took out our foe, as did another that went under his foot as he jumped to a different portion of the tower. I'd have more pics, but I hit the stupid 50 pic limit on my xbox in the middle Theater Mode.

Most Notable Kill Not Shown
I lasered a guy at a tower base from 90% of the map. And he was jumping.

Is anyone up for playing this afternoon? (21st of December) say around 2:30 EST?

My gamertag is chrisgilqin (note the q, not the p)

I'll check back to this thread around noon EST and see if there are any responses.

I might be able to play with you, as I'm on a mini-vacation right now. My gamertag is dustrho.

EDIT: Just added you to my friends' list Chris.

Dakar the Fourth · Dec 21, 2007, 10:24 AM

I will be at work.

Chris Gilpin · Dec 21, 2007, 10:50 AM

Cool, I'm at the library now, but heading home around 12:30ish, so I should be on around 1:30 I'd guess. Anyone else want to join?

I didn't rank up to 41 by being ordinary

Dakar the Fourth · Dec 21, 2007, 10:56 AM

Yeah, you just rode your friends coattails*
*bitter
**I hope to do the same in ranked BTB

sek929 · Dec 21, 2007, 10:57 AM

Unfortunately I'm at my dad's house right now (so no 360) but MAYBE I'll be on around 3:30-4.

BTW, Team Hardcore is my favorite scenario (loved it in H2) and I'm only a 6 or 7 right now so anyone on at that time that might need some Ranked match wins should give FattyMcBlobicus a holler.

Dakar the Fourth · Dec 21, 2007, 10:59 AM

What's hardcore? No enemy radar and BR starts?

We have yet to play together, but BTB being ranked is a perfect opportunity to get in on the ground floor. I think you might have an edge on me being used to the larger maps (and BTB in general). So if (when) we play you can drive around in the vehicles and I'll pound the pavement (or dirt?) with a trusty BR. I don't mind the laser, either.
