Have a passenger use a rocket launcher, another the br, and the Spectre was a beast to be feared and respected.
It also turned like a brick and was about as tough as a wet tissue.
People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

I'll be in the clan, I've no particular wish to join in the campaign but I've made some kickass forge maps in H3 so I should be quite good at it, I onestly can't wait for this, Forge world will be amazing, I'm just ecstatic about the release and have a personal countdown in my head. So yeh feel freed to add me (GT:scarskull5) if you want to play or check out maps and I'm sure the dakka clan will all enjoy reach together!

Well, considering it's a Halo game with F***ING JETPACKS, my guess would be some time in 2012?
But honestly I've never had problems getting a new game a few days/weeks after release if I wasn't able to preorder it, so I don't think it should be too hard to find a copy of this one laying around. Try a retail store like Target/Walmart if your game store is all out.
I'm guessing everyones seen the celeb noble team squad which one lucky gamer get's a chance to lead, I say we train on H3 till reach comes out, then take them on like badasses! Anyone in?

I gotta say the real gamers will completly take out the celeb team. Even if they actually have the best player in the world I doubt they're in the lead by much. And the rest of the team will let them down.

Normal..... that's pretty difficult, lol sorry joke among my community, because we play easy first, then legendary, and I still have like 2 levels on legendary that I've been too lazy to beat, so Xbox Live just says I beat Easy :S.
Btw, is your live cool yet?

That's definitely true. I wish they didn't erase my clips, because that one of me cloaked with the Spartan Laser blasting their entire team, and then clipping you with the bare edge of it was hilarious.

Nice, is everyone here (other than Scott) the same here as on Xbox Live? I haven't been playing much these days, because the person I normally play with has an addiction to Firefight :(.

So Jorge is a Londoner, Jun is Russian and Emile is black. I didn't see that coming.

Strange, I tried to add Kanluwen and TherVadem this morning but for both it said something like it couldn't process it, so I don't know what's happened there, I'll try again tommorrow, second I've recently been making some competetive multiplayer maps, ones done (to look like swordbase from reach ) and another coming, shall I fileshare them and link to dakka cos all my friends say they're great.

Kanluwen isn't my gamertag, so that's probably why
If you've got Silver on your friends list, ask him which one is Kanluwen and he'll gladly point you towards me. I think it's also in the stickied thread at the top.

Here's a brief Firefight video showing the improvements from the beta. Looking good so far!

Trying to go through Halo 2 on legendary in prep for Reach.
...Halo 3 and ODST are a joke on legendary compared to Halo 2. Snipers are brutal, never miss, 1 hit kills. Elites take 6 bursts of BR to break shields, then you still have to hit them in the head while they run for cover. It feels like Halo 3 with several skulls on.
I find myself wondering if I'm actually having fun.

I disagree. Snipers in Halo 3 one-hit you on Legendary, and anything with a Carbine or Needler is deadly considering enemies are capable of getting headshots and needles inflict impact damage now.
It took me ages to do Sierra 117 on Legendary. Snipers, snipers EVERYWHERE.
