I've found the Brute DJ/Grunt rave with both songs, the panicked marine, the radio broadcasting the cut off marine and the weaponless spartan glitch.

I know you can get a banshee in Winter Contingency but I didn't know anything about piloting a Pelican?

RoosterTeeth have a video of how to do it.
I think it's in their achievement hunter section.

I just got the " Wake Up,Butter Cup. " achievment. I dont see why it's worth 25 microsoft points, It's real easy. But I aint complaning.

I didn't know you could get a banshee in winter con tingency. But yes you can infact drive a falcon on it, and drive it out of the map.

The other glitch is seperate, you can get a pelican or a phantom on new alexandria, it's pretty simple once you know how, just gotta hit a switch and drive throught this circular sort of building.

Yeah you just have to be quick, grab a plasma pistol and shoot a banshee before the falcon destroys it.

Fair doos might have to try that.

This will sound irrelavant at first but ay well. I dislike Harry Potter, but I was inspired by there is a lot of quidditch maps out there. The thing is, the people who make them can build the arenas well, they just suck at making bomb spawns and plant areas. So yeh I stole an arena and made my own interior, and it works great. If you've no clue what I'm talking about, basically there is an arena with 2 big sticks and hoops, 1 on either side (I know theres meant to be 3 but I find gameplay works better with 1, atleast for 2v2 games anyways.), and the players have unliited jetpacks and low gravity. They have to grab the bomb and fly it through the enemy hoop to score a point. Players are armed with concussion rifles and gravity hammers and the bomb has a 3 second drop-reset period.
Anyways I'm looking for testers if anyones interested to maybe get a large 3v3, 4v4 game going?

Ah good old queer ditch (I'm aware it sounds bad but it's the original name of the "sport" as it was invented at queer ditch marsh), I constantly swear that one of the best sports games for the xbox was Harry Potter Quidditch World Cup. I always played as America or Austrailia.

Sorry back to Reach. I wish I could share my maps via Live as I've got some maps made and maps I'm going to make that I think are pretty cool. I'm currently making a night map lit by orange lights (it works with the combined special effects making it night) in the colliseum that's a POW camp with a litteral jail that the occupant litterally can't get out of untill someone friendly to them sets them free (via shooting a fusion coil atop which rests a jet pack that falls through a one way shield allowing the prisoner to fly up and through the same said shield.

I've made a map completly centered around the Lagoon complete with a river boat, dock with ghosts and a revenant, a lighthouse and bouies. I've also made the Temple of Doom which is a boobie trapped maze. As soon as the level starts the players have to run as they're being chased by a kill ball then they go on to a mine field, a color coded step stone with mines hidden in certain stones, a quicksand section, kill zone jumping level, teleporter avoidance where if you step in one you are teleported to the middle of the air where you fall to a glorious death and a kill zone cannon guess section where if you choose the wrong one you land in a kill zone. The "idol" is a golf ball

I'm also making decorative maps of the Statue of Liberty, the Deathstar and in relation to 40k I'm going to be making a giant statue of the Emperor Enthroned.

I'm going to make an old wild west town with the old time special effect complete with a paddock full of Mongoose, magnums at either end of the main street for a high noon shoot out, a warthog as a "coach", a jail, blacksmith/barn, docs place, general store, Hotel/Saloon and a church. Each building will have specific weapons and other equiptment like the general store having armor abilities, docs will have healths, church will have power ups etc.

wow,that forgeworld stuff sounds quite sweet,Warboss Imbad Ironskull.

Thank you. I've also recently decided to make a giant playable pyramid with all sorts of booby traps and other goodies.

Oh has anyone else figured out how to make button activated booby traps? It's possible (and very fun) to make a hidden landmine that won't explode untill a button is pushed in a differant location which then arms it turning a safe area into a tricky piece of death. Want to lure someone into a trap? well lure them through a door way that is safe for the moment, push the button then when they run through the door they're dead here is a hint. It includes landmines, shield doors and merged objects

Could I ask a question? What happened to Jun? We dont see his death,And it says Jack sh@t about it. So,did he survive,and,in the conspiracy department,could HE be Master Chief?

Jun is the only surviving member of the squad and I don't thing anything has been released on what happens to him later. And no he is not Master Chief because Master Chiefs location is already established during the events of the game. Plus why would they be so focused on never showing his face and then turn around and change his voice, show his face and change his armor/personality:

In First Strike (Hinted?) Halsey tells of her Spartan escort that was with her on her way to CASTLE base, who dies... Though I'm not sure if this is canon or not, true, or not...

True,good point,srry. But still,why does he survive while the rest of Noble is gettin' there @ss kicked? Does He cower away and flee from the planet?

No he does what he is commanded to and escorts DR. Halsey. Like I said though I don't think anything official has been released on what happens to him but in a later book Halsey is found on Reach in the ONI facility and she's alone so he either got seperated from her or was killed. And I think you'd be hard pressed to find any Spartan that would just cower away and flee.

Well I've not read enough of the cannon to know, but according to the Halo Wiki, Jun, Dr Halsey and some other spartans end up trapped in a Dyson Sphere, and thats the last time they are noted in any type of fluff.

Of course I've no idea how sound Halo Wiki is, just raising it.

Anyone any good at making invasion maps?

I've got phase 2 & 3 objectives to work on a map, but am struggling to get phase 1 objective to work.

Phase 1 is supposed to be planting a bomb to shut down some force fields, but for some reason it wants me to capture the area, rather than plant a bomb.

For anyone who is interested, the map can be found here (titled BLAM! as for some reason Tempest Fugit is filtered).

Phase 1 and 2 of the map are pretty much done in terms of building work, phase 3 still needs building.

C&C welcome, but I would really like someone to help me set up the bomb




As an aside, this tutorial has been very helpful in building this map.

Of course "Fugit" is filtered hahahaha.

Sound it out real fast, use a stereotypical New York accent. Whaddyaget?

In the custom game options make sure the first objective is set to a bomb plant, it should work.

That works, thanks

Ok, finished off the map, I can now reveal: Raging Tempest.

If anyone is interested in playing it, please let me know your feedback

Srry for the lack of knowledge,but Im just getting in to the Halo genre,so I need to read some books an' look stuff up.

I don't blame you, I myself have only ever read First Strike and the Cole Protocol, however, I've heard that Ghosts of Onyx is supposed to be really good... ^Tough-as-Nails Ork boy I see

Yes, Indeed I am one Tough-son-of-a-Squig Ork Boy .

I'm not sure what a Dyson sphere is but that dosen't sound very accurate. There is a book that came out before Reach (can't remember the name) that takes place after Halo: combat Evolved where John and Cortana end up returning to Reach and discover that the Covenant havent completly glassed the planet because they're looking for something. John and Cortana then find survivors including the rest of his squad which he sent planetside and Dr. Halsey in a ONI facility.

They find some artifact that bends time and space and the Covenant want it so bad they kill 2 of their own Hunters (plus a number of grunts and jackals standing near by) who fired on the group while they had the item. After escaping they take over a Covenant Cruiser and are trying to get back to Earth but are damaged and all this other stuff. Well anyway Dr. Halsey and a female spartan take a ship stolen from some rebel human faction and dissapear. As far as I know that is the last time they're heard of.

A Dyson Sphere is an artifact which is believed to be pretty much the peak of technological development.

It is a sphere which completely surrounds a star, collecting all the suns energy. Other forms have been postulated where people actually live on the inner surface of the sphere as well.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyson_sphere

Jun didn't make it to the dyson sphere, he was never mentioned in GoO (unless they did a revised version)

There's a very long gap between Ghosts of Onyx and the Fall of Reach.

Hell, there's a long gap between Reach and the fall of Reach.

I just became Lt. Colonel last night and got the " Make It Rain " achievment. Rockin' the Collar/Breacher chest,saving up for the mechanical arm Collar/Breacher chest.

Oh! I also have all the voices for noble team except for Carter

What religion do they belive in the halo universe?
Also my friend said that if you hold out for long enough in the lone wolf mission a pellican crashes off the map, when you go to it you can see juns body??? anyone know if this is true???

Humanity? Ya, they are likely still the same way they are now, with minor religions likely being phased-out.
