Finally, X-Box Live got over its Headlong fetish. I was getting tired of that level.

Zanzibar is back. I was playing great tonight, especially with the sniper rifle. :D

Zanzibar is by far my favorite level. You can do any type of game mode on it and it works ecceptionaly well. My fav, free for all phantoms, with only sniper rifles. :naughty: nothing get's my juices going that that setup

We should get a big game of MX Halo on X-Box Live one day.

Does that skill level number thing change for each type of game? Like I'm a 4 in Team Skirmish, but when I went to Rumble Pit it started me at 1 again.

3074326
11-18-2004, 10:38 PM
If you create the game, yes. You can't choose the games you play in Matchmaking, that's the worst part about X-Box Live.

You can go into Matchmaking with friends though.

Zakath
11-18-2004, 10:50 PM
Yea that's what my buddy and I have been doing.

But when I try to create a game, it says only people on my friends list will be able to join or something..

3074326
11-18-2004, 10:57 PM
Yeah, when you create a game friends of in-game players are the only people who can join. That kind of sucks.

I guess it's a good way to keep the rankings even/fair.

Well, Xbox Live is certainly better then XBC. The only annoying thing is the amount of "1 flag CTF" at Zanzibar.

I was actually dissapointed, because when you beat Halo 1 on Legendary, theres a littel cutscene where a seargent and an elite hug and grab asses. In Halo2, Nothing :upset: . I was hoping for some Brute/Elite tenderly love :naughty:

You didn't miss anything... we'll find out in Halo 3 I guess. And the ship was heading to Earth to "finish what it started"

It's not really an ending, it's like a cutscene between levels, except there's no level 16.


The Arbiter finally catches up with Tartarus in the control room of Halo. Arbiter asks the Guilty Spark 343 thing what the purpose of Halo is etc to prove to Tartarus that the prophets lied to them and it's not a "great journey." Guilty Spark 343 says that the people who created all the rings (the Forerunners) did it to eliminate all possible flood hosts so they (the flood) couldn't survive. The Forerunners were forced to activate some rings and were killed along with all the life in three galaxies or something. Tartarus puts the icon into it's place anyway, which activates the ring. You then kill Tartarus, and Miranda rips out the icon. The ring still fires some weird beam thing into the space in the middle of Halo, which explodes pretty harmlessly. Guilty Spark 343 says the ring is now communicating with the other rings which are now on standby mode after emergency shutdown. They can still all be activated by remote activation. The cutscene fades to black after the Arbiter asks where you can remotely activate the rings, and 343 says "Why, the Ark of course."

Then it switches to the Master Chief who managed to get onboard the Covanent Forerunner ship that is going back to Earth to finish what they started. The last scene you see is the ship exiting hyperspace above Earth where there's still fighting going on in space. MC radios the Admiral and the Admiral is like "Master Chief? What are you doing here?" and MC says "Finishing the fight, sir."

After the credits roll, you see a short cutscene back on the blown up High Charity. Cortana is still alive, and the weird sea creature that sent MC and the Arbiter their separate ways wants to ask her some questions.

I've finally beaten the first level on Legendary. Its getting easier now. Took me forever to get past that room with the boxes and the two grunts in the turrets on the top level, and the boarding ship. There was like 20 Elites to kill, and those bastards always hid behind stuff after you hit them, so they would recharge. Its all about the dual plasma pistols charged+blast from afar+whip out the battle rifle+cap fool in the head. The plasma pistol and the submachine dual wielding is also an excellent combo.

You don't get foundation through beating it. Its been released online with an update.


Before the update like a week ago, you had to play co-op to unlock it through a glitch in the game. Bungie decided it was too hard to have players go through that process of unlocking it. So they released it as a patch that just unlocks it on your cd.


IF you don't have live, and you can't get the update, you can only unlock it the hard way.

Ask if you need to know.

Ramsey
11-22-2004, 02:57 PM
I need to know.
You must first beat the game. Then you start a new profile, with this profile you start a co-op game, the new profile assigned to the second player controller. With this, you start the games last level, and when Johnson asks you to pilot a banshee, you have the second player pilot a banshee and have him preform a few barrell rolls. Once you've done this, you play through the level normally until the end. This unlocks foundation.


You can do that, or you can just get the update which automatically unlocks it from Bungie.

No you didnt, the first game I joined it was already about 22-0, and I somehow had like 5 people on my team, doing nothing. And I totally pwned in the rockets in foundation, but not in headlong, or whatever that snow level is called, because I was lagging.
Its called lockout. And I pwned rockets in lockout.


I'm not saying I totally owned you specifically, but I came out top three, so I consider that pretty darn decent. I'm just saying this because you thought I was terrible.

When you left makip made a clan, and we got killed in a clanmatch. Then we just played a game using vehicles, in which I ate some really bad candy, and caused me to throw up 10+ times in the night, and diarrhea thrice in the morning. AND, I cant eat or drink or else I'll throw it up, and on top of that, I farted on the couch, and poop came out.

New health system is more realistic and blows the old one out of the water.

P¡mpyMchorseHorse
11-22-2004, 05:36 PM
You must first beat the game. Then you start a new profile, with this profile you start a co-op game, the new profile assigned to the second player controller. With this, you start the games last level, and when Johnson asks you to pilot a banshee, you have the second player pilot a banshee and have him preform a few barrell rolls. Once you've done this, you play through the level normally until the end. This unlocks foundation.


You can do that, or you can just get the update which automatically unlocks it from Bungie.


Can you do it on anydifficulty?

Haha then the next match, it was Lockout again but thankfully regular weapons. Well the other guy had a sword, and he was in that room where the plasma pistol always spawns and it's by the ramp going up to the sniper spot. I was in the walkway facing the ramp. We stayed like that literally for about two minutes with him trying to toss nades at me. He laughed and said it looks like we're at a standoff. I told him I wasn't coming in because I knew he had a sword, and he said he wasn't coming out because he knew I had two big guns.

A Sniper? That is the lamest, cheapest thing I have ever heard. Snipers piss me off. It is so easy to just chill out in some remote place and pick fools off. Sniper rifles should have random rounds in them that blow up in your face to discourage the use of them.

A Sniper? That is the lamest, cheapest thing I have ever heard. Snipers piss me off. It is so easy to just chill out in some remote place and pick fools off. Sniper rifles should have random rounds in them that blow up in your face to discourage the use of them.

It is also really easy to sneak up on them and assasinate them. And it is impossible to aim it at someone up close out of the scope.

Snipers are in every gun game, deal with it.

Sniping takes skill if you shoot for the head. If you shoot for the body, it's really not that hard.

I'm a sniper. I usually move around, but I shoot for the head every time.

Zakath and whoever else was in that game, I don't dig rockets and swords only..

It was fun though.
Everytime I try to enter Zakath's tag, it says it doesn't exist. And I just don't know yours, 3074326.

Have you ever tried sniping on Socom 2?

I'm really getting tired of Headlong though. It's all I play when I'm in Big Team Battle.
