I'm pretty sure Bungie will add a whole code list in a day or 2 like they done before.
I rarely try codes. I only was somehow able to use a code for something I've already forgot about but was pretty major in the past, but that was luck. Most people bot this stuff.
Someone posted the noble ones on modacity and I think this entire forum took them all XD I got one and so did a few other members
:O EpicQuote:

Except the map pack isn't actually out. The links are all there but the actual map pack isn't up yet.
I'm just going to see if I can snatch a code today. Warlord posted codes from the Waypoint forums on the day of the Noble pack's release. That place was a ghost town, which allowed us to nonchalantly snatch them up, but it will probably be more active by now. Just get a browser window ready with the xbox.com redeem page and be ready to strike like a cobra. Hsssssss.
Except it is and I've had it downloaded for the past 45 minutes.Quote:

I still wish they'd just port over a bunch of Halo 3 maps and some ODST FF maps. Lost Platoon would be great (put in some choppers!), and Chasm Ten would be fun with jetpacks.
EDIT: Having had a chance to run around the maps, Unearthed seems like it will be a fun and different Firefight map, but it really, desperately needs something other than the rocket hog. Wolf and I played a bit of it, and the rocket hog just isn't any good. It's useless at range, inaccurate, and pretty much a death trap up close. Like in Beachhead, it's just a joke vehicle.
Condemned looks pretty neat. Each room has its own unique layout, and it's surprisingly large. I could see it working as an Invasion Skirmish map.
Highlands might just be Reach's first good BTB map. It feels like a Halo PC map, both in a good and bad way. Good in that it will hopefully play well, but bad in that some of the map's details, such as the water, repeating textures, awful-looking trees in the distance, and abrupt transition between some geometry (e.g. no grime where human structures meet the ground, cave UVs don't properly connect). But I don't mind it really. There's a comforting familiarity to it, it still looks nice, and I'd much rather 343i/CA spend time on making the map fun as possible than making it as pretty as possible.
it is, you have to go to the market place, but its thereQuote:

It seems fun otherwise. It's really too bad the Forge palette sucks, because this could've made a great invasion map, too. Hopefully someone more clever than I can get it to work.
I wasn't trolling.Quote:

Also I'm liking the new maps so far. Haven't gotten the chance to play Unearthed yet though.
Apparently there's a special variant of Condemned called Uplink which uses special Forge pieces to block off certain rooms of the map. It seems pretty neat.
I don't think it's necessary to have all these power weapons either. But, so far, I've been ok with the rockets spawning in the bases since it seems to be a vehicle heavy map. I'm sure my opinion will change when people start to abuse the rockets. So far I've been able to snipe them and kill them with the DMR before they've gotten me though.Quote:

After which I would smack the weak sauce producers. There's no way that slipped by unintentionally unless the majority of 343i has never played the game (and you don't play the game without tweaking your armor).
I insist any Halo PC oldfag is required to buy the "bad graphics spartan" getup I stole from Pooky (or was it Teekup?). Mk5 Helmet, Black visor, FJ/Para Shoulders, Grenadier Knees, and I think that's the stock chest.Quote:

You need the gametypes thats saved temporarly. Like go in matchmaking and wait for stockpile.. Once the game is over go into custom games and select the temp history gametype, start game.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...d.php?t=300051
or you can load the game types in customs like normal exit out and then load the maps and gametype from temporary history and start the game again.
Worked like a charm, thanks.
Thanks wolf for the tip. Easy gamer score.
I got that achievement legitimately. Does that make me pro?
I really wish I could dish out $20 right now for the map and XBL, but sadly I'm on a narrow budget. Highlands looks to be a blast; if I do renew, I'll make sure it's for extended amounts of time.
I hope another Halo game isn't released anytime soon. I'm hoping late 2012 or mid 2013. I miss the 3 year intervals between games. Plus, i need to be able to play Reach long enough to enjoy the DLC content and all of that stuff.
Let me just say, Unearthed is easily the best Firefight map by far. Very close to Lost Platoon.
Condemned seems to be a little out of place within the playlist; it seems like it would really excel in 6-8 player FFAs rather than 6v6s. It just gets too crowded with people nading each other in the more confined areas. I had a game where people quit out and it turned into 4v4, which was lots of fun, which lead me to this idea. For the Uplink vs. Condemned I like Uplink better because of the way the paths are broken up.
I'm really enjoying Unearthed, brings me back to the good old days of when Lost Platoon hogging with a friend in ODST wasn't played to death. I don't think it would be a stretch to say this one is my favorite of the maps.
Highlands is just what BTB needs. This is how a btb map is supposed to be. It is fun to drive around but it takes more skill than most other maps. But it's also fairly easy to get around on foot and find weapons. Too bad it's DLC and will never be seen in the BTB playlist, and Hemorrhage will still reign supreme (all hail).
I still hope they are gonna use Halo 2's DLC model. Where the DLC maps became free after X months. I don't mind paying for them to get them early and it would be a shame to only play them in DLC playlists.
Lol, it acts like blood gulch just more noobish. What do you expect from little kids?Quote:

Comms hallway, observation deck, and stairwell blocked off (IIRC) with special dev-only Forge pieces. Overall shape is more of an eight than a wheel with four spokes. Only ways between each side of the map are through the center room or through teleporters. Weapon layout changed (e.g. sword in the center, no rockets).
Condemned is rather huge, so Uplink is a smaller, more directed experience. It's pretty fun.
The April MM update looks promising! Especially the new HUD widget for when your flag is away or when it is held by an enemy douche. It's the little things.
It's the little things (that have been in every Halo game previous). They still haven't done a thing about the transparent, easily-obstructed teammate icons in Invasion. This stuff should've gotten fixed after the beta, not months after the release of the full game.
EDIT: And I liked The Cage. It sounds like it will be entirely replaced by Uncaged, but Uncaged is lame.
I hate how those non-visible points over your other teammates heads. They're more or less pointless if you can't tell where your team is from a distance.Quote:

Had to reload Halo twice to get it to work.
I'm sorry Arty, but I'll have to agree with pooky.
What?
Ah yes now I realise why I quit Reach.
First game back for 4 months, first time ever playing the game. I get a 3rd of our teams kills in a 6 v 6 game. Bullshit.
I'll be back playing Reach soon. Limited I'll add you. Anybody else just send me a request.
GT: Darkbdawg08
I still wanna change my name to Spartan094 but it sounds off on xbox to me.
Also limited, this is why you play in parties and not on your own with other random people, just hardly works.
Well I used to always play with Kornman and Masters but that stopped as masters kept wanting to play invasion.Quote:

YES. Does it play as well as the H3 version did? I saw a few Reach versions, but I could never find one as fun and smooth as the original.Quote:

We should start playing again :D
In my experience, it was fun if you wanted to use a Jetpack, otherwise you could go fuck yourself. I haven't played Reach in a while, so I haven't seen what Uncaged is like, but I have to agree that putting a Rocket Launcher on such a tiny map seems like a full-on Bungie caliber dumb idea.Quote:

So I did some digging...Unearthed grew from 151mb to 408mb (at first I was like 'wat', then I was like 'wut'). That appears to be the difference in the file sizes of the map packs released.
How could this be?Quote:

finished ToTS LASO weekly with annihilation
easy part had to be the spire fight (when you're up in the actual spire)
Best way to finish that section is to hijack a banshee and just fly up avoiding the majority of the fighting.Quote:

Yeah, I tried doing the LASO with a friend, but for some reason the Pelican at the beginning wouldn't drop off the Warthog...except for once, but then the enemies in the FRG turrets immediately shot it off the edge...
i used jetpack, got the drop on the sword elite, picked up his PR and sword, lured another elite out and drained it shields then punched it to death while strafing, last elite killed stealthy (go up behind itQuote:

Or is your ego telling you otherwise not to include me in your text of doing LASO and helping half way through before I lagged out.
I did it solo yesterday, was easy for the most part. The part where you ride in the Falcon gunning down turrets and Grunts and stuff was almost the end of it all for me ...
I'm up for it.Quote:

It's not just that I was already half way through the entire thing and I lag out. It really irritates me and I WANT to do it again.
I can probably only get on to do it tomorrow afternoon or this weekend some time.Quote:

hurf and I told you once I move BACK to Michigan I'll have Comcast instead of the "shit" provider you so called it in Georgia, so don't get your panties in a bunch and bitch to me about this when I come online when I come to do LASO.
you could always use a gamesave for doing these maps on laso.
just saying.
Why would you get anything except FIOS? Lol... Also, why are you still sucking money out of your parents budgets? I thought you were old enough to be working part-time at least.

im curious, what happens when one of those fios cables snaps? that must be such an incredible bitch to fix, if its even feasibly possible.

Dun Dun Dun!!!
xxsaviours0ul, cloudspider and Evil Otto (Bungie employer), all their accounts have been hacked with 100% commendations complete, the first 2 names were at like 93% and now they have bumped straight up.
I reckon Bungie has decreased the amount needed to max out, and Evil Otto was the test gamertag Bungie used to check it worked.
Thoughts?
Also fuck you has hacked it, how does he have that GT? 27 games and 100% max commendations? Total bull.
Video Proof
This guy has haunted, but hes not Inheritor or Bungie employee
Yeah kind of lame the game is getting hacked like this, hope Bungie swing the hammer with full might!
Lol, I saw detox with full armor a while back, like 3mo ago online. It's been known for a while its possible.Quote:

Well both the Reclaimers deserved to be banned for their party boosting they do and account sharing.
Besides no normal human being would ever have Firefight Perfectionist: MAX
I think Bungie is holding off banning them for when they reach Inheritor...so everyone can laugh their asses off at how they wasted every single day for a year for nothing.
Oh lord, finished LASO finally with sevlag and my annoying ukraine friend and I didn't lag out this time! Sevlag kept getting fucked more then nine ways by concussion elites and the sword elite.
Who else here has seen the new RvB trailer? Someone please tell me what I'm seeing is an illusion.
Not only does it appear they have Reach assets, but they also appear to have ODST assets. Quite possibly, that is all in-engine from the looks of it (the animations look mo-cap, which we all know the Reach pipeline now supports).
If I still lived in Texas, I'd launch an assault on RT's HQ.
Trailer will be released to the public in:
14 hours 19 minutes 4 seconds
I wouldn't be surprised if they have access to assets, Bungie loves the guys at Rooster Teeth. The Halo 2 lower-weapon functionality was added for them by request...
Sign up or sign in and you won't have to wait. l2read.
I figured it was going to be another money-grab from them so I didn't bother but okay.
