Back in my prime I was able to keep the whole map locked down, not allowing anyone to go anywhere I didn't want them to. And no, I didn't excessively, or even moderately camp - I used the top tower as a vantage point, then I came down and kicked your ass face-to-face (or rocket-to-face) with my boots landing squarely on your corpse. So many people rage-quit because of me having the literal drop on them.

On another note, some of my best times on V1 were with no more than four people - V2 was just too huge and needlessly complicated to ever allow that kind of intimate gameplay.

So basically lots of rocket whoring?

Nah, my preferred weapons were Sniper and Shotgun, with Rockets being used against long-range moving targets (100+ meters away - I could kill someone from the Top Tower as they were ascending the Mongoose Tower with a body shot, and would sometimes kill someone else before the shot even connected, still confident that the kill was in the bag) and the Fuel Rod for indirect fire, which I was a badass at. You know how people would sometimes sit on the flag ladders, with their heads sitting just under the top rim of the glass, so not even a rocket could kill them? I killed those people with Fuel Rods easily. As I said, though, I usually engaged my targets by descending the mountain and attacking from above. I will admit I've used Rockets often while doing this, but some of my best kills were with the Shotgun (coming all the way from the top just to get right in your face and feed you some pellets) and with the Sniper (taking out two Warthogs at close range with noting but 4 rounds and a well placed pair of grenades. Ask Pooky - he was there spectating at the time).

Proboy.

:smug:


But anyways. From what little I managed to play in tests the gameplay is prety similar though there are key differences caused by the difference in range between the BR and Sniper. The map should be released soon.

The new light maps are so much sexier. But there is still a very... odd... problem. I already know what's causing it but the first person to figure it out gets some +rep. Here is a video of the "Ladders of Doom".

... collision?

Could it be a problem with the shader?, I had a similar problem once with a plasma shader, if you shot at it, it would even crash the game! I fixed it by checking or unchecking a field in the tags, don't remember what is was though :(

The ladder thought you were

coming onto it.

Close. The ladder was overlapping the face on the glass so it was "technically" outside the bsp so when you climbed on it Halo 2 decided you were outside the BSP and it LOLGUARDIAN'd you.

You wish you had that kind of skill :realsmug:

Actually I was there, sitting in a mongoose down in the trenches, using dev cam to tell Sever where people were going.

That's how a true wall hacker does it.
