Btw where are you guys getting the callouts from? I'm trying to memorize them off the HUD... I'm still like invis hammer in the... building! The gray one! :good:

Call me a callout wh*re but I have made callouts for both the maps already. Callouts on Swordbase aren't that perfect but they get the job done...almost.

Awesome - pure awesome. Had a few rounds with a lot of guys from here.

 

Karan :lol: with his callouts.

 

JD :D

 

One really stupid question (karoo will back me up on this as well). I get the flags to my base in stockpile but the score doesn't increase. What gives? Do i have to hold the flag and stay around in the stockpile?

 

Bungie has changed enough off the gameplay to make this fresh and yet managed to keep the frantic pace. Even for someone like me who goes online once in three months to play MP, this is brilliant.

 

I hate Swordbase - the map is a mess - narrow straight corridors and stupid walkways. Argh. Also, the flag positions are not optimal IMO.

The flag has to be dropped inside (preferably) your own team stockpile. The flag will score when the little countdown on top gets to zero. AFAIK, during this time,

1. Someone else on your team can pick up and drop the flag, thus taking what should have been your score,

2. Opposing team can either drop your flag outside the stockpile so you don't score,

3. Opposing team can steal your flag and drop it at their stockpile.

 

You can keep moving :lol:

The flags don't count instantly. Instead, they count every minute...at 11, 10, 9 etc. After you've placed them in the Stockpile, you need to defend those flags 'cause 'lil bastards from the enemy team try to sneak in at the very last second to remove the flags.

Classic filly quote - few minutes into a CTF match "What are we playing?" :)

 

:cheers:

 

I was playing with Karan the other day and he (or Rohan) said "One shot, one shot. The guy on my X is one shot."

 

Yeah we are playing Team swat. Everyone is one shot. :devil:

 

Also f**k MTNL. f**k them right up their collective a*s. :fear:

Well, when you die there is a little red X mark to let your teammates know where you have died. If the guy who killed you or is close to your corpse has no shields (and can be taken out by one shot) then you let others on your team to so that they can mop it up.

Heard that a lot today...what does it mean?

you say it when the guy who just killed you is near your dead body and is so weak in health that one shot is gonna take him down... as soon as you die, your waypoint will show a red x until you spawn again... so, your near by team mate could pick up an easy kill with such a callout..

@ctrl Alt Del. Dude. i use the vga cable too at 1440X900. the main prob is that for some reason

all the halo games look washed out when you use vga. its a bug in their code. its been there since

halo 3 actually.... for some odd reason it loads SD textures instead of the HD ones. to truely appreciate

how it looks you gotta plug it into an hdtv. also... this beta is missing some of the final implementations

of the lighting engine. bungie said so in one of their posts. even halo 3 had different lighting between beta and final.

 

seriously though i dont care if the gfx look the same as halo 3. the gameplay is brilliant. and the Dmr once

you get used to it is awesome =D. also.... stockpile is the BESTEST GAMEMODE EVAR!!!!
