    TBH the campaign was average but better than halo 2. It all went downhill right from the beginning of halo 2. I think what amazed me with halo 3 was the theater mode, it blew me away how you can watch any part of the angle with a match you play, incredible. Besides that though, nothing really caught me, the gameplay is much the same as halo 2 with the great additional features like the bubble shield and spike grenades, which are fun while it lasts. Overall though after being such a fan of halo 2, the more I play halo 3 the more dissapointed I am with it. Maybe it's because I am constantly using the assault rifle or the crappyness of the maps I don't know but I am losing interest easily now.

    Speaking of Saved Films, I just did the most hilarious, jackass thing in a game of Lone Wolves.

    The other four players were talking about helping each other out with getting the Two-For-One laser shot achievement, so they arranged in the pre-game lobby to meet on top of the ghost on Snowbound.

    So I spawned and headed straight for the sniper.

    I waited behind a corner until they all congregated on top of the snowbank, pulled out my sniper, and BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!; four headshots for an overkill, an achievement I didn't have! So I got an achievement while ruining their plans to get an achievement. :lol:!!!!

    Assault Rifle kills = 405
    Melee kills = 396

    :lol:

    Just had a easy game in Lone Wolves. Never done it before so I had skill 4 but rank as Luitenant. So I came in the match, everyone had skill 4 and rank Private :lol: I got an achievement for 10 kills in a row, and K/D spread of +22 :lol:

    Good times.

    I've got two questions:

    1) Anyone ever been able to sword kill someone while riding on a mongoose?

    2) Anyone ever played Infection in either Ranked or Social matches?
    Because I never come across it...

    1. Never really noticed, since most of the levels the mongoose is in (high ground, valhalla, isolation, and perhaps sandtrap and last resort) don't have a sword on the level.

    2. Nope. I'm fairly certain it hasn't been introduced...yet.

    Yeah, I was just thinking about how it would be pretty cool to sword kill someone like that and I really want to play infection too.

    Death by pylon

    Mmm. Metal

    Needless to say, both people were awarded the Recon Armor perm by Bungie for these feats.

    I played a game of team slayer on the pit 4v4 and I just had the sword and the fools kept rushing into the little building and before I knew it I had the Slice 'N' Dice medal (10 kills in a row all with the sword without dying). also, when I was on that spree, I would have gotten Steppin' Razor, Triple Kill, and Overkill, but alas, it was not Lone Wolves.

    achievements still needed (13):

    triple kill
    overkill
    killing frenzy
    steppin' razor
    maybe next time buddy
    we're in for some chop
    used car salesman
    beat campaign on heroic/legendary
    two for one
    marathon man (just the terminal on Halo is left!)
    vanguared (Covenant)
    orpheus (Cortana)

    I have a feeling I'm never going to get two for one.

    http://www.bungie.net/stats/Halo3/FileShare.aspx?gamertag=Birdum - my brother's impressive sniping skills on Valhalla + I'm going to go add his two for one video to his file share.

    anyways message me if you want to play sometime.

    Not when you've got jackasses like me ruining the achievement with an overkill. I still can't get over that video. :lol:!

    I'm currently a Major, Grade 1 with 285 EXP. Only 15 EXP until my Commander rank.

    http://www.bungie.net/stats/Halo3/CareerStats.aspx?player=Norman05

    Achievements still needed:
    1-9: All of the meta-game achievements (9)
    10: Mongoose Mowdown
    11: Steppin' Razor
    12: Killing Frenzy (Surprised I haven't gotten this yet)
    13: Fear The Pink Mist
    14: We're In For Some Chop
    15. Headshot Honcho (Surprised about this one, too)
    16: Maybe Next Time Buddy

    Just finished Marathon Man and Too Close To The Sun yesterday, actually.

    It might seem pretty obvious, but for Headshot Honcho, make sure you're using a sniper rifle.

    I know for a fact I've gotten over 10 headshots with a sniper rifle in a game but I still don't have Headshot Honcho.

    Apparently there was this big Halloween theme yesterday, but I missed it...

    Infection was introduced and the levels were edited to match the theme.

    Anyone played any of that?

    Yeah, played tons of it. Hahaha.

    What a blast. Got a new achievement (Mongoose Mowdown) and so many people got 2 for 1 and Steppin' Razor due to the weapon spawns.

    Got some of the infection medals, too. Last Man Standing, Infection Spree, and Zombie Spree.

    That's awesome, I wish my neighbour would've informed me about it... He played it all night without telling me.
