Good game. I'll be back on after school.

Later.

That's just loads of fun. That hiding place you had on the last map was awesome, haha. Drove right past you at first, thinking "...wait just a second here..." Lot of good it did me to turn around. Fun stuffs.

This has got to happen more often. We definitely need to set up a time that works for everone to meet at once soon.



Awesome, I'll try to be on if possible. Do you know an approximate time that'll be?

In 30 minutes.

Great, I should be there.

*lurks on the empty server*

I'm a little busy ... umm gimme another 30-45 minutes...

Aaand the results of the last game I played:

Good stuffs. I love that mode, it's crazy fun when you get several people on at once.


On a slightly off-topic note, I sure as heck am glad I brought my laptop with me to my brother's. As I mentioned in the other thread, I was supposed to help him and his fiancee print out wedding invitations, but it was delayed because they wanted to watch a movie first. The movie was Phantom of the Opera. EEP. The only thing preventing me from doing a swan dive off the roof of his house was my laptop with Halo and his wireless internet connection. >_<

And then to make things that much more annoying, after the movie was over they (mainly my brother) decided to postpone the invitations until next week because it was getting late. GEE, THANKS. Doesn't bother me, all I did was disconnect my printer and drag it and my computer and stuff over there and get everything set up and ready for nothing. AARGH.

So yeah. Hooray for Halo helping me retain what little sanity I may have left.


Speaking of off-topicness, maybe I should split this into separate Halo Server Info and Halo Server Discussion topics or something...

*does so*

Haha... I died three times from having the warthog fall over me while getting one up to where I took these screenshots (though the images are decently clear even in that small size, they're also links to the full-size shots)



I was alone on the map... and the warthog's fun to drive

Awesome, that's Danger Canyon, isn't it? I'll have to look around there again, I don't even remember it being possible to get a warthog up there.

I've died many times trying to park a warthog on one of the bridges in Infinity, but I have managed to do it successfully a few times. Didn't think to get a screenshot of it, I'll have to go try that again. Warthogs are definitely fun to drive.

I also somehow landed a warthog upside down in a tree near a base in Blood Gulch after someone fired a rocket at me, but they fired again before I could get a screenshot. Darn it.

Alrighty, here's a few screenshots (click for full size). I have too much time on my hands.

This one shows the rather narrow path used to get onto the bridge:


This is during the process of getting up there. (should have gotten one earlier in the process)


And here's after parking successfully:




I'd previously never driven succesfully to the other side without falling off, but I tried it again anyway and was actually successful this time:



Yay.

The hardest part was really getting over the bridges, which are about two wheels thinner than the warthog itself... that is, after I realised that you could get through a series of tight tunnels through either base (where the warthog actually barely fits), I did try getting up some paths on the outside at first, to the ledge on the other side, but it seemed impossible as the warthog insisted on sliding away from the wall.

Also, is there a way to check the name of the map while playing it? I would have typed it in the post, but forgot what it said while loading.

Aah, missed this the other day, as far as I'm aware, no. I haven't seen any way to check the map name while playing from a client. Slightly annoying, since I still forget some of the map names some times.

Does halo have any sort of authentication check to see if your running a legit version? i think i still have a copy floating around here somewhere.

If you choose to connect by Direct IP I think it doesn't. If you open the server browser it will first check if you have a valid key.
