I think you should get an achievment for finding Jonathan Ross.

(not kidding)

bob269

How long did it take you ? Can you remember what the time multiplier was on when you finished.

I don't think you get points from AI foot soldiers, only when they are in a vehicle with you.

bob269

The jumping thru rings Skull unlocks bonus dialogue thru out the game, maybe he features here?

messiah

That first level is one of the trickiest, due to there being that many marines (well it is a level 1 training mission after all) that they take kills away from you. So far, its the only level where I didn't reach the 15K mark before exiting the level, the time multiplier got me the bonus I needed.

messiah

I was playing the Ark and went to swap weapons with a Marine who then said something like "Don't even think about touching me"* and I thought "WTF? Its Jonathan Ross!"

Just checked the Halo Wiki and he is listed!

* In true Ross style, it was possibly "Don't even think about touching me down there..." - Was near start or level so might try and recreate it tonight.

bob269

If you run to the first few checkpoints you reach it before any marines and can take your pick of enemy, it only seems to spawn the arbiter guy

bob269

Lol will keep an eye out.

And see, told ya so

InvisibleMan

we thought the same, er was thar jonathan ross!? think he may also have been a grunt. The grunts are the funniest!

Also did you see the bit where a marine is being asked for a password to enter the door...very funny

The conversation changes depending on what level you play at (i've done normal and heroic)

RB5-Black

how do you claim a skull ... do you have to carry it to the end of the level. Just pplayed through the 1st level on Heroic (oh my skills are rusty) found a skull picked up then chucked it

didn't get the unlock for it

bob269

Just throw them, there are 9 unlockable achiement Gold skulls and 4 Silver, if you found the one near the start of the first level (Sierra 117) it's silver and not an achiement.

Check here

https://www.scoobynet.com/computer-r...-3-skulls.html

messiah

Just pick it up, then drop it again.

There are silver skulls (4 in total) and 9 gold skulls, one on each level which give 10G's each.

They unlock stuff, but stuff that makes the game harder, they're aimed at the hardcore Halo lovers who'll play though the campaign quite often.

Halo 3 *New* Medals List! - Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox 360 Games Forum

This is a list of some of the medals you can get from playing Halo3

StickyMicky

lad on my gamerlist already has 1000 GS from this game, sent me a message last night boasting LOL

messiah

I was chuffed to bits last night when I got my triple kill achievement.

InvisibleMan

thats only for ranked isnt it? How does ranked games compare to non-ranked player friendlywise? I just have a feeling it would be more aggressive and all gang up on the noob as its easy ranking.

Well i got some of those hard to reach skulls with a slightly misplaced granade that sent me flying in the right direction

messiah

The matchmaking seems to work pretty well - as a "noob" its probably better to get in sooner rather than later while there are others with the same rank.

Say you're a rank 3 - the game will look for other rank 3's to place you with, if it doesnt find enough if will then start looking for 2 & 4's - seems to work OK.

Nobody speaks in Lone Wolves...

We were doing Big Team Battle and some gobby yank appeared on the other side telling us he was going to rape us all (he was a major going by his badge) anyway, guess who was the first one to die - yep the gobby yank. And to rub salt into the wound, one of our lot teabagged him and sent him it as a clip...

InvisibleMan

sounds ominous


well ive graduated from basic training so ive been booted out of there, a little too soon i feel...so its time to be released into the big multiplayers...

I play ranked and un ranked games and you get the same medals for both types (go to bungie.net and put in you gamer tag to see what medals you've earned Bungie.net : Bungie Online : Halo 3 Service Record this is mine obviously ).

People i play with are 99.9% friendly but i've had 1 gob ****e yank who doesn't like WRXs which i don't think is too bad in over 100 games).

Social play mean you normally get anybody.
Rank play means on the particular game type you will get put with players of a similar SKILL level (which can up or down depending on how well you do BUT you rank will never change)

Teabagging is when you've killed someone you go over their corpse and repeatedly crouch like you are putting your ballsin their mouth

bob269

The good thing about social matches is that you can choose to play the same players again the next round if you had a good game.

Ranked works well mostly however i've played with guys at 150exp points and i've wasted them, similarly i've played guys at 20exp and they've wasted me. It's mostly a numbers game, i got the spartan officer rank and don't consider myself that good.

Messiah, triple kill is the easy one, try for the 4 Overkill or survive 10 kills

I think you need to drop lucky and enter a match with a bunch of noobs

I've found to get exp quicker is by swappng betwwen game lobbies (rank and social) and playing lots of different games not just Slayer or Team Slayer (i think someone may have mentioned this already).

messiah

Tonight will be my last Halo 3 for a while - PGR4 tomorrow and planning on sending my scratched discs off to MS for replacement...

StickyMicky

LMAO

nothing better then a gobby yank "talking the talk" and then having to "walk the walk"(of shame)

do people quit games in halo if they are not winning?

might get around to trying this multiplayer stuff this weekend

bob269

Quitting costs you 1 exp point, however if you've played enough games then 1 point is nothing, but yeah they do spit their dummy out and quit.

I also had some guy send me an abusive message (the usual c**k sucker, w***er, f**k and mother) because he was on 5-6 kills and i killed him, he was basically camping, i was gonna report him but couldnt figure out how so i just blocked him, content of the message didnt bother me but there was no need for it, and i could of been a kid for all he knew.

InvisibleMan

had a game lastnight, ballet everywhere loosing badly so i decided to take up dancing too - ended up being 2nd thus getting exp and ranking up to private.
The bungie site seems to be lagging. Its got the uptodate games ive played but not my status

StickyMicky

what is ballet ?

InvisibleMan

jumping instead of running so legs looks like theyre skipping. jumping & spinning while shooting like theyre practising ballet while theyre not in gymclass

messiah

Had that last night - came across "Trusty Black Guy" who was sat with a sniper rifle, so I stuck a plasma greande on his back - he quit after that, the first time he'd been killed.

Played a few games where half the opposing team have dropped out, and you sometimes fell sorry for their team-mates they've left behind who get an ****-whipping - usually make a point of thanking them in the lobby for not dropping in the face of overwhelming odds.

StickyMicky

sounds like the gears of war problem, with gimps dropping out from games and screwing the team over.

iTrader: (1)

I will never quit, as pointed out i'd be fecking my team mates over and it's always worth playing through just incase you get any cool,funny or weird kills to either keep the movie or take screenshots (have a quick look at the link in post 109 for a funny screenshot)
