It depends on the type of shipping they use. I'd expect at least a week, at most a month. Although, on most items it says to expect delivery to be between 4-6 weeks. Unless you requested and paid for express or overnight delivery, it could take between 2-6 weeks.

With a hammer and chisel lol Did you know that can openers weren't invented until nearly 50 years after cans?

Deaf, I'm already half way there anyway lol WYR be missing your arms or legs?

Bless me father for I have sinned. I repeatedly betrayed a teammate on a legendary run of Halo 2 this weekend. To be fair, he started it though by shooting me until my shields popped so that jackal snipers could kill me so he could grab the sniper off of the checkpoint instead of me. His reaction to me sticking him in the back off the spawn was too priceless to resist doing over and over and over.

They are mainly for playdates, as I've stated lol and thanks God, ikr -.- I had to remake two of the maps, and rework the spawns on ALL of them .-. Got most of the bugs out, but there are still one or two floating around I'm sure. lol

That's right, it's here at last! The map pack you've all been waiting for for so long! The Director's Cut map pack includes 5 maps. 4 of these five maps are set up to be played on all game types, and were created by The Director (me). The fifth map was created by nocturnparadox, and has it's own custom game type to be played on it. Here are the maps, available for download. 1. Shreya's Bridge: 2-16 players Click here to download! 2. Tenochtitlan: 2-16 players Click here to download! 3. Walkway: 2-16 players Click here to download! 4. The Playground: 2-16 players Click here to download! 5. Invasion High Tide (by nocturnparadox): Click here to download! Click here for the High Tide Invasion game type download! Now remember, you can edit 1-4 as much as you'd like, and if you come up with a better version go ahead and post a download link. However, the fifth one is not mine, so you will have to message nocturnparadox asking him if you can edit it or not. Remember, the main purpose of these maps is to give us something new to play during Community Playdates. If you would like to come up with a map pack of your own, please message a moderator. Not me. A mod. Anyways, sorry for the wait. Please enjoy yourselves on the new maps!

Well guess what? NOW YOU CAN! http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/11224-its-here-at-last/

Ordinance drops take into account kill assists, close calls, and a variety of other things as well. Once you get to a certain amount of points, you get an ordinance drop. The current things included in ordinance drops are overshields, damage boosts, speed boosts, the scattergun, and the Sticky Grenade (the grenade launcher that looks like a pistol). While these will give you a decent advantage, when you use an ordinance drop, it doesn't always land right at your feet. All ordinance drops also have a waypoint above them for every player on the map. So, if you are trying to hide, or are in a lower level, calling in ordo is a bad idea because it will either give away your position, or land above you. Now, let's get onto the OP. In this theoretical situation you've crafted to point out that this is a bad idea, it seems as if you are talking about a 1v1 while playing Infinity Slayer. An experience player vs. an inexperienced player. Now, in this situation the inexperienced player is ALWAYS at a disadvantage, unless you are playing a game where skill doesn't matter at all. However, if the inexperienced player can manage to get five kills (mind you, not five kills in a row without dying, but five kills AT ALL) then they will get an ordinance drop for their troubles. And they can use it whenever they want to, it doesn't go away unless they use it. Historically speaking, Halo has always had a pretty steep learning curve when compared to other leading FPS games. However, in every FPS game, an inexperienced player will not commonly beat an experienced one. That being said, you point is not valid because you used something that is applicable to every feature of every FPS game invented so far. If we took your theory of it giving a bonus to the experienced player meaning it's a bad idea and applied it to other features, then customizable controls are a bad idea, maps are a bad idea, power weapons and vehicles are a bad idea, and precision weapons are also a bad idea. Basically, entire games become a bad idea. This renders your argument about inexperienced players vs. experienced players invalid. So, let's talk about what would happen if we were to pit two experienced players of similar skill level together. What would the ordo drops be then? They wouldn't give either player an advantage, because both can use them to their own benefit. They add in a bit of fun and thrill instead. It adds in a little bit of strategy, rather than just running and gunning. A for instance of the strategy that ordinance drops will bring to the table: You get an ordinance drop because you've killed five enemies, however three of the five enemies have respawned near you. Calling in the ordinance drop will alert them to your location and give them a chance to kill you for it. What you decide to do instead is run back to where your team is, and allow the guy who is obviously having an off game pick it up instead to help your teams chances of victory. As you can obviously tell, I do not consider Ordinance Drops to be a bad idea, and I fail to see how you could think that they would be.

I used to take missiles to the face like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

So basically a destroyable environment?

Congrats! I hope you get to 20k posts!

Welcome to the forums I hope you enjoy your stay.

Or so the rumor mill will have you believe. lol Remember, whatever you hear (unless it can be readily proven) should be taken with a grain of salt.

Welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy your time here and stay a while If you have any questions, feel free to post here http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/8421-ask-the-director/?do=findComment&comment=89409 And mind you, that's ANY questions. I'd prefer if it were questions on how to do stuff on the forum or in Halo, but know-it-alls can't be choosers I guess. lol

Welcome to the forums. If you have any questions at all, please entrust them to me. I'm good with that sort of thing lol Here's a link http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/8421-ask-the-director/?do=findComment&comment=89409 I hope you enjoy your stay here, and stay for a long time

Certainly not YOU lmao OP: Good to hear. I may frequent the shoutbox more often now

It's either a problem with XBL, your internet, or your HDD. If it's XBL, you gotta wait it out, maybe call and complain a bit. If it's your internet, restart modems/routers, maybe call your ISP and complain a bit. If it's your HDD, then clear your cache, and look for corrupted items to delete. Then maybe call yourself and complain to yourself about having to do this because of yourself, if you like the calling and complaining bit.

I'm hoping that it does. I myself lack the recording technology to make it possible

Did you know that Twam and GermanShepherdD both have their own emoticon? for Twam and for GermanShepherdD.

The reason they dropped Halo is because Halo Reach very simply put is not as fun to watch as other games. Sponsors sponsor people to play games that people want to watch people play, otherwise the sponsor is just throwing money away. While it is a bit crap for them to drop Halo (instead of grabbing a PC port of Halo 2 or taking Reach out and putting Halo 3 in it's stead), it's not likely that they will not have Halo 4 in their tournaments later.

Yeah, I feel your pain here. Bungie designed Halo Reach to be playable either offline or online, not both. When I first got Halo Reach, I didn't have an internet connection so I could only play offline. I got all the way up to Lt. Colonel (which at the time was the highest rank available). Then, when I finally got my internet, it demoted me down to corporal and took about 90% of the credits I had earned. My friend who I was playing with was actually more upset about this happening to me than I was lol but yeah, it did suck. I'd either be a Nova or really close to being a Nova by now if they hadn't done that. That isn't to say all hope is lost. While it is unlikely that 343i even knows how to promote you back to what you were offline (since Bungie is the one who put this delightful little feature in the game), you can get back to hero in just a week or two. Firefight is your friend in this regard, Score Attack in particular.
