Meh, he was harder than Ruby, that's for sure, though I always play without Underwater Materia (usually beat him with 3 minutes left on the clock).

What's the trick, you say? W-Summon paired with KOTR. Mime it with MP Absorb linked for each. Have someone for Final Attack + Phoenix as well. You'll want to face Emerald always first though, as he gives you all the great materia you'll need for the battle against Ruby. If you need help with Ruby, PM me.

Ive done them before, I have a separate save file in my memory card just in case I wanted to do it again. The first time I got killed because I didn't have the MP absorb materia and when my party died, Phoenix was about to be summoned, but Tifa didn't have enough MP to summon it. D:

Still haven't done it without the underwater materia though. Still an awesome battle and an awesome game :D

It's easy as hell though...except for Materia Keeper and Carry Armor (If you don't get KOTR, that is). Those guys were bitches.

How to build your own autoplunger.

[Emmzee]

With Halo 3 only being a month away from release, it comes as no surprise at the hype that is built around it as the days pass. Bungie gives us a little bit to chew every now and then to generate anticipation--anticipation in the hopes of creating a game that will not only be a blockbuster, but a sensational hit with the gaming community. But let's put that into retrospect.

With all that has been given about the game so far, what does it really boil down to? Just to list some of the features in Halo 3 is enough to sell the game apparently. We have 17 weapons to date; 4 of them are power weapons (6 if you count the brute hammer and the energy sword); we have two new types of grenades; we're now getting "equipment"; 4 more vehicles; a map editor; and four player co-op. Hell, even listing all the "new" features made me tired. More importantly though, it made me forget what the game is about.

Is it just me, or does it seem like Bungie is trying to fit in everything they've left out in previous games? I'm vividly reminded of Unreal Tournament 2004 and its 16 weapons and 7 vehicles. But maybe that's just it. Maybe Bungie is trying to put all of their eggs in one basket. They are, after all, including an editor and four-player co-op. It almost seems like they're trying to make the greatest game of all time. Yet here is where that falls short.

Most of the weapons (even the "new" ones) aren't groundbreaking. As a matter of fact, few of them are groundbreaking at all. Some even cross over with the same functionality as other weapons, thus creating just a shotgun with a different skin on the weapon. Everything else is pretty self-explanatory as well. Aim. Shoot. Kill. Rinse, lather, repeat. It's not like it has some other type of purpose or secondary fire of some sort.

And how about these vehicles? One of them comes from the scraps of the floor of content that never made it to Halo 2. Why even create more that serve the same function as others as well? What, for "story purposes?" I don't remember seeing the Wraith in Halo 1 multiplayer. And what about some of those map designs as well? They're some more recreations of old maps. Their newest bridge map is reminiscent of a small Gephyrophobia found on the Halo 1 PC version.

All I'm saying is is that despite the man power going into this game, it could very well end up like Halo 2. You know, just all about shooting things and getting into vehicles and riding around the map. Sure, it might be fun, but it's cheap entertainment. If I wanted cheap entertainment, I'd go watch Dare Devil, but since I'm not such a simpleton to be amused by baseless entertainment, I'm not "ooing" or "ahhing" about Halo 3's hype as well. I don't see anything ground breaking of any sort that hasn't already been done. Sorry folks, but four-player co-op is not new. Neither is an in-game editor that manipulates the map.

But I'm bound to get plenty of people to disagree, which I'm not surprised about at all. Halo is the new Final Fantasy, and, like Final Fantasy, not only will it bring numerous titles set in the same universe, but it will also bring its rabid fanboys that will zealously protect the game at all costs. Some where, right now, there is a person playing a game/posting on a forum/talking to a friend saying that "Halo sucks," and just as quick as lightning strikes, there's another person giving him the finger or telling him off. And he's not doing it for any good reason either; he's just doing it because a game he considers to be the best thing since sliced bread is being ridiculed. That's also why this game will sell like hotcakes. Even if all the weapon models were fruits and you played as feces, the game would still sell. Why? Because it's overrated.

But everyone knows that it's overrated. No one cares though. Even Halo fanboys will attest to the fact that Halo is indeed overrated, but they'll still pre-order the Legendary Edition of Halo 3. They'll still buy the Mountain Dew Halo 3 marketing products. They will also be there to line up at Wal-Mart to buy their Halo 3 shirts/pants/underwear/mugs/key chains/breath mints/socks/light up toys/bed spreads/shoes/nipple piercings/what ever.

And that's where it all falls down to. Marketing. Microsoft has a knack of seeing potential in Indie gaming companies and then ripping their souls out from their bodies. It's not exactly a secret as to how a good portion of the founding Bungie employees left after Halo 1 was released. Even then that wasn't a big enough sign for people to realize that Microsoft was only going to make Halo revolutionary based upon its sales, as they are already beginning to predict that it will set the record for an opening week in sales (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=170056). It is until that time that we, as gamers, come to realize where the future of this industry is going that we can actually make a difference by actually believing the game is over-rated.

But, sadly, we won't. We'll be wrapped up in wanting to "have fun" and not caring about where the future of this industry is going, especially since Halo 3 can effectively wipe out its competitors. Then, when the next generation of consoles comes out, we can all buy the Xbox540 for $600 and we won't complain, mainly because it will be the only console out on the market.

But I digress. I'll leave you with a thought though: What sort of games would we see in the market if we, as gamers, showed that cheap entertainment was so 1995 ago?

WST DTM/LE (law enforcement) model which had a solid stock and no pistol grip.

Something I copied from the bungie update to include in a halo wiki article. It's a model of the M90 shotgun.

:awesome::words:Wow. Just wow.
You can’t use the soundtracks or audio effects from the original game. We often license those from third parties and don’t have the rights to pass them on to you.Well guys, I was going to record a Burning Lap run from Burnout Revenge, but it looks like I can't because my video isn't allowed to use any of the music in the game. Also, I'll have to re-write my Halo 3 machinima into a silent movie, since I can't use any of the sound effects there either.

Also, I bet that was more of a scare tactic so they wouldn't lose out on sales of any sorts. I seriously doubt they're going to sue every person who plays a Halo soundtrack in their montages, or anything else to that degree.

The Nine Satanic Sins

These are similar to the seven sins within Christianity.
1.Stupidity
2.Pretentiousness
3.Solipsism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solipsism)
4.Self-deceit
5.Herd Conformity
6.Lack of Perspective
7.Forgetfulness of Past Orthodoxies
8.Counterproductive Pride
9.Lack of Aesthetics

The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth

Similar to the Christian ten commandments.
1. Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
3. When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
4. If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
5. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
6. Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.
7. Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
8. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
9. Do not harm little children.
10. Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
11. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.

Halo 2 Vista, Windows LIVE, and the greed that is Microsoft (http://agamemnon582bc.blogspot.com/2007/08/halo-2-vista-windows-live-and-greed.html)

It was on February 9th of 2006 that Bungie announced Halo 2 would be coming to the PC, and it was on February 12th of 2006 that I followed the game up until this very point. What at first became a hope of improvement from the console version later become more apparent that Halo 2 Vista was a window of opportunity for Microsoft.

Everyone, of course, remembers the first port. How can we forget; after all, it featured online play, new maps, vehicles, weapons, and a map editing kit. It was more then what the console version could ever offer, and even to this day people are still exploring the opportunities at modding the game. The modding community was hopeful that we could go down the same road with Halo 2 Vista, though, as I said, by November of 2006, we got a deep sinking feeling in the pit of our stomachs that Microsoft wasn't really keen on the idea on editing original game content, especially with the recent stunt they just pulled (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/developer/rules.htm). The game's potential was flushed down the toilet and so went effort with it as well.

Instead of getting something over then the console version of Halo 2, we didn't. We got a copy and paste of the console version EXACTLY. The selection screen buttons still even said "Press X to continue." Instead, the game was a fluke attempt to offer something exclusive for new Vista users, also, at the same time, promoting their console version of online play.

Now, Microsoft wouldn't do such a thing unless they thought we were overtly simpletons who would eat anything they touched like cake, and because they did this, then that's exactly their mentality. There was ZERO effort for them to mandate content over to Bungie and then to Hired Gun in order to bring something more then just two lousy maps. There wasn't. It just seemed like they figured the kids ate it up like candy on the console version that they would also eat it up like candy on the PC as well. Yet there was one fatal mistake in that train of thought in their department, and it's called incentive.

While Halo 2 Vista was NOT a marketing opportunity to generate more sales for the new Vista operating system (as I am still a firm believer that 12-year-olds don't buy $200 - $400 operating systems), it was an opportunity to put a friendly-sticker on their first steps on moving their plans to capitalize the PC gaming industry. They did, after all, bring along Xbox LIVE onto Windows, and they also brought along their hugest console-online success to accompany it as well. Of course, if I was in the marketing department in Microsoft, I would think the idea was gold too. What they weren't anticipating on, it seems, was for people to not only buy Gold membership, but to also not buy the game at all.

There was generally zero hype built around it. The only people that generally cared about the production in the early stages were mappers, coders, and modders from Halo 1 PC. Even as the release date approached later, Bungie decided that it no longer existed; there is no Halo 2 Vista page, there were no more news updates, and they took a strict policy in saying that since they weren't involved with Halo 2 Vista production that they had no incentive to give it any attention [1 (http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=10351624&postRepeater1-p=1#10353070)]. That worked out beautifully though when later weekly updates were about Shadowrun (http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=shadowruninterview), and, as we all know, Bungie was practically developing the game themselves.

Sarcasm aside though, it was apparent that even Bungie didn't really care at all about the PC port. Hell, the few developers who were working for Hired Gun didn't either (There are still a few (http://www.h2vista.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3896) who do feel like they can help out by helping out with people's technical problems with Halo 2 Vista.). So I guess it was really no surprise as to how much of a disaster Halo 2 Vista turned out to be. I mean, what, with about 50 or 60 people playing the game, I'm sure that's just screaming success. There is at least some hope (http://alkyproject.blogspot.com/) in this department though. What there shouldn't be any hope of improvement or success is for Windows LIVE.

Microsoft doesn't seem to get it. They think Live is something new. An online system that allows you to easily communicate with your friends and join games with them and send messages to; where have I heard that before on the PC? Oh, yeah. I think they call it Gamespy Arcade (http://www.gamespyarcade.com/)? Yeah, that's only been around since 2000. Xfire (http://www.xfire.com/) is much worse off though. It's only been around since 2004 and besides it being completely free, you can also send files to your friends and supports groups/clans as well. Hell, it supports just about every game there is. Yeah, you should definitely pay for a service like Windows LIVE to only utilize the service for games that use Windows LIVE.

I don't think I really have to spell it out for you, but for those of you who have missed the point up until now, then here it is. Microsoft takes us, the gamers, their now good portion of a contribution to their monopoly success, as inept children. All you have to do is take a look at this whole nonsense about Halo 2 Vista, Windows LIVE, and Vista itself, and if you can't see that, then Microsoft is thankful, because you're exactly their target customers. And they treat their customers well--just as well as EA does.

No, you fail. Aga is right; all of the Internode servers are modded to display the path of the damage that killed you (be it delivered by bullet or otherwise) once you do go down. I've never cheated in a game and I don't plan to start now.

Church Map File (60MB) (http://www.earthenrecords.com/church/church.zip)


Disclaimer

The Halo engine is pretty old now and was never really designed to do this amount of stuff all at the same time, so this map will run a lot slower than others. For decent fps with everything on at 1280x1024, you'll probably need a 6800 / X800 and an equally decent processor. Almost all of the map file is textures, so if you have an old 64MB gfx card or lower, you may need to turn down the texture quality.

Map Overview

The layout of the map is deceptively simple; two floors of the main room, a basement and the team flag rooms. But it is the way these areas are linked that can lead to a huge number of gameplay possibilities. The most obvious example of this is the top floor balcony, where the player can leap over the railing and down to the bottom floor at any time. Running around on the open floor there is highly dangerous, but it's where the two most powerful weapons, the pistol and rocket launcher, are placed. Grabbing these weapons will obviously help you immensely, but everyone in the room will know you're doing it. The pews and altar may offer some limited protection, but it is the covered perimeter of the ground floor that is the safest place on the entire map. The only weapons there are extra grenades and the plasma pistol (whose overcharge shot will be excellent for these straight, narrow sections), but it's also the easiest way to sneak across the room. To get back up to the top floor, there are ladders situated at the mid-point of both sides of the room.

The top floor offers protection from ahead and behind by the pillars and wall indentations. The pillars can also protect you from being attacked across the room, though positioning yourself like that will leave you open to the other directions. The assault rifle and plasma rifle can be found up here, a useful combination given the area's sideways confinement. You'll also find the needlers incredibly useful for blasting people braving the open floor below. The flamethrower is placed at the mid-point and will be devastating to anyone on the ladders. It will also be useful in the cramped tunnels, if you're willing to sacrifice another weapon to take it there. It's not possible to cross the main room width-ways along the blue side balcony, but this is balanced by the closer proximity of the rocket launcher. The teleporter to the red base is also a mixed blessing, since anyone can get in and out very quickly, but only on the ground floor, whereas the blue team has four entrances to the main room; two on each level. The final aspect of the main room are the two teleporters next to the ladders. Entering these will take you to the basement.

The basement can be a treacherous place and it takes longer to move through here than it does in the room above. But with some luck and skill it can be the best option to steal the flag or gain lots of kills. The sniper rifle is here, right at the end of the chute from the teleporters above. If you are able to take it to the balcony of the main room where it will be most useful, you can dominate until you need more ammo. This raised area is extremely confined, so be wary you don't get caught in there. From this position you can see what's happening in the rooms below, but you won't be able to do anything about it, since you can't shoot through the tight mesh. Note the coloured signal gems and use them to guide you the correct way. The three lower rooms offer a simple fighting area, with nothing in the way of weapons, except extra grenades. If you're in a tight spot, falling into the pool offers an escape, but pray your luck holds out, because you'll take damage and then land in the most dangerous part of the map. The four tunnels that lead off from the basement take you to special teleporters that eventually lead to the flag rooms. This is the main reason the basement route is so treacherous: you'll have to run through some extremely narrow tunnels to get through and the people coming down will be more appropriately armed for this.

Both bases have shotguns in them. Useless for the wide open main room, but lethal in the close-quarter tunnels. Here the teams differ again. The blue room has one single, wide tunnel that splits off halfway down. The red room has two distinct tunnels, one at each of the rear corners of the room. You'll also find the first aid kits here and a number of grenades. When the flag is stolen, the intricacy of the layout really comes into play through communication and teamwork. While there are a number of routes back, a well informed defence can effectively cut off the flag carrier from multiple points. Scoring on a 16 player CTF game is difficult, so the offense must be equally aware in order to be successful.

There is also full support for Oddball, King Of The Hill and Race. I've put quite a bit of thought into these gametypes and you'll find the layout causes just as much opportunity and conflict as the usual Slayer and CTF games.

-----

Finally, a huge thanks to David Gurrea and his free texture site, http://www.davegh.com/, a large number of the textures used in the map originally came from there. Without him, the map would've taken a lot longer to complete and wouldn't have a consistent style.

It was on February 9th of 2006 that Bungie announced Halo 2 would be coming to the PC, and it was on February 12th of 2006 that I followed the game up until this very point. What at first became a hope of improvement from the console version later become more apparent that Halo 2 Vista was a window of opportunity for Microsoft.

Everyone, of course, remembers the first port. How can we forget; after all, it featured online play, new maps, vehicles, weapons, and a map editing kit. It was more then what the console version could ever offer, and even to this day people are still exploring the opportunities at modding the game. The modding community was hopeful that we could go down the same road with Halo 2 Vista, though, as I said, by November of 2006, we got a deep sinking feeling in the pit of our stomachs that Microsoft wasn't really keen on the idea on editing original game content, especially with the recent stunt they just pulled (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/developer/rules.htm). The game's potential was flushed down the toilet and so went effort with it as well.

Instead of getting something over then the console version of Halo 2, we didn't. We got a copy and paste of the console version EXACTLY. The selection screen buttons still even said "Press X to continue." Instead, the game was a fluke attempt to offer something exclusive for new Vista users, also, at the same time, promoting their console version of online play.

Now, Microsoft wouldn't do such a thing unless they thought we were overtly simpletons who would eat anything they touched like cake, and because they did this, then that's exactly their mentality. There was ZERO effort for them to mandate content over to Bungie and then to Hired Gun in order to bring something more then just two lousy maps. There wasn't. It just seemed like they figured the kids ate it up like candy on the console version that they would also eat it up like candy on the PC as well. Yet there was one fatal mistake in that train of thought in their department, and it's called incentive.

While Halo 2 Vista was NOT a marketing opportunity to generate more sales for the new Vista operating system (as I am still a firm believer that 12-year-olds don't buy $200 - $400 operating systems), it was an opportunity to put a friendly-sticker on their first steps on moving their plans to capitalize the PC gaming industry. They did, after all, bring along Xbox LIVE onto Windows, and they also brought along their hugest console-online success to accompany it as well. Of course, if I was in the marketing department in Microsoft, I would think the idea was gold too. What they weren't anticipating on, it seems, was for people to not only buy Gold membership, but to also not buy the game at all.

There was generally zero hype built around it. The only people that generally cared about the production in the early stages were mappers, coders, and modders from Halo 1 PC. Even as the release date approached later, Bungie decided that it no longer existed; there is no Halo 2 Vista page, there were no more news updates, and they took a strict policy in saying that since they weren't involved with Halo 2 Vista production that they had no incentive to give it any attention [1 (http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=10351624&postRepeater1-p=1#10353070)]. That worked out beautifully though when later weekly updates were about Shadowrun (http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=shadowruninterview), and, as we all know, Bungie was practically developing the game themselves.

Sarcasm aside though, it was apparent that even Bungie didn't really care at all about the PC port. Hell, the few developers who were working for Hired Gun didn't either (There are still a few (http://www.h2vista.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3896) who do feel like they can help out by helping out with people's technical problems with Halo 2 Vista.). So I guess it was really no surprise as to how much of a disaster Halo 2 Vista turned out to be. I mean, what, with about 50 or 60 people playing the game, I'm sure that's just screaming success. There is at least some hope (http://alkyproject.blogspot.com/) in this department though. What there shouldn't be any hope of improvement or success is for Windows LIVE.

Microsoft doesn't seem to get it. They think Live is something new. An online system that allows you to easily communicate with your friends and join games with them and send messages to; where have I heard that before on the PC? Oh, yeah. I think they call it Gamespy Arcade (http://www.gamespyarcade.com/)? Yeah, that's only been around since 2000. Xfire (http://www.xfire.com/) is much worse off though. It's only been around since 2004 and besides it being completely free, you can also send files to your friends and supports groups/clans as well. Hell, it supports just about every game there is. Yeah, you should definitely pay for a service like Windows LIVE to only utilize the service for games that use Windows LIVE.

I don't think I really have to spell it out for you, but for those of you who have missed the point up until now, then here it is. Microsoft takes us, the gamers, their now good portion of a contribution to their monopoly success, as inept children. All you have to do is take a look at this whole nonsense about Halo 2 Vista, Windows LIVE, and Vista itself, and if you can't see that, then Microsoft is thankful, because you're exactly their target customers. And they treat their customers well--just as well as EA does.

Only in the later years of the 1600s (in Maryland and Virginia) did Black slavery begin to become popular.
iv. Maryland’s statute, the Act of Toleration, guaranteed religious toleration to all Christians, but decreed the death penalty to Jews and atheists and others who didn’t believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ.

This is so evilly awesome :awesome:


Superbouncing is fixed (to our knowledge.)

Standbying and bridging is a harder problem to solve. There's no code we can put in the game that prevents someone from unplugging their network cable or playing tricks with their router. There are, however, things we've done to make those activities unprofitable in reasonably short order. The main thing is that the game just understands how good of a host you are. If you "accidentally" standby or drop players every game, you won't be hosting very often (or ever again, past a threshhold. What a waste of that nice 3mb DSL line, eh?)

And since we're an ironic bunch, at some point you may find yourself matching up against people with similar hosting "problems". Exclusively.

In any event, we'll see how well it works over the first few months in the real world. Cheaters beware
