X3F Live: Maybe Next Time Buddy

by Dustin Burg { Mar 5th 2008 at 1:00PM }

I've put it off for way too long, I've procrastinated a bit too much, but tonight I'm going for it. With your help of course. Tonight at 9:30PM eastern (6:30PM pacific) I hope you'll join me as I make my way onto Xbox Live, play some Rumble Pit Halo 3 and finally try and earn my final Halo 3 achievement ... Maybe Next Time Buddy.

I'll need a few dedicated fanboys to join me in my adventure as we'll veto our way through Rumble Pit in an effort to get a vehicle equipped multiplayer map to appear (I believe Snowbound is the only option). It'll be rough as one cannot be sure when the correct map will appear, but we'll be diligent in our quest for Maybe Next Time Buddy glory. Shoot me a friend request (SuperDunners) and hop into my Halo 3 party tonight at 9:30PM eastern when this Maybe Next Time Buddy edition of X3F Live goes down.

Also, due to there being only one of me and only ~~seven~~ five other slots in the Rumble Pit party, we could possibly setup other Maybe Next Time Buddy achievement parties. If you're interested in hosting a Rumble Pit match whose goal is to earn this coveted Halo 3 achievement, simply comment below with your Gamertag, what time you'll be hosting and I'll update this post with the information. We'll make this the biggest, baddest and most successful Maybe Next Time Buddy achievement unlocking night EVAR! W00t!

finally!!!! I already have all the sweet CHEEVOS for Halo 3, but I'm in to help if you can't find enough people for the event (i'm sure it won't be a problem).

Congrats in advance. :)

Dustin I don't play but I got a buddy that visits this site regulary and is ranked like number 1 in Halo. He had said a month ago or so he wanted to play with you anyways so I'll send you his gamertag in a message.
I don't care for Halo but this guy is crazy at it.

Raheem @ Mar 5th 2008 1:18PM

I'll add ya..

JBurton90 @ Mar 5th 2008 1:23PM

Dont you have to play RANKED FFA games to get it?

john.hazukisan @ Mar 5th 2008 1:25PM

Erm, isn't it Ranked only? So no parties allowed?

FiredCylinder @ Mar 5th 2008 1:29PM

JBurton: this is one of the few that you don't need to be in ranked to get it. Despite my repeated pleas with my regular teammates to help me get it (even a few that I helped to get it), I can never find anyone willing to help me get it. If for some reason I can't get into Dustin's party, would anyone else be willing to help me get it?

Also, Dustin, there are only six slots in rumble pit, so it's gonna be tighter than you think.

DeceasedFriend @ Mar 5th 2008 1:38PM

Can't tonight sorry.
But if this doesn't work out just do what I did, camp by the shield doors and hope for a stupid guest to board it instead of killing you, thus getting stuck in that area by the shotgun spawn.
*achievement unlocked*
Then again, you have been trying for a long time so you've probably already tried that...

I had all but given up on getting the remaining 35 pts out of Halo 3 but with Dustin's help maybe just maybe I can inch 5pts closer!

nmg82 @ Mar 5th 2008 1:41PM

Dustin and FiredCylinder, I sent you a friends request. I'm up for getting this out of the way as I need it too. I'll look for you at around 9:30 EST. my gamertag is nmg82 if anybody wants join in. Thanks, looking forward to it.

Dustin Burg @ Mar 5th 2008 1:51PM

Darnit! You're correct, there are only six slots open for rumble pit. If there is a demand for it, anyone willing to start another part of some Maybe Next Time Buddy funnery? Also, this is one of the only FFA achievements that can be earned in Rumble Pit unlike the others. See you all tonight!

DjDATZ @ Mar 5th 2008 2:08PM

You shoulda told me a little earlier about this...I forgot to bring my Haloz with me to rez this week... :( Damn...so much good stuff to play, just haven't had time for Haloz... :(

Van @ Mar 5th 2008 2:13PM

This achievement is really easy to get on your own. Sad that X3F is being used for this... but hey! good luck anyway!

Dustin Burg @ Mar 5th 2008 2:15PM

It isn't sad, we're like a tight knit family here at X3F and earning an achievement together ... well, makes our community stronger :) Also, my friend's list is getting full ... just an FYI.

ZEBRA NINER @ Mar 5th 2008 2:26PM

This is just a great idea. X3F SHOULD have more community nights! If it's CHEEVO whoring that brings us together, then so be it!

ZenGaijin @ Mar 5th 2008 2:38PM

I got this achievement legit on snowbound with a sheild door blocking his fire and another person distracting the driver.

Jared Miller @ Mar 5th 2008 3:09PM

I'll be on sometime between 10pm and 11pm PST. Gamertag: djyareed.

R0B3RT @ Mar 5th 2008 3:40PM

Philip @ Mar 5th 2008 4:00PM

Jenag @ Mar 5th 2008 8:36PM

dustin im already in your friends list, but ill hop on and help out with it tonight too, and you can help me get mine, seeing as i dont have either.

FiredCylinder @ Mar 5th 2008 10:00PM

Thanks to all who helped me get it, and congrats to all who got it.

Dustin: shame I didn't get a chance to help you (or play against you in the inevitable FFA after the achievements were recieved).

ZEBRA NINER @ Mar 5th 2008 10:14PM

w00t!!!! Taste the sweet ch33vZ!

nmg82 @ Mar 6th 2008 10:34AM

Guys, sorry i had to bail out early. Some things came up I had to take care of. Glad you all were able to get it. I'll keep everyone on my friends list, and if we ever get together again, maybe I'll actually be able to finish it out with you all. Thanks for setting this up Dustin. We should do it again soon...
