Ever play against a General in matchmaking and get out BR'd every time?
Do they somehow defy the confines and laws of the game?
Do you find yourself about to kill one when they pull out their sniper and headshot you?
Do Generals have special powers? Not quite...
I sat down with my good friend, [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Halo3/Default.aspx?player=Father786]Father786[/url] (a General, I might add) and asked him how he suddenly became a beast at this game when he got his "wreathe-and-two-stars". I assumed that he was good at Halo 3 because of his "skill". Boy was I wrong...
It turns out that the reason Generals are so good is because they use the "GENERAL" control layout. When Father told me this, I did not believe him. Using his General powers, he let me get a look at this truly schweet control layout. This control layout can be viewed [url=http://teamdbx.com/pictures/button_layout_general.jpg]here.[/url] He informed me that this control scheme unlocks when you reach the level of "General".
Father told me to NEVER tell anyone about this control layout, because then people would judge the Generals of Halo 3. He said people would make biased statements about this control scheme. I respectfully disagree. I told him that the people of Bungie.net didn't judge people based on rank, and that most players had the utmost respect for those good enough to get to General.
So now you know the truth behind the everyday General's so called "skill".

If you read this far and believe I was serious in any manner, doom on you (This was a joke).
The button layout was photoshopped by me.
The picture I used [url=http://teamdbx.com/pictures/buttonlayoutdefault.jpg]looked like this[/url]

This freaking awesome picture came to be when my friend in RL, [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Halo3/Default.aspx?player=Corsair314]Corsair314[/url], and I were talking about button layouts and times we got raped in Halo 3. I suggested they were using a special button layout, and we got a few laughs. The next day, he comes to Chemistry class with [url=http://teamdbx.com/pictures/General-Concept.jpg]this[/url] concept on the back of a homework calendar (Yeah, I know it is hard to read). I suggested that it was a wonderful idea, and told him I could photoshop it and make it look real. He was 'very excite'. That's the story, and here we are...
A special thanks go out to my friend Corsair314 for all his great ideas...
Because I am releasing the template for the button layouts, I wanted to let you know I created a group for everyone to post their button layouts and discuss how awesome the original ones are...

Actually, when we were thinking of Shishka ideas, we Googled his name and in the early layout we considered adding a button, Become non-Jewish woman, which was the meaning of Shishka... lol
-
what font do you use?
-
I'm saving this thread.
-
this is what the forum should be used for: laughs
-
hahaha thats really funny good post
-
I cried a little from laughing lol
-
Im sad to see this end, but the legend will continue in the group. Shishka by far was the best. Superintendant wasnt funny, but it was skillfully made... Good job Cheat, I will now stab oo in teh backzors...
-
your emblem is the same as mine! I've had it since launch. Delta unite!
-
SHISHKA is now my new favorite.
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Cpt LegendArian What the hell? Since when would Shishka use the Un-Ban function? His entire self is repelled from that button, so it would be impossible to use. [/quote] That's why it's in small lowercase letters.

This has nothing to do with this thread, but I wanted to say it anyway. I was just at a varsity scholar bowl meet, and we were getting destroyed. Then, this question came up: "In popular culture, what century contained the start of the war between the Covenant and hum-" It's cut off because I buzzed in and answered correctly, the 26th century. I about died. I have been waiting for a Halo question for so long. Today of all days, too. We are going to be having a Halo party tonight. Glad everyone likes the Shishka layout, and if there is some arguement over 'Un-Ban', it was my idea, so hate me.
-
I remember this thread! F*ing awesome additions, man! Love the 'Norris' 'Roundhouse kick, roundhouse kick, roundhouse kick...' Shishka was awesome, too. 'Force Choke'... these are 100% win!

I am glad that everyone likes the Shishka layout...[/quote] I noticed that too, but still...Shishka would never use it, even if it was his own self.

That was EPIC. OP FTW

[/quote] Hehe, that's why it's smaller :). I thought the same thing. Still, when I first saw this thread there was only one controller setting. Now all these? Epic win my friends, epic win.
