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...

This is now one of my favorite posts. Awesome stuff!

awsome button layouts. i think ill go with SHISHKA

Aw, I just cried. Cheat, honor to help with this. I enjoyed doing this more than I ever could by doing equilibrium constant equations in Chem. Just remember boys and girls, products over reactants. A thanks goes out to Mrs. Richardson for making class boring enough to get some of these done. Thanks to Father786 for his constant support and ideas. Generalhudson was kind enough to give a laugh, even at our failures *Cough COD4 cough*. Thanks to every single person who has posted here, and a wag of the finger to those who have read and [i]not[/i] posted. Tsk tsk. Lastly, thanks to the anonymus guy from the anonymus forum who ripped us off. We hate you, and if you steal this last layout, we will find you and eat your liver with a side of fava beans... Bungie, thank you for making the greatest trilogy of all time. I mean it from the bottom of my heart when I say that both of the grade levels that my grades dropped the few months after September 25, 2007 were worth it. Happy Halloween, ladies and gents.

lol really funny props to you, mean its probably tru for some other people

Finish line in sight! Guys, thank you for all of your comments and ideas. I want to say thanks to my buddy Corsair314 for getting me motivated enough to actually make and post these. Thanks to Iron Man037 for his idea for the final layout. Before we begin, lets all just pretend that the COD4 layout never happened; it was all a bad dream. Enjoy: People have often wondered exactly how Bungie's ban/administration/moderation system worked. Most assume it is because of trivial pieces of information such as working for Bungie or othe nonsense... The 7ruth is they are using a different button layout. Using the only weakness known to Bungie Employees, deep-fried sweet & sour chicken, I was able to slip away with this elusive control scheme. Try not to look directly at it for long periods of time, as such a concentration of power will burn out your eyes... [url=http://teamdbx.com/pictures/button_layout_shishka.jpg]

Welcome back, button layouts. I missed you. My friends, myself and Cheat, well, mostly Cheat (ok, 99% Cheat) have finished the last one and you can expect it up either today or tomorrow. We think that it will be a very, very fitting end to what I think is a great thread. We hope you enjoyed it, please be anxious about the last one, because it is guarenteed to bend you over and ... well, you know. Please try to keep teh threadzorzs alive after the final post. Thank you, and very fittingly for Halloween, good night and good luck.
