Mute everyone or suck it up, dude.
Fuck no. I'm not going to have you tell me to suck it up. 99.999% of Halo 3 players online acting like complete uncivilized fucking retards, and I am going to complain about it. If some racist 12-year old is too fucking stupid to play anything but Slayer, I shouldn't have to hear his womanly voice screaming at me to veto, because it's my choice not his. So I'll mute him. And I'll also bitch about it. Problem?

Woh, calm down. People have the right to express what gametype they want to play. Mute them if they are extremely annoying.

Sure they do. I also have the right to complain on my friendly local message board without being told to "suck it up" about the people screaming "OH MY GOD ITS NOT SLAYER VETO VETO FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK WHAT ARE YOU DOING IDIOTS VETOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" in the pre-game lobby.

87% of these screaming kids are Canadian. On a scale of 1-10, how upset does this fact make you?

you're doing that now, just on gaf
I'm not sure why the daily bitching about ranks and spawns is just okey-dokey with everybody, but the second I complain about screaming idiots on XBL everyone gets all worked up, BUT whatever.

What the hell is Sony?? :D

When you get it send a friend request to GAF Halo 3, and me.

Ranks and Spawns deal with H3. Idiots on XBL stems from the problem that the world is filled with cookie cut morons.

Sure, but ranks and spawns are a problem in most games, as with idiots screaming in the lobbies. And if someone mentions it, I think I should be able to share my opinion on it without being told to "suck it up."

Sure thing!
Well hey, good luck, I hope you enjoy it, and I'm sure if you stick around you'll get into some GAF games as well.

I had a game earlier today.

VIP Sandtrap Covies

When the gametype loaded up, no one complained. A few people vetoed. When it was accepted, someone on our team said, "Good luck, Blue." A guy on the other side said, "You too, Red."

We won. In the post game lobby, several people said, "Good game!"

Probably 1/3 of my games are like that. In most games, there's just one or two people yelling, and I mute'm instantly. Then they sound like this one. Civil, with nary a mention of testicles or racial/sexual preferences.

In the interest of a contrary viewpoint of Halo 3 online experience.
 
the disgruntled gamer said:
I played games like that regularly. In the beta. In the F&F days.

Personal anecdotes for the win, I guess.
Most games there's at least one douchebag in the lobby. I guess my main point was, muting one or two jerks makes things a lot more pleasant very quickly. So it's not something I complain about much since it's so easy to address now.

Oh sure, it's super easy to mute people via the asshole button, etc etc. It's just not something I understand. Why would you get so worked up about the possibility of playing CTF that you would just scream like a madman into a microphone at complete strangers?

It's not something I complain about often, which is why I was surprised to be told to suck it up. BUT as long as someone had brought up screaming at people to veto (or not), I decided to let everyone know of my death wishes for the screamers.

If you're new to the Halo games, you might want to catch up on the story. Some places to do so are in the second post of the thread, under story recap.

Check the "Community Resources" section of the OP for some handy sites and guides. Don't be afraid to ask questions, and we'd all apprecite your thoughts going through the game for the first time. Impressions from new folks are often lead to observations some of us oldies have forgotten or even missed.

If you want to play matchmaking, make sure you download the four free maps: Cold Storage, and then the Heroic Map Pack from XBL Markeplace.

And welcome. :D

Look at his social status. Why dun the whiny kid play on his regular account and suck it up. You can't level up, big deal, take a chill pill and play for fun. He's never heard of fun in his whole life i bet. No need for some dumb second account lulz

Your posts just have a knife edge of fury behind them that makes people uneasy I guess.

Because they're assholes. I mean, I don't get it either. I'm just glad there's a button specifically designed just for them.

Yes. It is once again worth noting how convenient it is to mute people in Halo 3, especially compared to Halo 2, where I think you had to pause the game and search through the menu or something. I need to play Halo 2 again, I keep getting all nostalgic. One of these days, we should have a GAF Halo 2 game night.

Yeah, I don't understand it either. It could've been the bleeding to death part, who knows.
 
Did we ever hear back about the state of XBL/Halo 3 networking currently? It seems a lot of people were reporting bad lag on here, and we just had a run of unplayable games.

It's been brought up repeatedly, as far as I know no one has officially said anything about it. The past several weeks it's gone from being rock solid to almost constant problems.
 
was playing the last bit of Tsavo Highway (where you fight a bunch of choppers and wraiths) with 3 other buddies, and we had 2 jeeps with fuel rodders, and gunners, and 2 choppers, and it was a blast, even though we had to restart like 50 times cause we had the Iron skull on. Halo 3 needs more of those kinds of levels :(

Good work Ghaleon I am glad someone was here to make sure the new kid wasn't scared away by TDG ;P

Participating in a modded custom game? Excitement.

I don't get why people get a boner out of hitting those Spartans/Elites.

Nothing's 'modded' about any of those maps. It's a simple character model copying glitch.

I can create Construct w/o the lifts, same goes with Epitaph w/o shield doors, and Snowbound. And all it takes is one of Halo 3's equipment.

And yeah, they can be fun, especially if you want to use the Sniper to get no-scopes and make yourself feel better about your sniping abilities.

don't laugh at me :(
 
I've seen the copy machine map. I don't consider that modding or anything. I also did the trip mine setup on Snowbound to disable the shield doors and turrets. But I didn't do it properly to save, unless it cannot be saved at all.

Those are fine to do if you're bored, but the black/white Spartans and Elites thing never striked me as fun to mess with. Rather shoot modders in Halo 2 at Terminal.

The one we were playing on had invisible walls.

actually there's a saved version of snowbound that's playable without the shield doors. it's pretty cool

I just played Halo 3 in my underwear because I couldn't sleep. Now I am listening to Mogwai in the dark. There is no way up from here.

Dream of me, my Irish Prince.
 
Without shield doors Snowbound would just be Isolation part 2! Where's the fun, the spice, the variety!?

We need more shield doors with more maulers. Also increase the spread of the BR in AU2 please. AR needs to do more damage.

can we get more spikers in corners of the maps thank you. plasma rifle starts also too
 
spermatic cord said:

I agree plasma rifle starts worked wonders on Midship in H2, the BR's and sword on that level weren't overpowered at all.
 
Snowbound would probably be neat without shield doors. It won't happen, and it would look weird, but still.

To be honest, the only real weapon changes I'm looking for in AU2 is an AR nerf. I wouldn't make angry videos (or even angry posts) if it didn't happen, but I think it would definitely be a good change.
