Nah just kidding. Maybe check the broadbandreports.com forums for your ISP? People usually post if they're also having issues there.

You probably would have gotten a letter about this but are you in a location where TWC started the "testing" of tiered internet. I believe after a certain amount of data they drop you to like the lowest broadband setting.

Anyways I hated on TWC for awhile until I got my new router and modem and free speed upgrade. I'm still at a shitty 10MB down/100KB up but its better than nothing, at least I don't get "disconnected" anymore. Even though people here didn't seem to believe it was actually happening (Unless you've played with me)

Still after all that, Fuck TWC, I'd switch to FioS if it was here in a second.

This is me now:
 
damn neoism...you should call and complain...mine was shitty too and it turned out there was a bad cable coming into my house. It got repaired and my internet speed ballooned...

Hey I'm usually not around for customs, but I am tonight. I'm on the GAFhalo3 GT- I'll send an invite to someone. My GT is Laszlo...- Vhfive- I sent you a message asking for an invite if you guys gotta extra spot, if not- no worries.

I think I received a FR from you a while back and denied it.

sorry :lol

Make sure you say your from GAF if you send friend requests because a lot of people here delete those that seem random.


Happy customing, fellas.
 
I just had a goodtime playing some Halo 2.

They need to unlock Team Slayer and make DLC stuff optional for H3 as well as release some classic H1/H2 Maps. Get on it Bungie! Maybe for ODST. :(
 
I've been really thinking about re-downloading the Halo 2 maps again (mainly because the ones I have now seem to be corrupted from the transfer), and with that said I strongly believe that we should have a Halo 2 night. How about Friday?

If it just says Failed to load occasionally they aren't corrupted, happens to me A LOT.

But yea I'm definitely up for H2 that game is amazing.

Jesus Halo 3 just depresses the fuck out of me. It could be so much more. Bungie let me do the playlists please.

Off to play some other games. Lost interest in this shitfest.

halo 3 odst friday
lets do it

Yeah, let's do that instead. We can have 4 people wandering around a sandbox "city" with the towers blocked off. The 12 other will be the covenant patrol.

Am i a genius or what?

Sweet. Having never played Halo 2 online, this should be great. I'll probably borrow a copy from a friend. The maps are free now, right?

wow you've never played Halo 2 online? whoa, ok you're in for a treat...we gotta play some MLG maps too, I'm gonna make the gametypes...we'll play when the party eventually dies down to 8...
 
You guys need to seperate your saturday customs into two groups. Watching Tashi's stream, it was pretty obviously there was some serious lag going on and disagreements about what to play, what not to play, etc.

Just have two groups of 8 so you can get some solid 4v4 going that suit the majority of everyone's Sandbox variants. And if you ever need testing on Sandbox BTB maps like Ghaleon's, you can just merge the party just like that.
 
Good games tonight. We've got a great set of maps to rotate through now, with new ones coming in each week.

I'm finally satisfied with Entrenched. The vehicle/infantry balance was much better, and the fighting around the center and flag much more interesting and protracted. Next few times we get 6v6 going I'll save the films for squad battle submission.

Made a bunch of tweaks to Sandstorm and Elevation based of the game we played on each of them. For Sandstorm they mostly involved making power weapons spawn much less often and with less ammo (rockets every two minutes, with no spare clips, for example). Also, camo is up to two minutes, not the default 30 seconds. I swear I changed it, but apparently not. I also moved the Ghost up to the top level to spread the vehicles around a bit more. And then there's the discovery that one team had vehicles respawing every 120 seconds, and one every 90 seconds. The team that had the faster respawns won. Go figure. Whoops. Fxd.
they would have won anyways

For Elevation, someone suggested a way into the base directly from the second floor, rather than just the bridges on the sides. So I added a permanent grav lift on the second level of the base to get up into the top level from the hole in the floor. That map is never going to be a great one, but might as well tweak it so it flows as good as it can with the structure it has. Thanks for the feedback.

The Eazy nerf was a success I see :D

Think I'll call and to get my xbox fixed this week, don't want to miss too many more custom games :P
 
So I read the update, I know I'm late to these things always. Anyways, it seems like there was lots of words, but I couldn't put together any meaning from them. I did see a cool picture of a monstar on Sandtrap though! that was awesome.

Wheres the beef?

Aye, much better. Not having the laser firing down from the hill took a big a big problem out, and vehicles lasted longer but weren't overpowering. The added cover/surface area in the center and flag platform made for some much longer fights, and helped get the flag out a bit easier.

I'll be sure to use the full title when I submit it. Credit where it's due and all. :p

Also, I just this week discovered that the Chopper fires faster if you pulse the trigger quickly. A year and a half LTTP, but neato.
 
What's going on with vhfive's map regarding submission to atlas..

Last I heard it was rejected because of a "show stopper" but Shishka allowed a re-submission.
