O no I used to YY and shit but just to check I started reloading completely clean with no more button presses and the thing will literally reload once, show reloaded, lose a bullet, then reload again. The double reload glitch is DEFINITELY a thing, I ain't making this shit up. Although I've never had the triple reload that SUCKS lol.

I'm SURE if you really look for it it will happen to you. I've posted a video before I was on avalanche and I needed to reload rockets twice, but I could post a few more. Itknow it happened to me on Stream on Justin.tv because I know I remember shouting fuck double reload glitch. I could probably go back in the archives and find it.

Yea, it's definately a glitch. I happens a lot with rockets and can really screw you over in some situations. This was talked about a lot when Halo 3 first came out. There are videos showing the glitch on Youtube somewhere. Nothing game-breaking as it doesn't happen very often (to me), but when it does happen, it can really piss you off.
 
Yea the double reload glitch is a real pain in the ass. It happens almost every match but usually only with Sniper or Rockets. More so with rockets, to the point where I reload rockets and make sure that shit reloaded properly.

I'm trying to think why my Sniper would "jam" like the way it is. It's almost like there's a time frame in which input from my right trigger is not read. That's just fuckin ridiculous though. I'll capture the film today.

Edit: I don't think the double reload lag related because I've seen it happen to MLG players at the events.

Kinda looks like they hit Y or B (definitely Y after the first reload, you can see the BR show up for a sec, not sure about the second) - not long enough the second time to show the animation, but enough to restart the reload.

Or maybe it's just totally busted and Bungie needs to fix their shit.

The double-reload glitch is a well known bug (well I guess it isn't as well known as I thought if you didn't know about it :P). It most often occurs with rockets, but can occur with any other weapon.

Jironmo still has a video of it in his file share from over a year ago demonstrating how the glitch usually happens at the worst possible times.

Oddly enough, urk was the first person that I heard use the term 'Bungle' back in 2007. I thought he came up with it.

I was in Halo 2's unranked FFA playlist and we got Backwash. That's when I first heard the name. A guy goes "What's up with all this bungle.net shit?" referring to many of the guys' Bungie.Net logos beside our gamertags. So it's been around well before '07 and before the time I heard it, I'm sure.

Heh - I've certainly EXPERIENCED unwanted reloads... but I always just assumed it's because I hit a button that started the process over again at the wrong time. (I do that a LOT. :D )

I don't do that much, but lately I've had issues accidentally going into scope. I think it's partly because my controller is getting old and the 'click' happens a lot easier now. But I tend to push too hard to turn toward enemies, and go into BR scope. So I'll hit it again to get out, but since the guy shooting at me knocked me out of scope, I've just gone back in. Sometimes I repeat that a couple times before being dropped.

Either I need to relax and not grip the controller so tight, or the stick is getting loose. Maybe both. :lol

Hello, I just got a 360. I borrowed this game from a friend but can't play the campaign as the disc is scratched.

The problem is I can't get the matchmaking to work for me. I don't seem to have any Nat problems, as I put the laptop I'm using for ICS in the dmz of the wrt54g. When I connect to live it doesn't say anything about a nat problem like it did earlier, and I can browse the store etc.

Whenever I go into a lobby I get into a game, it gets full, then the matchmaking restarts for me.

Your disc is too badly scratched. It's not able to load the multi-player maps off of the disc. I only know this because I've recently started having the same issue. You could try installing it to the hard drive to play it. If it's able to install okay, you should be able to play both campaign and matchmaking at the expense of longer load times. Otherwise you'll just have to get a new disc.

I have had double reloading glitch happen to me with many more weapons. : ( ; And yes the Sniper does lock up once in a while for me. It wont let me shoot. And I have had video proof of me melee'ing someone only to have them bounce off of me because of my lunge with no damage.

I have had to reload the mauler 4 times once. : ( not fun.
 
Ugh, I hate the matchmaking system so fucking much. Why are we playing these types of guys? They've won like 70/72 games in MLG and are only 25s. Why? Because the matchmaking system is completely broken. And we got completely fucked up. Spawn, get spawn killed. It's bullshit. Fuck Halo.

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo3.aspx?gameid=1214363096&player=backflip10019

And we played them twice in a row. I quit because it's completely unfair that we (levels 29-37) should be playing people so much fucking better than us. Fuck this game.

Then stop using it.

Then stop playing it.

Spawns have nothing to do with matchmaking.

Yeah, I have this problem. It's a bit annoying, especially with the sniper rifle. I'll line up a shot, fire, and suddenly I'll be unscoped and pointing in a completely different direction... I probably need to relax a bit, too. :)
 
Fyre just extended an open invite to all you folks for his 7777 by the 7th contest - we're playing right now. Rules are on the bnet front page, but basically just don't be a dick and you're eligible. Send a message to FyreWulff Rex with the text 'inv' to get in.

I was talking about the skill level of the players that we were playing and how they could easily spawn camp because they were way better than us. If you had half a brain, you'd understand how that is connected to matchmaking.

Willeth, I'm assuming you mean for us to send him a message on the 7th, not today, right?

Also, I have been watching some of the old films that I have from about when Mythic came out. I came across a film on Assembly where I have a pretty good run. I'm not very good, so streaks like this come few and far between. I rendered it up below.

Nice. I alternate between good games and utter disaster on SWAT. Never had a streak even near that - I feel pretty good if I get 3-4 kills in a row before dying. :lol

I've been going through my clips deciding what to render come the seventh. Got a few that are just a couple seconds over one minute each, but they're amusing enough that I'll run with them. Which means I'll need more minutes. Eagerly await the details on buying additional minutes of render time. I'll use'em.

Wow, that IS actually sort of bizarre.

No boosting, 69 wins and 3 losses in MLG for this guy... and he's only a 29? That does sort of seem broken. :(

(I say that not because a string of 70 straight wins SHOULD get you above a 30 - just because most of the time, on a new account (this is clearly a new account), 70 straight wins DOES get you above a 30.)

Yeah that's what I thought, too. These kids were obviously better than us by a lot (judging by the way that they played) and there really is no reason that we should have been matched up with them.

rofl - you had 15 kills in that 90 seconds; the rest of your team had 5, and the other team had 4, in the same timeframe. :lol

WAY TO STEAL EVERYONE'S KILLS, DUDE

(awesome run)
 
I hope in Bungie's future games they try to develop their own ranking system. Put something in place that they owned and could tweak through patches. Better yet, don't display these "trueskill" ranks and keep it to exp only so people won't be enticed to use alt accounts.
 
New accounts can die in a fire.

Also lol at people who take the time out to say "fuck you" either in voice or text message form after I beat them. What the hell possesses these guys..?

Also.. Tundra is a fucking shitty stage, and I wish they would remove it from doubles.
I want to shoot and not fucking jump around.. christ.

I have no idea how this vomit of a map made it through Atlas.

Sight lines are terrible, the whole fucking map is an abomination.

Remove it ASAP

Downloaded a few maps from ForgeHub and yet another crossed my path that I found very intriguing. Tons of unique and special interlocking, as well as fascinating geo-merging, similar to Eazy's Brouhaha map. Really unreal what some folks can do. Maps like this and Utah Mambo I would like to see more in MM, whether unranked or not. I never truly got to play Utah Mambo myself, but I was speaking more on terms of its incredible attention to detail.

This one is titled "Fratility", and view screens, et. all here > http://www.forgehub.com/forum/competitive-maps/77221-frailty.html

Seems best suited for One Bomb, 1-Flag, Slayer and perhaps KotH.

Speaking of Forge, I've been fooling more around on my second map, which is based off asymmetrical preference for 4v4 and 5v5 style. The defensive base is nearly complete, but still need to pick-choose spawn locations, as well as weaponry. I guess I'll complete the garage and offensive base before selecting if choosing a Missile Pod is the right way to go.

Great looking map but we'll never see it in matchmaking because it's heavily budget-glitched. What's amazing about Utah Mambo is that it is so massive and enticate yet stays within the default budget boundary. I surprisingly didn't find much trouble making my map within the budget either. Whoever made Frailty only used the extra budget for cosmetic reasons. I'm sure he could have produced the same thing within the budget had he not focused on making it pretty. The way it is now, he'd have to reconstruct a lot of things to get it down.

Can't wait to see it. I downloaded the latest edition of Access the other day and it looks good. Seems like it could've benefited a lot from being able to spend the budget without hitting the object limit. Hopefully everything is going swimmingly with this new one and you won't run into the same problems.
 
Why two flag shotty on Orbital? ugggh

An actual game type that would be real fun on snowbound and they put it on orbital.
