Brigadier General. It doesn't matter, all he wants is the birdy next to his name.Nutter said:

I want a birdy 
Also, really Dax? You're the only other person I know that recognises Brigadiers as Generals
(I say 'know' because I bet there are tons... just that nobody else has said it yet. This of course only refers to people that play Halo, obviously military folk know.)

Figures, we all don't get an invite except for you.
Man I think I'm done with Halo 3 for a few days / weeks. I'm in a TERRIBLE FFA slump. I've been getting in 5th and 6th lately and lost my 48 the other day to a 47. I didn't play for a couple days, and gave it another go and just got 6th again.
Everything I touch I lose...and it's frustrating

Wow. Religious and Political comments on the same page. Nice to see we're branching out in flame wars. 
Pretty good week for Halo-ites this week with the awesome VIDOC and the update that gets salvaged by a block that if you stare at long enough turns into a schooner.
Thread worth checking out
Seems like a decent idea to me and it might salvage Team DLC which I personally like as a playlist. Plus, I'd rather more maps get playtime in MM before getting thrown into Ranked matches. Not that I really care about Rank, but I figure it might help some of the complaints if maps got vetted a little more before people's H3 rank were on the line playing them.

Its HaloGAF, anything can happen.
Edit: That thread you linked to makes some good points.

Nutter said:Im going to sound like a jerk.. but what are your rank/levels in Squad/Team Slayer, and what is your highest rank.
The reason I ask.. Like Eazy said earlier. I do not think you have played high level halo game. True skill might be just putting you up against the true definition of casual noobs.. Team Slayer on Valhalla is utterly destroyed and controlled by the laser. The team that has the laser will most likely have control of the middle hill. I have yet to see someone win a game where the other team had laser control on that map. Now for Standoff, the first minute of the game is spent on trying to control the damn laser by both teams; who ever controls it after the first skirmish in the middle usually ends of winning the game. Eazyb and I both and many other gaffers have been on both sides of the battle. When we control the laser at the start, so begins the warthog runs, their warthog will get destroyed everytime it comes back. When we do not control the laser the same thing happens to us.
The Warthog is a very special and important weapon these games (be it slayer, or objectve), but lets not kid ourselves. It only serves its full purpose if you are controlling the godmode weapon also known as the Spartan Laser. In all the games I have played of Halo 3, and I have played a ton, the team that controls the laser usually wins the match.
Fair question, you don't sound like a jerk at all. My highest is a 47 which was Swat, I have a 46 or 47, I think 46, in Team Slayer and actually most of my ranks are in the forties or close. Squad I've only played a handful of matches I think with a casual friend so not much to speak of there but I can certainly say the majority of my matches are against generals and such. So I'm primarily speaking from TS experience and social. I'll be the first to admit many generals and upper forties ranked players are garbage and were boosted by friends. It's painfully obvious which generals are legit and which are not.

You've got to love when the server finds a match, the gamer tags just start to be displayed and without anyone uttering a single word yet, a random will pick a name and just start talking **** in hopes of starting a fight. It's amazing the stupidity and hate that's displayed when people can hide behind the internetz.
i feel your pain. after going on a great streak in ts. it turned on me and i dropped back down to 43 from 44. i'm now refusing to go back in unless i have at least one other person with meSmokey said:Man I think I'm done with Halo 3 for a few days / weeks.

I'll help out too if you want.vhfive said:
I'm new here and will probably be popping in this thread from time to time, just to add to the discussion of losing skill levels though:
I am so close to a 45, I have gotten a 42 in LW, a 42 in Doubles, and a 44 in Team Slayer. Last night I thought I would finally achieve Brigadier status, one of my teammates just thought that was not in the cards I guess. Oh well, I guess I just have to be more careful when partying up with people in ranked. I can't really blame the guy, the other team was made up of some very obvious second accounts.

I got all the way to 44 in Team Swat, which I consider pretty impressive considering for 90% of my games I had 3 yellow bars. At one point the three of us who were playing had a 'hosting spree', and we got host for about 15 games in a row and won all of them, going up about 10 ranks each. Glorious day for Halo.
Random minor annoyance with The Covenant. Near the end, where Truth is dying.
Truth: My feet tread the path! I shall become a god!
And then Gravemind interjects, but not in the style he's most popular for.
Gravemind: You're food, lol!
That's it? "You will be food, nothing more"? No poetic declaration of dying kings or false prophets? SADFACE.

Trials and Tribs of ranking up. I spent months getting my main account to a 46. Then, a few months back, I started another account to help some friends rank up. (couldn't get a match with my massive lvl 
) I get to 47 in 2 days on a temp account!!!! WTF (temp accout=II Blizzardman) so frustrating.

I'm still a highest of 41. (in snipers but I went back down after a few bad team mates and a few bad games)
Currently 36 in snipes, 37 in TS and 39 in Doubles. *sad face*
I can never get a team for TS that are either good enough or that I 'click' with. My doubles partner died (not really, just stopped playing halo... same thing, amiright?) and Storm and I have had a horrible losing spree in snipes.
May the halo gods have mercy and bestow great luck upon my future games.

I think tonight- Bungie's dev team just learned who their next publisher is going to be for their new IP. With Larz saying something like they are really close to to signing a publishing deal this week and the update tonight saying tonight their celebrating some super secret planning shit, it wouldn't be a surprise.
I've only been to one LAN in my life. Halo 3 at a friend's huge house. We had 4 rooms set up, and played 6v6 for about 6 hours straight. It was probably the best time I've ever had playing video games, and the numerous chicken wings and gummi bears and Mountain Dew cans helped make it awesome.pet said:

Yes. You read correctly. Lone Wolves is my favorite playlist, hence why I am a 47 (was 48) in it. 2nd after that would be Team Slayer. I did sniff a 47 in TS earlier today for 1 game, and lost the game after and went back down.
I seem to be the only 1 here who likes Lone Wolves (even though it is frustrating sometimes).
