Your knowledge of the Swedish Krona is amazing.

2795 kr is a lot of krona but a premium system is 2399 kr so you really are getting two of the best Halo games for a mere 396 kr. I mean what a steal!

What do you say Dax, lets go half in on a bundle. I have 1398 kr that's burning a whole in my pocket. We'll trade off weeks and I get it the first week since it was my idea.

60 Go + Halo 3 + Halo Wars for 269 € in Europe it seems.

I saw that post in the Halo Wars release date thread, and saw that it was the same bundle, so I didn't bother clicking the link in the post you made in here. Therefore I didn't know it was from some Swedish website. 269 Euros translates to about $352, so, a pretty good deal.

No, it's funny because it's true. I mean, come on dude, I think you can acknowledge that you've been upbeat, completely positive, and happy about everything Halo Wars-related. :lol

Nice stealth edit, btw.
 
The game's down to $40 new at ShameStop - should follow suit elsewhere soon. I'm thinking of picking it up again, I had to amazon it about a year ago for gas money and I haven't played much since.

How so? I'm looking forward to the game; I'm an optimistic guy. What's wrong with that? What in-depth discussions about the game have we had other than the whole LE issue?

No good would've come from it.

Might be the case. I play exclusively as a solo dude in matchmaking, and often run into squads playing as a team. Which...unbalances things. The gap can be closed more easily in objective games than slayer, in my experience. But on Standoff that kind of thing happens at least half the time I play Heavies on it.

Is it by choice or are you forced to play BTB matchmaking solo because nobody on your friends list is up for BTB? I find it hard to believe that you can't put together a party of 8 to play BTB on a nightly basis.

Every once in a while I see a video that has great content, and near-perfect editing and music. Here is one such video:

Project Sonic: Halo 3 Trick Jumping Video

The whole thing is really cool, and the ending credits are an amazing throwback to Sonic 2.
Click to expand...
That video was pretty bad ass. I always love seeing unique jumps and I'm always trying to incorporate them into my matches.

Nothing is better than taking a route you're opponent has no idea is available. Like just the other night on Rat's Nest where I grabbed the flag and and used the pillar to jump to the level above the shotgun defender.

Yep. You should have seen it from my point of view. That guy was crouched and waiting, and as you moved to the top, he lunged forward, thinking from his radar that you were there. Then he looked around stupidly as he realized what'd happened.

A mix of the two. I pared my friend list down to the bare bones at the end of the year, but I wasn't really playing with anyone before then either. No biggie; matchmaking is a hoot most of the time.

Now you're just being a jerk. :(

I looked up the exchange for my news post - is it so hard to believe he'd do the same? (Turns out he got the info from somewhere else, in Euros instead of kronor, but googling a currency converter is pretty damned trivial.)

And it IS a good deal. I'm not excited at ALL for Halo Wars - but I called it that on HBO... because $350 for two AAA games and an Xbox is a fine price. (I use 'AAA' in the marketing sense, not the quality one.)

Yeah pretty much. It's probably assumed that you're on an alt. account like everyone else in that playlist.

You are a brave man to venture out there in the world of matchmaking on your own. :D

Holy shit, haha. Steppin!

I have no idea how the hell I got two hard ass achievements tonight in just a few games. Mind blown.
Click to expand...

I got mine just recently too. Only reason was I got host in a Swords match on Lone Wolves. Got into another swords match a little later, and I wasn't host and got dominated. It was night and day difference.

*Edit*

Games actually came one after another.

I win
I lose horribly

BR starts across all of Matchmaking: Is never going to happen, whether I'm in charge or not, no matter how clever you think your avatar is. If you don't like that, I hear you can start with any weapon you want in CoDWaW, once you've leveled up enough.

Amazing. So instead of listening to a large segment of the MM community, you are not only ignoring their only serious request, but you are also telling them to fuck off and stop playing your game. You're lucky bungie is run by people as incompetent as you are because, otherwise, you'd be kicked out on your ass for doing a shit job.

Stop posting at Neo Gaf and do your fucking job, finish doing the fixes you want to do at least. Don't tell us about how you plan on doing it.

So where's the evidence that a large segment of the MM community that wants BRs across all matchmaking playlists? I am interested in this proof you claim to have.

Responding to trolls make it worse. Besides, you can't take that stupidity seriously. Just pretend he's asking for recon and ignore him.

Ignore function is your pal.

A large segment of matchmaking wants BR starts, do they? WHat makes you think that? Have you talked to all the Halo 3 players and they actually told you that they wanted BR starts? Most people here want BR starts, but everyone that posts in this thread is a hardcore Halo player. I would assume that people like us only represent about 10-15% of the total Halo 3 population.

I'm not saying that I agree with everything Shishka does, but Halo 3 is the most played game on Xbox Live to date. You teling me that Shishka is doing his job wrong? That's like telling Bill Gates he sucks at selling Microsoft products.

I would love BR starts myself, but that just isn't going to happen because the majority of players like Halo 3 how it is now. Most Halo players are casual, and if the mainstream Halo 3 population wants to run at each other with ARs ablaze and then tap B, then thats fine by me. In my opinion, the AR ruined any tactical quality that direct combat had in Halo 2. But this is an argument for another time.

Oh god, no. Please, don't take the Shishka-bob bait. We don't want you on CoD games, either.

Sadly, my hard drive is acting retarded again, meaning that it's not working at all, meaning that I can't get on Live, meaning that I can't play.

Here's to hoping it works tomorrow! Huzzah!

Xbox issues and Halo don't seem to mix good for anyone. :/

Hope it sorts itself out.

That's going too far. If you have nothing nice to say then say nothing at all. Otherwise, use PMs to communicate with others that are like-minded.
 
I just listened to a voice message from a guy:

Hey, I played a game with you about two weeks ago and I do know that you're a Bungie employee - don't ask me how - but I never recieved the Recon armor, and I really want it. Could you help me out, please?

Dude just check his post history in this thread. Me asking people not to quote him isn't even close to the stuff he has said about other posters in this thread. I am going to far?
 
I don't know guys, but maybe i am just too disturbed. But that guy should be banned.

And Blue, why did you not say anything when that douchlord said what he did.

Holy shit, did you just whip out a Wheel of Time quote? Awesome :lol

I haven't read the last two, I'm planning on re-reading all the books before the last one comes out this year.

Also I couldn't find this Booties post, until I realized it was on this page and I already had him on ignore, I don't even remember how or when that happened. I've got like half of this thread on ignore though, so it all kinda blends together :(
 
I was playing sierra117 today, it's very strange how visually stunning some parts of the level look, and how H2-like some look. It's one of the things about the game that makes me wonder why Bungie was so happy with it so early.

To be fair though, juices is harmless and extremely pessimistic. He's not openly hostile to everyone about... everything.

Seriously folks, just ignore it, and it's like it's not even there.
