All this should go into a social oddjective playlist (maybe take place of the actionsack we've been waiting for). While the social objective should be more of a flag/with bomb and hill and ball thrown in. While thats a definite gimme for ranked objective.

50% Flags
25% Bombs
15% Hills
10% Ball

For the ranked and social.

No, this post is just stupid. If you say my thoughts about Bungie giving us the maps for free is stupid then this is just as stupid. Stupid. M$ isn't pressuring Bungie to put this into Matchmaking, Bungie is doing this for their own reasons. Stop using M$ as a cop-out it's old. Just ask Valve.

:lol

At no point did I say your post is stupid. But I'd like to take this moment to say that you are indeed, a stupid and arrogant person. Whatever you're compensating for is undoubtabdly so horrific that I dare not imagine what it could be. If you're not really like this, you sure no how to act like one, and that's all that matters; bravo.

Valve is in the same position as Bungie. KevinRo has been right about a single thing at some point in his life.

Always impressed/scared of how much effort you put into these courts. You didn't even use any of the crypts walls and even the floor. Why didn't you use the crypt floor. The heartache involved with creating a perfectly flat floor seems like something I'd try to avoid at all costs.


So you've made a sky bubble, floor, and crypt variant correct? Where on earth are you planning to build the last? Orbital hallway?
Click to expand...
the pic is rather deceiving - i like my teasers that way

the court actually uses the natural floor and one natural side wall - the opposite side wall mimics the natural one - the court is meant to be a hybrid of the Crypt and the Foundry courts, keeping the best of both - the roof has a similar truncated shape and if you look up at center court you even see a faux shaft

excited to see what your abnormal attention for detail results in when you make a normal map.

my mind is exploding with ideas for my next project but i promised myself i would complete my Grifball obligations before i lay a single brick - the next Grifball court i am in the process of finishing is a 'fair' version of the Crypt's Grifbox - the court is called 'Ultimate Grifball' (named after UFC) because the court will be octagon shaped to prevent Grif from unfairly running around the defense - this will bring the total count of approved courts to 8

Filing a complaint against someones profile content/gamertag gets a review directly from the XBL team. From my experience, it's within 24hours.

File complaints against any sexual or racist comments in the profiles or lude gamertags. Even having a simple 420 in your gamertag will result in having you change your gamertag.
 
That's all done already. I was just amazed at the organised hate on display.

The annoying thing is that this is a Gamertag issue, so it'll be a Gamertag ban, and these guys were on second accounts judging by the way they destroyed us. :P
 
I'm not one to complain, but this just happened to me for the fourth time in a row: I would play TS until I get to level 43, play a game, have some guy quit, lose the game, then go back to level 42.

:(

So how was the earthquake last night? I thought the aftershocks would've hit me in NorCal, but apparently not. :P

The Earthquake wasn't that bad. It's always scary for that split second when you don't know if it's going to get worse. I was still in the party chat with Thermite and Nutter when it happened and Thermite thought I was joking around when I told them what was going on. :lol

Halo 3.
 
Me:

Lifetime EXP: 1250
EXP Penalties: -233
Total EXP 1017

About half of which are me quitting BTB heavies games. That's dropped since the tweaked versions hit.

Considering Microsoft owns the Halo IP and most definitely doesn't own the L4D IP his argument is completely invalid. He seems to be the only one incapable of realizing this.

x2

I have about 7000 games played, to which I have ~60 negative exp. That is around 1%... Even if the game type is dog shit. (aka AR starts on Valhalla, Last Resort) I finish my game.

I hope Bungie starts banning people with anything over 5% quit ratio.
 


Voc has a new article out on Halo 3: ODST - specifically, he talks about the city of Mombasa. And in a typical vociferesque way, he's pulled from a ton of different sources and put something together that presents some really compelling (and probable) ideas on the game.

So if you want to g3t hyp3d about ODST then go read this article.
 
Stormtrooper30 said:

False. I bet no one can beat my Exp to quit ratio. I never quit out of anything, not even when it's 1v4.

Edit: Damnit Nutter. You beat me.
Click to expand...
Why not? I'd rather decrease an arbitrary number than to have to suffer through 10 minutes of frustration.
 
Lifetime EXP: 1662
EXP Penalties: -20
Total EXP 1642

You all lose.
maybe?

Half of those are because of lagging out too.

Edit: Screw you Striker with your -12.
 
I got this message a couple weeks ago. Can someone translate it for me??

And to offer up a (weak) defense of my own: I play almost entirely BTB. So when I have an hour late at night to play, and say, Heavies on Standoff comes up, that's a good 15 minutes of misery. As time has gone by I've taken more and more to quitting rather than suffering through. Yes, I'm a jerk.
 
Since it's the new how thing:
* Matchmade Games: 4384
* Exp Penalties: 52
1.2%

So the ol' Beasly edges me out by .1%

In my defense, I've only quit out of one game and Ram made me do it. My folk's connection is shit so almost all my penalties had probably occurred over the summer.

There are no Skirmish changes. It's been 5v5 since 9/25/2007. Social Slayer was moved up to 5v5 because of the push-to-talk restriction being raised.

Thank you for the answer.

I'd prefer 4v4 Social Slayer but its not that big a deal I guess. Oh and... :lol :lol :lol @ Dax's EXP Penalties.

"your older"

Translation: I am 13.

"do you have a heart"

Translation: Think how terrible you will feel if you reject my friend request. Can't you just see my moist, glistening Bambi eyes? Don't they tug on your heart strings?!

"if you had a kid he moved would he/her be on your friends list"

Translation: You are so old you have college-age children. Won't you please love me like your college-age children?

"you hate god"

Translation: Why is there so much pain in the world why won't you help me oh god someone help me.
 
Do you guys think there is any chance of a pc announcement for halo 3 at e3? Goddamn, I'd love to re-buy and play the hell out of this game on pc.
 
Just bought Halo 3 and took it online for a spin. I played in the Basic Training group or whatever on Matchmaking. Not bad, got 1st to 2nd place in a few of the games I was matched in. Got my ass handed to me in some too.

Does anyone have any tips on becoming better? Sometimes I feel as though I take more damage than others, even though it's probably because I have a bad aim. I'd get in a confrontation and I'd empty a clip into an opponent, but the other guy kills me in just a few rounds. I know i'm not randomly spraying bullets around as I can see him being hit, so what am I doing wrong? Do bullets do more damage based on where they hit? A common tactic I have seen a few people do is jump right over my head and shoot, and I'm assuming it's because they can hit my head for better damage. Is this correct?
 
Striker's got me beat, percentagewise... but I've got a pretty low quit total:

Lifetime EXP: 1332
EXP Penalties: -10
Total EXP 1322

NONE of those were voluntary - I have NEVER voluntarily quit out of a game. (Though I came pretty frickin' close the other night, when it was 4-on-1 1-Bomb, and the other team decided to grief...)

you should take this as a compliment voc. the amount of knowledge that you are able to pull out of seemingly nothing is ridiculous. i am continually amazed at your work

You're probably using the AR (the fully automatic rifle) most of the time. You can't get headshots with that weapon so just spray as many bullets as you can. Jumping can throw off the other person's aim so as well as giving the player a height advantage.

For now just learn how to make your grenades count. Toss a grenade, run up to the enemy spraying as much bullets as you can, try to melee them. Hid behind corners and pay attention to your radar, wait for a person to pass, spray some AR at them then melee. Eventually you'll need to work on your ranged combat with the battle rifle or carbine but for now just work on the AR/melee combo.

I may be frustrating for a while as most people have played many Halo games if not both Halo 2 & 3 online but stick with it. The mechanics in Halo 3 are second to none and once you understand them, it's a buttery smooth experience.
 
Yea. We're allowed to quit though, thats why the option is right there. Make some good playlists where I don't end up on Epitaph and we'll talk.

Most of my quits were disconnects due to an old modem.

Great read as always.
 
Great read Voc, I wonder if there is anyway somewhere in the open world of New Mombasa in ODST we could run into a throwback to the H2 Map Terminal. That layout would be a great place to fight bad dudes in. I hope Bungie has something similar to that in mind to spark some specific nostalgia.
