Holy shit! I was just playing some MLG and all of a sudden my Xbox just freaks the hell out and the graphics get all weird on me, I was playing half the game in like what reminded me of that scanner darkly movie thats what it looked like, it was crazy!

That shit happened to me with L4D. I would boot up the game and it would go all nuts on me and then eventually die. Turns out I had a faulty disc that would only work when I installed it to the hard drive.xxjuicesxx said:
Since you define "fun" as having more ways to glitch your way to victory, then I concede that Halo 2 is the champ.
Since I don't, then for me Halo 3 is more fun than Halo 2 ever dreamed of being. That it's less glitchy is just the tip of the iceberg. For starters, it has the Assault Rifle.

Halo 3s glitches just dont add any element to the gameplay, they are still there. (You're delusional)
And yes I would like skill to be involved in my competitive fps, OMG what a thought!
Yes the AR, the weapon that still is trumped by the BR and MOST people complain about the gametype when starting with that weapon, YES H3 definitely figured it out lol. :lol
Seriously your just a h3 fanboi ur opinion doesnt count.

Yup, I agree, H2 is so much better than H3.

Well the thing is yes there was cheating but in the NORMAL non-cheating games, they were much better than a game of H3, god H3 is so bad.

H3 is the most funnest when you're mishmashing different weapons, equipment and tactics. Using a BR all the time gets old for me. I'm not a very competitive person. So I don't mind spraying an AR all around in wide arcs hoping to hit something.
The game has something for everyone. You can skillfully vivisect people with a BR all day while I can AR/SMG/Needler/PR/etc. people. Don't understand the need to complain about either play style.
I agree Juices. I know some people hated H3 so much after H2 that they quit playing Halo! I think the l33t MLG way of saying it was that they are retiring from Halo... (after making a few montages of course) You know kind of like Jordan. Oh wait MJ came back out of retirement and didn't do so well in his comeback. OK maybe bad example then... :lol

In fact I like the equipment and shit, but the general settings and changes between h2 > h3 involve a very slow gameplay that isn't as fun as H2 was. The fact the BR sucks just tops the pile of steaming shit that is the h3 shitcake.
Umm you can still swipe snipe in H3, as long as theres auto-aim you'll always be able too. Swipe when the reticule changes speed your on the enemy you then shoot. I've done it in Team Snipes hundreds of times.
Also I don't want to hear any of this then go play H2 shit, because noone plays and it takes forever to find a match. The community has moved so H2 is now dead.

That doesn't look anything like me!Dax01 said:
Also, Shishka is going through and providing some feedback on the Atlas maps used in the Bungie Day playlist, which makes for some interesting reading. He also explained why Colonnade showed up so much after veto: the system picks a new map and gametype on veto, but there were only two Foundry maps. So veto a Sandbox variant, and bam. Foundry. I'm guessing if Slayer was vetoed, it picked Colonnade automatically since that was a CTF map.
I eagerly await the chance to blow a few space bucks and render out the last of my clips. Though most of them are a bit like Dax's: a funny moment that I liked a lot, but you guys might go, wha?

Ghal, it looks like you didn't edit fast enough.:lol
You know, I'm OCD enough that putting someone on the ignore list is actually more irritating than seeing what they post, because I feel like I'm missing out, even though I know they're not posting anything of any worth.
And that in itself is incredibly annoying. I guess I should keep doing it, since I'm so annoyed by it.

Do Ramirez and Timelike have the same avatars? Or am I stupid?
And Ghaleon, I enjoy the funny clips much more than I enjoy the "OMG I GOTTSA OVERKILLT!" videos. Funny is more random and unexplainable.

Same here. I know I shouldn't, but I usually do anyway.Willeth said:
I think Halo is at its best when it becomes a massive vehicle, heavy weapon, and projectiles mishmash. All three games have that potential, that awesome big team mayhem that lingers in our minds months and years after we set the controller down.
Halo Reach should double the maximum number of players allowed. Hugeass Big Team Battle, amirite?
After all, it's just more flapping gums.

I agree with Juices on the equipment part. It does spice up Halo's formula quite a bit and can be fun, but it's all over the fucking place.
I remember when the infamous mystery of the X button was revealed and Franklin told us that equipment would be scarce on all maps so it would be vital to go scout around the map for a piece when viable.
But there's at least 3 different types of equipment (and the same three, too, why don't they just fix the radar jammer and flare double jump glitch with a Title Update and add them back into the rotation?) and they're all on a 30 second respawn.
There's a reason something like having Recon is such a novelty and a must-have; it's scarce (for now, at least). The same should've been for equipment. If there were only two pieces of equipment on each map with each piece respawning every 2 minutes, people wouldn't complain about equipment as much as they do. In fact, people would appreciate equipment much more.

The lack of equipment variety sucks. I really miss the radar jammer, and having more trip mines around would be fun too. There are also no portable shields which could be entertaining.
Now that the MLG kids have their own pigpen to play in, why can't they add more equipment to the rest of matchmaking? I'd rather have the equipment in games and deal with the oddball out of map kid then to not have it at all.

I try, but everyones just too fucking stupid and they just say the dumbest shit ever.
I stuck an incoming rocket with a plasma grenade yesterday. :lol
The other guy fired the rocket from 15 feet away at the same time as I threw a the nade. It took me a few seconds to realize what happened, it was really quick. When I watched in theatre mode I had to skip through it in super slow motion to catch it.
He died, I lived. Awesome :-D

Its not an opinion its fact, H2 gameplay is better than H3. H3 is a sham product developed by some shitty corporation to sell more than its previous product, a direct result of our capitalistic culture. Dumb everything down and make us all cardboard cutouts. Go away I'm batin'
Precisely. Juices, if you bothered to stop and think before you wrote your responses more people would be inclined to care about your opinion. Hell, maybe even Shishka would care but instead you make posts that are ridiculously immature and you can't stand people disagreeing with you so rarely does anyone care about what you have to say.Botolf said:
And your opinion is NOT A FACT. IT NEVER WAS AND NEVER WILL BE. Get over it.

No.
It's a fact if you water the definition down to the point of irrelevancy. You're not some kind of superhuman gameplay measuring instrument, all you've got to go on is your personal experiences and views. Just like the rest of us.xxjuicesxx said:
Captain Obvious hath spoken.
Even I can tell you that Halo 3 is a noobified Halo 2.
The sooner you realise that Bungie is catering to the casual player the sooner you will stop complaining. I say Bungle should let the community update the maps (weapons, equipment) and offer a bit more hardcore playlist than what is currently the standard, but not MLG hardcore.
There is currently no middle ground. Either its Fully casual (vehicle and equipment galore), or super hardcore (MLG)

Noobified how? If making the weapons more balanced and removing all the button glitches is somehow "Noobifying" it, then, yeah, you're right.Nutter said:

Weapons dont really get balanced, a rocket launcher is supposed to be better than an AR. What I'm saying is making the weapons all be able to kill in approximately the same timeframe does not make the game more balanced. Balance is when a good player can easily beat a bad player.
H3 lends itself to be more friendly for the casual player. Hell you are a 45, that means statistically you are better than 90% of the rest of the players playing H3! and supposedly I'm able to beat 100% of players :lol
Equipment, and AR are just two more reasons why the game caters to the casual players. Why don't they just start you with a gun that shoots flak over the entire screen so you CANT miss the other team make it an automatic weapon. That would be fun! O WAIT THEY DID THAT!
