Anyone come acwos- sorry across Jonathon Ross' character yet?

 

[Buttonbasher]

A whisper in my ear?

...there is a bear behind you run...

 

[RyuHayate]

Thanks guys!

 

[The Elite]

For you Firefly fans, I won't ruin everything (there are more than one Firefly references), but if you'll recall from GC, Nathan Fillion voices a marine. Something cool is that

Spoiler

he actually goes by the name "Reynolds." And he's got a pretty big part! It's really, really powerful to hear him in a sci-fi setting again.

You just added another level to my excitement.

 

[joshlee]

Just saw a halo 3 ad on my myspace homepage. and i must admit it looks pretty sweet.

 

[StriKeVillain]

Do we know if there's any progression in the matchmaking ranks besides the military ranks? I thought the armor variants would be part of it. I loved RB6:V and the way they made their online system.

 

[GodfatherX]

Play through Halo: CE again, finish up a review for IGN, Saturday night projector and beer fun, plus Sunday beer and patio extravaganza of doom!

not sure who you are from ign tv, but just curious how weeds has been so far

im a big fan of the show but have missed every episode this season due to my work schedule

also im loving the first 2 episodes of dexter season 2

Did you get your mic fixed?

you mean the way that you essentially had to cheat to get any good equipment in a reasonable time

 

[HugBasket]

Vidoc rules.
Podcast decent so far.
What I did that got me a bit behind on the halo info - garbage.

not sure who you are from ign tv, but just curious how weeds has been so far

im a big fan of the show but have missed very episode this season due to my work schedule

I'm just a freelancer who reviews several shows for them and haven't had a chance to check out the second season of either show but am eagerly anticipating both!

 

[StriKeVillain]

No, the way that when you progressed through ranks you acquired new items.

 

[Buttonbasher]

Getting a wireless with Halo 3.

 

[Domino Theory]

Domino just came home with a H3 wireless headset.

Anyways, quick question to Cocop or Vyse: when you unlock an armor permutation or helmet, etc.. does it say on screen ? Like "You have unlocked an armor permutation." or do you have to go into the "Appearance" section and see for yourself ?

So awesome. Oh yeah and fuck MS for making such shitty hardware.

 

[H3ADG3AR]

Getting a wireless with Halo 3.

Good man.

 

[alexh]

Holy fuck @ vidoc. This game is going to destroy my semester GPA.

DESTROY. IT.

Seconded.

I hope it doesn't.. but with these java programs taking hours to finish.. I think I'm going to have to make a choice.. haha

anyone good at OO programming? haha

 

[MaizeRage25]

Domino just came home with a H3 wireless headset.

My brother has one; they're pretty nice.

 

[KookyBastard]

I thought there would be some form of custom game search engine.

 

[thatbox]

Seconded.

I hope it doesn't.. but with these java programs taking hours to finish.. I think I'm going to have to make a choice.. haha

How about film history papers in French? Anyone good at those?

weeds has been excellent. i havent seen this past weeks show, but have seen the first five.

cant really say much other than its weeds. its the same show, same humor, etc; i dont want anything to change cause the show is perfect.

 

[GodfatherX]

I'm just a freelancer who reviews several shows for them and haven't had a chance to check out the second season of either show but am eagerly anticipating both!

nice

i find it funny that showtime drops off a bunch of season preview disc 6 weeks vefore they premiere and kindly ask that nobody share them

not that i did, just found it funny...example the 2 episode preview of dexter/brotherhood i got at the end of august

 

[StriKeVillain]

My brother has one; they're pretty nice.

I plan on getting one with my preorder. I've heard good things about them so far. They're a lot better than their predecessors.

 

[sixthsubset]

thats stupid. people are still gonna play custom matches regardless of it not being available, so why not just give us something we want.

and no offense to bungie, but from a gameplay perspective i think this custom game search is a much more useful feature than saved films.

they took that out? are you kidding?

now it'll be TWICE as hard to get an mlg scrim going without scrim clans they better get team hardcore going with official mlg rules out in some time, or else i'll cry

 

[Buttonbasher]

I plan on getting one with my preorder. I've heard good things about them so far. They're a lot better than their predecessors.

Yeah. The others aren't USB right? And are they limited? Should I buy now?

 

[Lt Cola]

Is this true of the new white ones?

 

[StriKeVillain]

Yeah. The others aren't USB right? And are they limited? Should I buy now?

Only H3 are USB but don't charge from PC USB first time. I saw someone who plugged it straight into his computer and now it won't turn on. Just charge it from your 360 first. I wanted to buy it when I preordered my legendary but the clown at Gamestop of course said they couldn't sell it until launch night.

 

[HugBasket]

I noticed that Bungie podcast usually has a brief moment where everyone just starts saying wow.

 

[H3ADG3AR]

Yeah. The others aren't USB right? And are they limited? Should I buy now?

I never had a problem with my wireless apart from the charging method(not USB). I may trade for the H3 one now.

 

[Buttonbasher]

Thats dumb. I just am tired of have clumps of hair stuck to my headset. Me getting Wireless will benefit everyone involved.

 

[Calm Killer]

So after listening to the podcast do I have it right that there is another map we download? Remake of Snowbound? Is this the map cyberdyne that was in the beta code but not in the final release?

 

[H3ADG3AR]

Weird, thanks for the advice.

huh? remake of snowbound?

this remake business is getting out of hand

 

[MaX_PL]

yeh i cant wait to start getting raped by 4v4, 2v2, etc. messages from people looking to get custom scrims going. i cant believe bungie did not include this option, its gonna be a hassle for people wanting to play forged games and other custom options.

 

[Eric WK]

Rebound is a Forge variant, from what I understood.

Yeah, same thing with one of my GameStops so I called another Gamestop about two blocks away and they said they're selling them so I just went there. Apparently the headset is rated M. :lol

 

[GodfatherX]

wait there is a remake of a new map already

or a download of that map with various gametypes or modified with forge

 

[StriKeVillain]

Thats dumb. I just am tired of have clumps of hair stuck to my headset. Me getting Wireless will benefit everyone involved.

:lol :lol

How in the hell? God, I can't wait for launch night. Just hope I don't get mugged. North Philly= serious business.

 

[MaizeRage25]

I agree with whoever said it above, I think Rebound is a Forge variant of Snowbound.

That was my understanding at least.

 

[Eric WK]

yeah pretty much. i understand the average player doesn't need this, but i won't have much room on my list for mlg guys for scrims. i feel guilty when i take anybody off my list, and i'm going to hate doing that for h3...

this seems like an oversight, unless there's some other way to connect to people easy. the least they could do is have themed chatrooms where you meet up with people and can send party invites or something...

 

[Vyse The Legend]

For those with early copies of Halo 3, matchmaking is now up. The leaked matchmaking list is accurate.

Edit: There are currently 321 people playing.

 

[GodfatherX]

i see this picture and just think

LLYOD!

 

[Aleman]

i see this picture and just think

LLYOD!

or HUG IT OUT BITCH!

or GET THE FUCK OUT!

So this is what we're looking at. Pretty standard. Works for me.

Lone Wolves (Formerly Rumble Pit)
Team Slayer
Team Objective

Can you confirm the names Vyse, just so I have them down correctly?

Dumb question incoming: So Infection falls into Team Slayer/Training/BTB ?

 

[MaizeRage25]

Potentially Dumb Question:

A lot of the multiplayer achievements say they have to be done in a ranked free-for-all playlist, what does this mean?

Is it just any ranked game?

 

[Buttonbasher]

:lol :lol

How in the hell?

Embrace it.
