I've had it with BTB. I'm tired of working my ass off only to lose every game because my team sucks. 9 times out of 10 the teams are completely unmatched. Vehicles are damn near impossible to kill and they respawn way too fast. It's a fucking joke. They should have named Halo3 "The Vehicle Zoo." Halo3 in general has been pissing me off lately.

Ya half the time you get matched with teamates that are complete garbage or just dont know how to play as a "team".

BTB is only fun when you go in as a huge party.

With the way the ranking system is setup, yes. It sucks to be put on a bad team, but it's going to happen and I know there isn't much that can be done about it. The problem is the one-sided ranking system. Only the winning team gets any credit, despite the fact that you might have played better than 90% of both teams combined. Why not give a small portion of exp. to some of the top players on the losing side? I just want to rank up high enough in BTB so that I'm not stuck playing with morons. However, I can't get put on a decent enough team to boost past the lower levels. And there is absolutely no justification for why vehicles are so hard to bring down. It better not be an attempt to make them more realistic, because Halo is a completely unrealistic game.

I just wanted to rant. I feel better already.
 
why oh why isn't there a team snipers playlist? Shotty Snipers appears very rarely in Team Slayer but when it does I can't help but quit out to the dashboard. 15 minutes of crouching and hiding behind walls isn't my idea of fun.

:-(

I ask myself the same thing. All I really want is team snipers ranked MM playlist. Forget the shotty/snipes combo, just give me a sniper only.

Why?? They might do to chill out like what they did to lockout.

I may be misinterpreting what you are talking about, but Guardian (if indeed you are referring to Guardian) can hardly be compared to Lockout. The two maps play so differently from each other that I don't think they should even be used in the same sentence.

Lockout was brilliantly interconnected, while Guardian is not. Lockout had so many different routes and shortcuts to get around, while Guardian does not. All areas of Lockout were useful, while I can think of multiple areas in Guardian that have zero purpose. Of course, that is all my own opinion; but I think it is a fair assessment.

I finished the real life Mister Chief on canvas. As soon as I stop crying at its trembling, simplistic perfection, I am gonna buy a spray can of something to afix the pastels to the canvas. Any recommendations?

Actually I am ask in the OT.

Just head over to the local arts and crafts store and ask for help. They'll point you over the an aisle replete with magic cans of transparent sprays. Let them know you what medium you used and they'll hand you a can. It's pretty easy to apply, but you might want to give it a few test swipes on a sample to make sure you have it down. I'd say "think hairspray," but yeah.

So I skimmed your post and the hairspray you recommended melted it.

Abstract, yo. Give it some nonsensical name and in fifty years, it'll hang in the Guggenheim. Something like "Bucket of Bum Sperm Dreaming Revisted: Grand Central Station."

They respawn quick in Sandtrap, which they should.

Also, add me if you need BTB friends. I think it's stupid to go in with less than 5 people.

They need to bring back Beaver Creek for the third time!

They also need to put little beavers in the water.

Really? I know you guys probably don't get as much time as you'd like so that sucks.

Also, I just listened to the last Full Moon Show (yeah, I know I'm late). It was cool to hear you guys on there. I was always really curious as to how Luke's impression of game development was after joining you guys since he never really mentioned it before. His comments have made me take a step back and think a lot more about things I dislike in games before I start ranting and sounding like a jerk.

And honestly, I was cringing at the most hated Gaffer part. I thought I was gonna get it. lol
 
okay I have leveled up to 40 in 2 days, but how come if I lose 1 match i go down, but if I win 3+ matches I don't budge?

Let me say it another way then: They might ruin chillout just as they did lockout? I'd rather have something new and have the memories of good ol' lockout, then be ruined by some spirtitual remake. Add that onto the fact in think Chill Out v3 is better then most of the default maps.

Because it's not like Halo 2, where wins/losses determind rank changes. It's supposedly based a particular game's accuracy/headshots/K/D ratio, all weighed against your overall records in those areas.

Guardian IS NOT A REMAKE OF LOCKOUT, spiritual or otherwise. It is a new map, who's only link to Lockout is that it's about the same size.

So basically, you guys messed it up in every way possible.

FWIW, I actually like Halo 3's version of Lockout more than Halo 2's.

I wanna pway! I might be able to get a friend or two in.
 
I'd like a remake/spirtual remake of Turf, Ivory Tower, Beaver Creek, or Sanctuary,

I really just want more small, arena-style maps, and more huge maps, and fewer maps that are somewhere in-between, when it comes to new maps.

DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I really am tired of all of the Guardian-Lockout bullshit. They don't play the same at all. It's hardly worth comparing them. All of the crying over Lockout makes me want to barf, and it's been happening since those Famitsu scans of Guardian were revealed. Ugh.

The fact that they don't play the same is just a testament to how royally Bungie screwed up on the remake of Lockout. Let's hope they don't do the same to Sidewinder.
 
I just came in here to say, YAY on the patch news.

Been crazy busy with my move to Los Angeles. That was one helluva drive from New Orleans.
Think I found an apartment, and will probably be setup with internet/live again soon. Can't wait to play H3 again, with a sexy new patch!

LA is huge!
Makes my fucking head spin.
 
Small symmetrical and asymmetrical maps are my favorites. I want more like Chillout, Desolation, Warlock, Sanctuary, Midship, Lockout, Beaver Creek, Ascension, and Ivory Tower.

Personally, I'm still pissed about the way Bungie royally fucked up Blood Gulch with their terrible remake.

All of those good times... ruined by the abortion that is Valhalla. Bungie has pretty much ruined my life. I'll never be the same. I have nervous breakdowns. I can't even leave the house anymore. Anything that reminds me of wonderful, dusty Blood Gulch is turned into disgusting Valhalla green in my head. I CAN'T THINK ANYMORE! MY HEAD IS IN SUCH PAIN!

Sidewinder = Sandtrap. Where have you been?
 
Stinkles, you guys should make a map on an island with some kind of suriviving memorial of the past, something kept in rememberance--a memento if you will. I can't think of the word I'm looking for.

won't be long now, I have an interview for a house in B. Hills tomorrow. If I get it, I'll be in by the 10th with internet again. Right now I'm staying with a friend in Irvine (perfectville USA - its kind of creepy how nice/perfect it is).

I'll be in touch and ready to rock it soon.
