Ranked BTB is a gold mine for medals. Got my second perfection last night just by riding circles in a Ghost, splattering people for the entire match.ShinAmano said:Is General Grade 4 the highest rank? Also that dude has medals that I want
Honestly the only one he has in ranked that I don't is extermination...and I was so close once...I was on Construct with a flame thrower...all four were headed up the lift...the flames only took out the first three...the last guy got me when there was no fire to spitt4ng0 said:

So what are you guys hoping for with the AU?
- change to allow the entire party to see playlist name while in lobby. This is a massive annoyance - we're always trying to decide which playlist to play and the party leader will switch to one and ask "what about this, guys?" and then remember that for whatever reason the rest of the party can't see which one we're in.
- melee fix
- option to save films from postgame lobby
- cortana/gravemind dialogue removed during metagame playthroughs
- removal of the "so-and-so player has best connection and must be party leader to view film." That message is garbage - anytime we get it, the person who wants to play the film just starts up another party and invites us and the film plays fine. It's just an annoyance that doesn't serve its intended purpose.
- ability to take screenshots while viewing a film with others. I can't for the life of me understand why this isn't available.
- of course, we'd all like the ability to rewind campaign films, but I don't see that happening
- I really hope they've figured out a way around the "UI problems" associated with having more than 50 screenshots and more than 100 gametype/map variant/films. I have all of this HDD space for a reason.
- minor glitch fixes like new maps not immediately loading upon game startup; armour customizations sometimes disappearing for a few games

- Be able to view film clips with other people in a party instead of getting a black screen.
- More stable lobby. I dislike it when the lobby screen freezes when I change the map/gametype with 15 other people wanting to play a game.
- More Forge options. Being able to control more exact spawn conditions.
- Faster matchmaking.

The two I have in the row above Steaktacular row are "Hail to the King" which is killing 5 people from the hill before it moves and "Zombie Killing Spree" which is killing 5 zombies. I assume there are probably medals for getting 5 flag or bomb kills as well. Maybe for getting 3 armings or 3 caps even though I'm pretty sure I've gotten 3 caps. That's just speculation though.

There's one where all players in matchmaking have the 7th Column symbol. I don't have it yet but I want it bad.D3VI0US said:
Boosting is lame, although it isent that hard to figure out you just had to change your xbox language to japanese 
That would be awsome.
Hopefully there will never be any of that map modding shit, like there was in Halo 2.
Skilotonn said:I just wish I could see his face when whatever goes down happens - 28,000 games of boosting - gone...

:lol Are you serious? Think about this for a moment.DopeyFish said:
The issue, other than the obvious melee, which affects me the most is the NAT problem. There are times where I cannot join others' games (LIKE YESTERDAY *sadface*), and other times where I can't hear the other person (O Thermite, how I long for your sweet, sweet voice). And, of course, there are times where I just wait a day or restart my router and everything works perfectly. It's just completely random. I seriously doubt this is a problem on my part, since all other games seem to work perfectly for me. I can create matches in Gears of War and play with the same people in COD4 or Orange Box, so it does look like the problem only occurs when I pop in my Halo disc.
On a happier note, finals are now over, and, barring any NAT issues, I should be able to play with my fellow Halo GAFfers much more often.

I was thinking about the melee system, and what fix would make everybody happy.
How about having both the H2 system and the H3 system in. The H2 system would be in play all the time, unless the lag between the two meleeing players hit a significant level, then the H3 system would take over.
So it would be the same old melee system for lan parties, and online when the lag gets high the host wouldn't get an unfair advantage. How does that sound?
Edit: Obviously this won't be implemented, just wondering what peoples thoughts on it are.

uh? they make TIMING IRRELEVANT
i can hit 30ms before someone though if he already started his animation frames he WON'T die even if he supposed to under any other circumstances
if both of us are firing punches at each other, and i hit you and you die, do you still follow through with your punch? No! you're just going to collapse

we all know that there is a patching coming out fixing melee so can we stop saying it sucks until the patch comes out and we see if we like it
armubaba said:
You should rememeber that this isn't unique to Halo - we just announce that a) there is a problem and b) that it's your NAT.
In the olden days when this happened in games, you just failed to connect, or didn't see that game ina server list.
The vast majority of these problems can be manually addressed by tinkering with your router settings.

I've changed my NAT settings for my PS3 and as a result it also fixed the nat messaged I received when playing Halo 3.

NAT problems are the biggest difficulty online gaming faces right now. Devs can't rewrite existing networking protocol and 99% of routers don't have an option to just "change" your NAT settings. And port forwarding and DMZs help sometimes, but not always. It's a pretty massive problem and it will probably not be fixed any time soon.

Frag grenade spamming. Is that possible to 'fix' in the AU? Just remove the pre-placed frag grenades on the map because there are so many people who die and haven't used their frags so 2 are lieing everywhere, and usually stay there until someone picks them up.

Seriously, the melee needs to get fixed. I was playing on the Lockout remake earlier and I think I died like twenty times because of this broken melee system. How Bungie ever thought that this was a good idea is beyond me.
This is true. Keep the plasmas and the spike grenades on the map, as few as there are. But take off the damn frags.Domino Theory said:Frag grenade spamming. Is that possible to 'fix' in the AU?

Uh... you haven't heard, dude? You know how you can change things in the custom settings so that extra points can be awarded due to headshots, assassinations, or things like that? The AU is going to make it so that Victory Laps add an extra rank XP for every lap achieved while holding a 2-0 score in ranked BTB games.Wizman23 said:

Editing after you've been quoted twice FTW.
And yeah, dude, keep it civil. Sorry if I upset you. I was just riding the wave of complaining about a melee system that's already in the process of being fixed. I thought it was the cool thing to do.

Nah, that wasn't an excuse, that was just a joke. For my excuses, you can search my post history for the conversations we've had here about it. You probably remember them, though.Diablohead said:
I did one Rumble Pit game last night where all of the guys were running around in circles looking up at the air. I'm assuming they had a rubber band wrapped around their sticks or something, they all had an insane amount of games, and none left the lobby after the game was over. I'm assuming they just leave their Xbox on all night and let it go from game to game getting a XP point due to no one playing aside from the one guy that isn't in their party. Pretty stunning. :lol
