|OFFICIAL| Halo 3 Beta Blowout


Recommended Posts

For real. If the time comes we need to band out into groups to the people who take this all way to seriously and only care about their stats and the people who play just for fun and keep track of their stats, then I for one have no issues at all with that if it means everyone enjoying themselves.

For the record we all want to compete, we all just do not care about being the best players on the planet.

I agree, I am a competative person only from the time the game starts until it ends, after that is all about laughing out ourselves for the dumb/awsome things we did

I came into work yesturday and told my supervisor that i had a k/d ration of 3:1 and she was like "uhh huhh, and did this further our soceity in any fashion? [/joke]

some people act like putting there a level 11billion will go on their resume and get them a job...

Okay. See, now you guys are taking it to far. I've said from the get go that, that was a good game for him..I just pointed out his flaw. Why is it when I seem to say well you died a lot everyone gets upset, but when I said that..that is a good game for him it's overlooked?

Btw, level 21 in Team Skirmish not 11billion.

i wasnt by anymeans referring to you... :rofl: I ment in general somepeople are overly obsessed about there rank...im i think a 17 in rumble pit? or mb it was 14 something or other

I own

Bungie needs to fix matchmaking, i always seem to face overpowered or underpowered opponents :s

Well that's the point of the beta, to test the matchmaking so they can have it (as close to) perfect come release.

Can't say i've had a problem with the opponents it's placed me against though, it's always been just right.

Woah guys, I'm really fine with his comment. I don't need encouragement or anything. I can get extremely good at any game I put enough time into (some I just rock already :p) so I don't need encouragement. I know that in time I'll be much better, so it's no problem.

One thing I've noticed about my gameplay is that I start off really strong and kicking ass, but a little further into the round I start to screw up. I just need to fix that :/

Is noone playing this game to have fun, everybody is talking about skills, owning, kicking ass and stats :s

Ewww, It's one of those games where everybody is turning elitist?

<- I am. I could really care less about my stats or ranking. Parties are just too fun for me to care about it much.

(hence, why I'm in recreation and not pro)

I'll have to admit that I enjoy seeing my stats being high and my rank being high. I'm not too good at anything else so at least I can see that I'm excellling in something. I get angry in most of the games that I am losing but when I'm playing with friends, or with you guys, I try as hard as possible to keep it in. The last thing I want is to have a bunch of people on a forum hating on me.

@DirtyLarry: When you say competive, do you mean at like MLG tournaments? If so, then no. I just played MLG gametypes and Team Hardcore all the time.

^ I meant like just play where it is kept track of, in a league I guess would be the best way to explain it.

Leaving work now, will be playing for possibly an hour or so when I get home in about an hour. Heroes is on though and I also have a side freelance job I have to get going on, so I might not play, but if I do, it is definitely as soon as I get home.

Well, Monkey, Green Eyes, myself, creamhackered and Paul had some good games. We got owned on the last one.

They have added 6 on 6 now for BTB (I think it stands for Big Team Brawl) so we had some 12 people matches.

THE BANSHEE was on Valhalla, so that was nice. Anyway, hopefully later on we can get a nice 12 man Neowin match going on. I'm getting sick of the little kids. :p

The Bansee was there? I didn't see it when we did BTB on Valhalla today. Maybe it's just certain gametypes? What were you playing?

/Has taken the throne tongue.gif

BTW, Meshuggah, it stands for Big Team Battle smile.gif


Haha, nice. I'm gonna try and take that eventually, just need some more time :pinch: smile.gif

Haha no doubt you'll take it :p You got some slick moves.

On Valhalla, the side with the beach, the Banshee is up on the cliff side to the right (there's a small edge). And on the other side the banshee is straight at the back of the base :) It's only available in BTB Training playlist for the moment I think.

edit: Noy.r3D2, you need a copy of Crackdown with the beta included (boxes marked with a sticker).

That is exactly what I do, read it and weep. :rofl:
MillerGDraft said someone must have died alot for you guys to get those high scores so quickly. Well, guess who that was. laugh.gif
Of course you have to include my worst game!!

My best game by far was the Team Neutral Bomb that bangbang was part of. As sad as it may sound, if you check the Carnage, I believe that was the first game I was in the plus. blush.gif

Seriously though I suck at the free for all, but I consider myself a semi-decent player when there is a team goal in mind.

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
