|OFFICIAL| Halo 3 Beta Blowout


Recommended Posts

I'm on PST, but I'll stay up late if I have to to play with you guys. I can't tell you how much more fun it is to play with people you know versus a bunch of strangers. Not to mention we seem to kick everybody's ass when we are on the same team :)

Fixed my name for you. :p

Haha, but yea, I was pretty annoyed because we had a really good group going and that last game on Valhalla was a lot of fun, so I definitely didn't want to leave. But, alas, I had to get it done before it got dark and since the pick-up was the next morning. Ah well...

BTW, I think we should set up some consistent time that the majority of Neowin players are available and can go online. That way we can have some Neowin matches every night, if possible. What do you guys think and what times are good for everyone? I'm usually able to go on anytime after 6pm EST.

im usually on by 730 or so

My God i just realised how annoying the kids/morons are on xbox live i mean id encountered these beasts before on Call of Duty 2 but here theyre just pure morons i had a kid say he was gonna jack off in my face :s one kid who could no controll the volume of his voice :blink: and another who thought the game was a kareoke session :angry: so i beg thee fellow neowinians let os unite and have some games together because the rest of the halo comunity bar some really SUCK....

im on from 7pm GMT ill be on around the time Munky is...

Green_Eye I know I should not laugh at that, but when the kid joined the game, trash talk from the begining and then he comes out saying he wants to jack off in your face, it was amusing, but that game was full of kids screaming, shouting abuse. But that aside most of the games, have been quite good, most people wanting to Co-ordinate attacks, and those couple of Territories games went well for us.

I will be around again tonight, and I suggest if there is not 6 of us Neowians, then we should play the smaller team games, so its only us on our team.

See ya later.

Unfortunately not sure I am going to get to play at all the next few days. Besides work, I took on two freelance jobs and both clients want their designs before the Holiday weekend coming up, so I am basically working the next few days and nights nearly 24/7. I hate money, but need it.

:o Shouldn't that be "I hate work, but I need the money" :p

Lol Greeneye, I know you were getting really p***ed at that kid last night, but I couldn't but laugh a little just because it was such a strange thing for him to say. Thank god I don't hear these morons during the matches :laugh:

I'm on usually after 7 or 8 GMT, I'll stay on late to play with you guys over the pond if there you're online before 3am GMT

This is when the Reputation ratings come in handy. I just had a jackass singing the last round I paid. I told him to be quiet and he replies "Why? Because my score is better than yours?" to which I foolishly replied "No, because you sound like a 9 year old who's testicles haven't dropped yet".

The point of my rambling is, I submitted feedback on him and said he was abusing communications. Conversely, if i come across anyone who does nothing but make my experience more enjoyable, I make sure to jump on and give them positive feedback.

It takes about five seconds to mute somebody. And believe me, that's a whole lot more effective than asking them to stop.

Heh. I was playing BTB the other day. One of the guy who ended up on my team was blasting some undiscernible music. Annoying as hell. I took the 3 seconds it takes to mute him. Unfortunately I had another idiot on my team who, despite me telling him about the mute function, proceded to keep telling the guy to stop it and calling him a f****t the whole game. Surprisingly, I think my team won that game.

    • Less powerful than a PS5 at twice the price! I wonder if they use that for marketing? Totally DoA.

    • How does it compare to the "SeeStar S30 Pro" and the "Vespera PRO 2"?
    • Indeed. And note that those units are MUCH cheaper than this new Steam Machine...ahem.
