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:

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:

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.

the team bomb game was alot of fun, great times!

We played well in that game. I forgot what it's like playing with people who are willing to listen to me. Besides that one slip up where we let them into the base, that strategy of balancing the offense and defense worked well.

Yea, that definitely worked out well. Every team game needs someone to just take over and either assign tasks or at least suggest a plan of action, like you did. You got us going and then people volunteered for jobs (and actually stuck to them) and I think that's why that game was so enjoyable.

Hopefully we can get another one of those games going sometime soon, a BTB neowin match. :laugh:

I will probably be on later tonight if anyone is interested.

Yeah, that was a fun one. That's the only time I've played that mode. It's much more fun than the one bomb one where each team takes turns.

I'm still sucking at this game, but who cares, I'm having fun. Still, I die about 2x more than I kill :p

Hey guys, just tried my first game of Halo 3 round my mate's!

It's kinda weird you can only hold 2 of each type of grenade :s and I didn't really get Equipment. How do I see where I have it? Where do you get it? X didn't do anything :/ and I didn't like how you can't dual wield the Spiker and the Needler, both which look like dual-weild weapons.

We played on the snowy level. Loved the downstairs sheilds :p Didn't get a turn on the Ghost...you can still Board, right?

Two of each grenade is good if you ask me though it would be cool if you could drop one type for more of another.

As for equipment, a little logo showing what item you have will show up beneath your grenades when you have something picked up.

You can dual wield the Spiker, I was just doing it last night and I don't believe anything changed. The Needler is much more powerful than before, especially in close combat so I'm glad it's not dual wieldable anymore.

Yes you can still board the Ghost. There are Banshees on Valhalla now for Big Team Battle.

Equipment symbols are shown underneath the grenades. Like this:

The spiker you can dual wield but not the Needler. The needler is way too powerful now for dual wielding. You can still hijack.

The equipment shows up below your grenades.

Spiker is a duel wielded able weapon. Needler has been nurfed since Halo 2 so it's a single one.

Snowy level = snowbound.

Ah, I see. So there's different types of equipment, do you like cycle through, or drop one and get another or what?

Cream, I should be on at some point. I have some work to do but I won't pass up on more Neowin matches :)

One thing I miss is the ability to switch between grenade types. I use the plasma and spikers more often than the frag's. Wish you could choose when to use them :/

How do you mount the ghosts and banshee? I've tried to a few times and can't remember seeing "press <insert button> to hijack" :s

few will get this..

magik...hows that grass doing :rofl: You sounded so thrilled when you had to leave us last night

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.
