Halo 03 |News & General| OFFICIAL


Recommended Posts

How'd ya get the 15,000 metascores? :s Those are hard :(

2 skulls (pick some easy ones, like catch, thunderstorm, or fog), play on heroic, and don't die too much. It's really not difficult at all, especially if you have a handful of skulls on (read: 4 or more).

I've been listening to my brother playing Matchmaking for the past hour or so. It's awful. He's one of those kids that inspired the "Master Chief sucks at Halo 3" videos.

I would hate playing with him online. "Saved films isn't f'ing working right- that guy didn't show up when I was playing before, it's not showing lag!... How the f do you expect me to f'ing play without my music playing?! I play better with music!... F that, it's so laggy! (when clearly, there is no lag)... WTF, he just used BXR on me!" He then went into a five minute rant about how bad Bungie is at putting games online "We were all in the f'ing red, and I was the only one lagging, wtf?!"

Other quotes: "I don't play as good without my hat on! (he immediately got up, stormed to my nine year old sister's room and literally stretched one of her hats on his head)... You guys are f'ing worthless, none of you are helping me, I'm doing all the work (when he's lagging behind the others in kills)... OH, NO SCOPE, I'M SO GOOD, YOU GUYS ARE SO BAD, DID YOU SEE THAT?"

My favorites: "Dude, I'm about to go to your house and beat up your cat!" and "You guys wouldn't have f'ing won if we didn't lose!"

It's terrible. The worst part is, he's completely serious.

I kind of want to pick up my 360 and smash it over his head.

His GT is Uxp fear. Avoid.

hey ragnarokk as a civilized man it's your duty to show this poor soul the correct path. i'd advise some eggs and toilet paper.
Or a swift kick in the nuts before someone else does the dirty deed for you. Keep it in the family, its much easier to absolve.

agreed. :rofl:

You guys should try playing with him. If you can get past his immediate stupidity/racism/bigotry, you can actually find plenty to laugh at. The fact that he takes himself completely seriously and thinks everything he says is justified is just the icing.

I feel kind of sorry for him, but then I remind myself that that's how he wants to be.

Invite him to a Neowin match sometime, it would be hilarious. Especially if Underoath is playing :rofl: Battle of the griefers! :p

Thats why God made a mute button silly :p

I know some people that before a match starts, they will go through and mute everyone that has their mic plugged in. Drives me nuts when it comes to strategy based games where communications is critical. Needless to say I don't game with some people anymore, even though I really like them.

Yeah, I really hate teams that don't listen or try to communicate or even worse, the ones that don't give a crap about the objective. Playing territories on Last Resort yesterday and this one ass, while on defense, decided he was only going to stand around #5 even though if we have up any two territories, we lost the game. Needless to say, while he stood around five ranting how he completely owned one opponent, the rest of the other team took 1,2 and 3.

I played a game with my bro about two weeks ago (BTB on High Ground) where only 2-4 people had mics and the opposing red team all had mics. We got schooled fast as my bro and I knew to stick together and everyone else went Leroy Jenkins on us.

1 gun against repeated concentrated fire of 4-6 at a time isn't what I call a plan for success. These guys were good only because they were tactical as a unit and could easily comm together. Was my biggest loss in H3 to date; embarassing.

Mm, that sounds like my brother. Was the kid yelling about how your team was losing the game for him, even though he was defending base number five flawlessly?

i think halo 3 menus etc need alot of tweaking and such i dont really like the way you join games etc (thats my rant :p)

oh! and they need to add "disconnect controller 2" i keep having to restart my 360 just to get my brother off my screen :p

hey ragnarok your brother looks kinda cute in that hat, but tell him his posture is all wrong. he'll screw up his back like that quick. at least he's a dedicated gamer, gotta give him that much.

this weekend i'll be wanting to game with you mortals a bit more but my connection at the mo is ****.

:(

So close to level 50 in Team Slayer... So close... :cry:

Hey good stuff man, keep at it, you'll get there. I haven't really played Team Slayer much (been doing a lot of Multi-Team, I love that playlist), but if you need someone to join you, let me know! I want to start working on my ranks. :D

Hold down the guide button and the guide will open on the right hand side of the screen with the option to disconnect the controller.

    • AltSendme 0.4.2 is out.
    • Simple answer is yes, you will still get the Windows updates and as long as browser is up to date, you will be good. Only thing secure boot does is protect you against boot level threats and make it harder to install other OS's. I've been looking into this pretty thoroughly lately myself as wifes computer has secure boot disabled plus my other, older computers that run Linux, don't have secure boot enabled. Have seen all kinds of questions about this on the Linux Mint and MX Linux forums. Just don't suddenly enable secure boot now.
    • How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.
    • Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.2 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) AltSendme 0.4.2 release highlight: Modern Debian & Ubuntu support. The .deb package now declares compatible dependency alternatives (libayatana-appindicator3-1, libgtk-3-0t64) alongside the older Ubuntu 22.04 names, so it installs cleanly on Debian and Ubuntu 24.04+. Fixed settings sidebar header being covered by the custom title bar on Linux. What's Changed #172 Fixed #168 Addressed feat(tauri): support for modern debian (80f548d) fix(setting-sidebar): linux-only custom title bar covering nav header (fb55c9d) Download: AltSendme 0.4.2 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
