Halo 03 |News & General| OFFICIAL

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.

    • I've been using MWB Premium for a number of years so that along with Windows updates and updated browser should be fine. Thanks for that.
    • For some reason I suddenly have the urge to go shopping at Sears.
    • So I did a quick test based on 3+ different public instances from the litany at searx.space ... and it spins everything rather differently. It seems that SearXNG is a meta-search engine (queries multiple search indexes rather than only Google's or Bing's or Wikipedia's or Reddit's) that operates in two modes: > public instances ... each instance opens itself to outside users who piggyback on its cached search history; this instance's own identity becomes known/tracked but end-users are hidden similar to an anonymization proxy; this instance's querying of major search indexes may be API based [rated limited, blocked, etc.]). > private instances ... your private install/instance that itself queries multiple (configurable) search indexes of crawled web content; every major Search Engine associates all traffic to your private instance (so your traffic is tracked via network usages) but client-side tracking (your own browser/computer specs) is flushed because it's a "server" doing the querying rather than your browser. My test asked the same 1 question to the 3+ engines and they all returned vastly different results: some had CAPTCHA failures against Google, some had failures against Wikipedia, and the actual results were also different -- some had auto-complete enabled, others returned a wikipedia highlighted excerpt despite the Wikipedia failure (hinting at results being cached from previous keyword matching), and others just gave an Are-You-Human non-CAPTCHA loop before returning random results. So this begs the caveat: Search query results will vary based on which instance is used because every instance queries the other search indexes separate (and thus its results are influenced on that instance's aggregate search history and index-access limitations). The major distinctions for SearXNG versus DDG or Brave: > The search UI is 'untracked' since no UI trackers are baked-in which would phone home or lay cookies into your browser (for DDG/Brave usage stats), > There is no 'crawler' that canvasses the Internet to discover fresh content (it leaves that to the major search indexes), > Queries multiple search indexes ("meta-search engine") based on the configurations and usage history of the server instance, > Privacy-friendly due to its ability to shield user tracking via standing up a non-local server instance connectable to major VPN providers: queries would all appear to come from general VPN/Proxy providers rather than your private instance (whether installed locally or on your own VPS in the cloud). PS: I've previously come across specialized search engines of this nature that indexes searches across media assets like YT, OF, etc. SearXNG seems to be a good backbone...if the rate-limiting/captcha/etc. issues were resolved.
