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.

    • Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
    • Decentralized search result anonymization...
    • Russia invaded Crimea, so not sure what you are getting at. Are you saying that the E.U is like what the USSR was? What is wrong with wanting control over your own country? i bet Trump would not stand by and allow Canada to control the U.S.
