Ermm, why wouldn't i?

I'm sorry, but not letting people choose what they actually wanna play is beyond pathetic, i have never in my entire life seen a game do that ... You may argue with this all you want, i find it lame.

The same complaints were made with Halo 2. Just the way Bungie chose to do match making.

If anyone wants to get some skulls from single player, I'm having a hard time getting the level 4 one.

Or if anyone wants to kick it with some team slayer I'm dieing to get a group going, not many of my halo 2 friends have 360s for halo 3 :(

^ You can play a certain game-mode. That is what Custom Games are for. You don't get ranked up because it wouldn't make sense to have ranks in Custom Games, but there is enough variety in the Ranked (and Social for that matter) Playlists that if you don't have enough friends online you can go into these matchmade games. There is just Slayer, Slayer with Teams, Objective based games, Multiteam, Big Team Battle, etc etc.

Yes, sometimes you Veto and you get the same thing over again (although it will never be exactly the same thing), the beauty about it is with enough Vetos a certain game mode will be removed by Bungie. They are looking at the Veto counts on all game modes and will make changes provided the Community shows certain trends.

If I'm missing something, let me know, but what else am I forgetting?

@Bekabam: Sure man, send me a FR. We'll play sometime. I'm missing 2 Gold Skulls and 2 White. And I'm always down for some Team Slayer. :)

I can't join your game Larry. It's telling me the party is in Matchmaking.

Weird man. I kept sending you the invite (as you know) and waited a good amount of time each time I did. It might have been because we were pretty damn packed. It might have been just an issue, as we had some weird things happening a few times with the connection. Sorry about that.

It would be dumb to play only certain game variants. No one would play sword/rockets/shotty snipers or anything. It's a form of TS and it makes it fun. I enjoy the variation of games and not being able to choose what you play. I'm glad your forced (unless vetoed) to play certain playlists and such, keep it fresh, and besides playing Shotty snipers, rockets, etc. will only improve your skill with that weapon so when you play a normal TS game you can just straight pwn face with that weapon.

And cheating is basically laggin you out. My partner and I were both lagged out, connection like not working, each had to cut off router/modem for a few minutes. Okay could happen to anybody but when modem telling me I got it and I don't, something was up, so sure enough checked the games (they had a perfect record, which was sketch since we were at the 40's in Team Doubles) and every game they played the other team DNF. And several people have already complained about it. Let's just hope Bungie/Microsoft will not allow Halo3 have the track record Halo2 did.

Not cool.

Sorry I haven't been playing with you guys, though. I've been playing with a bunch of locals lately.

But that rarely happens, when it does happen the next game is always the same **** ... No veto.

I can't see why It's so bad you wanting to play a certain game-mode.

I don't go buy a steak for dinner and end up eating ketchup with a spoon.

Why would letting people choose their game mode in a ranked gamed make sense? If someone was really good at, say, VIP, then they'd just keep picking VIP and rank all the way up without any variation, which really isn't fair to others, nor is it actually indicative of a person's true rank across the whole spectrum of set gametypes.

It's as magik said though, it's been like this for 3 years now with Halo 2, and Halo 2 was at the top of XBL lists until Gears came out, so obviously they're doing something right with it.

I think he's saying when he plays Team Slayer he gets like Shotty Snipers or Team Rockets, which is still Team Slayer just not regular team slayer, which is what he wants.

When you go into Team Slayer, you only get Shotty Snipers or Team Slayer. (No team rockets but don't worry bout it ;) ) I don't know why he's getting so mad over it but whatever.

    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A new driver is rolling out to Radeon graphics hardware owners, and alongside support for new games, AMD has just made its FSR 4.1 upscaling tech available to an entire generation of its products. Last month, AMD announced it is answering community requests to bring FSR 4.1 to past generations of its Radeon graphics cards. This would be starting with RDNA 3 RX 7000 products. Right on schedule, this is what's rolling out now with the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver containing official support for over 300 games. Following this, AMD is planning to bring out RDNA 2 (RX 6000 series) support for FSR 4.1 sometime in early 2027. As for the games, this Adrenalin 26.6.2 driver is a recommended install for anyone jumping into Ubisoft's upcoming Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced remake or id Software's DOOM: The Dark Ages' Revelations expansion. The two fixed issues in this release are these: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing RoadCraft on Radeon™ RX 7000 series products. Purple screen may be displayed when using an HP Reverb G2 headset with SteamVR on Radeon™ RX 6000 series graphics products. The known issues AMD is still working on are the following: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Battlefield 6 on AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. AMD is actively working on a resolution with the developer to be released as soon as possible. Texture flickering or corruption may appear while playing Battlefield 6 with AMD Record and Stream on some AMD graphics products. AMD FSR Upscaling and AMD FSR Frame Generation may show as inactive in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition while playing Battlefield 6 when enabled on Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics products. Failure to install may be observed while installing AI Bundle components in some regions with limited access to HuggingFace and GitHub. Model flickering or rendering failure may be observed in Maxon Cinema 4D and Blender on Radeon RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. Intermittent application crash may be observed on some models while running Blender on Radeon RX 7000 and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. The newly released AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver is now available for download from the AMD Software app. Find the official changelog here.

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
