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 :(

Killa Mayne 25 my bro picked the damn name, totally retarded but it throws people off. "Oh, what a stupid name, must be a noob" /owned

^ 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.

:no:

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.

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      By RejZoR · Posted

      FSR 4.1 is insanely superior to FSR 3. Like, FSR 4.1 Performance looks better than FSR 3.1 Quality. It's great they are finally enabling it for RX 7000 users. A bit late, but I guess better late than never.

      Was it the way the cars handled in 4? or was it the choices you had to make?

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      By Parallax Abstraction · Posted

      I understand the position Valve is in with hardware pricing thanks to the AI bubble, but as others have said, this is DOA at this price point. There's no world in which a machine at that performance level is worth that price. My girlfriend's a console gamer and after meeting me, wanted to try PC but wanted something she could use on her TV with a controller. The Steam Machine is basically tailor made for her, but only at what it would have cost before the hardware crisis. I took my old Lenovo Legion laptop with a Ryzen 5800H and a 3060 Mobile 8GB, put Bazzite on it and it does the same thing with the games she's interested in very well. She still likes the Steam Machine, but won't be touching it until component prices are back in the sane range. I know Valve isn't a charity, but I don't know why they're not willing to at least partially subsidize this device or even take a loss on it during the component crisis, just to build some market share. Then again, the Steam Deck is also a complete ripoff at its current price and they can barely keep them in stock so...
