Halo 03 |MP| OFFICIAL


Recommended Posts

So I had to reseeruct this thread from the depths of Page 03, as a very important thing happened last night...

I WAS 1st ON A TEAM FULL OF NEOWIN PLAYERS!!! :laugh: And we WON the match!! Stats page here.

The absolute best part about it all is since everyone was more or less in shock about it, DrunknMunky was gracious enough to replay the match back in the Theatre, so while everyone watched (although Phies and Green Eye (or was it Common) had left I believe), the 3 of us watched the replay as I provided colorful "play by play" live commentary of the momentous occasion. :rofl:

I really kind of figured out what my issue with Halo 03 was, and that was I was thinking to much about it. Now I do not care, and just let instinct take over, and it has meant me playing so much better. Also, it seems after playing the Orange Box since it has come out, somehow that has made me better at Halo 03. Not sure why or if it is even true.

But last night was a historic event. I must have still been riding the high of receiving my promotion here.

I thank you guys that played with me for making it possible! :rofl:

I'm honored I really am this is a great time in history :D

Who was the one person complementing you on getting a hell of alot better eh Larry?

Seriously its a joy to play with you guys :)

hahahahah that is unbeliveable :| :laugh:

If this isn't a testament to saved films nothing is..

I definitely thoroughly enjoy playing with you guys as well. I really cannot play any other way.

And indeed, you did point out how it appeared I got better way before I had my good run there. (Y)

Haha, that's awesome Larry, congrats! Wish I was playing with you guys then! :yes:

Thank you sir. (Y)

What happened to Neowin Matches? We need DirtyLarry to co-ordinate again. :p

I will definitely co-ordinate again.

I am actually in the middle of moving into a house, which happens next weekend so I have been packing my entire apartment this entire weekend and will continue to pack pretty much every day this week after work as well. Packing sucks, and I have no idea how I wound up with so much in my 2 bedroom apartment. I broke down my "office" today, which includes my computers and all peripherals for computers, and just the entire computer setup alone took about 3 hours. I am definitely not looking forward to breaking down my Entertainment Center, aka my Console Control Center, which I am holding off on doing until the night before we move so I have my TV and 360 running.

So once I get settled in, which should be in about 10 days or so, I plan on getting everyone coordinated and really get some good Neowin matches going again.

Well i knew something was up when this ---> "Killed by NJ DirtyLarry" started appearing every 2 mins on my screen :p :laugh:

What a horrible 4 matches tonight (all team slayer)

Match 1: We're up with an early 6 - 4 lead and I notice they are trying to bait us and my team is getting antsy. All I say is "We have a lead guys, let them come to us" and these two morons go off on me telling me to "shut the **** up" and the like. Needless to say, me being me, we go back and forth for most of the match until they realized I was going to be the MVP and they had to pretty much drop it. Apparently, by the way, I'm a "shakespeare homo". Good stuff.

Match 2: Two 14 year olds and another guy. Third guy leaves as soon as the match starts and we start getting trounced. The entire time, the other two idiots, from the same party, are fighting with each other. I simply say "ok guys, enough" and I get the obligatory "**** you". That was a fun one.

Match 3: The team seems reasonable, but the most talkative is insistent on controlling the underground room on snow bound. I try explaining that, in most cases, it's a lost cause and nades will wreck us. No one listens of course. For the entire time, the same guy, every time he gets killed, starts angrily yelling how he doesn't believe it. "A full clip and two melees. bull****!" Yeah, that's right, the game is out to get you.

Match 4: All the most talkative kid does the entire time, as we get destroyed, is bitch and moan about every death. He doesn't believe any of it much like the guy from the last match.

What a horrible night. Thank god this isn't my first time on Live, cause it would seriously have soured me permanently.

bangbang, I'm really sorry to hear about your bad experiences with those 4 matches. And, like I've said before, I really recommend playing (Team Slayer especially) with people that you know.

I would love to play some TS or whatever with you sometime, send me an invite whenever. :)

    • Plans. Christ at least editorialise this tripe for what it is or put your own journalistic take on it.
    • If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed.
    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
