I just remembered why I hate Halo multiplayer so much -- in game types (or maps) with vehicles, people just camp the vehicles and go after people without vehicles for the duration of the match. This would not be so much a problem if the vehicles were capable of being destroyed relatively easily, a la Battlefield, but no, that's definitely not the case -- especially with Banshees. And on the non-vehicle maps, people just find spots to hide/camp.

Maybe that's why I love Firefight so much -- I don't have to deal with such stupidity.

I find the sniper to be pretty much every vehicle's bane. You can even snipe the cover off the Scorpion and headshot the driver, which I did twice now.

Well, that's easier said than done in some modes like Invasion (or whatever it's called) where there's tons of vehicles.

i find this game to be hard to just jump in and play. it requires quite a bit of effort.

i was always a PC gamer so i'm more used to the mouse and keyboard, the amount of demand in this game for accuracy with the inaccurate joysticks can be quite draining. i sometimes can't believe how accurate people are with a controller. :blink:

I took me a whole DMR clip to blow off the scorpian cover in one BTB. laugh.gif I was pinned down in a cave with nothing but a DMR and plasma rifle.

I understand, I'd much rather play with a mouse and keyboard over a controller when it comes to FPS games.

Tried legendary :/

Can't even beat the first level :laugh:

Try playing co-op.

My boyfriend and I decided to do our first play-through on Legendary. We're just starting the 4th mission, after about 2 hours of play. It's not too bad if you take your time.

I got kicked from a game when an idiot on my team walked into my grenade... fun. :wacko:

I remember back in Halo 3, I would get kicked from Juggernaut games all the time for that crap. I would throw a grenade intended for the juggernaut but then it killed another player. I guess that kinda stuff will always be a part of Halo, for better or for worse :).

Best MP maps of all the Halo's to date. Just loving this game.

I too got the boot yesterday for someone who ran into my line of ROCKET fire and they booted me. I went to my match settings and changed it to NON chatty, good time settings, and I am finding mostly adults and mature people there. When a betrayal happens by accident people apologize and don't penalize you.

Next best thing to an adult play filter.

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By carols23 · Posted

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?
