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.

    • My external monitor suddenly isn't working and found out on my device manager that AMD radeon graphics has a "code 43"

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      According to Microsoft, Cause: One of the drivers controlling the device notified the operating system that the device failed in some manner.   https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/error-codes-in-device-manager-in-windows-524e9e89-4dee-8883-0afa-6bca0456324e

    • How do you future-proof a home or small office network?

      By Circaflex · Posted

      Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?

      I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
