[360] Halo Kitty

My flatmate has literally only ever played Halo 2 on his Xbox but even he's gotten so bored of the incessant cheating to the extent he bought a 360 and plays Gears now.

That said, the best way to get Halo practice is to have some decently long sessions with the same group of people, I find. That way, at least your own team are playing well, if not the opposition...

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Sorry call me a noob whatever but I was unaware you could cheat on xboxlive, I've seen many glitch vids but as for cheating what do people do. Don't bungie just ban people that use mods and cheat?

Most amazing jew boots

Yes, you can mod like a faggot on the regular xbox, and yes it does happen online. Yes you can ban them, but there will always be some douche bag 7 year old to take his place.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

This is a little off-topic but I'll bring it back on as soon as I ask this question.

I'm reading one of Halo books right now. More to the point, The Flood. On page 240 in the final paragraph of the page, the monitor (343 Guilty Spark) said something that caught my attention:

Quote:

"...These Sentinels will supplement your combat systems. But I suggest you upgrade to at least a Class Twelve Combat Skin. Your current model only scans as a Class Two--which is unsuited for this kind of work..."

So the Forerunner had similar suits to that of Master Chief? I can further develop upon this theory. What if the Humans are the descendants of the Forerunner? From the books & games, it's the only logical conclusion I've been able to come up with.

Master Chief has been able to manipulate the Forerunner computers rather easily (without the help of Cortana, and has questioned himself as to how and why), 343 Guilty Spark brings up the possibility when discussing the armor (my bad, combat skin) of Master Chief, and from what I've seen... a Forerunner structure is found on Earth.

Deductive reasoning supports my theory. Please, I ask for your thoughts. Am I way off base? Or could I be on to something?

Oh man does this bring back a horrific memory... my first encounter with a cheater on Halo 2. Let me tell you the story.

Back in the day when I still played Halo 2, I was playing a ranked Team Slayer (4/4) on Warlock (a very small map). As soon as the match started, I died. I couldn't figure it out at first. I figured someone got off a really lucky double-shot as I spawned. So the game restarted, instantly I fell dead to the ground.

Ok, now what the hell is going on?

So as soon as I spawned, I made a mad dash for some cover. Lost my shields doing so but least I was alive. So I pulled out the B.R, now in the mood for the fight of my life. I peaked out. What I saw surprised me. Sure, I've heard about cheaters and people who modified the game. But I had never experienced it first hand. That was, until now.

Two of their teammates had banshees, one had a B.R which shot 105mm Scorpion Tank shells, and the other was literally floating around the map like one of the ancient Greek gods shooting Wraith mortars horizontally.

It was at this point, I knew what I was up against. However I was determined. I knew I was going to lose. I was out-gunned & my entire team had already dropped out. I could've followed but I wasn't going to give up without a fight. It's just the type of player that I am.

So I peaked out and put two double-shots into the flying God which floated around the map firing Wraith mortars. It was at this point that I learned that not only was he posing as a Greek God but that the bastard was immortal to.

Needless to say, I lost. The score was 1-50 and it ended within less than four minutes. I managed to score one kill during the game and to this day, I am very proud of it. The game took pity on me and spawned me behind one of the bastards. Two strikes to the back killed him. This happened about mid-game.

It was the last match I ever played on Halo 2. It burned me out. Once in a while I'll log in to play a custom game but I don't do matchmaking anymore.

Bungie tries to ban every cheater that they come across but they can't stop it right now. They ban someone... they create a new account... and well, it goes downhill from there. I respect Bungie for trying to stop it but they're fighting a battle I fear they will be unable to achieve victory in. Still, I may be speaking too soon. We'll see what Halo 3 does to solve this problem. I'm skeptical.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Its a new console, and a new game. I'm giving Bungie a clean slate on this one. Like you said, we will just have to wait and see what happens.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

From what I have seen so far model still move quite weird and plastic. I hope they fix it in final product. CG animations are brilliant, you can see peace of them in my Ava & Sig.

I only want HALO 3 to be what HALO 1 was for players on Xbox. Replacing old race with another isn't really what we expect for great successor of awesome games that HALO and HALO 2 was.

The CG was done by another company, right? Bungie had let another company do that CG commercial as a teaser, I believe. So Im not sure how good the actual game cinemas will be.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Hmm... but if in game cinema will be not so good as the commercial then something gone wrong =P I hope they will be as good as this one =) But we must remember that CG's are one little part or real game. So having stunning videos like in Genji on PS3 while game it self was on PS2 level is not giving much fun. I hope Bungie dudes will sit a little longer to make the game what we want it to be =)

I was speaking idiomatically.

Marty O'Donnell recently got the Announcement Trailer Theme released on Itunes. Anyone willing to share it?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Audio Request thread in which it's attached.

Don't expect mega quailty though. It's an iTunes release. Gorgeous track though. Can't wait for the final OST, and I hope this is on there. Otherwise SADNESS.

Beta has a date now, folks, just so you know. 5/16 to 6/06.

FELIPE NO

Having a 3 week beta has a smidgen of lameness about it, I'm still pondering whether as to nab a cheap pre-owned copy of Crackdown; if I can't, I may not bother as £40 is too steep for 3 weeks gameplay, and I'll probably only get £10 back if I were to trade it in afterwards. That equates to £10 per week to play the beta.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Plasma grenades are supposed to be a little stronger and frag grenades a little weaker now. I got an invite but I wouldn't have had any time to play before Wednesday anyway so I gave it to a friend who really wanted in and doesn't have Crackdown yet anyway :3

Also someone over at HBO found out that ten shotgun kills in a row gives you the "Cheneymania" medal, check out the first medal in this game: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStat...&player=Izequo



I'm off Wed-Sun so I'll be on a lot, looking forward to probably getting raped by most everyone including devo

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Is the sword still in? I have fond memories of "swords only" matches at Halo parties. (Also some not-so-fond memories of matches that more or less turned into RACE TO THE SWORD GUYS)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The sword and pistol are not in the beta.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Huh. When did this game go PS3 exclusive.

I know everyone is all hyped for the Beta and shit, but when is the actual game supposed to come out? This may influence me to get a 360 if it delivers a new level of kick ass.

How ya doing, buddy?

In the beta? o_O

Any word if the Brute pistol has anything special to it?

Gotcha, I thought it wasn't in the beta.

1up says the Brute Pistol fires faster than the SMG, but is a little weaker. Looks pretty meh in the videos I've seen honestly.

How ya doing, buddy?

Amazon.co.uk say November 23rd but they have a habit of making up release dates for things.

You never know, by now Microsoft might have learned their lesson and won't put out a release date too far in advance or at least not so far in advance that Sony and Ninty have a chance to steal their thunder. If memory serves the announcement of Halo 2 gave Sony plenty of time to line up San Andreas for release a week before and that fucked over Halo 2's sales in the UK for a long time.

How ya doing, buddy?

Sooner then expected indeed.

Post a source, BZ

Yeah, 2 months sooner than almost everyone thought. Colour me surprised.

Freaking everyone and their mom STILL bugs me all time to play zombie games, and I'm talking about just random people I play against ask me if I want to do a zombie game after the match. It's pretty popular so it's a good call. I enjoy a good game of zombies myself, just not all the time. Actually, if Swords do break, I wonder how it'll work, unless they make Swords non-breakable in zombie mode or something.

I'm about to die laughing at all the crybabies on bungie.net just making awful posts about how they're wasting away and shitting their pants because Bungie hasn't activated the Download feature on Crackdown, all in bad grammar, too.
