What kind of connection speed do you have SafeBet?

You're honestly telling me you don't see the Elite with the Hammer teleport a couple feet to the right before he kills me in the first film or the Red Spartan that "skips" down the steps in the second film (skippy 2 is my perspective and skippy 2a is free camera perspective of the same event)?
C'mon guys...
There's no way those videos play differently on my machine than they do yours...
I know my frame skipping complaint is a small part of a big game but I wouldn't be bitching about it if people quit trying to pretend it didn't exisit.
Also, my connection is like 6 down 2 up or something like that.

You need to fucking accept that this is some sort of problem on your end. I actually went through the trouble of getting off the game I was playing (HL2) to check out your video because people were giving you shit. There's nothing wrong with it. If I had some sort of camcorder I would videotape my TV playing it perfectly. There is not some sort of grand fucking conspiracy against you. Deal with it.
Meltdown much?SailorDaravon said:
Its no big deal. I do it all the time too.
Played a game of BTB tonight...
The skipping in the videos is due to lag...
Why I can see the lag in those two clips but you can't, I dunno...
Maybe you're less sensitive to frame skipping than I?
*shrug*
But thanks for taking the time to view them...
I love Bungie's clusterfuck that is Oddball on Snowbound. "Gee...let's just camp in the shield doors and melee anyone who coms through." Not to mention the complete population of imbiciles who would rather kill the guy going after the oddball rather than the guy standing there with the oddball. That map is probably the worst Halo map conceived. We need more games on Epitaph, that is a great map.

Wait... I just realized that you can't have the Fuel Rod Cannon in MP. You can't even add it in it Forge. Weird. What possible reason could there have been to not let us add it in?
Also, has anyone sword parried yet? It's awesome. I played an all swords game earlier in Social FFA (which has some great gametypes in it), and I parried tons of times. It's so cool to do.

By parry do you mean completely negate the damage? How is this done? I've had the sword do no damage sometimes to people that didn't have a sword, is there way to block it completely now? So lost on that new sword...
Also, team hammers is quite possibly the wost game type ever conceived in any game ever.

I've hit people with the sword and have it not do damage as well. No idea what causes it, but I've had it happen. And I haven't played TEAM Hammers yet but I imagine it would be chaos:lol
Speaking of the whole melee and weapon inconsistency thing...Last night I was playing Team Slayer on The Pit when this guy jumps down from one of the platforms. While in the air all three of my teammates light him up with Assault Rifles and his shields go down. He shoots me a few times, but my shields do not go all the way down. As he gets close I send a shotgun shell right through his midsection. Minding that he has no shield whatsoever I don't melee. He then melees me and kills me.
I watched it in slow motion and his shields were clearly down, my shotgun shot clearly hit him. The muzzle flash is right through his stomach, and blood is coming out. But he started his melee at about the same time I shot him so he "won" the encounter. I feel like I'm playing a turn based FPS or something with those whole melee situation. If it has to happen with just the melee's vs melee fine...But it shouldn't come into play with things like Shotguns, Swords and Hammers at all.
Safe Bet, lag != frame skipping.
There are times when either someone else is really laggy or you are in a game and it makes it look like people are transporting around, you know you see him in one place but not hes not there kinda thing. This is typical with all games that you play online and there is severe lag. Its not the games fault and nothing you can do to the game will help it, you either need a better connection or you are unfortunately put in with someone with a crappy connection.
Your videos mean nothing, because its just lag, and everyone experiences lag, but we dont whine about it here because its not the games fault.

Really...do you really think people are going to listen to a fanboy like you? You're so wrapped up in your ego and love for Halo, you can't see anything wrong with it. Go back and cry in a corner or something unless you have something more to add, which I highly doubt.the disgruntled gamer said:

you didn't notice the teleporting elite with the hammer? :lol
anyways it was just due to lag
Do they continue to rush throughout the game or just in the beginning? All the games I play have six guys rushing the rockets while two of us go for the sniper. The sword remains untouched for half the game.TheWolf said:i hate The Pit. why does the rest of my team always want to rush the sword room and get slaughtered over and over again?

Well it depends on how strong the team controls the sword room imo. A rocket launcher and strong grenade use with a good team can generally clear it out.

Don't even get me going on Flag Rally, it's an abomination to man, largely because you can force infinite (?!?) Sudden Deaths if a territory is going back and forth, lost many games to it.
JdFoX187 said:
That's why I always go for Sword and Overshield first thing, and there's never anyone over there. I think there's some sort of morbid fascination with fighting for the Rockets at the beginning.
Got my second Perfection tonight - 21 and 0 - 4 kills away from Untouchable too, but the Banshee is so much more difficult to maneuver with now, which is more balanced and fair I guess - gahhhh!
Which reminds me - we need to set up some games sometime guys - I feel bad playing with my friends that live here but never inviting the bunch of GAF dudes on my friend's list...

Check out some of the new stuff I made! If you watch Lucky Explosion, make sure to note that the plasma cells aren't on the wall when I toss my grenade
Try out Sanity Test as well. It's a loop of teleporters -- try to escape.

I rush rockets not for the rocket but because the other team almost always does. I barely use the launcher after that initial fight.

Really? Rockets are pretty powerful. I usually get a kill per rocket, if I manage to snag them at the beginning.Ezenzer said:

Rushing to rockets is awesome. I love it. Same as for rushing for shotgun at Narrows and Snowbound. It's just a great way to kick off a game.
*nod*WickedLaharl said:
Its just lag...
To give Halo 3 credit I had seen zero visible lag in Ranked Games up to that point and the stuttering was so slight, I wasn't sure what it was at first.
Thanks for taking the time to look at the videos.
Pit:
I love rushing the rockets at the start too. Makes for a nice encounter at the beginning of the match but I don't know why everything seems to center around the sword room after that.
I tend to head that way after respawn because that's where the "action" usally is.
