Argh, DF smash betrayers, just played Valhalla - Big Team Slayer and I happen to grab the Sniper and thankfully do well with it, I love sniping on Valhalla from the water side base.
Anyhoo, I'd just got my Killing Frenzy on my 12th kill and I was happy I was doing well, when oh what joy this pillock Chris V777 - C25 with his -39xp penalties decides it would be fun to betray me, turns out he'd already got someone else, so I boot his ass.
Watching the film he was dreadful, only one kill before he got me, so maybe he had a friend playing?
This has happened to before on Valhalla, betrayed for having the sniper, can't people just go do something else? He says waiting with 2 others for it to respawn for ammo
, one of whom betrays me as well, joy
I really do despise friendly fire sometimes, except when my boss's son is killing him as his guest as he's not good at telling between team games and ffa games :lol
Has anyone else had annoying problems with betrayers?

What's with the retards who play Team Hardcore and run around with fucking SMGs and Needlers? This shit is bad for my health, I'm stunned at the shit I see in this list...people walk right beside people who are killing me, never even see them because of their reliance on radar, ugh.
This series also has, bar none, the worst fucking community of any online game I've ever played. From betraying asshats to people who just flat out do not understand the game, it's awful. I guess it comes with being popular, but holy shit.

Your second paragraph is why i stopped going into hardcore without people i know. Nobody below level 10 (90% of the playlist) knows how to play hardcore! Imma send you a FR cos you're on this forum complaining about bad team mates A LOT so if i see you playing alone expect invites galore.
I appreciate the variety in Team HC, but some just do not make sense...4v4 flag on Valhalla? Oddball on Standoff?
I just played the oddball on standoff, they got the ball, we died one time and it spawned us all the way at the other base, it was literally impossible to get back inside the other base with 3 BRs guarding from up top. Ugh. Perhaps if the Hog was left on there, I dunno.

Are you stupid? You guys spend countless hours on here crying about Melee and how you can't get the sword to work. I'm straight up talking about the community and how many dumb asses play this game. My complaints have ZERO to do with the game, aside from some odd game types for 4v4.
If you go into the Hardcore list and at the beginning of the game, go straight for a Needler and use that as your primary weapon, you're a retard and need to break your disc in half.
Now, when you find me crying about how I melee someone first and die, get dismantled on BR Guardian, or how I can't function without having the mauler on every map, then I come on here and make a billion posts about it, then you can use my comment against me.
That wasn't so hard.

What's wrong with using the needler in Hardcore? It seems pretty lethal when you're close and flanking or chasing someone. SMG/Spiker + Plasma rifle is great up-close as well, kills about as quick as an AR would.
I've only played a few games in Hardcore, most of which have been laggy and horrible, and obviously I'm not very good at Halo, so this is a genuine question. I honestly don't see why using the needler is a bad idea: educate me!

You know...He is pretty much right. You have to get better or adapt to different play styles when with people who are not as good. I haven't been following this topic too much, so I can not comment on the other stuff. But for the most part, playing with people who are not as good normally just benefits you more in the long run since you get better by doing so. Of course it is annoying when you get some useless person who is 2 and 20 on slayer or something like that. And you know you lost because of it.
Do not underestimate the needler!!!:lol . It is a fantastic weapon. The best thing is, It is pretty much a silent weapon with no chance for the oppenent to fight back. Because once the first blows up, He is pretty much dead if you unleashed a round at him.

No problem with that. That's why I hated seeing Guardians BR and so on in Team Slayer. What's so different? In Halo 2, they need Battle Rifle starts in bigger maps like Burial Mounds and Relic. But what give a reason to give rifle starts to a small map like Guardian? Even Lockout didn't have BR starts and it is larger than Guardian. Removing Maulers in there didn't bother me. The Hammer is more troublesome on that map than any Mauler.Ramirez said:
Hopefully, at least aside from BR starts on Valhalla for straight up Team Slayer, they remove EVERY BR start for Team Slayer maps. There's simply no point. None.

Learn to adapt, that's all I'm going to say. Surely, someone of your immense talents, as a general who tells all of us to adapt, can overcome one or two idiots in a game. Surely...
I just played a slayer match on Standoff where two people on my team were ejected before the game even began. In the lobby, a guy on the other team was making fun of one of our guys because he had a ton of games, but wasn't a high rank. At the start of the game, Xbox Live dumped the guy I was partied up with.
We won 50-49, three men down. Hilarity ensued.

I had something like that happen to me in a game. Me and a friend were playing team slayer, and two of our four teammates dropped at the start of the game. Me and my friend won the match by four points. It was awesome (and pure luck).urk said:

Combine this with shit from the inability to play those in Europe exclusively, idiotic teammates that kill me with friendly fire and hamper my ability to kill by actually blocking my shots, and apply it to every playlist, and you have my life story. At Halo.
When you play Halo, you normally have to fight against the other team. What I almost always end up doing is:
Fighting against my own teammates (for instance, they get in my way, block my shots, and kill me with friendly fire)
Fight against the connection (because finding a good connection is almost as likely as winning the lottery apparently)
Fighting against the enemy. You know, the people you're supposed to fight against.

Has anyone seen a Scorpion in matchmaking yet, or a Hornet? I did expect to start seeing them when variants with the Wraith showed up.

I had an Al Sharpton friend...Once! Well not a friend really, but we talked a few times. Well one time. Well I yelled out my window "GET OFF MY LAWN!"
zomg the kids in team hardcore. zomg THE HORROR.
THC games always have people bitching about long respawn times for me. also, i don't think i have played a game where kids don't bitch about the removal of Maulers on Guardian. it's all my team talked about on the game i just played. oh well, i went +12 and we won. fuck maulers. :lol

I moved from team slayer to hardcore when I play online now unless in a friends party and they want to do something else.
While BR starts were my biggest complain in halo 2, the way the BR works now over range is so much better and less spawn/cross map raping that I like it. I use the BR 90% of the time anyway in slayer games so eh, also I prefer the radar, always hated the default and normally turn it off in custom games.

What's with the vehicle hijacking in this game? I've noticed that it's hard to move after being tossed off a vehicle, which then allows the hijacker to kill me easily with it. :lol I have only noticed this recently since I started playing the game regularly again this month. Is this new?

it's new to Halo, not to Halo 3 though.
Does anyone else have a hard time using the sword?
It feels like it rarely works properly for me. I try to wait untill the reticle turns red to lunge with RT, but i've literally stood straight on with people numerous times, from pretty close range and not had it turn red, yet i sometimes get lunged at from half a room away, and while in midair too.
Maybe i'm doing it wrong, but it doesn't seem like it to me :-/
Any ideas?

Well, if you remember in Halo 2, jacking a vehicle rarely worked, because the guy would pretty much kill you instantly once you jumped on it, due to your shields being weak from the vehicles fire. The new mechanic balances it, you have to be more careful with your splatter attempts and how close you try to camp people, etc.
The sword is affected by host I would imagine, because the same thing has happened to me, I'll trail a guy with my crosshair over him and still have to be pretty much right on him to get the lock. Meanwhile I get melee lunged from 10 yards, good times.

Just recently got into this awhile back.
What has Bungie said about new maps and game add ons? I see three new ones to purchase. I could have sworn MS signed a deal with some ex-Bungie start up company to make Halo 3 maps for them. When do those come out?
I hope they flood this thing with new maps left and right.
Also, does the mongoose have a point in multiplayer? Seems like it needs a tiny little weapon upfront or something. Nobody uses it as far as I have seen.
BTW, I love the new addition of bubbleshields, powerdrain, etc. It just adds another layer to the game.

You're talking about Certain Affinity. They did some maps for Halo 3, but I'm not certain they are involved with Halo 3. Someone may have better information. What we do know is that there will be another map pack available this spring.
The Goose is good for getting someplace fast and that's about it unless you just want to drive around honking the horn, which is also super awesome.

Someone ran back and forth over my corpse once honking. I found that funny.
Have they said anything about their multiplayer patches yet? I figure some rebalancing may take effect sometime. Sorry but I tried to keep myself in the dark about Halo 3 as much as I could so as not to spoil it for me.
On a side note, I find it annoying how your body will often stay upright as your flying through the air after a big hit. They need to tweak the ragdoll a bit IMO.
