Huh, grew up in Amarillo TX here, I have always heard RPS. Weird.
Interestingly, when I was a kid in Texas everyone would say PRS as opposed to RPS. In most other places I lived though it was the latter.

I'm getting kicked to game over screen only when a Halo 3 map is voted. Think it's related
It's absolutely related. It only happens on Halo 3 maps.
Halo 3 is the only Halo in the collection to:
- completely have its maps fail to load, a game breaking bug
- have its audio channels scrambled
- have its aiming sensitivity increments botched in the transition from its native game
- have a glitch which causes two grenades to throw at once (also extends to up to four duplicates of equipment being deployed simultaneously)
- have an entire game mode broken (Forge) which prevents 343 from being able to fix map exploits (equipment jumping, pit hiding place). It also means it is impossible to start an objective game mode with a battle rifle or a free for all with a battle rifle, or to feature the best selling individual Halo game from the MCC in some of the most popular and enduring playlists in the franchises history such as SWAT and Team Snipers.
These aren't niggling issues. Halo 3 is a considerable distance from being "exactly as you remembered it", which is what we were promised as consumers, and as fans. A fair amount of time has elapsed since MCC released and there's been little or nothing said on all of the above listed issues. That is, frankly, unacceptable considering these are issues which should have been seen to day one. I find it difficult to muster much enthusiasm or curiosity for Halo 5 media when their current game still isn't launch day worthy four months post release.

MCC has a new trick it plays on me. Every other game around the 20 second mark it will go to black screen before booting me to the post game lobby screen. Its really bloody annoying and it never used to happen until the latest patch dropped.
NAT is open etc. Any ideas? Or will we just put it down to the game being only partially fixed.

I regularly run into audio issues in 4 and occasionally in H2A as well.
No, it's usually just specific sections of the audio completely cut out. For example I quite regularly can't hear my weapon fire whereas I can hear everything else. Usually lasts about 10-15 seconds. It's not a major problem but it is a little annoying.
With audio directions being incorrect/backwards/whatever?
I'm still wondering how we got that Halo 3 BTB Territories game with BR starts. That was the 1st time an objective gametype was BR starts for me.
I lived closer to Houston so maybe that's it?
Or my city was just full of uncoordinated people with bad taste.
These are two completely separate issues. The audio channel issue in Halo 3 is with left sound coming out of the right speaker and vice versa. The weapon sound issue is in every title(see it happening to me in CEA).

Wow we entered a discussion about metric systems? wow
I like it. Give me more maps and I'm a happy guy. Easily better than H4 Legendary BR's. I'd like a little faster movement/strafe but it feels good. I'd also have liked them to bring DMR into H2A, seeing as they could bring AR. H2A is basically H4 without the crap, emulating H2 gameplay.

BTB H3 gametypes are inconsistent. Flag and slayer are always BR starts in my experience but assault and territories vary. KOTH is always AR starts. Of course BTB should never, ever have an automatic weapon start. Even Bungie decreed it that way.
The thing is on paper it sounds great, there's nothing I can really point to and say "that's why I don't like it". I thought it was because I kinda sucked at it, but even the odd game where I match with rubbish people and dong on them just feels a bit boring...
I really want to like it, I just can't for some reason.
That could very well be the issue actually. The thing which bugs me most is that everyone seems to take far more bullets than I can. I've had one on one BR battles where I've died just as I'm firing my third shot. The BR in general just doesn't feel very powerful from my experience.
Also the nuclear grenades are kinda annoying.
Come on now, no one here actually plays Halo. We're just here to complain.
H2A with high ping (thanks based murican hosts) is unbeliavably bad. Atleast in H2C my BR shoots 3 bullets per burst, not 1-3. That's my only problem with H2A.

Playing BTB without mic. I'll play anything, though.
Haha yeah, I'm sure it is a location thing.

The game is still broken. Less, but still broken. It's probably always going to be broken.

You know what'd be a fun way to start off a trailer for Halo 5? Start it out with a first-person view of the player in a typical multiplayer match, working their way through a map, gunning down enemies and finding bigger and better power weapons. After clearing out the enemy team in their entirety, it switches to third-person, revealing it's actually the Chief and that it wasn't a simulation. A familiar voice contacts him via comm:
"That's the last of them, John. Take the lift in the eastern wing, I've commandeered its authorization to allow you direct access to the server room."
"And that's where we'll find it, Dr. Halsey?"

So, shout-out to our own Ian Kerns for getting a melody of his from "Agent Locke" used in the Hunt The Truth background music.
Well, nice to know "This American Life" will still be going in the 26th century.

So when do we find out what makes the special edition cost $250?
Never. Not even after it releases.
So those of you who have read the recent comics/novels, does the arg make any sense? What does he mean when he says something going on "in deep space"? Why is this press sneak fuck calling Master Chief a traitor?
Locke cat helmet
Just say it's following the market, Destiny had the same pricing for all 3 editions.

Honestly, with how crappy LE's have gotten these days I'd go for another cat helmet, but one that's higher quality (given the more expensive price tag). I still have the Halo 3 helmet sitting on my gaming shelf, not much other LE content stays with me that long.
Give me a better Chief helmet based on his Halo 5 armor.
Yeah, but not the $250 price point.
Legendary was like $130 back in 2007.
Black Ops II Care Package was even $180.

I'll take a warthog, a 343GS remote drone, a Halo, a UNSC ship (either PoA or Infinity), a nerf BR or Halo CE pistol, or a high quality Reach Noble Team-esque statue featuring Master Chief, Kelly, Linda, Fred, Arbiter and Agent Locke.
Legendary Halo 3 cost me $150 CAD which is at least ~$500 USD today.

+1 Amazing to me none of this is fixed
They are done with this game sans a patch here or there. I imagine they want everything wrapped up so they won't need to talk about it at E3.
Anyone who gives this company $250 has to be an idiot. Those Titanfall ones were all over Ebay for under $100. Plus, its bound to center around Locke.
