Just played a game where people voted for AR start uncaged instead of DMR start Reflection.... smhclaviertekky said:
Then of course they're all horrible on my team and all do huge negatives and I have to pull off a 30kill game to narrowly win it for us 50-48 in this horrible map/gametype combo that doesn't even allow for that kind of performance to be enjoyable.

I think that every single game I play.
Banned again.
First game back, the connection has everyone at red bars. None of my shots lock on to anyone's head.
Leave mid-game.
Ah well. Whatever. Maybe it's time to go back to Starcraft II.
Leaving too many games. A couple of times my WDS connection on my second router went out because of congested traffic from the first one, so a disconnect counts as a leave as well.

After Halo 3's awful achievements: "We've learned our lesson and won't be putting in any systems that will change player behavior to the detriment of the game in Reach, we promise."
*puts in sticky grenade challenge plus ordnance challenge anyway*
Entire enemy team in the last game we played just ran up and threw plasmas.
Sigh.

That were some serious connection letdowns during the games I played with Ken and Tunavi. Never happened before to me. Still we rock in terms of kills/deaths.
But I ain't proud of it, because we played TO

Best post ever! LOL
Shit is so true, too. It seems like no matter what I do (jump, move right, move left, stay still, go forward, or go backward), as soon as I hear the gale from grenades near me I know I'm just completely screwed.

Guys feel free to PM me with any errors, mistakes or corrections and, if so inclined, enjoy the read.
I've had some insane grenade shenanigans like them bouncing off the side of my head only to fall to my feet. :|Tashi0106 said:

There is no escaping the grenades in Classic.
It's like you have to react ahead of time with grenades otherwise you are not escaping unscathed. I've had them whirr right past me, bounce around a bit and I'd swear they're at least a good couple in game feet behind me, only to find out they were just right behind me and now I'm dead.Thermite said:Best post ever!

The games don't last long, seems fair.
Hello GAF. I have been lurking for almost a year now, feels good to finally being able to write. = )
And I guess I have to do this:
Highest Halo 3 level and which playlist.
43, Team Slayer or Double Team, can't remember
AR or BR?
BR
Favorite multiplayer map from Halo 2 and 3 (one of each).
Halo 2: Midship
Halo 3: The Pit
Do you prefer BTB or MLG?
MLG
Competitive multiplayer or Firefight?
Both.
Games completed on Legendary.
All of them.
Are you EazyB?
No!
Favorite Campaign missions (all games).
Halo 1: Two Betrayals
Halo 2: Delta Halo & Regret
Halo 3: The Covenant
ODST: Uplift Reserve
Reach: New Alexandria
Wars: Beachhead
Favorite Reach playlists.
As long as there is no AL or jetpack in it I'm fine with it.
Size of frankie erotica folder (in megabytes).
There is no such folder on my PC. Sorry Frankles. Will buy Halo Anniversary to make you happy instead. = )
Opinion on reticule bloom.
Neutral.
Opinion on Armor Abilities and what's the one you usually favor in MP.
I'm using sprint only and I don't want them in my Halo 4.
Why are you a Halo fan?
It just felt right the first time I played it. I knew I was playing something special and had lots of fun with friends+multiplayer. Also, story / universe.
Favorite Halogaffer, and least favorite. (optional)
I'm new and too scared to answer that.
One more thing @Hypertrooper. We met at gamescom 2010 while we were waiting in line for Brian to sign our stuff and get a Noble6-avatar-helmet card. You showed me your Halo 3 LE and told me you were on Neogaf. Do you remember?

Yup, they pretty much ruin the playlist. That and the OP AR. As soon as the playlist came out I called that it would suck, and look at the population. SMH.Plywood said:

Seriously though, I feel that grenades have no fuse time in this game, instead what they have is the awareness of when players are close to them and the choose to explode when they can do the most damage lol. I have never seem so many frags explode in my face....

You can fire a rocket INSIDE a drop shield and it doesn't even destroy it. Drop shields are perfectly balanced.

Also, I'm already having Blame Stosh withdrawal.
Also if I can bother you guys for a moment, I'm doing a charity fundraiser for the Brian Morden Foundation next Friday. I'll be playing Bungie games for 12 hours straight, including a live attempt to do a <3 hour run on Legendary Reach campaign with zero deaths, with the bounty being donated to the BMF if the run stands. I call it the Bungiedayathon, although this year it's before Bungie Day for various reasons.
You can see the site for it here. Technically donations already work but the 'official' days to do it will be Thursday and the Friday the marathon occurs.
A well known artist in the HBO community has also lent his support and will be donating his time and work to give commissions to certain donators. I am hammering out the details about how that will work, but when I do I'll add it to the site.
It starts on June 24th at 7am CST and ends at 7pm CST.
