Those 2 players just steaked Bungie. Holy moley.

Damn I wish I kept watching

 

[Willeth]

WTf, I just got banned from xbox live!!!???

apperently, I got banned because my bio was: That one guy who did not give a shit.

Wow, why the hell are people gonna report me for that, really.....

That's kind of ironic.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Question for Mr Big, Hitmonchan, Steely, or Tunavi:

Did any of you note approximately how long the delay was on the stream when you played your game?

Just a couple of seconds. Players found on our screen came up a few seconds before it came up theirs.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Wow Bungie is terrible. I woke back up and its like 30 wins and 60 losses!

 

[Tha Robbertster]

That's kind of ironic.

Yeah, now to think about it

But hey, I'm going on vacation for 2 weeks in about 2 hours so I guess this was a great ending to Bungie's last Halo Bungie day

 

[Tawpgun]

So Bungie has been losing pretty bad which must mean their trueskill is low as hell. On the other hand I've been winning most of my matches...

So... Kind adds to the hopelessness...

Yeah thats my problem, I dont think I have much chance of matching them now.

Or does it? Trueskill is terrible and always seems to throw us good players against bad players, maybe you have an even better chance!

 

[J-Roderton]

Completely given up hope on getting into a Bungie match but nice little win streak we had there.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

I've been wondering this too. Kinda weird we've heard nothing...

Yea. It's weird. Just weird. Bungie said nothing and he disappeared. It couldn't have been a good parting.

 

[thezerofire]

Yea. It's weird. Just weird. Bungie said nothing and he disappeared. It couldn't have been a good parting.

Isn't that how it happened with Shishka?

 

[clav]

I just got a rampage and perfection some hours ago.

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/GameStats.aspx?gameid=690269183&player=ClavierTekky

Yeah, I don't think I'll be matched up with Bungie.

 

[Merguson]

How many winners will know how to use the grill?

 

[thezerofire]

I got my first perfection last night, but it was against a really new kid and his two guests, the other two quit out, and it was mostly with a sword. pretty shameful really.

 

[clav]

Well if I get one, I can pan fry at least.

 

[J-Roderton]

I got my first

Spoiler

Reach

perfection about an hour ago under pretty much the exact same circumstances, except I had a shot gun. Really cheap, but hey.

 

[MrBig]

I'll grill them and post pics the day I get them.

 

[thezerofire]

so it looks like Bungie is only good on really close-range maps where they can abuse sword, shotgun, and armor lock?

 

[bobs...onGaf]

I hit the credit limit in 25 games, I kinda assumed it would take me longer than that, either way I also hit the 30k jackpot twice (Im not sure I got credit for it the first time), so credits have been rolling in. Also got a cheeky exterm in one of my first few games, so even though I didnt play Bungie and get a steak it was still a good swag.

 

[darthbob]

FTFY.

 

[Merguson]

Good man.

Is it me or does this Bungie playlist attract all the armor lock abusers? I just played one match and experienced more armor lock than I have in months.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Hey guys what is that tower defence map with the gauss hogs and mongooses?

 

[Ramirez]

Trueskill should be turned off for this playlist, woulda made more sense.

 

[Booshka]

Got my 3rd Super Jackpot of the Week, feel bad for you guys that have been playing to the point of hitting the credit limit and still not getting the jackpot. I have been playing a modest amount of games and got them pretty easily all 3 times.

The one I got today I couldn't even enjoy because my team

Spoiler

of randoms

lost 50-49 when we were up 49-48. Two of the randoms just held forward and got killed by their whole team for the final two kills, while I was waiting for some jackass to come out of Armor Lock to get the 50th kill. He stayed in Armor Lock long enough for my teammates to die, uggh.

It was on Sword Base and pretty much 7/8 players were constantly camping Gold lift or going toward Gold Lift to die, I was trying to get Power Weapons and map control. Map control on Sword Base for scrubs is having Sword, shotgun and a whole lot of Armor Lock camping the Gold Lift, definitive Halo.

I'd say that's more of the map's fault than the players' though

Let them reap what they sow.

 

[Plywood]

I can't believe there's still a credit limit.

First time I hit was today, trying to win steak from Bungle.

 

[bobs...onGaf]

I can't believe there's still a credit limit.

Funny think is I hit it at about 12:45am and carried on playing for fun, now that its after 1am it seems like its the new day. Thats perfect timing lol.

There are kids on XBL man. Gotta keep it clean:

 

[thezerofire]

am I the only one who thinks its awesome that Bungie is stuck down at the bottom of the map because there is no good way up?

 

[FourDoor]

Well if I get one, I can pan fry at least.

If you don't have grill then get yourself a nice cast iron skillet!

The only way to cook like a man when you don't have grill available!!!

No need to ever clean it with soap and water and all of the chunks left behind is whatll give your food flavor down the road.

 

[Booshka]

No, it's the players fault, all you need to do to players camping Gold is get Grenade Launcher, Snipe and a bunch of nades. Spam nades, bank the grenade launcher rounds in there, and snipe any trying to escape. Go in there pick up whatever power weapons they had, LEAVE, then setup on the top.

Instead, the scrub strategy is to spam nades into the gold lift from the bottom, then lift up and go crazy trying to get a kill before dying. Rinse and repeat all game and never think of a new strategy. This went both ways, 3 of my teammates camped Gold, then when they would die, the other team's 4 players camped Gold, and both sides strategy to break the setup was to throw themselves and their nades up the lift repeatedly.

Obviously there is a flaw in the map if the scrubs in the player base keeps doing the same thing over and over, but Sword Base isn't a completely awful map if players know what they are doing. I never want Halo games to be balanced to the morons that play like that. If anything I blame that kind of playstyle on Reach's mechanics, with close quarters being so overpowered and scrubs hating to shoot at anything that isn't 10 feet in front of them. Oh, and Armor Lock.

 

[zumphry]

Is that urk playing right now?

Also I suddenly want a Jeep Compass. Hmm.

I meant that there's a flaw in the map where a strategy of camping one room can be successful like that

 

[Plywood]

It's a good thing Bungie decided to have this Bungie Day steak giveaway that way they finally play test there game.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

I meant that there's a flaw in the map where a strategy of camping one room can be successful like that

Yea. That is the biggest flaw in the maps for Reach in my opinion.

 

[O D I N]

Just played an entire team of Armor Lock'ers.

WHY IS ARMOR LOCK IN THE BUNGIE DAY PLAYLIST?!?!?! :angry face:

 

[thezerofire]

Yea. That is the biggest flaw in the maps for Reach in my opinion.

I think the lack of flow in general is pretty bad. but then again with jetpacks map flow doesn't work very well anyway

Just played an entire team of Armor Lock'ers.

WHY IS ARMOR LOCK IN THE BUNGIE DAY PLAYLIST?!?!?! :angry face:

It's Bungie's favorite

 

[blamite]

Hey guys what is that tower defence map with the gauss hogs and mongooses?

I'll trey to find the link, but it's In Your base on Stealin Your Flags.

Well since they're split from Microsoft they don't have all of that cool Testing stuff they used to have.

 

[Booshka]

I guess it was just a case of me being in a game with two teams of noobs that wanted to do the same cheesy play over and over, while I just watched in horror. I broke the setups a few times with Grenade Launcher and nades, but it didn't really matter because my team would nestle in right into Gold and be the next victims of nade spam.

Feels bad, man.

Because it's super powerful, I love it.

 

[Nutter]

Terrible people will do anything to stay alive for 5 more seconds then they should have... Or just have their team mate bail them out.

Spoiler

f armor lock and evade

 

[Captain Blood]

Ultimate hoverhand. Hands so far from touching that they appear to not even be hovering.

We were all on edge you can see Jerome in the background behind me......

It is just fucking funny.

Could someone please render this for me. It's a pretty cool assassination I pulled off today on Countdown.
