Haha, yeah I see your server on Halo CE, devo.

Anyway, I see your server monkey, but can't join it.

It just says that, changed the label. Try now, wondering if I have to change firewall settings or something.

 

[Gabotron ES]

No, there is another.

 

[RebornYeti]

Hmm... still says Halo CE.

Still can't connect to a single game though.

 

[wwm0nkey]

What OS are you two using? Also if you have firewalls on turn them off for now.

 

[MrBig]

Devo you've got some issues. Me and monkey can connect but a connection cannot be made between me and you or between you and Monkey.

 

[Tunavi]

fuuuuu the halofest reveals are going to ruin all my pants...

 

[Devolution]

Someone else try lol.

 

[RebornYeti]

Devo you've got some issues. Me and monkey can connect but a connection cannot be made between me and you or between you and Monkey.

Yeah, I can't connect to the party. Have you tried host yet?

 

[Louis Wu]

HaloPC 20 Minute Farewell Montage. Man do I wish the netcode for this game was just a little better, I think I would still be playing it today if the netcode wasn't complete trash.

lol - the netcode is what prompted my comments about not being interested. Watching someone leading targets at less than half the distance across BG with a SNIPER... bleh.

No, there is another.

PRINCESS LEIA MAP FOR H:A CONFIRMED

Fake Edit: beaten badly

 

[Bregmann Roche]

If that WolvGui_rine shop doesnt become his new avatar I will cry tears. Many tears.

Try joining mine, name is Futzy

Would be hard to make it much bigger than this (you'd need to fill in content that doesn't
exist):

(By 'bigger', I mean 'include more of the content that makes it obvious it's Wolverine')

 

[wwm0nkey]

Hey Devo turn off your firewall, it made it work for yeti

 

[Stinkles]

Devo you've got some issues. Me and monkey can connect but a connection cannot be made between me and you or between you and Monkey.

"Xbconnect and XBkai worked perfectly, why don't you guys just use that?"

 

[Plywood]

No, there is another.

 

[PNut]

I'm trying to setup XBConnect too but I can't even figure out how to set the damn thing up between my xbox, router, and modem.

I can see you guys on the server list though.

 

[Devolution]

Hey Devo turn off your firewall, it made it work for yeti

Trying, still no go so far. Rebootin'.

 

[MrBig]

"Xbconnect and XBkai worked perfectly, why don't you guys just use that?"

If you're referencing what I had said in the CEA thread, I said that there were those options for those who want to play on console, with the best option being PC. There is still a whole host of problems with connection issues on Reach and XBL.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Trying, still no go so far.

hmmm are you using windows 7?

 

[Stinkles]

If course there are. And actually XBConnect and its ilk ARE excellent solutions to a problem. But they were never an opimum path, obviously. Anyway I was making a joke.

PRINCESS LEIA MAP FOR H:A CONFIRMED

Fake Edit: beaten badly

He's using Yoda's quote, so I'm convinced it's a remake of Dagobah Backwash (complete with the massive lag when invis was on the map). B3LIEv3.

 

[Devolution]

hmmm are you using windows 7?

Nah I'm using a Lanned XP computer right now. Might work after the reboot.

 

[Tashi]

Star Wars themed map confirmed.

Guardian

Yeah

Playing Beaver Creak. Need people.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Hey frankie is Halo 2 ever comes back, kill push to talk please lol

 

[Bregmann Roche]

Would be hard to make it much bigger than this (you'd need to fill in content that doesn't
exist)

Are you implying that Wolverine doesn't exist? How DARE you!

And did Frankie just go all corporate on us and make fun of people trying to restore online functionality to a game that they love? Don't sweat it Frankie, in a couple of weeks they'll give up on old Haloz because they'll be too busy playing the magnificence that is ReachTU. Right? RIGHT???

 

[Devolution]

Fudge. No dice.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Fudge. No dice.

hmmm does it give you any error like "xxxxx.dll is missing" when you start it up?

 

[ncsuDuncan]

Well if it looked anything like the CEA footage of 343GS...

it would still be a terrible map. Gorgeous, but terrible.

Guardian

Heh, "Jub Jub."

No, he was making fun of the people that complained about no Halo 1 multiplayer on CEA; specifically the ones that cited XBC/Xlink Kai as a reasonable solution to putting Halo 1 multiplayer online.

 

[BackdoorBeauty]

Beaver Creek will be the first non-forged Reach map that has a well defined Red Base and Blue Base.

(Okay, Anchor 9 and Tempest have bases. Get those often? I never do.)

 

[Plywood]

Delete system32.

I can never tell where the hell I am on Tempest

 

[Reagan's BR]

I'll be on XBC soon. Have to remember my password.

Guardian

Guardian was the signature Halo 3 map.

 

[Gabotron ES]

Guardian

Now that I think about it a Guardian remake would look outstanding.

Edit: Didn't they state they would not be remaking Halo 3 maps?

 

[Devolution]

hmmm does it give you any error like "xxxxx.dll is missing" when you start it up?

Nope.

 

[Havok]

Guardian was the signature Halo 3 map.

A pale shadow of a Halo 2 map? Sounds about right.

 

[Tunavi]

So BF3 console gets a server browser, Gears 3 gets dedicated servers.

HALO 4 NEEDS BOTH!

 

[wwm0nkey]

Nope.

try port forwarding

 

[thezerofire]

A pale shadow of a Halo 2 map? Sounds about right.

It was great in its own ways. Not the base map, obviously, but the MLG version was glorious. So many ways to get around it.

 

[BackdoorBeauty]

A pale shadow of a Halo 2 map? Sounds about right.

I thought Guardian was a great play space, ambiance, shooting angles and trick jumps. It played great.

Even MLG kept it for Ball in the end.

Not to mention fantastic callouts! I don't have the right words for it, but Guardian felt like it had 'defined' spaces.

 

[The Librarian]

All of these Star Wars references are making me queasy. Let's get some Trek references in Halo 4.

 

[kittens]

He's using Yoda's quote, so I'm convinced it's a remake of Dagobah Backwash (complete with the massive lag when invis was on the map). B3LIEv3.

Huh, you might be on to something. Not my favorite map by any means, but could be interesting.

 

[Bregmann Roche]

If I was Frankie... ... ... hold on, just had to wake up from the fainting spell that caused. If I was Frankie, I would just come in here and say "My name is Frank O'Connor. I ship games and shit cinderblocks, what do you people do?".

Boom. Roasted.

...myself...

 

[Devolution]

You guys in another room now or something, big's room doesn't even come up properly for me now in the XBC program.

 

[Reagan's BR]

Xbox connect is missing NPPTools.dll. I can't remember where to go to download this. I remember doing it on my old PC.

 

[squidhands]

Well if it looked anything like the CEA footage of 343GS...

it would still be a terrible map. Gorgeous, but terrible.

I actually enjoyed playing FFA with my wife and friends on it, but I agree it was a really, really bad map for anything else. Still better than Reach though, amirite? ;-)

Huh, you might be on to something. Not my favorite map by any means, but could be interesting.

I could go for some Cloud City, personally. Carbonite freeze area, and when you fall into the pit you get turned into Han Solo.

 

[Tashi]

Guardian was shit

 

[The Real Napsta]

Guardian was the shit

Fixed.

My snarkiness regarding that map is really just for its placement decisions (it only really applies to default Guardian). Overshield behavior and placement were a nightmare- that plus Maulers pre-removal basically killed all the appreciation that I had for the mostly well-designed layout.
