I just got back from my first Halo Reach LAN. All I can say is wow, the game plays so much better on LAN.

Damn I missed customs :/
On another note... I just started watching my roommate play Deus X, this looks like an amazing game.

Its like carrying the turret around in Halo
For the whole game
What the fuck is up with the skipping that goes on in Reach? It happens in Halo 3 as well. You know, where it just like freezes four times and you can't do shit for like 10 seconds. If it happens to the host, everyone lags. Well that shit happened to me in Gamebattles match tonight and it caused me to be the final death and we lost the game. We went on to lose the whole series too. I was probably the most mad I've been at Reach ever. It always comes at the worst fucking time.
Halo 4 requests:
Fix that shit I posted above
Make it so grenades can't be shot in midair. It's 100% luck
Make it so flag poles can't get in the way of my bullets, grenades or rockets. That shit happens to me all the time. It makes me so mad.

Uh, you should be picking up Gears 3 regardless.
I've decided that trying to figure out what will be worthy of my time or not is too much trouble, so I'll just be buying everything popular coming out and then play whatever I feel like, or what I get invited to by friends and switch to something else if that's not grabbing me. Not buying MW3 though.

I think those freezes are just Xbox's chugging on the game, and if the host has it, everyone lags. Sucks, and it has been happening in a lot of MP shooters I play.
Never had that happen to me in Halo 3.Tashi0106 said:
I thought it was some kind of install issue with Reach for me cause it started happening ever since I installed Reach.
That said, I even have a recording: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQfcbCHWUUQ
The replay film did not "replay" it the same way that it actually happened, however.

I don't know what it is about Halo, but I get too invested in the experience when I play.GhaleonEB said:
I can hop on Call of Duty all day and not get frustrated. It's probably because everyone who plays CoD is taking bong rips out of a rusty car muffler, wearing a blindfold and using their testes to work the second joystick. It takes zero skill to shove your Stinger up someone's Skidrow in CoD, compared to Halo where everyone needs to work together before maximum donging can occur.
Somehow, I feel that wasn't harsh enough. Note to self: Try harder.

I was going to purchase Gears 3 all along, but now that the TU looks so good and that its coming this month, I'm having second thoughts about getting Gears because I know that I'm not going to play it much with Reach TU, CEA, BF3, and Skyrim.

The rage, it lives deep within Tashi.
Yeah, when I play objective I do get sucked in. Mostly I expect my team mates to understand some very simple, basic things and it drives me bonkers when they illustrate they don't. Things like: when someone is carrying our flag, go help him. Or, when someone is taking our flag, try to stop them. Or, when the enemy is sending multiple vehicles toward our base, try to stop them. Playing offense and/or defense, that sort of thing.Hitmonchan107 said:
Instead I see people jetpacking into the sky, dudes hanging around the middle of Highlands, snipers taking up low positions, players betraying each other for rockets, our flag carrier has people blow past him in vehicles, the base gets abandoned as the other team swarms in, and so on.
And don't get me started about what I saw trying Firefight Limited for the first time in ages tonight. 0_0

so um can I get an invite next time?
So I've been playing a bunch of Squad Slayer lately, and for some reason I've just been doing really awesome (by my standards at least >.>) and it got me thinking about how skill levels and stats and stuff are being tracked. Since I've played about 2500 games since last September, I've reached a point where it takes an incredibly long time to improve my K/D, BPR, or anything. I feel like this is soemthing that happens in any game after someone has been playing for long enough, when your current stats are held back by how shitty you used to be when you first started playing.
So what if stats like highest skill and K/D were tracked on a sort of rotating scale based on your more recent games, sort of like Arena Seasons, but instead of resetting every few months, your old stats are constantly being cycled out as you play? Say that after you've played a certain number of games, your skill levels are based onthe most recent 20%-40% of your games. Your skill wouldn't be represented based on how you've been playing recently, but you would still have to maintain your stats long-term.
Just something I've been thinking about recently, after realizing that my BPR on Waypoint has changed by exactly 1 number since that stat had beer rolled out months ago.
