Support NeoGAF

[The Librarian]

Because you're going to be needing the warranty on the old HDD, why?

No, for the new Xbox.

Needless to say, we don't recommend this route for a variety of reasons... we hear Microsoft's warranty support service doesn't take kindly to freely bouncing hard drives.

The whole, "Play with Gamers across the World!" bullshit that Microsoft has been touting since XBL's inception is nonsense. I don't want to play with people with connections over 150 ping. I wish I could pick which region to play in, it would be the Continental US, and US West specifically almost all the time. Also, just show me the damn ping of the people in the game or game I am about to join instead of the colored bars that aren't consistent across all games and don't tell you enough. It's all ambiguous to hide how laggy games really are.

Just click the "Good Connection" box installed by Bungie. Oh wait there's no code behind it. Those are fake ass buttons y'all.

Wouldn't be surprised if this was true but is there any actual evidence that these preferences make a difference? Or is kylej just being kylej?

 

[kylej]

juices first theorized that the Good Connection, Skill, whatever buttons are fake. I believe it. That's some superficial nonsense right there. The buttons do nothing! Wake up, people!

Nah they do something. Make matchmaking times longer

 

[Steelyuhas]

I cannot see what data I'm transferring because my older Xbox doesn't show video. It's broken. I can't use a USB because I don't have another Xbox on which to use the hard drive and that will show video. I can't stick the USB into my older Xbox and transfer data when I can't select the data I want to transfer.

I appreciate the help you guys. I already went out and bought one anyway.

Aye, didn't think of that.

 

[FyreWulff]

So, I assume the Halo sale starts tomorrow on Live?

Any prices leaked yet?

 

[The Librarian]

Speaking of my new Xbox, who is interested in a download code for a full version of Reach? I think it includes all the map packs (even those from Anniversary).

No. And you meant today. It's Dec. 27 already. (It's 3:40am!)

Can't wait to finally nab Mythic II for Halo 3, I've heard great things about those maps.

 

[Domino Theory]

OH SNAP.

Yeah, I habitually put good connection on, but it doesn't do anything so I don't know why I even bother.

I vouch that good connection on average gave me more stable games, where as without it I faced Uganda's finest players.

just imagine if you put BAD connection on!

Check your PM's.

 

[Louis Wu]

Thought I'd post up a fileshare clip for entertainment purposes.

Lucky... so lucky.

Dayum.

I just went 14-0 in Anniversary Squad... and stuck a guy as the last kill was made. (he blew up during the 'Game Over!') Bummer.

In Halo 3 that Good Connection button was the superhighway to said Ugandan players

 

[Tashi]

Do we know how fast you can shoot the DMR with Zero bloom? I feel like I don't shoot it fast enough.

 

[darthbob]

Well I'm feeling generous tonight.

Does anyone from HaloGAF require an Anniversary Map Pack code and/or Grunt Funeral Skull?

 

[Booshka]

Well I'm feeling generous tonight.

Does anyone from HaloGAF require an Anniversary Map Pack code and/or Grunt Funeral Skull?

I would like the Map pack code.

 

[The Real Napsta]

I think that voids the warranty.

lol how would they even know you did it?

 

[KidA Seven]

Ogre's CE Winter WonderLAN is starting soon. They're already playing. Players at the lan: Ogre 2, Nistic, Mantrain, FearItSelf, Towey, Roy, Lunchbox, Callmegod, Elamite, Ace, and a couple of local friends.

Wow CallMeGod, haven't heard that name in a while.

I'd like to put my name down for a skull, but only if nobody else asks for it.

 

[Hey You]

Posting on a website where game industry people, including from Microsoft could tip them off.

Choke of the Day - #4

One of these videos will be an overkill lol

I love your Chokes of the Day!

 

[Slightly Live]

Halo One Day Only Day Live Sale is up.

Spartan avatar armor, Reach Noble Team Theme, Reach Anchor 9 theme, Noble Map Pack, Defiant Map Pack, GOD (2400 MSP)


All other stuff all half off.

 

[FyreWulff]

30$ to go discless?

Eh.. I'll think about it

 

[malfcn]

Thinking about one of the map packs. But I stink at Halo at none of my friends play anymore.

 

[AlmostMilk]

30$ to go discless?

Eh.. I'll think about it

Think about not. They go up on other websites for less than $15 all the time. Just be on the lookout.

I'd rather Bungie get royalties from buying it off Live than line the pockets of shady sites that more than likely got the codes for free.

 

[Slightly Live]

Bungie getting monies per each copy sold on Live? Don't see that happening.

Like that is even up to debate.

Nintendo be killin' it.

 

[KidA Seven]

I'm just watching Ogre 2 lan CE and seeing all these little tricks that he does to give him an advantage amazes me. On Hang em' High, for example, he threw a nade at rockets, it flew, hit a pillar, and lands where he's at (him, rockets, and pillar formed a right triangle).

This is what makes people want to watch games being played by pros. They see things that amazes them. Now a days, the only thing you can be amazed by is shooting skill with a sniper.

It's funny how people claim the pistol is over powered as well. I see him using plasma rifle, AR, rockets, shotgun, sniper, and of course the pistol. 3 shot kills don't even happen that often and this is probably the 2nd best CE player ever.

Please, Fronkie, save us!

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Happy Bday Gui!

 

[kylej]

Please, Fronkie, save us!

You're asking the guy who thinks BXB is equivalent to high-level fighting game combos to save competitive Halo. It'll be another AR bonanza cause hey, the AR is balanced during 343 playtesting!

 

[HiredN00bs]

lol how would they even know you did it?

Signs of stress on the connector? Can't you use the shell the slim HDD came in?

[Gabotron ES]

Can we expect some meaty details on January's matchmaking update this wednesday?

 

[erpg]

No, for the new Xbox.

Buy a 360 hard drive case enclosure, or just do what I did and prop up the top and bottom with rubber pads (in my case, extra in-ear buds I had lying around). A spindle hard drive can take the 'beating' of a stationary device.

Club Nintendo Rewards >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> XBL Achievements. Wow.

Got my 2011 Nintendo Pin Collection for going Platinum this year. So awesome. Pins!

 

[The Librarian]

I've got two requests so far for the Reach GoD. Anybody else?

 

[LosDaddie]

Aw man, I was hoping the CEA map pack would go on sale

 

[ncsuDuncan]

Aw man, I was hoping the CEA map pack would go on sale

It went on sale November 15th.

$15 for seven maps was a pretty good deal to begin with.

(Not the answer you were looking for, but I doubt we'll see that price drop anytime soon.)

 

[StalkerUKCG]

So that halo 4 info?

 

[Hypertrooper]

So that halo 4 info?

See you in 2012?

Aw man, I was hoping the CEA map pack would go on sale

If I lived in America, you would have a code in your PM inbox. unfortunately I don't live in the US and can't buy them.
