sloppy ass extermination in Throwback today http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=106938020&rfilm=106938159

almost got to 30 in Throwback. According to that skill graph thing there were 48s and 49s playing this afternoon which is nuts in a playlist with 7 people in it.

I'm a 38 in it, got it like a week after the list came out, and it's literally impossible to get a game...

Who are the nerds buying these 50 accounts 3 years into the game, that is what I want to know. It's freaking pathetic and I hope Bungie gets rid of "rank" as we know it in Halo 3, it has completely ruined ranked games.

Eazy, you make no sense, the last thing I want to do is play a Bungie FPS with a Dualshock controller.

I've got a 360 controller adapter. It means I could use that while everyone else fumbles around with the DS which is only a bonus for me.

Meanwhile you'd be sitting on a useless copy of New IP 2 while you wait for your broken Xbox 720 to be returned.

Map room :D Then security, and I was like "oh shit two hunters fuck fuck fuck fuck" and I stuck one like 3 times and it didn't die, wasted the last of my pistol ammo, and finally took it down with an AR, then realized there was still another one alive so I just bailed out. It was awesome.
2 hunters? 2 one shot kills with the pistol. Easiest enemy in the game.

Haha which this video at 2:34 exactly shows. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRSdZMHZ2IE

Whatever, it's not a big deal anyways, because everyone knows that New IP 1 was better in every way than New IP 2. Now, the E3 trailer for New IP 2? Shit was real.

Kapura, for future reference, here is true Flood Containment protocol: M6D. Left arm. Right arm. Sidekick acquired. Rinse. Repeat.

Also, I'm pretty sure Cocop's pants would be fitting tightest if Sai-kun had said map room first, warthog through the door before it could close, then right down onto the overshield. Ascertaining a control room location is not the sort of mission objective that gives Master Chief occasion to pick daisies and wade in the waves.

So I started playing through Halo: Combat Evolved on PC on Heroic. I'm terrible at it. I'm on the mission where you pull a fatality on Keyes so you can cock the casbah but I'm at the bit at the beggining where you're going through the glowing pools of pfhor goo coolant and there are like a billion covenant fighting like two billion flood, and I keep running out of shotgun ammunition, finding out the sniper sucks ass against the flood, and getting immediately targeted any time I enter a room. Any tips?
No pools, no AR (or any other gun play), and no AI in the cut scene!

To answer your question, when you see a 2 way battle you can usually skip by without being noticed as long as you do not shoot (except in corridors). The AI is more likely to respond to an enemy who is firing a weapon. If that doesn't work try clearing out an area, then move to the next area to initiate the next 2 way battle, then back track and let them soften the area by fighting it out for a while. Make your stand near a corner or choke point and let them bring the fight to you. In this area the Covies seem to stay put until dead so focus on the Flood who are not battling Covies.

And use the Shotty/AR or Shotty/Needler combos. There is plenty of Needler and AR ammo.

Why? I can't even begin to imagine how someone could justify $150 dollars for a Halo account. It's not like a WoW account where you can buy your way into raids with gear, you have the exact same stuff as everyone else, the only difference being a level 50 in whatever playlist. Which when that person goes into said playlist with that level and gets destroyed, it only makes them look that much more stupid.

I just don't get it...

Yea, it boggles my mind. I also got an offer from a guy was an MLG 50 already but wanted to be a 5 star in the playlist without doing all the work. It's pretty nuts. I remember Recon accounts used to sell for almost 1,000$ That's just fucking insane.
 
Is this really Halo 3 during alpha?

Must have felt pretty stupid when ODST released and everyone could get it. :lol

Looks like Halo 3's best map has come a long way. Yeah I remember seeing The Pit from the alpha build in the earlier vidoc, the map looks exactly the same layout wise but every piece of geometry was a shade of place-holder brownish puke green.

Makes me want to see what the other maps looked like at their earlier stages of development.

Awesome games tonight folks.

I know a lot of you guys hated on him for signing every post with the infamous ~B.B, but I just found out that he passed away yesterday morning due to complications from an infection. Pay your respects here if you want. I was fortunate enough to play a few games with him and got to know him more through H3ITWP, but now I wish I knew him better. The guy was a newlywed, too, so my heartfelt condolences to his wife and family.

EDIT: Found an Average Joe writeup about him.

Wow. That is wayyyyy too young of an age.

My prayers go out to him and his family.

Really seems quite dumb now that some of us gave him a hard time for signing his posts. I dunno if I can ever get mad at someone with a signature again. :(

Wow. I've argued with the guy for over two years now, from back when I used to frequent Optimatch regularly. Shows how meaningless internet forum wars are in the grand scheme of things..

"C'est trop jeune." Thoughts out to the family and friends. =(
 
Wow... I cannot believe that..

RIP <3

Edit: Well I woke up at 5:30AM this morning since Emily is going to the Womans Gold Medal Snowboarding event... I assumed I would fall back asleep, but since I am up I guess I could play some Halo. Perhaps get some montage worthy clips ;).

Anyone care to join me, you'll know where to find me.

Pretty shitty to go out so suddenly, so young, and newly wed.

Definitely had my scuffles with him but my best wishes go out to his friends and family.

Wow such horrible news about BB. That write up on b net about him really showed what a great human being he was. He was a good poster on here as well I always liked what he had to say. To think that some of you put him on ignore because he signed his posts is truly PATHETIC and just shows how pathetic some of you are in real life. RIP BB, you will be missed.
 
Wow, not how I wanted to start my friday off today. Seemed like a nice guy and I didn't really mind that he signed all of his posts because he didn't post too often. RIP

And one last thing for him...

Did you really have to include a useless insult in that post? That was completely unnecessary.

Don't worry, he'll regret it once one of us passes.

I thought the exact same thing. Using someone's death as a means to put down someone else? Come on...

Wow man - just for the fact that I recognise the guy by his name, avatar and signature tugged at my heart a bit...

Rest in peace, condolances to his friends and family.

I've never had a problem with him signing his initials after every post, and I don't hate anyone that hated on him for it either, it's not like anyone could tell that he'd pass away from an infection...

One more for the road:

Man that's terrible. Guess it says alot about him that I immediately knew who he was from his avatar.

Thoughts go out to those close to him, so sad to see something that young go.

I never knew this fella, but reading his story then seeing you guys signing your posts like he did as a homage is pretty touching.

Wow, that's really sad news. He was a great guy and always willing to engage anyone in conversation over b.net or here on gaf, and he always had a great attitude whenever we got together on Halo. RIP "~BB", you will be missed.

That's really sad. We may have given the guy flak for his signature, but his posts were always great and he was a really nice guy. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

Should we be expecting a weekly update today?

Man thats some sad news about BezerkerBarage. I always liked seeing his name, it always reminded my of Marvel VS Capcom 2's Wolverine, he was my favorite character back in the days, his name always brought back the nostalgia everytime. I truly do not understand the hate for his sig. Just for BB we should all initial our sigs atleast once.

DM

EDIT: just read the Average Joe, the reason i likes his name the same reason he chose his name.

It was completely unnecessary the way he was treated on this forum and always struck a nerve with me how immature some of you "adults" treated him. Maybe my post will make some of you lighten up and grow up a bit and realize that life is too short to treat people like pieces of shit because you never know what life is going to throw at you. This place would be a heck of a lot better if it were filled with more people like BB. Hopefully there is Halo in Heaven for BB. He deserves it. RIP my friend.

Dude just because he passed away (RIP) it doesn't make his actions less annoying. Nobody is making a deal of this except you so just let it go, it's not important. Just let people say what they need to say and take that shit somewhere else.

Screw you man, signatures are stupid, I'll judge people how I see fit. But of course I wouldn't wish death on anyone over the internet.

Can't check the links at work, how young was he?

RIP man.

Can anyone check to see if Berserker Barage has any clips in his fileshare that we could use? I think that would be a good way to pay tribute.

EDIT: Although I thought it was weird to see him sign his name, I wasn't part of the hatin' bandwagon. I guess this really goes to show how close this community is regardless if we disagree on certain things. Here's to you, BB.
