I can get owned by a turret. But I'm a noob.
Just checked and in the last 25 games I've played, 15 of them had quitters...Thermite said:
Only 40% of the games weren't fucked up by fucking quitters! I hope the punishment for quitting is severe, waste of my time. And only 3 of those 25 games were BTB games which traditionally have even greater quit rates.
Edit: The turrets pretty strong and if they manage to catch you off gaurd it'll tear you put fast even at long range if you're pretty exposed. That said, they move so slow and you can almost pick them off without much effort if you poke your head out of cover or nade them.

Okay, I just got out of some Halo matches tonight. I am reminded how frustrating Halo can be.
- tons of quitters
- booster accounts
- people de-leveling by being afk in a match
I hope Bungie is addressing these problems. For one, if people quit out of a game while in the lobby, then go back and add more players until it's a full game! It's so stupid to have a game of 4v4, see 2 people on your team drop out, then get stuck in a 4v2 slaughter.
Shouldn't it also be obvious when people have "0 experience" and they're leveling?
I think the AFK thing is the trickiest. There's got to be a way to kick somebody without waiting for them to betray you, but obviously you don't want people to just kick others for no reason. But man is it frustrating when a person is standing there, not moving, or maybe just running into the enemy without shooting so that they die. It's even more frustrating when they're talking to you the whole time and there's nothing you can do about it.

Just checked my games. 18 of my last 40 matchmade games featured a quit, although quite a few of those were a single quit in a game of 6v6 or higher, and three of them were in FFA games, and so the quit was beneficial (in most cases).
Maybe it plagues higher-level games more? Almost none of those games were ranked.

Iknos this may sound stupid, but you are using the BR right? I only ask because when I play Halo with certain friends they dont even know what the BR is. If your using the BR a turret really shouldnt be that much of a problem.
Do you lot have some secret strategy for using the thing?
P.S. There are a lot of quitters these days, which just has the side effect of me being 4v1 - if this happens on something like Citadel I just quit, that map is aweful 4v1, they can spawn trap the hell out of you.

Well, in Reach, there won't be a difference between ranked and unranked... But The Arena will give you the tiers. Perhaps you can't play Arena at all without first playing a certain amount of non-Arena?timetokill said:

So I could get 4 sniper kills, shoot a fusion coil with a carbine, get an other kill from the fusion coil, get a 5th sniper kill, and get a sniper spree? :lol

They've said before that it'd take far too much effort to change the caching system that Halo 3 uses.Silly.Mikey said:
So I assume that nothing has changed, it'll have the same issues that the current installation has.

That sucks.
So..............................Map reveal today??
On another note I played some Halo 2 last night for the first time since Summer of 2007 and it was a blast. Whoever said it on this forum that The Pit would be just an average map on Halo 2 nailed it. I played games on both Sanctuary and Colussus and dam I forgot just how good those maps were. It just felt amazing using the BR compared to the dumbed down version in Halo 3 as well. It sounds like Bungie is really focusing on bringing the magic back from Halo CE in regards to the campaign for Reach. I hope on the MP side of things they bring back the magic from Halo 2. I'm not bitching about Halo 3 either as it is my favorite and most played Xbox 360 game. I was just kinda blown away last night to how well Halo 2 actually still holds up some 6 years after launch on a 10 year old console.

Well considering Bungie is first and foremost a business and likes to make money one would think that each individual map would get a different gaming website to cover each one. I'm sure each gaming website would like their own day for each map rather then all the maps getting revealed at once. I also think map reveals are pretty big and important news so I'd expect the big dogs like IGN and Gamespot to cover this weeks stories.

I played Halo 2 about a week or so ago and I could really only stand a couple of games of it before I stopped playing. To me, it doesn't hold up in the slightest, especially when you put it next to Halo 3. It makes me wonder why I played Halo 2 as long as I did given the atrocious weapon balancing and all the annoying glitches.Wizman23 said:
On the subject of quitters, I expect the problem to worsen as Reach's release draws nearer because less and less people will be inclined not to care about what they do in Halo 3 with Reach so close.

Oh yeah, Reach GTTV next week?
Hopefully they show good stuff unlike Reach's last GTTV appearance where they didnt show/say anything new.
Dax01 said:
I could care less about weapon balancing since I suck at the game and didn't notice any glitches, and if someone did BXR me or whatever the hell other button glitches they are I wouldn't even notice. All I care about is having fun, and my time with Halo 2 was indeed fun.

I'm a little late to the turret talk but I'd like to offer up the following video:

I'm not normally one to pick up a turret but this particular game was getting a little boring (couple guys on the other team had quit). I convinced my whole team to wait for a turret to spawn on valhalla and then charge their spawn.
