So, roughly how many hours until the servers shut?

I'm currently in Australia, where it is 5pm on April 14th. If I recall correctly, this means that it's 12am Bungie time on April 14th.

Will the servers shut down in 24 hours?

Im going to be going in and out of matchmaking and custom games since my friends want to play. Also I think later on in the day when we all start doing match making, we should set up teams for that.

Could you NOT keep posting your list this often? I mean you can wait until a new page or something, you have like 5 or 6 posts on this page alone just you updating a list.

Oh shit, so I do. Sorry about that. I keep checking this as I get breaks in games. :lol

I'll hold off for a bit.

Often, considering most people only refresh threads quickly if they're engaged in a discussion or if news is breaking.

Oh. I guess I read threads weird then. I generally just check the latest post, and if it's talking about something I don't really care about I don't bother reading the rest of the page. :lol

Works well for this thread. Whenever something new is shown, the next 3-5 pages are only about that. :lol

You're just made because you weren't cut out to be on the list.

And you guys deserved every single sMG start you guys got for ignoring Ram and I.

I really didn't mind starting with SMGs, at first. But then once you get a few games in a row that have you start with BR, then switch back to SMGs, it sucks. :lol

Especially for maps like Headlong. We got SMG starts, playing assault, and there are barely any BRs heading into the base.

Man I miss the Veto system. Last game: Team Shotguns on Turf :(

Oh well, tomorrow should be better. I did get randomly matched against bs angel in BTB so that was kind of neat.

Right folks, the Halo 2 stuff is a bit overboard, why not create a new thread for it? It's the final day of Halo 2 online and I'm pretty sure that itself warrants a LTTP thread or whatever.

You can post lists all you want in that thread too.

I am still curious what this "visual flair" in Reach is, that we get from playing Halo 2.
Click to expand...

Is it just me, or is the shield effect in Halo 2 very akin to what has been shown so far for Reach?

Yesterday as I was playing I couldn't figure out if the game actually resembled Reach (in a strict way I mean, of course it's similar, it's Halo), or if I was just hallucinating in the anticipation for the beta. xD

I believe the bnet blog has specified that the effect in Reach is attempting to emulate the effect in Halo:CE. Shields popping and all that. I don't know how CE differs from 2 since I never played CE much.

Yeah I remember reading that. I was referring to the visual aspect of it, that yellow light (the color is always the same throughout the series, but still). Though it's not just that; there's something lingering in the visuals that directly connects Halo 2 to Reach.

It felt like already playing the beta...

God, my life is ruined. Damn love you Bungie xD

Good games tonight guys. I should have won that 3v1 match. Oh well, I'll get it next time. :D I wish that big party would have stayed together, I was having a lot of fun on the Coagulation match before everyone ditched.

Reason: Cocop and Voc. Game stealers. haha

Also, count me into the list! I'm in for some H2 action:

It's finally complete. Not a chopper montage, but more A Love Letter to the Chopper.

Link to the video without music for when/if the audio gets cut on my many copyright infringing soundtracks.

Forget you've ever seen Bladed's montage and forgive all aspects of the production value, both visual and audio.

Fucking brilliant :lol Those songs.... perfect! I can't believe you have so many chopper clips.

I suck with the chopper so this is amazing to watch for me. Nice work Mr B

Chopper video makes me depressed because of how easy it apparently is to splatter people on the other side of the Atlantic.

Half of the splatter kills in that would take down shields at best in a game I played.

Amongst every other possible way of killing people.
The Atlantic renders everything useless, might as well throw cans of beans at 'em. :(

My only consolation is they wouldn't last two games in my shoes before ragequitting, as evidenced by kylej's furious posts about those rare occasions when someone in e.g. France gets host.

Dude, the last bit of that was frakking hilarious! Nicely done and great choice of music
except the Boyz II Men
.

I should be on H2 this evening, but I don't know for how long. Played a little bit last night; it's a real bummer that H2 doesn't have Theatre Mode.

Heh, the same always used to happen to me, and i would always seem to die to the merest of touches from an enemy vehicle, especially Ghosts :p

A little late also, but very nice work on the GAF montage bladed, i enjoyed watching it :D

The worst is when someone is charging at you in a vehicle and you jump/dodge it at the right time on your screen but then die a second later -_-
