Ignore the level thing beside your name and play regardless > customs! I played well past burnout point last night, dropped from 1 win away from 17 to the bottom of a 15. IT FELT GREAT! the levels are easy to get back up now as well, it's weird.

whats Cov 1 flag CTF zanzibar? Is that with covenant weapon set? never played it, what's so bad?
Yeah warlock should be slayer only, even then I don't like it very much, to much instant spawn and get pinged in the head by elevated battle rifle.
Oh and wankers can throw the bomb on top of the bomb spot in warlock so you can't get it down (or it's difficult anyway) and then, when you call them a jerk, they will call you a british wanker, even though that is as far away as you can get from NZ before you start coming back. (that last bit might be a rant)
Yeah there is a couple bung gametypes (neutral bomb took me ages to figure out who was bombing what on Turf, not sure if I like it or hate it yet) but it's mostly pretty good.
I have yet to play double team, how is it? Camp fest?

Double Team is probably the best thing bungie came up with, save the shitty gametypes like multi-flag CTF. You basically whore the power weapons and rape the other team. A bit like head to head but you can rely on your partner and i kind of like the emphasis on individual talent.

Are the double team CTF games, MultiFlag or Classic. Classic CTF 2v2 can be pretty fun if the respawn times are set right.

1 Flag CTF Cov is indeed with covenant weapons. However (I've only played it on Headlong but Zanzibar may be different), they give you freaking Wraiths!! I have yet to see the defense succeed in a round through 5 games. Pretty much once the flag hits the front of the base (let's face it, not that hard) score one for the attacking team.
Nutter said:Yeah WTF were bungie thinking leaving the banshee in
if they wanted the banshee in they should have at the very least give you plasma's on spawn.
Yeah we played that game type the other day. They got the banshee first, but flew too low, I boarded it and didn't die the entire round and we raped.
Poor kids.
That would work only if the entire other team is NOT playing, as when the entire team is trying to shoot down the banshee the three on the other team can just ambush you and kill everyone.Ramirez said:

No pink, you just need to get better at functioning like a zombie. priorities dude!Lancelet Pink said:
Seriously, team rifles on Ascension GAWD that is broken, we shot the wings off that thing pretty quickly and this fucking indestructible core was just flying around pissing everybody off the whole game. The guy only got 5 kills, but he was responsible for at least 20 assists, scored in post game or not. In the end I was just spawning and emptying my battle rifle at that banshee everytime. No go. You can empty a clip on it, then the guy can just fly down under the map, recharge his shield and come back up. It's such a massive distraction that it makes you easy kills for the other team. I was even targeting the fins at the back of the banshee, still no luck. Fuming after that game I was.
We won on neutral bomb warlock though, despite one of the opposing team absolutley raping us in kills He had something like 40/22 next highest was 25ish with everyone on our team scoring that. Absolutely everyone on the map had more deaths than kills except that 1 guy. It's very hard to organise anything on warlock, best I can figure is 1 of your team has to get into the bombsite without the bomb and sort of "defend it" before the rest of your team gets there and plants.

Ramirez said:Isn't there Plasma Grenades on Rifles?The Banshee is extremely easy to stick
haha, not that you start with you have to find them first...... It would be easy-ish to stick if the guy is right in your face, but this guy was shooting from miles away and generally cruising the map from out of reach, enough to keep taking off bits of your shield. coupled with a few brs in the head =

Actually double team is heavily weighted to the team that controls the power weapons. So if that team is conservative/doing well there's nothing the other team can do. Especially with both snipers and rockets on Ascension. Not to take anything away from those fine gentlemen that won

That explains everything, It happened to me but I never lose that bad
That wasnt my intention either, we all know how good bennett and ram areduderon said:Actually double team is heavily weighted to the team that controls the power weapons.

but when the other team had 1; count it (1) kill then there was more to it then just controlling the weapons.edit: looking closely they had 3 kills, but score shows 1. meaning they SUCK! :lol

damn I'm starting to tire of halo as it now appears that 3 games out of every five are either ruined by lag or some dickhead betrayal jerkoff......
Been gravitating back to the XBL side of Halo 2 since the updates, and Turf just kicks all kinds of ass. Unfortunately one of my friends accidentally de-registered me out of the clan and now I'm floating around clanless. Still fun though, especially the no-radar head to head (THANK FUCKING GOD).
Here's a belated 'Good show chaps' to Bungie. Now hurry up and get those other maps out.

I concur.
Is anyone getting generally worse network performance out of halo now? Since the patch, I'm noticing much more lag and 80% of the time the xbox goes nuts when I try and ride a grav lift, and about 25 % of the time the sword performs unusually. Despite having a full green connection.
I find this link in OA that is quite useful for the ranking whores:

it explains in great detail the ranking sytem in Halo 2.

VGL tournament in Columbus, OH. Let's just say my second FFA i had 1 and 2 in the same game, 6 man FFA, dude am cry
.Funny thing was half the people there were oblivious to who they were because they dropped the "OGRE" surname and just went by "1" and "2". Good learning experience, tournaments are a whole different ballgame.
