I have now joined the ranks of frustrated level 44 Force Colonels, only to lose a game and go back down to 43. Sadface.

I know It's been said many times before, but the spawns on new Narrows are completely broken. The old Narrows wasn't much fun for the losing team, but the new one is just a clusterfuck. I hope this is addressed in the August update.

The only things I want fixed in the patch are unwanted social party splitting and the reload glitch. Wouldn't it be awesome if we got some new gametypes or custom game options, though? I'd like the ability to make Three Plots, for example.
 
That recon site is really... sad. In 15 years, nobody who has ever visited that site will be playing the game or using recon armor. The lust for this piece of armor is strange and tells me bad things about future generations, to say the least.

I do admit, though, it made me thump my chest a bit to see so many GAFers there. It also reminded me... wtf happened to NJ x Falk0r?
 
Thanks Spasm and Voltron, I was able to successfully download the gamvee clips and make em into gifs.

If anyone wants their videos gif-ed I could probably help y'all out.

I don't get why people go crazy for the Recon armor. I mean, it looks cool and all but get over it. :lol

Bad people do bad things. Good people doing bad things to bad people is justice.

Bancannons at the ready!

PS. You'll liiiiiiiiike it, disgruntled.

Now Luke most draw the other new maps, and then we're good.

I actually think that I will be doing freehand sketches of new multiplayer stuff going forward. It was easy enough, and actually, my crappy drawing aside, was fun to do. And the desktop looks sweet on my work machine.

Have you ever reloaded rockets (or sniper, or any weapon, but mostly rockets), then tried to shoot and have the reload animation start all over again? If not, you're really lucky. It's killed me a bunch of times.

I don't really know the exact details of when it happens, but I think it's something to do with either cancelling the reload animation (greande toss, weapon switch, melee) or hitting the reload button when the automatic reload animation has just started. It's the only game-engine glitch of its type that I know of.

That's because it looks all blurry, after effects of the picnic beverage selection. Give it a few hours.

:p

Bummer. I have to admit, I'm not familiar with The Mitten.


Wow, it's some generic cubicle. :lol
I'm guessing The Mitten is a state north of Ohio.

As for the cubicle, I've got to say, if I had to sit in something that depressingly bare all day, I'd probably say no to great ideas like a scottish playlist too. I feel for the Bungie guys now.

My cube is exactly like it, only smaller.
 
We just got our asses handed to us in the podtacular tourny. Even with a one man advantage, we still got creamed.

Game one:

Game two:
http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo3.aspx?gameid=639965121&player=Finjitzu

Game three:
http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo3.aspx?gameid=639988879&player=Finjitzu

We were completely stunned xl HellFire lx got more kills than our entire team.

So we took a look at his game history and file share:

http://www.bungie.net/stats/PlayerStatsHalo3.aspx?player=xl%20HellFire%20lx&cus=1&ctl00_mainContent_bnetpgl_recentgamesChangePage=1

All the unreliable custom games time length are 0:00:00 and everyone but one player DNF's. Now, I'm assuming the player that finishes the map is host? Notice that Arc Blu is also in the games (another person on the opposite team).


Both Arc Blu and xl HellFire lx have the 'Host check' variant and map in their fileshare. Then I found this thread:

nice tut man... but when i do it i always get kicked off xbl... any suggestions?

nvm i just discovered u cant force host in ranked games ??? thanks anyway tho

From the same site:
Halo 3 Bridging & Standbying FAQ's:
http://www.se7ensins.com/forums/halo-3-glitches/97041-halo-3-bridging-and-standbying-faqs.html

It seems like Bungie has thwarted the host manipulation in match-making. Many users in these threads have been complaining about getting booted from xbl when trying it. But it may still work in custom games...

Oh and Gamevee works good:
Epic Rocket Shot

They really need to add or mix up the playlists. Add in Team Rifles. Add in Team Snipers (ranked; remove radar & remove Splasers). Add more variety in Team Objective (remove multi-sided games for one-sided maps; add Multi Flag, Assault, and Neutral Bomb to Snowbound; more and more things come to mind...).

That's just the maps...

You're asking too much of them.

I don't know anybody who honestly touches half of the playlists that are available now; this stuff is all great in theory, but you can't split up the userbase too much.

That really sucks, dude. But at least you know what happened and it wasn't just that y'all are no good at the game.

Remove Head to Head and add Team Snipers to the Hardcore Playlist. No?
 
I know someone said that Bungie supposedly fixed the "mega melee" problem, but earlier I got to do it twice in once match. I knocked'em clear across the room :D

They don't even have to add any new playlists IMO, just add some variety to the current ones. It makes no sense that we can't play a 1 Flag CTF or Assault game on Last Resort BTB for example.

Why do we need those when have have great gametypes like VIP and Big Team Slayer on the best slayer map in the game (Last Resort)
 
Why am I getting such bullshit lately? :lol

Since when do you get the overshield only to be killed by a hammer before your health meater even reaches 100%?
 
Yo, whats the problem with Halo 3 matchmaking nowadays? Everyone seems to lag each other out now. What's Bungie doing about this? There's so many people who have lagged my friend out in the past 2 days (I'm stayin at his).

I uploaded a video onto gamevee like 10 hours ago and it still hasnt appeared!

welps :(

My last video took a fairly long time as well. I think they're getting hammered :(

Also as a side note: I was browsing Firefox add-ons and came across Video Downlaod Helper.

I just tested it out on Gamevee and its so simple to use its ridiculous.

Only reason I'm mentioning it is that some of the videos are MP4 and some are .flv. The MP4 ones dont download when using the forgehub workaround here
 
Maybe these network attacks are going to be addressed by AU2? Maybe also we'll see people banned for extreme negative EXP records? Maybe?
 
I can't bring myself to read back three pages.

Did anyone ask or explain why there is a flame grenade indicator in the Purple Reign sketch?

Also, I am home semi-permanently now so let's play some Halo, Internet pals.

Check your email, I had a video fail to upload because I forgot to type a space in my gamertag once, you won't know it failed untill they try to record your video 2+ hours later.
 
That's right folks, sorry to let ya down, but Team Neogaf has given up the ghost. We finally lost in the Podtacular Tournament.
"Sad Face"

We we're beaten mercilessly by the one man army that was Hellfire on the enemey team. A team of 4 defeated by a team of 3. But it was really all Hellfire.
OfficialTeamNeogafBanner-1.jpg


But as the Neogaf motto states 'Believe' I Believe we we're cheated. Our opponent forced host and was more then likely equiped with one of these:

lagswitch.jpg


I thought to take photos/videos of the connection which is not monitored during a saved film, but too late did I think of this. On the last match 30 seconds from ending.

To say this man was nearly unkillable would be an understatement. I don't recall a time I ever killed him.

When host manipulates the connection my ISP reacts horribly giving me yellow and red for extended amounts of time. Thank you Bellsouth >:(

As my old Bungie forum signature use to say :

"Lag it's like magic... only better."

We will be filing a grievance. This is not OVER!!! >:(
 
First time trying this Gamevee thing, pretty darn neat service. Seems the sound becomes very compressed/low quality (at least on my video) but I can't complain.

Here's a cool banshee glitch(?) I filmed. Timan hijacks a banshee, flys it into a wall and loses half of it (causing it to become unable to fly) and it skids across the floor until blowing up on a trip mine :lol

I think one of their recording setups has some bad sound compression they need to fix, now and again a video will come out with such low quality audio.

Also with the power of bungie.net stats and neogaf, no cheater escapes the power of the banhammer! cheaters beware!

*edit* anyone who has the match saved in halo 3 please slap it up on gamevee for us to watch thanks :)

Yes indeed.
