The Halo 3 Beta Thread

How about owning people, and then saying, "good game."

It is an alternative and it doesn't make your throat spasm when you say it.
Heck, I get owned regularly and say "good game" to the guys doing the owning after every single game. (Except the douches that used standby. I told them to **** off.)

Even getting owned is fun in this game. I've never enjoyed getting dominated so much.

(Well, except that one time....)

People, and I mean all people, not just MLG players, who use the glitches, have an inherent, unplanned advantage. If everyone in the game agrees it is fair, then have at it and enjoy.

Then we're all in agreement. Now answer my question!

Personally I think its fun to kill and rape people. You gonna ****ing take away my fun!?

Such idiotic logic.

What is with you people and bad analogies? :lol

5 lazrs in a row to my face. It was horrible.

The glitches do offer an advantage, but they would beat him otherwise.

"Then why use them at all if they could beat him anyway?"

It's fun.

Yeah, it's totally fun to lose any possible sense of satisfaction I might possibly get out of getting a couple kills and not getting TOTALLY humiliated because I got BXR'd and didn't get the kill because of it (which has happened and I can even recall specific instances). The total lack of simple comprehension some people are having here is amazing and is totally justifying the hate MLG people get.

Karma Kramer said:
Sailor tommorrow I will be on if you want to play. Been busy the past week so I haven't been playing much.

I haven't been on much either so no big deal. Early afternoon I'll be out, but I should be on sometime in the afternoon (EST). I'll probably have my friend over and we'll both be playing so if we're on drop me a line.

See, this is the point. Even when I get totally destroyed by the other team for whatever reason (my fault or maybe my team's fault or whatever) I always tell the other team good game, unless they were talking total trash or something. Hell, in Halo 3 now when it happens I go check out their videos and see how they play, and a lot of the really good people I've played against have been really cool. But if you're going to cheat/exploit/whatever you want to call it on TOP of completely destroying me, robbing me of the tiny fighting chance I have, then talk shit...you get a bad rep just like MLG gets from a lot of people.

Are you apart of their "association..?"

no definitly not.

i just used to play a ton of MLG customs, and then played a ton of team hardcore. BXBs and BXRs in just about every single game i played in team hardcore.

Rattlehead: It's an extremely well known fact that you lose 2 RP if you don't finish a match (quit out before it's over). Try it yourself if you don't believe me. It's possible what he meant by that post was that you CAN lose RP, but you don't lose what you gained with the RP, which in my case would be the Captain ranking. I'm not sure, that was the point of my post :P. It is possible to lose RP, it happened to me 3 games in a row where the game lagged me and a friend out each time but it counted as a quit :( I was pissed because I had 99 RP and it dropped me to 93, and I had only been 1 RP away from 100 which gives you whatever rank (Lt I think).
I did try it, I just quit 4 games in a row and my RP didn't drop once. Try it yourself ;)
 
SailorDaravon said:
Niiiice. I've come 1 or 2 kills away from it like a bajillion times. One time I actually GOT it, but the game completely lagged out and so there's no record of it :(

I was lucky enough that the game let me save the film. Now I just have to reassemble my desktop with the capture card in it. :lol

Isn't there one for 30 or something ridiculous?

I don't know if there is, but I've seen that done before
to our team :(

Uh, I did. Did you read my post? :lol

http://gruntsrus.com/viewpage.php?page_id=60

How RP are assigned:
Free for all:

* Top half (win): +1
* Lose: 0
* Quit: -2

Team:

* Winning team: +1
* Losing team: 0
* Quit: -2

If this is not true then every single fansite is wrong, and I want an explanation as to how me and a friend both lost 6 RP that we specifically tracked as going down after each lag out.
 
Okay, I just quit out of a Rumble Pit game. I lost ONE RP point (158 to 157), and on top of that both my Service Record and Player Details state my highest skill rank is 20, but my highest is still only 19, I haven't had anything at 20 or higher for about 3 hours. I don't even know at this point, I'm going to go to sleep and let you guys figure it out :lol

It occurs to me that everyone is reporting the -2, maybe that was a glitch or something they've patched since the day the beta came out or something (this was a few days after launch that this happened to me). Doesn't explain the -1 RP and the skill rank thing that just happened, but I'm willing to write that off to delays between their systems or a glitch or something. I've noticed often that there's a slight delay between your Service Record and your regular Player Details screen (one will update w/your new RP right away, the other takes a minute or two to reflect it).
 
Jeez... finally confirmation that B-Crouch-R works... and I'm glad that Bungie knows of it now too...

MaX_PL, (and thekad), enough with justifying this glitch-crap already please - it's been done already in the thread, don't bring it up anymore...

It's like you're brainwashed into this mentally, so it's not like you're going to change your mind anyways...

And I believe what Stinkles meant by not losing XP is the actual number of games, as I know people that quit (damn the quitters) do lose RP points...

I think you're right about the -1 RP, i just checked mine again and it has since dropped, not sure why it took so long to update tho (5 games later).

They are merely fulfilling the prophecy.

If the other players do not agree, or do not know about it, then it is cheating. And everybody knows it is. So you're advocating cheating because it is fun for the cheats.
Good. A solid statement. I guess it does put out an unfair advantage. Back to matchmaking then!:)

you missed a part to agree with.

Not that I should even be playing a custom game, but just to let the Bungie guys know.... when damage resistance is turned on to invulnerable and you go past those boundary turrets (danger zones?) on Snowbound they don't kill you. Same when vehicles are set to indestructible.
 
If I ever got this MaX_PL fellow in a scrum, I would violently fishhook his butthole and while he was writhing around in a bloody pool of his own buttblood shrieking "why, God, why?!" I would answer simply, "it's fun."

I always say GG, even if there are some dicks in the game, because the rest of the guys aren't dicks. For the dicks I just submit a review and move on.
 
Has this been discussed yet? I didn't see anything.

So what's up with Max PL? I stop paying attention to this thread to watch the Cavs game, and when I come back there's some sort of problem with him.
 
MaX_PL said:
i dunno stinkles, lately ive been called a "big fat american hamburger loser" or " you only won cause you have no life".

kinda hard to respond with good game.

It's called being the better person

I only talk shit when someone is cheating, like this one VIP game on valhalla where the VIP got out of the map, and we still killed his dumb ass. Do you and your MLG friends think getting out of the map is a valid tactic, since it's a skill not everyone has? I mean, bungie left that hole in the invsible wall, so it CAN'T be cheating right?

And as for the pistol BXR or whatever, I don't see what the big deal is. Bungie obviously knows about it now, and for all we know, it has been fixed for months, since the pistol wasn't even supposed to be in the beta.
 
MaX_PL said:
theres no problem, everyone just wants to argue about something.
Actually, I think pretty much everyone would like to move on. This is at least the fourth time the same topic has come up in this thread. The conversation has not shifted one bit since the first time.

Anyhoo - I'm off to seek out that issue of Gamepro later today. I still feel a bit dirty about it.

I'm willing to take those odds.

Me and two other guys against your team, standard matchmaking rules, none of that MLG crap.

Serious Bidness. Look, I'm not really going to fishhook anyone. You can relax. I'm sure you're a phenomenal player and that your mlg team rapes, or whatever. I just don't get the logic that you use to justify cheating. If you're so confident in your skills, you would just say, "Don't use 'em. Don't need to." But that's not the case.

And it's funny, because I am a casual Halo player. Until the Beta dropped, I hadn't played Halo in something like ten months. I'm not in any special professional gaming leagues. I don't have a team or a clan. I'm not sponsored by Monster Energy Drink. I don't have fifty thousand Halo 2 kills, yet my Halo 2 K/D is better than yours (though it still sucks) and I've never once used an exploit or a glitch.

But gee, I can imagine that you would be tons of fun to play with. :)

Anywho, cool stuff with the map names. Cyberdyne? Terminator Spartan model confirmed?

edit: and yeah, let's move on.
 
MaX_PL said:

Groovy. It's one of those topics where everyone is entrenched in their viewpoint. My hope is, we won't be having the coversation about it when Halo 3 ships. You'll be killing me left and right through other means. :)

You got to remember this is the Beta tho, Frankie has said he wants people to try and find all these glitches and ways to get out of the map. That way it can be fixed for the final version.

Valhalla isn't that big. It's smaller than Coagulation. I think a better comparison is it's bigger than Containment or Sidewinder.

I believe this is the map noted as being the second largest of all Halo maps, correct?

This was several days after the exploit was found, he wasn't doing it to help the game, he wanted to cheat and win. If it had been just a regular slayer game, and he was just out there dicking around, not killing anybody, I wouldn't have cared. I probably wouldn't even have killed him
 
urk said:

Are you talking about Shrine? I believe it is the largest map ever in Halo with the exception of that one map in Halo PC, I can't think of the name of it. But I'm not sure that'd count. I don't know though, Shrine might actually be bigger than that.

You sound like a spoiled twelve year old who got caught cheating and then declared he had no need of cheating. Please, please, please put your gamertag on here so people who play for fun instead of stroking their baby-egos can set you as an avoided player.
