The Halo 3 Beta Thread

Largest?

Frankie has said that the huge map, now known to be Shrine (IIRC) is far and away the largest Halo map ever. Tons of vehicles and very rapid vehicle re-spawns. I'm hoping Race makes a return. :D

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.

Edit: I did not write this post.
 
I was playing earlier on in a party, but we had five people and I was moved onto the opponents team on High Ground. I made a mistake early on, and ended up getting swore at and meleed by my own team, in the end I just lost it and said, "Guys, it's just a ****ing game, get a life, I apologised."

That didn't stop it, so I went and stood on top of the gate and relayed my teams movements and activities to my friends on the opposing team, who then swept the board, leaving me untouched.

I'm willing to take those odds.

Me and two other guys against your team, standard matchmaking rules, none of that MLG crap.
I'd be willing to play. I'm feeling more over-competetive than usual today.

I was making fun of Striker. About a month before Halo 2 came out, he told me Zanzibar was 5x the size of Blood Gulch.

Anyhoo - I'm off to seek out that issue of Gamepro later today. I still feel a bit dirty about it.
Good luck with that. My favorite part of the issue was actually the "Gamepro.com community spotlight" on a 13 year old from minnesota who claims that rapping is his expertise. I always find that shit entertaining.

urk, no joke but me and my mlg team could beat any team you put together,

2 v 4, 3 v 4, 3 v 5.

we wouldnt use any exploits and still beat your team by 20+ kills.

:lol


I can bench press 190 pounds more than my sister.
 
urk said:
I can do many squat thrusts, but I require a spotter. Are you free this weekend?


No thanks Urk, but if you need to put together a team to take on MaxPL, I know some people. Some Ogre-ish people...
 
Most Sh*t talking issues can be resolved with a Quick Rematch button.

a button after the match that will send you into a custom game with the other team, if they accept it.

Then you can battle to the death. And for bragging rights.




p.s.

I think you should lose more than 2RP for quitting. Can I hear -10RP for quitting anyone ???

That would be good, if it could tell the difference between quitting and disconnects

Those teams were totally fair!

WHY YOU RUIN MY FUN HUH?
Yeah, totally one sided teams. The game does that a lot I noticed. And I wasn't part of a party either! I ain't complaining though cause I'll take a Perfection medal any way I can get it! :P

I've had at least two...ha! :D

And no, there shouldn't be -10 RP taken away for quitting. What if you have idiots on your team? What if half your team quits and you're getting spawn camped? What if you disconnect? I don't want the game to be a chore to play through. I've already gone through half a dozen games in the past week where I'm getting spawn camped or have idiot teammates. It's not fun and that's what the game is supposed to be.

Some people are shitheads. I can't count the number of times my own teammates have killed me, shooting me off the warthog turret. No verbal request, no gentle three-round burst, but killed me by shooting me in the head multiple times. These people are scumbags. Send them a negative review and move on.

Although your payback was great.

I've been amazed at how much respect players pay me when I don't quit in those circumstances. I had a game the other day where three idiots were spending their time glitching out of the map, and two people had dropped. In short, I was the only team member actually trying to stop the red team. It was brutal and ugly, and made my K/D even worse, but it was a blast. You'd be amazed how much damage a single person can do when the other team things they have it in the bag. They clump up and start running together and leave big openings to sneak through. I still lost, but afterwards they all hung around to tell me it was cool I didn't bail.
 
I played a terrible game of BTB Slayer yesterday and finished with only two kills. I thought it best to buddy up and hang back so I wasn't adding to the other teams kills. Despite us eventually winning I was told post game that I'd be getting bad feedback for my low score :lol There really is no other community like Halo's.
 
Too bad Max backed down, I would have liked to hear that he and his team got thrashed. I remember when counter strike was released for xbox and with it came the keyboard and mouse adapter. The PC heads were trolling very hard that day; the hairiest, and the recognized best of the bunch made a challenge against any controller user. I wouldn't be telling the story if the controller guy lost, but the aftermath on the boards was awesome.

Jude ride it out.

There has to be some sort of incentive to stay in the game, and to not quit.

How many times is your team down 10 kills early and bastards start quitting out, when there is still 10 minutes left to play.

Something has to be done so people dont just quit all of the time if they THINK they aren't going to win.

If the -10 RP is too harsh, and you are getting spawn raped. Well, that sucks but if it happens once a DAY or so, its worth it to keep people in 99% of your other games



P.S.
I hope tonight's BWU is TASTY.

Like "MMMM that was good, I'm Full." tasty
 
Day off today. Spent some time with the girl now I'll be on Halo 3 and Shadowrun for the rest of the day. RyoGCH is the GT. Send me a message if you want to play either.
 
I never quit, but sometimes I have to poop, so I take the controller into the toilet with me. I move the sticks and press buttons, but I can't be held responsible for my actions during these brownouts.

There are going to be quitters no matter what. I would rather quit out of a game that I'm destined to lose, have no teammates or have idiot teammates who don't know what to do rather than get sniped, get teabagged and listen to the other team talk shit about how great they are.
