Um. Guys. We got on trouble last time for the matchmaking talk - it has to go in the (unread) MP thread in the Online forum.

Quoted for sexual reinforcement. Basically the other thread sucks and no one views the online forum. So were keeping it to a minimum but really its all about Halo... :D

Oh, I know that. But we had a GAF admin come in here a couple months ago and tell us to knock it off or the thread is locked (thus the creation of the Online thread). I'm rather the thread not get locked. :p

Well judging by K/D in that match, someone had to try.

lols my random teammate in team doubles left the game

so i had to be a douchebag and camp and slowly eke out kills. the map was on foundry so it's too heavily skewed against me... i was losing by 1 but with 10 seconds to go i get rockets and get a double kill and run and hide

hahaha they cussed me out so bad after the match but still wtf am i supposed to do ? take it like a man and lose or try to win? I can't run around aimlessly hoping to get a double kill everytime

-i just looked at my team mates last 20 games... all losses (DNF) except the one win... lol it's a win-win!

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD FIX PARTY SPLITTING IN SOCIAL IN THE UPDATE!!!
It's annoying when you have 3 players and you go into Team Snipers (Double EXP lobby, lol) or Social Slayer, and you get split up because of guests or other nuisances.

Numbers,

I downloaded your map. Will check out later.

Just now listening to the new podcast. I like how conversational the shows are now. Great flow.

The tease about big changes to bungie.net was intriguing. I'm still surprised how much content Bungie is pumping into Halo 3, a year out. B.net features, playlist overhaul, AU2, new maps. Oh my.

Yup its also annoying when you have 6 and 8 players and get split up in Social BTB.

Also I liked numbers maps when we played them, made a lot of sense first time playing.

I only just finished listening to it too. Matt Noguchi is frickin awesome. I love that guy! He needs to return fo sho holmes.

Is it me or do Sketch and Shishka have eerily similar voices? I can tell them apart but its scary sometimes :/

ohh yea the new podcast is great. I love hearing programmers talk from Bungie. I'm goin to school to hopefully one day be a programmer in an awesome dev studio. The "plan" that Matt had where he would get a job for a little while then start his own studio, thats exactly what i'm planning to do. I don't know how it'll turn out though. Great podcast. "fast trackin...fast trackin...desperate times!" :lol :lol

3v3 dual on Avalanche ! (minus 1 player off the start). AMAZING. Great job playlist directors. You really know how to pick them. Noone could decide better gametypes and maps then you, NOONE.
You say the same thing over and over again.

We need a disapproving picture of Shishka to respond to these.

Can you honestly admit that that game wasnt incredibly boring, frustrating, and just generally not fun?

I mean you booted me AFTERWARDS, I'm pretty sure you were upset and not having fun too.

Let's all be friends, guys. Remember the podcast? Good times.

Although I agree about the weird setup that resulted in 3 on 3 (3 on 2) Team Duel on Avalanche, really soulless.

I always thought that any Team Duel on that map was bad.

What's up with the lack of seeing cold storage any place - what playlists, if any, is it in?

Is Halo 3's calibration system pretty much universal (like is it good for watching movies or basic television) or does it calibrate your tv for the game only?

i'm was looking at HDTVs and some dude said that they'd calibrate it for me for $50 but i remembered Halo 3 had a calibration process that you can do.

i'm a n00b for this stuff

Ask them if they plan on going into the service menu's to instrumentally balance your color levels.... otherwise, No.

Pretty much the only service I would pay for to calibrate my set. Find someone with that certification and then yes, its worth it. I'd expect to pay more like 100-200 bucks though.

OR

What playlist are you in? I want to know... so I ignore it in future Matchmaking decisions.

Keep VIP away from Team Objective for future references, thanks.

Great podcast. I like how chatty you guys are. I listen to another podcast [not game devs, but still] and although they do talk, since they're friends and stuff, none of them bring the lulz quite like you three do. :D

I mainly watch divx files, and the skin tones are far too red, even though when I run the calibration disc everything appears to be perfect. (and is perfect in games, etc..)

...

though that's probably the files I'm watching and not my tv settings.

Ha! Took me a sec but I got it.

Anyways, Walmart has allowed me one last night of Halo before switching gears to RB2.

Well I return to England (and thus my 360) on the 18th, so any of those days is fine for me!

With good reason, but still, cut. :lol

Needs more Xbox Live and pizza bean bags, imo.

So does anyone know what the new DLC is gonna be about? Not it the mood to read this entire thread.

Hehe, THIS is why we need to make new Halo threads. Anyways, rumor has it [as of now] that the next DLC will be 6 maps and some new achievements (Legendary Maps achievements were already confirmed, but there are more)

Every weekly update should have a paragraph written by Shishka about what he did for the past week.

"Checked 10 forums, all had people who wanted Team Snipers... trying to fix Head 2 Head. Looked at the veto data earlier today, going to reduce BR starts on Standoff and increase VIP weighting. Removing Social BTB. Yep that looks pretty good. WoW time.

The best part about that clip is how he spazzes out when it sticks - jerks back and forth and points the gun straight up. I can just imagine him shrieking "Get it off me! Get it off me!" :lol

You raise an interesting point. What would have happened if he switched weapons as his rifle got stuck? Would it have appeared on his back?

Yup. But if he picked up a new weapon and dropped the sniper, he would have lived assuming he could get far enough away from the blast. Would have taken some pretty fast twitch thinking though.
