Halo 3 - General Discussion & Info

[quote name='help1']Yup, definately. You sir are the best player on this forum.

:roll:[/QUOTE]

Nope not the best but I remember you're a little kid and you suck at Halo. I also remember you sucking so bad and being a little bitch you got kicked off of the Halo 2 Clan. :roll: now bitch.
 
[quote name='jimfoley16']Everyone knows that I'm the best player on this site anyway.[/quote]

Gentlemen, Gentlemen, Gentlemen, we all know there's only one way to settle this...tournament.
 
I'm trying to make a timeline of when my 360 started to die, so I have to ask:

During multiplayer, when lag is really bad, has the game every froze for a couple of seconds? Like, completely freeze.

I've had it happen to me a few times, but I always assumed it was lag -- now I assume it was the prelude to the Red Ring of Death.[quote name='pimpinc333']Nope not the best but I remember you're a little kid and you suck at Halo.

He's got a point.
 
I miss Lockdown, Turf, Terminal, Containment, Headlong, Blood Gulch and Beaver Creek.

Hang 'em High would also make a great Halo 3 map, with some slight changes. Elongation would get a notable mention for great small 2 vs 2 matches.

I've never had it completely freeze, but I have had everything around me freeze and all I was able to do was look around (no moving).

#1: Assault Rifle (646)
#2: Melee (377)
#3: Sniper Rifle (109)
#4: Needler (106)
#5: Frag Grenade (83)

WTB more maps (even if they're from H1/H2), getting bored playing the same 3-4 maps :(

Yeah, it happens to me. I have one of the newer 360s, too. I don't know if it's the system itself or if it just has to do with lag. It hasn't crashed completely on me, though.

I'd be down, but I'll be surprised if it actually runs and finishes smoothly.

Kills: 994

Assault Rifle 335

Battle Rifle 127
Shotgun 84
Guardians (?) 39

So what are guardians?
 
Meta game achivements aren't that hard. Just turn on some of the skulls and play it on heroic or normal, have your extra controller plugged in just standing there for re-spawn... and after awhile you should get them all.

My guess is Bungie is going to release new maps real soon rather then later, and charge 800 points for five of them... and everyone will buy them (including me) = instant money.

Its when the game doesn't know who to give the kill/death to. At least thats what it was on H1 and H2. I have no idea why people have Guardian kills so high up on their list of frequently used weapons.

On Snowbound, if you try to go outside the borders, those turrets will shoot you and it will say you were killed by the guardians.
 
I had a match earlier tonight where the game just like died, and I couldn't see or hear anyone. Then one guy lagged out, and then the match started up again. It didn't stop, but it was just quiet, with no one being there except me. It started up again like I said, and my team won, but it was terribly terribly laggy.
 
That's the thing, I don't have that second controller. It'd make things SO much easier if I did. That way, Arbiter won't steal all of my fucking brute kills like he always does.

You must have bad memory. I am younger than most you losers, true. I was kicked out of the Halo 2 clan because I betrayed one of you guys and one of you literally started crying on the mic.

Also, I find it hilarious at how you think that Halo 2 clans (or any clans for that matter) were worth shit.

Play me sometime, and I'll kick your ass, guaranteed.
 
I've been slowly playing through the campaign and finished level 7 yesterday. I decided to check my achievements list, and noticed I didn't get an achievement for finishing level 6. How the hell does that happen?

The same thing happened to me. I didn't get credit for beating "The Covenant" on solo, despite playing through the whole game, and I didn't get the achievement for beating Level 8, "Cortana", til the 3rd try.
 
Ok this sucks, I dont know what happened but now im getting screwed. I go from 110 EXP to 85?...I havent even played in two weeks! Whats the deal?

You also got kicked out because you were loud and obnoxious.

Still loud and obnoxious, might I add. When I ran into you in a Gears of War match, you were literally screaming in your mic. Hysterical stuff, I assure you, as evident by your like-minded friends screaming and laughing.

Screaming.

Anyone get the Masterchief statue? It was through pre-order only, and my GS told me I was the only one to get it through their store. I felt like a loser...but whatever, it's pretty fuckin' sweet.
 
[quote name='zewone']How much is the statue?[/QUOTE]

$100...

you can tell why there was only one pre-order...me. I'm the only one stupid enough around these parts to spend that kind of cash on a statue. At least it wasn't so bad. I already had $50 paid off, so another $50 today made it hurt less...just a little bit.
 
[quote name='creeeaature']Anyone up for some coop legendary?[/QUOTE]

Definitely up for some. I'll be on from about 7-10 EDT tonight. Send me a friend request GT: Kromax44.
 
saw a general yesterday while playin, thought it was funny how some people have already played over a 1000 games.
 
1,000 games...maybe 10 minutes per game including matchmaking...
167 hours
Just shy of 7 days

Game's been out 3 weeks

Which means he's been playing an average of 8 hours a day since the game came out

Incredible.
 
So is the army rank based on how many games you play? Does it matter if they are social or ranked (and for that matter, lone wolf or slayer, etc.)? Or if you win or lose?
 
[quote name='soccerstud652']So is the army rank based on how many games you play? Does it matter if they are social or ranked (and for that matter, lone wolf or slayer, etc.)? Or if you win or lose?[/QUOTE]

The army insignia is based on your experience, or how many wins you have. Everytime you win a game you get 1 exp.

At certain milestones (20, 50, 70, 100, 200, 500 etc...) you go up in rank, from say a "Gunnery Sergeant" to a "Liutenent" (or however you spell it). So it doesn't matter if they're social or ranked, or what game type / playlist they are, just that you have the exp.

However, there are a few instances where you have to be a certain rank in order to bypass lesser insignia. For example, if you have a rank of 20 in any ranked playlist, when you get to 70 exp. instead of going to Gunnery Sergeant grade 3 you get to skip ahead to liutenent (or however you spell it). So, playing ranked at least occasionally is beneficial.

There is a full breakdown of it somewhere, I'm sure someone will link it.

Goes by wins. Also you get ranked up with certain badges by your Rank also.
 
I've ranked up just by playing lately I've played like 4 matches with 4 people per match came in 3rd in two , 2nd in one and won one of them out right and I've hit recruit second grade so how do I factor in then O-o.

If you go to your Bungie.net stats and click Next Rating on the top there is a full breakdown of when you Rank up.
 
I love how people act as if they know how you gain rank and experience.

It's complicated, it's secret, and if you think you've figured it out completely you're probably pretty arrogant.

Are you talking about your skill going up or your enlisted Rank? Because the enlisted Rank is very easy to see. Like I said they have a whole layout of when you rank up. The skill well I would have to agree on that where it is a complicated system that nobody really knows how or when you go up or down. But EXP points seem to be gained everytime you win a match. Except in Lone Wolves it is usually the top 3 that gain EXP.

Skill level.

[quote name='lukems']Let’s talk about Ranking, EXP and Matchmaking in Halo 3.

First, your “Rank” in Halo 3 is the numerical value near your name. You’ll have a different number in each ranked playlist (social playlists don’t have a rank associated with them) and those numbers serve two purposes. First, and most important that number is our system’s assessment of your skill level relative to the Halo 3 player base. The higher the rank, the better the system thinks that you are. The second part of the “rank” is Service Record component, certain numerical ranks are required to reach different military advancement, General for level 50, et cetera.

Your rank and advancement through the ranking system isn’t a linear experience. There isn’t a “if I win 8 games in a row, I should go up X ranks.” Behind the scenes, we’re calculating all manner of information about your play style, skill, foes and party mates. Because the “leveling curve” isn’t a straight line, someone might get to level 30 in Team Slayer in 50 games, or someone might take a year to reach level 30 in Team Slayer. There’s no hard and fast rule to gaining rank aside from winning games, but even then, there’s no rule as to how fast you’ll advance. The system is infinitely more complicated than just a number being displayed in your profile.

Where “Rank” is the descriptor related to your skill, EXP is essentially a visually description of how much you’ve played. Depending on your finish in a game, you’ll earn an EXP point. Quitting, disconnecting, leaving a game are all cause for losing EXP[/quote]
