Halo Discussion




Posted by Raging Gamer

Seeing as the hackers like to ruin this board, I am once again creating the thread to discuss anything Halo 2. Have a blast.

When you board a tank and plant a grenade, can you get injured by splash damage by the grenade? does it damage the tank?




Posted by Master Chief 12

No, you cannot get hurt by splash damage of the grenade. Yes, it does damage the tank.




Posted by Gorilla Jones

hig, the grenade does indeed damage the tank or wraith as well. I love using the wraith especially and many a time I have been boarded, killed my atacker and gotten back in my wraith to see that one of the wings is broken. :|

Ok before anyone gets worked up im not a cheater i wouldnt cheat and i HATE it when people cheat. But anyway to the point. I have heard of a couple of people who have actually gotten booted from halo 2 for cheating. Are these ways of cheating simply glitch cheats or are people actually typing it cheat codes, or is it more complicated. Im not interested in cheating at all i just want to know that its harder than typing in a simple code so i can feel better about when i win or lose. I dont know if its me but there are times when it seems like specific person im playing against is almost impossible to kill, not because of their skill but you can be shooting them in the back and they turn around and shoot you like once and its over. It just doesnt make sense somtimes. If anyone has any info on how people go about cheating or what Bungie is doing to stop them that would be great.

Do not underestimate the power of a head shot with a shot gun.

I have heard of some so-called cheats like messing with your ethernet connection to go through walls but nothing earth shattering.




Posted by Skitzo Control

The way to cheat is either through glitch manipulating (dummy, sword-rocket), and through activating standby on your modem. If you are caught doing this, you will be banned from Xbox Live, not just Halo 2, and you will no longer be able to play until you activate your next account.

God I hate cheaters online. Their so cheap, then the shout obscenities when the game is over shouting how good they are.




Posted by Arczu

I have seen this sword-rocket glitch before. That's pretty annoying to think that can happen. I was wondering how people were flying up the side of a cliff when I sniped into their little camping tent and marshmallows...

What do you mean by turning your modem to stand-by mode? What or how is it people mess with their connection in the first place? Don't they just automatically disconnect if any problems occur?




Posted by Shade

If you're just playing against your friends, the sword glitch can be pretty cool. I used it to get on top of a building and snipe them. Good times.




Posted by KingSouth32

Actually, Bungie stated themselves that if it is a glitch such as grabbing a flag through a wal, is not cheating. They stated getting to a place by turning off your modem, walking there, and turning it back on sfter you have scored IS cheating. SO glitch all ya want is what they say. No they Stand-by glitch does not auto. disconnect it eill mess w/ the ppl our playing w/ but not yours. Also, Bungie is working on letting them work in custom games but not matchmaking. They would like to get rid of the stand by cheat for good.




Posted by KingSouth32

Actually, Bungie said some glitches are fine to do. such as grabbing a flag through a wall, but the stand by glitch. Oh no. They are working on getting it rid from Halo 2 . I know some pretty cool glitches. Ever wanna do them just Message KingSouth32 on Xbox Live!!!!!!!! They should disconnect, but they dont because w/ stand by you actually are invisible it said you quit but you can see everything and every body. Many ppl use it on CTF or Assault because if they use it they can win because of the simple fact you can see them.

**** HALO2 Its taken the life from me!

but its so kick ***... I cant stop.. And even If I wanted to, now it seems like a waist of skill... I know to much about the game to leave. and ive only started to begin compitition for tourneys... plus online play... Goodbye SSBM skill...

MY accounts are ACE714 VDOS and a few others like BAttosia09 (the man slayer.. spelling may be off) and Shenoieken (agian, spelling) Why do I have so many, there not mine^^ There my buds but we share em alot... VDOS use to be in the top 100 in Rumble pit till a few noobs messed it up completly.... He had like 20 wins in a row by far. aswell with ACE. We also know some good people like SadPanda ranked 4th in all of bungie of RumblePit and such.

Anyway.. Id like to set up some skill tactics and glitches. No **** stuff like standby or dumming(since most forms of dummying are stand by and bad **** Ive stopped this usage all together)
Seperated into a few sections.
Pardon my repulsive spelen^^

Sword
:link2:Sword Cancling: By pushing X when you swing the sword, you swing it really fast. Same for other guns and there melees. This is usless cept for a later tactic/glitch. Its usless cause the fast swing does no damage.

:link: Sword Flying and Long Sword Lunge: There are 2 ways to do this. The first is with a vehicle with passanger seats like the warthog or spectrum. More called swrod flying. You simple get a sword and go into a passanger seat in a vehicle. Get a red target ans swing, when you get out when the target goes away you follow it. even in air. So flying is capable. This isnt very usfull in multi play but you may use it in some things. single player is fun but you can die from air so it isnt usfull but sight seeing in single or co-op. this vid might help you maximize you distance plus a secret sword you may not know about in single player^^(there are about 7 secret swords in single/co-op)
this vid should help [url="http://http://www.halotv.net/html/modules.php?name=Web_Links&l_op=visit&lid=224"]http://http://www.halotv.net/html/modules.php?name=Web_Links&l_op=visit&lid=224[/url] and [url="http://http://www.halotv.net/html/modules.php?name=Web_Links&l_op=visit&lid=227"]http://http://www.halotv.net/html/modules.php?name=Web_Links&l_op=visit&lid=227[/url] for some funny peter pan flying^^
The 2nd and more valuable sword fly is more limited. Long Sword lunge. You get the sword and a 2ndary weapon like the rocket for best preformance. The carbine and battle rifle have different timing and the distance is abit shorter. Now, unzoomed, and target the opponent with the rocket or battle rifle so it comes red, switch then lunge and if done rght you go flying to them for a lunge kill attack, it is aviodable if the player moves to the right or left but then they got the problem of you being 3 feet to them with a sword^^. The range is the maximum target unzoomed, the sniper isnt as good as youd think.. the rocket is easiest and best and battle rifle to a 2nd with faster timing. This isnt banned either. bungie says they dont see why others use it more.. Its really good but requires alot of skill and timing. If you push x, you cancle the attack, still lunging but you swing at them and it does no damage. good for getting ontop of levels like headlong.

:link2: Sword Jumping: This involves Sword Cancling. You have a guy jump ontop of a nother guy with a sword, allie or foe, it works. The bottem guy looks up and start sword cancling the top guy as the top jumps, this make the top guy go very high, good for gettingthe oddball dude were others cant get him on zanzy or getting on top of headlong if your not to good at long sword lunging or have no angle to do it. you go really high if you know how to do it. mark it up with long sword lunging for a surprising Supa Jump if only one guy has a sword. Its the miracle jump^^

:confused: Did you know?: with a sword you go faster. .1 speed and zoomed you go .1 speed slowwer. just some info you might want to know about.

Guns
:bangbang: Triple Weilding: This will allow you to have 3 amo clips, good for those who hate the amo storage in the pistol. Basicly, you need 3 of the same gun that can be duel weilded. -Needler, Pistol and the SMG- you grab the gun then grab a different gun with x so you have the desired gun as your 2ndary backup weapon, then you grab a duel with that gun then duel with x.
EX: grab pistol with X, switch back you your smg, then find a pistol and duel that with y, then grab another pistol with x so your dueling pistol;s with a pistol back up. This is the only way to do it since bungie tried to not let you have the same gun on the back up. Sry you did a crappy job there guys^^

:bangbang: Amo trick: Im still abit confused about this. It may only work with the SMG but if you can do it with a pistol it be awsome. you have only abit amo in you duel smg so one is full an the other is partialy full. You drop the duel, pick it up and you have magic amo to reaload. do it agian and agian. for infinit amo. Its hard to explain how to do it so look around the web if you think its worth while to learn. It only give ya like 12 bullets for pistol and 30 for smg so the full clip of that gun or so.

:confused: Did you know?: the regulare pistol isnt the only duel headshot kill, the plasma pistol Uncharged will let you kill em if its a head shot, so duel plasmas can kill just like plasma pistol pistol, its just charged shots go for the body, not head and regulare shots go so slow..

:sniper: Second hand snipe: There are rumers and those who say if you get a lock on the sniper from a distance on the head, even if the opponent dodges it he gets killed cause of some stallation glitch, one of the many things I still have to do on my list...

:bounce2: Needler reflecting: When you have some shield, and move left and right alot, most the needlers will reflect off of you, doing no damage. its one of the resons why the needler still suks..

:confused:Did you know?: Bungie actualy made the needler suky agian. When they first made it, in a combo it was decent, but duel needlers rocked so much they had to tone it down, to sht... thnx alot bungi..
"The right trigger fires my SMG, and my left trigger fires my Needler, which is actually worth picking up in" :rolleyes:


Gernades
:fire: Gernade Jumping: just like halo1 you can throw a nade, jump over it and go farther. To get to places you couldent get to before by yourself. Works with both nadeds but frags do better since they bounce and has 2 second timing. Also can be done with the rocket if ya got an overshield. and other bombs. just be of care.

:confused: Did you know?: You can shoot a frag in mid air? Ive seen pro vids of godly guys throw a frag at an oponent from a distance, cause the angle allows him not to be damaged from any bounced shot, he shot the frag with a sniper and killed him. If the frag is close enough to you it can be a 1 hit kill. it mainly has to touch a piece of your body. cant be done with a plasma though...

Basic junk
:metool: Crouching and crouch jumping: Just a quick one to noobs, if you crouch and walk you dont come up on radar and if you crounch before landing a jump on a platfor you can get to it were regulare jumps canot. also crouching lets you decrease the damage done to a splash zone of a frag or rocket. or whatnot..

Spartans and Elites
:rainbow: Guess who?: Elites with the 2ndary color red who are on the blue team look like a red guy up close. a step forth for the elites. cause it may fool ya once or twice in a big battle with alot of distraction around.

:bang_bang Range of the spartins: The spartins have an advantage over the elites, there range. with the guns and long sword lunging, the spartans can go abit farther. a step back for the eleits..

:double: Elite dummy: I wount say how cause the dummy glitches are being caught and banned. But if you see an elite who wont die, he may be using an elite dummy glitch. there are many dummy glitches but I wont say any of them now.


:sleeping:Sleepers: The term used for ppl contesting a bomb near the enemy base, works good on water works and zanzy and expecialy headlong. find you own spots.

:grab: SUK IT BLUE!: one of my fav quotes from
[url="http://www.redvsblue.com/"][/url]
Its acutaly true. On 1 flag ctf and assult, red team has an advantage. the last poitn is worth 1.5 points so a tie breaker with red team to score on the last round wins. Now. the noobs think its cool, and the intermediats think its unfair. but actualy few know that the blue team in any thing, the blue team gets the extra member if there is an odd count. its just rare to see an odd number seeing the files like even numbers. a fair advantage in big team and skirm. but blues have advantage in slayer more so and such. get it?

Vehicles
the 2nd part of the warthog sword flying glitch is up to the top of tricks.

Tank Fliping: get a scorpion and a wraith. the wraith turbos under the scorp and shoots. the rest is all on the count of ~Magic[color=yellow]~ [/color]The scorpion goes flipping out, hunreds of feet in the air. Kinda cool scene. heres a vid.[url="http://http://www.halotv.net/html/modules.php?name=Web_Links&l_op=visit&lid=225"]http://http://www.halotv.net/html/modules.php?name=Web_Links&l_op=visit&lid=225[/url]. It also shows how to get to the sniper spot on coag with a spectrum and some other nifty things.

:confused: Did you know?: you know your lagging when you cant see the blue ball from a wraith shot. Use this to your advantage on yellow lag^^

Boxxing: On WaterWorks, the wraith can box off the front and back entrance on the base by pushing them into the entrences, the boxes help perfectly in good deffence, and cant be moves unless you got alot of rocket amo to waist, thrwo frag for a long time or melee it for hours... or get a wriath yourself... there are 6 boxes to block the front, back, and the enemy tunnel always to your left. Learn this skill quick cause its a normal and effecient skill in neatral bomb to single falg and multi flag. helps more on multi falg an neatrual bomb cause of long time. this also prevents them coming above quickly from one of the boxes. Ive seen a pro boxxer get one on the back side upper entrence and one inside on a multi ctf. Making it nearly imposible to get in.. and out... if you could block the top stop from them teliporting, that be even cooler. be a master boxer and learn this sht!

:confused: Did you know?: that you can get a box inside the base? goot for flag cause then its a fuking ***** to get that flag. is possible but at first glance seems imposible and you may need to go to the other side of the box to do it.

:confused: Did you know?: You can get a warthog in the waterworks base by driving it up the ramp and in. its hard but capable. for even MORE blocking useage or another turret in or on top of the base.

:bash: Turret Armor: Ther turrets give the person more armor. Headshots with a sniper still kills in 1 shot but meleeingin the back does ****, just like hitting there front half. plus, the sword attack make you go Over them most the time if you dont know how to hit it. the target system ushaly lock the head and you fly over them. "HAHA, HOW THE FUK DO U MISS A TURRET" is what youl then hear from them... suks doesnt it.. just shoot em insted of my fav, plasma nade em. funny as ****^^

:sniper: Ghost sniping: Now, I dont brag much but I Kick Ghost *** with anything from a plasma to a sniper to a smg. I Always hit that jump from hearing a ghost turnboing up behind me. infact, cause I use hearing so much, I die more from my friends then foes. "I heard you but didnt think you run me over you team killing fuktart" But anyway. There is a snip spot on a ghosts right side, its glowing right near their feet. Snip it with a battle rifle to a sniper or even a pistol to destroy the ghost. or just hit their head or body twice to grab it yourself. you wont kill them from a tank explotion unless they got a 50% shield or so. also, most think when htere being turreted from a ghost looking at them, they got no chance, the head is out of reach cause 9of that bulk in the front. Well, there are 2 ways to do it, the right way and wrong, the wrong is waist your amo to try and blow off the hood then snipe their head. the right is to kill them in 2 shots by shooting the small spot at the bottem, even if a ghost is looking right at you and shooting, their feet are slightly exposed. Show them whos boss!

Double Banshie Jack Back: Now, you put 2 and 2 together to relize that you can jack a banshie with the long sword lunge or sword fly, and its kinda hard to.. but what do you do if you get jacked. Flip it up. The momentum will send you up for about a second or 2 if done right, then come back down and grab it yourself. I dont use banshies much cause legacy controls dont work with it well..... but the up flip is the only easy thing to o with legacy and I found that you can flip it and jack them back. Totally rub it in their face when u do cause it looks kick ***. however, if they boost, they can avoid it. just pray they're dum..
(K, by now, you know these words arn't official "double banshi jack back.." there words I use for em. cause theres no official word for em)

Comparing Tanks: The scorpion is more armored to plasmas than the wraith by 1/3rd abd twice as stong to the brute shot than the wraith but frags are the same. the ghost kills the scorpion faster abit than the wraith but the gause gun of the warthog kills the wraith in 3 good shots and the scorpion in 4. he banshie kills the scorpion abit faster, like 1/5th faster. the regulare watrhog and the rocket kills them the same.
So these vehicles are different to different hits. learn em, know em, live em.

Maps
Lockout: Wow, there are so many things to do on lockout.. Expecialy with a flag. You can jump anyway and actually Throw the flag to a guy on a bridge and die. he gets the flag, you spawn on top and he passes it through the celling with you grabbing it up there. 133t! there are many jumping spots on lockout to get the flag back real quick. heres a site for pretty good vids. I learned a few things here. however. for lockout, there flag tactics suk...
[url="http://uhaweb.hartford.edu/AURICCHIO/"]http://uhaweb.hartford.edu/AURICCHIO/[/url]
I know a much better place for Real lockout flag stuff thats so 133t suicide jumps for flagging. The best ive seen here was the headlong flag pass through the wall. Ill need to master that to get that flag outside the wall fast^^
Edit: and heres one of the cool vids for flags. a few good things in here.[url="http://www.shr00m.com/halo2/lockoutft.wmv"]http://www.shr00m.com/halo2/lockoutft.wmv[/url]

Burial Mounds: That vid showed one thing thats usful but I realized sooner. Its really practicle than other tricks but only if you can do it fast. You drive the hog though the tunnel and a guys on the hood holding X. he grabs the flag as it goes across the bridge then flys of from the momentom as the hog crashes. If angeld right, you can go through the 2 beams of metal. Its my fav flag tactic. Well.. that Ive perfected more or less...

Coagulation(isnt that a water filtering system): like in halo one you can fling a guy ontop of the base, just less cooler.. in halo1, you hit the rock and the guy gets out on the passanger side to go ontop of the base real quick. Coag will let you grab the flag under with the banshie of hog right through the ceiling. Also you can go down, grab the flag and pass it up to a guy on top and he teliports.

Zanzibar: Throw the flag through the gates, jump onto the rocks and pass it up through the battle rifle spot. there are so many ways to do this. Im not gona state em all.

Edit- Water Works: One of my best and fav stages. Besides boxxing up entrences and junk, there is much to do. I saw a vid of a star pro just go in a base that was totaly boxxed and demolish there stratigy. In 2nd person, his partner was looking at his friend pull out a sniper, going forward in front of the base and then the pro started getting headshots, reload, then point up and start shooting, his last bullet, he then pointed back down, headshot a guy ontop of the base, then jump. Now, the boxxes make it hard to get in, but this is were the up shooting at nothing helps. I thought there was a banshie cause his partner didnt look up to show ya, he was shooting the pillars at the top!, one must have fallen so when he jumped, he landed on one of the pillars that fell on the ground leading up to the base, he then jump off it and it disipered jsust then, got the flag and threw it out the window so then the guy who was viewing it grabed it and ran. Course they didnt get half way till then died, but then got it back bit by bit. It was just cool witnessing those pillars come into play to get in front of the base that quick! a very nice tactic + the hands on a pro = death for the other team...

There are many ways to fuk there flag:us:
Why dont we discus your tactics for flags and junk... Im tiered...

Conclusion.
1. Know your map, guns and duels.
2. know your opponent
3. i hav bad spelen
4. know stramadigy^^
5. Im to lazy to type anymore

Edit: I will update this from time to time if I feel its needed or find some new stuff..

Thanks for the strategies and cheats DarkBlade. The strategies helped a lot.




Posted by Speedfreak

The only remotely decent game on Xbox, and it's not even that fucking great. Goddamn, I'm selling all these crappy games and waiting for Conker.




Posted by Axis

Conker is going to be a kick *** game, especially if you've played the first Conker.




Posted by DarkBlade

Lockout: A Cheap way to win neutral assult, oddball, or a neural flag, in this normal type game. Get the ball, go up to the rifts to the left or right of either base. It should be a dome like tunnel with 2 plasma nades on the right of each dome looking at it. Jump ontop of the dome then all the way to the top corner of it, drop the bomb/oddball/flag facing the wall and it should drop in that corner. Far enough so no1, even you, can reach it. So, if your cheap, use it... But I mainly put this up so you can inform your team that they will win if there even up by a point or second for oddball. Make sure the carrier doesnt get ontop of those domes or your fuked...

Zanzibar: I love this stage, its good for most anything but multi junk. On oddball I always get up high and snipe the 2 explosive barrels to make the bomb go to the mid shotgun under the rocket. With oddbal there must be dosens of places to go to fuk the other team. Im sure we all know that to get the sword, you can just throw a nade in the hole to get the sword. or rotate upwards on the windmill and jump ontop of the dome then go and get the sword.
*pikachu* [color=yellow]Pikachu says: Use sound to your advantage Im sure every1 can hear the sword bridge go down... I like throwing nades other ways to sneak closer to snipers. In lan parties I Always cough when I get the invisy or overshield. Till they find out..... When I get a sword I emideitly switch to the 2ndary gun. I dont even see the sword come out, let alone hear it. People will run to you if you only have 1 smg, then pull out that son of a bitck stick right in front of them.^^ Chu on that.
Cant say how many time dum kids fall for this. Your all alone in a multi flag at there base, your in the front crouch walking, "Um, hey, can some1 take out that red guy at the bottem of our base, hes hiding in a corner down there" I see 2 blue dots down there asking "Were?" "Outside on the corners" Grab the flag then run out the front door. I dont live of corse but I get the flag 1/4 of the way most the time^^
On Headlong its the same, tell em theres an enemy down at the bottem if your up high. On water works tell em theres a guy near the base teliporter or zannzy tell em the bomb and 2 guys are coming through the invisibility side when you have invisy and crouch walk to arm it by yourself or so. I use this stuff all the time.

I haven't heard much about it, but I'll get it and tear stuff up with you...hoping for a good stat and clan system.

Baka su!... My halo tourny went to sht. The team 4 on 4 double elimination brackets that went to a 1 on 1 round robin then 1 on 1 brackets went to standard 8 free for all god dam rumblw pit.....
Im wondering, how many ppl here agree out of all the regular match syustems, which one takes the least skill to win...
Their just like Otakon... If there are more ppl, well just put more on one match in a free for all to make it go by faster...
I can count all the ppl there thgat are a match to me on Smash with 1 hand yet only get into the 4/5 brackets.. meaning tecnicly im in the top 20%.... No Skill
NO GOD DAM SKILL!!!

And it all New Jerseys Fault! cause of there vast numbers coming down to P.A. for this tourny...

Soooo sad...
:bowser:

Depends I guess. If someone that sucked got matched with good partners in Team Slayer, he'll probably win. But if an average/above-average player goes into Rumble Pit, it kinda depends on their spawns. If I were to spawn next to the Rocket, only I would know exactly when it comes back. So I'd whore it the whole game.



Posted by DarkBlade

Na... it was 4 person rumble pit... totaly random... I got into the semi finals but got beat out by the 3rd place winner... I saw about 4 guys better than me, That I Didn't Know! thats rare but they came from NJ so if your coming out of state, you Better be good... I kicked all there asses in Smash though... Beat the best guy there without knowing it so what I thought as to making a few money matches of that were gone...:(
But a good time. The winner was Impact. i suspect his acount to be around that name...
Learned 1 thing there aswell.
Supa Jump::jump: This is done on Coag but I saw Impact do it on burial and bever creak on acident...
On Coag, the ramps to the mid part of the base out back will lead you up to the plasma pistol, turn 90 degrees left or right and youl see the outside bulk of the base will have a triangulare hole on left opr right of it, jump and crouch duck it perfectly to go somewhat stuck in the hole, afterwards just step back and jump and the mass and gravity or some junk send u strait up to the distant of a rocket/sword lunge. But you cant move side to side... Ill try to put this into a tactic if it kills me cause its a 1 person supa jump! Get a banshie to time when to "push" the flag carrier or whatnot.. If its possible with a flag will be up to you guys to find out...
Getting into the side hole is hard, timing it is even harder but I have seen a guy preacticly perfect it so its just some type of timing.. ill turn this info to a guy whos perfected the rocket/sword lunge and every glitch I know to test this seeing hes the one with free time(and an Xbox... I dont own one... try telling that to ppl you pwn at real tourneys^^' )

Seeing that this is possible on bever creak and all mabey theres some form orf art to were to use this. Master chiefs mass and all must fuk somthing up right!?!?..

It feels like I've explained a hundred times already. Just because you see something in a trailer doesn't mean that that it will be in the game. It just demonstrated the game.

Yeh ive seen people jump amazingly high as well but i have no idea how they do it. its not only on caugulation ive seen it though and its not throught the same method that you described the ones ive seen seem to be able to do it on command as if it was a normal jump. thats not the only wierd thing ive seen

ive seen people who can change the size of their character as well and seem impossible to die. the guy just grew huge and me and my bro got into a warthog and shot the hell out of him but nothin happened we were shooting him for like a good 2 minuets in the hog and everyone else who was in the game wos shootin him as well not to mention my bro hit him head on with the warthog 3 times but nothin happened. eventually he did die tho after countless attempts.

I have also seen a flying warthog not like a grenade launch but acctually flying with people in it. it has the same manouvers as the banshee but the advantage of this is that someone can be in the back shooting whilst there is a passenger and a driver as well as the driver can constantly boost whilst the person in the back shoots whereas unlike with the banshee the driver can only either shoot or boost but not both at the same time.

people have got onto the crane on headlong. i have no idea how this is performed either but it seems impossible to be killed when you are their though.

people can get onto of the sniping tower on lockout. i kno how this is done though. go up it as if u are normally and jump onto the ledge infront of you. you then turn around facing where u came from and grenade jup[ to a small little ledge sticking out above u. after this u grenade jump again and you should end up onto of the sniping tower

there is a way how to get ontop of the transport tube tower on lockout as well but i dont know how to do this.

if i should find out any of this i will post it. i have already been looking for the super jump but all i can find is fukin sword jumps and the tank jump which is when u ram it with a wraith

I just hope that if someone here finds out that they post it cos it sucks when people do super jumps but there is one bad thing about super jumping and thats when you do it you move slowly in the air. i have sniped sum bas*ards head off whilst he was doing a superjump and i f*ckin loved it.

also just as a little note there are more ppl who cheat in america (epsecially the flying hog) on xlink kai than in england

When you place a bomb on a tank when you board it you can not get injured at all from that only the people in it can get hurt!!!!!!

what sort of an idiot want to get bigger? so he can get shot more easily? I think you are lying.



Posted by DarkBlade

Degenerate, Alot you said can be easly done if you know the procces.
As for the giant stuff... u got me.. stand by? I know a few launching warthogs and them spinning around like crazy and dummying but flying like the banshie....? sounds allitle to much like halo1 on the pc... [url="http://www.halotv.net/html/modules.php?name=Web_Links&l_op=visit&lid=27"]Link to see flying warty^^[/url] (with some other stuff^^)

now the crane can be normaly done by sword lunging there heads.. the rocket thing(my 1st post at top) but I have seen ppl do nade jumps(also at top post) and banshie stuff to get there.
This site is uber for jump vids to show you How to do em. Late jumping and crouching at last second is the key to get to places.
[url="http://files3.bungie.org/mrjukes/"]http://files3.bungie.org/mrjukes/[/url]
That place Should show you several methods for super jumping. its not just hacking... jumping with tanks ramming into u, using nade jumps and sword lunging/rocket jump to banshi jumps and slide jumps for speed. there are many ways on many levels, explosive, vehicle, weapon, and stage.

Explosive, Using gernades, or explody things like those yellow tanks, ushaly done with overshields..
Vehicle, Banshi junk and more, or when theres a tank upsidown and fliping it while on it. Or ramming a wraith into a guy(with overshield) on some parts of the map for them to go high. there are many ways.
Weapon. See my 1st post... or rocket jump(overshield)
Map. I dont think jukes shows many of these. The slide jump is jumping onto a diagonal piece of land and jumping that to increase speed. He shows this alot.
On coag, theres a spot on the back of the base. A small hole on the outsides left and right, you can get in it by jumping off the back ramp and crouching at the last second.. Now, you back up and jump at last second to fly in the air really high. Its just cool. not much use more or less..

Alot of jukes stuff helps you in camping technics and stuff.

As or more cheaters in the USA, thats cause more ppl probably play in the USA:us:

[COLOR=DarkGreen]Halo 2 last level. I had the feeling I would ride the giant mosquito-like enemy vehicle, it's seems indestructible. When you try to blast one of it's legs with the ghost(I think), the leg barely has a scratch and probably would feel like a pinprick if this giant mechanical bug was alive. This bug has firepower that can blast STAR WARS Death Planet in one shot. Just this giant bug could take out more than a 1000 alien flying vehicles, and still be in one piece - I truly believe this is so. As it turned out, I couldn't ride this bug because it's not part of the game. Instead, it was a ghost I had to ride to enter the door entrance, made way by one single blast from the giant bug, to the last stage. [/COLOR]Disappointing ending.

I disagree completely, halo1 is a far better game than crappy halo2. At least in halo1 SKILL was involved when you play. In halo2, you get spawn killed, randomly assasinated, the radar is completely inefective compared to halo1's and preety much every weapon is unbalanced in one way or another. And now, they went and screwed everything up with an update that made the game worse. Great bungie, good freakin' job. How about all the people who play halo2 go and play Halo:CE on the PC online, or play a game that takes some SKILL like Counter-Strike: Source.

Oh, and the battle rifle is way too powerful, the sword is a horrible Idea, oh, and tell me who can look down the barrel of 2 SMG's at the same time and have good acuarcy.

and if the games physics are so good, tell me hwo on earth you SPEED UP IN MIDAIR when you have the sword.




Posted by Skitzo Control

Wow... Soul, you dislike Halo 2 for almost all the wrong reasons. The motion sensor was absolutely useless, because of the huge radius it covered. It made it impossible to tell if anybody really was near you. Halo 1 was more of a spawn-kill fest because you almost always spawned near your teammate. Halo 1 was more random when it came to the assassinations thanks to more places to hide (top of the ramps on ****ation) and because the useful cloak. Every weapon, with the Plasma Pistol being the exception, is balanced in Halo 2. The update fixed most of the problems with the game, finally making grenades and melees useful.

The Battle Rifle is the Halo 2 version of the Halo 1 Pistol; it's the spawn-balance. If you spawn with a BR, you can at least have a chance at beating your opponent(s) with Sword, Sniper, Rocket Launcher, or other weapons. The BR is definitely not too powerful. The Sword isn't a horrible idea, because it's so easy to combat, thanks to the update. You can 4-shot with a BR, frag down, or other decent means to take them out. I can keep a decent accuracy while staring down a pair of SMGs.

The game's physics are bad, but that's because the Havok engine sucks. The Sword is a piece of alien weaponry beyond the comprehension of humans. Only the Covenant know what technology lies within it to make its wielder dash at such speeds towards the target.:)

You don't? Unless you do the charge strike, which makes sense.

And the Battle Rifle has disadvantages. It's burst. It's not too hard to hide inbetween bursts. Plus it moves up when you fire and the scope sucks



Posted by DarkBlade

These new map sets they got out are crazy. Rumble is one I wount even go near. 2 on 2 is easy.. You can level up to 20 in a nights work and thats without a ferm partner on 2V2.. and anything on warklock other than a 2 on 2 classic flag is just spawny..
Ive noted that the shotgun swipe is kinda bizzare, I dont challange the gameplay but the shotty just somtimes doesnt kill up close, or just the lag motion makes it seem to much like a kill.
Im glad that battle creek now has human(but still plasma nades..). And that the sniper has not been toned down whatsoever. A smg which fires 60 shot 2 mm bullets makes your gun tilt up 60 degrees yet 4 consecutive 14.5 mm sniper shots is as as acurate as they are in the millitary, with the tripod stand, shooting 1 bullet... The sniper should have just abit of recoil so those spawny cross feild 2 body/ leg shots kill u just as fast as a headshot... It seems they have up toned the sniper just by not toning it at all.. I also miss the magnum doing damage. It still kills in a duel combo but I question its capability from a smg brute plasma rifle.

all in all the new stuff is good. I just disagree with warlock in almost every way. so.. spawny.. Id love jsut to get another smg in that place..

Every weapon is thrown out of whack. It seems because of the hugly long range of the battle rifle, and the incredibly short range of the SMG, I find no grace between them. Halo2 seems more like "Who can trade the SMG away faster" than a game that requires skill. The sword, while dodgeable, gives you no possibility to get away from if a person ends up in your face. The Rocket launcher is, an instant kill which useually does not kill the user of the weapon even if they are relativly close. Ofter times, I founf the radar to be too small, and when a Random sniper or battle rifle shot come barreling at me, I find it difficult to even stand a chance besides dodge and hope.

[quote]Halo 2 version of the Halo 1 Pistol
Your kidding me right? The last time I checked the pistol from H:CE took skill to use effectively, not a gun that alows noobs to correct their margin of error with burst fire. And it is just too easy to find someone who has just spawned with an SMG to complely own then from far away. In halo:CE you spawned with a longer-ranged pistol, giving you an chance to retaliate. Now I understand that the update gives some maps the potential for starting with battle rifles, which mildly solves the problom, yet leads to a larger one, long range wars, almost sniper wars which are caused by this. Making the maps harder to navigate efficiently without getting taken out.

[quote]The motion sensor was absolutely useless, because of the huge radius it
covered. It wasn't useless, any Halo:CE pro will tell you that they like the one from the original better.

Myself, I played in alot of H:CE tournements, and always found gratification in my victory. In halo2, I just feel like an ***.

Now in terms of the new maps, I am dissapointed. Warlock is a spawnkill fest, and containment is well...unfun in general, the bases are too large. However, I was very pleased with Turf. Exelent map by bungie.

Even with all my complaints about the game, there is still some fun to be had, just not enough to hold a real gamers intrest for more than a month or two. Which is why I again recomend "Counter-Strike: Source" To anyone who wants a good shooter.

[quote]the Havok engine sucks
Complely untrue, Halo2 just uses the physics incorrectly. A problem set into the programming by developers.

The BRs range is awful. The best Halo 2 players on this board will agree with me (s0ul, Pit, Stinger, etc.). The SMG is absolutely useless, I'll agree with you there: Your kidding me right? The last time I checked the pistol from H:CE took skill to use effectively, not a gun that alows noobs to correct their margin of error with burst fire. And it is just too easy to find someone who has just spawned with an SMG to complely own then from far away. In halo:CE you spawned with a longer-ranged pistol, giving you an chance to retaliate.

Do you not know analogies? The BR is to Halo 2 as the Pistol is to Halo 1. It's the balance weapon. It's the weapon that everybody (should) spawn with to stand a chance against anything that comes their way. You're talking about SMG spawns, which is a ridiculous notion, because almost all good players will not play with SMG spawns, unless screwing around in Matchmaking. And since you talk of SMG spawns and radar, you must be basing your entire argument on bad Matchmaking. To quote what nearly every single player on MLG has said, "Play customs."
[QUOTE=Soul_Tassadar]t wasn't useless, any Halo:CE pro will tell you that they like the one from the original better.
You show me a Halo Pro that played with radar and I'll show you a ja[b][/b]ckass that isn't as good as he thinks he is.
[QUOTE=Soul_Tassadar]Myself, I played in alot of H:CE tournements, and always found gratification in my victory. In halo2, I just feel like an ***.
Perhaps that's because you are? Winning a Halo (2) tournament is still gratifying. If you win, you still know that you're the best player that was there. But, again, you claim to have played with radar, so I doubt you won anything legit.
[QUOTE=Soul_Tassadar]Now in terms of the new maps, I am dissapointed. Warlock is a spawnkill fest, and containment is well...unfun in general, the bases are too large. However, I was very pleased with Turf. Exelent map by bungie.
You dislike the absolute best map in Halo 2! Wizard is the only map in Halo 2 that doesn't require a stupid and lucky spawn to win, it require the person with the best BR. In Halo, it was the map that required the best Pistol. I'll agree that Containment was a bad map, but all large maps are bad, all large maps lag (but that's just being redundant). Turf, however, is not a good map; three Plasma Pistol spawns, three Brute Shots, and Sniper ammo means that once a team gains control, they are not going to lose it.
[QUOTE=Soul_Tassadar]Even with all my complaints about the game, there is still some fun to be had, just not enough to hold a real gamers intrest for more than a month or two. Which is why I again recomend "Counter-Strike: Source" To anyone who wants a good shooter.
You're recommending us a PC game... Blasphemy. You cannot go comparing CS to Halo because they are simply different games. And, by the way, CS is not that fun. It's a game full of luck and camping.
[QUOTE=Soul_Tassadar]Complely untrue, Halo2 just uses the physics incorrectly. A problem set into the programming by developers.

Alright, the Havok engine isn't that bad. I mean, it was the engine used in Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault, and we all remember how bad of a MaH game that was. Let us not forget how dynamically it ran Painkiller. What? You mean you haven't heard of that game, either? Wait, it was the engine behind Half-Life 2! (Psst... The game was being made for six years. Valve could have used the Myth engine and still pulled it off;)) Full Spectrum Warrior was a decent game, despite being a giant chess board, but there was hardly any programming to it. Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory was also ran by the Havok engine; Splinter Cell was done better on the Unreal engine.

And of course, there is the whole issue of acuracy, which im sure halo2 players have never heard of. it's when you move, and jump, your acuracy decreses...I know, absolute blasphemy.

[quote]If you're having a hard time fighting against a random BR or Snipe and you don't know where you're being hit from, then you should have a teammate cover you. Halo 2 is a team game, an individual's effort won't matter if he's playing 2v1. Either that, or don't be such a bad player.
Well the thing is, you are useually dead before you have a chance to strike back against them. with that being said, its rather difficult to comunicate with your allies.

Sounds pretty rediculous to me. Considering I hate games with lucky spawns and stupidity.

And I guess that bring out the main points why I play CS anyway, no spawn kills, a good idea of where the enemy is, a more clear-cut, less luck based system of play. And there are just too many 8 year old kids with microphones screaming and screming about the most meaningless **** in my ear. Also, I feel the halo2 servers are run rather poorly, not enough monitering, not enough level balances and changes as there needs to be.

And how come (in the update) magnums have bad acuracy? Smgs and PR seem to have the same acuracy. Logic is needed when making games bungie, lets try it.

Mhm... That's because there's only two people that can stand playing such a bad game. And if it's so popular in tournament play, where? It's not at MLG, it's not at WCG. It is at CPL, but everything as at CPL, so that's not saying much. It may be the most popular 1v1 game in your area, but worldwide, it's nowhere near WarCraft standards.

Now, let's get off the subject of PC games in tournaments. Halo 2 is not a PC game, comparing it to one is unfair.

Again, it's a PC game, it's different. Good players do camp. Good players hold the cottage on Italy. Good players hold the bomb points on Dust. In Halo 2, if you're playing correctly, you spawn with a BR and thus have a chance against any opposition. The whole issue of accuracy is why CS is a game of a lot of luck. Apparently, you didn't read what I said well enough, so, here it is again, bold and caps'ed for you: YOU CANNOT COMPARE A PC GAME TO A CONSOLE GAME. Perhaps you'll get it through your head this time?
[QUOTE=Soul_Tassadar]I've never played official MLG tournys, but in terms of local events Ive taken plenty with my team. Of course that was before that horendous update.
The update made it better, for the most part: which is quite the problom. Mainly because this wepon is everywhere. I dont like a game where everyone is on a different level of play because they lived longer.
Everybody is on a level playing field because everybody spawns with a BR. If not, then you are playing the wrong gametypes or playing with the wrong people. I know I just said to stop comparing CS to Halo 2, but hey, you love CS so much, I have to ask you this: how is it an equal level if one team wins the important pistol game without losing a player? One team will have easy access to Colts/AKs, while the other is stuck with SMGs/pistols.
[QUOTE=Soul_Tassadar]Well the thing is, you are useually dead before you have a chance to strike back against them. with that being said, its rather difficult to comunicate with your allies.
I don't have that problem. You must have a bad team, or you must be a bad player.
[QUOTE=Soul_Tassadar]Sounds pretty rediculous to me. Considering I hate games with lucky spawns and stupidity.
Yet you like a game like CS where you can get lucky running-jumping no scopes with an AWP, or a game where you spawn in the same place over and over again.
[QUOTE=Soul_Tassadar]And I guess that bring out the main points why I play CS anyway, no spawn kills, a good idea of where the enemy is, a more clear-cut, less luck based system of play.

Also, I feel the halo2 servers are run rather poorly, not enough monitering, not enough level balances and changes as there needs to be.
You like a game more that takes less luck, when that game has no auto-aim system? Right. You like a game more where you know where your opponent will be from the start of the game, knowing they can only go two or three different routes to get to their objective points? Right. You like a game more where there are still 8 year old kids with mics screaming and screaming about the meaningless **** in your ear, and you can't mute them? Right. Dwelling more on the subject of kids: they can type, they can hack, and they can use the word "fag" over and over again. I've yet to come across anybody like that on Live. Agreed, Bungie runs their business in a very awful way, but the maps are already balanced, and it's not a PC game they can release patch after patch of to fix their mistakes. Complaining about the servers is dumb, so, I say again, play customs.
[QUOTE=Soul_Tassadar]Also, I'd like to bring up the topic of duel wielding. Tell me how this makes sense. I just dont get how you can look down the barrel of 2 smgs and shoot right at your target.

The magnum has bad accuracy because it's a pistol. Pistols don't have good accuracy. SMGs don't have good accuracy in Halo 2, either. The PRs bursts fire slow, don't auto-aim very well, and (again) have very little accuracy. I swear it seems like you've never played this game the proper way in your life.

I want to make one thing clear: I do not like Halo 2 nearly as much as I do many other games. I agree that it's a bad game, mostly because of inconsistencies online, but every reason you have for disliking the game is absolutely wrong.



Posted by s0ul

Haha, I love how the only arguments against Halo 2 all fall back to the fact that the person who dislikes it sucks. C'mon, can't overcome a camper or someone with a rocket? That's not a game flaw, that's a you-suck-at-Halo-go-play-Counter Strike-please flaw.

oh, and if you think that the patch made Halo worse, then your opinion is completely invalid. It made the game WORK again, for ***'s sake. Now retarded kids with no hands who have never heard of an Xbox can't beat the Ogres with their eyes closed.

Edit: OH AND THE DUAL WIELDING COMMENT. what the hell do you mean illogical? a man who can flip a multi-ton tank should be able to aim an SMG! ;)

Quoting Skitzo Control: Mhm... That's because there's only two people that can stand playing such a bad game. And if it's so popular in tournament play, where? It's not at MLG, it's not at WCG. It is at CPL, but everything as at CPL, so that's not saying much. It may be the most popular 1v1 game in your area, but worldwide, it's nowhere near WarCraft standards.

Now, let's get off the subject of PC games in tournaments. Halo 2 is not a PC game, comparing it to one is unfair.


Again, it's a PC game, it's different. Good players do camp. Good players hold the cottage on Italy. Good players hold the bomb points on Dust. In Halo 2, if you're playing correctly, you spawn with a BR and thus have a chance against any opposition. The whole issue of accuracy is why CS is a game of a lot of luck. Apparently, you didn't read what I said well enough, so, here it is again, bold and caps'ed for you: YOU CANNOT COMPARE A PC GAME TO A CONSOLE GAME. Perhaps you'll get it through your head this time?

The update made it better, for the most part; less lag, melees are more useful, and grenades are useful. I don't understand how you can call it such a horrendous update.

Everybody is on a level playing field because everybody spawns with a BR. If not, then you are playing the wrong gametypes or playing with the wrong people. I know I just said to stop comparing CS to Halo 2, but hey, you love CS so much, I have to ask you this: how is it an equal level if one team wins the important pistol game without losing a player? One team will have easy access to Colts/AKs, while the other is stuck with SMGs/pistols.

I don't have that problem. You must have a bad team, or you must be a bad player.

Yet you like a game like CS where you can get lucky running-jumping no scopes with an AWP, or a game where you spawn in the same place over and over again.

You like a game more that takes less luck, when that game has no auto-aim system? Right. You like a game more where you know where your opponent will be from the start of the game, knowing they can only go two or three different routes to get to their objective points? Right. You like a game more where there are still 8 year old kids with mics screaming and screaming about the meaningless **** in your ear, and you can't mute them? Right. Dwelling more on the subject of kids: they can type, they can hack, and they can use the word "fag" over and over again. I've yet to come across anybody like that on Live. Agreed, Bungie runs their business in a very awful way, but the maps are already balanced, and it's not a PC game they can release patch after patch of to fix their mistakes. Complaining about the servers is dumb, so, I say again, play customs.

The magnum has bad accuracy because it's a pistol. Pistols don't have good accuracy. SMGs don't have good accuracy in Halo 2, either. The PRs bursts fire slow, don't auto-aim very well, and (again) have very little accuracy. I swear it seems like you've never played this game the proper way in your life.

I want to make one thing clear: I do not like Halo 2 nearly as much as I do many other games. I agree that it's a bad game, mostly because of inconsistencies online, but every reason you have for disliking the game is absolutely wrong.

Quoted because it's a really freaking long quote.

Tassadar, how's your SC game? Up for any 2v2?

Heh, I really want to play Tassadar with nothing but a battle rifle, let him take all the power weapons, show him he's hating it for all the wrong reasons!

(c'mon, be mad that the shotgun is consistent, be mad that the melee lunges usually make you miss 5 or more times, be mad that it's not halo 1, don't be mad that you suck. OR MAYBE YOU DON'T. We should play you)

[quote]let him take all the power weapons
I never use Rockets, swords, or ghosts, period.

[quote]Tassadar, how's your SC game
Starcraft I presume...It was good a year ago before I switched to CS. great protoss player, leader of the "Soul" Clan, and did nothing but play SC. I played alot of tounries where I used to live (Florida) and was undefeated in every local tounry (1v1) I played in. Not that Im trying to brag or anything, it was my game. But I havn't played in a year :(

[quote]c'mon, be mad that the shotgun is consistent
I think I mean inconsistent. I saw the coding and programming for shotgun damage, and It's random damage depending on distance from the target.

And overall I guess halo:CE was a great game, and halo2 felt like it was a different entity. Didn't feel like halo. I wish they go back to the way things used to be :(

Posted by f_inal_link

Personally I can't see why everyone loves halo1/2, I don't have online so maybe thats what I'm not seeing, but the single player is boring and bland in number 2 it kept all it's faults , Repetitive, generic rooms, predictable battles, The flood * shudders *when all they changed where some nice new graphics and double weilding ( which Red Faction 2 had before it thank you very much )




Posted by Master Chief 12

I like Halo because I usually don't go through playing it, looking for every negative thing. There is no such thing as a perfect game. And no matter how great a game may be, not everyone will like it.




Posted by Random

That... Makes sense... I applaud you. haha yes well done ^_^

No not everyone will like it. People will complain and say why would you buy something like this? The truth is it was fun for a while. Yeah I don't like it anymore myself but I did. And I can't say "Why the Hell did you buy that game" to anyone. Because honestly if we went by my oppinion, I'd mock a lot of you for some of the games you buy :-P

See it here: http://www.halo2forum.com/movies/SoloXZanzibar.wmv



Posted by DarkBlade

I think he means the one that doesnt invole a sword rocket, which by the way, doesnt work with the update anymore... The superjump of zannzy is easy. go above the gate at the 2nd window, break all the glass, then you see a shard thats on the right side of the window(facing the generator.. thingy)Crotch then walk under it and look down, once you screen starts to wobble hold the jump butten and the angle from the push of the glass sends you down to the floor then bounces really high to get onto of the base.
That vid was just comon sense in a jar.
A super jump is also on coagulation. Get on the ramp of eaither base up to the plasma pistol, jump and crouch into the triangular hole of the outside of the base,(this requires a good timed jump) then back out slowly and jump at a right time to go up, this is just a usless technique. Ive yet to find it to any reall use. But you are able to get from the plasma pistol to the battle rifle abit faster, or you can just do the regulare jump from the back which is just 1 hard to get jump. find that for yourself or look on jukes vids for some quality jumps.
The super jump on warlock is much more complecated and make slittle s3ense to me so ask another to get there, once you do, its really hard to die from up there.
Also, Ive done acidential super jumps of assention on the sniper(base side) by crouch jumping. and beaver creek from the left side of red base were you get ontop of, Any1 else find how these are really preformed?
I think I also got one on containment, not sure, memorys abit bad..

There are no cheat codes to be typed into HALO 2, but there are a number of glytches and fun stuff the creaters put in. My favorite thing however is the hidden skulls (i.e. Envy Skull which causes your enemies to fire quicker) I know that sounds bad, but there is a skull on every level that have different effects, but unfortunally they are extremely hard to find and can usually only be found on Legendary mode

Wow, Loony, way to post like you're too legit.

The story behind this is the Halo 2 online Match Making ranking system and people wanting to "downgrade" themselves, so they play games and cause their team's loss, so they can get low on the rankings and play bad people. The Hammer has seen it (never done it) and has had it done to him on many occasions.

*Looks at info*

...

*Finds none*

How bout I start some things...



LESSON 1
[size=2]The Exploding barrels are more that taking out opponents that step near them. Try Barrel Jumping to get places.
The Barrel inside the Defensive base on Headlong alowes you to get ontop of the building. Just stand on top and hit the barrel twice [color=White](Once with a sword/Brute/ect..)[color=Black] and jump at the explostion. It should put u on top of the building were you can nade the boxes into the base to give your men defence agianst combo users from the back bridgeway or those rocket bergaders. There are many ways to take advantage of exploding barrels. Let me tell you the ones on zanzy^^

Once starting by the see on a CTF or assult game. run to the 2 barrels that are on the outside stop by the staircase, I ushually burst fire abit then jump on an hit and jump off in one motion to make me go to the long concreate part that snipers get onto from the ridge above the battle rifle [color=White](stop me if im speaking to much...) [color=Black]From there I am 1, able to see if any1 is going for the sniper or invis(which is my target) and 2, get up faster than any1 else, increasing my time to get to the invis/base by a few seconds. From there you can go to the invis and get the invis by 1, jumping across the ridge or takeing an extra second or 2 to ge tthe shotgun. Then jump on the rock to the balcony of the invis. From there, go to the 2 barrels that are just placed below the right side turret, burst,run,jump,hit,jump and get onto of the base. This tactic alows you to 1, have invis and be ontop of the base, 2, have shoty, 3 counter the rocket camper by the stairs OR open the gate before most of your team is even prepaired.
I just used 2 barrel jumps in a stratigy. Here are a few other things.
the barrles by the right of the opening by the sea wall next to a BR spawn can be jumped up to the sniper concreat block. The barrels by the shoty under the rocket can be pushed then jumped up to the bridge. the barrels by the sniper can be pushed and jumped up onto a few cool places, and the barrels by the left side,(Facing the base) of the giant fan can lead u up to a nice sniper spot. Just a few things on zanzy that I like doing. Find some more yourself.

[size=4]LESSON 2
[/color][/color][/color][/size][/size]Know the area, jumps, and general info.
Junk you may want to learn^^
The blue ramp thingy which the real name escapes me for the moment on Lockout you can also go down it. carfully just turn and sligtly fall down it for a move your opponent may not know about.(if hes below you....)
The opening on the seaside wall on zanzibar can also be jumped. No, not from the rocks which is deadly hard... you can throw the flag then jump it. At the end of a crouch jump, look up to gain abit more hieght and once you learn to angle it right, you will then be able to get back the flag yourself with no car or anything.

Now that I think of it... Im not in the typing mood... MAby ill put this info and much more in a more orgonized format... till then... Ill stop here... Ill continue this junk later... with much more added..


Now to Disapear agian.
[color=Black]Till then.....

Posted by Soul_Tassadar

I've been doing nothing but play halo2 for like the past *** knows how long. I don't play Match making though, it's stupid and has awful gametypes. I play Customs. MLG customs to be precise. My tournament team has been going real strong in local tourneys and we are preparing for an MLG (major leage gaming) tournament coming up in chicago. For those of you who don't know the rules we play things like this

BR start
No radar
No suicide penalties (points still lost)
No betrayal penelties (point loss)
5 sec respawn

we do game types like ball on lockout, midship
king of the hill on middy
slayer on lockout, midship, ivory tower, warlock, beaver creek, sanctuary.

Then I went back and tried to play halo1, and I couldn't even 3 shot anymore :(

I can four shot kill with the battle rifle about 80 percent of the time on sens 5, along with the rest of my team, so I'd say it makes up for it

It's the individual's own negative kill count that will downgrade him, right? Not the team's loss? Because the other day I was on a team of people that sucked and got killed a lot and I got tons of kills and we still lost, but my rank still went up.

I have alot of halo parties, you should bring your team and you can scrim against my team. That is, if you live in the general regieon I do. (I live in southern wisconsin, really close to the illinois border outside the subberbs of chicago.)
And if you can't we should scrim online.

My team has been completely owning these days. At my last lan party, the team that won summer fest was at my house, and we got them 50 - 24 lockout, 50 - 14 warlock, 3 - 0 NB midship. so I'd say our strategies are going strong :)

I was going to explain this long ago, but I forgot...

Basically, it first ranks the winning team at top:
Blue team
Red team

Then, it ranks the players (taking into accout objectives, then kills, then deaths, then assists) on the team.
Blue team:
Tom
Dick
Harry
Joe

Red team:
Bob
Ralph
George
Apu

Then, it takes into effect their levels:
Blue team:
25
24
28
25

Red team:
19
24
27
27
26

Then, it distributes point accordingly.
Blue team:
Gets points for scoring above everybody else
Gets points for scoring above everybody else, then loses points for scoring below 2nd place
Gets points for scoring above everybody else, then loses points for scoring below 3rd place
Gets points for scoring above everybody else, then loses points for scoring below 4th place

Read team:
Gets points for scoring above everybody on his team, but loses points due to being on the losing team
Gets points for scoring above everybody on his team, but loses points due to being on the losing team, except first on his team
Gets points for scoring above everybody on his team, but loses points due to being on the losing team, except second on his team
Gets no points, loses everything, and is probably laughed at

And of course, they'll then distribute points depending on levels, but that's a lot more math than I want to do, right now.:)

I haven't built much host feedback on this connection yet. Mainly because I don't play MM as much as I did on my old connection in Ripon.

You go to hell, sir. You have played on my host maybe once ever, and you had a 1,000 ping because John's brother was downloading porn.

Oh yeah, and Halo 2, which you never played on my host since when we play it cannot be on either of our hosts! That's right ho, eat your one thousand.

Edit: oh man i came across way more serious than i was supposed to there. i still think youre hot army chick :(




Posted by cool gamer dad

We're not friends anymore!


Still, playing XBC on a host that lives 1300 miles away does not sound attractive. Come over to my house and we'll LAN.

I was laughing too hard about it. I just couldn't keep a straight face... Could have gone on for hours on how stupid it made him look! But really, there's no merit in a Halo 2 snipe.

I like how all of the "big level 40's" are getting RAPED at Team Hardcore.

I can however, beat the whole game on Hard mode in just over 2 hours. I must say, after playing Legendary, Hard becomes even easier.

I'd say so when not trying to do cool stuff.

That game was sick, too. Good thing we lost; it'd have been more embarassing for us to win with those awful kids on our team.:(

Also, XBC with Stinger and Flounder went well. It was Flounder's host, with the two split-screening it up, while I singled it up. GGs.

Quoting misogenie: [COLOR=DarkGreen]Halo 2 last level. I had the feeling I would ride the giant mosquito-like enemy vehicle, it's seems indestructible. When you try to blast one of it's legs with the ghost(I think), the leg barely has a scratch and probably would feel like a pinprick if this giant mechanical bug was alive. This bug has firepower that can blast STAR WARS Death Planet in one shot. Just this giant bug could take out more than a 1000 alien flying vehicles, and still be in one piece - I truly believe this is so. As it turned out, I couldn't ride this bug because it's not part of the game. Instead, it was a ghost I had to ride to enter the door entrance, made way by one single blast from the giant bug, to the last stage. [/COLOR]Disappointing ending.




there are some powersaves that have it so u can wield the scarab gun in the form of a wart hog gun or plasma rifle and other stuff so u can actually use it on metropolis.

Does anybody actually play Halo (1 or 2) extensively, still? I mean, I know there are people back in the big UT that LAN, and such, but do any of you still have a lot of friends that are playing? I know it's only been like two months since I left, but I figure... you know... with me gone, the whole operation is shot. Without me, what is Halo 2 Xbox Live? It's just another online-FPS, y'know?




Posted by Cronoan

Without you bby, I quit playing. :( Haven't been on in over a month.

Of course this has nothing to do with the fact that no one but a bunch of fags plays anymore either. ;) Or that I dumped the one guy I played with in your absence. :P It's all you.

Sauron told me about this program today. It pretty much takes all of your stats (kills and whatnot) from Bungie.net and totals them together. You can arrange the stats into Matchmaking, Ranked, Unranked, Custom, and use all other types of sorting. It keeps track of other things, such as Medals and Accuracy, but since Bungie.net doesn't keep track of these things for any more than a few weeks, it'll only gather what's available. If you make use of this program, scan every other week (or month, for most of you) if you want to keep your medals up to date. You can also make a sort of profile page, too.

Edit: Haven't checked on how to get it online yet. So far the profile page is just taken from Program Files.

Oh, and it's free.

Posted by cool gamer dad

Please don't check my Inspector days. I'm not exactly proud.

I downloaded that a long time ago and it still took four hours for it to count my games up. And as of six months ago when I downloaded it, I was there for over 23,000 of Snip's kills. We played a lot.

Flounder has an overall negative kills-to-death ratio, but I always remembered him either doing really bad (like 4-9 bad), and sometimes he'd do rediculously good (16-4 ish). Though he does get host a majority of his games. So we keep him as a valuable member of the team. :)

I can't remember what Ken was like, although I do remember him being almost impossible to kill at times. Oh, and I remember he'd call EVERY SINGLE THING out to the point where the whole team would get ****ed off. Ken was pretty cool I guess. :cool:

Skitzo is just Skitzo. Always the team man while Ian, John and I would run out and slaughter/be slaughtered. SPF 50 was just some hick clan consisting of one Jesus Christ and three FFA players.

I look foward to Halo 3 actually. If you don't get back on Halo 2, Ian, then I'll see you on the sequel until we get bored of it. And oh yeah, I can't join your games, Dan, so don't feel bad when I don't join. :( OH, and when you get your box back, Phil, send me a PM. I don't use AIM.

Far Cry, among other things, had the absolute worst AI I've seen in a long time. Crap in plenty of other areas, too. Pretty to look at, atleast. Not to mention the Vista version of Halo 2 is supposed to have a map editor, so that "advantage" won't last too long, imo.

Oh, and disregard that humiliating MLG game on Lockout. We were trying to set up a wicked spawn lock on you guys but we couldn't stop the guys from running from bottom lift to glass!

We've found out how to make the other team spawn at bottom elevator or back wall every time on Ivory, so we can just sit there and snipe them when they spawn. The lock on Midship is hard to set up, but you can force them to spawn Carbine 2 every time if you have someone in Pink Room or pink 3, both bases, and one in the top middle near sword.

Combo is gone now. MLG is no duals on map.


But you don't understand. The spawn lock on Ivory Tower is insane. Now, it's pretty crap trying to set it up. You'd have to have a guy right on overshield, one at back wall, one at bottom shotgun, and a guy at middle elevator (does the spawn killing). With this, the other team will spawn at bottom elevator every time.

You can literally sit there with a sword, waiting for someone to spawn right in front of you if you're the middle elevator man.


If all goes wrong, back wall is what we do. :)

Seriously, did you even consider google? It took me 0.34 seconds to find this page:


Quoted post: Butterfly:
This trick can help get you to high places. On Xbox Live or split screen mode, go to the locatoin against a wall where you want to go. Make sure you have rockets (recommended) or a sword, then look up. Get a player to stand on your head. Make sure that person is an enemy. The player on your head needs to keep on jumping while you keep pressing X + B. You should get to the top if you balanced all the way

while i was looking up superjumps i found 1 where u flip a banshee stand on the pod on the end of the wing then use rockets 2 shoot the oposite wing if done right u will hit the top of the level (yes its that good)

I understand that, Army Chick, but the fact that you need to be so far spread out makes it dangerous. After LANing with bad people so much lately (all they play is Swords), I've noticed how easy it is to dodge the Sword. All you need to do is either sidestep right or jump when they're coming from above. If your Sword guy screws up one time, you just put them in good position to swarm each of you, and get one power weapon at a time.

Black wall is the way to go, 90% of the time.:)

This can be done on basically any level with a Banshee. Except you have to have overshielf.(I tried it the 1st time, I died, then re-read the page) I like doing it on Headlong. I know a bunch of superjumps/glitches/tricks, if anybody here wants to know some, PM me.

The story is awful. It's even worse when it's fairly apparent the developer doesn't seem to care about it. Not only is it pretty unoriginal, but the way it's played out in the games it brutal.

Also, since when did a cliffhanger equal "zomg great movie!". If anything, it detracts from the experience and lessens the quality of the movie. It makes it feel incompletely, especially when you're certain the next installment is going to suck balls.

Hello, my name is Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.

I'm excited about the single player actually bothering to let us play ON EARTH FOR MORE THAN TWO MISSIONS. Y'know. Like they advertised in Halo 2.



Posted by Alastor

I'd like that, as well. It should happen, since I honestly can't figure where else they'd put you in the campaign besides Earth. Well, there's the possibility of playing The Arbiter or another Elite character, but other than that, I figure there'll be Earth levels, Covenant cruiser levels, and a few Ark levels.

Yeah, the Earth missions were the best part of Halo 2's SP I think. I guess it's just more interesting to see something you can relate to that's been totally distroyed.



Posted by Alastor

Just depends on how you look at it. I actually liked the Halo 2 campaign. Two Earth levels were disappointing, but I thought it was pretty enjoyable.

I said I wouldn't buy Halo 3 just for the single player. Probably not the main reason, either, but if it didn't even have multiplayer, I'd still buy it.




Posted by Skitzo Control

I heard the AR was in a Halo 3 trailer, but I didn't believe. I'm half-hoping they'll use the Havok engine again, but this time make some decent use of it. That, and I sure hope to get the fast-paced of Halo 1 back. Halo 2 is only fast-paced if you play without a Battle Rifle or Sniper, and then the game is just all about spray-and-pray.

I'm not saying to do it before 3 comes out. Just eventually make a remake. They don't have to scrap anything into it. Maybe add a level or two, change the graphics, and Enable Xbox Live. I'm sure that wouldn't take too much effort. And I never said they'd do it before 3 came out :-P

XBC is awful if you don't know exactly who you're playing already, and even then it's mediocre.

Better than nothing if you really want to play Halo 1 online. Because the chances of a remake or update of Halo is pretty slim.




Posted by cool gamer dad

XBC is bad, but when you own some cocky Dymdez kid 2v2 ****ation on his host... it's pretty fun.

I'm no halo-pro now, but if Halo CE was on XBL, I know it would be nearly as bad as on XBC. A game that requires such accuracy would not work out on the average XBL host.

But anyway, if I played too much Halo CE, I'd get tired of it. That's why occasionally LANing it is fun.

Wow. What's new? I just love having someone run up behind me with a rocket launcher, and then saying what a n00b I am. It's great.



Posted by Skitzo Control

There are only about 20 people still playing H1, Myr. H2, there are hundreds.

As for the "noob" comment, I'd have to agree with them. If you're better than your opponent, you should have the Rocket Launcher every time it spawns. The same thing goes with having Overshield and Camo. Halo 1 is all about two things: Pistol and Power Ups. If you aren't better at controlling them than your opponent, you'll probably lose. The same goes for Halo 2 (except take out the "Pistol" part), but the H2 Power Ups (the OS, Rocket, Sword, and Sniper) have a much larger impact on the game.




Posted by s0ul

I was playing more than 3 or 4 months ago, there was like 30 hosts at the very most. It's pretty dead.

And yeah, I hate when people brag about their kills with power weapons (sans snipes), but what Skitzo says is also true.

That's right, I got THE S0Ul backing me up all up in here.

what do u guys prefer halo 1, or halo 2??
i personally think that halo 2 is more developed and has better things than halo 1 even though they both rock!




Posted by Skitzo Control

Easily, Halo 1 takes the torch. Halo 1 was all about one thing: skill and control. If I'm more skilled than my opponent, I'll win. There's no doubt in that. In Halo 2, even if I'm more skilled than my opponent, they can win simply because they spawned in the better place, especially if you're not playing MLG settings.

Posted by Ayu

ooohhh i like the alien sniper forgot wht it was called sry




Posted by Alastor

It'd have to be the pistol, but it didn't bother me to find it retooled in Halo 2.

Best moment I had in Halo 1, hands down, would be my cousin playing me in a 1v1 FFA and saying, "The pistol sucks. This is the worst ****ing gun in the game. Where's the rocket launcher spawn?" Then having that game end, my Kill - Death ratio 60 - 1, using nothing but a pistol for the whole game. :)

I liked Halo 1 for being more.. epic, so to speak. I honestly do prefer Halo 2, which is probably why I'm not uberpro, right Phil? :cookie:


Edit: That's the Beam Rifle you're thinking of.




Posted by NeXidala

lol my best halo moment was wen my cousins were over and we were doin 2player story mode and then my ego maniac cousin was all like "watch and learn" with the sniper gun and as he is scutting bak in the game to get a perfect shot he falls off the cliff!!!!!!!!! LMAO it was so funny

No, you're not "uberpro" because you're not me!:mad:
On a more serious note, a lot of people prefer Halo 2 because of the semi-level playing field, even if you are a better player. I'm tremendously better than anybody I've played out here (not to be arrogant, it's just true), but every one of these idiots will at least break 5 in a 1v1 game. In Halo 1, I haven't had a single person get more than two kills on me, yet. Halo 2 is a lot simpler to learn to play, too; no matter which way your opponent is moving, as long as your reticle is red, you'll be able to hit them (with very few and rare exceptions). As for Halo 1, shooting when your reticle is red usually means you'll miss your shots, thus meaning you have to rely a little more on your ability to lead than the games programming to get you a kill.

XBC does compensate for a lot of points, sometimes, and even off-host on LAN can be a five point difference.

By the way, I don't recall any of our games being completely one-sided (with the exception of our first few games, and the occasional Rat Race or ****ation game where I hoarded camo and the spawns suck). From what I can remember, it seems that our games were always only a max of a five point difference, for either side.

I joined a friend of mine that I'd just met in a custom game, and they were playing some bastardized version of Zombies called Survivor. All it is is Zombies with a different name and it's always played on ****ing huge maps instead of Foundation or somewhere like that. Everyone gathers in an open yet easy to defend place, like the beach near rocket spawn on Relic. The lone zombie guy was jumping from wall to wall over the rocket spawn, and the I bxr rambo I kid tries to snipe him and wastes a full clip. I had a BR, and took him down in one shot. Then he explodes, telling me I wasted ammo. I ask him how I wasted ammo when I'm not the one who missed an entire ****ing sniper clip, and he boots me. I've seen him like once since, and he didn't say anything. I think I won. *oscar*

I was playing Halo for like an hour. Its highly overrated in my opinion. I was either bored or lost almost the whole time. Then I started riding this jeep thing.. and the controls for it sucked.




Posted by Alastor

Yeah, games that you don't know how to play are horrible.

Warthog controls take like two minutes to get used to.




Posted by WackoHater2

I'm not saying the game sucked. I'll be back in front of my Xbox tomorrow playing again. But the game was given the Game of the Year award. I just think its over rated. It doesnt live up to the hype. I'm sure I'll get used to it and get better. That first level was confusing me. Everything looked the same. I kept getting lost.




Posted by Alastor

That kinda makes me feel bad since I could probably go through the Halo 2 campaign blindfolded. :(

But yes, Halo: CE's first level does look similar almost everywhere. It gets better, though. Judging a game when you haven't even beaten the first level is pretty shallow. Try completing it on Easy if you have to. There's a lot of fun to be had.




Posted by WackoHater2

I'm playing through on easy right at the moment. I might not really play tomorrow. Its 2:10 AM right now.. so I'll probably wake up at like 12:00 PM tomorrow. My girlfriend is coming over at like 3.. and then my hands will be far too busy for an Xbox controller;). I might play for a while before she comes over though. I am probably gonna go to bed in a minute, so if I dont post here anymore, thats where I am.

I was just sitting around in a red polo, wearing a pair of black slacks, and playing Halo 2 Campaign (I feel bad for that last part, though), and I got jumped by seventy-three horny, virgin, adventurous Catholic schoolgirls. Some of them barely spoke english. It was awesome.

You know what rules about Halo 1? Nobody´s good at it, here. I´ve found some good Halo 2 players (not better than me, but I actually lose some games when I play with them, thanks to a few anchors), but not a single player can keep up in H1. It´s sad.:-(

i think that in halo 2 in colagation u should get the sniper rifle at a base doesn't matter which one and the brute shot it is a awesome close up weapon and if your not close shove some grenades in the enemy or the rocket launcher in the middle if your enemy is a banshee freak. But if your enemy gets in a tank get the rocket launcher and run for the mountain and get to the top u can get a good lookover of the battle field,get some grenade and there is some ammo between the rocks close to the entrance then get to the base they start of ( if u have a sniper rifle get ammo) And wait for him to respawn the kill him.

I went to a PC LAN Tournament and rocked the Halo PC like no other. I didn't die a single time in the 1v1 games (Wizard, 4 rounds, single elimination.), and the 4v4 Tourney (Three rounds of Swiss, CTF BG) I just grabbed three guys from the 1v1 and nobody ever got a single cap on us. It was way easy. Easiest $50 I ever made.

Are you kidding me? The local GameStop spawns nothing but idiots that actually say "p-own!" I haven't even played people that can keep me from reaching a Riot in 1v1 in H1 and H2. The only people I have hope for are these guys that LAN once-a-week on Sunday. I got them to start LANing recently, after one of their friends said, "My brother and I will p-own you and your friend 2v2," to which I responded, "****, I'll take both you on, 2v1, with a Handicap." After I beat them 25-3, they decided they wanted to beat me, and won't stop LANing until they do.

People de-level so they'll play more games with lower ranked kids, thus slaughtering them. I don't get it though.




Posted by cool gamer dad

A lot of people do it just because they just "don't care about matchmaking" or because "matchmaking is gay", or "because I don't care about my level". Which in truth they do care, otherwise they wouldn't bother doing it.

It's "cool" to have a low level, "because all of the proz have low levels because they only play customz I want to look like a pro!". But then all of the proz started playing matchmaking, so everyone was like "yeah i need to get up my lvlz", but then everyone got over the whole level thing until the stat reset.

lol

I don't delevel, because if I ever felt like rapin' up the little halo kiddies I'd just play with Flounder Juan. That, or I'd use a 2-month.

Is there anyone good online that doesn't exploit map lines, super jumps, and the various other Halo glitches? Because I'm the best out of my entire group of friends and their family members (I don't even have an Xbox anymore) and I constantly try and find good people to play against online with my friend Lon's cousin's account. But no matter what I do, I see people shooting across the map at super speeds and sniping out of rockwall and it gets extremely aggravating.

Thank-you for clarifying that my theory isn't all bull****! =D



Posted by Skitzo Control

Actually, I'm going to have to put that theory to rest. I know it makes sense, and so forth, but I'm afraid it isn't entirely true. The best way to play isn't with people better than you, but against people the same skill as you with some form of handicap (IE XBC off-host). I didn't own an Xbox when I first played, and I was the worst player among my friends Dragon, Inchy, and Sauce. Once I got one, I immediately downloaded XBC, borrowed a friend's hub, and played a lot of off-host games. Mind you, this was during the H1 days, so there were hundreds of games going on at any point of time. In less than a week, I had become the best of the four of us playing, better than Sauce, who had been playing with Rippon, Nakamura, Nataku, and the gang as often as I had been playing XBC.

Also, so you all know, Ogres became so great through XBC, too. Even if they played people better than them, it was the handicap of off-host and lag that got them the wins.




Posted by s0ul

I dunno, playing someone you're dead even with did the most for me. I'd still be bad if I hadn't played Kenn so much. Having a handicap that makes you two fairly even works nicely too, used to do that with MalaysianMafia when we were hittin' up that 2v2 tourney ****.

And Phil, it's hard to imagine inchy and sauce being better than you. :p




Posted by Skitzo Control

I wish I could get a tourney going on in this town... I'm thinking of printing out some flyers and passing 'em out around, stapling them to light posts, and the like, to try to scare up some decent players.

Posted by Alastor

Is "limiting" yourself to BR and starting the other person with rockets in a Lockout 1v1 an acceptable handicap? Because my cousin is terrible.

Lol only played online for Xboxzzzzz like 2 times, well i guess if u take my skills it kinda looks like this.


How I play:


1 vs 1: 55% chance of winning
Multiplayer with a good team: 97% chance of winning
Multiplayer with a bad team: 48% chance of winning
Mods/glitches/hacks: 0% chance of winning ( i h8 em )


so far my best motivation was that my team got into a conlict cuz some1 bsed someone else on accident and omg it started a big line of bsing well i was trying to get the **** team back in order we were getting killed by Hog going around and around our base plus we were killing eachother (well not me) so i jumped off rocketed the **** out of that hog and whiped out pistol (It was Halo not 2) and basicly killed 5 guys by myself -.- ****ed me off but they got the **** point. the only way of winning is to work together and travle in groups. we ended up tying that game 1 to 1 (it was CTF) soooo mabeyz i am good :O :P

Using your rather stupid percentages, if you only have a 55% chance of winning in Halo, that means you are about an average player, and, considering that the average player is really, really bad, I'd say you're a fairly lousy player. If you're playing with a good team, then you must be the anchor, if your ability to win rockets up so far. Second, playing with a bad team, I notice your chance of winning doesn't go down much from your 1v1 chances, thus more entailing me that you're not much better than those other bad players.

If your team falls apart because of a simple act of betrayal, your team is not at all unified. It happens every-now-and-then, good players do well to remember that. I am fairly certain you're a liar about this situation, simply because I'm certain you were playing Blood Gulch, and in order for you to have the Rocket Launcher, you would have had to spawn in a safe area where the Warthog boys couldn't kill you, travel (either through the portal or on foot, the former being the more likely) to the center of the map to get the Rocket Launcher, walked back to your base (and you couldn't have seen the aforementioned Warthog still circling your base, or you would have shot at it BEFORE you even got on top of your base) made it safely to the top of your base, then proceeded to jump off and kill those silly noobs. You killed 7 people total, which means you were playing an 8 v 8 CTF BG game (every time that phrase is spoken, God sodomizes a kiteen), which is where you went wrong, in the first place. Your opponents must have been really, really bad, too, because on the off-chance that you killed those last 5 with your pistol, you would have had to reload at least once (on the even more unlikelihood that you killed each one of them with three shots, each). If five guys with just their dicks in their hands couldn't kill you in that amount of time, there's something wrong. In Halo 1, the only way to win is to be a better player, period. End of story. Staying in groups in H1 was a dumb idea, especially considering the massive splash damage from all explosions, how quickly a Shotgun can decimate a player, how easily the Sniper rifle rips through players (double-penetration rules), and the amazing power of a quick-three shot from the pistol.

Now, if I am interpreting what you said incorrectly when I said you killed seven people, when you actually killed five, my statement still stands quite true. If you somehow out-pistoled three guys after rocketing a Warthog and then switching to said pistol, you were playing with really, really bad people. If you fired at and killed each of those opponents in three shots each, you would have just fired 9 shots. In that same amount of time (disregarding the time it took you to switch to your pistol), those players could have fired a minimum of 2-5-8 shots from a pistol, (or 5-8-11, approximately, including the time it takes for you to switch weapons) respectively. That's 15 total shots coming at you (24 with switch-weapon time), and you mean to tell me that not even 1/3 of those shots (the maximum amount it would take to kill you) hit you? And if those guys weren't carrying pistols, what the hell were they carrying? If they had anything OTHER than a pistol in the given situation, my assumption that they wouldn't know their asshole from a hole in the ground when it comes to Halo seems to be the more and more obvious. Either that, or you're a liar.




Posted by cool gamer dad

You spawn with a plasma pistol under default slayer settings.




Posted by Skitzo Control

No, you don't, you spawn with a Plasma Pistol on Blood Gulch under Custom-Generic settings, not Normal-Generic. Normal-Generic is a set weapon spawn for all maps, Custom-Generic is a set weapon spawn for certain maps. Only one map that I can recall (Hang 'em High) doesn't spawn you with a Plasma Pistol.
