its sad that the beta ends in a week, it just goes to show you that you dont really know how much to appreciate something until it is gone.

10. Scavenging other people’s kills – if you didn’t kill him, you have no business crouching on him.

I definately agree - I think it's funny when some guy runs over and starts teabaggin my body when his buddy got the kill. For me, I've been using this as motivation to murder the entire team and teabag them back for being so stupid.


9. Vetoing casually – Think twice before vetoing a game you only half dislike. Murphy’s Law states that the next choice will be worse.

Yes - I agree - I don't get why people will almost always veto a regular game, yet when it's shotty/snipers for the 10th game in a row nobody wants to veto. What's up with that??

8. Taking off in the Hog alone – You may as well drive around in a huge magnetic target.

I would like to add a part to this - don't take off in the hog alone - but ALSO - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE quit being idiots and staring at the empty hog and then running away to the mancannon or something. Why are so many people so stupid that they would rather run around on foot that hand out massive carnage from a shielded, unlimited ammo, fully automatic turret??? It's frustrating to see someone driving around by themselves, but it's even more frustrating to follow your deaf teammates around beeping the horn.

7. Talking trash to teammates – Yelling at strangers is bad enough, but do you think yelling at your compatriots will make them play better? Drink some chocolate milk and shut your cretinous noisehole.

Umm - then tell my teammates not to be garbage. When it's 5 minutes into the game, the score is 48-47 and you have one teammate that still has 0 kills with 46 deaths, there comes a time when being cordial to the dummy isn't enough. I don't care if he's my teammate, to me with 0 kills and a billion deaths, he is a traitor and should be executed as such. Put your chocolate milk down and shoot someone, I know the water is pretty distracting and all, but come on. Now for the whiners that moan when you pick up the shotty/sniper/ whatever before they could, yes, i agree, those people need to shut up.

6. Blasting your music at us – Yes, you’re hardcore. You love mad rhymes and phat beats. We don’t care. Turn it off. We already muted you, you spaz.

I agree.. it's like.. come on idiot - use your head - your basically streaming songs to the other 7+ people in the game, and you are wondering why the game is so laggy?????

5. Insulting the room before the teams are chosen – Now I don’t want to cooperate with you.

Well, don't play unranked games and you won't have this problem.

4. Shooting me specifically, with the Needler – Stop it. I hate you.

HAHA - I'm going to hunt you down - but yes.. i agree.. when a good player gets the needler, it's all over and BOOM you go flying across the level.

3. Racism, abuse, foul language – We muted you already. So now you’re just a sad idiot yelling into a vacuum. Actually, go right ahead. Maybe a relative will smack you or get you the help you need.

Yes.

2. Insulting Gamertags – Obviously Live can’t automatically detect every idiotic Gamertag you come up with, especially with your L337 combos, so how about this: Just quit being a moron.

Yah - like the guy I was in a game with that spent the whole time crouching in corners whose name was "Halo 3 SUCKS" - I know i know, it's not like we are all going to cry about it - but it's the principle of the matter - there are thousands that would give their left ball to play the beta, and yet there are donkeys out there who could care less and see it as a chance to piss people off. Why don't you just make a cardboard sign that says "I hate my life" and go stand on a corner - at least there you can show people how big and badass you really are since you're such a huge internet bully.

1. Going to the bathroom while playing – this gem was found on a Halo 3 post in another forum. Names have been hidden to protect the guilty:

Hmm... i haven't dealt with this - but hey - you guys created this problem for all of us by having the automatic game start once one game is over. I have had numerous times where i had to either smoke a cig, drop the kids off at the pool, make a snack, etc.. and set my controller down once the game was over because it takes so frigging long to just end a game, only to forget that some BRILLIANT designer thought it would be a great idea to have the games start automatically. It's not like that even helps... If i'm going to play another game, it takes less time to back out and start a new one then to wait for the automatic start... so why have it? The only purpose I see that serving is that of assisting derankers and other scumbags in dropping their levels - all they have to do is start one game, walk away for 4 hours, and they've deranked half of the halo3 population because of it. THIS IS YOUR FAULT BUNGIE

They don't read it at all. They just want to get on the first page with comments like "1st page!!!!!!
!!!11eleven Z0MGH4XZ0RZZZ!!!" Apperently, it changes the way they see life and it changes their future.

Anyway, great update. Love the Top 10 and I REALLY want those models!

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

I don't think I get the halo clix thing... why just not play the actual game?

  • 06.02.2007 12:51 PM PDT

Spartans don't die, they simply go to hell and regroup.

Great update. I'm not sure how this Clix game will work out.. I wish that the WarHammer creators could've been the ones to make the figures and game.. they are all geniouses.

Where's the weekly MisterChief? I think you should photoshop up a MisterChief Clix figure..

  • 06.02.2007 1:43 PM PDT

Go Rockets!!!

Yao Ming is back!!!

WTF where is Mister Chief. He is the best thing about every update. (:

Lukems why would you take your controller to the bathroom? Thats just disgusting!!!!!

  • 06.02.2007 2:01 PM PDT

Thats a beautfiul update to read.

As good as the game plays right now there are without a doubt some slight tweaks that need to be made to things such as the BR and Carbine.

If I could add something I would appreciate and I think that most other hardcore fans of H:CE would appreciate you doing the pistol justice or leaving it out of the game. It doesnt have to be the monster it was in H:CE but please oh please do not make it a dual. Either do the gun justice or leave it as a beautiful nostalgic memory. The way it is right now is the worst thing that could have been done.

  • 06.02.2007 2:21 PM PDT

I am losing RP and rank for quitting when i am not. At least every few games I get black uploading screen and then the boot. It tells me everyone else quit, that i won, and then the game is over.

  • 06.02.2007 2:58 PM PDT

did i miss something? Is the pistol in the beta? Or when you said "The way it is right now" were you talking about halo 2?

XD I lol'd.

Now the thing that sucks for us, is that we’ll never be able to experience the game properly.
Possibly the only reason I can think of for not wanting to work at Bungie.

So in EGM(1UP), you guys had a "friendly" match in Halo 3, right? And, by friendly, I mean all-out war.

No it is not in the Beta. However, if you happened to play a custom game, which apperantly many players have, you had the ability to play with every weapon... Sword, Pistol... So, I haven't personally used it, but I've heard its the same as it was in Halo2.

Also, I too miss Mister Cheif and would buy Halo Chess!

I have never cried before reading the bungie weekly update... but this week I have. First my internet hasn't worked until this saturday night, and then the thing that I live for each week, a glorius drawing of Mr. Chief was not there... what will my desktop be this week. Please Frankie make a Mr. Chief less my desktop be the same for a week.


Thank you

The one big change I would like to see in the weapons, that hasn't really been discussed yet, is to see the implementation of 'variable damage'. What I mean by 'variable damage' is that if you get shot point blank with a magnum in the head, that should cause more damage, say, than getting shot from halfway across the map. In real life, bullets slow down over distance. In some respect I would like to see that shown in the game. Just as weapon accuracy varies with distance, the damage done should as well, to some degree. I don't know if the internal testers are planning on looking at that or not, but I would think that would be something worth reviewing.

There is a simple solution to the above bad habit: Have the TV near the bathroom or go to the bathroom before the game starts
