Subject: 5 things I learned in a month of playing xbox live.

Please no group invites... I only play MLG customs and don't spend my time wasting it on groups,clans or any other internet social crap.

Posted by: Poopfoot
It's only been a little over a week now, but what I've learned thus far:

1. Always play on mute. I play without a headset because my son also plays. Nothing like to trying to explain what "F this" and "F that" means plus I don't like getting cussed at by people who sound like Mickey Mouse on helium.
2. About 75% of my games are played on Lockout.
3. My favorite map is Midship.
4. Using the sniper rifle is a heckuvalot harder online than when playing the campain.
5. I'm not calling it cheating, but I'm not a fan of folks who uses glitches to win -- probably because one player beat (very badly I might add) me and three other players on SWAT Team Slayer BR on Sanctuary by use the double shot over and over and over -- which leads to my No. 6.
6. I need to practice . . . a lot.


Not to be mean, but you did name yourself POOPFOOT?

No certain order.
1.If your own team mate is shooting at you nonstop but not killing you, don't kill him he just wants to boot you.

2.The noob combo is able to be countered.

3.If you leave your aimy thing that turns red when you point at an enemy where it is when you first appear, its automatically at head level.

4.clans are pretty much just a second friends list.

5.The sword lunge can be dodged.

1. You are a mentally retarded
2. You are still being a fucl(ing noob noob
3. You are 6AY
4. I want to get your sister to make oral se>< with me
5 . Yo momma is a fucl(ing big fat pig.

RIP Halo 2.

Play MLG customs with good people to get better with the BR and overall. That's the most important thing you can learn.

You sir, need help.

Greatest of all time

(insert number here). BxR and RRx and BxB are CHEATING, no matter what MLG says

  • 07.03.2007 2:21 PM PDT

I hate dial up

Heres wha tI learned.

1) Little kids swear more times than any other age group

2) parents need to diciplin these kids.

3) Hardcore is where all the people without the new maps go to play (I'm one of them)

3) When someone isn't playing, just hit them once, they usually play after that.

4) teabagging is a form of expression.

and something that bothers me is what are the parents doing while there little "angels" are on live swearigna nd making racist remarks?

1. The needler and sentinel beam are the two most irritating weapons to your and their team, even if you are not killing anything.
2. Camping all game and going 9-0 makes you bad when your teammates cause the loss by going 14-19, 12-14, and 7-14.
3. When they use the kombo, vehicles, power weapons, or anything but the needler, its okay. The moment you use any of the aforementioned, you are being a noobcake, etc.
4. A team with a decent host rifle will usually win in larger maps
5. all music on halo is n-word music. Even country. If n-word cannot be used as an adjective, then your mother or homo-blam!-ly related words are used
6. 1v1 challenges always means MLG on lockout. If you go up by more than 5, you will be booted.
7. 1v1 challenges are great for laughs. Join the pregame lobby, talk trash, and keep delaying the countdown
8. the blue screen is caused by the host downloading T3|-| pr0|\|$. Stop downloading crap while you are playing halo.
9. Always leave feedback on the opposite team. They are doing the same to you whether you know it or not.
10. Teabagging along with your mother jokes are essential for the holistic halo 2 experience. Lack of either makes for a boring game.

I hope you're enjoying your first month of Xbox Live!! May you have many more :-D

Now, about your two and five, I respectfully disagree. Noob Combo will miss sometimes, if you don't aim it in the vicinity of the opponent, but it can't really be countered. I've seen it fire at me, and I react in time to move behind something, but it always finds some way to hit me :-/

I'm not complaining about it though. The combo is a power weapon, and like all power weapons, are designed to kill quickly and efficiently, although it may not take that much "skill" to use (it still takes skill though.)

About 5, I have yet to dodge a sword lunge. There are times when I'll get lucky and due to random latency the sword guy will lunge past me or even through me. But I can't dodge swords. If you have tips on how to, I'd definitely like to hear them (because I always die by the sword LOL.)

But yeah, keep having fun playing. Xbox Live is great! (Though equally frustrating!)

6. If you don't have a team, you won't go anywhere in levels


Not necessarily true. I can get to low 30s in every gametype without a team, and low 40s back when rumble pit was ranked. Although I pretty much carried the team every game I played.

Also I find my sensitivity of 10 to be too slow. I have a very neat trick though of jumping over my opponent's head and assassinating them before they can turn around.

Sword lunge is difficult to dodge, but your best chance are by continually moving to the right. Jumping helps if you're in really close quarters. But more often than not you'll still die. I also found that a melee attack timed early (Before you think they lunge) will smack swordie before he can cut you. Bullet hose him some, and then do the early club to the face and he will die. Teabag and take his sword. Timing is really funky though.

To evade the noob. Drop a duel wheeled (I can't spell) weapon to hit the plasma pistol shot. It's hard, but possible. FOr the sword, hold a direction, when you're lunged at, jump while still holding that direction. It's easy.

6. I never look at little kids the same anymore

7. Big Team is where every little kid in the whole world goes to scream

8. Boot ANYONE that betrays you, even if it was an accident.
I learned this one from big team!

9. Booting is the best part of the game, and it should be used whenever it can be

10. ALWAYS BOOT THE PLAYER

11. When you boot him and it goes into blue screen, tell every one that you booted him and just keep repeating it
"I booted him! I booted him! I booted him! I booted him! I booted him! I booted him! I booted him!"


I think that you have discovered a new level of annoying.....

This would be a good time to point out that the US Government seriously did consider nuking the moon during the Cold War as a show of force. Project A119.

"A large explosion on the Terminator line would put the sun behind the mushroom cloud, making the explosion visible with the naked eye from Earth."

Then the US decided they'd just send in Neil Armstrong to land on it. Neil Armstrong - the one man on the earth that was considered a suitable replacement for a nuclear missile.

-If you have a clan, don't let anyone in unless they are 16+ years old.
-If you have a tank and a teammate wants a ride don't move untill he gets off. Otherwise you might shoot him by accident and end up getting booted.
-Never, ever, ever, ever, EVER keep your mic on when there is more than one screaming 13 year old playing. If there is only one just -blam!- with him for a while to piss him off. That is the funnest thing to do.
By the way, have you ever noticed how whenever there is a 13 year old playing he always says "You suck. I bet your balls haven't even dropped yet."
