Well i downloaded the Landfall video
Thought it was awesome

I hope they make the recon armor buyable

I CANNOT wait to see the new banhammer excuses!

I wish if you both had low health and you melee that BOTH people would die
(I once got assassinated by someone I assassinated at the same time, it was awesome)

And new maps = AWESOME and can never come too soon!

Bungie and Microsoft are both making vague claims about this system having some magical ability to determine your "true" skill level and vaguely suggesting that your performance in-game somehow affects your rank. But if you read Microsoft's own material on how Truskill works, this appears to be a bunch of BS. The system actually still only considers whether your team won or lost in team games. Just like Halo 2. Unless Halo 3 uses some modified version of Truskill, nothing you do in the game affects your rank. Only what place you finish in the game. And in team games, you can only finish 1st (if your team wins) or 2nd (if your team loses). Nothing else is considered. I don't know what the true explanation is for all the apparent anomolies that people are experiencing, but according to Microsoft's material on Truskill it has nothing to do with your performance in the game.

Here is a link to a thread I participated in on this topic. The thread author links several articles from Microsoft in the Original post. Some of them are technical in nature and quite confusing, but they explain how Truskill works, and it does not consider any aspect of your in-game performance. It only considers the final outcome. Again, this is how Truskill works, perhaps Bungie can clarify if Halo 3 uses some modified version which does consider in-game performance.

Edit: The IGN article listed in this thread is actually incorrect in its explanation. The Microsoft articles all support my explanation above.

dont mean to be rude dude, and its not like I know either, but I dont see why your mad unless you've had this same thing happen. I've gone down in level in matches that I've won. not that I have a bad attitude about it, but like everyone else I'm just curious why.

its not like some preset achievement that unlocks armor, you've gotta be in a freak accident pretty much. one that involves the game's advanced physics engine, and has to be pretty much unfair, embarrassing, and pretty dang funny. so just keep playing, and who knows? mabey one day you'll get splattered by something rediculous or sniped by your own bullett too.

What do you mean the double shot?

I would agree that recon armor is pointless for us. Scout armor looks cooler... at least the helmet anyways and forget the rest. But why would we need another helmet? To make people jealous? Why? Take what you get and be thankful for what you have. The recon armor shows that they are a part of bungie and that is what we are not so deal with it. Complaining never helps but to annoy...

  • 11.09.2007 8:10 PM PDT

And did we forget of what we could get of which is better than pointless recon helmets? Re-makes of vehicles, weapons and maps? Also the bug fixing like melee and no campaign clips to yes campaign clips. Also what about that brute player model? This would shut up those recon helmet worshippers. I do my part and make tons of maps that take an entire day to make to perfection and they are loved by all who play them. They ask me to put it on my file share like you wouldnt believe. Feels like all that bugging bungie over recon armor here. Too bad I dont just get bungie pro and bam problem solved. Them you have people telling me you should work for bungie. Feels like I already am...

Hey Frankie or lukems, how exactly do you know when something like that happens? I mean, do you go through our file shares, or if we really think it's worth it should we pm you? Because I haven't uploaded this to my file share YET, but it's a picture of a seriously glitched out Master Chief, I shot him out of a Mongoose and his leg is now attached to his body only by a long, black, tube, looks like rubber or something. Here is the link to the forum, and the picture is there too. Demented Spartan Forum & Picture
