They are exclusively available at http://www.astrogaming.com or at any Major League Gaming event, they have a booth. The speaker tags I use were given away at MLG Meadowlands 09, so to get those, you gotta go to events ;)

I went to pro halo tips and downloaded the guide to my computer but i cant click on any of the links cause it says i need a password for ebook. HELP!!!


My friends over at Pro Halo Tips are the professional team, Team Classic. They offer their guide as a download for free so that you can see what is all in the guide, but before you are allowed to view the actual information, you must pay $25 via paypal. From there, they will email you a password. It's well worth the money. I wouldn't recommend people away from my free guide to a guide that costs money unless I thought it was well worth it. I am currently working with them and seeing if I can get them to give me a $5.00 off coupon or something to give to all of you who read my thread.

I don't understand why people keep asking other people if they are a sugary substance used to spread on bagels and toast.

What's a 50 worth if not earned? Enjoy the journey, not the goal.

Moreover, what's the point in cheating if you won't be able to hold your own at the 50 you cheat for? Isn't the point of Trueskll to make matches as fair as possible?

Your setup video is awesome! Wow, I am jealous. Seriously... that is like THE ideal setup. Astro headset, wired controller, 22 inch screen with 2ms lag. Right across the room is a 42 inch. In the room next to it is a mini theater with a 110 inch projector. I really wish I had all that! Also have that painting and guitar area damn!

Anyways, I currently play on a 42 inch with 1080p. I also use a wireless controller. For my birthday I'm considering asking for a 22 inch viewsonic as well as an astro A40 headset, but i don't know how much the 22 inch is. Will it cost a fortune? My parents just got me a 15 inch macbook pro (which i love) so I cant request all too much is what they say. I was gonna just get clothes but I want to get more serious into gaming and attain my 50 by summer's end.

So, could you give me an idea the kind of lag I'm getting on a 42 inch with 1080p? It's a samsung if that helps. Again, great video and I am very jealous of that 3GS and setup.

edit: and I went to Cbus '09 and really wish I got the astros that had the event tag written on the side. Too bad I brought a friend who is stingy with his money that convinced me otherwise. also convinced me not to buy a custom nametag O-HI-OWN shirt! Word to the wise: never let friends dictate your spending. Ever.

Yeah, I got the "I (control) NY" shirt at MLG Meadowlands with the custom writing. Sadly, I missed the sign up for Columbus... which is a shame, cuz I have family down there, and that was where I was born!

No worries though. I've already got a savings going for the Dalas trip.

As for your screen, each screen is different man. The box should say it, if not, try to go to the settings on the TV, and look for an option similar to "Information" and it should say it there. If not, try to find the screen online, and it should lists it's specs.

The viewsonic is going to run you between $250-$350 depending on where you buy it. Online will get you it cheaper.

If I were you, I'd ask for the headset, as you know that is exactly what you need. You can shop around and find a comparable TV. As with myself, I held off on the ViewSonic, and found something better, for cheaper.

Where can I get those headsets? They seem to be something you'd only get from exclusive drug dealers. ;-)


They are exclusively available at http://www.astrogaming.com or at any Major League Gaming event, they have a booth. The speaker tags I use were given away at MLG Meadowlands 09, so to get those, you gotta go to events ;)
They seem amazing, but do you know any headset close to these that I can get in a.....local store maybe?

I've actually been shopping aorund for some of those today, unfortunately it seems like you can't get them outside of the US, althought here are substitutes such as Turtle Beach. Not sure how good they are though.
Any advice regarding other headsets Shadow? I really want one, if only to shut out outisde sound when I'm playing but since I can't get the Astros I was wondering if there's anything else you could suggest.
Oh, and thanks for finally getting another video up. *goes to watch new video*

I've owned every Turtle Beach headset to date except for the X4, which by the time you're up to that kind of money, you should just go for the Astro. The X1's are the least annoying, as the X2 and X3 are wireless and cause this annoying humming noise. The only thing that's not so great about the X1 is that it's just Left and Right audio, like speakers.

If you can, try to get something from Bose. They offer pretty high quality products. Another alternate to the Astro's that pop up at events are Sennheisers.

But really, trust me. Save up the money and get the Astro's. They are amazing. They'll be the best part of your gaming equipment.

I'm pretty much definitely getting the headset now, which is perfect because my headphones that I use to listen to music or for private listening literally crapped out last night! I'm assuming the astro A40s work as headphones as well, correct?

Also, what TV is it that you use? My dad was talking about it today and seemed like he would possibly get it. I hate to sound like a pest but can you tell me what brand/model yours is, as well as if the model can work as a computer screen? I assume that it can't, but if it can that would work out absolutely perfectly.

Your help is mucho appreciated!

Also, what do you suggest doing to get better? I have been looking up strats on mlgpro.com and watching some of the videos and find them very helpful. What I find is that my aiming needs a lot of work. Last night I noticed while playing MLG that my aiming is very off with my BR at times. And if it's off, I suck. If I suck, I get mad, and I do poorly. I heard (I think from this thread) that someone asked a pro how to get better and he said "just play MLG". I do notice the change in skill even in the high forties in doubles vs. the 35 range in MLG that I play.

The conundrum i have is that my friends like to play MLG with me, and one of them I guess you could say is the weak leg. We actually beat a team that had a "semi pro" on it (according to my friend who i played with) 50-49 in slayer. I go to check out the stats and he went -13. It was a 3v3 and my other friend went positive and I did very well (not bragging). The point is, it seems like every match could go a lot better if we had a better teammate. He does fine on callouts but watching his individual service tag light up orange and seeing him grab the flag or push way too early has cost us MANY a game.

I tell him not to push but he gets angry. He does fine with callouts. The thing is, it's hard to tell a guy that's so firey to stay back and say "you keep dying" because he gets pissy sometimes and leaves, leaving me with his 2 cousins (who are actually good and seem capable of growing into better players). Both of those cousins know spawn times and have proven to be very useful, but are very quiet. They hardly callout.

So there's the problem. 2 of my teammates show great potential, but don't callout. They sometimes yell spawn times. The other teammate has terrible aim and loses nearly every 1v1 but calls out. What would you do here?

Sorry for the long post.

Sorry for the long post.

The Astro's do in fact act as 5.1 headphones. What's really cool, is that the MixAmp has an input on the back, so you can plug your mp3 player of choice in, and inject music into your game. For instance, if you plug your iPod into your 360, the 360 blocks music bought on the iTunes store. So, you wont be able to play those songs. But, if you plug it directly into your MixAmp, you're good to go. Also, there is an App. out for iPod Touch and iPhone's that is a weapon spawn timer, similar to the one at halo3timer.com, and if you plug your iPhone into your MixAmp, it will play the warnings for the weapon spawns directly into the headset!

As for your teammate, you can do one of two things. First thing is a team-wise constructive criticism. Go back through a saved film, from each person's first person perspective (this may require you to download their film), and go through the entire film in their shoes. The team should then point out things that went wrong, and what would have been an alternate way of going about the situation. Do this for each teammate.

The second thing is- drop him. If he is as stubborn as you describe, chances are, he's going to stay that way till he gets more mature. There are friends on your friends list that you play with competitively, and those whom you play with for fun. You may have to switch him to the latter group.

Yeah, I was the one who said that a pro told me "just play MLG". It really does work. If you can manage it, use MLG has your warmup playlist. Even though it shouldn't be used as so, when you dont have friends on, just go in to MLG to practice. Dont be afraid of your level dropping. Dont worry about your level in MLG.

For your callouts, you're going to have to step up and be a team leader. When my team needed help, I thought up a good practice. I would start up a game of Slayer (not team, just slayer), and make everyone go change their armor color to blue. I would change mine to red. Then, I would spawn, and my teammate's job was to call me out, and team shoot. I wouldn't shoot back, just kinda strafe, and hide behind objects. Make them move a little to get me. Since it's slayer, the spawns will allow you to spawn anywhere, so it's harder to spawn in the same place twice. Later in the practice, I'd start shooting at the other players to put some pressure on.

Yep. In close combat, a PR will beat an AR, as long as you go in for the melee.

To find out your screen's delay, go into the screen's settings, and look for an option called "Information". Other than that, if you were next to me, I'd slap you. No. No wireless internet allowed. a 200 foot ethernet cable will give you a better connection than a wireless one from 20 feet away. Also, I believe the Xbox 360 wireless adapter is capped off at 64mbps I believe. Your ethernet cord will at least give you 100. Wireless controller is not really too big a deal.
