I have wireless controller but I have the play and charge kit cables as well, would it count as a wired controller if I played with the cables?

Got Enzyte?

I just have one question, do HDMI cables reduce screen delay, or do just VGA cables do that?

1 more question, do VGA cables only work for LCD TV's, or do they also work with HDTV's?

i have a question for you. im only a gunnery seargent grade 3. but the reason is i just cant get that skill of 10! the highest skill ive gotten is a 9 in team slayer but now thats down to 8. ive been told by everyone "go to lone wolves". well i tried and im already a 4 after 3 or 4 games but i just need some help on how to get the most kills out of every game. i also need some tips on sniping. im using a 46 inch lcd tv. but i dont know the delay. im also using a wireless internet connection with wireless controllers. i dont want to be an all out pro but i want to be good at halo 3, cuz im tired of being called noob. so if you could please message me and help, i would be forever in your gratitiude.

thanks,
~muscle car luvr~


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.

if i dont want to be a pro though, do you think it still does well? i mean for the guy who just wants to be good at halo 3 but doesnt want to go pro. do you think my connection would be okay? although i do lag sometimes. well at least other people do. =~/ and can u give me a couple of tips on sniping?

nope. Sadly, all the cord does is provide power to the controller. It still connects wirelessly :(

1 more question, do VGA cables only work for LCD TV's, or do they also work with HDTV's?

Simple answer, nope. Long answer, all HDMI is doing is overdoing what doesn't need to be done. HDMI will upscale your game to 1080p, but you don't want that. Halo is 720p, no matter what Bella and whistles you put on it. Other than that, VGA will offer many different kinds of resolutions. You should be aiming for 1650x1080. The only advantage to HDMI is that you can have audio run through the same cable, but since u should be using a headset that's no big deal.

I have pretty much lost all hope in getting to a colonel. i have tried multiple tips and its very frustrating to see myself go +13 in a game and my friend goes -6 and he levels up. and he is a higher skill in that playlist. maybe we could play together since reading how to play is not the same is playing the way to play(if that makes sense)

Hehe dude im only a 46 =[so hard to get past 46 in anything lol so hard :S im 45 in LW 46 in doubles and a 45 in TS. anyways just was wondering how u can give tips to get to lvl 50 if your only a 45 grade 2?



He does have some useful information here...
But to tell people to play doubles and say its the easiest?
Ick. (No offence guy)

The easiest way to get a 50 WAS in Team Objective... ( naughty naughty Bungie)
If you had 4 people with mics and basic comprehension of how to set-up on any given map... thats a win... was a win. No more Obj. w/e.

As for doubles... That playlist has more boosters and new accounters than MLG does at this point. As soon as you get around 45, you're gonna find people that make new 50s in Dubs all the time because they have nothing better to do with their time.

Want a 50? Id suggest Swat. Quick and to the point. But dont go in alone... bring your friends.
Anyone who goes into MM alone and complains "Oh, well my teammates cost me the game"... yea? That happens 20 times an hour on Halo... take that excuse and cram it.

Doctor Per

Shadowstrike, thank you so much for your good response on both the headset and my team issues! It's very, very appreciated. My astros came in today and i'm just dumbfounded by how good the quality is with the TOScable. I can hear a pin drop, and I actually managed to dodge some nades today. My one main thing that I've never been able to trump is nades. I always seem to get that nade right underneath me, but one of my teammates said that I tend to run into them. Today when I was playing around it was so easy to tell where they were and get out of there. Only truly good nades got my shields down and/or killed me today :P

Anyways, thank you so much for the help and don't be surprised if I come back sometime and ask some more questions!

I still win!

Great tips man I got to a 45 in 38 games it took me 4 hours!

Hey Shadow.
I've got a question about setting up an area to play.

I always used to use a tube TV and I never had to worry about any of this before, so I'm completely inexperienced with this.

I've got an Acer X223WBD 22" LCD computer monitor. I'll be purchasing the VGA cables for the 360 right after I get my 360 back from Microsoft, and I plan on hooking the 360 up to the Acer Monitor.

Normally this wouldn't be a problem. Pretty simply plugging things in the right place, but this time it's a bit different.

I've no idea how the audio is going to go down. The Acer Monitor, unlock LCD TVs, don't have built in speakers, and therefore, don't have a place for the Red and White audio cables. So, I have absolutely no idea how I'm supposed to get sound.

Mind explaining?
I've also got the Edifier M3300 speaker system for my computer, which is also uses the same monitor.

So yeah. If you can help, that'd be tremendous.

Oh and, how would I go about setting about the Turtle Beach Ear Force X1's with the Acer monitor and Edifier sound system?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you've got a good setup going. Be sure to put on 1680x1050 resolution settings as soon as you get everything set up. You may notice little black lines above and below the picture. Dont worry. They're meant to be there.

I'm inexperienced with the Edifier, so I dont know what it's like as far as inputs. So I dont know how much help I can be on that.

Basically, your VGA cable is going to also have your Red and White stereo audio cables. It also has an output for Optical cords.

I'm not sure what the Edifier can handle, so I'll leave the exploring up to you.

As for the Turtle Beach Ear Force X1, setup is pretty easy. First, there is a USB cord that plugs from the headset into the Xbox 360 system to provide the headset with power. Then, there is a cord you will plug into the green audio jack from the headset, that will allow for you to plug the Red and White audio cords directly into the headset's audio. From there, you can control sound from this little contraption on the cord.

For a more detailed setup, look here- Turtle Beach X1

Dont worry. You've got everything you need. Once you have everything in front of you, you'll see how everything fits in place.

Nothing you can do to really fix it. You can simply try to fix everything around it.

For instance, use VGA cables to speed up your refresh rate.

Same thing with internet connection. If you cant increase your upload/download/packets from your ISP, then do everything you can do around it, such as using CAT6 cables, port forwarding your xbox, etc.

Point is, the higher definition you go, the longer it's going to take the the TV to "paint the picture". That could be something else to look at.

As for the whole X thing, I wont even pay attention to teammates when they say "on my x". Then, when they complain that no one looked over there, I tell them they're stupid, and I'll explain why their X could be anywhere, and I'm not going to go in harms way just to try and locate their X within the 4 seconds that it's showing.

Callouts should make you let your teammates know where the enemy is without them having to look around or go out of their way.

If you've read the Halo books, did the Spartans look around where Master Chief said there were enemies? Nope. They simply winked their acknowledgment lights. Same as with your teammates. You should be able to state a location, and they should be able to acknowledge it without taking their mind off of their previous goal.

These are all good tips. If I didn't have a 50, I may just use this guide. I find Team Slayer was best for getting my 50.
