The T2 Tips do help. IDK about the other stuff. Always have a BR. Yes. What might also help is lessons from a good MLG gamer. Mentality wise and Weapon wise. =)

Glad to hear you liked it :)


So I was happy to meet a lot of people who have read this thread in the Bungie VS The World playlist yesterday. Got a good amount of feedback, both positive and umm..... not positive...

If you got to play with me: good game.

If you didn't: that sucks.

But looming on the horizon is the My Tips To Reach 50 Community Play Weekend. More info on that later.

I wanted you in to play Shadow but then I realized that I have better things to do than sending you invites that you won't be able to see, lol. Unless you've turned notification on again.

Community Play Weekend sounds like something I want to be in!

lol ya, I eventually looked at my messages, and not only did I have like 200 messages from people asking if I was bungie, simply because I passed around this screenshot, but like 10 messages from MATCLAN asking if we could play together. By the time I responded, he was offline, and once again, i felt like a jerk.

Yeah, the Community Play Weekend is in the works. I'm tryint to talk with Tyrant and see if he wants to do a "Mythic/Tips To 50 Community Play Weekend" thing so that we get fans of both Campaign and Multiplayer in there.

From there, I'm going to extend special invites to the Forum Ninja's and such as a thanks to keeping the threads safe and making them what they are today.

Yeah it is actually underused and underappreciated. In Halo 3: ODST I hope it isn't too overpowered though. They did make it even better apparently. Yeah It is alright on Avalanche I used it from the base and a hornet was at the rocket spawn and I used it in short bursts and took out the pilot. And the dude does understand the value of AR's but like he said the are not always the best. They also are good in short bursts, a few imes in lone wolves I have used it in short bursts and finished off a guy. This is a great forum thankyou.

This helped me to understand the TrueSkill rating. Never really understood why I'd get "stuck" at a certain level before. Thanks for this.

sadly, I am unable to do so. I ge about 30 messages a day from people asking me to help them out, and so it falls back to the whole "if you help one person, you have to help them all" thing, which I just can't do. My video series and this thread are more help than I am.

Soon I will be hosting a comunity play weekend where people can come and play and ask whatever questions u need.

I use-

Bumper Jumper
4 Sensitivity
No vibration (can be disabled in "preferences" in the guide button)

  • 07.11.2009 11:33 AM PDT

Would it relly help with no vibration? : / I need vibration to feel like I'm in the game. When my vibration disappears because of my batteries I freak out.

And how'd you get Recon you bastard? :P (This is gazas at a friend's, I don't wanna risk getting banned like last time because of him, lol)

I prefer the vibration too, it's a quicker way to know you're under fire than to check your shield or the arrows on your screen. Each to his own though, and ya kept the Recon quiet Shadow, congrats.

well, when your being shot, your screen is outlined in red, and your screen flashes yellow. That's all you should need to know. With vibration on, your controller is going to shake in your hands when you shoot and when your being shot. Al that shaking seesms to hurt your aim more than it helps. I actually opened up my controller and removed the vibration motors. I did t need them, and it makes the controller lighter. In the end, everything is to help out my BR and Sniper.

As for my Recon, it's classified. ;)

Like I said, each to his own. Without vibration I can't seem to "feel" the game. Or maybe it's just what I'm used to, like how I can't seem to get into Bumper Jumper. Also take into account that most of the time I'm playing splitscreen with my brother so vibration allows more "individuality" between the two screens if you will.
Oh and I'm not arguing a point here, just making an observation. :-P

oh, definitely use it splitscreen. I'm definitely with you there. Ya, it's really all about preference in the end. As for bumper jumper, I just ran through a couple campaign levels and then I had it down. I didn't even consider taking off vibration till I played with Soldier from Team Classic, and he told me to do it. I then just forgot to switch back and got used to it. But true, it all falls to preference.

I tihnk the problem with me and Bumper Jumper is that I've always had the arbitrary "A" button equal the jump motion in most games I've played, not to mention that I'm going back to play more and more Halo CE and Halo 2 these days where it's just not an option. I could probably make the change but then I'd have to change back and forth every time I wanted to play a different game.
