GAMETAG : ROMANZAM (Retired) / Ready for H3.
Its amazing how many online friends you attract when your ambidextrous.

Max Iodine asks,

Why do people have to be sore WINNERS?


Yep. Often I will lose, go back into the lobby and have someone berate me for losing. "You suck man, I owned you!!!"

Now this sort of confuses me, because normally a victory would make someone happy. But no. We live in a world where folks are sore winners AND losers. I blame parents and teachers for telling kids that they're ALL special. They're NOT all special. Newsflash, some of you are mediocre, and some of you are actually really crappy kids with bad manners and not much in the way of brains. When your mom tells you that you can be anything you want to be? She's totally lying dude. You're going to be working the graveyard shift and living in a loveless marriage in a bad part of town before you know it. Up to your eyes in debt, the closest thing you'll have to a friend will be the repo guy who just came to repossess that lemon of a Buick you bought. What were you thinking? And all because you couldn't keep your mouth shut after you won a game of Halo 2.

The answer to this question is yes there will definately be batterys but the battery will probably be lithium meaning just plug it into the wall instead of having to handle battereys

ok people; banshe on ascension. it is not that dificult to combat. either (as was posted earlier) stick it with a plasma grenade. or hide in the tower until the pilot comes in closer and jack it. or if you are really trying to be fair (which i am sure your not you just want to win and im sure you would not complain if you could get to the banshee first) but if you are actually being fair either get to the banshee first and push it over the edge (and everytime it respwans) or throw some grenades at it to blow it up/push it off the edge. OOORRRR play some custom games you can set those up however you want and the rest of us dont have to listen to you idiots cry because you are not getting your way. and i know some of you are going to say (insert whiney voice here) "but, i dont have enough people on my friends list to play custom games" wow if your life is so pathetic that you cant find 8 people that will play video games with you you just kill yourself now and end your miserable exsitance.

Subject: Weekly What's Update - Lag

Feed your Thumbs

Hey Bungie, what's up with all this lag. I thought that it was supposed to get better once the software had settled down but from where i'm sitting it is getting worse. Much worse. Almost every other game seems to have really bad lag, the worst of it is that it always seems to be just one team getting the bad connection. Maybe you guys can find a way of evening up the field when lag appears. Maybe you could slow everyone elses connections down.
Also what's the deal with matchmaking. I seem to spend three quarters of my time online waiting for a matchmade game. It seems to have taken a liking to matching uneven teams on big team battle. Why can't you guys force even teams. I know someone there will probably say that it doesn't matter if the team with less people has higher ranks because it does. I've lost count of the number of times that i've played land grab on containment with less people and the first thing that happens is several of our people get miffed at having a smaller team and they quit, sending feedback on them doesn't do jack because i can see their point of view. The word matchmaking suggests finding an even match not an odd one. Having an uneven team makes a victory completely impossible.
One more thing to whine about, please tell me why anyone would bother matching asian players with anyone else but other asain players. The one thing that i can guarantee when I'm matched against an asain player is that i will be completely ass-raped every time. It doesn't matter it we both have the same ranking. We could both walk up to each other with the same weapon, start shooting at the same time and i bet i know which of us walks away with the kill. Leave the Asians to play with themselves because I'm sick of being the one who ends up looking like a wanker everytime i play against them. Well that's the end of my moaning session, please don't tell me i should call a Waambulance because these are genuine issues with halo online!

Dear Bungie,
I was playing some head to head on saterday and i played this guy called The 12 step. The match started off normal and i go the sniper. I go back down and there he is i throw a gernade and it kinda gets him. he shoots me once or twice and tries to malee me i shoot him once more and then he throws a gernade. I go to punch him and he jumps over me. He then lands on his on gernade and blows him self up. he respawns and says " Ill give you 5 minutes to quit out. you f&*^ing standbyer" My mic had busted to other day and I didn't want to use my head to press it agest my sholder just to tell him he fell on his gernade and that I wasn't standbying. I got 2 more rather lucky kills and then as he continued to tell me his was getting me band he just let me kill him. He told me Bungie would bann me in a week and that I would have to buy a new xbox to be able to play online.I didn't quit cause I just thought he was trying to make me so he would win. I then could here him talking to some one and spelling my name to him/her telling them that I cheated and to bann me. Bungie I am ganna feal real stupid if this guy was talking trash and Im writting this for nothing but I really like Xbox live. If this guy is true he sounds to be a person who doesn't like to lose and has way to much power or has a friend who abuses the system. He sayed that he banns many people a week and Im next. I need you guys to tell me my acount is fine.

Dear Bungie, I was just playing matchmaking against this kid who was really being a sore loser it was head to head and i got a sniper and shot him in the head right between the eyes get this, the bullet came right back to me in the face and he won and he didnt even have a sniper so i dont know if this is some kind of standby or new hack that these people have or even action replay or a modded xbox all i know is i dont want it ruining others head to head games just like mine and he said if he ever see's me playing head to head again he would tell you guys i was standbying see here's the thing i dont know how to standby so if u could check my gamertag and see if it is on a band thing and band his for cheating that all.

P.S. The New Maps RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and excpessially sanctuary.

For everyone here that keeps asking what the game that was delayed was:

It's the Halo 2 Map Pack. It was supposed to be released on June 28th but got pushed to June 5th. Which, of course, blows for those of us who are too cheap to download the maps from Live. What are you gonna do though, right?

Oh, and if anyone has checked out XBox 360 online, they're going to have video chat and tons of features where you can plug your Mp3 player right into the system and listen to your songs on the box. I also think that you're going to be able to let other players listen to your songs and watch videos on your computer. Tons of stuff.

If you don't get the weekly newsletter from XBox or aren't subscribed to OXM, you should look into it. The information you get is awesome.

Whats the deal with the ranking system? Since the update, I have been playing mostly custom games and I am only a level 2. When I go into team/rumble training, I am constantly playing other players that are in the mid to high 20's. I am able to win a fair share but my guests and I usually get destroyed. Someone please explain why the ranking system is so flawed during training games.
