Yeah. I wish things would just slow down for once. So that maybe just maybe i could get things sorted out. But what can you do life isnt fair and it sucks just about 98% of the time.

Yes, turtletimen that was a very harsh thing for SeraphvsIvdicii to say to someone.

Sorry about the multiple post thing. Heh.

Yup. And it was also true. It's unfortunate that you aren't up to date technologically, but you can't scold other people for not going out of their way to accommodate you and your atypical circumstances.

It's actually been somewhat of a tradition nowadays for roughly 1/4 of the achievements of games to only be unlockable through online access. It provides that exact dilemma that you're in for avid players.. wanting to get online to experience the fullness of the game. It's like a buisness trick with no real trick involved.

Besides, achievements are basically setpping stones in your game progress.. kinda. And when a game is popular for it's online play, you can only expect some of the stepping stones to revolve around it. Besides, there's more than just Recon that you need to unlock for every permutation. I'd say find a way around your financial block and switch to DSL right away. It doesn't cost much more than Dial up, and in some cases there's no price difference at all. You'll be happy and you'll probably find yourself using your computer more. And having fun on your 360.

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

Sadly enough, you're right. Life isn't fair. It's those that can persevere and better themselves in spite of it all that get the most out of life. You have to keep plugging along and things eventually will get better. You just have to push through.

i don't know why but there are areas where u can't get dsl and i live in one.hell they dont even offer fios out here.i can get cable internet but to put it in is expenseive and i have to pay other things so i cant get that yet.

  • 08.21.2009 12:03 AM PDT

I really hope things get better soon. I am going to try my hardest. And when the time comes i will be ready to bust through that brick wall. =)

It really sucks doesnt it Hooder? I know how you feel.

Wow, I figured with the way you get DSL, that it would be possible for anyone with a phone. Thanks for pointing that out. And cable internet is way over priced.

And Snake, keep that attitude. It took me far too long to learn to think like that.

Yeah. I hate how much cable internet costs. Its so stupid. LOL.

Oh i will keep this attitude for a very long time. =)

Hopefully sometime soon i will be able to have Xbox Live. But untill then i guess i will just have to deal with not having it. I mean i dont think Halo 3 is going anywhere. LOL. Or Live. Or the achievements.

Well, even when it runs through a phoneline there is still a signal that needs to be 'confirmed' with a nearly tower. In desolate areas there are no towers, and no DSL. It sucks.

Must be a hell of an isolated place. I would think they'd have towers placed in intervals to reach pretty much everybody. Especially since DSL has been around for a while now.

Thank you Snoozy. I love how there are such nice people willing to encourage others.

That's the first time I've ever been accused of being "rich" since that time my seven-year-old cousin saw that I had a few twenties in my wallet from working at a supermarket in high school. It's sad that you're behaving like this, deciding that you're going to stick your fingers in your ears and not listen, instead of accepting that the world of game design doesn't revolve around you. It's equally sad that you're taking a blunt statement of the realities of the situation as a personal attack and that you've seen fit to libel me be calling me a "rich" bully.

What is it you want? Pity? Saccharine cooing lamenting your situation and telling you're right to be indignant that game developers aren't catering to the lowest common financial denominator in every aspect of their game design? No. I don't and won't play that game.

That sucks man. I'm sorry to hear that. I have to say though, as soon as I could, I'd be far away from there (wherever it is) and close enough to civilization for decent internet. Just tough it out until you can get somewhere with good internet.

And SeraphvsIvdicii, chill man. It's all good. I have internet and would prefer if they didn't make so many online achievements. It does cut out a good portion of people from getting them and that can be frustrating. He was just frustrated. It happens.

who me. i live north of pittsburgh.but the funny thing is i bet maybe 2 to 3 miles down the road where there are more houses they can get dsl i just don't know why they cant bring on down to us.

  • 08.21.2009 12:24 AM PDT

Another one is right. You should try to get away from wherever you are and dont give up. =)

Maybe they will someday. Just dont give up. =)

Thank you again Another for talking to SeraphvsIvdicii and explaining the situation.

You know how you have blind spots when you drive? You probably have something to that effect with the DSL providers. I know where my Mom has her horses, that they have a similar blind spot with pizza delivery. lol. Everyone around them gets it, but not a few miles stretch that includes them.

I know pizza routes and signals to a DSL tower are different, but you get the analogy.

EDIT: And Snake, you just have to take it easy and explain calmly. It works wonders sometime.

No, I get it. I want a place out of the way when I get enough money for one. There are places, around here at least, where you get the space of the country and the amenities of the city life. Sounds like you live in a similar place. If you wanted to, I'm sure you could have the best of both worlds.

EDIT: (SP) means he isn't sure of the spelling. And hooder, just so you know, it's neighbors. =]
