I found an issue with the achievement "My Clothes!". It says that you have to overcharge and immediately kill 10 brutes in one mission (any mission or firefight).

This is not true. It works just as well for jackels. Use the overcharged plasma pistol on their shield and melee them and you get points toward the achievement.

Is this just a text error or a scripting error?

One shot, one kill.

Just lagged out of 6 srtaight firefight matches, each one ending sooner than the last.

I have no lag in matchmaking, what gives?

....wow, a person actually took my idea yesterday about making a thread where everyone can compain...cool....

  • 09.25.2009 3:37 PM PDT

A man has to believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer...

Alright, here's the deal...
I have two friends that have been trying to enjoy firefight, but can not.One lives in N.C. , the other lives less than a mile from me.(Just outside STL.) When playing FF, my friend that lives close to me experiences HORRIBLE lag and framerate issues, a hybrid of the two, making it unplayable.

After numerous modem power cycles, bypassing the router, and disconnecting cpu from router, still no change.

We have also tried all different host possiblities between us three including...

1) N.C. host- 3 player FF---lag
2) STL host (me)- 3 player FF--- lag
3) Friend with lag hosts- 3 player FF---lag
4) Asked friend in N.C. to leave, I host again- 2 plyr FF--lag
5) Friend with lag hosts- 2 player FF---lag!

Also, about a week ago, in preporation for ODST, we ran through Halo 3 co-op XBL Legendary and he complained of the same framerate/ lag issues forementioned. Every other game works online perfectly, so what gives?
We both have the same isp which is Charter, and have the same speed service, yet he gets the short end of the stick and has all the problems.

I really like ODST, but we have spent more time troublesooting than slaughtering countless covenant troops. Just trying to help friend enjoy FF like he should be able to.

Any constructive feedback, ideas, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Anyone at Bungie listening?

thanks

There was no way this was perfect!! In the Halo 3 ODST Prima Official Game Guide, on page 115 in the bottom right hand corner; guess what I found? A mistake! Where the text reads shade turrets, the picture is a Ghost. Next to it, the text reads Ghosts, and the picture is of a banshee! I cant believe such a mistake would be in an official game guide!

prima usually rushes thier guides. this is why i have stopped buying thier guides (i have not seen a single guide without some mistakes. don't even get me started on the N3 guide.) and also you can get the exact same info, if not better info, on the internet for free.

MY PREDICTION:
No matchmaking in firefight = no one playing odst 1 year from now.


Ive read all the posts with people yelling at each other and being told to get friends.

Well if thats true than why dont we get rid of matchmaking all together???

U think people would still be playing Halo3 online if there was no matchmaking?????

Yeah thought so.

Ive heard a rumor that there was a code issue. And that fixing it would have delayed the game. This I understand. But please Bungie....

U are soooooooooo good to your fans and we support you (except what up with halo anime???? very 80's).

Please release a patch update to allow matchmaking in firefight!

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check out the Postgame Carnage Report! The uncensored, NSFW Halo fan podcast!

Bungie should start lighting some seats on fire at Microsoft for not coming through with their Sgt Johnson code offer to EB Games customers, and making fans fax in their pre-order recipt to prove they paid for one. Freaking redonkulous.

Rawruga Flatuga.

I just did Coastal Highway with my friend and we didn't get the achievement. I don't know if this caused the problem, we lagged out one time and then restarted, but we dint have any checkpoints so we started at the beginning.

  • 09.25.2009 4:13 PM PDT

My cousin erased my game around the third mission so when i replayed a mission to continue my game it won't let me get to Tayari Plaza. I am stuck and cannot beat the game because I cannot get to that mission so I can continue. I REALLY don't want to have to play everything all over again, I REALLY hope I did not just waste the last 6 hours of my life. Is there a fix or a way back into that room?

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Seriously Bungie, fix your netcode. Both times my party got disconnected from a Firefight game and Coastal Highway due to the netcode in the game. None of our connections were acting up and we all eneded up in the same lobby after being disconnected.

Okay i have gotten to the 4th set and 3rd round 6times on Alpha site and everytime i get there right before the 5th set it says Lost connection but when we go to lobby everyone is hear. i think it is due to the flying brutes with the jetpacks and the drones because everytime they come it lags.

I think we need a patch to lower the ammount of flying covenent and more on ground guys maybe u could put some hunters instead of 100 flying things

The online gameplay is extremely laggy in both firefight and co-op. Maybe this is just because it came out and millions are online but if this is not the case, I hope bungie fixes this because It absolutely sucks ass.

Insulting your fans just because they don't like your most recent game? Classy.

I don't see how he's insulting anyone...


Most of you wouldn't.

He is being sarcastic. Mocking the fans who complain by himself blaming Bungie for something Bungie that Bungie had nothing to do with. Essentially generalizing those who have complained as people who just complain about every little thing.

Get it now?

Bungie has casually been insulting their fans via the forums for a long time now. They just do it through sarcastic comments.

Maybe you shouldn't be so sensitive?

Yeah, I have a complaint. This game is too damned addicting, and the soundtrack is too amazing.

Tone it down a little for Reach, mkay?

*falls to his knees* my baby is back! *nussles his magnum*

the promises were just that pormises that just so happened to break, up the pistol damage or down the sheilds its not that hard. I dont remember any halo game haveing to put out so much led to take armor down. and yes I know this is odst, and we arnt spartans.

but spartans use same ammo as odst, what happend to the pistol being pimped out for odst use and haveing powerful rounds?

why does it take two head shots on higher lvls? again same ammo, cheif dont throw the bullets now does he?

allow tank/banshee jacking when an odst takes one change ai to anti tank and anti personal aka fuel rods hunters or jumper brutes to jack it, or insta catch skull til its destroyed?

random skulls not random at all, same with enemies. Im not saying let there be a chance for hunter after hunter have it be a roll of dice instead of final round watch for hunter/ cheifs!

ai gets dumb at times, a hunter will fire at me from a distance but stops atking at point blank and just follows me no melee at all.

hunter neck hit detection is haveing problems I tested this on the hunter that didnt atk me, had to be point blank and look up. yet sniping at a distance right on the orange nothing.

jackel hit detection is a problem as well, the pistol carbine and or sniper rifles when shooting at the hand near the shield is about 40/60

sigh love this game just wish it be fixed soon

I don't get the point of complaining. Probably nothing will be changed anyway. Although I'll do it anyway cuz I really want this to happen:

Ability to FULLY customize my ODST.

Change helmet accessories, helmet paints (such as Dutch's helmet paint), shoulderpades, backpacks, chest armors (a less dented one would be nice [I like my armor looking good]).

Maybe change it up too and make them actually do things. Such as:
Helmet accessories: Romeo's Scope: increased binocular zoom. Micky's flashlight accessory: Lights up dark areas a bit better than VISR (It's a lowlight mode but it doesn't seem to help in some extremely dark areas).
Backpacks: Ammo, Mickey's Demolition pack: More rockets or explosives, Normal Pack: Carry extra SMG and/or Automag ammo.

Colors: Change camouflage patterns and colors on your armor.

So Bungie. Dooo it!
