Mess with the best, DIE like the rest!!!
My best Halo 3 game yet
My Youtube Channel

Posted by: Frankie
We have a minor flashback this week taking questions from the kidz. And the kidz are all right. This week we address matchmaking, cheating, dance carefully around the next project and lots, lots more. Nothing too heart-stopping.

too late my heart allready stoped after looking at that picture *dies*

nice update although the question about booting someone from the game in matchmaking is possible with a network connection hack. It is used by bridging (refering to mac bridgin network connections). This process is also used to force host in a game. By using a program (I'm not mentioning name or type to prevent future mass problems) you can get the ip addresses of the xbox servers and of anyone your in a game with. To boot they just block all ip address except xbox servers. They can also use this to standby with Windows ICS so it doesnt matter your connection anymore. It started out standbying, then dummying, now bridging, so whats next. Screw those -blam!-s who have to cheat to make them feel better about themselves. But back to the point nice update better than previous ones i recently seen

And people ask me why I de-ranked.


De-rankers are just as scummy as modders. You're ruining the experience for everyone else just so you can have an easier game. That's really lame.

Its amazing how many online friends you attract when your ambidextrous.

I wonder what they'll take out I hope itsHead to Head or the clan playlists.

The leveling sytem is terrible.. it meens nothing 27s 28s 29s 30s 31s 32s 33s 34s what do they meen? it dose nothing to define the persons skill when levels are so easily gained.. when you changed the leveling sytem yeah it was easier to gain levels and keep them but it takes all the excitment and thrill out of games who cares if they lose thier 30? or their 27? because its not that hard 2 get back thier but when you had your 16 or 18 or 20 when you had your "horns" you played to keep them because not every moron can get them., and there was so much less de-levelers because nobody wanted 2 loss thier lvs., i know this will do nothing to change it but i still write in hope that you will consider it., give us back the old leveling system.. do it 4 the team., - JadedJoel

You want to know what it'd be like to have no moderators on this site? Try this easy to prepare simulation.
Step 1: Procure yourself an intact box, something a fridge or similarly large appliance.
Step 2: Fill cardboard box halfway with feral cats. One or two should be rabid.
Step 3: Climb inside the box, closing the top behind you.
Step 4: Begin screaming and thrashing wildly at the cats.

Frankie said the playlists that are going to be taken out have really low population levels. If you go by Halo 2 by the numbers, excluding training and clan playlists, head to head and rumble pit were the lowest. I seriously doubt that the clan playlists would be removed, and I don't really know about the training playlists if another unranked playlist is going to be added. The bottom line is, people should stop worring about BTB because I'm pretty sure that is going to stay.

I love how my comment about halo 3 was deleted from the forums last month so it must be true that halo 3 is not being released 6 months after 360 and it is being released in 2007 with the halo movie that will be in theaters. If that is the case its cool but i would like to have seen a video game murder a game console in sales!!!!!!!!!

Cool, but why won't you just announce Marathon 4? it's obvious you're making it... There's nothing else it could be.


maybe you're wrong and it's something completely new!!?? they have done that before you know. ie.: HALO 1!!!!!! MARATHON 1!!!!! ...etc.

Wow prophet you are really annoying. You had like 8 posts where you jsut went and found something that somebody said that didnt make you giddy. Get a freakin' life we don't want to hear you whine and complain about every little thing that's not perfect in your world. If you wanna whine like a little Pre-teen girl then go to some chat room. You're kind of useless speach is completely unnesescary and unwanted

I have been hearing a lot about the nerfing of some of the playlist. The main one im worried about is Double Team. I have never been cheated in Double Teams except for one time. It was just a lame standbye. Head to head too. I enjoy both of those. BTB is pretty fun, just for goofing off. My overall view on this subject is that they should think less about the playlist and worry more about cheaters. That would make everyone more happy than taking away a playlist that people like to play and adding somethin dumb.
