You're obviously irritated, yet you say it doesn't get to you.

Pot calling the kettle black right hurr. Should Syx explain what swipe-sniping is again?
Already mentioned it!

Actually, he isn't ignorant at all. Everything he has said has solid proof behind it. Nothing you said has any sort of true evidence backing it. In fact, it was ignorance that made you state that sweep sniping was a lot more effective on PC shooters.

Also, being annoyed on the Internet is also known as being butthurt

It's not a true technique in Q3A for advanced sniping. It's much easier to just aim due to having precise equipment instead of relying on things like aim assist.


What the hell do you call it then when you sweep across the screen and rail someone? Sweep Sniping!, so it does exist on PC, no?

It's not a true technique? That's the way I do it, and it's easily my best weapon.

Everything he has said has solid proof behind it.

LOL! He said Halo 2 takes zero skill, yet you said it does take a lot of skill, just that AA brought its potential down. Where is the truth in his statement? Sounds more like an opinion than anything...

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

Educate yourself. You're making yourself look like a complete idiot right now.

Your "ur bad at teh game, dats y u haet it" logic also fails completely when you take into account that I get stomped frequently at CS:S and TF2 yet those still remain two of my all-time favorite games.

It's not about being bad. I won't attest to being amazing at FPS; I'm simply above average on my best day. It's about being objective. Only one of us can claim to have that quality.

Maybe I should post For Lack of a Better Shot again. It seems to have slipped off the first few pages of this board.

I said that he has evidence to back up his claims. It is his opinion that Halo 2 has 0 skill, but he does have an educated opinion on the matter.

What I meant by it not being a true technique is that none of the professional/skilled players of Q3A use "sweep sniping" while using the Railgun. There is absolutely no use in it seeing as though you can be absolutely precise with mouse. The reason sweep sniping exists at all is due to the fact you can't rely on the controller for precise aiming and instead have to rely on reaction time which doesn't take much due to AA. None of that is a problem in Q3A so it's impractical. I think you might be confusing it with twitching which is where you move your cursor as fast as you possibly can and precisely hit an enemy, not sweeping over them and timing the shot right.

Is there a site or something that provides server status or info about master server? I'd like to know what's going on with it and if GFWL is even aware and planning to fix. It's very frustrating to buy a game and not be able to use it :/

Subject: H2V Master Servers Down!!!

Games I like:,
Half-Minute Hero
MBU
Portal
Halo 3 is the best Halo ever
Maps I like: Turf, Avalanche, Pylon, Sandbox, Breakpoint and many more.

Wait.... They're killing H2V Online?!

  • 01.02.2012 1:26 AM PDT

No. The master server is down (the one that provides game lists in browser), but it's been down for like 5 days now.

Well the Halo: Combat Evolved PC is still alive, but I'm not sure how long the H2V community will be. Due to the percentage of people that play it that won't even think to check what is going on with the master server, there will probably be a massive drop in players when it does arrive back online. As we all know here, a massive drop in H2V players would mean the game will ultimately die.

With only about 60 players at the most opportune times, it might fall to only half. If it were to fall to about half then it would be absolutely impossible to find a good game seeing as though the only games you really can find right now are absolutely terrible as was mentioned by Miz KillZone earlier. The dedicated communities (Ex. SMG) would probably lose interest after a short time with their servers having little to no traffic on them anymore and everything would effectively disband right in time for Microsoft to shut down the game in late 2012 when their support is set to officially end.

After all of that, most of the H2V community would probably just move onto either XBox Connect or Xlink Kai. At least it's good news for their communities which are much more alive than H2V is.

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Looks like you guys can throw that "only down for 72 hours" theory out the window.

  • 01.02.2012 4:03 PM PDT

I MISSSSS YOU BUNGIE!!!!!!!!!

YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST COMPANY IN THE WORLD!!! YOU ACTUALLY SUPPORT YOUR GAMES AND DO THE UP MOST BEST HARDEST FREAKING TIME MAKING SURE EVERYONE IS HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!


Microsoft....on the other...hand.... can give a crap about anything other than their wallets and the $$$$$$$$$ signs in their eyes... They don't care about halo 2 vista, never have and never will. granted Bungie did not release halo 2 vista, i wish you guys did.......... M$ did a horrible job... Plus not to mention
PC GAMING IS DEAD TO MICROSOFT!!!!
PC GAMING IS DEAD TO MICROSOFT!!!!
PC GAMING IS DEAD TO MICROSOFT!!!!
PC GAMING IS DEAD TO MICROSOFT!!!!
PC GAMING IS DEAD TO MICROSOFT!!!!


PS people, don't try calling the GFWL support really, because you will be HUNG UP ON!!!!! or you can keep trying to get GFWL to actually do their job, and help support their customers and those whom actually help them keep their jobs? and what not, with buying GFWL content etc and GFWL games...

Yeah, source is never going to be released and should never be released, so don't get your hopes up.

Looks like my prediction on headerhunter's vid was right, H2V tunngle is a definite medium xD

In other news, go bug kant about his "alternate master server program" that switches the server it connects to. I doubt he can do it, but he was braggin on the xbl forums.

Why shouldn't the source be released? Amazing things can be made with games once their source is released.

Sigh... Bought h2v with grand dreams of recapturing the days of halo 2 multiplayer, only to be sorely let down by a company that doesn't care about their customers. Thanks Microsoft for another letdown...

You would have been disappointed anyway. Hilariously low population is hilarious.

Looks like Microsoft deleted the post. Maybe if they spent the time it took to monitor the forums/delete posts saying bad stuff about how they're doing they'd actually do better... That's another way of making your company look better.

@An0Angry0Banana actually they are taking down the servers for halo 2 vista in 2012, it really sucks considering the "Halo: Combat Evolved" servers will be up longer than the sequel. its really just sad.
