You misunderstood genius. I am a 25 still because I have not played ranked games since becoming a 25. I was guessing at where I would be had I continued, due to the level of others that I have played and beaten lately (unranked). After a match and before(360) you see other players' level, and this is what I was basing it on. Frankly, I don't care what level I am, since it really does not correctly label an individual's skill.

Yes I totally agree, it's just way too easy in HPC to get a running riot in less than a minute on Blood Gulch by camping their spawn points with hogs, a fuel rod cannon, a rocket launcher, shotgun, banshee, and/or tank.

In H2, there is spawn killing, but at least it's not as bad as in HPC. Hopefully they'll do something to fix this in H2 PC.

well lucky it went to 200 so it loaded fast

anywhoo. yeah it needs to be fixed. that was just rediculously bad. And with the no health on halo 2, that guy can survive every shot if it's not a headshot, he will still be strong, but it'd be different if he had to get health packs, then it would be less of just camping over the spawn points

Yes, people, there is a health system, it's simply just invisible and regenerates to adapt to Halo 2's fast paced multiplayer.

I would like to be able to see it, though. It's comforting to see that I'm in the blue.

well I learn something new every day then lol. It just didnt' seem like it because that guy who was sniping got shot a few times, his health would regenerate. usually after 2-3 shots in the chest or in the limbs, he'd go down, well it looked like he got shot twice and he didn't die.

LOL, I think so. On topic, what if it was PLANNED for a movie?

lol

Thats so annoying a mod and the guy has set himself up.

- He just stands there one time when the other dude misses him, so he can get hit!
- The guy can see where his opponent is, so in he end he would turn and walk down the other alley. I would after like 2 kills.
- Why doesnt he, throughout a whole minute, shoot, atleast once? He could atleast throw a nade, or ANYTHING.

to show that the spawns need to be fixed because its not helping you any if you spawn right where you died.


Thats true but STILL! theres at least 3 other routes out of where that guy kept respawning. he could have taken any one of those and snuck around behind or to the side of the sniper. and like cookies said, he didn't even shoot once. he had his sniper on the other guys leg at one point, but he just stood there!. 2-3 shots and the sniper would have been down.

That's not true. There's a little trap door at the back of the room he kept spawning in which drops to the lower levels of Lockout. Sure there is the occasional major BS spawn in H2, but I don't think it's a big of a deal as it is on HPC.

Now that I see this video, it seems quite ridiculous.

No way, this was not in 1 continuous run. You can easily edit this.

You just wait until the dude respawns in that place, then he records and the guy shoots him, but, you also record every other time you die, so you edit the scores back in.

Basically it goes:

* Spawn at spawn point a. Get shot. Look at scores.
/ Spawn at spawn point b, get the dude to kill you again. * Look at scores
/ Spawn at spawn point c, get the dude to kill you again. * Look at scores
* Spawn at spawn point a. Get shot. Look at scores
/ Spawn at spawn point b, get the dude to kill you again. * Look at scores.
* Spawn at spawn point a. Get shot. Look at the scores.

* = Recording.
/ = Not recording.

Then you just edit it in. Its really easy by the way to do this. If that helps you to understand^^

All right, so what is your point?

Are you saying that Bungie better do something about the spawn points, or that Bungie better do something about cheaters exploiting spawn points?

  • 06.13.2006 12:39 PM PDT

lol

Lol not too bad.. you can set - with mod I think - for bodies to stay there, and how long does it take for someone to head shot you anyway?

The gap inbetween spawning at point a, then getting killed, then b then getting killed, then back to a is all the same.

I still think its editied/atleast modded. Who would just record a match when theyre getting owned..

Hey, don't worry about it. Bungie will probably do away with this problem come H2PC. Most people never experience this happening on Xbox Live, and besides, this is a custom game. Modding on custom games isn't as serious as on matchmaking (but it's still bad to do it anyways).
