Brokeback - Is it possible to break people's back's as a new kind of move?

ie In the style of people shouting 'stuck!'

...or the chief's -blam!- and fallen in love with Mr.Chief!?

EDIT: What, you can't say -blam!-!?

I grew up.

OMG... how is it that ANYONE can -blam!- about BXR? The community is starting to crap out. Guys its an important figure for professionalist, and though its a glitch, every damn one of you do it. And don't come saying you don't, because you do. There are far worse button combos that rip you into shreds faster than a BXR. I swear every one of you who claims its a glitch and "omgzorz they should ban BXR users" can take that very controller and shove it.

BXR - Melee, Cancel, BR Shot... close range instant kill. Works only with full ammo clip

RXB - Faster than a BXR, smae effect as the BXR. Does not require a full clip of ammo

RRX - Double shot. Shoot two normal shots, then perform a double shot. Faster than a regular 4 shot, however reload lag plays in if you miss the double shot

BXB - Double melee, just melee, wait for the connection sound, press X, melee again, can be repeated infinite amount of times

BXRXB - From a BXR, to a canceled shot, to another instant melee. Useful if the BXR misses

RRXYYRRX - Quadruple shot. The time it takes to do a quadruple shot is the same as two regular trigger pulls. I.E. for the retards, doing a 4 shot in half the time. Only works when you have 2 weapons

There you go punks. A short list of just a few of the known button combos for instant/faster kills. There are plenty more, MLG themselves gave an article with the full list a few months back. Get a grip on yourselves, its in the game, and just because you dont use it, you think its cheap and us others should be banned? So should everyone just be banned because they have done one of the above just one time?

Jeez that stuff seriously pisses me off...

seems like some of the best movies are the movies that get initially rejected by studios with little faith... and boy do those studios whine when it becomes the greatest film of all time.

hope things are looking good on that front.

lets see something new halo 3, i think the trailer is permanently embedded in the back of my brain forever.

Frank O'Connor is a 12-year veteran of the videogame magazine industry and has therefore never worked an honest day in his life.

brokeback is either name of map in pre alpha or you got melee'd in the back or t bagged.

After viewing the works of slated Halo movie director, Neill Blomkamp, I did about pee my pants. His stuff is incredible! If the Halo movie does make me involunatrily cross the bladder control threshold, then it's a success.


P.S. I would be more intersted, perhaps, if the moive emulated the feel of Halo's gameplay and its exhileration, than its pretensions of being a sci-fi epic. No sci-fi opera!

That was a sweet update, the only thing I regret is that I had to wait this long to read it...

Great news with the banhammer, and thanks for trying to keep H2 free of cheaters while your working on H3.

I would venture to guess there is now a prone position instead of just crouch walking. Brokeback being kind of like teabagging??

I've got to say, I had not even heard of the BXR bug until reading this. I for one don't know if I have ever accidently done it, it looks easy for someone mashing buttons to do without knowing, and quite honestly from trying it a few times in a local game with someone, doesn't seem to make that much of a difference in my games (which tend to be sniper, swat, etc).

I for one think, instead of punishing people for using it, do a 1.2 update that stops the functionality all together. Seriously, there are from a video i watched tonight all sorts of bugs...like the ability to throw two grenades after supercharging the plasma pistol, the ability to suicide without a negative pentalty, etc. But people are playing the game the way it works; if you don't like that, I'd say FIX THE GAME, don't snoop around on packet data and assume someone is cheating. Because in my opinion, if its in the game, its not cheating.

What I consider cheating is modifying the contents of the game files, or sending packets that cause autoaim or other events to happen. Playing the game as-is isn't cheating, its being using the game to your advantage, something everyone is on equal ground to do.

so once again, FIX THE GAME, don't ban people who may accidently do something you consider cheating without knowing it.

I can't tell you how many times I've sat there in a game and wondered why something did what it did. Its quite possible I've pressed a button combination that triggers a glitch from time to time; some that have done things positive for me, others that haven't. Whats next, banning a good shot because you think they could be cheating?

Looking at the glitch, it seems pretty simple: Don't reset the state of the weapons when a malee is cancelled if the opponent was hit. Just like with the plasma pistol grenade bug. Don't reset the state of the grenade toss when the pistol finishes overloading. Its very obvious to a programmer how that glitch got in there, just fix it, no need to ban, no need to supervise, and most people will be happy unless they rely on those "features".

I was searching the internet a while back when i came across www.halo3xbox.com!! good sight but hasnt been updated in along time.
If you go to halo 3 rumors and near the bottom click on leaked halo 3 story and disc info it will open up to a page where you can pick what script you want to choose. I was just wondering who could of posted a script that sounds like it could actually be the real script. Check it out for your self but remember its a HALO 3 SPOILER if it is real.

I think that “Brokeback.”is when another player lands ontop of you. Why else in the last hump-day that was in H3 there people "trying to jump down on top of people apply." .

Oh... my... god. That's creepy as h3ll, I don't dare to read the script in case it's the real one (although it might have changed a little).

  • 10.22.2006 10:00 AM PDT

Jesse: Aint Got time to bleed

Meier: Got Time To Duck


From the Movie -- Predator

im thinking brockeback is maybe one of the three new maps they were using but i wouldn't bet on it being a mountain type lvl although it could be some new move but if it was im sure they could think up a better term than "BrokeBack"

That was pretty sweet. Did you say, MORE INFO? Yayuh!!! The picture of them playing Halo 3 was interesting. Though screens looked like they were from Lockout, just my opinion. Congratulations to the video winner people thingys. Maybe if they hold another one of those contests me and my friends will enter. If I could only get them a little more motivated to make Halo Machinima...

  • 10.22.2006 12:21 PM PDT

Halo's a hell of a drug.

I think its cool that Bungie lets visitors put their feet up on the furniture.

Wish I could change my Forum ID :|

The first screen on the pic of H3 MP looks like the area by the plasma rifle and magnum. the second looks like the inside of the blue beam tower
