Yeah, my level 80 rogue can dominate your level 5, woooot.

And what's this bxr that I hear about? I shall have to look into this.

Anyway, my rant is that Halo is overrated.

the bungie site is so backed up it has yet to even register the fact that ive played halo 3.

Ha, Bxr works in Halo 2 Vista as well. This makes life a little bit easier.

Good thing it's not in Halo 3 though.

My rant...why do people say "no offense?" That makes their point null and they're saying nothing.

"Your friend's stupid, not to call him stupid, but he is!" Or something like that. It's pointless. Just either make your statement and mean it or don't try to get out of it.

Not only do the marines in halo 3 drive poorly when your on turret, but when your not with them, they run you over numerous times...And then shoot rockets at me...
Gee thanks guys, way to pay me back for killing that scarab by shooting me with a rocket after I kill the hunters >=(

Maybe they get dumber the higher difficulty you are so you can own more...

Another rant, I'm seeing guys from halomods play campaign on normal by themselves...Man up

It takes time to build up to where you can do it efficiently enough to actually use it. It's a skill that you have to work at to improve. Everyone can do it, it's just those who choose to and those who don't. I don't see someone who has taken the time to perfect a skill being classified as unfair because they can use it better than someone else.

As for the BXR, it's really not as easy as it seems. Yes, anyone can bxr someone standing still, (I hope). But to actually use it in combat, it's not that easy. It takes practice. And if it was so easy, why doesn't everyone use it?

I disagree. Anyways, it's clear we are making no progress here. You think it's a legitimate skill to exploit a glitch and use it to gain an unfair advantage over people who do not choose to exploit glitches and play the game as it was intended. I don't care if it's a skill, it's still the exploitation of a glitch in the game which allows you to gain an unfair advantage over people who don't know about it, because it's not meant to be like that, and therefore isn't out there in the manual and such. Your argument that "anyone can do it" hardly changes anything. It does not help your point at all, in any way. Does it take skill? Yes. Does it take the same kind of skill that the game should take, the skill of actually playing in a legitimate fashion? No. Does it taking skill make up for the fact that you still have the ability to do something someone else can't do? No. That's like saying modding is alright because anyone can do it if they wanted to and tried hard enough. One thing that really pisses me off about this is the way people treat these exploits as a measure of skill in the game. I've repeatedly seen people ask others if they can do such things, as a way of assessing their abilities. Really, they don't care about how good the player is, they just care about doing whatever it takes to win a game. Skill doesn't matter to those who consider themselves the best, they think winning is a measure of skill, rather than how well you can truly play the game.

Ketchup I feel for you there. I'll drive down whenever I get my car and see if we can play a round or 2.

I'm serious about that if your mormon leaders will allow me. I've also been considering talking to you about Mission Work.

I hate that the arbiter goes to melee stuff when Im using the flamethrower.

Kirk · Post by **Kirk** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 3:07 pm

The arbiter is just a faggot period (not him, just his skill at playing the game)

Do you get penalized for killing him? If not, then you need not worry.

JK-47 · Post by **JK-47** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 3:23 pm

I don't have Halo 3 or a 360.. My friend was at my house for the last 3 days and all we did was play it... He went home today and I want to play it soo bad right now

Nope, if that was the case then when my friend was playing as MC would be in shit now. I betray him so much it doesn't get old. :p

GametagAeonFlux · Post by **GametagAeonFlux** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 7:34 pm

In the meta game, you do get penalized for betrayals...

StalkingGrunt911 · Post by **StalkingGrunt911** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 7:37 pm

Really? I could have sworn I got penalized for going on a killing spree with the Marines, I didn't think killing each other would do something. D'oh!

Kirk · Post by **Kirk** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 8:17 pm

Does the meta game apply for when you play by yourself? I know there is the meta score for when you're in coop, but i don't know about when you're by yourself.

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 8:20 pm
