The xbox live formally known as Halo 2 thread

[TheShend]

I had a few large team games in quick match today, not touched the game since before xmas >_< Nice change, only heard faggot screamed once ^_^

Got your clan invite Fallows as well. Ta.

I'll be on this during the days if anyone once a go!

[Crisp_Rapper]

Anyone up for some Halo tonight ?

I feel like getting cheated again, Maybe Some dummying or standby or dummyby.

Ill be on about 7ish

seeing as it's you Gerry.......

The Gamufi clan played alot of matches last night, and after some hoking and poking, realised that one of our UK members can standby himself. Useful if we ever get cheated >_<

[TheShend]

Ta to EvilBoris for taking me under his wing for a few games. Apologies, i was useless Boris ^_^

I singlehandedly gave the red team that draw in CTF on Coagulation. I decided it was a good idea to move the banshee near to the base back entrance and blow it up to stop the warthog getting down and glitch grabs.

However, when i exited the banshee, ran back and threw a grenade, it caused it, in a feat of great physics, to bounce back into my face with hilarious effect, thus rendering our base defenceless >_<

Ah well.

Not the cleverest idea I've ever heard, given that standby is the one thing that Bungie themselves are checking game logs for evidence of, with or without player complaints.

'the goods' as they say are here, right from frankie's keyboard:

So the basic details for the new map release plan go like this:

* We're releasing a total of nine new multiplayer maps.
* All nine maps will eventually be available as Live downloads and as a normal boxed game disc - available at retail for $19.99 (US).
* The release on Live will be staggered, some paid, some free!
* The first two maps are free and coming in a few short weeks. (late April)
* The same day the 2 free maps are released, 2 additional maps will be available for purchase.
* The remaining 5 maps will be made available as a paid download on the same day the retail package goes on sale.
* The retail disc will contain extras, including a documentary, a cool project from our cinematic and animation team, every Halo 2 update released so far and possily one or two other little treats.
* By late summer, ALL the maps will be available for free.

I'm not best thrilled about this to be honest.

Shendy boy, you playing Halo 2 now?

[Pavey]

Just turned this on for the first time in at least 2 months. Was really,really, looking forward to it.



Lasted 2 games/about 12 mins. Got singing,rednecks,hillbillys,people claiming they know my mother,children,retards,the Dallas Cowboys,Gi Joe etc etc...
And to think these c***s want to rule the world!


*EDIT* Just thinking about it,for me the game is ruined now. Have no desire to go online with it,just come away cursing.

[EvilBoris]

I went on it yesterday, I'd never been cheated on in a game once. Not once.

but yesterday it happened to me in 3 games. shocking

[Yoshimax]

I hate Xenophobia but our American friends make me A.N.G.R.Y.

The thing is, some of them are so decent - we played a team skirmish the other night, there were 3 of us and we got paired with a guy (Capt. Versillion or something?) - He was ace, really communicative, really friendly - we played one game then he joined our party for the rest of the night.

Maybe it's a pack mentality with them I don't know.

Ain't never come across a European cheater. It's all Yank baby. "Win by any means"

What really rocks my socks is when they cheat and YOU STILL BEAT THEIR SORRY ASSES.

And can we all agree to buy a copy of the "expansion pack" (?), share it as much as possible then return it to the store ? It's the only way I can think to stick it to M$

[EvilBoris]

When is the Live Autoupdate being released? When can we get additional info about the rest of the maps and anything else coming up?

The Live update will be released shortly before the first maps. The update itself will be a relatively tiny file, but contains significant changes to address cheating, glitching and other exploitable bugs. We also took this opportunity to improve split-screen display support and do some fine-tuning on melee and grenade combat. We'll be releasing more detail about this in the coming weeks. In the meantime, you can read more about it in the "Weekly What's Update."

The Autoupdate is currently scheduled for release some time in April and shortly before the first maps are available.

maybe that means they can adjust the shotguns so they work

I am buying the expansion pack with some friends. It doesn?t really matter who gets to keep the disk.

Law of averages. It's relatively rare that you come across a player on Halo 2 who isn't American, cheater or not.

[Jakeway]

I keep getting disconnected, it has happened about 5 times tonight? Huff?.

[dataDave]

What about last night when that entire team quit out after losing one point! LOL. what a set of TWATS!!

Thumbs up to the geezer who kept with it and stayed on there still trying to play properly by himself.


Although tonight I'm going to the top of HEADLONG!!!
