[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] nordfalt How can you be owned by a sniper when its BR on? You only have to shoot at him and it become very hard for him to snipe. I agree that the team with sniper have the upperhand of the game, but if you only throw grenades and shoot with BR at him he will die kinda fast.[/quote] Check my previous post (page 10) that links to a game. Lets do some math and try to understand balance. 1 BR (4 shots) = 1 Sniper (1 shot). OK that doesn't work...lets look at it from the whole team point of view. 3 BR (4 shots) + 1 Sniper (1 shot) = 4 BR (4 shots) ....hmmm... Couple that with a protetive spot on the map that has a good angle on most respawn points and a map that's small enough to snipe unscoped and you get major ownage such as what I posted earlier. I believe this is the only map with only ONE long range, one-shot-kill weapon such as the sniper or RL. The Hell-Mary desperation grenades randomly hurled at that corner of the map didn't do us much good as you can see. I'm not complaining...it's just the nature of the game and I had fun even though it was slightly frustraiting to continuously get sniped immediately after respawn. I go after that gun myself as soon as the game starts. If I go back in my game list I could probably find a dozen or more games just like this where a team protected a good sniper on that map and completly slaughtered the other team. It did seem worse this time without the aid of the PP/BR. On any other map, that sniper would have been taken out farily quickly by another sniper or a rocket.

Will their be game types that do not include dual weilding? What I mean is will their be games types that dont include it. Not just Battle rifle or snipers ect.
-
There are way to many standbyers still. Almost every other double team I play I get standbyed. I am so sick of it, I leave feadback, but I'm not sure it will lead to anything...
-
Will the old maps with default weapons ever show up with the same frequency as they did before the reset? I really liked default slayer Rumble Pit back then, and while I (somehow) have a higher level now, I'm not a fan of the battle rifles-only, shotguns, or other gimmicky games, but it's all Rumble Pit will give me now. Getting a default weapons Rumble Slayer seems to be a rare blessing these days.

blazin As I and CHRONIC714 were really rasists only because i come from europe. wich is the best way to report rasism?
-
Frankie, if you are delaying the map disc for another week( or other time period) could you be so kind as to tell me when the date for the map disc comes out to stores. Please and Thank you.

Unless you have a red flag( the sign from feedback when you cheat), there is no reason for them to ban you if they say you are cheating.. Bungie stated that they have better technology to distinguish cheaters and you should know that unless you really were cheating it is unlikely that you will be banned.
-
The BR games are just titles stating that your beginning weapon is a BR. Otherwise the weapons for the lvl dont change for the most part.
-
The friend list is to small it should be possible to have more friends on live.
-
I live in sweden and sometimes when we in europe play against people in america or asia it lags. We dont cheat or anything but some americans and asians think that we do so they send feedback on us. Can we get banned for this. We should not get banned because its not our fault that we live in europe.

I have just done a new game that I call brute my balls and its really funny I based it on my other game brute my flag. In brute my balls its teams and its 3 balls and you start with brute shot and brute plasma rifle. This owns and you really should try it out. Also try one of my other games: Plasmabomb. Its really funny. You start with plasma grenades, plasma pistol and plasma rifle and on the map there is plasma weapon, but no grenades. It is multibomb, but the bomb guy is fast.It really owns at midship. You should also try my games needlernaut and needlerball. Needlernaut is juggernaut but the only weapon is needler and needlerball is the same but with a ball. Only the ballguy are allowed to beat down persons.

How can you be owned by a sniper when its BR on? You only have to shoot at him and it become very hard for him to snipe. I agree that the team with sniper have the upperhand of the game, but if you only throw grenades and shoot with BR at him he will die kinda fast.

I have to say that it is still really much cheating going on and I wanna know what the best way to report them is cause the feedback on live dont work very good. I have meet the guys that cheated on me before again and again and again and they cheat all the time. Why dont they become banned its really annoying I meet some of them every weak.

Yesterday i couldn't connect to xbox live and when i started the troubleshooter it said that nothing was wrong, but i could not come in. Why is that?
-
To the person asking about two or four person on 360. The 360 can have up to four poeple playing on the 360. There are two, i repeat two USB ports in the front covered by plating pieces that can come off. Also there is a third USB port in the back of the 360 for a fourth player.

you guys dont freaking understand boosting. Its when the opposite team of you quits and you automatically win. This works late at night because no one is on and it will be easy to match up with your friend. anyway, i have been in situations where my own friend has quit on me. I have skills at this game and most of the time own the other team even if they have more people. For people that dont like these kind of players and want to win that game heres a hint: if you're winning and all of your team has quit. Just hide! I mean its so easy to hide at some of these maps. Ascension: go to the big base and go on the bridge and jump down into the mists and hope you make it all the way down to the bottom. Trust me, if the go down after you they will most likely commit suicide and by the end of the game they'll be in negatives. Zanzibar: one word, water... Turf: you can hide on some of the higher areas like on some of the poles or just hide behind boxes. Pretty much im done because i'm bored of thinking. For some people my gamertag is homestar6592 and I have never boosted before. I have heard in custom games people disscussing it. For one thing... I WANT TO SEE SOME NEW MAP PICS CAUSE IM ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT WAITIN' FOR THEM... Guys... dont be a**holes a nd discriminate Frankie because u thought he totally blew off the Halo 3 question. If he did he would have talked about something totally unrelated to electronics. He wants to make it a surprise for you guys. Come on don't ruin it.

I was playing matchmaking today and i noticed a quite obvious problem with in game messages. IT COVERS HALF THE BLOODY RADAR. Now, the back half of the radar to me tends to be the most important half because i can see ahead of me, but... not behind. Anyway, i get a possum load of messages while i play and need to be able to see behind me. Has anyone else noticed this? Will you fix this in the au?
-
It has up to 4 wireless controllers. Frankie, for those people who quit in the middle of the game, how about a 1 hour matchmaking ban? Sounds fair, and if they quit with a reason, they wont even notice, because they're gone! I'm a genius... And about boosting, wtf? So if I'm playing with a friend who hasn't played much matchmaking, I'll get banned? That's bs Frankie... what if you want to play matchmaking with a friend? You'll get banned if he's a higher/lower level? That's not cool man...
-
Frankie I have a question. Does Xbox 360 have 4 players or only 2 players? If you can answer this will u tell me because I really want to know.
-
Ya I wann see more map pics too!

Frankie has been lucky enough to avoid Colossus since the update if he hasn't been "owned" by a sniper yet. Check this out: [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStats.aspx?gameID=180026205&player=packbackster]Sniper Ownage on Colossus[/url]

hey frankie how would mister chief look like in a bikini washing his pimped out warthog!
-
Gotta say those are some nice evasion skills Frankie... Anyway Even when I get my 360, Halo 2 will probably be the most played game in my house. It just dosen't get any better than Halo. PS: Please tell me that you are working on Halo 3. Cuz if you are doing another game other than that and we have to wait like three years for the next halo that would suck. and i think mister chief should get at least his own flash game like, Halo: combat devolved starring mister Chief. yeah, that would rock. go bungie!
-
i wouldnt consider super jumping cheating its useally hard to do but its true that any one can do it and it dosent really give a advantage to any team because even if your at the top of the level or at the bottom u cant get hit easily unless u have the sniper but u run out of amo sometime any ways prety quickly but i under stand when people get mad at people that do it exspecialy when they hide the bomb and all their men up their trying to piss u off but u cant get banned for it its not considered cheating by bungie in a ould weekly update but they said it was annoying
-
yes, i am wondering that too. if you guys are working on Halo 3 then i will leave you be because i want Halo 3 to be the best it can be, but if you aren't, then i think i speak for everyone when i say " get them new friggin levels out!"
