The Official Halo 3 Topic

[Scott McFly]

I think that was just for people in parties, if you entered the game by yourself then it was fine. Bungie said there was a problem for parties experiencing stupidly long matchmaking times.

[Cactus Drags]

Yeah, tried it solo and it wasn't as bad, but it was still bad.

[King Ellis]

KING OF THE HILL IS NOT SLAYER.

ODDBALL IS NOT SLAYER.

ONLY SLAYER IS SLAYER.

FUCKING LEARN, YOU LEGION OF FANBOY DICKWADS.

I'd post at bungie's forums, but don't believe the majority of the membership can read.

Pfft, at least those are solo. Team stuff is worse.

"THIS IS CAPTURE THE FLAG, NOT SLAYER! COME PROTECT THE FUCKING FLAG YOU DOUCHES!"

[Cactus Drags]

I only do team stuff with friends.

[Guest Kou]

Like gangbangs?

[Guest Kou]

To be king of your swords and juggernauts (despite Sloggers claims I can't get 9 kills in 5 minutes) use Kou brand wax paper.

[Rebby]

Oh, uh.

My XBL account is Rebnik if anyone wants to randomly add me. Hopefully I can guess who you are.

I can jump on Halo any at late night or early morning USA time

[Slogger]

Last month, Halo 3’s Hoppers received a handful of changes and tweaks, most notably, perhaps, reducing the frequent appearance of Shotty/Snipers was appearing in Team Slayer. This update, due early next week, includes a more robust list of changes, tweaks and adjustments to Halo 3’s Matchmaking. We’re continuing to take pretty long looks at Community feedback in the Optimatch forum (among other places) and tracking hopper data so that we can continue to improve the hoppers regularly.

Here’s the list (remember these changes aren’t live right this very moment, but they will be early next week):

--Social Doubles has been removed from matchmaking

--Rocket Race Hopper has been added to the Social hopper – 8 players, join in parties of up to 8 players.

Multi-team:

--Hammerzeit game variant has been added

--The frequency of VIP gametypes has been reduced

--Swords gametypes will now be to 25 kills, rather than 50

Lone Wolves:

--Player count has been increased to 6 players

--Swords gametype has been added

--Oddball games on Snowbound and Epitaph have been reduced considerably

Team Slayer

--Guardian has been added to the playlist

--Valhalla has been added to Team Slayer

Social Skirmish

Flag gametypes will now appear more regularly [YAY!]

Rumble Pit

Added both Construct and Isolation to several gametype

Rocket Race is now an official matchmaking game? Great news. Oddball and VIP being reduced is good news as I am not really a big fan of either of them.

[Gongsun Zan]

I always thought VIP was alright, but the time for each round was set for way too long. Oddball on the other hand, was way too short. One good run was all you needed to win, compared to say, Crazy King.

[Kyle_]

I am always pretty good when playing as the VIP. But like Zan said, the time needs to be shortened. I've always hated oddball though.

[King Ellis]

Can someone join me a in Ledgend/Achivement run at some point. I wouldn't mind getting the skulls/terminals along the way to that Ledgendary completion. LL, Kou i'm looking in your direction.

[Gongsun Zan]

I'll do it. But I insist we do Cortana and Halo first.

[Guest Kou]

Since I haven't beaten the single player, cause it's boring as shit, sure.

[Hellfire]

I need friends on here that aren't horrible. I just played three straight games where my team got raped, and I gave up 3/4 of the way through because they were all useless. So add me to your friends lists anyone, I don't care what we play, I just don't like to get destroyed in every game.

Well add Slogger and your good to go!

Coming...to a fileshare near you! The sequel to the twice downloaded Dumb Fizzy....Dumb Fizzy 2! Now with added Mongoose! Thrills, spills and chills! Don't miss it. Also, Dumb Ellis and fun with Ghosts.

Finishing not only my super arch rival Fizzy but a 47 skill Bridgadier? Awesome

A note for future reference. Ellis likes sticky grenades.

[King Ellis]

Some people are stubborn and like to think they will always win a duel. Some people will go down shooting and sometimes end up dead with nothing to show. Me, i'm willing to accept my death and will quickly toss a sticky at the other guy to ensure I take him with me.

Death from the grave, thats me.

Erm, I mean...nothing to see here! Carry on walking up to me with your assult rifle blazing. <_>

I've been using the sticky grenades lately. It's funny as hell.

Speaking of funny as hell, so was Dumb Fizzy.
