alright, off work and it's some serious halo time.

When are we going to get together for a few matches? I'm a halo noob pretty much but I'd like the chance to take on some of you guys.

I'll be online later tonight. Got Smallville finale at 7, then gym, but will on about 8:45-9. I tried getting Jerry to go rent Crackdown or buy it, but don't think he's going to.

Jerry is probably too busy playing A&D on Calypso casino...haha

Well I have to watch the office finale from 8:00-9:00 but before and after that I'll be on for anyone who wants to play.
Cool. I'll definitely be on then.
I have the same schedule. I'll be on right after Office, so wait on me! We'll hop in a party together and play some team matches.

Sweet...the 3 of us can get in a room and pwn together.

If anyone else wants to join us tonight about 9PM CST, please let us know your XBox Live gamertag!

It was good playing with chris, raging bitch, and queasy tonight. We'll put in some more time this weekend if you guys are up for it. I made sure to save the video of me sniping the guy in mid-air while we were shooting off the man cannon at the first of that one match .

That shows how much I know about Halo Hopefully the next time we play we won't get beat as badly as that very last match we played. That was sad..

Heh...yeah, that was kind of a disappointing way to end what was otherwise a fun evening. The super-long wait for that last match didn't help either. :laugh:

I simply need to get better with my aim. I played a couple of matches this morning, and finished second in a shotty snipers match, so I'm getting a little better with the sniper. I was also first in a king of the hill match on valhalla, so I felt pretty good about that one....there was some stiff competition.

I'm thinking about picking up a video capture card so I can make a couple of videos before the beta is done. Any recommendations?

I've got the Hauppage PVR500 and don't have any problems with it.

Heh I really suck at sniping in Halo 3. Sniping has never been my greatest skill though. Gimmie a BR any day

Also does anyone else feel like Valhalla is now the new Coagulation? I have played that level for team slayer and one bomb assault, and it just feels so much like Coagulation. And that's a bad thing.

Didn't bungie learn anything from Coagulation?

I mean if you lose the bomb as you are in the other teams base and die, by the time you can get baack over there i respawns back at your base.

Then in team slayer, the tactics are the same as coagulation - rush to the center to get the power weapon and then just keep control of the power weapons and snipe people.

The map is just too big for 4v4 imo. I personally hate that map.

I don't mind that map... it's not TOO bad... personally my favorite of the 3 is High Ground.

I don't mind Valhalla...the pad that throws you to the middle of the level gets you there faster...along with the mongooses. Yea they're similar in some aspects, but it's not nearly as bad as Coag/Blood Gulch, not by any means. It probably won't really be featured as a 4v4 map after the beta anyway, is my guess.

Kojima Report podcast talks MGS4 on 360
Kojima Reports' Ryan Payton ducked into a locker, stating, "... we have not changed the game in any form with the idea of 'oh, we got to do this on 360.' Put aside whether or not we're developing for 360 or not, the game is built on the PS3 hardware ... ."

Using our relatively limited reading skills, we've managed to determine that one of two possible conclusions can be irresponsibly jumped to. The first: that the game will not be coming to the Xbox 360 and, as a result, they haven't changed anything; the second: the Xbox 360 introduced no limitations to their production and, as a result, it didn't need any changing.
That sounds dangerously close to a confirmation that MGS4 will be on the Xbox 360, which would be great.

Who's on tonight? Toss me an invite if so. Not sure what happened last night. Got kicked from the game we were in for some reason.

Is your gamertag Turls? If so I couldn't remember who you were from AT, but after you got kicked the other night I couldn't re-invite you for some reason.

We should definitely get some games going today, nobody should be working on Saturday

The wife is heading out with her lady friends today, so I should possibly have the entire afternoon to play if I want. I might go out to eat with a friend, but we'll see.

Wow I can't believe how different each time you play on Live can be. I don't play much online, and Halo 3 beta is the most I've ever played. Yesterday, the group I got matched with were dropping the N word and calling everyone faggots and stuff nonstop. And 10 mins ago when I just played, the group I was with didn't talk much but at the end of the game everyone told everyone "Good game" and "That was great" and stuff like that. That last game was much more enjoyable, that's for sure.

Yep. That's what drove me away from playing Halo 2. Seemed like every game I got in was some immature loser dropping N bombs or other crap. Got tired of playing on mute.

Yea, it definitely takes a lot of stuff to put up with a lot of the kiddos you'll meet.

I'll be on late tonight and a lot of the day tomorrow...see you guys at some point

Oh - I had a killer FFA game the other night - think I died maybe once or twice on a snipers/shotty game...next top guy had maybe 6. (Check my saved games)

It checks out....nice match! I just hopped in to play a couple of matches earlier tonight, and did pretty damn well myself. I don't give myself much credit with the sniper rifle, but I've been getting much better with it, finishing pretty high in solo matches, and staying somewhat even with my teammates in team matches.
