Posted May 18, 2007 Yeah it is kinda lame that the driver gets no credit... obviously i wasnt gonna drive upto people to try and run them over because you only end up getting blown up.. but the guy who was on the back of my hog got atleast 10 kills quite easily. Hmm i wont be on untill like 9-9:30 but even then i might be playing Gears Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2007 Getting backers off people (Do they call them that down south? You know when you got two people on a bike when you were a kid?) is well funny. Had some kid on the back of my car yesterday shouting at me for driving like a madman, doing flips and crashing into walls. And was on the back with some guy from a newcastle board driving later on, bombing around shouting "WEEEEEE!" and invariably both ending up deed after a horrific collision.

Posted May 18, 2007 Personally i'm incredibly impressed that XBL didn't go down at any point during this thing. I mean, wow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2007 Personally i'm incredibly impressed that XBL didn't go down at any point during this thing. I mean, wow. Thought the Halo servers went down at one point tho, didn't they? That's what someone on another board was saying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2007 Just had and awesome bunch of matches with Nintenchris! Anyone going to be on at about 6:30/7:00 for some Halo 3 Team carnage!? I'll be around then, assuming my Internet connection speed isn't stupidly low again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2007 That what Nintenchris, and somethimes me when I wasn't getting my face introduced to the butt of a gun, were just doing, awesome strategie except the driver gets sod all credit for the kills which is kinda annoying. Does anyone think the Trip Mine is a bit lame/redundant? The driver gets an assist. It's a team game, it doesn't really matter who gets the kills at the end of the day. I think the Trip Mine is great. Maybe not so much in Slayer games, but in Skirmish you can lay it in the strategic positions that are needed for the Skirmish. On territories put it next to the territory and the chances are someone from the opposing team will hit it. Try putting it at the bottom of the man cannon and people will hit it when they go off it.

Yea, you have a point. I tried launching the mine with the man cannon and it worked the first time. The second time it didn't want was stuck they so I walked over it so my team mates didn't get any nasty suprises! Where does it show the assists? The other thing that slightly annoys me is changing grenade type. I just wished the icons were a bit clearer cos during a firefight I generally just lob any of them. Its not a big thing...its just a little niggle. I'll be around then, assuming my Internet connection speed isn't stupidly low again. Cool, I should be on then barring any unforseeable problems! <_< >_> My 1month of gold just ran out. Anybody have a spare 48hour I could steal? Pretty please? I'll just PM you a code, hold on!

Posted May 18, 2007 Where does it show the assists? In the post game carnage report. Press RB and you can scroll along and see other things than the final game scores. Press back when you are looking for a game and you can see all the stats from the previous game, including the MVP. Assists count for MVP, one game my bro got 17 assists (he was driving) and 11 kills, I got 17 kills and he still got MVP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2007 Awesome, cheers....but whats a MVP? (If this a really stupid question, sorry!) And could someone explain the whole rank/point/military badge thing please! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 18, 2007 Dual wielding is the way to go, chinning someone John Woo style and then calmly reloading both guns at once. Dual wield 2 SMGs are the best I think, just awesome firepower. Killed a few people with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2007 Most Valuable player. Cheers! Man of the match basically, awesome! : peace: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2007 Love the file share feature, I know Caris has added me, haven't got around to playing him yet, If anyone wants a game just add me and I should be on tonight... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Killed a few people with them. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Seriously, single weapons are far more powerful. The assualt and the battle rifle with a combination of a grenade and melee attack is unstoppable. Oh and the Brute Spiker does seem more powerful than the SMG over long range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2007 I finally found the Spartan Laser...I was crap with it the first time but the second time I used it I could see its merits with the duble kill I pulled off! Favourite bit so far was my kamikazi jump which resulted in 2 frags from "beyond the grave"! p.s.What does everyone think of my new avartar? Stefkov inspired me to change!

Posted May 18, 2007 And could someone explain the whole rank/point/military badge thing please! Your rank (the number next to your name) is specific to that particular playlist and goes up or down depending on whether you win or lose. You military badge is based on your Rating Points (RP), I'm not sure how you get them, but I think you get more depending on how well you do in a game. Go to http://www.bungie.net/stats and you can see how close you are to the next level and loads more stats about how you play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 18, 2007 I like how it updates it to the bngie website, however I'm annoyed it doesn't show my dot inside the diamond. On the last game me an Nintenchris got our dot in the diamond... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2007 Yea, mine doest show that either...I wonder why... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2007 It lasts as long as you speak for, just like Halo 2. It was stupid then as well. When you have 8 players on your team, it really isn't a good idea... Of course it is. Talking to your team is pretty much essential, stopping and pressing the d-pad is just a pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
