Halo 2 is really starting to bug me

[curtins]

yeah I've basically lost 3/5 of all games played in the last two weeks

I went from a 23 all the way down to a 20 currently at a low 21

its really REALLY ticking me off

I really hate playing FPS games with a controller, give me a mouse and keyboard anyday.

Though I do feel your pain, I have my days when I dominate, and others when I get owned.

Good FPS games stopped being made after Perfect Dark...

You're one of those people who memorizes spawn points and aims a sniper rifle where a person's head pops up, aren't you?

I can't stand that! I just play with other people who smell of elderberries. Then we're all good. :


I prefer no shields, extra damage, only human weapons.

Oh, and Perfect Dark was awesome. Halo doesn't have bots!

Ah, I've started playing again on live after a long break. I've lost some of my shine. One game (team slayer on foundation), we were ahead 49 to 48, the other team pulled a standby (major form of cheating) and ending up winning.

standby?

[Dreamweaver]

[url="http://www.canmag.com/news/4/22/310"]Canmag.com[/url] has an article that talks about what standby is. Posting links like this on Bungie's forum is a bannable offense, but I trust that you won't do this kind of cheating.

Anyway, some routers/cable modems have a standby button which disconnects it from the internet. While disconnected, the standbyer can run around and kill people/steal flags while all the other players are in the "blue screen". Its becoming less common than it used to, since standbying can be detected and then you'll be less likely to become host. I think that if you're xbox is hosting the game, the cheat will work.

Oh yeah, just because you go in the blue screen doesn't mean the other team is cheating. It'll happen when it lags or other people quit out. Other tell-tale signs of standbying are the timer stopping prior to the blue screen, and the cheater's actions are really jerky and weird, perhaps running into the wall repeatedly.

The new perfect dark will most likely smell of elderberries. Has Rare even made a decent game since they signed over to Microsoft?

[BC4Life]

If you get to the point where Halo is making you angry, its best to put the controller down, turn off the Xbox and do something else enjoyable. Go for a walk outside, get some fresh air, check Phatmass, maybe do some reading. I've noticed personally that if I'm tense while playing, I gradually get worse and worse.

my name on halo 2 is OverKill210 i am a legend on that game......joke.
When the game first came out i swear i never lost. I had a good team goin for a while.........at one point we won like 20 straight games.

here are my stats................[url="http://www.bungie.net/Stats/PlayerStats.aspx?player=overkill210"]My Webpage[/url]
keep in mind this is the new ladder. I quit careing about the game along time ago. I wish bungie kept up with stats like head shots and stuff........ i ususually get like 10-20 head shots a game. You cant take me with snipers or battle rifles........I usually get killed by 10 year olds with duel wielding.....lol. Halo is so much better than Halo 2. Halo is by far the best first person shooter ever made. I am the man with the pistol.........i used to play with these guys that went to tournaments in chicago and stuff........they ranked 3rd nationally in halo 1. I was no where near as good as them cuz they always killed you in 3 shots with the pistol and always got you no scoping with the sniper no matter where they were or how far away they were from you.

now people are starting to figure out that auto aim carp.........they basically move around the map 1000 mph just hitting you in the head with every shot they take..........you really cant even see them. I think its generally little kids and young teens who arent too good and cant stand losing anymore.

I've more or less stopped playing video games, with a few exceptions here and there, but I happen to know that the answer is "no." The original Rare team that made all the amazing old games like Donkey Kong Country (1, 2, 3), DKR, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, etc. is long since disbanded. Now all we have are a bunch of mediocre developers riding the label.

Planetside online FPS where everyone you fight is another guy on a computer somewhere, there is nothing quite as satisfying as knowing that somewhere there is a guy yelling at his screen when I kill him. But it is even better since its not 32 on 32 but 100 on 100 on 100 or whatever( there are 3 sides in Planetside). Other FPS just don't do it for me anymore.
