    After recieving the game for christmas, I'm finally willing to step into the fray into online Multiplayer. I do wonder, though, if it is still worth it to keep voice chat off on regular pubs, or if you just need voice too much to play the game properly.

    If you're playing with pubs, you're not playing it right and thus don't have to worry about voice chat. Now if you're playing with friends and/or us, the voice chat is much appreciated. There's a handy "party and teammates" only option formvoice chat that mutes everyone else automatically.

    Also, the majority of pubbies I've run into don't use mics anyway.

    I bought this back in September and didn't have a lot of time to play because of school. And when I did play a game it was usually Starcraft.

    Now I'm on break and I'm at the last part of the last mission, on Legendary, by myself, trapped behind a rock and surrounded by guys with fuel rods.

    I want to die.

    That last part is a serious "fuck you". Plasma pistol and a headshot might work but, god speed sir.

    God speed.

    Re: Glacier: the framerate's fine if you move out into the map. Don't be craven. There's even an ammo cabinet right by the highest ground.

    so here is Forest Bump, my remake of timberland. i scrapped the first version to remake it on montana, since there was more room and more trees!
    also looked at weapon spawns and powerups from the original.
    i got a bit carried away with the bases but they retain the two stories. the ghost got swapped for two mongeese and the retarded scorpion for the more tame wraith. overall much more happy with this version. i'd love feedback.

    So, a while ago, I brought you a video that shows what happens when my girlfriend gets behind a Mongoose during Rocket Race. Well, she is still at it to this day.

    Here is what I saw and here is what she did in the meantime.

    Rendered.

    And.... did she just make a wrong turn and not play the map much? It happens to me on occasion.

    She is not all that familiar with the larger maps since we tend to stick to Multi Team and Rumble Pit. Also, I tend to do most of the driving most of the time. So she thought she was going not towards a cliff until it was too late.

    Thanks for the render!

    Awesome, I'll see you on the battlefield.

    I WTFed so hard when I read this thread title by the way, 120.000 is the daily limit?! I hope Cr earnings increase with level or something, because I've barely made 120.000 since I bought the game.

    Yes. I'm a Commander Grade 2, and depending on how long the game is, I usually get about 1500+ for a full length game. If it's a 5 minute Infection game, about 700.

    For reference, I was playing sniperfight the other day (as a field marshall) and I cleared 4000cR from game completion alone. That's not including the slot machine, commendations, or challenges.

    I'm only a Colonel and I'm getting around 1600 for game completes on the DLC playlist, mostly playing breakpoint invasion games.

    120,000 cR is probably more than enough for the time being. Assuming someone played for 12 hours straight, with an average of 4 games an hour, then they would need to be getting 2500 cR on average per game. While thats not outside the realm of possibility, it's unlikely that someone could consistently hit that total ever day like some people were with the old cap.

    Any of you guys who know how to set up spawns properly with Forge, I need some input. The stuff I have works fine for Slayer, but badly for everything else, and I'm pretty sure I'm just doing something stupid here.

    Does that kick in before or after the game actually starts?

    And anyways, why should I get banned because I don't want to play Rocketfight or Sniperfight? Why should I be forced to endure those modes that I just don't want to play? What's wrong with opting out? The game won't let me quit normally, the B button doesn't work, so I pretty much have to quit to the Dashboard, the game gives me no other option. The only thing you can do is get out via the Guide button.

    Hello halo thread. I just recently got the game and I have some questions about a particular oddity.

    Today I played a firefight game and two of the guys on the team just stayed afk at the base doing nothing. One just jumped up and down over and over again meleeing the roof. Why would they do that.

    Also is it normal to have so much input lag in firefight.

    1) because people are idiots

    2) depends on what you mean by 'so much'. There will always be input lag in Firefight since it uses a different kind of networking than normal multiplayer. If it's really bad though, you might want to either search with 'good connection' or go in with a party that doesn't lag for you.

    Naw me and the other guy lured a bunch of elites into the spawn point so they didnt get anything for not dying.

    Credit jackpots makes sense though. I dont mean to dwell on this but its frustrating honestly.

    They would do that because bungie watches whether a controller is being used or not. It was probably some turbo controller just sitting there, unattended.

    It's just too bad for the AFKers then that they also watch for automated behavior.

    Nothing escapes Bungie.
