    It's not unsuprising. People in Japan are mostly A) just wanted it to buy Blue Dragon and B) Ex Pats.

    Most of A now have Blue dragon.

    KEEP AWAY!

    (We have his hat)

    about the second level and skulls,
    in co-op if you get the skull in that mission before going down stairs you can 'sort of' play 'basketball' with your friend using the skull.

    As in use 'RT' to drop it and you'll instantly pick it back up since you don't have any other item, and if you sort of move towards your friend and 'drop' it they'll pick it up...

    utterly pointless and fairly stupid, but it amused me and my friend for abit...

    got all my skulls, not a huge fan of the helmet... but the Chest piece is *awesome*.

    Why do the laggers of modern day gaming get the advantage? Ever since Counterstrike, having a shitty connection has benefited you, and I'm pretty tired of it.

    What. The. Fuck? I just turned on my Xbox to have it tell me that my Xbox-Live gold account has expired, a month and a half before it should have. The day the 360 came out, I paid for a year of Live, and got a free year of live from Microsoft for going to Zero Hour, so it should still be good through November 21st. And I just bought a new headset this fucking week too, and can't exactly afford to renew Live at this moment.

    Either:

    ring up and complain loudly.

    Use you two days of free gold that comes with Halo.

    Start a new Gamertag and use the month of free live that comes with it

    Pay ten dollars and buy a month.

    My friends and I got standbyed today in a BTB Slayer game on Last Resort. We were ahead by a dozen kills or so when all of a sudden, we all started lagging out into the red and the other team magically jumped back up and beat us by 10 kills. Lag disappeared in the last 10 seconds of the match.

    I'm gonna be calling them tomorrow, this is the second time Ive been screwed out of Live time. First time involved a 12-month card that I entered before my account expired, and their stupid system only changed the renewal date from 12-months from when I entered it, instead of just incrementing the year, making me lose 7 months of it.

    I got mine when 3 of the other team left, and 2 of mine did, on Team Slayer (shotty snipers on Snowbound). Just sat there sniping the poor guy (he was really bad, too) while my teammate harassed him up close until we finally got 50. I think I hit 11 before he got me.

    Its not even ranked and people are still cocksticks? This is why Matchmaking sucks and I prefer custom games, Why Bungie felt the need to put achievements you can only get in Matchmaking, and even worse the Ranked FFA ones, I simply don't get.

    Guys, I know I'm playing total noob, but...

    What are these "points" and "metagame" people keep throwing around? As far as I know, correct me if I'm wrong, I can unlock everything in the game if I get:

    All Skulls
    Beat All on Legendary
    All achievements

    There's nothing else I need to do, right?

    This'll probably be the 3rd or 4th time I've posted this but:

    Enter the lobby, switch it to campaign mode, press X. Where it says 'Off' Press A, press left or right until it reads 'Team' or 'Free for All'.

    Congratulations, you've turned scoring on (until you restart Halo 3, anyway). You get points from kills. Check my post on the first page of the thread for more information on skulls, terminals and a link to the Bungie scoring hints.

    not for me

    i live in an apartment and once or twice a day too much porn gets downloaded and the internet for the entire building reverts back to pre 28.8k modem days. If this happens during a Halo 3 match, well, I may as well go make a burrito cause I'm not gonna move one inch for the rest of the match. I'll try and move, then rubberband back to where I was. Or I'll "die" but it won't register on my box for 45-50 seconds later when I'll just fall over.

    I still clearly blame lack of dedicated servers for part of this. Microsoft has dropped the ball with addressing latency.

    Weren't a lot of guys getting on the Polish servers and coordinating together to get achievements?

    I'm not saying you got it that way, I got plenty by talking other people into coordinating. I just didn't know if you saw people doing that.

    Well, the boosting factor was why I changed my languages to Polski. I was hoping to drop in on a boosting party (I've been trying for days to achieve overkill). Instead of managing that, I was placed in The Pit King of the Hill- and got it legit.
    I think God was testing me.

    You actually have to aim.

    Needler's Lock is'nt as strong as well as the Plasma gun.

    If you don't stick a head in the reticule properly, you'll miss. Hitting a Jackal between the shield is much harder and the sniper rifle does'nt have that snap-lock like before.

    So yeah, much better.

    Co-op’d the second half of Legendary last night and completed my EOD set – yay! I said a day or two ago that I thought that the Heavy SWAT armour from Oni should have been an armour permutation. I now take that back, since I’m pretty sure that EOD is Oni’s Heavy SWAT, or very close. The helmet is boss.

    Also, has anyone posted the video of the High Ground glitch? The one where you drive a mongoose into the pipe and it pops you through the wall and into the base? I haven't read the last few pages, and I don't want to link something everyone knows.

    Though I have seen video of a really good sticky.

    I just tried driving a mongoose into the pipes. It definitely doesn't fit.

    Though I did get out while near the pipe entrance and popped inside the base. Not too far in, just at the opposite side of the wall. I doubt it's going to be a useful exploit what with it taking some effort to do with very little pay off.
