We should start playing with more Qcdn type custom matches. Would be fun. We do have some skilled players here anyways. Who knows maybe later when clans are moved into dashboard we would be worthy.

"Are you planning to add clans into halo 3? If so any idea on when and if it will be the same setup?"





"We will not add clan support to Halo 3 beyond the tools Bungie.net enables players to use. However, if Clan support becomes a part of the dash or Xbox Live in the future, then our game will continue to comply with updated Dash features. Caveat: We have no idea if that is happening or not, so don’t read too much into it."

I was playing an infection game earlier with people that are in a "clan". So far its all pencil and paper, and they get matches through the Bnet forums i'm guessing.


I also just finished making an all granades/all sticks match. Who wants to play it later tonight!

Cause all the online ones are in FFA and no FFA maps have flying vehicles.

Personally, no FFA maps should have vehicles at all. No tellin' how many times I loose to people who couldn't win a match against a granny with a gun. Unfortunately for me, there are three other people to not know how to deal with vehicles, usually.
 
I've noticed that Bungie.net is failing to report a decent amount of my games, medals, and ranking up over the last few days. I'm also havin' slow downs on matchmaking, i.e. I go into matchmaking and it takes 4 or 5 min. to retrieve information from the Halo 3 servers. This all started this week and I know I'm not alone. However, I've also been experiencing a worse than normal connection with my ISP (GG Charter, avoid them at all cost. Easily the worst cable company I've ever dealt with. Unfortunately, they pay my complex a load of money to require them.)

With that history I want to tell of some of my in-match problems to see if any of you other guys are experiencing any of these problems. I basically want to know if my internet is killing me or if the Halo 3 servers are bummed out a bit atm.

1: I'll pump a full clip of AR into someone, get a in the face shotty shot off, or snipe with blanks (like my pic in the pic thread). The result are: AR scenario I usually die and then a few seconds later get the message that I killed the person. This has happened on The Pit so I know they aren't jumpin' off after I die givin' me credit. The shotty scenario is I usually get meleed to death, they die after a bit and I get the kill (shotty Sniper on pit so again...). Sniper is just shooting blanks, they don't die. Shot a guy in the body 4 times two nights ago and he lived (matter of fact, never even moved until I rushed him), swaped to BR, rushed him and he died as normal.

2: Plasma Gernades: short and simple, they aren't sticking, at all. Close range, far away, they bounce off the people. Before all of this sticks where no problem for me. Spike Grenades are fine, they stick.

3: Sword: I hit someone with the sword 3 times, in case you missed that, THREE TIMES! They died when I swapped to the BR and hit them in the back.

This all begin on Sunday. I haven't played since nor do I care too. It's only hurtin' my total Kill to death ratio. I happened to be in matches with very friendly people and they all said they had been experiencing the same problems just maybe not to the extent. Also, none of these games are showin' up in Theater to replay, a bit wtf?!

Anyone else or am I alone with the in-match problems? All of these problems occurred Sunday. My Internet issues began Monday.
 
I haven't had anything like that. I will say plasma nades seem to be a hell of a lot harder to stick people with than spikes.

I've had some lag issues (might explain some of your problems), and Bungie.net is being slow, but I'd chalk that up to just being simply overwhelmed.

I've been having a LOT of lag issues. People have been complaining about my character appearing out of no where and killing them. Honestly everything seems fine on my end, I'd have never noticed it except that most of the time when someone's talking on my team (in game, not after the match) it sounds choppy and I can barely understand anything.
Just seems odd, thats all. >_> Still, though... Hearing stories of the elusive pink Spartan popping out of the ground with a shotty is kinda funny.

BY the way, I'm game for an all Quetz match if I have time. ^^ Gamertag: Sakurafire
 
I've only really noticed hit issues with the sniper rifle. Which makes me hate Shotty Snipers even fucking more. Not that I'm awful with it. I just hate being forced to use specific weapons unless it's for fun like a custom game I came across called Hammer Dash. Gravity Hammer + increased run speed and jump height.
 
I never notice lag, ever. Unless that is when its crazy out the ass lag, like everyone in the room had one red bar and its crazy for everyone. Besides that my nades stick, snipes register (even one that looked like it was a little high in the replay) and everything else is good. Maybe and occasional like wtf no way he beat me down first, but thats usually the guy lagging and my teammates notice it too.

I hate Vip matches. People are always so damn stupid and fuck off. I somehow manage to be the ViP everytime and get stuck fighting 3 people at once.

All good news IMO

The only better news than..

In the Team Slayer playlist, the appearance of Shotty Snipers has been greatly reduced.
Now, when players veto Shotty Snipers, the game that results from the veto will not be Shotty Snipers.

..would be Shotty Snipers being removed entirely.
 
The VIP move is only really bad for me. I would be the VIP almost everytime and i knew where to hide on every map. On narrows, there is a place below the map that you can get, but its so exact and if you move even a little after landing you die.

Besides, its not like it was ever really *that* hard to find a VIP. Just a bunch of whiney people.

Once i vetoed a VIP game, and got shotty snipers. I was pissed..
 
I don't really know about one sided VIP matches, never played any. But Multi-team or Big Team VIP is fun.

While I agree that there is far too many shotty games, I dont really mind it. Because I rarely lose at it.
 
It's a horrible mode for a ranked playlist. Cornholing people into using specific weapons and nothing but is retarded in a serious match.
 
Matchmaking as a whole is retarded but it is Bungie we have to deal with here. The lack of choice and gametype is just dumb.
