Just added everyone on the bungie.net group! Hope to get some good games in tonight.

 

nice!

mayyyyyyyyybe we could start 7:30 pacific so that it will be 8.30 for me and 9.30 for eastern guys...

time difference sucks.. but we'll probably just end up playing with whoever is on... on whatever night lol.



im a very regular player... so im on usually between 4pm-9pm central (not all 5 hours lol)
invite me anytime youd like.

im partial to team slayer/big team slayer/invasion

 

I'm cool with that. Besides, everyone can start up and come in whenever they want, It's not like if you're not on and in the group by 8 that we wont' let you play.

On that note, I'll change the start time to 7PM PST instead. Whenever anyone gets on, look for everyone else.

 

dont you rofl me

ninnymoggin

 

I wasn't rofling you, but the next time I'm an Elite in the game, I'm going to do the forward roll towards you and laugh.

 

maybe eventually we could set up a legendary campaign run..

my friends arent the most skilled of players...

 

i rendered my first video on bungie..

a swat game from last night right before i joined the AZ guys. we started off slow and ended up destroying them.
a few triple kills and a handful of doubles...

A17 (Barbie1001) is my fiance'... you guys can add her as well.. she can hold her own most of the time.

I haven't actually watched the video because we don't have silverlight at work. Does video rendering require bungie pro?

 

^^^ good question.

 

yes, it requires bungie pro...

otherwize you need a video capture card on your PC.. which is much, much more expensive and complicated.

 

Add me if you guys want my gamertag is Enraged Manatee. I have been playing mostly campaign though. But multiplayer is better than Halo 3 IMO. The DMR is so much easier to shot than the battle rifle.

 

battle rifle.. i miss you

 

4 shot kills were awesome

 

Bleh I hated the battle rifle. It seemed like everyone would find cover just before the killing bullet hit them.

The DMR matches my play style much better. Some people complain about the DMR's accuracy or their inability to kill with it in a firefight. If you have this problem, try to slow down and aim your shots better. Pounding on the trigger will cause you to miss much more often and causes the gun itself to become less accurate.

 

the DMR feels almost exactly the same to me

the main difference is you dont have the ability to "spray" across them anymore.. its a more precise weapon...

but the overall kill time, damage, and clip size feels the same...




the Assault rifle seems to have gotten more useless... i use my pistol 9/10 times on gametypes that start with AR

 

Oh, that reminds me.

When I use the speedboost on the Ghost or Revenant it seems to trigger a glitch. After using the boost for any amount of time I can no longer move in reverse. If I were to set the controller down and not push any buttons, the vehicle would still be moving forward. I also cannot fire the vehicles weapon while it in this state. Sometimes, if I tap the fire trigger enough, the vehicle will "snap out of it" and function as normal. Also, if I let it sit long enough, the effect will wear itself out. Again, this happens once I apply and release the boost button.

Does anyone else have this? Is this intentional?

 

i know you're not supposed to be able to fire any weapons while in "boost" mode.. it has always been this way on ghost/banshees/wraiths etc.

but if you mean after you let go.. im not sure whats going on there.. i dont use the vehicles much to notice anything.... any youtube videos of this problem/glitch?

 

I looked but I couldn't find any. Yeah it's after using boost, not while it is active. I may do some ghetto camera phone videoing to show you guys what's happening.

 

Here's the crappy cell phone vid I was talking about.

seems like you are having a little bit of a glitch there..

heres how mine reacts when i let off the throttle...

have you tried a different controller? my old one walked my characters to the left after i let go... and the throttle on this game is the left thumbstick...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbUc58wun3s

 

Yeah, mine works like normal sometimes. Other times however, it seems to get stuck moving forward. I have tried other controllers with similar effects. It gets really frustrating when trying to splatter someone, only to realize you can't stop. Also, in the video I was using the right thumbstick in order to avoid hitting a land mine. dumb things.

 

I think it sounds like a controller problem as well.

 

hit 120,000 credits last night... only 880,000 to go for exploding confetti head... and 1,880,00 to go for inclement weather helmet mod lol..

 

Dang dude, how much are you playing? I think i'm still around 22K+

 

dont think quantity...

Daily and weekly challenges are HUGE when it comes to credits...
i only play between 5-7 games a day... i just go after challenges...

and i dont spend any credits i earn i knew what i wanted when i first got the game... so saving is easy for me.

i even skipped 2 days last week...

Daily challenges and Matchmaking Firefight are the easiest ways to rack up points...

 

I played with a guy who had confetti. It was okay until we realized he sucked. Sounded like we were playing grunt apocalypse: "HOORAY!...HOORAY!...HOORAY!..."

 

how in the living hell, did he play over 4000 matches already?

you'd have to play over 20 games a day (7 days a week) for 6 months to achieve that many credits.....



i wouldnt mind seeing it.. could you upload it to your fileshare?

 

Sure if it's still in my local files..thing (forgot what it's called).

 

Yet another annoying problem with the game. This one seems to affect more that just me though haha. There is a severe lag between when I press a button and when the action takes place. It only happens during firefight matchmaking, offline firefight works great.

that could simply just be online lag...

that kinna thing happens to me on various games...
now the vehicle thing is still strange to me...

 

x 2

 

i played with a guy that had the confetti grunt head too. i dont know how some of these guys have that many credits. ive beaten the game on legendary but i did 1 mission with a friend and it fucked up my achievement. now i have to go back and beat that tedious mission again.

just moved to my new place and my 8mbit connection up and down will be installed this wednesday

 

1 word... Gruntocalypse

anywhere from 1200-5000 credits per game... each lasting about 10 minutes...

you're welcome everyone

 

here are all of the buyable armor effects for anyone who hasnt seen them.

Confetti, Hearts, green haze w/ bugs, and inclement weather...

and here's an extended one of just "inclement weather" aka Lightning with the Skull helmet.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsEUtfwCwmo

 

WTF??? does the other side not have any guns? I saw you get shot at once.

 

my friends are trying their hardest to get me to buy a 360 just for this game... they want to get the controllers and the game, and I will keep the system at my place.. I hate them, lol

 

Inclement weather weather looks pretty cool. I actually like how they have the cost ridiculously high for it. I feel the effect would be ruined if every other person had it.

I thought that the Grunt Birthday Party effect was like 150K, not a million something. Seems affordable to me.

 

I ownz teh swat

Its my fav. Gametype... Its (we are) a dying breed.

Oddly enough i suck at sniping

 

what is it? i mean whats its description.

 

swat is a gametype where a single headshot kills...

you get no radar...

the two weapons are DMR (semi-auto single shot rifle with a single zoom) and a pistol.

no grenades...

you can kill through body shots and melee, but it takes more shots/hits.
