Mr Biggles

Welcome my friend.

Label 'Other crap?' allthe games out right now, are good. plus, all of the hostbooters and derankers are still at halo 3, which is good.

tbh i'd just use it, or offer on other forums, also, i believe offering things is not allowed.....?

hey there buddy, welcome to the forums

This is going to be a very personal entry to me, so im going to start from 2001, The year when halo 1 came out, up to 2011, where, reach came out. Lets Begin. 2001, man was this a great year, i was 6, and, i just had started going to nursary i think (or school, i can't remember), and i can remember, i only used to play Donkey Kong 64, holy crap, was that a game to play, Nintendo 64 + Donkey Kong 64, i was always scared of going too far out of the map incase something bad happens and i die for some stupid reason, anyway, it was christmas eve, and as the typical young child, i was excited about christmas, what i was going to get, etc etc, basically being, the sad young child i was. Christmas day came along, and i opened up all of my presents, and, i got my first xbox, and i got halo 1, i kind of disregarded that games for the other games i got, as i wanted to play other games like crash bandicoot, and other games like that, when i finally came to halo 1, i didn't think it was impressive that much, (apart from graphics), but, i couldn't put the game down, i wanted to keep playing it, unfortunately, other things came in the way like reception and all of that, so, i didn't play that much (basically before my gaming addiction 2007 - ?) and i stopped playing halo for a bit. 2002 came, and, wasn't really an interesting year for me, i finished halo 1, started other things, but, at 7, i wanted to play online, because, my brother, who i believe hates me in more ways then one for no reason, kept refusing, to do anything with me, (still a huge **** now) and wouldn/'t play 1v1's or anything (i think we played one 1v1, and we weren't taking seriously) or do co-op campaign, he's basically the brother i don't want, i love him, but i don't like him, so yeah, 2002 and 2003 rolled on very quickly, so i will disregard them years. 2004 came, and that was obviously when halo 2 came out, i was really excited for this, since, after i finished halo 1, i couldn't wait for Halo 2, since i thought it was going to be boss, and to me anyway, i was right. Halo 2 to me had a fantastic campaign, but, it felt so unfinished and needed more to it to be honest, but, after that, i couldn't play online. Reason, we had no internet, my dog (who is now dead) because he was so clumsy, he tripped over the wire and broke it, so, no internet for anyone, we finally got internet in 2007, for halo 3 and halo reach, but after that, i had no internet, so no online was played, i actully have a fun story, i still had a PS2 in these days, and i loved burnout: Revenge, and i tried to connect online, and i tried like 20 times, but it wouldn't connect, little did i know, the first stage is we actully needed a internet, so, i got really mad and got rid of my PS2 after that, i never played it again. 2005 and 2006 were again boring years, so again, it was basically me playing on my xbox, just various games like hitman (which i still think is the thing to play), and other games, soul calibur, crash bandicoot etc 2007 is a year im going to spend possibly the longest on, because so much happened this year. 2007 was when i began in year 7 / Freshman year (for you americans) at high school, and, i hate the people at my school, and i hate my school, because everyone is such a rich snob and likes, rub it in my face, cause compared to them, i am really poor, i live in a council house (house owned by the council), i don't hang out with them much, i don't speak to many girls (Apart from on facebook), and im insecure about this stuff. Right now it isn't so bad as it was, but, i still get the odd comment from people, and, i don't care, because, really, im a huge softie, i just try to be nice and kind to everyone, and i don't want to start fights, because, that's just how i am. Christmas day again, i didn't know the xbox 360 was coming out, all i knew was there was some mysterious new console, could of been an xbox or a Ps3, i didn't know, but i was excited to find out what it was, so, i got up at 6AM, i think i made everyone mad, but i don't care, i wanted to know what this console was, so, i open ed it all up, got loads of new games (Assassins creed 1, Halo 3, Pes 2008, etc) and, this taught me a lesson, never to wake my family up at 6am. Unfortunately, we had a problem with the halo 3 disc, it had, literally smashed, like, it was all in little pieces when we opened it up, and there's a reason for this, you know the halo 3 limited edition with the cool black box and stuff? yeah, well, the disc tray parts, are too small for the disc itself, so, wehn we opened up, aside from the disc being HUGELY scratched, it smashed, this is another lesson, don't buy limited edition stuff, if the disc is broken! , now, that may seem pretty obvious, but ive had limited edition stuff which has had nothing in it, IE, Kane and Lynch 2, it said it came with all of this amazing stuff, yet, when i opened it up, it had just the game, yes yes, i should of traded it in, but, i couldn't be bothered. 2007 was also the first year i got my internet back, so i could play Xbox live finally, and this was daunting, because, until now, i had never played xbox live before, so i was excited about it, but at the same time frightened, because, from when i was on the internet before, i knew what people could be like on the internet, so i was frightened. 2008 was my first real year of online experience, and i learnt so much, like, playing more makes you better, be nice to the community, getting better is good etc etc, but, the most important lesson i learnt was, don't judge, i loved judging when i was younger, i would judge everyone in the first 90 seconds of seeing them, just by how they looked and how they come across, infact, i still do that now, but not as much. I learnt so much within a year that, it almost makes me sad thinking about it, because, ive learnt more from halo, then i ever have from 10 years of school, which is, weird but true, and, i will never forget what this one guy told me, its the fact that, people aren't stupid, no one is "stupid", people just learn slower then others, which is true, anyway, moving on to my halo ranks, i got to like, 30 or 35, which wasn't too high, but i thought i did pretty well for myself in the first year of my official xbox live, but obviously i played other games too, like Assassins creed, fallout 3, etc, they were just fun games and things that i really wanted to play 2009 was where i got my competitive stride going, and i started to play MLG, i got bored of stuff like Team slayer because, honestly, to me, i had terrible teammates, now that may sound harsh now, but, for 40+, they couldn't even shoot straight, which was depressing because, i thought i could do pretty well, anyway, i played MLG quite early on in 2009, and i couldn't stop, MLG, is another world from another halo, its so much more competitive, and to be its so much more fun, and this is where to be honest, my competitive stride began here, i have been, never so addicted to my xbox and so competitive in my life, until when i started playing MLG, i mean now im nowhere near as bad as i was competitively or addictive wise, but back then, holy ****, i played non stop, i had like, my own regime, i got up at like 8 am on weekends, and played till like, 3am, it was ridiculous, i wanted to place as high as i could, but it just wasn't happening, but i encounted, so many nice people in MLG, to name a few, Noskillzz, Blazed Nades, Gazzy Mill Mill, you know, people who are just, willing to help you and make you better, and, i learnt so much in so little time, that, i love them guys for teaching me, anyway, i got to like, 45 on my second account in MLG, and finally got to 50, and i was so happy about it that i screamed so loud at 3 am, and my parents had a go at me, but i didn't care, i was happy. 2010 i was getting bored of halo 3, and i kinda wanted to paly something new, and, at E3 2010, they announced Halo: Reach, i was happy about this, i played the beta, and it was strange, because, it was someyhing new and fifferent, now, im not one that enjoys change, but i did enjoy this one, it seemed much smoother and much better then the other halo's, and i really enjoyed the beta. Unfortunately, they messed around with it too much and i went from enjoying it, to disliking, bloom was horrible, too much luck, no ranking system, but, it was one of them things you had to play for a bit and enjoy for what it was to get the most out of it, before theTU, i was loving reach, because, i got used to it by now, so, i kind of didn't have a choice. 2011 is right now obviously, and not much has changed, i still play MLG competitively, i don't play as much, but i still play, i love the title update, it removes the luck element, and the game just feels great right now, and, im looking forward to halo 4. I just wanna give a huge shoutout to the community, you are inspring to me, i keep doing this for you guys, i hope you guys enjoy this entry and keep giving me ideas for future ones. I won't be making another entry until after christmas, as obviously, i wanna celebrate christmas, so no entry on christmas day, sorry guys! For entry 11: Run through of Countdown What to drink?

there's also something called TECHNO KITTEH ADVENTURE! c'mon, its like, 80 MSP i think or sumit, who wouldn't want that?

NOOO, our good times with the grunts

have fun in your time off dude

DMR > BR DMR is a 1 shot weapon, and i prefer that then having a burst, especially with no bloom, DMR feels much better.

no, im just saying that with age you spot things in other players and yourself which younger people might not.

Plus have a a big fanbase as them...of millions and millions.......Cod > Halo fanbase wise.

If you want to play halo 2 online, just use xbox connect, since that is what everyone is using to play online.....

nah, let every game keep their weapons to themselves. start mixing them, and some people could be furious due to hardcore fans etc...

Just let Anonymous deal with it, as, it looks like they are going to take action.

Entry #9, Where i teach you how to become a better halo player, cause that is what we all want, to improve, to become the best! 1. Asylum - Workthrough Im going to give a workthrough of Asylum, & how to prosper properly and the easiest way to get kills. so, obviously we have the starting points here If you want sniper, you go across Red Turret (Jet Pack in MLG) and get the sniper, if you want to go through rocks and go up carbine, you go across Red DMR, if you just want to go straight through to the middle, you just go down red ramp, i'd recommend 2 go red DMR and 2 go Red turret, but only 1 picks up sniper, because, then you can 2 people at each sides, and 1 person will have power weapons, so he should be able to save his teammates with his sniper, i will only go over the important parts, not stuff like carbine, i may make a separate post, but if i go over EVERY thing, then most of this entry will be just this, so i will go over 2 things. This place is arguably the most important: You HAVE to keep control of the middle (Ring), because, it is the central place, and you can control where they spawn and you can put shots in them no matter where they spawn, because, spawns are always exposed near the middle, and, you can at least get shots for your teammate to clear up on the enemies, so, they are guaranteed kills if you can mostly keep ring 2, ring 1 isn't so important, since, if you have ring 2, you can shoot down, this also applies to ring 3, where you can shoot up, plus you can go to carbine (platforms on the left) and shoot them there. The Rings are arguably the most important because it is central control, if you can control it succesfully, you can EASILY win the game. i may make a part 2 for this with the rest, but, for now, this is it and all you need to know to win a game in team slayer or any playlist for that matter, just, keep control of the middle and move around the carbines. 2. How to use Sprint / Evade Effectively Sprint / Evade are arguably the 2 best AL's in the game, and im gonna teach you how to use them effectively. Sprint You can use sprint for basically anything, and, it is really effective for chasing players, because, they will most likely use their sprint to run away, if you wait a bit longer and don't use sprint for chasing them, and then sprint when you are like, a metre ahead of them when they sprinted, then you sprint, you should be able to catch him easily and pick up the easy kill, since most people run away because they have no shields, also, sprint is efficent because you can catch up with ANYONE, even if they are like way ahead of you, if you use sprint, you can, for example, catch up to the flag guy and kill him easily. Sprint is arguably the best AL, because, it can do so much, it can make you jump further, scare other players into thinking your going to push into him, and get you out of really hard situations. Evade Out of all of them, i love evade, evade for me, is the Best AL, because, it is so overpowered, you can evade out of a DMR battle, evade back, and win the battle, because he won't be expecting it, also, you can get out of ANY situation like sprint, but can actully fully get out of it if done correctly, and they won't be able to chase you because you will be so far ahead. Also, rockets + evade = Godly because you can kill ANYONE with Rockets + Evade, because you can get close enough, rocket, evade back, health, evade forward, rocket, you get me? And lets be serious, who wouldn't want to use evade for this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y74dkZRxa0s 3. Breaks During Halo Now i know, there are obvious answers for doing this (Eyesight, Tiredness etc), but, even if your none of them, just do it anyway, because, i notice when i don't take a break, my gameplay begins to get worse and worse, as such, i can get so mad with myself, then, just take 10 minutes to cool off, perhaps read a book, do some homework / coursework, go and get a drink, just stay away from games, because, you will just get more mad until you will do something stupid and will then regret it, i get, so mad with starcraft sometimes, because, i know i should be improving, but, i just need 10 minutes, them im ok and im ready to game again, and that's how it should be. Even if you don't get mad over it, just take a break anyway, because, in some way, you will be mad regardless and it will show in little forms, taking a break is always good since it calms your mind and calms you down in general, it lets the chemicals go away so you won't do anything drastic, because, that's all anger is. Chemicals. let them go back down, then go back to playing, i guess you can say this for anything, IE, if you're a football player, play for a bit, break, play for a bit, break, it doesn't just happen in gaming guys, it happens in EVERY sport all of the time. 4. Age / Maturity affecting Gameplay? now i know, this may sound pretty weird or pretty obvious, but im going to explain it anyway. Imagine, been a 9 year old kid, just, enjoying the game, and just playing it for fun, and just wanting to get kills, he will simply, just charge in, he may get 1 kill or 2 kills, but then he will just die, since he wouldn't pull back to wait for his teammates, and he would just get teamed. Now, imagine been a 16 year old kid, again, enjoying the game, but wanting to improve, and obviously wanting to get kills. he will also charge in, but not as much, he gives himself room so he can pull back, he may again, get 1 or 2 kills, but he may realise that he has low health, so he pulls back and gets his teammates' support and regains his health. Two different stories, two different ages, why? well, as you can see. The older and more mature you can get, you begin to see the game in different perspectives, not just from a "Good Multiplayer, play for fun" to practically the same, but you also will want to improve at the same time. This leads to you seeing things that younger people don't, because, they are simply not looking for them, as i said, the 16 year old didn't push up as much, so, he had room to run away, the 9 year old didn't, because he just wanted to get in the other players' base and get kills, so, he got himself in a death trap, the older boy got the same amount of kills, but also lived, which is the most important. Life > Everything in halo, and IRL too. Everyone wants the same thing, to get kills and have fun, but, the older you get, the more you want to get better, so you look for things other people wouldn't, try to pull them off successfully, and, keep repeating, unlike the younger, who, as i said in the start, enjoy it, and just want to get kills. 5. Team of 4? Or just been by yourself? There are many reasons for both of these, i will list them here. Team of 4 1. Play with friends, much more fun. 2. Doin't get people who may not be as good as you. 3. Can have a laugh with your friends while playing 4. Can keep their momentum up and they all react to that, making you play better. 5. Seem much more scary being a team of 4 then a single person. By Yourself: 1. Could meet new people who could then be future TO4 with you. (TO4 = Team of 4) 2. Learn things from other random players you wouldn't from your friends 3. Try new things as your not with friends so you don't have to play a specific role 4. Again, have a laugh 5. Not such an urge to impress as you would with your friends. Now, i know most people would say (Team of 4 obviously, i want to play with my friends and enjoy it, but no, that's not always true, they both bring different things to the table, hence, why you have to play with a TO4, and by yourself, since, you can get the most out of both, and become a much better player as you will learn both things from playing both sides of the team format, i always play both, so i can get a good idea. I hope you enjoyed this entry, and i hope you enjoy entry #10 Entry 10: SPECIAL: My life of halo up to this point, how i began, learnt, and improved up to this point. (2001 - 2011) Hope you enjoy it!

they could, but, then when halo 3 goes offline people will want an arcade version of that too. so, for now, they should just stick with Halo 1.

Do you still feel that way with 85% bloom? because for me, it feels fine, it definitely feels that luck element has been taken out of it.

it should of always been on the PC...... Xbox for RTS = no.

haha, 350+ posts later..... I never did one either, but it'd be quite awkward if i did one now. Anyways, welcome! Wow, Trusted already?

well, if there wasn't a cap, people would just **** firefight and get inheritor way easier then they can now.

you know its going down when Anonymous post a video.

they should just like, allow you to find like hidden easter eggs in various maps and stuff like that, i don't know they'd do it, but they'd have to find a way. it should be 400 for extra slots otherwise....800 is too much.

I think the strafe still feels pretty good, so, all they need to do is change the jump height, the height is pretty poor, they only need to change it a little bit though, too much & its too high.
