Halo2 Multiplayer thread

[Izret101]

Well i got my updates when i first logged on.

I have to say so far they seem pretty god.
Haven't really played enough serious matches to know for sure.

We are (or at least I am) going to have to join some people to get in full 16 player brawls.

[Antimind]

I just played a few serious matches an of course we came out on top The changes really don't seem to be affecting gameplay as much as I initially thought they would. Cept perhaps in fiesta and on Coag when folks are whoring the brute shot.

[Izret101]

I use to use the brute shot alot too though.
All the weapons i use to use alot got bonuses with the exception of rox (who got a lessened splash zone) and magnums (which are now 543532409863290x weaker that in Halo)

[Sauza12]

I didn't know they were going to change the weapons.  I'm going to be on today, so it looks like I'm going to have to do some expiramenting.

Me nick and O Pesha spent most of the night leveling down and had a blast.

We would beat the hell out of people and leave the game when we got to 49 kills...Muwahahahaha


A few games we tried to kill our selves and one game we ended at - 135 kills.
People were pissed

The first thing is OK. Just leaving the game.

I would have beened pissed as well if I playd against you. What fun is that for the other team? I think that is just dumb and rude.

[captain_nintendo]

Your right it is dumb , but its not like we are hurting the other team... In fact they get the win. I just dont see how its rude  :-/ Like I said , your right about it being dumb , but sometimes its fun to do stupid things.  

Did I mention they get the win ?

[captain_nintendo]

And before you can reply to my comments with your point of view again Scott.....


Blow me

No you are not hurting the other team. And yes you are giving the team a lot of Exp. But what fun is that for the other team? People play Halo to have fun. How is that fun for the otehr team?

I agree with doing stupid things is fun. But thats what custom games are for.

I see you are a little touchy about Halo you damn fan boy.

[captain_nintendo]

Naw , just playing with you Scotty......

I dont really care if you were picking on me. Like I said, down ranking is stupid , but It was fun seeing how big a negative number we could reach. And I did let the other team kill me for fun in those games.

Not a total loss of fun for the other team.

If you leave the game at 49 wins (presuming the win is at 50),  it's pretty much a slap in the face to the other team. And really no different than trash talk (which is really annoying and poor gamer etiquette, imo).

If I were the other team, I wouldn't blame them for getting pissed. And even though you give them the win, it still not fun because it's not earned.

I play online becaus I enjoy the competition. Whether I get beaten the hell out of (which is often) or not, I enjoy learning the game and it's strategy. And we learn by playing against people with better skill then our own.

No offense, but I just don't see any benefit to it no matter how much justification is given that they "got the win".

Maybe , but its not like we gave them a hard time or something..... We just left at 49 kills.  

Oh well

In case you haven't heard, the release date of the first 4 new maps (2 free, 2 for $5.99) is this coming Monday, 4/25/05.

Hey Izret, what's the "rox" weapon you mentioned? Is it slang for the rocket launcher?
