got more ?'s some of you guys may know the answer to...
1. how do you get the lines around the arms and leg of your character? I've seen them on a few pictures and don't know where the options for that are in settings.
2. Friend of mine has a samurai sword on his profile picture that he is wearing on his back on the service record... wtf is going on there? You obviously can't use that in the mp so don't get it...other than the fact that it is there to make ppl like me go "how the fuck did he get a sword on his profile pic?" I'm just curious...
o...figured someone would mention google'n it...and those people can go to hell...
not a bad idea though 10/10/2007 4:56:34 PM |
ThePeter TWW CHAMPION 37709 Posts user info edit post |
1. Don't know what lines you're talking about, but its probably a color option in the appearance settings. There's one color that your armor will always have on it.
2. That's the chest piece of the Hayabusa armor set...I don't know how to get it cause I'm not concerned with armor at all, except maybe the rogue helmet. It doesn't do anything other than look cool, although I'm curious what happens if it gets shot as far as damaging or not.
I've heard that your guy takes the sword out if you get a killing spree, but I might've misunderstood him. 10/10/2007 5:04:45 PM |

picture of red guy w/ white "lines" showing off the wolf emblem on pg. 20
those are the lines I was talking about...I tried playing around w/ the appearance and couldn't get the lines to show up...and the lines in this pic have "VI" in them as well
^x that said the sword was the chest piece on the Hayabusa armor set...it isn't...I have the chest piece and I don't have to sword...not a big deal, just couldn't figure out how the hell he got that shit

The sword is something you get after you find all the skulls in the campaign, turn them on, replay the campaign for points and get a 1000/1000. It serves no purpose as far as gameplay goes, but it looks cool i guess. The IV on the armor in the picture is specific to that armor which is called 'mark IV'.

Word is, Arenas has already played an early copy of 08 and is contributing feedback on the direction of the series." |

So how is the campaign in this game? I'd only ever end up playing the campaign, not MP. I wasn't impressed with Halo 2, so how does 3 stack up to 1 & 2 campaign-wise?

For page 23 http://lionhart.us/halo3/
I liked the campaign for Halo 3 a lot, it was pretty fun with a good story and challenging at times. Meleeing the enemy is a lot friendlier than previous games, especially halo 2 legendary where going into melee range of elites was suicide unless you had a shotgun. I can't compare to Halo 1 since I never owned that game, only played at the rec center on coop with a friend.
^^LOL at Agent Arenas, he's doing something bad I'm sure, he's a grade 1 colonel but all his recent games are social doubles against some recruit IM YO PUSHA and his guest

what's your gamer tag?
its hard to say what makes a skill up, but winning is the basic answer. I've climbed faster in rank than my friend of a slightly higher level when we played the same games. You can also get multiple skill ups from completely owning the other team, or if they were higher than you in level. 10/11/2007 2:17:42 PM |

Quote : | "Is Gilbert Cheating at Halo?
You thought Bill Belichick was bad? Just wait.
I was first alerted to this budding scandal via Reader Eli, who wrote with the tales of Gilbert's Halo3 adventures. Using one of his three gamer tags (Agent Arenas is one), he'll start a two-on-two "social" game with a friend, each using a phony teammate. Once the game starts, the two phony players are eliminated, and the real players take turns beating up each other to drive up their experience points.
"I love Gil," Eli wrote, "and it's almost laughable what he's doing."
Threads concerning the matter popped up at Bungie.net and IGN.com, with the response mostly anti-Gil.
"Your stats obviously show what a joke you are. I'd be so friggin embarrassed if I was him," GreenYoshiJosh wrote.
"what a loser...... why waste ure time doing that..." Leprechaun007 wrote.
"I want to write an email to ESPN and see if they put this PTI or something," wrote MC187, who discovered the scam.
(Tell me again how I don't do real reporting.)
Anyhow, like any good reporter, I went to Gilbert to get his response.
"Gilbert," I said, approximately, "people say you're cheating at Halo 3."
"I'm cheating?" he said. "How am I cheating?"
"Gilbert," I asked, approximately," are you creating dummy games with two fake friends and using the wins to rack up experience points?"
"Yeah," he said, laughing. "Yeah."
Sigh.
"It's a glitch," he explained. "It's a glitch in the game. I seen some kids that were like 600s, they won 600 Halo games and we only had that game for two weeks. And all the kids go to school. So I'm like, 'What the hell you all doing?' And they said that's what they doing, two-on-two."
I don't play video games, and feel free to correct me, but let me try to explain, via Gilbert. The highest rank you can get in the game is 50 out of 50, and such rankings come from serious competition. But you can also rack up experience points through "social" games that don't affect your actual ranking, and hence, the scam. Gilbert said he three accounts have actual rankings of 42, 45 and 47, but that these freebie experience points can drive up your title from commander to major and double major and triple major and so on.
He said there are other Halo scams that he doesn't know how to pull off; one he described as "lagging," where kids somehow freeze you out of the game and then kill your helpless character.
"They go around killing you and get the win every time; there's people who've played the game 200 times and have 200 wins," he said. "People do that and they don't get complaints," Gilbert said. "But if I go two-on-two to get experience points?"
He said he just discovered the trick last night with a buddy, and that they did it about 25 times. He said usually he plays with the kids from his own team, Final Boss. And he scoffed at the suggestion that he was doing this to compensate for below-average gaming skills.
"That has nothing to do with me playing against other people, because when I play against other people I'm a 47 out of 50," he argued. "It has nothing to do with your [skill]. That's just like me playing basketball and I say, 'The first one to 100,000 shots...' and I go in there and say 'Yeah, I made 100,000, I won.' But when you go out there you can't shoot the ball."
In other words, his argument is that he can shoot the ball, so any trickeration should be forgiven. But now that he'd been called out, I suggested, he wouldn't keep pulling the scam, right?
"Why not?" he said. "I mean, who is it hurting? It's two dummy players playing against each other. It's not messing with anybody. I have my friend, it'll be him and his fake friend, me and my fake friend, we'll take turns losing back and forth. There's nobody involved. I can see if we were playing against other people, [but] it's not ranked games, it's social games. So that's the messed-up part. You can win things off of social, when you shouldn't [be allowed] to. All you have to do is do what we're doing. I guarantee everybody's doing it. I mean, how would they know anyway?"
Which is how I soon found myself on a nearby computer, watching an NBA All-Star and MVP candidate read video game message board threads on something called "Bungie.net," cackling at all the outraged comments from people named "Godofdarksouls" and "HydrogIsBack."
"They want to put this on PTI?" he said. "How do I reply?" he asked me. "I want to reply."
But then Coach Eddie Jordan showed up; "C'mon, GA, let's go watch tape," Eddie said.
To be continued, I guess. " |
