It's frickin' annoying is what it is.

After playing several other Live games and then coming back to Halo 2, it's just like... could they make this game any more unbalanced? It just becomes overly frustrating and plain annoying. Even when you're winning. Everything seems to happen in slow motion as well. The game is so damn slow.

My friend and I played a bunch of Team Training games recently, and that was OK, simply because we just killed the other team in lieu of pursuing the objectives. That coupled with the fact that our other two teammates left pretty much every game (leaving a 2 v. 4 goof-off fest-o-rama) made it relatively entertaining, but beyond that, I've simply had a lousy time playing Halo 2... Live, LAN parties, you name it. It's just so... slow.

Anywho, that's just my little rant on H2. I may have to check out the new(er) maps that are coming out just for shits and giggles, though.

Comcast or any other Cable and/or T1 connection ppssible is the best, I had DSL before and the difference in speed and connection is exponential.

Oddworld90 06-17-2005 07:09 AM

Ok I Thanks am changing to Telewest I think.

Godlesswanderer 07-21-2005 06:26 PM

w00t!!! After almost a year of trying to get on Xbox Live, I have finally succeeded!

My gamertag is Godlesswanderer. I know, boring isn't it?

And I play, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and any other game I have that's Xbox Live Compatible. In other words, I don't know yet.

Leto 07-21-2005 06:50 PM

Get Timesplitters: Future Perfect and DooM³, or we will assassinate you. :)

My gamertag is ThooperMunch, I'll add you the next time I'm on...

Godlesswanderer 07-21-2005 06:56 PM

I already have Timesplitters: Future Perfect. So, we can play that. Yay!

I used to have Doom 3 but every copy I got (I had to take it back numerous times) didn't work, so I had to get my money back.

:

and on actual missions, it's too easy for the spies...

Now that I've actually played Chaos Theory, I find it is (almost) always a lot easier for mercenaries. Almost every time I'm a merc (with another merc), I win. Almost every time I'm a spy, I lose.

Although the 'Aquarius' level makes it equally easy for either team.

Recently got Conker, does anyone else play?

memememememememe!

Tip: If you use sneaker alot, get 500 backstabs ASAP. The instant detonating sneeker is extremely useful.

Cyber-Slig 07-22-2005 03:47 PM

I'm a demolisher man, not a puny sneeker. Fancy a match on Conker?

Al the Vykker 07-23-2005 07:03 AM

Anybody still playing Halo 2? I don't really want to play unless I start playing again unless some people I know do. Cuz I'd like to just have a match for fun custom etc and have a huge forum battle. :)

Cyber-Slig 07-23-2005 08:46 AM

I HATE Halo 2. I literally feel insulted when I'm invited to play it now. It's a boring FPS game with barely any sound, and a simple set-up. I don't see how people can play it all day :/.

used:) 07-23-2005 09:01 AM

I know, everyone makes it sound SO cool, but I don't think it's the best game out there.

Coolmanbizkit 07-23-2005 02:26 PM

Halo 2 is soo, meh. Timesplitters: Future Perfect rules. And DooM³. I've heard some good things about Conker also.

But get Timesplitters, it is a sure fire crowd pleaser. :D

I already got it :p, Have you? If so ill try and give you a game later? :p

Leto 07-23-2005 03:01 PM

Sure, but if you're the same timezone as Rich, you're 13 hours out from me. XP So I'll probably be on later tonight, your morning. My gamertag is ThooperMunch.

Cyber-Slig 07-23-2005 04:16 PM

I got Timesplitters, as do a shit-load of my friends. We could have a huge match one day.

How can people play Halo 2 all day? Answer: It rocks your socks.

I don't put much time into Xbox Live these days. GTA: SA is the likely reason I guess, and Stranger's Wrath before it.

I will totally revisit the live action when I buy Chaos Theory, but that could be a ways off. I don't want to save up for a car, but me needs one.

I've already sent you a friend request.

If you're a bit confused, Coolmanbizkit = my brother.
Him using his brother's account = he's using my account :)

Cyber-Slig 07-24-2005 07:16 AM

Err.. Godless, why'd you decline my friend request?

Godlesswanderer 07-24-2005 02:45 PM

:

Sorry, my brother (coolmanbizkit) has been using my xbox live account and I told him not to add people and to decline people who add him. I just assumed you was someone that's been playing Chaos Theory with him, so I declined it. Send another request and I'll accept.

Cyber-Slig 07-24-2005 02:55 PM

Right, the name is Covenant Killa7, I assume you got the request already. In side-note, anyone else with Conker? It's pretty quiet with just me and sligster in some random game :/.

It makes me cry at night :crying:

Godlesswanderer 07-24-2005 05:13 PM

Assuming I don't use my money to buy *insert herbal illegal drug here* ;), I'll probably get Conker some time in the next few weeks.

Dark Elite_H2 07-24-2005 05:25 PM

I have Xbox live. If yeh want to catch'a game wit' me, Xacxon is the name. (NOTE:I'll play Halo 2 or MechAssault)

Cyber-Slig 07-24-2005 06:19 PM

Halo 2? Oh, not another one :( . I'll add you anyway, I hate it when people just play Halo 2 all day though.

Dark Elite_H2 07-24-2005 06:32 PM

Ehh...not ever since I got's a new copy of MechAssault. Halo 2's gettin' borin' really fast.

Godlesswanderer 07-25-2005 07:36 AM

If you mean MechAssault 2, I have that so I may be able to play that with you sometime. If not, I wont :).

Cyber-Slig 07-25-2005 10:11 AM

I got Mechassault 2 aswell, really boring now tohugh.

Godlesswanderer 07-25-2005 11:24 AM

I've never played it online. For some reason the disc doesn't work in my Xbox (although it worked before).

Dark Elite_H2 07-25-2005 11:43 AM

I mean both, Godless. I have both, but I'll play Mech 2

Godlesswanderer 07-25-2005 02:24 PM

Cyber-Slig, you just sent an invite to play Halo 2. Well, the thing is, I don't have Halo 2 :).

Cyber-Slig 07-25-2005 03:37 PM

Right, I'll go on Splinter Cell.

@Dark_Elite_H2 : What the hell was up with you? You started making fun of British people and left.

Dark Elite_H2 07-25-2005 05:30 PM

I didn't make fun of you. My guest was! I don't have any problems with british/irsih people! In fact, I was raised with British parents, in Brrtain! :D

the brew master 08-07-2005 02:49 AM

Should be getting new internet and XBL in the next week or so,Gamer Tag'll probably be The_Brew_Master...

Games:

Halo 2
Splinter Cell:Chaos Theory
Conker:Live and Reloaded

more to come...

Cyber-Slig 08-07-2005 07:41 PM

So you got your super, duper connection? 'Bout time!

Godlesswanderer 09-17-2005 07:16 AM

Any of you guys that I was playing Chaos Theory with you will have noticed (or not) that I havn't been playing in months. The main reason being that my Xbox seems to have conked out and refuses to play any games, regardless of whether they are newly bought or not.

So now I'm hoping to god that because the Xbox360 is back compatible, it can also play Xbox games on XBL. Unfortunately, I've got to wait till 2nd Dec to find out.

Just make sure you get the one with the hard drive! :p

I'm sure a game that's as popular as SC:CT will be ready to go on the XB360 as soon as it's released; you probably won't even have to wait for a patch or anything.

Cyber-Slig 09-17-2005 03:51 PM

Sadly, I can't see many great games on 360 on release. Possession interests me, but from the sounds of it, it's a load of shite.

Godless, get the Deluxe 360 pack. It's an extra £60, and gives you a backward compatability pack and Xbox Live, among other things. Which is good, because there's a few Xbox 1 games coming out before release (King Kong, Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes, Land of the Dead, Star Wars Battlefront 2)
