You can ask ferill how good I am at driving a tank, I can shoot a banshee with its big gun at almost any range!

oddguy 02-07-2004 10:42 AM

I can't wait to play you guys on Halo 2 with Xbox Live! It'll be insane!

i know your good mate, but anyone can do that.

oddguy 02-07-2004 10:52 AM

Just beat Halo. How do you get to see Red vs. Blue? I thought it was at the end.

-oddguy :fuzcool:

Fez 02-07-2004 10:54 AM

nope. Red vs Blue is a online series. Its put together really well, and its very funny.

www.redvsblue.com

they only have a few episodes up at the mo as they are starting series 2. But they have some links that let you download episodes 1-19.

Fez 02-07-2004 11:32 AM

Lucipher 02-07-2004 11:44 AM

I bet you wont survive in that thing without me in a ghost.

Meh, it's piss-easy.

Lucipher 02-07-2004 12:06 PM

SILENCE FOOL! KEEP OUT OF THIS!

oddguy 02-07-2004 02:36 PM

Red vs. Blue! :lol: Mighty funny stuff. I'd seen episode 1 before...just saw episodes 3-5 since RVB.com had it in their archive.

Oh, Lucipher and feril...what is your guys' relationship? Brothers, friends?

-oddguy :fuzcool:

Fez 02-08-2004 12:29 AM

Oh I cant wait, until fall of next year. I was looking forward for a summer release, so I could get even better with my skills for it, and on Halo 2 maps, new features etc. But I guess I'll just have to start playing the first one a lot more again. :fuzsmile:

Fez 02-08-2004 08:02 AM

we should start organising teams. I call Al, MC and Death for our team!

Hobo 02-08-2004 09:32 AM

I call someone else pays for my XBOX live!

oddguy 02-08-2004 01:04 PM

I don't exactly have Xbox Live...yet. I'm planning on getting it with Halo 2.

Man that would be an ultimate line up and great group of people. I am trying to be more of a team player, unlike previous times in the past where no one else was trying to work together so I went off to fight the other team alone. Usually beating them, but in the end its a bit unsatisfying when your team mates dont really get to enjoy the win.

oddguy 02-08-2004 04:24 PM

Orginizing teams would be awesome! We could have captains and all that lame stuff. Let's get started! :fuzgrin: Who wants me on their team?

*silence*

Damn! :fuzmad:

Esus 02-09-2004 07:16 AM

Clans are good, you're very right, and many clans completely thrash the hell out of team games because they are oraganised, have precise strategies and can thus play brilliantly with each other.

Fez 02-09-2004 10:00 AM

right. our team is as follows...

Al = leader, i find him the most responsible.
Me = shock, i'm best with shock weapons such as shotgun and plasma rifle
Death = sniper, cause hes good at sniping. He owns a PSG1 for gods sake!
MC = the mad man who gets tons of kills. Need i say more.
Hobo = the old dumbfart in the corner who does nothing, but is good to have on the team for moral.

That sounds awesome. I guess since we wont be able to play Halo 2 yet on Live, I should get Halo PC to hold me over, and try and get good at that also, while still brushing up on Halo for Xbox. It would be awesome to play with you guys though! :fuzsmile:

Pfft yeah right....

Fez 02-10-2004 08:03 AM

again just trying to mkae you feel important. Hobo.

SeaRex 02-10-2004 11:17 AM

Don't worry, hobo. You can be on my team. We'll take our lack of skill and go elsewhere!

We can be the be the comic relief duo of the forums. :D

Ah yes. I do look forward to getting owned by all of you. It will be soopah excellent. I'm friggin' goddawful at Halo, but the forum matches will be an absolute blast... whether we're on the same team or not!

Oh beleive me, you don't need to make Hobo feel important. He gets that automatically from seeing his "moderator" title every time he sees one of his posts. :rolleyes:

I really am going to have to get myself an XBOX and XBOX live. I never even thought about the console until ferill suggested that team idea. I think that would be pretty fun.

Although I consider it camping, I see sniper cover as a very important part of any kind of offensive.

Usually I take up the role of sniper in most co-ops. I get my friend to drive the warthog or tank, and get him to drop me off some 100 to 200 meters away from all the enemies. Then I support him as he drives in. Usually from on top of a hill.

Truth and Reconcilliation is where it usually all goes wrong. Because you both get given sniper rifles. Naturally, my friend usually choses to go off and be a jerk/get killed, so I unfortunately never get the chance to support him with cover fire. My plan is always to use one of the two characters as extra ammo, whereby the active character kills the ammo character to retrieve more rounds. But again, naturally, my friend just gets all silly about it and starts killing me for killing him.

Xavier 02-10-2004 11:22 AM

for your Xbox Live Halo2 Team, count me in... I'm maybe not the best Halo player, but I sure have some skills. I'm more the Sniper Type.

Don't you hate it when people complain about camping too much? I mean, it's one thing if you're most of your team stays locked up in an annoying little niche in a level, but if you're only providing covering fire for a teammate, than I fail to see the problem. It's called "teamwork," not "camping."

Snipers get a bad reputation because of all the spawn-camping (which I DO have a problem with) morons out there. The sniper, especially when he constantly shift positions to help his team, is a crucial element in almost all online FPSs.

End rabble. Anyone know what I mean?

EDIT: Personally, I try to serve as a companion for an equally/more skilled player. You know... watch his backside, branch off in another direction if an ambush is called for, or provide covering fire when he's in a tight spot. I'll only snipe occasionally. I find this method usually results in more kills and less deaths for the both players than if one player went in for CQC, and the other sniped. (unless the sniper is extremely attentive)

Count me in, too. Curse you Bungie for taking your time to make one of the best games ever! :fuzwink:
