Ahhh... I'm so sorry guys. I lost power for about an hour and a half.
I have a laptop but the my internet connection needs power to work. :( :( :mad: :mad:

I'm so sorry.

If anyone is still interested I'm starting a game at 9:30 EDT.

hey no problem it happens. Weather has been freaky all over the U.S., cant control it nor the power company. I may try for that 930pm slot...
 
Some informal tracking sounds like fun--to track personal progress, and for bragging rights, and to draw attention to what people missed who didn't make time for the game :) Like me :(

One method would be to just post a scoreboard screenshot.
 
awww I think you guys play the higher version of Halo than me:mad: I play version 1.02 and I'm guessing you guys 1.06 or 1.07. aww o well. Yeah and when some1 host they do have a very big advantage over every1. Cuz say u have a ping of like 67, thats good but it doesn't compare to host who has 0. Host should always win. If you don't win as host then that just means u suck to be honest. Halo isn't too hard to get good at when you play a lot online and beat the game on Legendary. Just remember 3 shot to the head with pistol is dead, 1 shot to head with snipe is dead, and always try and do combos. Like a gernade then pistol, or shotgun or plasma pistol then melee.

Yeah and for the xblaze thing its kinda not worth having cuz 1. at the moment Adium X does not support audio or video chat. And thats the main point of xfire....to talk to people when u play but with xblaze u can't. If any of u do play version 1.02 well I said it already but my name is {BTK}Bassy (BTK is a clan):)
 
Good advice on combs.

But I'll chime in and say that 67/1000ths of a second (1/15 of a second), while not irrelevant, is far from the difference between "sucking" and "winning." The ping advantage isn't quite THAT big :p

The ping advantage is one of numerous factors, from your mouse to your display to your framerate to your state of mind at the moment. Your skill level being of much greater importance than all of those generally.

Similarly, someone with 67 ping won't always beat someone with twice that. There's always variation in ping between players, but it's possible to win even so.

Yeah of course. I win against host all the time. But what I mean is if you have a decent host even if your really good the host still has an advantage on you. So when I say when the host doesn't win on his own server it doesn't means he sux but it means he should win. But becuz he didn't it means that if was in another server without advantage he'll do even worse. Get my point? Its like the people in the clan I'm in are all good. When we play in other servers together 1 of us beats the other and vice versa. But when 1 of us host, becuz they're already good without advantage, when they have host advantage they are likely to win. So take lancestraz as an example. He sounds like a good player, and I'm sure he is. But I bet he doesn't win as much as he does on other servers as his. So he might be good already but with host advantage he's likely to do even better by a lot being he has 0.:) Does this make sense?
 
Yes.

(And "combs" refers to when you launch a grenade and then really quickly switch to styling your hair.)

Why dont you upgrade to 1.07? The more people we get the bigger maps we could play on. Honestly, I never play chiron that was downright funny for me, last night. It was like err where is everything?

heehee. chiron is the greatest esp with no sheids and shotties. those gametypes are the ones that make me scream in horror when all of a sudden an enemy pops out of a teleporter you are runnning towards. it happens so many times too. that map scares me and i like it. :D

yeah I would so I could show u all a few tricks:D but my CD key is for 1.02. And I'm probably gonna install Halo 2 Vista on my Intel Mac so no biggy. And I enjoy the friends I play with in the clan. I would have but I've just become a regular in version 1.02, so like a lot of people know me and I know all the good people and I like knowing that. If I do find a crack for version 1.07 I probs still wont cuz I'll have to build up my rep all over again. Although with my skill I could probs do it fast and get to know who the good people are fast:D lol. so no1 plays 1.02 I take it. O well. Any1 getting Halo 2 Vista? I know we all have Macs but come on its HALO 2!!! lol get a pirate copy of Vista and get it lol. I'm just lucky enough a friend of mine works in IT.:p

Ah ha. That's why you kept giving me the flag! Ha ha. I thought you where in some sort of killing frenzy and couldn't stand to cary around a sissy flag.

Oh, yeah. I have a question for you guys. When you're playing Halo and a ghost starts attacking you, does your mouse slow down?
Mine does and it's really annoying.
This hasn't happen just once either. It happens all the time on any server.
