Re: Halo: Reach (Potential Spoilers)

Yes, join us, join ussssssssssssssssssssss.

Btw, Flaw, that's the Quit Ban, it's to deter people from quitting. Quitting ruins the experience for everyone, more so your teammates than the enemy, but it still affects them as well.

But I don't think the system is smart enough to recognize quitting on purpose versus disconnections and lag-drops.

Hopefully this'll get fixed in the October patch.

It's only a 15 minute ban, anyway.

True, it takes 15 minutes to search for a game anyway. I hate Moderate NAT.

I need to play Infection, i heard it's rather swell.

by Evangel Fri Oct 01, 2010 1:03 pm

Infection's always been fun, I just can't wait until the Infection-specific maps start getting added to MM. I thoroughly enjoyed the x2 EXP Infection Weekends on Halo 3. The maps were totally awesomesauce.

Hmm... there may be a chance I wont be able to make it

Don't work at all next week....
First off: FFFF-
Second: YAY. <3

In somewhat related news: ...infection? They actually have a playlist for infection?!

by Evangel Sat Oct 02, 2010 5:08 am

Not in Reach, it's in Rumble Pit (Free-For-All). There's two variants, normal Infection and Safe Havens. I like Safe Havens more because it adds a little more fun to the action.

In Halo 3 they have Double EXP Weekends, a playlist of it's own. One of which is an Infection-themed playlist with about a dozen different gametype variants, and maps molded specifically for Infection games. I'm just hoping that unique maps will start getting added for Infection.

P.S. Infection on Zealot is annoying. Humans camp up top in the Low-Grav area and easily pick off Zombies. It's annoying because they're camping like little -blam!-. (-blam!- is how filtered words are censored on Bungie.net) If the Zombies are organized, they can rush them and take them out, but most of the time they're randoms.

Then would you mind accepting my friend invite? Dx

by Evangel Sun Oct 03, 2010 6:38 am

Speaking of which, I need to send out friend invites.

Also, if Zerato is attending, he needs to post or PM his GT. Ibibio, too.

~~AoG, are those just plain spaces in your GT?~~

I'm making a pirate ship. :D

My upstream bandwidth went from "average" to "WARNING" overnight.

I can still play, but I'll disconnect every (what is probably) 10 minutes.

It's super lame, if anyone knows how to fix it, it's much appreciated.

by Evangel Sun Oct 03, 2010 3:00 pm

Mine's also in the red but I have no trouble staying connected. It has been like this ever since I got it.

If anything it is your actual hardware. How is your network setup?

Cable Box > Router > Computer and XBox?

by **Flaw of Insanity** Sun Oct 03, 2010 3:06 pm

Internet > Modem > Xbox and Computer.

I'm going to punch something at this rate.

by Evangel Sun Oct 03, 2010 3:09 pm

It might be your computer drawing more bandwith than your XBox.

Try disconnecting your computer from the internet and then check your connection in-game.

If that doesn't help at least stopping the disconnects, then it might be your hardware. Old or just plain poor quality.

by **Flaw of Insanity** Sun Oct 03, 2010 3:16 pm

Probably old, my Xbox has been freezing recently. But it's always had disconnecting problems.

by Evangel Sun Oct 03, 2010 3:16 pm

How old? (XBox, Modem, Computer, even your ethernet wires)

by **Flaw of Insanity** Sun Oct 03, 2010 3:28 pm

Modem, Xbox, and Computer. Failset

by Angel of Grief Sun Oct 03, 2010 3:43 pm

...so when are we doing this?
D:
(like, what time today...)

by **Flaw of Insanity** Sun Oct 03, 2010 3:45 pm

*looks at computer clock*
In 14 hours and 15 minutes.

by Evangel Sun Oct 03, 2010 3:49 pm

Same time as AQW Cons, 7pm EST.

by **Flaw of Insanity** Sun Oct 03, 2010 4:15 pm

Played a game of Team Slayer, disconnected as the game ended.

Not bad considering I hadn't disconnected in about half a hour. I think my net's fixing itself. Should be fine tomorrow.
