You haven't played it yet!? Damn, you're missing out. Nothing beats a Halo LAN party with 16 people on 4 Xboxes .... ooooh yeah that's hot fun. :)

[Arts_1_8t]

16 people, 4 xboxes, 4 tv's and everybody yelling at you cuz you just went on a killing spree!!!

"kill-tacular!!!"

no shields, pistols and nades only...ohhh what fun!!!

I haven't played much in a while, but at my prime, I could be sniping on Boarding Action and be watching the other side and frustrate the hell out of people because I was good at timing my shots to when they jump. See, they had this crazy idea that if they jumped, I would miss; yeah well that didn't quite work out so well for them. :p

i played awhile back with a friend of mine, 1 vs 1, omg the destruction i layed down...he didn't know the pistol was so powerful...aim high baby!!! back when halo first came out...we got busted by our manager...it was after work and we wanted to play...we got really loud and that killed it for us...LOL!!! we couldn't play during lunch only after work, after he left. but after awhile the manager joined us. and let the ownage begin!!! just remember in CQB's melee!!! and throw a nade...LOL!!! you'll kill after being dead...its the best!!!

oh yeah...the rocket launcher can be your friend and foe...TOO LOW!!! when being chased by 2 or more people...aim at the feet, splatter damage, and you might kill yourself in the process

One day we took the afternoon off at my office and I brought my Xbox in and we played some games. Mostly racing or sports games, no one was up to playing Halo against me, heh.

The most fun I ever had playing was when a friend of mine's sister worked at the Mira Mesa Edwards 18 theaters. Well, she got us in there and we were able to play on the 50-foot digital projection screen ... you'd be surprised by the range of wireless controllers, heh.

omg the destruction i layed down...

My son put money down on one months ago. He LOVES Halo. :rolleyes:

[xKingSizex]

I put my down payment on the Limited Edition Halo 2 last week! It's been awhile since I've played the original.

So maybe we should do a LAN for HALO GTG!

We could do that, or we can just post up a date and time to have a Halo 2 Online tournament via Xbox Live :)

[intricate976]

I dont know but my special edition crystal green halo xbox is waiting for halo 2 to come out....anyone play via XBConnect?

[creanium]

I tried but it was too laggy for me to even tolerate so I haven't played for a while.

[Arts_1_8t]

ownage is like riding a bike...once you get started it gets easier as it goes...im not good with analogies. LOL!!!

I got rid of my Xbox Live, didn't renew my subscription. I was actually a beta tester for the system, so I got the limited headphone case and keychain memory card and t-shirt. I just wasn't playing that much because not too many people I knew had it, only a couple and they didn't play much.

[creanium]

Lol ... I was a beta tester as well and I have all those goodies too.

[Arts_1_8t]

[FunkTron]

oh wow!
im jealous!
always kinda wondered why your title was "videogamer".

guess that answers that. =)

its not as fun as you think...8 hours a day staring at a tv at the same thing over and over again...looking for flaws in a game...and you work with a bunch of dudes some of them smell...once a game goes beta or final...work goes into high gear...no life for a couple of weeks, 5 days turns into 6 or 7 days a week, working till the wee hours of the morning, or from 9am to 9pm...not seeing the day of light...loss of life...a girlfriend or some sort of relationship...very tough to have. paychecks during this time are the best...the most i've worked in 2 weeks, about 221 hours...oh and sometimes, you get to go off site, china, england, chicago, seattle, utah, where ever the developers are, you get paid $50/day for food only, room's paid for, you get a rental car, and cash advance for one week about $300-$500, i went to chicago once, for 3 weeks, $1500 for the 3 weeks (i think) if the developers are in LA or within driving distance, paided mileage and gas. JUST REMEMBER to save your reciepts!!!

its fun...but if i could goback in time...i would do one thing differently...

...the most i've worked in 2 weeks, about 221 hours...
What's up with with them giving you time to go home and eat?

(In my day, a deathmarch didn't end until people passed out from fatigue. Then we gave them an IV full of Jolt, and strapped their ass back down at a workstation.
That's the way it was, and we LIKED it!)

[evilcaddie]

ohh snaps can't wait for it to come out

[jdub]

finally some competition out there hehehehe

damn Jolt cola...wasn't that just pure sugar high???

[Arts_1_8t]

well we started to smell and a few of us got delierious due to the lack of sleep. we got a couple of days off after that just to recharge the batteries. fun times to be had by all. we found one of our testers passed out in his chair and we grab this industrial saran wrap, the stuff they use to wrap stuff up when you move, well we wrapped his ass to the chair, rolled it outside and set the building alarm off...it was the best!!!

Fighting Games Own Jooo, Fuck Halo!
