Everyone down for Halo 3 tomorrow? Same time (6pm PT, 9pm ET) as last Wednesday, just on Tuesday instead. Once again if that day doesn't work for enough people we will move it. Just let me know yea or nay if you are coming if you can!
I object!

Object to the millions of us central timers being excluded!
Halo 3 huh? Guess I'll have to start it and whatever DLC it had downloading. :)
If it makes you feel better I live in Mountain Time

Just use the ODST multiplayer disc.
An Excellent Suggestion!

Thanks! You saved me a day of downloading! :)

And the Battle Rifle that I can't hit anything with. Maybe years of DMR training will have improved my aim...

Me and Halo 3 aren't having too much fun yet…
by Ragashingo , Official DBO Cryptarch, Tuesday, July 30, 2013, 16:44 (3928 days ago) @ Xenos
Holy hell. People quitting, terrible spawns getting me snipped across the map in an instant, betrayals. Trying to refresh myself on Halo 3 and am only getting angry. Can't wait until 8…
Message me when you get one

Thanks for the games!

Let's see, how to do this… I think I'll end on a positive note, but that means starting here:
I don't like Halo 3 multiplayer. I'd even rather play Halo 4!
Meh. I was going to list off all the reasons, but I hate being negative in general and doubly so when playing with DBO, so let's move on to the fun shall we?
Best game: Neutral bomb on Valhalla. It felt like a big mapped Halo game should. A back and forth struggle that could go on and on like good ole flag at home to score Blood Gulch in Halo 1. My team was pinned for quite a while, had some pretty funny failed attempts at getting to bomb away from our side, but we also played some good defense and stuck it out long enough to break free and score.
Best kill: Flipping the Warthog on Standoff near the missile silo and getting the double kill out of it. I pretty sure Avateur was taunting me at the time (when wasn't he! :P) which made it all the more fun. Close second was Spikenading Avateur on Zanzibar or whatever it's called.
In general I enjoyed killing Avateur whenever I could because of the taunting, and pretty much feared Snipe every time he was on the other team. Despite my dislike of Halo 3's gameplay I did enjoy revisiting all the old maps. Valhalla looks so much better without 343's washed out overly bright sunshine and The Pit has always been one of my favorites. Sticking it out for the win during the laggy game of doom was fun even if I did give up the rocket launcher.
But the best part by far is getting to play with yous guys. I did myself a disservice and played an hour of Halo 3 to warm up, and it's night and day playing with randoms and playing with friends. I may have sucked and died way too much, and been the weakest link, but getting to play with the community made it more than worth it! I totally look forward to whatever we do next! :)
I hereby dub thee the unofficial Communty Game Night scribe!

Haha! Thanks! I'm actually quite honored by that! *NM*

No really, I am!
Thanks for the games!

I missed most of the action due to Arizona currently being on west coast time, but I enjoyed the few games we got in during the last hour. Thanks for setting this up!
Team Good Guys USA!

It was a blast, I'm glad I was finally able to make one of these retro-matchmaking nights!
Nice sniping along the Zanzibar wall by the way!

It was fun but I had little input in the party chat.
Thanks for the games!

That game on Standoff was so close. The best way I know how to get a team to come on out in the open is to use proximity voice to bug them, especially when in a Warthog. To say the least, I was not expecting to explode. The spike grenade kill on Last Resort was also unexpected.
Best kill(s): Getting Morpheus to chase me out of sea wall window on Last Resort where Snipe was waiting with a sniper rifle. Worked like a charm!
Splattering Snipe with a Mongoose on High Ground.
In general I enjoyed killing Avateur whenever I could because of the taunting, and pretty much feared Snipe every time he was on the other team.

My taunting is MLG pro. Snipe's taunting is MLG Super Saiyan. One day I'll get to his level of roflcopter. :P

Agreed. Disagree about you sucking and dying too much and being a weak link, though.
And even though these game nights seem to get started and organized here at DBO, I decided to post this over at HBO just now:

My taunting is MLG pro.
At least he's not Gordon Brown.
:P
Thanks for the games!

AHAHAHAHA! Oh man that takes it back. I'm so glad you were there for that, because I forgot about it until just now. Classic! :D
Thanks for the games!

I'm pretty sure it was you, too. If you hadn't been there, my goodness, talk about a hilarious memory that couldn't have happened or be remembered. :D
Thanks for the games!

How soon until Jilly asks why we're talking about Gordon Brown?
Thanks for the games!
by Avateur , Friday, August 02, 2013, 12:31 (3925 days ago) @ SonofMacPhisto
Maybe she's in agreement and just wants in? Can't be too long, right? :P
