For All You 'Halo 2' Experts.....

[THWIP*]

....... I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS:

1. WHAT THE F*** IS WITH THE "SITTING OUT" BULLS**T WHEN YOU DIE IN A 3+ PLAYER MATCH? WHY THE HELL DON'T YOU JUST RESPAWN AFTER 5-10 SECONDS? IS THERE A SETTING FOR TURNING THAT OFF?
   
2. PRIVATE VOICE CHAT........WHY DOESN'T IT WORK CONSISTENTLY, AND IS THERE A SETTING FOR THAT AS WELL? I CAN CHAT FINE IN THE MENU, BUT ONCE THE GAME STARTS, IT SEEMS WE CAN ONLY TALK INTERMITTANTLY.......USUALLY FOR A FEW SECONDS AFTER A KILL. I REMEMBER THIS WAS THE #1 TURNOFF FOR ME AND GAMMY WHEN 'HALO 2' FIRST CAME OUT, AND SOME OF YOU INSISTED IT WORKED FINE. WELL, I NEED TO KNOW WTF YOU HAVE TO DO MAKE IT WORK, BECAUSE IT SURE AS HELL DOESN'T WORK BY DEFAULT.
   
3. IS THERE AN ONLINE CO-OP OR NOT? I GO TO THE MENU, SELECT IT, AND IT TELLS ME "2 PLAYERS ARE NEEDED, CONNECTED TO THE SAME XBOX. WTF IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN? IT SEEMS I REMEMBER SOMETHING ABOUT CO-OP BEING ABSENT FROM THE ORIGINAL RELEASE, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS PROMISED, BUT I THOUGHT THEY FINALLY DID A PATCH TO ADD IT OR SOMETHING.

TO BE HONEST, I STILL DON'T SEE WHAT ALL THE FUSS IS OVER THIS GAME. ESPECIALLY AFTER HAVING THE '360' WITH 'COD2' AND 'PDZ' FOR ALMOST 9 MONTHS, IT WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING COMING BACK TO A GAME THAT I NEVER REALLY CARED FOR TO BEGIN WITH........AND IT WAS WORSE THAN I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT. THE SINGLE PLAYER IS SO BORING, I COULDN'T MAKE MYSELF PLAY PAST THE FIRST COUPLE LEVELS. THE MULTIPLAYER, WHICH WAS SUPPOSEDLY THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND IT'S SUCCESS, IS BASICALLY GEARED TOWARD PEOPLE WHO JUST WANT TO AMASS THOUSANDS OF KILLS AGAINST RANDOM PEOPLE. IT'S DEFINITELY NOT SUITED FOR CASUAL 1-ON-1 FRIENDLY MATCHES, LIKE YOU COULD DO WITH 'CRIMSON SKIES' OR 'NCAA FB 2005/6'.........OR EVERY '360' GAME WITH 'LIVE' PLAY.

I BOUGHT THIS GAME......AGAIN.......SO I COULD FINALLY PLAY ON 'LIVE' WITH MY BUDDY 'DRAK', BUT I NEED SOME HELP IMPROVING THE EXPERIENCE.......IF IT'S EVEN POSSIBLE. I KNOW ALOT OF YOU DON'T BOTHER WITH THE VOICE CHAT IN GAMES........AND THAT'S FINE. BUT FOR ME TO PLAY ONLINE, VS JUST STICKING WITH THE OFFLINE SINGLE PLAYER, I NEED TO FEEL LIKE THERE'S SOMEBODY ON "THE OTHER END". I GET NO ENJOYMENT WHATSOEVER OUT OF PLAYING AGAINST SOMEBODY WITH NO HEADSET, OR WHO REFUSES TO ENGAGE IN THE VOICE CHAT. TO ME, THAT GOES COMPLETELY AGAINST WHAT THE REAL FOCUS OF 'LIVE' IS ALL ABOUT.

SORRY FOR THE LENGTHY RANT......ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

That's the only question I can answer and, sadly, the answer is no...

1. You can change that sso easily
2. You hit a button to talk to members on other TEAMS
3. No

 

[THWIP*]

1. You can change that sso easily

3. No

1.) WELL, HOW ABOUT F***ING EXPLAINING IT, IF IT'S SO EASY?

2.) GEE THANKS........BUT I THOUGHT I MADE IT ABUNDANTLY CLEAR I WAS TALKING ABOUT PRIVATE CHAT. I HAVE NO INTEREST IN TEAMS OR CLANS.

3.) THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT......AND IT'S BEEN CONFIRMED BY 'MR. VICE' AS WELL. 'BUNGIE' REALLY DOESN'T DESERVE HALF THE KUDOS THEY GOT FOR THIS PIECE OF CRAP. THEY SHOULD'VE HAD 'LIVE' FOR 'HALO', AND THEY DROPPED THE BALL; NOT HAVING THE PERFECT 'LIVE' EXPERIENCE POSSIBLE.......INCLUDING CO-OP.......AFTER ALL THAT TIME, IS F***ING INEXCUSABLE.

The answer to one is, go to where you pick all the maps and stuff for the game, and then go down to quick options. If you can't fix it there, go to the main title screen and go down to settings. Then go to game varients and make your own. Your friends probably made their own multiplayer rules so you had to sit out. Now you can get revenge on them. Or you can just switch to default slayer mode when you go to rules where all the maps and stuff are.

I CREATED THE MATCH MYSELF.

BUT THANKS FOR THE INFO......I JUST DON'T REMEMBER SEEING AN OPTION THAT SAID "TURN OFF THE STUPID SITTING-OUT-UNTIL-SOMEBODY-ELSE-F***ING-DIES" OPTION. THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR THAT TO EVEN EXIST.

You probably had the max players to 3 instead of 4. Unless you did something else, I don't know.

WELL, I ORIGINALLY CHANGED THE MAX PLAYERS TO 2, BUT SOMEHOW THAT GOT SWITCHED BACK TO 16, APPARENTLY. BUT STILL, IT'S ******ED THAT IT EVEN EXISTS AT ALL. A STANDARD 5-10 SECOND COUNTDOWN TO RESPAWN WOULD BE MORE THAN SUFFICIENT.

You can change the respawn time and everything in the game varient. One time I played this game where everyone was on the same team, and the betrayal penalty was 2 minutes. People got pissed off and quit.

yeah, that's really easy to do...just read the options...and there's no online co-op, and I have no idea what you're even talking about with "private chat"...

IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT "PRIVATE CHAT" MEANS, THEN I'D NEVER HAVE A REASON TO PLAY YOU OVER 'LIVE'.

Thwip were going to play later on today

ONLY IF YOU CHAT.

AND BY "CHAT", I DON'T MEAN YELLING SOMETHING LIKE "MY *****H!" AFTER EVERY KILL.

O.K., LOL.

You have to press up on the D-Pad or the left bumper on the 360 controller to talk, which sucks after playing CoD2 for a while. You can talk for about ten seconds before it cuts you, and it stops when you stop speaking automatically. But it's more real this way since when you talk without pressing the button, only people around you can hear. Last night I was playing Drak and Meatbag, and Meatbag kept running over the top of me and I heard him hyping up Indeeglo's awesomeness.

 

[SouLeSS]

Why do you always post in all caps?

THAT'S EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT.

 

[THWIP*]

Why do you always post in all caps?

BECAUSE I HAVE A SMALL PENIS, AND I'M COMPENSATING FOR LACKING SIZE.

ANYMORE QUESTIONS, NOSEY?

 

[Master Chief]

Makes for some interesting game modes though. Like that one where there's one killer, and everyone else has to run away from that person who uses an energy sword or something. They play some creepy music over their headset (like the Halloween theme for example) and when you hear it you know they're close. Awwwesome.

MEH.....JUST GIVE ME 2-6 PLAYERS, WITH OPEN CHAT, AND I'LL BE HAPPY (AS LONG AS ONE OF THEM ISN'T 'NOFX').

1. To make it easier to find his own posts
2. Because his site's leaving him at his old age
3. Because he's prejudice against the lower case letter "E"

Though, I never got why he didn't just press "CRTL+F" and search the page for his name

Aww, come on now. That was uncalled for, dude. He's a newbie.

YOU KNOW I'M JUST MESSIN' WITH HIM.
