My roommate picked it up, and I forgot how much I loved playing it. So I'm going to be getting it when the mall opens at noon.
My tag is Cpt Castle for those that don't have it. I look forward to playing with you guys again

Its not too hard to get used to. I don't see how anyone could bear playing default settings though. Just play MLG and your shot will get good, which is pretty much all you need. It doesn't take much knowledge of the game at all to be good in H3 anyways. It really is a terrible game :/
I just thought to post this here too because I won't be on it after the first event of next year. We're there in 30th. Before Dallas, my old team was around 22nd or so, but we did terrible at Dallas and dropped down a lot. So there is my proof I'm good before it goes away (unless I decide to play as much as all these H3 kids with 10k games played, but that's not likely.)

Oh I love the mlg settings, I meant I'm not an mlg the same way you're an mlg player, going to tournaments and such. I have done fairly well at holding my own so far, and as soon as I get the strafing rhythm and such back I'll probably do pretty good on a really constant basis, but as you said, I'm not willing to play at every moment of the day, so that's about as far as it will go.
Yeah, some people are pretty ridiculous. I have around 4k games played I think, most of those are from before summer. I'd say the average games played of pros by now is around 7k. This one guy, Pilez, dropped out of high school to play Halo and has around 14k games played. That's not the most pathetic part though. He's been to 2 events and only placed top 24 at both of them (which is a god awful placing for someone who plays that much). That's not even enough to get a travel stipend (top 16) or prize money (top 8). Its funny, because every time I run into him he tries to talk shit to me, and I just sit there and laugh. I really don't have to say anything. The only other person I know of that's done that is T2, and he's on the #1 team, the poster boy for MLG, and he's going to be on Dr. Pepper bottles in 2009.
This is where I would try to explain to you the concept of playing a game more when it first comes out if I thought you would be able to comprehend it.
For your sake though, well just say at this rate I'll have 16k games played by Halo 3's 4th anniversary. Omg wow that sure is a lot lol!!!
ozzy, add my gt- sakatah the cat. that one has a ran out live membership so im using a one month currently- mrmertenz4lyfe
i'd love to run some customs. all my friends are pretty meh and the randoms i play with in the mlg playlist are pretty bad too.
About 3k of those games were from the first 6 months. Omg on the 4th anniversary I should have like 24k games played lawl!!!
Sure. My list is probably full though. I usually make a second account from time to time so I can play with friends without being a 50 so I'll add you on that once I make it.
From my experience all of Carbon was always really nice, except I always thought Ghost was a cocky prick. Saiyan was dropped from StK/3D/FB for StrongSide after the '06 Championships and he stopped playing around mid '07. They won the first H3 event, and had mediocre placings after that. They ended up dropping Walshy a few months ago and still placed badly. Now that the season is over StrongSide has left for a different team, there are rumors that Ogre 1 is retiring, and Ogre 2 is a free agent. All in all its been a really sad season for them, though no other team will ever accomplish what they did.
But anyways, that link reflects the placings right after the Championships.
As of now in the off-season it looks like:
As for the Best Man question, well I'm not sure how to explain that. Its not really the same team it was at all 3-4 years ago.

yeah, it's weird how ogre 1 is retiring. and does anyone else think of how fucked up it is that neighbor replaced soviet? like wtf srsly.
i wish ambush stayed together. massive potential. pistola is so awesome.
Ogre 1 retiring is still a rumor. As of now he's in Australia and taking a break from Halo for awhile.
Soviet has amazing potential, but he's too inconsistent. It seemed Instinct's games were mainly determined by if Soviet was on fire or not. I'm glad Walshy gave him a chance to prove himself though. It will be interesting to see how Neighbor fits in with Instinct now.
Ambush was an amazing team. I'm friends with Cloud and the only problem with their team was the fact that they NEVER practiced for events. They rarely even played with each other. Pistola got the offer from tD before but decided to stick it out for the season. Its good he took it though because I know his playstyle will mesh with tD well. Their placing all depends on how they are emotionally at the event though seeing as how they are insanely inconsistent. Heinz got a good deal out of that split as well. He has always been underrated and I think he'll do well on his new team. I don't think Cloud knows what he's doing yet and I can't see Nexus getting as good a team as that anymore. Nexus is a solid player, but he does all the bitchwork and is naturally overshadowed.
yeah, its crazy how they never practiced. and theyre all so young, it's crazy.
MY new tag is Breadstick Pupp after me and my buddies Rock Band 2 band. I'm probably gonna change it to enola gay, but as for now it's breadstick pupp
I wish some people would add me, and/or play with me, cause it's getting old kicking ass in matchmaking and losing because of scrubs
feel free to add mrmertenz4lyfe and sakatah the cat. the latter is my usual account (live ran out/wont have live till xmas), and i've been using a one month for the time being.
can i change my name to bockscar so we can be the ultimate halo 3 duo eh eh
I've played H3 twice since this summer at college. Both times I got kicked out because I was winning too much. Oh well.
I played real heavily when I was 15/16. After that I didn't really play too much.
New joke tag is OEO KiLLeRxToFu
Add it.
I'm going to have a lot of time off today after work so I'll probably play H3 for awhile. If anyone wants to play today let me know. I want to try to get back into the swing of things and today is looking like a good day to start.
EDIT: Forget it...I played for about an hour and got too bored/mad at this shitty game. I have better things to do.
