I haven't even played around with the other 3 maps yet, does that make me a bad Halo player? Yes.

Trying to find a way to budget COX cable internet/TV.
How does XBL run on DSL?
Getting a new house really soon... that comes first

Right now I play about 1-2 times a week on my friend joe and pat's SMACKONYA account. Note if you ever find them you'll know who's playing really easily, Joe and I both are pretty good, running easily with the 15-18 level players... Pat is about a 10 on a really good day.

Whats your screen name... I'll look you up next time I'm over there... might be today. Regardless way look up Joe under Smackonya (his icon is a 1)... if you see my pink horns icon you better grab an oversheild sucka!!!!

XBL on H2 plays well with most broadband, it selects the player with the best speed and pings as "host" in each match.

That said, I'd pick D/L speed vs. cost and decide from there. XBL works fine on both cable and dsl. If you live in the middle of town, you probably have good dsl options.

IMPORTANT:

DO NOT D/L THE UPDATE IF YOU HAVE ANY "HACKED" PROFILES. Whether you are using them online or not.

Delete them first.

XBL will do a scan of your xbox and ban you permanently if a hack is found.

Hundreds of lame-ass cheaters are already getting booted today. Hilarious!
Heads up on the "tons of suicides in 1v1 games" thing I know you love too, this was posted in the Bungie Weekly Whatsupdate:

<snip>SUIV asks,

Hey. I'm sure you get enough annoying questions but can you tell me what the record for the most suicides is because my friend and his friends held a game and they got 10680 suicides. Is that a record or a waste of time.



If it's in a custom game, it's an impressive statistic. But also a complete waste of time. Also, play around in custom games by all means, but don't do it in matchmaking, or you could be banned. </snip>

Just thought I'd let ya know...

I dunno how much I like the 2 vs 2 games, they kind of seem like the perfect thing for people who are weapon whores...I think they should edit out the sniper and launcher on lvls when playing 2v2 games, but thats just my 2 cents

Everything is the perfect game for weapon whores because the weapons always spawn at the same place... basically everyone knows where they are so they are going for them, the person who spawns closest to the big weapon is like "booyah, I'm close to the RL"... game over. It would change things a bit if they had random spawning points for the weapons. That way no one would ever know and it would put a little more skill into the game methinks.

Its just a little worse on 2v2 because its a lot harder to get the weapons away from them. Like the other day I played a 2v2 on beaver creek and right off the bat they got rl and snipe and just destroyed us because we couldn't even move without getting killed. All I know is I love the new gametypes where it is like capture the flag battle rifle, especially on burial mounds.

Yeah, I'm diggin that gametype... starts you out with a usable weapon, real nice. We held the area by the 3 big containers for a LONG time using nothing but BR's and a sniper (for the turret).

Don't worry, it's way easier to climb the ranks now. You'll be like a 25 in no time w/ your skills.

I have band crap to do all week, and then i go to France for two nights this weekend. I probably won't get on until next week, so you have time to brush up.

Just remember - the nades got alot more powerful.
