DrunknMunky Veteran Posted May 18, 2007 Veteran Share Posted May 18, 2007 I'm having some connection problems just now :( It really sucks, I can't even connect to Neowin without using a proxy server. Hopefully I'll be on soon and sorted out the lag :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigapixels Veteran Posted May 18, 2007 Veteran Share Posted May 18, 2007 The shield is an "equipment" item, which are found throughout the map. There are only a few different ones that I've encountered: the shield, a grav lift (let's you go much higher up, to scale a wall or something), and an electrical field that destroys anything near it (I think that's what it was). Once you pick one of them up, you'll see an icon underneath your grenade counts in the top left corner, and you press X to use it. It's a one-time use thing.

Sethos Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 It's a blast to throw a Grav Lift infront of a Vehicle :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giga Veteran Posted May 18, 2007 Author Veteran Share Posted May 18, 2007 It's a blast to throw a Grav Lift infront of a Vehicle :laugh: Also for enemies on foot. Instead of following me through the shield door in Snowbound they just flew up and landed on the roof. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guyro Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 the problem with hte bubble shield is enemies can walk in behind you so its no good at close combat, but i imagine would be brilliant if someone had a spartan laser sighted on you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spenser.d Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 A very nice person on the HBO forums gave me his Halo 3 Beta code, so I am now IN!!! So if any of you want to add me as a friend, my GT is andromeda6478. Feel free to invite me to a game if you guys are playing! I played a few now and it's so much fun. All my friends like it a lot! -Spenser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLarry Veteran Posted May 18, 2007 Veteran Share Posted May 18, 2007 larry is ur xbl DirtyLarry? because if it is ive added you NJ DirtyLarry ;) So there is another DirtyLarry... just not from NJ.. .lol... http://live.xbox.com/en-US/profile/profile...rTag=DirtyLarry I am not sure if they just took all of the names from the original Live from XBox 1 or not and secured them for this version, but I am 99.5% sure my original name was DirtyLarry on Live. I completely forgot all of the Log In info for it eventually, and just let it run out. If you see above, the regular DirtyLarry has 0 points and was last seen never. Actually since you guys got me going on it again, I may try to call support again and get it switched over. The first time I tried over a year ago I got frustrated and gave up, but even if it costs me the stupid points, I really want it without the NJ in front of it. Edit - Now that I see it is my 6000th post, I feel like it is meant to be pursued!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigapixels Veteran Posted May 18, 2007 Veteran Share Posted May 18, 2007 Ah, I just got out of a very fun session with InsaneNutter :) Seriously, if it weren't for the little bit of self-control that I have, I would be playing this 24/7. I'll be on again in about an hour or so, so hopefully I'll see you guys then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLarry Veteran Posted May 18, 2007 Veteran Share Posted May 18, 2007 Signing on now, have exactly an hour to play. Should I create a match or can someone invite me to play? And oh yeah, just got off the phone with support, even if DirtyLarry was my name, which I am damn sure it was, it is now considered dead and there is nothing they can do about it. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLarry Veteran Posted May 18, 2007 Veteran Share Posted May 18, 2007 I had to join a public match, so if anyone signs on, feel free to invite me, these public matches SUCK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted May 18, 2007 Veteran Share Posted May 18, 2007 A couple of us are playing just now if anybody wants to join? Just send Mastergreeneye, dirtylarry or myself a message and we'll invite you if we can :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximum Error Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Hey, i've just started playing the beta and its great so far.... has braught me back to the amazing days of Halo 2's multiplayer. Its surprising that they have a beta that is hands down the best online multiplayer for the 360. Seems the guys at bungie have done it again! I cant come on now but i've added a few of the obvious gamertags i could see in this thread but feel free to add me... Maximum Error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samboini Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I'm probably one of the only ones here that went through training over and over with a strategician during an active war. Not being picky, but this isn't real life. People rarely play as a team on public matches. And to the person who said the game needs excitement, excitement gets you killed. Ask any dead replacement soldier. If the game wasn't exciting it would defeat the point. I appreciate what you are saying but lighten up, life isn't all about having sex at 22:00 hours with the missuses legs akimbo at 86 degrees!

Ji@nBing Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 How do you talk in game? Do you have to hold down the d-pad, or does just hitting it once turn it on? I had to join a public match, so if anyone signs on, feel free to invite me, these public matches SUCK. Yeah dude. The last one I was in, two guys on my team were yelling and swearing at each other over who got the sniper rifle. Pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigapixels Veteran Posted May 19, 2007 Veteran Share Posted May 19, 2007 With the headset, right? You can talk all the time, but only those around you will hear it, no matter what team they're on. But if you hold any direction on the D-pad, you'll do team chat, and that can be heard by your team no matter where they are on the map. You have to hold the D-pad down though to stay in team chat.

Meshuggah Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Oh, I thought you had to hold it too. It makes a lot more sense now, haha. The last game rocked with Larry and Trong. We owned up poor little pixels and munky. Of course we lost every other round imaginable thanks to Und3xoath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
