Whenever you play a new campaign it deletes your old save point :(

This explains it, I may have done it, inadvertently. I think I will continue in co-op mode. I am stuck on a particular bit on level 3, but I will post about it tomorrow.

Cheers for clearing this up.

i dont like that. I always thought that 2 melees and your dead so 1 takes off your shield the next kills you. Nothing in that video to me makes me think its flawed. The player who won had just that little bit more health to survive :/

Also when joining a game in the lobby why do some people have a cog type symbol ( looks bungie ish ) just infront of there medal and rank ?

Your kidding, the first one shows that the guy with slighlty less health has already started his melee when the other guy is still shooting.

The guy who melee second still has low enough health that the melee should kill him. The 2nd guy starts his melee a second after the first and still gets the kill.

That to me makes Melee very random and you have to hope you have slightly more health than the other guy even if you beat him to the punch.

:confused:

Your joking right?

I have yet to test it but <30% shield, 1 Melee should kill you easily. The second guy had <5% and he survives? You dont call that flawed?

The problem I and many others have is that the second person has WAY too long to counter attack when he should already be dead thus robbing the first person of their kill. So your saying the guy quicker to start the beatdown should lose out to the slower person just because the slower person had 1% more shield? They should have just left it how it always was, the 1st to hit gets the kill.

I agree but Im not sure if Bungie can/will fix this. It seems like just the thing that is embedded deeply into the games engine and would be very difficult to tweak/fix - Im sure a lot of other aspects will have to be changed also if they did this like weapon damage etc.

Nevertheless I hope they do it. The sniper rounds not hitting is latency IMO - I'll be sniping someone and I duck behind a wall but then get shot through the wall and killed only because on my enemies screen it hasn't had time to register that I've gone behind the wall

From a programmers perspective it will be very easy to fix.
 
I am a close combat/mid-range player I dont use the sniper very often so I can accept the sniper rifle, its the beatdowns that are ridiculous. I've said before I doubt they will do anything about it, which is why I'm so ****** off about it because they have taken the game I love and totally mucked it up for me. If they fix the game and bring out some decent maps I may change my view, but until then I've washed my hands of Halo 3.

I'll still play it for the campaign + Co-op, but other then that I wont be online much unless playing on my own.

Probably not, but they will be ****** off anyway because there is no more BxR, BxB etc :p

"hallelujah" Finally bungie have done something right for a change, i detest bxb/ bxr/ double shot/ team stanbying with a passion. Halo 2 was such an awesome game but with so many faults and glitches. I thought they would produce a superb game come halo 3, but i only played it for 2 weeks and im back to playing bf2142 again now :confused:

The fact that i can go back on halo 2, shoot someone in the head 4 times or melee + headshot someone AND actually get a kill just sums it up.
 
callousness add my GT : x Darkchild. Ill help you run through i need acheivments for that level. Anybody who hasnt completed the last three levels (covenent, cortana and the last one) also add me.

Im a level 40 in Lone wolves. :D Don't worry (much) about dying..
 
finished tsavo! was bloody hard like! I need covenent done on legendary and thats me done!

1mm3 i added you but iam off for tonight.
 
You would what it? Lol. Its not as easy as it seems. I usually think people play socially because its easier to rank up. But i dont care about rank as much as i do about levels? What about you guys...
