Hi and welcome! Unfortunately it seems a bit dead in here lately which is a shame, as I personally think it's the best game I've played since Halo 3. If anyone is still playing and wants to group up for some MP or custom games then add me: LimitWarlock

Play it for about an hour nearly every night :D

I agree, it's really good went the servers aren't playing up. Halo 2 was for me the highlight of the franchise.

XBL: FIR55TORM
 
Typical night for me as soon as the Americans start playing it goes downhill fast :(

343 addressed the problem the other day (finally) so there is some hope of a fix. Hopefully they will include an option to select UK servers only.

It only works on weapons you start with. For example if you play Swat or big team battle you can start with your br skin.
 
Does no-one else here struggle with latency? I've been finding it almost unplayable the past week or so, some games will just click and I can do really well then the next I can't aim and lose every gun fight.

Here's my games from last night

2iscdgp.jpg


It can't just be me because 1 or 2 people have quit from every one of my last 5 matches.
 
Anyone on tonight?

Krono and I are on most nights but not having a full team sucks when people quit all the time :(

It'll just be me on tonight though as Krono has to go to a "friend"'s leaving do.
 
Im gonna be getting back into it once we are finished moving - looking for a regular game for sure.
Think I played with a few of you guys back when GOW1/2 was big.
