HALO2: Timmies at it again!

   Played some Halo this morning, 2 out of 5 games in Team Slayer the opposing team stand-by'ed on us. Seriously how long will this go on"? 9 more days? Halo has become something pretty frustrating, I cant wait for the freshness of H3. Maybe there wont be as many timmies running around in the beginning of H3. Or maybe I will be capturing video too much in the playback feature to notice the timmies. Or possibly I will be sucked into the 4player online co-op mode for too long to care; possibly the forge map editing tool will keep me away from their shananigan's.

  Well I did capture video of one of the incidents, dont know what to do with it though, should I render it and try to turn it in to the "officials"? or just record over it since H3 is ssooooo close.? Plus I've never really E-Mailed anything with an attachment to Bungie, what's their E-Mail? maybe its not worth the effort.

COD4 BETA REVIEW

PROs

  First impressions are everything, menu navigation is pretty simple(i like simple). I jump into a FFA. Graphics check: Nice! I likey. Mic Check: Ok, everyone hears me. I ask"pointers anyone?" silence.... oh yah thats right im in a FFA. I exit game, jump into a TEAM game...I ask "pointers?" they reply "sure, what you wanna know?" awesome!

  I like the customizable weapons, good stuff! I like the rank system, and the promotion while in game is a perk! promotion system pretty simple 10 points pre kill. Xnumber of points til next promo.

CONs

 Sometimes I got my allies confused and either Naded or shot at them.

Some Animations seemed kindof stale/stiff. Dont get me wrong they arent as bad as ShadowRuns ladder slides.

OverAll: I doubt I'll get it, I'd like too, but im gonna be heavily involved in H3, it would turn into a coaster.
