For those of you wondering what it's like to actually speak to Adam(Dunbar79)...I have the following for you:
Adam98PC (11:37:00 PM): does halo seriously have variable damage?
UncleHerpie (11:37:06 PM): ahhahaha
Adam98PC (11:37:43 PM): it would certainly explain a lot, but jesus fucking christ...
UncleHerpie (11:37:54 PM): it's not that big of a deal
Adam98PC (11:38:37 PM): I dunno, I know people complain about cheating in halo, but you would think it would be worse in a pc game
Adam98PC (11:38:44 PM): take battlefield for example
UncleHerpie (11:38:51 PM): you don't play enough to know the imbalances
Adam98PC (11:39:04 PM): I have far more bullshit happen to me in halo than battlefield
Adam98PC (11:39:17 PM): I just dont play when you play, I have been playing a bit more lately
UncleHerpie (11:39:29 PM): still not enough
Adam98PC (11:40:02 PM): I have been complaining about the bs in this game since day one, I dont think you need to play that often to run into it
UncleHerpie (11:40:54 PM): yeah, but it's like the difference between night and day now that the update hapened
Adam98PC (11:41:33 PM): when you say update, u mean when they restarted the rankings?
UncleHerpie (11:41:58 PM): yeah, and they had an auto-update to fix bug's n' such
Adam98PC (11:42:38 PM): I've probably played more since the update than I did before it
UncleHerpie (11:42:48 PM): where they changed the balance of certain weapons
UncleHerpie (11:43:14 PM): for instance, I'm no longer completely useless on Midship
Adam98PC (11:43:51 PM): I hate midship
UncleHerpie (11:44:05 PM): as do I, but I hate it far less than I did
UncleHerpie (11:44:12 PM): now I hate Warlock
Adam98PC (11:44:27 PM): I hate midship less now only because I know where to find all the battle rifles
UncleHerpie (11:44:46 PM): how hard was THAT to figure out?!
UncleHerpie (11:45:01 PM): you have a strange issue about where things are
Adam98PC (11:45:11 PM): not very, but you apparantly managed to overestimate the amount of time I play
UncleHerpie (11:45:17 PM): just play the level by yourself, you'll find everything
UncleHerpie (11:45:44 PM): 2 seconds ago I was UNDERestimating how much you play!!! make up your mind!!!
UncleHerpie (11:46:12 PM): it only took me one walkthrough to know where everything was
Adam98PC (11:46:13 PM): I've played more since the update, hence I found the battlerifles and carbines
UncleHerpie (11:46:37 PM): they were there before the update as well
Adam98PC (11:46:46 PM): but I hardly played before
UncleHerpie (11:47:08 PM): you should only have to play through a couple times to know everything
Adam98PC (11:47:34 PM): I never really bothered taking the tour of midship by myself
UncleHerpie (11:47:44 PM): you can ask me any weapon on any mao, and I'll know where to get it
Adam98PC (11:47:58 PM): you cant find everythign in a real match cuz the good weapons are frequently taken
Adam98PC (11:48:10 PM): good for you, some of us have jobs and cant play 20 hours a day
UncleHerpie (11:48:18 PM): well, then you go look for somehting else
UncleHerpie (11:48:29 PM): but you should at least know where they got the weapons from
UncleHerpie (11:48:44 PM): I play probably 3 hours on a good day
UncleHerpie (11:49:01 PM): and I don't play anywhere close to everyday
UncleHerpie (11:49:23 PM): but I knew where everything was, way back in Nov. when I bought the game
Adam98PC (11:49:51 PM): I'll repeat, some of us have jobs and dont have time to dick around in halo maps finding shit
Adam98PC (11:50:07 PM): I'm guessing you played a lot more then than you do now
UncleHerpie (11:50:09 PM): you have no excuse
UncleHerpie (11:50:23 PM): maybe a little
UncleHerpie (11:51:02 PM): and ther eare plenty of people who have jobs, that still play halo, AND know where the weapons are
UncleHerpie (11:51:20 PM): you must just be too slow to get to them in time
UncleHerpie (11:51:45 PM): it's not like they are hidden
Adam98PC (11:52:01 PM): I also have other shit to do with what little spare time I have than play video games
UncleHerpie (11:52:09 PM): that's not the point
UncleHerpie (11:52:21 PM): there are plenty of other things I do with my day
UncleHerpie (11:52:30 PM): and I DID have a job when this game came out
Adam98PC (11:55:08 PM): you manage to sqeeze it in
Adam98PC (11:55:16 PM): you cant argue that you play far more than I do
UncleHerpie (11:55:23 PM): I'm not trying to
UncleHerpie (11:55:40 PM): all I'm saying is that you SHOULD know where the weapons are
Adam98PC (11:56:31 PM): and I'm saying that I didnt necessarily know where all the weapons were/are because I dont play the game as much
UncleHerpie (11:57:05 PM): with how much you HAVE played, you SHOULD know
Adam98PC (11:57:53 PM): depends on what I'm doing when I'm playing...I am typically actually playing, not dicking around learning weapon locations
UncleHerpie (11:57:58 PM): you have 850 logged games
Adam98PC (11:58:16 PM): I just checked and it had me at 171
UncleHerpie (11:58:25 PM): that is AFTER the update
UncleHerpie (11:58:45 PM): you have 34 pages, each with 25 games
UncleHerpie (11:58:58 PM): minus a couple on the last page
Adam98PC (11:59:21 PM): ok, now how many do you have total?
Adam98PC (11:59:28 PM): nevermind that
Adam98PC (11:59:44 PM): point being, when I play, I am actually playing, not running around a level by myself
UncleHerpie (11:59:45 PM): more than 850
Adam98PC (11:59:51 PM): and especially not running around midship
Adam98PC (12:00:09 AM): which brings us back to the problem of weapons frequently being taken when you are actually playing
UncleHerpie (12:00:15 AM): you don't HAVE to be running around, that was merely a suggestion as to HOW to find things
Adam98PC (12:00:27 AM): and it makes it rather difficult to learn weapon locations when the weapon isnt actually there, doesnt it?
UncleHerpie (12:00:48 AM): it can't possibly be taken every single time you play
UncleHerpie (12:00:58 AM): depending on where you spawn
UncleHerpie (12:01:08 AM): just commit them one by one to memory
Adam98PC (12:01:47 AM): the problem was largely midship
UncleHerpie (12:01:51 AM): and for the record, I have 2850 games
Adam98PC (12:02:24 AM): and of course, the sniper rifle on containment
Adam98PC (12:02:27 AM): which is a new map
Adam98PC (12:02:34 AM): that I never play
UncleHerpie (12:02:37 AM): and I knew it on day 1
Adam98PC (12:02:47 AM): because I get lagged out of it every time it comes up
UncleHerpie (12:02:50 AM): you were there on day 1, while we were exploring it
Adam98PC (12:03:11 AM): no I wasnt
UncleHerpie (12:03:14 AM): it's user error on this particular instance I'm afraid
UncleHerpie (12:03:20 AM): yes you were
UncleHerpie (12:03:24 AM): I remember it
Adam98PC (12:03:34 AM): I was going to bed at a reasonable hour while you were waiting in line like a tool to get the game at midnight
UncleHerpie (12:03:42 AM): no, you fuck
Adam98PC (12:03:44 AM): and the following day I was at work while you were playing
UncleHerpie (12:03:49 AM): I'm talking about Containment
Adam98PC (12:04:05 AM): I downloaded those maps and didnt touch them for almost a week
UncleHerpie (12:04:25 AM): you were on the map when you down;oaded it, and I was there
UncleHerpie (12:05:11 AM): and the ammount of time you've spent arguing with me about it, you could have walked around each level and found everything
UncleHerpie (12:05:28 AM): or I could have told you where things are
UncleHerpie (12:05:40 AM): or even shown you, as I am logged in right now
UncleHerpie (12:05:46 AM): althoguh not playing
Adam98PC (12:06:22 AM): but I didnt plan on arguing, I just mentioned that I hate midship slightly less than I used to and you had to be a cocksucker
UncleHerpie (12:06:29 AM): hahaha
Adam98PC (12:07:00 AM): so congrats on knowing all the weapon locations in halo faster than I did evan, whatever it takes to make you feel better about yourself
UncleHerpie (12:07:20 AM): whatever you say...slow-ass
Adam98PC (12:07:47 AM): harrass bungie for it, I bet they have variable walking speeds as well
Adam98PC (12:07:49 AM): motherfuckers
UncleHerpie (12:10:24 AM): good lord
