In Response To: HBO Weekly Review (Weekly Review) : HBO Weekly Review : Week Ending Sunday, August 10, 2003 : What a busy week! Add to that, I bought a new computer and have been spending : time transferring all my stuff. Also, to the person who sent me a : "How to be a jerk in co-op", please send it again. It has gotten : lost in the shuffle, and I remember laughing when I initially read it! : Sorry! : On with the show! : Straight from Bungie's word-hole : : 1.

This is now over, and we should expect to : see the webcam move to another interesting location as soon as the : WEBMASTER finds time out of his day (he's busy programming the new site on : the new servers). : http://www.cybrfrk.com/BungiesWebcamFaces.htm " : MSN : "It's Mat, not Matt." : mehve : "Hey!

Louis Wu writes: "In that case, either they didn't use that box for : the screenshots, or something ELSE is going on. :)" : SketchFactor : "I don't know the full details but I wanted to let : everyone know that this site was using a *very* early build. This was not : even a beta-build, much less something that should have been reviewed. The : older builds that I have had experience with were definitely not optimized : for anything but the very latest cards (9800, GeForce FX). It's also : likely that a lot of other issues were unresolved on that particular build : which surely affected their overall experience. : I have no idea why they would think a pre-beta build of a game would be : suitable for posting a full review of the game." : 8. Louis Wu writes: "A new link has been added to the top of this page. : (It'll stay there until this current wave of traffic slows quite a bit.) : You really, really, really need to read it, if you want to post here about : hacking Halo." : Anim8rJB : "I thought I'd stumbled onto a new hack forum for a second, : there. Good luck policing all those posts. I'll check back in a week or so : when all this business has died down." : 9. BOLL writes: "I'll continue to post crap in this thread... just.. so : I got a greneral place to put it.. if it's ok with everyone?" : butcher : "wow, that's amazing, I have to go beat up jaime for leaving : the engineer and the ghost on silent cartographer. those models are taking : up valuable space we could have used for other things... same for the : flamethrower and gravity rifle. : glad you're enjoying them, though. :)" : : Wu is me! : : 1. "I HATE it when people read half a thread. ;( " : 2. "If you're so friggin' clueless that you can't find the major Xbox : hacking sites on your own, we want zero responsibility for the problems : you will inevitably cause when you attempt to open your Xbox." : 3.

"In short, if you're going to call someone a dumbass, you better make : sure that you are, in fact, not a dumbass yourself." : 2. "I like how you're both idiots. That's my fa~vorite part." : 3. "Is that how you justify ending up with the needler in multiplayer : all the time? Of course, I can only assume this is what happens. Maybe : MNEMESIS can confirm for me.

Too many posts, very, very little gems. : Trolling Through the Park One Day... : And the Award for faking "My modding destroyed my XBox. They should : have warned me!!! Thanks HBO, I'm suing!" goes to... : Nats - "I waited a bit, opened it up and the whole mother board was : fried, the chip I put it was all charred, and everything was warm. I : unlugged it and plugged it back in a few times, shook it around and tried : it again but it still wont work! I tried everything! I figure it's got : something to do with the halo hackin cause there were no problems before. : Has anyone else experienced this?" : You can lock the thread, too bad you can't lock them up! : How to be a Jerk in Co-op : (new submissions) : 1. "If you use the plasma rifle against the flood, and you are... say... : 30ft ahead of your friend... the flood usually fall, but do not die, as a : result of the plasma rifle fire. (This is assuming you stop firing at : their bodies after they fall down.) So as your friend is following you, : suddenly all the flood you shot down should pop up to say "hi" : to your co-op buddy." - FrogBlast : 2. "Let your buddy ride the elevator halfway down, then hit X to bring : it back up. Your buddy will promptly slip through the floor of the : elevator and fall to his death." - Warbow : 3. "kill your coop-er while you are in a banshee. when you fly, you are : going too fast for them to respawn. now to really stiff them, land at the : highest point possible or better yet crash into a high wall. when you : crash, your speed will be low enough that the person respawns in midair : and will fall and fall and fall. repeat as necessary." - Tirion of : *WP* : 4. "Wait until you Co-op buddy is standing on glass over the enemy. : Shoot the glass and send your partner down into the middle of them. Then : don't forget to says "Oops sorry" - Warbow : 5. "Spend all your time breaking glass, don't worry about any enemies. : You must run around hitting every piece of glass so that you hear the : breaking sound. Don't kill anything, it just takes time way from your : glass breaking. Do this until your partner either screams at you or just : walks up behind and smacks you in the head. Either way at that point you : know that you have become a Jerk." - Warbow : 6. "My younger brother and I play Halo alot and he is 3(he has learned : the controls very well) Well last night we played GS level and while the : glass and the gernade ideas are good try this. When crossing the first : bridge (not flashing) above a large group of flood and covenent get across : first the deactivate the bridge with your partner on it. My brother did : this to me and it =bleep=ed me off. I eventually was pulled to him by a : check point and introduced him to the back end of my shotgun. Something : similar can be done on AoTCR get to the elevators first and go down, : Either you slow down your buddy (death is imminent then) or you kill them : because they jump after you. (the elevator looks closer than it seems and : it keeps moving faster than you can fall)." - Lt. Marx : 7. "When your partner is being chased closely by infection flood (or : anything else for that matter) Say "I've got your back!" and, : instead of shooting the badguy down, toss a plasma 'nade onto the pursuer. : The alien chasing your friend will become a homing grenade... your friend : will promptly smack you." - FrogBlast : 8. "This annoying trick involves using the checkpoint/loading areas of : Halo and works better if you are playing legendary. Hang back near a : checkpoint, wait until your co-op buddy is fighting an elite. When he/she : finally has the elite's shield down, back up and trigger his/her return to : your location. Generally, by the time he/she returns to the fight, the : elite's shield are recharged. Keep doing this repeatedly. This trick also : works well while your partner is flying a banshee. Wait until he/she is : flying over an object that is normally not accessible from the ground, : such as a bridge or large rock formation. Trigger the checkpoint and if : you?re lucky his/her banshee will crash on said object. Leaving them on : the ground where he/she belongs. Oh and as always don't forget to say : 'Oops, sorry!' " - Warbow : 9. "The setup: make sure that your partner is driving the warthog, you : should be the gunner. You should not have a marine riding shotgun. Wait : until your partner is driving toward a large group of Covenant. This part : takes timing, you must wait until right before the hog is within range of : the covenants weapons. Bail out, if you time it right, your partner will : not realize that he has no gunner until it is too late. Hopefully there : will be several jackals with over charged pistols to take out his/her : shields and several elites to finish him/her off. Now comes the tricky : part, you must act casual. When your partner asks "Why?" You : respond "What??....I'm shooting them" while you firing a few : pistol rounds in the general direction of the enemy." - Warbow : 10. "Also, (especially when playing coop against the flood), should your : buddy happen to die, toss a f r ag grenade onto his body (when he's not : looking!). Thus scattering his weapons so to make him go through an : aggrevating search and recover if he wants that Shotgun again.. " - : pete_the_duck : 11. "This is fun with everyone, but it's better when I'm teaching new : people to play while in a co-op mission with them. I usually do this on : the light bridge, but whatever: while driving the warthog with them in it, : I run it off the right side of the bridge and jump out at the last second : when my door is at the edge. The best part is that they usually try to : jump out, too, but that just makes them die faster." - Glenn Close : 12. "Going into battle, either two or three on a hog. 1. You are gunner : , must have plasma grenade. - Just before, jump out, toss plasma : (sticking) to rear underside - Hog flips, causing driver shield reduction, : just as the attack begins 2. You are the side-seat passenger, must have : plasma grenade. - To a sticky toss to the driver and/or gunner, and bail : OR.... 3. You are the side-seat passenger, any grenade - Toss it out in : front of the hog (like you are throwing at the enemy) - As you drive over, : hang on...of all passengers, you will survive the best." - CYBRFRK : 13. "While playing Halo (the level) whoever is first plyer gets to have : alot of fun at the beginning. As soon as you gain control of your Master : chief, run forward and melee player 2 in the back. (for some odd reason : player two starts in front of player 1) As you are doing this (as in right : before you're melee hits him), you should trigger a checkpoint. As soon as : you partner respawns you might recieve the same treatment, but it is safe : to say that you'll get the last laugh when you repeatedly kill yourself, : leaving him to face the Covenant dropship...as soon as you revert to : saved, he'll die, and no amount of jamming the control stick forward will : save him. Have fun ;)" - Jamirus99 : 14. "This works best with a player at your skill level, and it's easy : enough to do. Just fire up the level Halo, and when you are about to get : to the underground cavern thing, make sure they are in the passenger side : of the puma. Park on the side of the cliff so that they can't get out : without dying. Get out of the 'hog and stand behind it, so that they can't : shoot you, and try to get as close to the edge as possible. With any luck, : when they decide to just bite the bullet and fall, they will respawn over : the edge, and fall again. You can stay there for a few minutes, making up : some story about your controller being screwed up and not being able to : move." - B-go : 15. "Get your co-op buddy to ride on the tracks of the tank in AotCR. : Try to get him to sit on the front tracks. When you get to the underground : area, pull up to the broken bridge and hang the tracks over the edge as : far as possible without driving off. Hop out and continue on your merry : way. If you want, slap a plasma granade on the back of tank as you walk : away." - Boss "Wart" Hogg : : You think you're a jerk in co-op, or been jerked? Post 'em, and if it brings : the slightest hint of a smile out of me, I'll include it in next week's : edition! : Newbie Corner: : : Ahhh...a newcomer? Check this out! : FAQ's are great! : Spam!
