5 Things I Hate About Halo 2 Multiplayer
• 2 comments • Filed Under
I’ve been playing Halo 2 ever since the game came out years ago. Don’t get me wrong it is a terrific game, but I figured I’d list some of my top annoyances.
-
Quitters - I absolutely hate it when I join a game and as soon as it starts 1 or more of your teammates quit! I mean what is the friggin’ point in playing the game if you are going to quit!
-
Cheaters - What is it with cheating I swear? I guess people just have no game and decide the only way they can win is to cheat! Stop standby’ing and learn to play for a change!
-
Host Advantage - Face it, having host when playing Halo 2 is usually a big advantage. Do away with this and have the games playing on central servers! I mean I think Halo has made well enough $$ to do this!
-
Damage Dealing - Why is it sometimes it takes 5 direct headshots with a Battle Rifle to kill someone and shortly after someone kills me in 3 hits?
-
Trash Talking Losers - This is kind of funny as well as being an annoyance. Why do people insist on cussing you out and talking trash while they are losing by 20 kills? Hey loser….look at the score!

Final Fantasy XIII (PS3)
• 1 comment • Filed UnderThere isn’t a whole lot of information out there yet about Final Fantasy XIII, but I’ll tell you just looking at the few screenshots we have makes me think this game is going to kick ass!
I’ve been playing Final Fantasy XII now for a while and enjoying it ever since I started. If the Final Fantasy series of games keep improving with each new release I’m going to have to look into attending Gamers Anonymous!
