Not sure if that will do it.. I don't know what the issue is.

Can you log into the group at the bungie site and look for your name in the members list.

I want see if you are seeing what I am, or if my view is different.

I am not sure what else to offer.
Though really, having it show up isn't as important as everyone has posted their gamertag here, it is just a way in one central place to have everyones gamertag incase people want to add each other to friends list. Though again, that is easier through the clan part of halo 2 since its in the choice of options.

Anways, I'm babbling. If it keeps showing [None Available] after your bungie.net username, don't worry about it.

Shuki 11-10-04 08:12 AM

problem was in settings I think. That option about showing whether or not you "own" your gt. my settings->web settings->top option was set to off. I put it to on and now all seems to be good and I'm uninstalling msn 6.2 :p

Canis Firebrand 11-10-04 08:14 AM

:thumbsup:

Forgot about that option.

Okay, for anyone new that signs up and links their gamertag, make sure you go into your settings-> web settings and change this option to on

Xbox Live Gamertag

On Off
If you have an Xbox Live Gamertag, do you want others to be able to see that you own it when it is linked to this Microsoft® Passport.

I think we have a clan getting started over at the TiVo forum. If that falls through, I'd be interested in getting on board over here. Not that you guys are second choice or anything (trust me, my Halo abilities are not in high demand anyway), but I think this clan has a LOT more members than we will have at TC.

I think a couple of you jumped into a game I was in last night. I didn't care for online play at first, but as we tried different game types and maps that were better suited to a small number of players, it got a lot better. I like Juggernaut.

Well, I have been playing this non stop since 1:30am tuesday. I haven't had a chance to play with any of you but I am looking forward to it.

When my friends and I got back from midnight release my wife and one of my friends wives had set up the room for us. We had a table set up that was labled (health packs) which had various snacks and sugar to keep us going, a cooler that said (super syrum) which had amber bock in it and she pulled the garbage can into the living roome and it had a sign that said dead body disposal.

God I love my wife! Greatest gamenight ever!

Tell me about it. Everything was going fine for me until I got a hold of the Rocket Launcher and took out 3 team members by mistake. Needless to say, I was booted from that game.

StarsHockey 11-10-04 08:55 AM

Well after being taught the finer points of being "Schooled" I had a blast last night. Thanks for the games and hopefully I will see you all again tonight.

So where is the Halo 2 training course though?

kakihara1 11-10-04 09:02 AM

Hey man, seems cool sign me up.

XBL Tag= MARTIN5

Xanager 11-10-04 09:09 AM

As far as adding people from the clan onto your friends list goes, I think I may go ahead and try to add a number of you. Yes when you go into XBL, you can see all of your clan members in a subset of your friends list and join their party or what not. However, a lot of times I check online to see how many friends I have online before I decide to play. So far, I haven't found a way to see if clan members are online or not.

Corleone 11-10-04 09:24 AM

Can you add me back please... I really need to stop and read before I press a bunch of buttons... but after 6 hours it starts to get blurry...

Canis Firebrand 11-10-04 09:47 AM

DamingR and BigDaddy. Just accepted your names in the group. Will send a clan invite later on, if you already didn't get one.

Cusm 11-10-04 10:02 AM

Ugh!! I could not connect to Live at all last night!! My Live does this to me about half the time, and of course last night it had to act up, it gets hung up on the IP config, this sucks because I can play online, go away for an hour and then not be able to connect, without ever touching the router or PC. I guess I will try again tonight.

Copenhagen 11-10-04 11:06 AM

Vryce everybody through Kuma-kun has a clan invite already. If you could sent invites to those names (when you get a chance) after his last post while I'm at work that would be great. Otherwise I'll do what I can when I get home tonight.

Cusm I had similar issues when I first got live, have you opened the following ports?

UDP 88
UDP 3074
TCP 3074

warcp 11-10-04 11:06 AM

If there's still room in the clan, throw an invite to pigbot. I'm not a hardcore Halo player, but I'm decent at FPSers.

fujishig 11-10-04 11:10 AM

Can you add me, if there's still room? At the very least, I'll be good cannonfodder to increase your rank...

Gamertag: fujishige

Shuki 11-10-04 11:11 AM

is a 92ms and a 20/20p good? I hate lag.

edit - those numbers are from the network settings in xbox live dashboard

It was quite fun to be playing with more than just 7 random people cursing every other word and hoping you get the luck of the draw with a good map/game type. I'll likely be on tomorrow night as well, if I don't get sucked into the single player too much.
Yeah the first time I foung a rocket launcher I was on a building overlooking and open area were an enemy warthog was driving around. I got so excited to lock on and blow it up I didn't see the piece of broken wall in front of me. I did't realize you could comit suicide till then.

I am having a hard time figuring out where everything is on the maps, flags, spawnpoints, etc. Has any one seen any map illistrations on the web? Seeing a picture of the whole map might help me out a little.

finbogg 11-10-04 11:27 AM

Looks like its time to get the major clan battles going and take on all comers. Anyone know any other clans we can take on?

And everyone else that I can't remember: nice playing with you last night. That was my first experience playing with people online other than my close friends, and it was thoroughly enjoyable. Hope everyone else had as much fun as I did. That energy sword owns! Soon we'll have to start taking on other clans. Thanks to everyone who got this stuff set up!

My favorite kill of last night was you :). I was in a ghost trying to hit you with the blasters and you jumped on and hijacked it! Not to be jacked and not retaliate, I killed you (not hitting the ghost), and took my ride back! :lol: Definately a GTA moment :).

Hmmm, now that I write it, it sounds pretty dull :(. I guess it was an "in the moment" thing :).

Canis Firebrand 11-10-04 12:20 PM

Copenhagen: I'll get some more after work. I sent a few invites to people that posted between last night and this morning. The only one I couldn't get was the GamerTag Jager Shots. I probably wrote it down wrong. But it sounds like you might have it. I'll double check the spelling and see if an invite was sent. I have everyone invited through strangehate(gamertag).

**EDIT** I added a space to jagershots, thats why live couldn't find the name and I didn't even think to try with no space because I thought there was one.

Xander definetly was a funtime. Thats why I like this clan idea.

Cartman, that would have been awesome to see, but with a lot of action going on, bystanders probably wouldn't have been able to watch without being killed.

I haven't figured out hijacking yet.

I'll send an invite to pigbot, fujishige, and jagershots about 4:30pm est, when I'm home from work.

I don't remember playing with you last night :hscratch:
Are you sure it was me?

MasterofDVD 11-10-04 01:05 PM

I just wish there was a record function to save all the crazy shit that happens. Thank god for surround sound. I can't tell you how often I've seen a blip on the map coming up behind real quick and then I hear a vehicle engine approaching thanks to the rear speakers. I make a leap of faith and do my best to turn and face my fear. :D

The swords are nice but sword only matches are brutal on the nerves especially when the radar is turned off in the match.

Is it true you have to beat the game on legendary to get the hidden map? I hope that isn't true.

Xanager 11-10-04 01:09 PM

I'm pretty sure there is a hidden map called 'Foundation' if you beat the campaign on heroic (read from gamefaqs.com). Don't know about legendary.

I think the best new weapon, from a wielder point of view, is the energy sword. One or two slashes and the person is dead. Sucks for that person though.

Remember if you have the sword and let the reticle hover over someone it turns red. When that happens, pull the trigger. You'll lunge like 10 feet and kill them in one hit. It's dodgeable but tough to do.

My favorite moment playing with friends yesterday was when I jacked my friend's Banshee, pulling him out of it in midair and throwing him to his death.

BTW, for those that haven't figured out jacking: A message pops up to hit X to jump on board when a vehicle is moving slow enough near you. After you jump on, hit B to knock them out and steal it. It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
