Umm no. Almost all games run native 1280x720. Only Halo 3 and a couple other ones, I think PGR 3 and Perfect Dark Zero, run lower than that.

Ok, so about the stats problem, Bungie is well aware of it, and are working on it. There's a big thread right here where they are keeping all of the discussion. Nobody's stats are updating.

If you don't feel like reading through that thread, I've got good news and I've got good news. The good news is that the Bungie web guy posted in that thread and stated that nobody's stats have been lost. The other good news is that stats are now processing again as of a 7:59pm ET posting, albeit very, very, very slowly. There seems to be a chunk of stats in particular that didn't process correctly that they are looking into, and will be working on to fix.

So hopefully, in a couple of days, everything will be back up to speed.

Yeah mine has updated about 3 times since friday. It actually JUST updated again, it's only about 2-3 games behind..

How are you making videos outside of Halo? Capture card? I had a decently cool grenade throw off a man cannon on The Narrows that I saved. Of course, I would take my capture card out of my PC.

I'm still not seeing any action. I've probably got about 10-15 games that aren't showing that I played over the weekend. One of my ranked games did update on Saturday, and 4 or some odd custom games that I played all showed up with no problems.

I'm patient, though, hopefully they'll be up before this time tomorrow. It's not like it's life or death .

I have the same problem, I always get invites while I am in the middle of a game. Then when I am available, the people who were inviting me are in the middle of a game.

 

[Queasy]

Yeah, I was looking at everyone online last night and it seemed like everyone was playing so I just did matchmaking play last night.

Really sucked. I was getting constantly raped in 2 or 3 vs 1 matchups because the people that I was playing with didn't even try to stick together. I won only one game and that was with a group that made an effort to stick together. Unfortunately, we didn't get to party up because they had to leave after that match.

yeah there should be a way to say "heygive me a couple minutesjj" in the middle of a game real quick.

Hey just a quick survey......what is your look sensitivity set to? I changed mine to 7(high) last night and I was able to get more head shots in one match than I had in all my previous games. I was able to accurately follow moving targets without falling behind. My game was instantly kicked up a notch.

So what is your setting?

I think it's on 6 right now or whatever medium is. I'm probably going to raise it to at least 7 soon...

Luckily mine hasn't even frozen yet on Halo 3 after about 15hrs of use... which is quite the accomplishment after crashing 7 times on BioShock.

Knock on wood.

Mine is on the default setting. I probably need to change it though.

These stats are killing me, they dumped all the games I played on the 7th and skipped to the 8th and none of my campain stuff is showing.

Nothing wrong with it on the default setting. Mine's at default if not one notch higher. It makes precision aiming with a sniper a lot harder. (For me anyway) Different strokes for different folks though.

 

[KlokWyze]

Anyone else lovin' the changes to existing weapons?

The SMG is badass now! The human shotgun is even more powerful. Oh yeah & the needler... love that shit now.

Mine is on 10, but sniping is.... very difficult for me. It is definitely a plus to be able to shift targets so quickly though, so I think the tradeoff is worth it.

The "beatdowns" are retarded though. Ways to kill people:

1) 3 shotgun shots
2) Empty a 30 round clip into them
3) Blow them up with a rocket
4) Empty a needler clip into them
5) Destroy them with a giant hammer
6) Stab them with an electric sword
7) ELBOW THEM IN THE FACE?????????

I think it's just taking awhile for them to process the stats.

Yeah, that was really pissing me off last night. In one instance, I had just picked up an overshield powerup and was taken out with a single elbow. HTF does that compute?

Wack to the back takes you out...I doubt it was a single elbow.

there is no way you were killed with 1 melee shot to the front of your body, regardless if you had an overshield or not.

they must have done something to drain your sheilds.

the only way to get a one hit melee kill is if you do it from the back.
