Am I that bad? I've got a regular Halo group that spend a lot more time playing than I do.
For those who are interested, there's a book out called The Unofficial Halo 2 Battle Guide. I'm not normally one for video game strategy guides, but this one is by far the best read I've come across. It's probably pretty cheap at this point and it will definitely help your game if you find yourself struggling online.
Sorry for bailing last night... I got frustrated when we were all stuck on that weird loading screen. Keep in mind I had just come from playing with some Gamers With Jobs folk where I felt like I was sitting in the lobby forEVER waiting for people to respond to invites, only to get into a game with some asshats who scored with the bomb first then exploited a glitch and hid the bomb outside of the map. It was not a fun night for Halo overall... I think I was on for 45 minutes and played maybe 10 minutes of actual Halo 3.

Yeah, I'm off the demo. I'm glad to have had a chance to play it and I am really looking forward to Halo 3, but for now I'd rather just play Halo 2 and have 2-3 minutes in between games rather than 10-15.
'Last month, the Vatican and CIA made it into the headlines when the Wikipedia Scanner revealed that computers from these two organizations were used to edit certain entries in the online encyclopedia. Now, Sony has joined the infamous list with a pathetic attempt to trash Halo 3. The Wikipedia Scanner has revealed that a computer with the ip address 217.18.23.2 edited the entry of Halo 3 back in April, adding the following line:
Halo 3, the third game in the best-selling Xbox game franchise Halo, is a highly anticipated first-person shooter video game under development by Bungie Studios for the Xbox 360 and is expected to "set a new high water mark" for next-generation games, although it wont look any better than Halo 2.
A query on the IP address shows it belongs to the scee.com domain name, which is the official site for Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.
Oh Sony, what a shame!'

MCV reports that Argos, a catalogue retailer, broke the official release date of Halo 3, allowing consumers to acquire the game a week before the official release date.
Halo fans have been able to buy the game from catalogue retailer Argos – and have sent pictures of their receipts and copies of the game into MCV.
Pro-G contacted Microsoft and the software giant confirmed that it will ban the Live accounts of those who play the game earlier, even if they avoid online play.
UPDATE #1
Pro-G has since been contacted by another MS rep, who said the ban only applies to Microsoft employees.
