I'm pretty much brand new to XBL and only a couple of the people on my friends list play Halo 3, so to get my fix I'm having to do a lot of Lone Wolves and matchmaking but that's starting to get a bit old. I'd like to meet up with some people who I can play with regularly. I have no doubts that I'll get owned for a while, so if you want some easy kills then add me while I still suck ;)

Being new to online gaming I don't really know if a Clan is the way to go, but so far OcR seems to be one of the few that matches what I'm looking for (good gamers, but a good attitude as well... i.e., people who don't use "honour" as an excuse for sucking).

Getting a few members outside of US ehh? Heh, trust me gimp, you made the right decision by joining a clan, especially OcR. You have a pretty solid gaming community around you that will help you to become pretty decent at the game, at a fast rate.

Hey guys, cheers for the welcomes.

Web Monkey = I'm a web developer, in house, but also tend to end up doing general internet and networking stuff for the company so I tend to think of, and describe myself as, a web monkey.

MM is starting to get old fast... I had my first bad night with the people I got matched with last night, including a surprising amount of verbal abuse for being British, and not just from stupid kids, and no less than three matches in a row with people wanting to do achievements. I'm content to let one match ride if that's what everyone else wants to do, but seriously... my time each night's limited and I don't want to waste it just so they can boost their gamerscore.

I think I'll be filling in that application form tonight... >_>

Achievement boosting is against the rules here at OcR :)

Looking forward to that app.

Cool. I don't see the point in it... I've been matched up with two games now where everyone else was wanting to do achievements. I just hung back and let them get on with it. Fortunately in the other couple of games last night the others didn't want to either.

On the one occaision that I actually said "no, I'd rather play" (as the only other player with a headset...) the guy who wanted to do achievements kept making a bee-line for me as soon as he spawned. Unfortunately for him, Swords is one of the few gametypes I'm actually consistently good at: Game stats (http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo3.aspx?gameid=137070115&player=gamergimp).
