it's kind of sad. i'm thinking about getting the fastest internet possible, just for this stupid game. i may even cheapout on the cable tv and some other stuff, just so i can afford the premium internet service.
The upload speed is the constraint. Also your ping times to the servers.

How do you get in the trees on High Ground? I've accidentally landed on a tree on Isolation, but can't get back up there.

I miss playing. We've had a friend from out of town sleeping on our couch recently, so that has taken away all my late night H3 playing. Hopefully I'll be back playing in a week.

You jump from the ledge to a rock, and from the rock to the joint of the tree.

Jae one time got onto the lookout on highground that I want to figure out how he got up there...hopefully it is still in my video selections.

Where's the lookout? On top of where the laser spawns?

I gotta get my tree climbing on!

here's the tree info ...

Hop to the wide base where the 3 limbs connect ..


Jump up the tree because walking = fail


win!


This spot is nasty because the only thing on your level is the sniper tower. People can see you, but there are so many leaves to block their shot. The player shading completely breaks too. I'm in sunlight, but all shadowed in color.


spot 2 coming up.

get on the rock


jump for where the 3 limbs meet


jump up the branch


and go sky high


again, the player shading breaks.

The tree spots are pretty nasty mid game. When players are getting hit left and right, a sniper comes out of nowhere, you never see it coming.

During the start of the game, it's not so good. You're on equal level with the high tower, so the laser guy will spot you instantly.

So... I got my xbox back (well not mine, but another re-ferb). Gotta test her out tonight, been almost 3 weeks without... I guess that was kinda fast turn around time. within 2 business days of them having it - they ship it back out again.
