- The History Of Osageballer927
In July of 2005, Halo2's online Matchmaking system was rapidly gaining in popularity. As a result of this flood of new Halo players, there was a marked increase and interest in gaining advantage during a matched session in Halo2. One such advantage was termed a 'glitch', in which a series of actions performed by the user would either circumvent the game's code limitations, or break it. One such 'glitch' was called the 'Guardian Glitch'.
As it turns out, several variants of the Guardian Glitch were discovered. One of these was called the Magnum Glitch, in which a series of button presses resulted in the internal failure of Halo2's player co-ordinate tracking, thus forcing an opponent to be interpreted as being outside of the map in either an overhead, or below ground 'death zone'. The effect in-game was that it appeared as if 'The Guardians' were an actual, all-destructive, single shot weapon.
In truth, the Guardian Glitches were not true 'glitches' at all, but internal failures of the Halo2 engine player coordinate tracking system (much more severe than a simple 'glitch' for a retail release).
In July 2005, a user by the name of Osageballer927 registered and posted a singular thread, to which he never replied, asking about the 'magnum guardian glitch'. Today, Osageballer is idolized by thousands of Halo3Forum fans as being the individual embodiment and iconization representative of the the masses of drueling, hand-wringing bad kids who actively trolled various Halo forums in search of ways to circumvent the Halo2 Matchmaking system to their advantage.
Osageballer927 was the 3,664th registered user on H3F. At the time he lived in Missouri, but nobody knows where he is today. Little else is known about Osageballer, but to this very day, his legend lives on.
To date, this thread has received 6,474 views, has been five-starred, and received 140 responses from various members, making it one of the top 100 most visited, unannounced threads in the entire history of H3F.
