Sometimes I see players with a cog besides their emblem in the lobby. What does this mean?
EDIT: Thanks for the answer.
Bumping this to the next page cause it's always among the last posts :/
Hey, how is TrueSkill calculated? I've played 17 ranked matches and 9 social matches, and my skill level is 10. I'm a Sergeant with 22 exp, is this pretty good?
Gamertag is LeGiard btw.
Also, I have the same problem as Blueblur1. I too have to get disconnected once from Xbox Live in order for Matchmaking to start working...

If it is to get a film or picture notice by people/Bungie, it's crazy impossible to get, I posted some stuff this morning and it got bumped off the front page before anyone could even read it XD

I just got a Hail to the King. It was pretty sweet when the announcer said it too. I love the medals in this game.

I posted these in the screen shot thread, but I thought that they would be more enjoyed here

I'd also like to add that I think Playlists like Social Slayer should contain more variants like Rockets, Swords, Shotguns, Hammers, stuff like that where you can just go to have fun. If not, then it should have it's own playlist when you're just in a mood to mess around and have fun.

I'm not a huge fan of shotty snipers in slayer, but shotty snipers Oddball 4 v 4 is an amazing gametype, and needs to be in matchmaking.

That's good to know. Maybe my roommate and I will check that out. But then again...Sometimes I get really frustrated in doubles because people OVER strategize making the game more frustrating then fun. But then again we probably won't see much of that in Social.
Possible new development on the Recon armor situation. On High Ground there is a Mortar gun. (I guess that's what it's called) Two sides are empty, while the furthest side has a huge missile inside. If you guys remember in one of the Vidocs, Bungie was talking about having this gun come firing down on the attackers, but had to take it out to have the map balanced correctly. Could this be the gun Luke was talking about? Maybe we have to do something on this map in Forge to trigger an event in which the Mortar gun fires it's final Missile over the mountain side.
Here's the MP bits I just yanked from the original thread. They wanted a home.

Shotty Snipers... Which I haven't played yet... Is not ruining Halo. It's fucking snowbound! I fucking hate that map! Arggghhhhhhhhh
I almost played Epitah today, but those fuckers vetoed it! The map that came up after the veto was Snowbound. That's like adding Insult to injury!

Everything I want to play gets vetoed and then the next thing we get turns out to be worse and all the kids are like "Damn, should've stuck with the first one." Snap decisions FTL.
I finally had a chance to play Epitaph and Construct a few minutes ago...
I liked Epitaph a lot. The layout of the map makes plenty of sense. There was also a nice flow of action in that match that I played.
I'm not sure what to say about Construct yet. I love the design, but who the fuck thought it was wise to have it show up on four player slayer? I spent more than half the match looking for someone to kill. By the time I found someone, I eventually would end up dead thanks to some campers. I think the winner barely managed to get 18 kills, and he did it by camping with the sword near the gravity lift.

Also I may have finally hit my wall in Lone Wolves, after fluctuating back and forth between 38 and 39 for about 6 or 7 games I hit 40. I think I'm going to leave that be, at least until we get 100% confirmation that if I drop below 40 I would still get Colonel later on. Also had a Running Riot on Snowbound against a full party of 38's, and was one away from whatever 20 kills is, soooo awesome. Probably already the high point of my Halo career, I'm not nearly as good as some of you guys
