I actually don't know that story
Well there's not much of a story but Final Boss had been so great and so dominant with that squad and then when they finally made a team change, it was kinda nuts.

Why did they change? And what happened to Saiyan?
They started losing and got booted, he came back in 07' with semi serious teams and eventually "retired". Went to school, got married, etc.
They stopped winning. Carbon took over after they had dropped Strongside for Ghostayame. Carbon won 3 straight and took the 06 season. Final Boss picked up Strongside and never looked back. Saiyan played some of 07 but I believe retired not too long after. Think he went on Legendz?? Not sure, Cyren can correct me.

I would say for slayer purposes Snowbound is better than: The Cage, Boneyard, Pinnacle, Spire, Sword Base, and Paradiso. That does not include Forge maps and DLC.
That isn't to say that Snowbound is good, I would just vote for it before any of the above.

I would rather play snowbound than a majority of the reach maps.
Naded is now less crazy but I can never think of him the same.

For real. Have you seen those pics of him and Boss Nasti hanging out around town? Fuckin Harry and Lloyd lol
Never was on Legendz, I think you are thinking of Defy going to Legendz after leaving Str8 in 06'.
What team did he form after FB then?

Yeah the CE and H2 versions had one neutral shotty, it was just CA's "Reach" version of the map that they decided that a relatively small 4v4 map needed 7 power weapons.

Good games. I like how I can hang back and just goof around while yall slaughter.
Aha! There it is. Make it Rain.
I think T2 is the only that dropped out that I've publicity heard of, but he did go back to finish it. King of Kong is a pretty good movie, if you like that also check out "Chasing Ghosts Beyond The Arcade."

Found the video of saiyans interview.
Man he has changed so much. Sucks it was such a short interview. I wonder if there's any footage of the halo ce games they played after the tourney.

Congrats you've been granted membership into the super cool "you got ragemail" club. Here is your complimentary wine and cheese.
Plays for me.
I remember being at Raleigh and being disappointed Cliffy B didn't go
You just gave him more hatemail!

nvm
But I don't actually track spawns as much as I just look around the map frequently. :]

The grenades are simply baffling in this game. I don't get it at all.

Too bad the grenades are one of the few things that I like about Halo 3.
In all seriousness though, I think I could understand, if not necessarily agree with, just about every design decision in every Halo game, with the exception of Reach grenades. They are plain broken in just about any way to you look at them.

No no no...you've got it wrong. You're thinking of the beta grenades. After the beta Bungie said they were decreasing the effectiveness of grenades and reducing the amount that appeared on the map. They also made it easier to tell when a grenade was coming at you and/or landed near you.
So really there's nothing wrong with Reach's grenades. Nothing to see here. Move along.
Reach's grenades are broken

I actually like strong grenades in theory.
Strong grenades are able to flush people out, prevent you from losing some shields and then just hiding to regain them, keep people on the move. It should speed the game up. That is of course, based on the fact that you can actually get out of the way of the grenades. In Reach, you have a combination of limited movement options, and the fuse time on the grenades is by far the shortest in the series. That just doesn't make any sense. That aspect fundamentally changed the use of grenades from every previous Halo game (including CE's, which were immensely powerful, but they had a very long fuse, and you could move) from the ultimate tool to flush players out and keep people on the move to the most powerful killing tool in your arsenal. That is a change that I think almost everyone can agree on, is not a welcome one.

I actually saw TU Elite Slayer as a voting option... we're doomed
I don't get how anyone could get vanilla slayer (AR starts) over TU slayer, fuck you armor lock abusers!

I mostly just associate your bad taste in maps to you not playing much of Halo 2.
If you had, you would never equate ok maps to being great maps.
Backwash was better than both Construct and Narrows and that is one of the lesser known maps from Halo 2.
Also what is Elite Slayer doing being the main choice for TU tonight? I guess 343i likes to troll their fan-base as much as Bungle did.
I kind of agree. Godtier map.
Can we get this map/gametype in Infection please?

So if tonight was any indicator, looks like TU will be winning by a landslide.

Lol, please post em.
Naded has always been a bit mental. It's what gives him his edge.
Maybe if someone makes the concept work for 4 split..
