Only topped by Cherry Coke. Though we don't get much of either in my parts anymore.
Just bought a batch of them. Really the only Dew I like.
Baja Blast.
In Holland I can only find Voltage, Code Red and normal Dew. Wish I could try more flavors

Maybe if there was a Grifball playlist amiright?Seriously? So grifball and flood are gonna be ranked too?
There was a ranked version of Grifball in once upon a time. A couple of friends of mine got to 40 in a single night of playing it.
One of the advantages of doing the ranks on Waypoint is that you don't need a ranked and social split. Given the low number of playlists that they appear to want to keel matchmaking at, I don't think they plan on a distinct ranked and social playlist, just some might not show ranks on Waypoint.
Hmmm, yeah that's a pretty big maybe.
For real. Pretty sure I stopped eating Twinkies when I was like 8

Congrats man! What was the subject you graduated in?
Yeah totally agreed.
Amen. Also, the existence of ranks alone encourages boosting. Ranks do more harm than good, I can see why the decision was made to leave them out upon release.

Really? It's not like people couldn't just boost from day 1 anyways. -___-
Skill ranks is what kept he majority of players around, as numbers show that since the last two halo games. I hated Reach and sold it after a month but if it had ranked playlist I would have played it regularly until H4 was released and seeing as after too. Simple as that.
I don’t know how they could differentiate between social and ranked because of the UI. With Halo 3 you could easily chose between the two sections. How are the possibly going to do it in Halo 4?

They probably won't IMO. Some playlists just might not show ranks on Waypoint.
Can I haz an Extraction playlist yet 314?

Thanks! Criminal Justice. My mother in law just gave me 200 dollars to put towards my off duty carry pistol as well.

Flashbacks of half implementation of Reach’s Title Update.

I haven't seen you cry this much since Frankie avoided you.
He didn't even want to play Halo 3 with me.

It's been an emotional week.
Also heard you giggling like a little girl earlier when the Ronald Reagan joke was made.

It's because you don't 'get' Halo as much as Dax or Ghaleon. Don't feel bad.
Now, I know what you're thinking.
This is actually an Elite rigged/rendered in Halo CE. A small group of people from CMT are remaking Chiefs Halo 2 campaign (starting from Delta Halo) because they're tied up waiting for other people in CMT to finish their business with some of the missions and had some time to kill. There's a thread on Halomaps with screenshots of some of the various encounters to show that it's actually happening.

Cool. I'd love to see someone do it. Hell while at it recreate the Halo 3 campaign too. It still just pisses me off how MS treated the franchise on PC.

Anyone down to get Bros to the Close achievement? (Keep UNSC Marines alive on campaign mission 4.)
It's the only one beside a crimson achievement I have left.

Easy! The War Games trees can operate in threes, so just do Ranked, Infinity, and Action Sack or a more militaristic term like "Rec Room."
Ranked (no JiP, all classic settings. May use remakes.)
Lone Wolves
Team Doubles
Team Slayer Pro
Team SWAT
Team Snipers?
Team Objective (CTF / Assault / One Flag and One Bomb alternate in third slot)
Team Regicide
Social (JiP, Infinity settings. May use community maps.)
Infinity Rumble Pit (Slayer / Oddball / Alternate Regicide and King of the Hill)
Multi Team (Slayer / Alternate Oddball or King of the Hill / Alternate Regicide, Flag, and Rocket Race)
Infinity Team Slayer
Infinity Objective (CTF / Oddball / King of the Hill)
Infinity Big Team (Slayer / CTF / Assault)
Infinity Big Team Tactical (Dominion / Extraction)
Rec Room (Limited to one playlist, switched to 2 temporarily on DLC releases, JiP enabled. Offers Double EXP and rotated weekly.)
Grifball
Flood
Team Snipers?
Race
There, 13-14 playlists with significant variety and low player base fragmentation. They'll just do this, right?
...riiiight?

I suppose.. but SR 130 isn't going to take long. Then whats the point? It's odd they made a system you can cap out at very quickly as well as maxing out at all.

Max it out just in time for the CSRs.

A waypoint feature is quite different than gameplay fragmentation.
It was more an observation on fragmentation of features. Lets say the feature is locked to a specific playlists, but the majority of the other playlists stay vanilla, then will the majority hinder the feature that has been added to specific lists? In this case either go big or dont try it at all. Its all speculative of course, but I hate to see it just become some throw away feature and because of that become niche and eventually 343 doesnt even try to update or refine it.

Wow, these settings are pretty sweet. Lockout Ball with predictable personal ordnance. Nice.

Populations of ranked compared to social in every game ever shows that it is a niche feature, which is probably why it's a waypoint feature and not in-game. Also consider that the majority of players probably don't visit waypoint to look at stats.
