Side note, I'm done being cynical. Heckfu made a good point earlier about me being a dude at a restaurant who got bad food, was refunded, but stuck around complaining. It's a waste of effort seeing as I don't own the game. Hell, my Xbox is in a bag right now. If the next TU is flop status, expect me to revert though lol.

I think I found a temporary fix/workaround for whenever the game randomly disconnects you from the server.

You just navigate to "Settings and Files", then to "Network". There, select something other than "Xbox Live" (like System Link or My Xbox 360). Then, change it back to "Xbox Live".

Works like a charm :)

If anyone would have told me that I'd be popping Halo Reach back in my Xbox because it is more fun than Halo 4, I would have laughed in said person's face.

Reach...lol, y'all crazy.

1-Flag
No auto pick up in objective
No waypoint over the flag carrier
Static weapon spawns
Xs when you die

To name a few things. No melee bleedthrough sucks, though. And movement. And bloom.

...

Yeah okay, it kinda blows, but it's better than Halo 4.

And I put in all those metaphors. I should repost that, brb.

Okay, so let me get this straight:

We've all walked in to the opening of a new restaurant. It's a spiritual successor to an older restaurant you used to love and eat at almost weekly. The place is under new management and while there are some familiar faces most of these people are new and different. You've eagerly been awaiting your chance to eat here because you loved the meals at the old place and these people have given you certainty that these meals will be just as good if not better than the old ones.

You sit down and look around you. You see some buddies you used to eat with and wave to them. They wave back. You can see the look of excitement on his face and you wonder if it's the same as yours. A friend of yours is sitting a little ways off to your left. He wasn't so sure of this new place because he didn't completely trust some of the staff and the advertisements were lackluster. The place looks nice but they can't think of how anyone would be able to match the older restaurant with this new staff or methodology.

Orders for drinks are taken and the staff disappears for some time. You ask when you're going to get the meal you ordered, but the waiter only says "It's on its way, trust us."

Suddenly, it's time. The chef himself appears from the kitchen to present the inaugural meal of this restaurant and you can't wait. He opens reveals the plate and puts in in front of you and... you're very underwhelmed. The plates and maybe the bread are even from this restaurant. The steak you ordered is an undercooked microwave meal from a grocery down the street, the mashed potatoes are imitation. They're cold to the touch and have obviously been out of the microwave for some time. You also have a side of fries from Burger King, still in the paper holster with their logo on it. You look around to see that the staff has started filing out of the restaurant. You manage to flag one down to ask what's going on and why they're all leaving. "We're going on vacation," he says. "It's almost the holidays, you know."

"But who's going to get my drink?" your skeptical friend asks. "I could maybe wash this down if I could get a drink."

"Soon, trust us," the staff replies as he turns and makes his way towards the door. People begin picking at their food and most appear to be disappointed. You're not horribly thrilled but you're glad that someone opened the old restaurant back up. Your furious friend is shouting to the staff and slamming on the table, your excited friends from earlier are cramming the food down and asking for seconds, and you look down and just can't seem to finish it.

You look down to your phone and start watching trailers for movies while you think. Twitchcops, a buddy cop movie staring Cosmo and Siglemic as new partners in a police department in downtown LA trying to save their dog, Frankie. It looks interesting, maybe you'll watch it later.

A look up to the side of the table shows a group wearing matching jackets for some sport you've hear of. "We were told the 'Bacon Double Guiltyburger' was on the way," one of them says to the waiter. "Where are our orders?"

"Oh, we don't have them right now," the waiter says. "We have the ingredients in the kitchen if you'd like to make it yourself, though."

"BRO THIS SHIT IS AMAZING!" you hear one of your friends shout as he highfives one of the group that he came with. Your furious friend gets up from the table to hunt down some of the staff, and you start poking the leathery meat-thing with your plastic spork. You would have liked a metal fork, but it doesn't really matter to you. You're just glad the restaurant is open.

Back to the phone. You see that there's a showing for Twitchcops in about forty five minutes in a theater not too far from here. A glance to the side shows some of the patrons at the bar watching a sport they all seem to hate. It came as a part of a package deal for the restaurant's parent company, so it's showing this new sport instead of the one the old owners used to show.

You look up to see that your furious friend is actively starting fist fights with the staff who are left somewhat dazed as your excited friends are simultaneously ripping down the pants of the staff and attempting to put their penises in their mouths. You don't understand anything, but you'd like some A1 or something with your leathery thing, which is something most places have, but no one is listening to you. You can't tell if they can't hear you, or if they don't care, or if they're avoiding you because for some reason they don't have A1.

The police arrive and cuff your friend for assault, but it appears as though your excited friends have finished fellating the staff and resumed their seats at the table, so they aren't arrested. You get up and leave with someone else at the table. You look at each other but neither of you say a word, your eyes have said everything that needs to be said. You flag a cab to go to the theater and briefly, if only for a second, you remember that you never got your drink.

Welcome to Halo 4.

Me - I'd like to order a cheeseburger.
Waiter - what would like on it?
Me - just a plain cheeseburger, no veggies please.
Waiter - I'll see what we can do.
*10 minutes pass
Waiter - here's your cheeseburger.
Me - umm, there's veggies on here?
Waiter - oh, well it's still a cheeseburger.
Me - well I didn't want any veggies.
Waiter - you can just try removing them.
Me - I can't, it looks like someone fused them to the burger.
Waiter - if you don't mind waiting, I'll see if my chefs can get a fix worked out.
Me - I am kinda in a hurry, not to mention the fact that the last restaurant ruined my cheeseburger as well.
Waiter - well if you just trust us and stick around we will cook another one up for you.

If you don't have the game why would you revert?

Yeah, sorry, Boneyard is like bottom tier map quality. The only half-decent BTB map in Reach is Timberland. Oh yeah, Highlands is okay, too.

Great OP, even though the last OP and thread was a classic, it's good to see this. I bet Deputy Moonman is also jumping for joy.

I like those, too. Especially Ridgeline/Timberland.

By the way, Halo Reach Grifball>Halo 4 Grifball.
