Man that sucks. Hope that guy a speedy recovery and his career isnt ended from that.
Oddone all I mean is ranks add three areas for play, casuals, competitive players, and elite players. Really good players dont bother playing down at the 1-35 ranks after a few games. That leaves this safe haven for people to learn halo at their own pace.
The no social/ranked function is counter productive to catering to casuals. It gives them no motivation to get better while giving no way for good players to not get matched against them.
At the end of the day you have to think of the user experience. I can tell you why most people quit.
Last time I played I only got on because my old college roommate texted me and told me to get on. We played a bunch of games and he got frustrated and went to bed while I went positive every game. If we could have gone into a social playlist where we werent facing as seasoned players we would have fared better and had a better time.

The kids makes jokes about Rihanna getting beat by Chris Brown. We shouldn't expect much from him.

Because it's my fault I didn't know how offended people can get on here?
Ow, I know how that feels...
Same thing happened to me in grade school while jumping on a trampoline.
Fuck, just tried out BTB on Exile. While I like the fact the gauss is nerfed, blue team gets shit on by Red. They spawn safely in cover, and the only way to get good shots at them is to go on their side of the map.
But literally two guys had spartan lasers, one had a beam rifle, it's like one sided heavies almost.

That looks even more horrible than I imagined.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
Perspective and self-awareness, how do they work?
I can't believe you've missed the point again.
Sure you can.

Coming from a guy who thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.. Darth Vader maybe, but the Evil Empire?!
Wellllllllll I guess you're right.

Hire juices.
The problem is that if they were to add visible ranks to H4, they also have to overhaul the whole MP from the ground up. Their basic setup now is just not going to mesh at all. Even if they put in it, this basic gameplay systems are still going to frustrate people and ranks will not make it feel any better.
I rather they just have the balls to put in pre-set loadouts, pre-set player setting (everybody on an even playing field), static power weapons spawns, actual weapon placed on the maps, weapons despawning decreased and more of those things in all the playlists before they even put in a visible ranking system. The actual experience has to be rock solid, if that is good then the extra visible ranking system does what it needs to do keep people coming back and adds much more to the user experience.

That's why Halo 5 better be all of this, it provides a much more controlled and predictable experience for them while giving the players equality.

Damn man I hope he recovers. A leg joke would be in poor taste even for me.
Passing kidney stones will hurt you worse.

Should we do that before or after the LiveLeak marathon?
can we stop talking about that or at least recommending ways to find more pics? That's more gross than weapon attachments in Halo.

I didn't drink milk growing up much either. By the time high school came around, I had brittle ass bones. Now I drink 3 glasses of skim milk everyday, take protein after gym and whatever calcium is in Animal Pak's.

I wanna buy so many Arcade Games but I only have 2320 points D:
SSX, Trials Evolution, and Terraria all look so good.
Well, Terraria just looks interesting, don't know how the game plays, haven't seen gameplay, anyone on HaloGAF played it? Is it any good?

Early reports are saying it's only a broken leg. Still sucks, but it's certainly better than an ACL tear.

Truth. Mid bone snaps have great recovery rates. Fucking up joints, tendons, and ligaments (rotator cuff ex.)...RIP.
Tommy John injuries are tight though. Coming back chuckin.

You can get Terraria on PC for 10 bucks. It's similar to a sidescrolling Minecraft, I think. Not sure how else to describe it.
Terraria's really good imo, I played it all the time with friends on PC and it's way crazier than Minecraft is. If there's a trial I'd recommend downloading that first to see if you like it because it's hard for me to describe it. I need to get Trials: Evolution too.
Yeah, I've had pretty thin bones for awhile. It's made doing marathons and long distance running a pain in the ass because my legs start hurting.
edit: And I walk into my parents house to see them, my 4 year old cousin, and my uncle listening and dancing to Gangam Style.
Why PSY?
Ouch!
Reminds me of when my two brothers joined the high school football team. Very first play of the very first practice one brother runs into the other. One breaks his tibia, the other his collar bone. They don't even watch football now.
I was wondering how long it would take. That's the exact map i had envisioned when they said Timberland would have forge trees.
It's already in the playlist. Go look.

I want it on Xbox 360,
Don't mind paying $5 more.I need 80 more points to buy it on Xbox, lol. Just bought Trials Evolution.
SSX or Terraria now, hard choice.
Is Terraria fun to play by yourself? I'm sure I'll like the game, just not sure if it's meant to be played with Friends. Is it fun by yourself?

I just offered to trade someone 400 Microsoft Points for something, if they end up refusing or not responding I'll PM you a hundred of them so you can get whichever you'd like. I've heard the new SSX sucks compared to the old ones though, so I'd recommend Terraria.

I'll get Terraria because I'm closer to that then SSX (SSX is 1600 and I only have 1120)
If you do send me some points I'd really appreciate it. Thanks Ghazi

Dude I see this thing at work.
Now what the fuck does that mean?? And it's kinda ironic because it doesn't have the head part, but it says head on its chest unlike the Destiny logo.
