Aren't the ranked playlists DLC required? I know Social Slayer isn't so that would explain why it rarely appears.

And another! Team Slayer on Sandbox vetoed for Team BRs on Citadel. 
There are a ton of dlc maps showing up because of ODST.

Why?
The reaction to the ME3 ending(s) is the dumbest shit I've seen roll through the gaming community/press in years.

It's quite hilarious. I've never seen a community so unified in its hatred for something (totally deserved).
Edit: Yes, Homeboyd, it is.
The charity is great, but like Ghal said.. the ending thing.. good Lord.
Is it really that bad?
:lol well ok then, carry on
People must be sacrificed.
At least the Mass Effect franchise produced some entertainment.
Super Slayer is infuriating.
Awful fucking guests for teammates, nonsensical host choices, numerous host switches, TEAMS against randoms. Shitty low population count since the populace doesn't know what the fucking playlist is about.
FUCKING SWORDBASE AND PINNACLE TU

Just search the gamertag "MLG Gametypes" in the File Share and download all the gametypes and maps that are in the file share, that's the best you are going to get. Or just take your friends into the MLG playlist under the Community section.
WHY IS THIS A THING
Oh. Maybe I'll just clean up the old one then.
Fixed?
You really need to learn how to reword yourself without coming off as an ass.
Shishka know about this?
And here is why TrueSkill fails. Each game should have its own skill system(which includes custom metrics) that accurately reflects player ability in the game.
Haha not even joking, you just became one of my favorite Halogaffers.
Just kidding, I love you guys equally.
Maybe.
Halo 4 seriously needs to have an absolutely mandatory "YOU CANNOT PLAY ON LIVE WITHOUT WATCHING THIS" video come up when you first go into MM. It'd contain playlist information, basics of the gametype, etc.
Also, I'll raise your swordbase match and raise you one flag CTF on Pinnacle. 5v5 on a map the size of a closet that has rockets + extremely short distance between bases = fun for absolutely no one.
You have Halo 3 Mythic to thank for that.
And then everyone would find the performance metrics and boost them in each game for maximum rank.
Living Dead/Grifball K/D padding on an entirely different level.

I've read those before, try not get all in a huff for once.
I'm saying that I don't believe it's entirely Bungie's fault (largely though). Similar issues happen with Trueskill in the Gears series.
If those performance metrics are well designed, that will just mean they are trying hard and playing to win games. Sounds good to me.

Interesting, but I wonder if they are taking some info and making it into something more. That said, I wouldn't be opposed to fight forerunners, as long as they aren't all "evil". I would really like to see some complexity and more grey areas than past Halo's. Whatever we are fighting though, I doubt it is as simple as just this.
That is so awesome. Its crazy how many things get cut from game sometimes.
BTB Heavies has gone too far:
Fingers crossed.
And that is simply amazing. Halo 4 should have some "fun" vehicles like these. Or hell, the Chopper.

Before you read too much into that, I think Dax is agreeing that the ending is piss-poor, not necessarily that Bioware should change it.

just got done playing for like 2 hours, sorry
Preferential preferences!
Also, wonder if the customizable loadouts would allow for base player traits and damage modifers (for customs, put your knives away).
One loadout with higher damage output but slower base player speed. Another with lower grav effects but 3/4 health. Things along those lines. Again, customs options...
Customs.

Because the reality of that is hard to achieve?
... so they empower the customer?
You have to make a tough choice for better or worse.
Some people want to get into a game as soon as possible
-therefore be looser with skill restrictions
-therefore be looser with connection restrictions
Some people want the best, most reliable connection
-therefore be looser with skill restrictions
-therefore the player is willing to wait longer to find a better quality connected match
Some people want the best skill suitability in a match
-therefore be looser with connection restrictions
-therefore the player is willing to wait longer to find a better quality connected match
The option is there, because it's very challenging to have all three at once, especially in smaller playlists.
BEES?
Lol I understand. More wishful thinking than anything, really.
The algorithims algorithmitize algorithmically to change the algocode algonomically thus allowing for more algos.
That is to say buttons don't do shit captain.

I was thinking about this community.
Gob's not on board.
Totally OT, but saw this over at a b.net group. Amazing stuff:
