Does it matter if people boost or buy accounts? If they're bad they're going to lose anyway, no matter what their rank is. And a 50 in MLG still meant a lot so the boosting and account selling didn't take away from that. Also, the vast majority of the players had a legitimate rank so it hardly impacted your experience.

Exactly. Casuals may experience one or two games where they get shit on by boosters and then those boosters rank up and move on to higher levels. A lot better than anything Reach has to offer and now apparently Halo 4.

To this day I can still search on my H3 TD's 50 and match legitimate 50's almost every match.

Why punish the majority of people actually trying to progress through the ranking system because a handful of 12 years old's boost accounts? Doesn't make sense. They suck anyway and the people that boost their accounts are playing the game. Who cares?

PEOPLE WANT NUMBERED RANKS IN HALO MP. Regardless of the repercussions. MAKE IT HAPPEN 343.

Halo MP without numbered ranks isn't real Halo MP. A million other people feel the same way. Why can't they understand that?

I wanted a game to relax and have fun in, so I hopped in Firefight Doubles...And my partner quits from the get go. The cherry on top. 20 minutes of bliss.

Hahaha. Love it.

And yes, Avengers is the best comic book movie ever. If I could just go back in time and show that movie to my 12 year old self... I think I would have died from joy.

Damn, I need to see it. Gonna drag my partner to it. She's not into superheroes per se, but she can appreciate the nerdiness and action.

I really like that I totally ignore movie news. Avoiding the hype train makes the release dates come so much faster. I had no clue Prometheus was coming out next month until today. I thought it was gonna be a holiday release!

Now if only I could do the same thing with video games.

 

[Ramirez]

Man, you guys need to start playing MLG, regular Reach sucks so much dick, ugh.

 

[VivaciousJazzy]

Your avatar makes it seem if Charmander is either creeped out or turned on by the gif, but can't decide.

More like hes looking at it disapprovingly.

Its where the cool kids are...and the not so cool kids.

So with zero bloom slayer being gone can we get some zero bloom game types in Double team? It would make that playlist a lot more appealing to me.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Man, you guys need to start playing MLG, regular Reach sucks so much dick, ugh.

If I'm a terrible player, will playing MLG solo be fun for me if I don't like Reach?

 

[Franklinator]

More like hes looking at it disapprovingly.

Yeah, I'd say that Charmander does not approve.

edit: In addition it looks like he does not approve of any of the posts I make.

If I'm a terrible player, will playing MLG solo be fun for me if I don't like Reach?

From my small experience playing MLG, no. The only time I can have fun with it is if I'm with others.

If you ever need an extra, hit me up. I'm not awesome but I'm better than most randoms!

 

[Ramirez]

Probably not. I feel like people who are really good at the regular game are going to get smacked around for a while in MLG until they adjust to the new settings, but if you're bad at the regular game, I can't really see you ever being competent enough in MLG to enjoy it, I could be wrong though.

Playing MLG exclusively over the past month and then going back to moving like a turtle, bloom, radar, terrible maps, annoying AA's like AL & Camo, etc. just wow...ugh.

 

[Franklinator]

Getting beat up on is why I don't play MLG. I really wish another playlist had MLG settings so I could play on settings I like and win at the same time.

 

[Steelyuhas]

We gotta skype soon. I have GoT questions and complaints

It's different, PANIC!

Yeah, anytime.

 

[Ramirez]

In our last game, I was reminded of why I hate bloom so much. I'm fighting a guy, he ducks into cover as a buddy rounds the corner, my reticule is big by this point, and by the time it shrinks the guy already has 2-3 shots on me, leaving me with absolutely no chance whatsoever, truly groundbreaking game design.

Hey GAF wanna play Reach? :_\

A month from tonight E3 will be over and we will be full of Halo4 goodness

I was talking about Game of Thrones, but I guess that works for halo 4 as well lol.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Yea some of the stuff towards the end tonight was getting rough, especially with the weird latency (I was host) but none of my stuff was hitting even though normally it would. Like I saw a guy armor lock but he was still standing up and shooting me and then I got spammed a few times yet my bloom was way out.

I had a lot more fun with Tashi in MLG earlier today. It was tough though I'm not practiced in that playlist at all and I was struggling, I think I did OK though for not playing much MLG.

Still wish they had ranks though we got TROUNCED one game in MLG none of us could barely move before getting swarmed again. Seriously outclass that one game.

Oh lets discuss these new maps that are all over MM. They need to go. They are all so bad. So very very bad. Just labrynths of HUGE grey'ness. I mean HUGE, everythings too big, theres no cover, no escape, no running the proportions are all off. Like why the hell is the hallway so long and high and who would ever make a building like that. Just dumb, dumb, shit maps. Boring to look at, boring to play. I can't go on enough about how they should all be removed. The last batch was MUCH better. Select, Kingdom, and Enclosed are all miles ahead, and thats not saying much because those weren't too great themselves. Its disgusting that these maps are in a AAA game title. They are so unofficial. Eww.

Hey Biggy, your friend is an asshole. I'm not going to play with someone who constantly berates me the entire time.

Blizzard announced features for the new SC2, Heart of the Swarm.

Multiplayer Resume on Replay.

As you watch a replay and come across a point where you messed up or wanted to take a different path you can jump in and play at that point. Either have someone play as your opponent or the AI takes over.

Mind
Fucking
*explosion*

Other features announced:

Clans
Unranked matchmaking
Worldwide play (also very big addition)

And some other shit.

Didn't know this until a few weeks ago, the Direwolves in Game of Thrones are based on a real, extinct species, the Dire wolf.

cookie cutter wolf:

Fenrir is the father of the wolves Sköll and Hati Hróðvitnisson, is a son of Loki, and is foretold to kill the god Odin during the events of Ragnarök, but will in turn be killed by Odin's son Víðarr.

That's Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome. Legend has it that wolves raised them and you can see them on Roma's soccer jerseys.
