It's a slippery slope. Can't really expect to say whatever you want and go "jokes, man" when someone takes issue.

So the Halo 4 news just took a nose dive right back to another blackout?
I trust 343, that's all I need until release.

Shadowrun was one of the better MP games this gen, console wise. The PC port of it controlled like a fat pig. But the console version was awesome.

Frankie said that there would be one or two little things before E3. We don't know when those will be yet.
I played some more Super Slayer today and man is it rare to get a non-forge map in that playlist. That inspired me to carve the following into my calf:
"Things I Loved About Squad Slayer (In No Particular Order)"
1. No Armor Lock
2. Very little gray
3. TU settings
...there might have been more, but I passed out from the blood loss/frustration of playing Super Slayer. And pardon the pun, but I also badly miss bleedthrough.

I had some good times on Shadowrun back in the day. Being on a team full of Ninja Trolls provided some of the best times I've ever had on Live.
Let's guess guys! For fun!
- Armor Lock 2.0
- Aim Down Sights
- Nuke killstreak
- No shields in vanilla Halo 4
Fuck ninja trolls.
There's money in that.

Ninja Trolls were so beast in pub matches. I had my best match ever with one. 32 kills on 8v8 Poco Raid. It was a massacre.
Shadowrun is clearly one of the best MP shooters ever but it should have been a $15 XBLA title.
Playing people at the office is not even close to the same thing as playing in real MM. First day Reach is out, people are abusing the low G area of Zealot, obviously no one at the office was lame enough to do it. This is why you can't test stuff like that only in the work environment, the plebs of the internet will always try to cheese every thing possible.
Sure ya can, doesn't mean everyone will be ok with it though. The stuff people usually take issue with on message boards is usually always miniscule in the grand scheme of things anyways.
I read this exchange five or six times thinking you were talking about this.
Which made the context a little weird. Were you saying that Stinkles is good at woodworking? Banana stands are useful, and you are saying Stinkles is also useful? That you like bananas and making banana stands is a euphemism for being awesome? And Stinkles was saying, hey, banana stands are big business. Gotta make a living somehow.
Then it clicked. Oh.
It's been a long day.
That "cl" in "clicked" looks like a "d"

My pre-E3 info prediction: Multiplayer clip with new features that we don't already know about. Speculation and naysaying will ensue, hype will skyrocket/plummet, and clarification will be given at E3. Clip may include a new vehicle.
Among many other things, I expect clan info at E3. I feel like E3 will be the single biggest moment in the Halo 4 hype machine, and Microsoft's best opportunity to steal attention away away from other competitive FPSs. Clan support and other social features would go a long way in getting people to play Halo 4, and to get their friends to play Halo 4.
And I expect some kind of new campaign teaser at E3, for sure.

Haha, awesome.don't mind me...
Play MLG.
Oh snap! what's that? Managing matchmaking is more complex than NeoGAF armchair game designers would have you believe? NO WAY.
Hire FyreWulff.
Hyrewulff. Lol
But if you hired him, we would have never gotten the TU.

Its not more complicated.
Testing it and getting it into MM is. Thats also their job though and they should know how to do it so thats completely irrelevent.
The fact is their knowledge just isn't there. They don't know what good Halo is, it comes from tons and tons of playtime that they just don't seem to have. A good comprehension on what changes mean and how casual and competitive play differ.
All of which quite a bit of people here know much better than Shishka and its now apparent NinjaOnFire also knew.

You just hate it because the people there actually put up a fight and you can't increase your perfection count.

Nearing 100 hours in Skyrim. Such a great game. Hit 110 in Oblivion, and that was after the DLC.
No I just don't think Reach allows for flexibility in terms of gameplay customization. Changing any of the variables calls for all of the variables to be changed which is why ZB doesn't work and MLG is a bandaid.You just hate it because the people there actually put up a fight and you can't increase your perfection count.

Holy shit, the T Bag Hero has me in tears.
Not at all, the only bad thing about MLG is the health pack glitch, aside from that, it's really good.
