Feel the pain. Feel the pain! It is known for months that the movie will be released in August here in Germany. Totally sucks. The reason is the Soccer European Championship(at least here in Germany). WTF.

You would have been proud of me earlier this year Gui, I had some fat cow idiot sociology professor who didn't realize in Brazil, Portuguese is the main language.

She was talking about an article from Brazil and said she didn't understand Spanish so she didn't know what it said exactly. I stopped her and corrected her.

Then she said "What's the difference?" (between Spanish and Portuguese)

I then made the smart-ass comment that well they speak Spanish in Spain, and Portuguese in Portugal...

Yeah, that was at the beginning of the semester ( I corrected her all semester long) and it kind of reflected in my paper grades, haha. Oh well.

I thought of you while I was fighting the good fight.

Ironically, this class was "race and ethnicity," haha.

Somebody voting to try a map once to try it out isn't going to be deciding a map's fate. They know how to interpret the data.

Also, just for the record: Ellis confirmed that 343 can see votes that failed.

So if you vote for KotH and say Oddball wins, they still see your KotH vote on the backend. So vote for what you want.

Unless you're following specific player trends, you're hardly going to be able to analyze anything. For example I will vote anything over Uncaged, but if I get the 343i optimal matchmaking experience[tm] then I'll vote DMRs.

They're going to notice you're not voting for Uncaged when it's presented, and notice if a bunch of other people are not voting for it when presented.

What Halo 4 should do is take a note from Section 8: Prejudice where you can assign your preferred gametypes, then it takes everyone's gametype preferences and weighs them for the objectives it'll start.

The Halo 4 method would be different though in that it'd learn your preference over time, so let's say if you vote for Slayer DMRs a lot, it'll notice you like that and add bonus weight to that gametype when the lobby comes up. So if your entire team goes in and votes DMRs a lot, DMRs will get more weighting. And if your opponents have voted for DMRs a lot, you'll basically be near guaranteed a DMR gametype.

Same with maps, if it notices you voting for Warhouse when offered, then your presence in the lobby will influence Warhouse being offered more to you in MM.

Honestly, I'm for a SC2-esque voting system. You have 3 vetoes. Pick the 3 maps that you don't want and there's a great chance you won't get them. If you do a ranking system of picking your favorite and placing a rank one each one, you'll end up getting the same maps eventually.

That's why it'd just be a small bonus weight. You'd definitely have to avoid the single map scenario, which is why I'd also have it to where only games of a certain minimum length would count (so people can't boost a map up ) and so on.

+/- 2% would probably be enough to have a noticable effect without matchmaking devolving into 2 maps.

I'm about 80 000 cR away from Legend and getting my mutton chops on my Security. Who wants to hop onto Team Objective and objective hold while winning to net me some max credits?
