I really liked Standoff not sure why but its just a good fun map. Raise the centre hill abit more and alter the bases and it would be a fantastic BTB map/Squad Slayer map

Have you installed the Extended Cut?

I'm on Halo 3 again, people get on!
That ability made the game, if you think it was annoying, then you just needed to get better at using it and fighting against players that used it well.

1 inch = 2.54 centimeters = 0.0254 meters
So halo?
Mmm, that gave me nerd chills!
I can agree with that.
Hate is a strong word. It was just annoying for the reasons posted above.
I feel that I know too much. I really do.
Shadowrun revolves around teleport. I don't see how you love the game while hating that ability.

Teleport ruins everything. See Diablo 2 post Enigma.
Alabama or Atlanta Braves? Figuring out with the A is for.
Fuck both of them. Need people for arena.
Jr's don't get a second chance. It's sort of like being in your probation period at work.
hey QT pie
agree - even Sub Zero teleport in Mortal Kombat was terrible

You people and your weird metric systems partially based on an official unit of mass that is actually losing mass.

I caught this post before the edit. Then I refreshed and say the bold and it made me feel as though I should listen to it.

I plan on doing a couple of games of Halo 3 around 8pm EST if anyone can get on then.
It's for Atlanta Braves.
I don't think I could put an Alabama 'A' in my avatar after listening to my Tuscaloosan roommate's trash talk last football season.

Zealot is a horrible map. That's all I have to say.

Ah, gotcha. I'm from Birmingham...hate Alabama, too, but a BIG Chipper fan.
On a related note, half of Shadow's team can't play until after the deadline, and Krispy can't play on my team. What should we do?

lol was just gonna make that comparison - From what I read, Over just dug that hole right to China..
Nope, I want to experience it in all it's mediocrity.
Damn it. When are they available after the deadline?
Or alternates would work as well I guess, if everyone is in agreement with it.

Get two more and then it'll be an even fight
I'll play alone as Krispy's team.

Don't do it. I finished it with the Extended Cut first and was satisfied. Watched the endings without it, can see why people were bummed.
MP was kind of cool I guess.
Yes. Played the Single player through twice in a row. It's awesome on PC.

You're a horrible person for saying such a thing
I really don't see what people see in it. Sure it's one of the better maps in Reach, but Isolation would be a good map by Reach standards. It's horrible. All you do is walk around in a pack of three or four, chuck grenades around curves, and you can win pretty easily. There's no such thing as a long range DMR battle on it because the sightlines are terrible.
It's devoid of complex strategy simply because of how simple its map design is. A majority of the map goes unused, much like many of the other maps in Reach.

Youuu will be...youu will be
That's a fair fight.
I need to play some multiplayer to max out my galaxy readiness, but of course, there's like 3 dlc packs i have to download first. Ugh, won't be finishing it until tonight. I may end up getting the extended cut, not sure.
I liked it for what it was: a mindless, gorgeous shoot em up. It has serious framerate issues, though.

Yep, incredibly dull. Just don't see the appeal at all.
110% AGREE.
BROFIST ACHIEVED +100
I must be the only person who thinks that 90% of "Nu-Who" before Moffat took over was dreck. Aside from (mostly Moffat-written) episodes it often veered too often into "I'm a bitchy time lord" and didn't really succeed into breaking free of the 60s-80s camp problem that to a degree was also Star Trek's issue with translating to the modern era.
Moffat is a good writer and a great showrunner, and I think the fifth season was a great intersection of good standalone episodes brought together with an interesting running thread. It's really a fairy tale, not hard sci-fi (as if DW was ever hard)--but it pulls it off perfectly. It's fun, dammit.
I do agree with you guys that the sixth season wasn't that great. I think it had to do with Moffat sort of repeating himself and falling into the same issues as the later-series Tennant episodes--Woe is me, I'm going to complain about my problems. Turning the Silence into an army dedicated to killing the Doctor seemed anticlimactic, and the whole resolution and "Doctor Who?" moment I pretty much think jumped the shark. You can treat time travel flippantly, but if that undermines any logic and suspense you're trying to build you can't use it as your escape hook.
