Yea it was probably objective gametype though.

Still...he hardly did better than just not even playing...thats not too great when your # of kills isn't much higher than not actually handling the controller in a game. Hell he probably would have died less not playing...Bad Trueskillz

Well me and Plywood ran great games last night. We went 9 for 10. Trueskill took a vacation last night, I think we only had two close games the rest were blowouts.

Completely refreshing playing with others of high skill and not having to put up with randoms.

Damn. Everyone on my friends list is playing Blops? Gross. Reach is at least better than that pile.

Also, Dax, I seem to remember you saying you didn't play multiplayer games where you shoot other humans. Did you give up on that already or were you just trying to suck up to Ghaleon at the time? lol ;P

Congrats Sik!

I don't want to sound like a broken record about this true skill stuff but last night in MLG we were rolling with a party of 3 (true skill matched us with a good player with a mic so we invited him) Anyway, us 3 matched with a guy who went 1 and 28...let that sink in for a minute. 1 kill, 28 deaths. -________-

Overall though running 3's or more is the way to go. We were actually winning some games.
Click to expand...

Holy crap.

Why is matchmaking putting those kind of people into your games? That doesn't make sense, he should be getting matched with crap people. I guess the average MLG population is so low that matchmaking cant really get good skill matches going?

Its just as bad (if not worse) on Black Ops. Im consistently going like 20 kills 5 deaths yet everyone on my team ends up like 5 kills 20 deaths. So I get rained on my helicopters and we lose. :( Reach... when that classic playlist is out, im coming back!

When Hog race comes out I have to try that lol.

I see you guys online every night, but assume you don't want extras in your regular crew. If you do, feel free to shoot me an invite from time to time if you have room. (If you don't mind a sarcastic anchor around your ankle, that is).

Nah dude, we always want extras. I think we usually don't invite you because we do Team Slayer and Team Objective, and I thought you were mainly a BTB guy. But by the end of the night we're usually up to an Invasion- or BTB-sized party anyway. I'll send you an invite tonight if I see you on.

Same. If you guys see me online at that time, no matter what game, throw me an invite and I'll be happy to join.

In Reach, I don't have a strong preference for the playlists. I think Reach's BTB is a pretty big step down from Halo 3, and more in line with the other stuff. I think I've played more Multi Team than BTB in Reach.

That said, playing with friends makes every game type more fun, and most nights I'd rather play at least a few games with a party than not. Hit me up. :)


The more I look over the BWU list of playlists, the more I can't wait for Tuesday to roll. Between the gaggle of Score Attack variants, Limited and Arcade, I'll be set for months.

Out of interest (Dani) are you guys running customs tonight? Im tempted to join for a bit, but to be honest im not sure I want to jump into matchmaking just yet, customs gametypes always seem crazy.

BTB would be much better if Bungie would weigh down Slayer and basically remove Headhunter because that shit shows up far too much. That's all you see in the voting phase. You'll be lucky if Multi-CTF shows up. Plus the absence of Assault, makes me weep.

Sometimes, being assassinated is annoying. Sometimes, it makes you want to scream in anger.

Sometimes, however, it does not.

I've got about five maps downloaded from the b.net Community Cartographers group. Mostly 4v4 maps, and one BTB. So if Dani's not on to host Oh hai, I can help toss those in the mix as well so I can shuttle feedback over to the group.

I just got Sequestered (formerly Sandybridge) up and running as well, though the kill volumes and spawns are rough around the edges.

Sorry Lazslo, too late for me.

Was just trying to finish a l4d2 campaign on Expert. That game makes me cry sometimes =(

Have fun.

Blops, Reach and ME2. I play Gears, but not all the time despite being madly in love with it. Gears is like a fine wine to me. :p

April more than likely, but that puts it out of interest for me unless AL ends up out of TS.
