I just got back into playing a week or two ago. I had like a couple month's absence. Like riding a bicycle though.

Hey, bro. You should get on. I need a doubles partner and no one is on.
What's your tag?
My k/d atm is 1.77 for all around competitive.

HBO + HaloGaf= Epic BTB Games! Granted the players on the other team were pretty crappy, but i had fun, thanks Gui and Hyper.
P.s. I made a Bungie tribute today over at HBO if you haven't checked it out yet, please do so!

Saw that treath, pretty horrible news but I don't really see the reason for a ban, except that there were enough similair responses (I think).

Precisely the reason I generally stay away from OT now. You can't go in there without seeing disturbing and depressing news on the first page. I'd rather not have that shit bring down my day, k thnx.Hitmonchan107 said:

If you save that film and let me download it I'd love to make it more cinematic. This goes for everyone I gotta put my capcard to use somehow.dc89 said:
If you have an AMAZING halo moment and want it made awesome with more camera angles, give me the link to the file.

I noticed last night I barely have a 1 K/D with plasma nades, I REALLY hate people who pick the NR loadout and then don't even attempt to shoot you, they just run straight into you and chuck some plasmas. No idea why that loadout still exists, just change them to frags, problem solved.
edit: I get on, everyone gets off, fuuu.

Probably not.
Although HaloGAF Customs will be returning next week, for sure. It's been a while. Too long. Plans are afoot.... =)
How is that a surprise? Sexist!! Except for the random girlfriend being forced to play who doesn't even understand the dual stick concept,Tashi0106 said:
most girls one comes across online on Halo are pretty good.
they're all super hot too... *clears throat, puts on a cool face* sup halogaf ladies

edit-
moments after I badmouthed the AR earlier, I go super-clutch with it on a ranked 3v3 slayer game on the pit. The 3 guys were in our green box, they had rocket launcher, sniper and sword, ahead 48 to 46, and waiting to spawn kill my 2 dead teammates, with only the silly AR in my hands I throw a grenade into our green box off the yellow wall just as I make the crouch-jump to it from platform, Rocks and Snipes shields are down, Sword is hiding in the box, Snipe makes a run for the other green box through camo hallway, I ignore him because there's a rocket coming my way, I jump, it takes my shields but I kill him with the AR before he shoots again, as I land I throw a grenade through camo and get the Sniper guy, crouching Sword guy finally emerges point blank in the box as I jump backwards and he fuckin misses as I unload the rest of the AR clip into him and knowing it will be a while before he can swing again I go in for the safe beatdown. We're now 49-48 and grab the win. Felt good brah.. Why am I typing all this? Because I lost the clip after forgetting to save it before switching games.... fuck!! I wanted to troll halogaf with a gif of that play..

Felt the exact same way. We grew up in the right decade.GhaleonEB said:
Good lord, BTB All Stars is the least fun I've had in Reach, without a doubt. Two games of BTB Snipers was enough to drive me away from that playlist for the rest of it's life.

Playing with input lag varies from irksome to enraging. Your experience is not the same as the other players' experiences. People vote for Limited to play a more traditional game of Firefight, and to actually see some vehicles.Ramirez said:
I wonder if/when we're going to see them answer any questions from the Megalo Q&A thread on bnet:

I'm assuming that it'll be part of one of the final Weekly Updates or something.
Although I'm now convinced the answer to Question VI is that the scripting engine shuts off once the Game Over event fires, because if if you're in a laggy game of Haloball and the Game Over occurs while one of the skull fountains is going off, all the skulls will roll down onto the ground and stay there.

I may have asked too many questions

What the fuck made them think BTB Snipers is a gametype worth playing?

I get where this guy is coming from, I really do.
But what most of the people like him don't get is its not the DMR's fault, it's that everything else in Reach is near useless. AR and Pistol can only kill one person per clip. Put needler and repeater (before venting) in this also. But the needler can be used well. It's weakness.
Then you have random weapons like the plasma rifle and spiker that serve no purpose. The focus rifle isn't a long range weapon, it's a long range pestering gun. Sure that's a role but it's a stupid one.
Weapons need to have some depth to them and need to be able to be fine on their own. Here's to hoping plasma stun comes back!

True enough. All gametypes are made even worse by the maps. Reach has the worst big team maps (and other size maps for that matter) ever. Shit makes me miss even the crappiest maps from H3.
Man, it's hard to do anything in MLG when it might as well be 4on3.

I weep. I CANNOT play this game with randoms, I used to play Halo 3 all day by myself, but I can't stomach more than maybe 3 games of Reach before I want to break my Xbox...It's not even regular MP, I got disgusted with the amount of idiocy in the FF playlists that I gave up after a couple of games there too.
Tried playing Arena, 1st game was red bars the whole game, people from Canada, Colombia, and Mexico in it. 2nd game was on Select, probably one of the worst Forge maps I've ever had to endure, forge maps have no place in the arena, unless it's the MLG ones, because it's quite obvious they are the only people who can make a decent forge map that's not an exact remake.
