I share just as much with HaloGAF as I do Facebook or Twitter, so I don't mind.

I don't really see anything wrong with it. Most of HaloGAF seem like pretty decent people and what better way of upgrading from "internet friends" to "actual friends."

I mean, these are the people I spend hours playing Halo with almost every night. I spend more time with some of the folks here than the vast majority of my FB friend list.

I can totally see why some people would be uncomfortable with it though.

Eh, I don't share anything on my FB that I wouldn't share on twitter or with y'all if we were talking in game or something, so I don't have too much of a prob adding 'randoms' ;p

343 please match guests with guests only please, and make trueskill actually work while you are at it.

Everyone on my roster was partied up tonight so I decided to play alone. That was a terrible idea. I went into Squad then looked at my laptop. I heard laughing so I looked up and saw a party of 4 and a random matched against me and a Corporal with 3 guests. They were commenting on how jacked it was and that I was probably pissed. I stayed to see how it would play out, but I should have just Dashboarded right when I looked up. The main guy has played 10 games and has a .51 K/D. I don't get it, I really don't. I am so disgusted right now, and I just keep shaking my head.

I suppose if I play alone I should avoid Squad, but the other options aren't great either. You really just can't play alone. :(

I'm a blow dealing kingpin billionaire here in southamerica. Ask leonfaria04 if you don't believe me, he owns a chain of hotels and malls here down south and does business with me often. Just because I like Halo doesn't mean I want you nerds seeing pictures of me sniffing lines out of the bodies of stunning looking latin women the night before.

edit- and I didn't make it clear on the post before this one but I was just talking about just me personally, wasn't saying that others shouldn't do it. Actually, that post of mine was pretty unnecessary tbqh.

I don't use Facebook for gaming stuff, but I'd really love some more HaloGAF people on Google+. I post about Halo pretty often.

Sorry about your immensely crappy game, Senador. I saw you online and was gonna invite you, but my buddy who just moved to Japan was playing with me, and we were caught up with chatting and donging.

^^ I'd be down for some cat and mouse! It looks really fun, and I wanna give it a go.

Eazy gettin' me all hot and bothered takin' objective holding literally.



I'm pretty sure I've gotten more kills with the flag in a single game before, this was just the first one in my game history. I was going to post about this earlier when the objective holding discussion was going on, but it slipped my mind and then the discussion went elsewhere, so I guess I'll just ask now:

Is it still a terrible thing to objective hold even if you are using it as a weapon and giving the other team a chance to kill you?

So, does this mean you're for, or against? /Dyack

I think it depends on what kind of mood I'm in while I'm playing. If the game is utterly boring and I want to kinda turn that around, then I'll try to get as many kills as I can with whatever, but then again I also do that when the kids on the other team are absolutely terrible and I feel like being a dick, so I'm not necessarily for or against it, I just do it to make things more enjoyable and entertaining for me.

Yes it is a terrible thing, finish the game, move on. Griefing on people just because you're better isn't really on. You wouldn't like it if someone did it to you, so don't do it to others.

Don't you go talkin' shit about rare steak. Global wonder.
Not for everyone. I however love it. Also, not undercooked. Cooked to perfection.

If it happened to me, I would think that the other team is being dicks, quit out, and start up another match. What's preventing others from doing the same?

That's a fairly poor argument in any situation bub.

That's all we have here. We need to cook it in a different way everyday, for the 365 days of the year

CREDITS MAN. Why else do people play this game?

It's not an American thing, it's a good taste thing. Rare or medium-rare is the best way to eat a steak.

Eh, I haven't gone to bed yet, but the point still stands: what's preventing players from quitting when being griefed (not just by objective holders?)

On top of that, most of the time when I do rack up 20+ kills with whatever objective, it's because TrueSkill didn't do its job. If TrueSkill actually did its job on a consistent basis, I think that objective holding would be a smaller of a problem then it currently is.

Barrow Roll said:

Welp, looks like the credit system is broken.
 
Woohoo! The objective holding war has started back up!

You've pretty much hit the nail on the head. The people that do it even know they're being dicks, and they do it anyway. So I think we've come up with the following definition: Objective holding = I'm a dick. Deal with it.

I'm not a fan of that. It's basically just a form of griefing under the pretense that it's "fun."
lame
What ever happened to good sportsmanship?

Quitting isn't an option, playing to make people quit is equally low.

I don't quit, i don't expect others to quit.

You're not playing within the spirit the game is intended, that's the bottom line.

I don't play to make people quit, I play to have fun, and yeah, sometimes being a dick is fun. My point was, if it's so terrible, then why not quit out? No one is forced to stay in a game where griefing is happening, yet people do and then complain about it as if they were. I mean, I don't load up Classic, vote for CTF every time, and run around maps beating people down with the flag every game, no, I go in, usually with friends, and every once in a while we'll get matched up with kids that are so heavily outskilled and instead of doing our routine "gameplan," we just dick around. I've played games where my whole team has done nothing but melee'd, and games where I've gone all out, and it's always resulted with us winning, most of the time by a huge margin, but the people on the other teams typically don't quit out, and if they're not having fun, then why do they decide to stay in the game?

I mean, griefing is bad, yes, I think we can all agree on that, but why continue to be griefed when you have the option of leaving?

Edit: And I'm not trying to start an argument or anything, or bring the "war" back up, I'm just trying to get a discussion going, because this is something that interests me.
 
Why not quit?
Because
a) You just shouldn't have to, just to allow dicks, as you call them, to have their fun on the side
b) Players are punished for quitting (as they should be), the people being ... abused (perhaps too strong a word, but it's closest for what it is) least of all deserve this
c) It leaves the rest of your team weaker (poor sportsmanship)
