Currently grinding for the weekly at 27/50 since I haven't been playing all week. Kinda pointless since I'll be getting >100,000 cr on the process.

I'm at 0/50. Possible to multi task between Halo and the Giants/Eagles game before watching the Walking Dead? SWAT games are short I think.

Possible? Of course. I can't say I've seen it happen like that. Occasionally lots of black screen, but ultimately little in-game lag.

I was thinking host migration is a way to prevent that kind of thing since I'm used to seeing that kind of thing in games without it.

I wish they would limit the ammo and respawn on the snipers on Hemorrhage, or make it less useful against vehicles.

Just had a round where my whole team quit, then I was against 3 guys, one guy raged from me killing his ass, so it was still 2 V 1. THIS is what's wrong with Reach and Halo in general, this shit happens all the damn time.

Weird, you haven't mentioned this before.

Just you :p

I had a nice 22 win streak going lol. Actually, I remembered now that I have a few issues with bnet. If I want info on something to the very right of the screen, such as the last game I lost in the streak, a popup appears as usual but it stretches past the page causing the page to adjust accordingly... only there is no easy way to scroll right without losing the mouse pointer you need to get the popup to appear. It bothered me :lol

I group people who vote against SWAT Magnums in the same category as quitters and people who vote for The Cage. I dislike your sentiments.

The Cage isn't that bad, I'd rather play SWAT on that than on Sword Base >.<

I think the problem with Swat Magnums is called LAG.

Since the Magnum is a less acurate weapon than the DMR or the Needle Rifle, lag hits people way harder and makes killing a lot more difficult.

I never quit, and I vote against The Cage most of the time. Especially in SWAT. All Forge maps are just terrible for SWAT. SWAT Magnums is horribly shitty though. Magnums are way too random for my liking.

You know, thinking about the Waypoint app yesterday.
ALL of this should be part of Waypoint, on the 360 and on WP7.

Does it make too much sense for it to actually happen or something?

I'm starting to notice more glitchiness or lag-related problems with Armor Lock. Granted, I started noticing this after searching for games with good connection.

Basically a player will become outlined in the armor lock invulnerability color, but not assume "the position". Whenever that happens it really throws off my game because I never know if they are invulnerable, going into or coming out of armor lock.

Nice VU reference.

Wow, 16K? Bungie to CoD-hoppers: come back and play Halo this week. On at least four days.
Click to expand...

Probably also because of the 4 day weekend in the US.

Turkey, Challenges, and stuffing bitches.

Even with that crazy jackpot, they don't want to make it easy. Those challenges hit Firefight, Campaign, and competitive multiplayer, and porbably ask about 30 minutes-hour in each.

Out of interest, what campaign mission did you play? I'm thinking New Alexandria myself.

New Alexandria is my usual challenge level but I think I'll do nightfall this time. I've got to rebuild my computer today and can get through that level in about 5 minutes.

Fuck, if I return to Reach right now I see myself zooming instead of meleing and throwing grenades trying to aim.

I warmed up in a gruntapacolypse. The first twenty seconds I almost feel like recording and showing everyone it was hilarious everything I wanted to do was the wrong button after playing BLOPS :lol twenty seconds later and I'm headshotting Grunts. What fuckin welcome back games! Always amazing how fresh you are after a nice long break from a game. I played two perfect Grunt games then a perfect Campaign mission. After that I played a Hill Asylum in Multi-Team and went 32-10-24 the next one I went 39-5-18 on Countdown Slayer I had more points than most of the other teams, not to mention a Killtrocity!

After that it took me two more games to get the rest of the challenges. All of this on 10 sensitivity which is a change from my default of 5 in Reach.

This game is really fun, I almost forgot that.

I think after a lot of playing you default to what usually works instead of trying crazy shit and you pull less insane games like you do after a bit of a break.

4/16 down.
