What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

It's not like this new thing that you see suddenly makes the helmet you already bought less cool, it just gives you a new goal to reach, which I'm pretty sure is 99% of the reason they set things up that way.

FELIPE NO

Luke pointed out on GAF that the credits you earn scale slightly to your rank. So I get more for everything I do as a Lt Colonel than I did as a Major, Captain, or WO. Luke said it would be a grind to reach top rank, sure, but not at the rate of 20,000 a day for three years.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Most amazing jew boots

Saw this on GAF and thought it was kinda funny:Bungie.net : Halo Reach : File Details

Fuck yes SWAT playlist Now someone needs to tell Bungie to get their maximum troll on and make one of the daily challenges 150 kills in SWAT.

Additional Spam:
Ahahaha the prompt for the new playlist info says "I'm ready! How 'bout you?" instead of Press A to continue. Emile for best Spartan ever.

Additional Spam:
Someone tell Shims I have officially gone BUCK WILD. I never thought I'd get that medal in matchmaking.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

This isn't me, but it could might as well be me with the way I handle the grenade launcher.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I think the drop shield has no place in CTF games as well as oddball etc. Me, Qwarky and Zip won a game earlier by basically spamming the shield on the flag and triple-teaming anyone who ran into it, I felt kinda dirty. In fairness, the offence points we scored were smooth as fuck but still.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I think today's update removed the Drop Shield from objective games, or at least some of them. I'm pretty sure they've said that they'll be removed from all of them, as that was fairly obviously broken from day one.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Also, sadly, SWAT is still an option in Multiteam

FELIPE NO

But so is ROCKET RACE so it evens out.

Also this amused me to no end.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Damn it, I hate Xbox Live players. All these fun new gametypes and these assholes only want to play Slayer. Or Slayer Pro/Classic if they're feeling particularly frisky. I played for the last two and a half hours and couldn't get into one god damned Juggernaut match.

How ya doing, buddy?

Man, this is going to sound like a troll, but if you honestly expected a playerbase interested in exciting new gameplay then maybe Halo wasn't for you.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'll give you that.

I'd love to play with you guys, but by the time I get home from work, most of you are probably asleep. I know a couple of you live in Englandland, but I'm not sure of the time difference between there and Korea.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

My image is that everyone votes for Snipers as much as they can. I would welcome normal Slayer matches for once, it's always Snipers or DMRs or SWAT when it was still an option.

Pleasingly, the minute Rocket Race popped up in multi-team when zip and I were playing, everyone flocked to it, much to my surprise and delight. Too bad we got the same map back to back. Still hilarious.

Which part scales? The commendations, or the end of game/winning the game bonuses?

Wrong.

Shake is a dirty kill-stealer. Bet he was in a tank when he did it too.

FELIPE NO

Yeah, dudes like that on XBL blow, but I can never bring myself to do Team and Party or Friends Only, because proxy chat is always funny, like those dudes who were getting so pissed earlier when Shake and I were playing Team Slayer.

Nothing tops that one time Daravon and I were on H3 and this dude had some serious techno blasting through his mic and Daravon swore we were playing against the Techno Viking. It was like a party every time he got near enough for you to kill him, I couldn't stop laughing.

untz untz untz untz untz

How ya doing, buddy?

The problem that Reach seems to have for some reason (as opposed to other XBL games) is that every time I put it on Everybody, there's always a billion people talking on lobbies over one another because multiple people apparently have it on Team and Party. I tried rolling on Everyone for a while tonight, but aside from being told I was going to be raped a few times, it was just unbearable cross-talk.

That was SO GOOD. I remember it was on the Pit, and I could literally hear him through the proxy voice chat before he would even blip on the radar. It was like I was killing the party every time I killed him

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I stole that kid's assassination, it's true. And I'd do it again, and not just because he was a teenage mouthbreather.

I will never play Team and Party. You have to drink from the cornucopia of Live behaviour.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hey Shake. 1688. 1704.

The Arena is lulz.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah, I discovered the secret is to go in with people who haven't played it yet, or haven't played it much. Their TrueSkill offsets yours, and you get to play people who are not, in fact, ninjas. When I took Sparrows in I got two 1500+ games.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Any idea if there was some changes to playlists again or something because all the multi-team matches I had with Tails, zip or mo0 recently have just vanished from my history?

I have an entire Rocket Race match uploaded as well as a screenshot and when you click View Game it brings up an empty page and says specified game can't be found =/
