343i, where is my pre-SDCC sparkast. Or will they combine them to the ultimate sparkast? That would destroy us.

It's dangerous to go alone.
Any particular bullshit? Or just general bullshit?
Playing Classic was great and Squad Slayer helps a lot to ease Reachrage when I have it. Halo 3 is more fun...which makes me sad.

Whoops. Preordered. For all of the complaining I did, it only took knocking 10 dollars off the price to get me to bite. I have no principles/scruples/restraint

me goes into premium battle, let's have some awesome maps!
people votes none of the above
people votes 1 flag Boneyard
me quits
seriously, what's wrong with Reach's population? It looks like they always vote for the shittiest map/gametype combination lol.
And why is Boneyard still in matchmaking? I don't know who set up that map, but it really is bad
edit. MrBig, I can feel your pain. Going into mm alone is bad. And with bad I mean B A D

Or you can play invasion instead...Bregmann Roche said:

Invasion forces you to play as an Elite which kills the illusion of being a genetically-altered, cybernetically-enhanced, super soldier that anyone looking to play co-op craves. He also didn't say anything about cucumbers in his post so I assume he doesn't like Elites.

You know what's really funny, once the boot screen appears wait like 30 seconds so the douche who betrayed you thinks he is safe and then BAM!FyreWulff said:

Always select the good connection filter when playing co-op campaign or firefight, but yeah other than that you are going to get some laggy co-op games.
As MrBig said, turn on the search filters. I turn all three on. The language filter helps keep the distance closer than without, and the best connection helps as well.Dacon said:
I suggest Firefight Doubles, because then you're matched with one other player which often further minimizes the issue. (Plus, you have a 50/50 shot of pulling host, assuming you're not a poor one.)

Do you guys know why are the tunnels closed on Tempest? Flag and assault would be some much better without, I think

I do! But I should eat first.. I don't wanna play for another 4 hours without eating againSai-kun said:

Because there's only two ways in and it would totally lead to teams hiding inside of them.
I think of it as Bungie carved the tunnels out so people could option to have a full vehicle circuit along the outside of the map without spending forge budget making tunnels.
Hopefully they have some options to where we can modify the Anniversary maps for optional flow changes like that. Doors to block off bases or rooms, maybe make a wall a Forge object so we can delete it from the original map, etc.
As long as we don't get any "Developer only" variants like Uplink again.

I think I might just wait until he goes to his room or something... He's no Zalinkrow that's for sure... (To the point I feel like saving clips of him spamming pistol in SWAT modes...)Zeouterlimits said:

Could I hop on with you guys, too? My GT = popular revolt. I'm a pretty mediocre player, so don't expect miracles from me or nuthin. Oh, and I have no mic. Left it at my friends house. :-(
Edit: By mediocre I meant not pro-tier, haha.

Well if you're a mediocre player, I won't want to know what that makes me (Well, there was this period where I didn't play much Reach...but it would still be the same anyway. I never really played Halo seriously anyway.)omg.kittens said:

So whose bright idea at Bungie was it to have the "You have quit out of too many games. Don't quit anymore" message pop up mid-game? Yeah, thanks for that, Bungie. Ruin my play experience even further with pop-up messages in the middle of a firefight.
You would think at least one designer would have spoken up and told everyone else how unbelievably stupid that game design is. Then again, there are a lot of really stupid things about this game. And before someone says that I deserve it for quitting out of games, save your breath. I'm not going to sit through a shitty match just because Bungie feels the need to police their player base and not allow people to quit out of matches.

Depends on what he quit honestly. I don't begrudge quitters all that much, especially since you still get the quit penalty as the last player standing on a team. In fact I'd rather have someone not interested in playing quit, then commit suicide all game like I've run into before.
Devolution said:
Quit ban message only comes up if you quit a lot in a short span of time. If you're quitting once in a while from a lopsided game, you're not going to see it.
Hell, I got disconnected 3 times in one day because apparently it was Incompatible NAT Day over this past week in FF Arcade and I still didn't see it.
And even at that point, it's just a warning. The ban comes after.
SO happy:

Great week to be a Halo Fan! SDCC is turning out to be pretty awesome. Sparkast, Halo Universe Panel. Sweet!
I didn't realize how big that convention is, How many booths are there?

So I should get banned from quitting out of a few Score Attack games and matches where I'm the last player on my team? That sounds completely reasonable.
I swear, people will defend any Bungie-made decision. Drop-in drop-out games? I don't like them because they aren't in Halo!

Score Attack is a one-player playlist...Jack Scofield said:

There are plenty of rational, legit critiques of drop in/drop out. Don't come into a Halo thread just to lamely insult Bungie fans.

Hydranockz said:
Yeah, which is why being penalized for quitting out of a one-player playlist is ridiculous. One of those "don't quit" warnings popped-up in the middle of a Score Attack session, and I just had to see what would happen if I quit the match. Surely Bungie isn't stupid enough to punish players who quit what is ostensibly a single-player experience.
Sure enough, "you have been temporarily banned from matchmaking." Really? Really?
