That's the one.
It's no problem, I just kinda fell off the grid for a while and didn't know if you had used it. Glad they liked it!
The one with the DMR's over the yellow diamond sign right? Ya, I used it. Fuckin loved it and so did my team. We put it on our team jerseys.
Thanks again.

I just got this fun message after a game of Team Snipers (my team lost 49-50). Haha
Not even sure why it was sent to me in particular, I had a decent game, lol

I guess you used a pistol at some point? Xbox Live is one of the view services on Earth that people pay for so that they can suffer verbal abuse. Good Times!

Yeah, it was Snipers on Countdown, so using a Sniper is kinda stupid if you ask me. So I stuck with Pistol for most of the game.
And the first page always being site spam for a domain because of Microsoft's policy on LIVE dedis needing to have an actual gamertag.
Tex and I are on Haloez right now, if anyone is on.

So I'm trying to play Halo: Custom Edition on my PC for the hell of it but nothing happens when I click on the logo. The screen flashes black for a moment but then nothing ever comes of it. =| I installed the latest patch by the way. [edit] nvm I just failed at installing the FXAA stuff.

Uhg, why the fuck do people vote for regular slayer. AR starts is horrid.
Also, I wonder if TS would have the population it does if 343 swapped places between it and super slayer. I imagine a lot of people just jump into the first thing on the list that's TS based.
TU Reach is way better than vanilla.

I think I might have some clips you can use. I like the idea.
Look at what happened between Anniversary Squad and Anniversary Classic. Squad had well over double the population of Classic, then one week they swapped their orders in the listing and the populations reversed overnight.
People mash A until they are in a game.
The Team Slayer name also carries a lot of mini-brand recognition, so a swap wouldn't do it entirely.
What's your avatar from?

A bunch of shitty Forge maps added to Super Slayer, making the loss of Squad Slayer even more tragic. 343 doesn't exactly inspire confidence with choices like these.
They should have had Team Slayer as the TU playlist and Bloom Slayer as the second - would have done wonders for population of the good playlists :|

As if there's a difference between them now that bleedthrough is gone, haha.
Play 85% Bloom and then 100%.
I miss bleedthrough too, but the bloom reduction is the best part.

I just want to say taking a break and then donging is so good. I shat out positives all day long. Hit the Tashi ceiling a BUNCH, including a really close choke I'll post later.

I'm full bro. Adding you means removing someone else, probably a HaloGAF member. Please don't take any offense. Blame MS for not raising the friend limit.
And yes, I am part of an exclusive club...GAF Gold.
not the reload from last save glitch, but the night map can still be speed run in less than 5 min
What the fuck I don't want to play this shit.

I may be remembering wrong but didn't Squad Slayer also omit armor lock? No AL, reduced bloom, and bleedthrough was the glorious trifecta of bandaids on this game that made it fun for me. Super Slayer is "good enough" when the population is high enough, but it's not Squad Slayer.

Yep, Squad Slayer was pretty much a fixed Reach for me. Then in a blink of an eye it was gone.

Domino was just talking about the difference between TU and Vanilla, I think. But yeah, you're right. No armor lock and no community Forge maps are important reasons that Squad was the best list in the game (aside from MLG, which I usually don't have the energy for). Super Slayer is a fucking travesty.
I have graciously accepted your request of friendship.

There's another tourney going on this weekend in Chicago. A lot of pros there (Mikwen,Ninja,Chig,Snipedown). Stream is here.
Yes, Squad was the first playlist of the changes Bungie was starting to implement across matchmaking. It also had Big Party matching one, which put teams against teams and randoms against randoms.
So, um, WTF. I'm going after the "Don't Touch That" achievement and it didn't unlock. Fucking Christ.
I just finished the match (One Flag CTF on Highlands) and we prevented the team from touching the flag during both rounds (and I just rewatched it in theater mode just to be certain....as if I could somehow miss the announcer screaming "Flag Stolen!" or something) and it didn't unlock.
Is this achievement glitchy or something? I've spent the past week trying to get this achievement on the ridiculously elusive Defiant map (with the even more elusive gametype) and now I'm probably gonna have to do it again

I was crowned king of the thread, Tashi got an overkill, and a third ridiculous thing happened

Well there's the whole bloom thing at least.
I wish armorlock was fucking gone though, at least fewer people use it now.
Agree completely.
Yeah, it just pains me to "know" this.
