Halo |OT10| The Calm Before The Storm

We all love Halo guys (I think)

Can't we all just get along? There's no reason sprinters and ambles can't live side by side in harmony

Well, there is because because we'd be going to fast, but you get my point.

Semi OT to the conversations going on right now, but how many of you actually actively go for the flag in CTF? Outside of MLG, I never pick it up anyways, so I think that's why I haven't been as shell shocked by the no drop thing...

Yeah- Your average CTF (and objective game, for that matter) was awful. I think the changes will negatively effect the very, very top notch games. But when the bulk majority of your games were broken, you have to fix it. I think the changes will definitely bump up your average game a couple pegs.

The thing about all of these changes- without them, the population will probably suck and that will poorly influence gameplay. I may not love all of them, but I think in the long run it'll be a net gain.

Regarding ranks, I'll try to hold judgement until I know what this stat tracking involves. I got kicked offline so frequently in Arena, and only once out of it (by Arena players w/ a grudge). I can understand why 343 found ranks to be so toxic. I just figured 343 would have found an alternative beyond just stripping it out.

Having played a shitload of CTF as my main gametype I completely disagree.

Thinking about it I would maybe be okay with the marker appearing, but not for like 10 seconds to give you some sort of chance of a getaway.

I like CTF myself, but just thinking about it normally somebody is left behind to watch the flag and normally the enemy spawns back at there base after being killed so unless the team is just really bad people always knew where you were.

Now the only problem i see with the waypoint was if they did classic CTF. If the flag has to be at the spawn in order to capture it that waypoint needs to go.

So can I just go to 711 and get double exp codes without buying them? I had one mtn dew in my life and it was worse than alloneisone's posts.

Thank you for this.

I don't hate anyone on here, it's just annoying when I want to read discussion on why people like/dislike a new feature and instead of discussion it's multiple one-off sarcastic lines, and then attacks on people who have the opposite opinion.

The funniest thing is most everyone is buying day 1.

Can I enter these codes yet? I bought a bag of Master Chief Doritos today, couldn't make it through the whole bag though. 3 games of Double XP, a dollar well spent.

I think I've been the one bitching the most in this thread and I'm buying multiple copies

Dear 343i,

I don't appreciate y'all promoting all this junk food in my body just so a brotha can have some double XP. Y'all need to double XP some bananas or pistachios or Aquafina or some shit.

Sincerly,

Toddler

This again?

Edit:^ actually, that could be HaloGaf's motto, now that I think about it.

Send in an envelope to Doritos, there is a reason these things say "no participation required"
