You also have to bury it amongst the other playlists and offer almost no path/motivation for new and/or casual players to find it.

Dude, if someone sticks themselves on lvl 50 for clout and tells everybody, I'd be happy to challenge him to a game and show him he's ridiculous. I liked the ranking system cause I actually used it.
I do think its implementation, rather than how it worked, was its biggest problem. However, I still think games counting differently is an incorrect way to go about it. The first 5 games shouldn't "lock" you in, even if you can change your rank after that. Each game is separate and should therefore be treated that way, but more importantly, feel that way. There's something to be said for divisions since it makes it feel more like a tournament, but I think maybe that should be something seperate.
I definitely think they could tweak arena to make it more "in the moment" fun rather than having your aggregate kills/assists, etc. weighing you down. I also think they could tweak the ranking system to be more accurate. I'll just say that neither one was correct, so if they do have something similar, lets hope its better than both.
Disc 2. This is what it is for.

Promethean weapons showcase, perhaps.
Kinda hoping for a full, direct feed game of Dominion on one of the new maps, myself. A boy can dream.
I went through his history after suspecting his cheating! It was legit, Arena just didn't ...work.

I think they're going to space out the weapon videos a little bit more. Based on Ellis's fancy-pants comments, I'm guessing there'll be some Spartan Ops sizzle-reel action.

I want a video about group functionality! That's the hinted-at-but-not-revealed feature that I'm most excited about at this point.
Ah yeah, you're right.
It's mostly about the pensions, not what they make this year.

Speaking of downloading, I'd love to hear how 343i has decided to address the DLC that languished on my hard drive, untouched and unexplored because of Bungie's Reach implementation. The DLC maps were considerably more fun on the rare occasion I was allowed to play them :/

Spent 10 minutes scrolling through Halo Reach's playlists...
So many, yet I couldn't find one that I wanted to play that had a population > 500.

You know I hear all of the reasons why people don't like X playlist or change in Reach and most of them I either agree with or at least see the point of. But does no one like Multi team or Doubles? Super slayers a joke especially with its population and Team slayers the opposite because I can't stand vanilla but Multi and Double are still very playable with a teammate or two.
Also, I still miss squad.

I know your pain mate, I search the objective playlist and there's less than 200 and less than 100 at the Aussie times I search.
It's just a failing population and I'm sure all the Halo 4 news is turning more Reach players off everyday.
Oh well BTB until Nov 6 it is then.
I hopped onto Reach for the first time in a few days today, and got a fresh reminder of how bad Firefight is now. I still have that itch, but the remaining playlist is like lemon juice when applied to it. Just makes things worse.

I miss those giant Sentinels from Halo 2, they were pretty fun to take down.
Well, we did get a full game of Dominion from Machinima, but more would always be nice. Hm, so many options for good video content..

the assertion that we will soon use more energy than the sun is capable of providing seems a bit odd given that we barely capture any of it now.

Can you give us some big credit bonuses coming up soon, some people arent fat and have jobs but would like to hit fat kid no job status in Reach.
Also at this point in Reach's life you dont need a daily credit cap if there is still one.
Also does H4 have a ranking system. Please say yes right now thats all we need.

It's a six billion dollar per year league. They can afford to take care of their officials.
The NFL tried to prove a point in August that the league didn't need the officials as much as the officials needed the league, and this weekend it became clear to everyone how terribly wrong they were.
This is a joke. Not just because of the end of tonight's game, but because of the entirety of tonight's game, and games all across the spectrum this weekend. It's become calamitous.
Anyways- that's my one off-topic post for today.
Halo.

How does one commit suicide in SWAT Magnums?
edit: Just watched the film. Soft kill on Zealot.

I'd kill myself if I had to play that gametype.
I was about to send you an invite when I realized I didn't want to play this game anymore.

That gametype is sad proof that Bungie programmed the Magnum to be unreliable.

I wonder if we'll get to experience cray cray time/space warping Forerunner trickery in Halo 4's campaign.

Halo 2 desperately needs a Anniversary edition.. Some parts of the game are simply stunning looking:
The game may not be perfect, but my god, if it had a remake on the 360 or 720, possibly using the Halo 4 engine..

One of my favorite things during my relatively short time being involved in this community is discovering what each individual person's Halo thing or vice/strawman is. Patterns begin to emerge, based only on me casually reading the thread and interacting with folks.
daedalius has his art, n00bs his trueskill, gal his firefight, dax his propipe and so on and so forth. And you come along with magnums. A small idiosyncrasy that provides character and context. Not to say any of you are one dimensional, I just happen to notice certain posters have their niche.
But yeah, that thing sucks, and then it doesn't. Shame that it's so unreliable that there is literally no recourse but to spam the shit and hope. Unsavory weapon design.

Yeah, I scratched my head at that too.
Oh dear, I've fallen into the abyss of Dyson Spheres vs Ringworlds and why they aren't feasible. This stuff is going to keep me up all night.
According to this one article only 51% of Mercury's mass is usable, meaning the the other 49% becomes a hazardous asteroid belt for the mining robots.

I did stumble upon this though, reminded of Sparth's work.

Anybody know if Halo Anniversary sold decent enough?
I'd definitely love to see some more done along those lines. Anniversary was worth every penny.

I can't find the video right now, but it showed that even with Zero Bloom the Magnum has bullet spread. Why they compounded that with bloom I'll never understand.

Solar Flares, Red Giant, Super Nova, Black Holes and space debris like Asteroids or "Rogue" planets are what comes to mind of immediate problems for such mega structures to theorize human achievement in harvesting a Stars discharge being catastrophic.
Creating a colony on different planets, moons, or off world space stations using Solar Power, Dark Matter or other alternative energy resources would be an achievement.
I...what? I never knew this. I always here talk of the Magnum being unreliable but I never quite understood what was meant other than the term felt familiar with my experience using it.

There were Forerunner turrets on walls(?) who shot a beam. Pretty cool and it surprised you when you haven't noticed it first.
I wanted to try out Dominion but it was impossible to play it and there was a big gap in terms of skills. The most were just bad. You could dong nearly everyone.

Oh cool, what did the Forerunner turrets look like? Also, where they pretty large? Too bad about Dominion, but thats still awesome you got to play a decent amount of games/maps it seems.
BTW, I know you didn't play it, but did you get to see what the Spartan Flood looked like, or how they played?
