I also saw a remarkable number of people who aren't going to play anymore Halo today because they aren't gaining exp. I wasn't aware that people actually play Halo just to increase exp. That seems silly.

Check this kid out. No one has that much exp unless all they're doing is playing for exp.
 
sometimes I like to be matched against my friends. It makes the games more fun sometimes. I always try to embarrass my friends when I play against them.

...one of the people I was partied with goes zooming by in a Warthog saying (in proximity chat) "Don't kill Pedro, Don't kill Pedro" and went on his merry way without killing me. I felt pangs of guilt at that point and questioned what I should do.

lol

I've done that in Big Team Social. Just depends on the other person. As long as it's not a serious effort to screw the other team unfairly, I don't see why you should feel guilty about it. In fact in your case, they were hamstringing their own team for comedy.

What bothers me is when someone in my party gets on the other team and then sabotages them. That's just dirty pool. Like a turd atop the water dirty.

Ethical question everyone! If you are put on an opposing team from your party, do you play as normal and try and win? Or try and subvert your own team?

Depends if anything happens in th pre-game lobby. If the team you get party'd up with are talking shit, quietly shoot them in the head while your buddies are. That way it still counts as a kill for the other team, not against you. Or if your buddy loses the fight even with you helping, chuck a nade after he dies it'll still him the kill.

I ran into someone who had 450 something xp in multi-team, talk about having no life, you can't say that you play for a little bit a day and get 450 xp in 1 week.

Wow, that's more EXP than I have total. That's disgusting.

I went to the b.net forums real quick to see about the exp problem and I see this:

You're right; I hate those kinds of people.

I dunno, I think random people who send friend requests are kinda creepy. I have played with a couple GAFer's, but even then there is usually one or two people who talk too much. And I keep getting put on the other team for some reason.....

It is kinda unfair to the other people on your team if you start blowing up your own hogs or something, but on the other hand, ganking your friends seems kinda low. What would you do?

Was playing social slayer once on High Ground, and had a party split with one of theirs on our team. Said member of our team intentionally stayed at the back of the beach on High Ground so we kept spawning on the beach while getting spawn camped as his friends got the power weapons repeatedly. It was pretty miserable and an obviously exploitation of the spawning system. I was pretty angry.

Clearly this is your opinion and I respect it, but Nintendo has made millions and "waggle" is fantastic when implemented in a fun and clever way. Plus, achievement points makes gamers play games they might have never even touched and encourages some gamers to choose the Xbox 360 version over the PS3 version of new multiplatform releases.

Money talks.

Oh I know money talks, I just find it funny that there are people out there stupid enough to want to rent/purchase shitty games just so their e-penis grows a little.

Multiplayer achievements do nothing but make the MP suffer in quality, COD4 got this right, even though unlocking the weapons is an achievement in a way, it wasn't a hazard to the gameplay and it just came naturally through playing. When you do stuff like getting 100 boomshot kills, or 2 oddball kills or w/e, it just makes people do stupid stuff, as seen by this thread.

Too much pizza eating and sitting around on Live all day, I take it? =P

Nice to see you on the ball with it, I hope it doesn't scare away people for some games tonight. Fun games are still fun, even if a virtual digit doesn't increase when you win.

I agree with that. In fact, its a point I made in a large post I made a page or two ago (could be further back because of all the newer posts).
 
I've come to the startling revolution that while Keep it Clean will still be an FPS, Bungie is obviously working with Rare to incorporate MS's new waggle controller into Halo. I shall finally be able to whoop Ram's ass cause no one, NO ONE can waggle a wii like me.

Just wanted to let everyone in on the piece of shit that this guy is. Because I wouldn't participate in the circle jerk for achievements when we get Avalanche, I got told by "Total Sacrifice", just as he leaves our party after the game, that I am a fucken faggot.

You have got to be shitting me.

I just got matched up with a party of 7 in DLC FFA. 4 of which were guests, and 1 of the actual players quit almost immediately. So, basically, it's going to look like I boosted because there was only 3 people with kills.

Add to this the fact I'm already on an EXP ban, and you'll realise I'm pretty annoyed. :( Please dont perma me, Bungie, I don't even know them.

As long as that doesn't happen multiple times, I think you'll be fine.
 
cjelly said:
So, if EXP rewarding is down, wouldn't now be a great time to boost for any remaining achievements unnoticed? :D

Since it's player behavior we track and not EXP earned...

...Go right ahead! ;)

I'll post my overall impressions of TU2 within a couple of days. Feel like I need to get a little more play in on all the playlists.

I'm waiting with baited breath.

Just got to play Anvil for the first time, FFA Rockets of course (the only way to play Halo), how did this map sneak through? :lol
 
Four Sniper games in a row. FOUR. It would have been five in a row had it not been for a rare showing of Team BRs. And guess what was right before that? Fucking snipers.

I quit the last one. I couldn't stand it anymore.

People want a Shotty Sniper/Team Sniper playlist? Then look no further than Social Slayer.

Four? Wow. I've played a couple of games of social slayer since TU2, and I think I've only gotten one snipers gametype.
