Not so fast kevinro, now you can level up in each playlist. Back to the grind for you.

I haven't had any problems with XBL since that whole Christmas incident last year, oh my god was that ridiculous. Same shit better not happen again.JdFoX187 said:

Let me say thanks for replying, but I have to comment on a few things you had said.
I really don't see a true resemblance between the Sniper crowd on, especially those here on GAF, to the MLG crowd. The players in Snipers want to play a gametype for its dedicated playlist because it was highly populated in Halo 2. If you have the numbers from the day it debuted all the way through Halo 3 released, I would certainly love to see how its population compared to Team Slayer and other ranked playlists.
By me saying it would become the second most popular playlist isn't me being arrogant. I do not mean to make it come off that way. I honestly feel that way. Bungie wants a playlist that will bring in a lot of players. I rarely see those others bring in 10,000+ players, if at all.
Another niche gametype... Team SWAT is still currently in the rotation. I realize it also has dropped in terms of popularity since its debuted ranked in Halo 3. That happened the same way in Halo 2. Players like that gametype for a while, but not long. Why? It's not competitive like Team Slayer, Team Objectives, MLG, or Snipers. Why it dropped in popularity is simpy my opinion.

I was able to get on yesterday right after school let out (around 3PM EST) and wasn't having any problems.JdFoX187 said:
Curious, I just turned on my console to see what was up, and I can't connect. What the fuck. It's sad Xbox Live "failed" when I tested my connection.

Shishka, fix Xbox Live please.
There are definitely moments where I barely escaped. Whenever that happened I hightailed it outta there.Louis Wu said:Awesome.
The fact that you weren't killed or boarded is more impressive than your kill count. (I looked the game up on B.net, and I must say, I'm rather surprised you only had 7 assists. I think you got robbed.)

The way I see it, XBL is a service like many others - cell services, cable services, etc. Those don't

Harder to maintain? I don't know. It shouldn't, but mistakes happen, as well as problems like what's happening now.backflip10019 said:

Pfft. You mean like with Halo: Combat Evolved? Just for fun, like the good ole' LANs of yesteryear? It would never work. ;-)Sai-kun said:

Wow. I managed to log on into Halo 3, and there are only 45,044 gamers online. That's the lowest amount of people online I have ever seen.:lol

Hence the spoiler tag in my post.
I guess get a new cable service? Mine always works. Anyway, the point is XBL should work and not fucking suck.
I remember the last time everyone on GAF was demanding a playlist because it would be so great and popular and Bungie wasn't putting it in because they don't like us. That playlist, known as Ranked Big Team Battle, was retired with AU2's arrival. Possibly GAFers aren't as plugged in to what everyone wants as they think they are?
ALSO, I'm going to have a tough decision when XBL expires. I have nothing that I feel like playing online, and I'm tired of it being in a constant state of disarray from October-Febuary.

Does Team Swat not give Playlist EXP? I seem to not be gaining XP in that list, despite winning. I was planning on building 7 XP in that list for the 7th to get the Vidmaster Challenge only to look and realize I'm not gaining XP in it.

Dammit, this sucks. I keep getting thrown out of the game and back to the lobby as soon as I get matched up.
Edit: One of them showed up on my played games list :/
Edit 2: Fuck. They are all showing up on my list. I hope I don't get banned

It's October, and that reminds me: shouldn't Halo: The Cole Protocol be out sometime soon, this month even? Didn't Contact Harvest come out late October last year?
Edit:
I wants me a new Haler book.

Yeah, but if the hours folllowing that downtime had spotty service, then their community would be throwing a much bigger fit than some Live subscribers are.Shishka said:
I was fine with WoW's planned server downtime, and I'd be fine if Live had to do it, too. In fact, I really didn't see too much complaining about the 29th. What is annoying is when the service comes "back up," but is constantly going back offline at random intervals.

I live in the woods. It's cable... or no TV. (Or family internet, for that matter)
Don't even THINK of suggesting satellite. Folks with it around here go dark in the winter.
backflip10019 said:
I wish I COULD - unfortunately, cable's a monopoly; one company per market, as far as I know.
I agree with you - XBL shouldn't suck. But a couple of days' worth of suckage hardly seems like enough to warrant the pitchforks...
What I find amusing is that a lot of the people who want Snipers are the same people who loathe the idea of having BR starts. On the one hand, you say Snipers takes skill, and on the other you say BR starts turns the game into a vanilla affair. When in reality, BR starts take more skill as you all put it, and Snipers definitely turns the game into a vanilla experience...
Interesting!

Why must they tease us, I'm calling it here Halo 4: Guns of the Master Chief with 24 hours worth of cutscenes.
I think what people want to know about Team Snipes is why complete trash like Head 2 Head not only gets implemented, but is also completely reworked months later (then dropped, of course) before Team Snipers is made permanent. All this talk of niches and cliques and MLG... what the hell was Head 2 Head?
