No, no. There's no plan to retire the MLG playlist. The population isn't stellar, but it's stable, so there's no reason to consider its removal. I was merely providing a basis for comparison to the reasoning I commonly hear for making ANY playlist dedicated to a community of players.

Many will be reassured by that I'm sure. You're an inspiration to some, you know. ;D

Uh, you covered things pretty well. My remaining question would probably be: why so serious/angry?

Shiska's probably already driving to where that kid lives to shut him up for good, and so that he doesn't try to stalk him anymore. But yes, very creepy.

Fuuuck this just blows my mind because it's like the people who got EXP banned and aren't playing anymore. Is rank seriously the only thing that keeps you playing? Christ, don't you actually have fun playing or something?

....>_> I just might do this. [spoilers]Probably not. I don't wanna get banned :([/spoiler]

dammit the only reason I want a 50 is so I can stop playing goddamn ranked games and not care anymore.

Wait, is Live still broken or something? I know game history/EXP is still apparently down, but I see a ton of people on right now, was it just fucked up earlier today or something?

The service has been going up and down a lot today. We've heard nothing from them so I imagine they're cranking really hard on whatever's going on to try to repair it.
 
I should have ranked down twice already :lol

When everything is back in running order, will skill level/military rank reflect all of the accumulated gameplay during Live's "still messed up" time?

I hope not =p

No more than someone calling someone a twerp and saying they should go post somewhere else. I've given up calling for a Team Snipers playlist. But some people here think they're mods and can tell people what they can and cannot talk about. At least Team Snipers is Halo 3, which I can't say the same about half the stuff that's discussed in this thread some times.

In short, yes. In a little bit longer, fuck yes. In even longer, yeah, it's fucked up.

But if nobody likes playing it in the playlist it does show up in, kinda makes you wonder why anyone thinks a dedicated playlist would succeed on its own.

So much for "everyone wants this," hm?
Click to expand...

Damn two pages went by already so this post is sort of ancient. Anyways, it just seems to be people wanting to play Slayer and getting Snipes that makes them veto.

If they knew they were going into a Snipes playlist they can't really complain about getting a snipers match ya know?

Its like if I went into Lone Wolves and got Swords, sure its a slayer gametype but swords is for really really skilled players and I never stand a chance so I usually veto.

When its Team Snipes dbl exp weekend people don't go into the playlist then complain they got a snipes game.

Dirtbag calling the other regulars here "twerps" is just friendly ribbing. Someone coming in here with 300 posts in 4 years none of which are in this thread and calls him a "fucking jerkoff" with no smiley face is downright rude and nasty.
 
12 ranked Team Slayer matches and no snipers. I <3 Bungie. Even though my team was trounced in a couple of games, I had fun doing it =p

I don't think Dirtbag was just "friendly ribbing" people.
 
I wonder if they will go back to the smooth and shiny Battle Rifle in 'Keep it Clean' since it'll take place during Halo 2 to Halo 3 (it seems), because the Battle Rifle in Halo 3 is just plain ugly. I love it, but I hate it. Also, I wonder if there will be a slightly stronger kick-back on the weapons if we are ODSTs? Sorry, I've just been watching this over and over, and it just looks so sexy.

In his defense, he is a dirtbag. I've met him. Wouldn't spit on him if he were dying of thirst.

I have a hard time watching that. Seriously, I can't fathom why that didn't make it into the game.

Ditto. I love Halo's game play, but that doesn't mean they can't also put scripted events into the game like this so it seems more epic.

No I wasn't. I'm completely tired of reading the same things over and over on here. That was genuine frustration. There are plenty of things we would all do differently with the game if we had to the power to, but it's one thing to discuss things and something else entirely to constantly complain with the same exact line over and over - like repeating it somehow will make it more true. Raise new points, attack it from a different angle, or bring your soap box somewhere else - where you'll find a new audience that has something original to add to your "discussion" or the patience to listen.

We've only got one thread here on GAF that is frequented by mostly the same people, I think we've all pretty much gotten the point by now.

Well, you think that you're some sort of "outside-the-echo-chamber" voice of reason, so I guess we're all delusional in some ways! :)

Plus, if you look at the environment in the demo, the environment is completely open in almost every direction. While the scenarios are scripted, if this was a true environment in campaign it'd be likely that you could move in any direction, handling any batch of enemies you selected to until the scripting took place. I'd really like to see something like that in the future.

lol - no, but I remember someone posting here that if you're not good at snipers, you should STAY THE FUCK OUT OF THE SNIPERS PLAYLIST on double xp weekends.

(I don't think it was you, juices - but your post reminded me of that. :D )

Color me impressed.

And for the record, Dirtbag has my blessing to shit on anyone he wants to, especially when it comes to Team Snipers campaigners.

Wait, wait, wait, There are people in this thread who would like Team Snipers to be a permanent playlist?

It's a relevant topic to Halo 3, which is what this thread is about. I get tired of the random photoshops, weekly Dax bashing trends and the gangbang on Juices that happens regularly. But I just don't bother saying anything. You're not a mod. You don't have the right to tell people what they can and cannot discuss in here, unless something has changed in the past few minutes.

Nah, I just get tired of seeing "regular" posters in here jump on other posters because they don't have a high enough post count or they're not in here enough. There's a sense of elitism by many posters here that I don't share.

I've never found AI to be a strong point in any RTS gametype. Switching of the difficulty levels usually just entails quicker movements to the next command, and a different attitude (attack, turtle, expand, etc.)

RTS, IMO, are for playing other humans and trying to decide what kind of person he is and what he will do.

I think as long as there's some story in the forms of cutscnens pre and post level and maybe minor cutscenes in the single player, it'll be decent. Since in-game there's not much room for story advancement playing a REAL TIME (everything is happening in real time to clarify) game. I don't know if that makes any sense.

Then again I won't be playing Halo Wars for its story either, I'm just hoping it has good RTS balance/gameplay.

O and I know the sound/music is going to be awesome. Really excited to see what that Wwise sound engine can do for games, looked quite promising when I saw a demo of it earlier.

Yeah Fox, one day we'll have to get together and have some customs.
I can think of few things more satisfying than getting to shoot some of you guys repeatedly in the face. Bring Striker and Juices along as well. We can use halo to work out our differences.

I agree with you about the GAF Elitism, even though I'm just as guilty of it... but that's probably a much larger issue with all of GAF that goes well beyond our little (giant) thread.
I actually find this thread more tolerable in forms of general discussion, mostly thanks to the community at large having moved on to discuss other games - leaving us to talk about the much deeper effects of game balance / universe / etc.

I don't totally hate you guys because you're obviously hardcore halo fans - a common bond. But with the constant complaining, I'm sometimes convinced you'd be happier playing another game.

Yeah, maybe I've convinced myself they complain more then they actually do because they tend to get under my skin more then the others. I'll try and lighten up, and get more liberal with my use of the ignore feature.

The fact that you didn't throw Juices in there tells a lot about your observational skills.

I for one would like to deem Dirtbag the first unofficial moderator of this thread.

Edit: Scratch that. I for one would like to deem Dirtbag the first official regulatah of this thread.

Kylej's posts amount to a documentary on being an asshole. Links to him donging (spawn trapping)
in social games
and other key aspects of douchebaggery. As far as complaints go, he'll helplessly campaign for Team Snipers but that's about the extent of that.

Spermatic on the other hand just randomely pops in to bitch about the first thing that bothers him and jets.
