Squad Battle is a headache for me, I thought it had so much hope because it was BR starts, but it turns out they only use big ass maps and add in vehicles and heavies. Like yea up the usefulness of a players skill by adding BR starts thats good and all, but then they drop it by adding vehicles.

IMO vehicles and heavies belong in social, that shit isn't skill, its which team has the most players that know wtf they are doing. Espcially in TS, TS should be limited to the sandbox that is weapons, nades, melees, turrets, and equipment, not fuckin vehicles in a 4v4 or 3v3 gametype! makes it too easy for one team to dominate and make the other team quit especially on Standoff if one team gets hog and laser, but fuck that.

Needs more Pit Bomb and Multiflag IMO.

I agree.

Totally agree. Why should the net experience, teamwork, and skill of the entire team be the deciding factor for who wins? Teams of randoms should have an equal chance at beating a well organized squad; that's the epitome of skill-based competition.

No I completely agree it should be experience teamwork and skill as the deciding factor. Just not with vehicles those things are lame in 3v3 and 4v4.

Good job trying to take stuff out of context and say I mean it universally though. Dick.

Oh snap, here I was thinking you were talking about the 5v5 and 6v6 games that the playlist Squad Battle is comprised of. Silly me.

Yes those too. Vehicles should stick to social especially Heavies. Seriously though just don't reply to my shit because you're just constantly a dick to me for no fucking reasons. You've hated me since day one from preconceived notions over an internet thread. Back the fuck off.

I initially hated because of the stupid avatar, but I stayed for the constant bitching and wild sense of self-righteousness.
 
personally i believe halo 3 should have all weapons, vehicles and objectives removed from matchmaking. the only way you can win is by telling the best ghost stories.
 
Heavies simply needs modified because the vehicles are, for the most part, non essential to the game unless your team controls every single Laser.

Perhaps add Rockets for the two extra Lasers or extend the Laser's respawn. Either way, Heavies hasn't been a fun experience because amount of lasers.

I agree with Juices that Squad Battle needs to go back to its roots and become more about Capture the Flag and Bomb. Slayer shouldn't be above 55%, much less at 67%.
 
I didn't notice until now, but I see that TU2 didn't fix that vexing glitch where if you don't have the default helmet (and shoulders/chest ?) in the game, you get the default helmet.

Ok, so my hard drive has this ridiculous problem that I've never heard of anywhere else.

Every once in a while (over the past month or so it's been ever 4 or 5 times I've powered up the console), it'll say that I have no gamertags or saved info or anything on the drive, just like it's new from the manufacturer. After a few restarts, it usually fixes itself and everything returns to normal.

Anybody had/heard of this problem before? Is my HDD dying?

Probably best off talking to 1-800-4my-xbox.

I haven't heard of this happening.
 
...and two on three becomes two against two, and I am sucking it up, and we are down by seven or eight, and then I go on a 13 kill tear and we finish it up... and I get my birdie.

Yea well you were a dick saying I make bad posts, so I didn't see the need to respect you at all. You got carried, you're not good.
 
So can someone tell me how Skill level works exactly?

I mean I get the bascis, you keep winning against higher skilled players your skill goes up but what If it is a team game and you have a good k/d ratio but your team loses?

Do you need to have a certain number of + k/d games in a row to go up in skill and ALSO need your team to win?

Remember way back when, you said you could get a General, you just "didn't feel like it", I'm sure that's what it was.

Before you MLG jock riders come in and quote me, I'm well aware that achieving a General means squat at the end of the day, I'm just ribbing Juices for ribbing others.

I don't remember making a post ever that said I was good, just that I finally (lol) got to Brigadier after about a year of playing this game. It is a small achievement, and one you can belittle all you like, but it was fun to get.

You, on the other hand, have been disliked since you got here. Your posts fall into two rough categories: bragging ("Sniper montage! Bungie forced me to dong on noobs!! I'm carrying dudes in MLG!!!") or whining ("Bungie won't introduce my custom gametypes! I could design a more competitive Halo than this!! I was forced to quit all those games!!!"). I've never played with you, so I don't know how that goes, but you are a figure of fun for many here, and people often discuss your posts and laugh at them in pre-game lobbies. You obviously irritate Bungie employees and yet keep going back to them for more snide remarks at your expense. The best compliment I can pay you is that there's a number of people in the HaloGAF community whose posts I usually skip, and whose avatars on a fresh page of the thread make me less inclined to read, and you are not the worst of them.
