This times a hundred. The usual reason why I vote for Countdown is to go Invis and assassinate like crazy. Unfortunately, BTB has a lot of grenade spam and players to make that truly difficult on that map.

I just roll with Sprint 90% of the time and it's all peachy.

I really miss the Classic gametypes, it's good to have variety between more Reach type games with armor abilities and the Halo 1,2,3 style games that have AR starts and no AAs.

Slayer Pro?

I find its alot harder to be consistent in Reach, I may have a winning streak, then suddenly lose one out of the blue, or login the next day and be rubbish (doesnt happen much). I think theres just alot of variables in Reach that we never had in H3, armour abilities play a massive role in that.

Early game when you're limited mostly to light weapons, fighting Elites is all about combo mastery. You have to take them out quickly before too many build up in an area. Also, they tend to focus obsessively on the last area they saw you, so changing your firing position frequently helps you stay alive enough to finish one off. Even if it's just the other side of a crate, any movement helps.

Pretty much this. I'm not playing Reach right now, but I'd still hold onto it and see if it becomes better in the future. Remember, we still have the inevitable Blackops douche migration and new maps to look forward to.

Asylum is a map that should never have existed. I've hardly played anything more terrible.

No, I'm talking about good old Slayer where everybody starts exactly equal with their handy AR and pistol with no AAs (or maybe sprint). To me, Halo has always been about everybody starting out on an exactly equal foot at the beginning of the game, which is something that Reach destroyed.

Considering that it's the weekend and the rate the meter has been filling up this week (assuming it's not some bullocks meter that was pre-generated weeks ago) I'd have to say we'll cap it off by Sunday. They probably won't lift the cap until Monday though :/

I got all of today's within 20 minutes, there's probably going to be a pretty big jump today.
I was only half way to Commander grade 1 last I checked anyway, so the cap isn't a problem. It really shouldn't be for anyone.

I suggest you quit your raging because its clearly clouding your memory. Slayer Pro is AR and Pistol with sprint, no motion tracker. Which is exactly what you want.

There is also Slayer DMR Pro, but thats not what I said.

I'm a colonel, you unlock gingnir and mark 6 at brigadier. No weekly update today? Its 23:38GMT, I thought they got released earlier in the day.

Wow, just found some dude that has 12 DAYS on firefight..wtf!? Jcap played alot, but he only has 2 days.
