This guy must have never turned off his xbox in the last week

Hell I thought I was bad almost never stopping playing but that guy seriously, must have never had a break or sleep o.o

I really didn't run into any profags until I hit warrant officer, but now every 6 games or so there's some guy who's quite literally memorized the respawn times for all heavy weapons and insists on always having the Sniper Rifle, even if it means TK'ing to get it. Also nobody ever seems to vote for anything exepct Pro gametypes in Team Objective and Slayer DMRs/Snipers in Team Slayer. I haven't seen an Assault Rifle since this morning. When there's a good gametype with good people, though, it's still great fun; I'm just seeing less and less of those.

imho it's time for a modassity gamenight soon now that people have had a couple of weeks to screw around with gameplay options and Forge.

Yeah, I'm forging a 6v6 Invasion ODST drop based map.
its gonna be pretty epic and we should play sometime soon.

We've played a couple of big games with alot of members. We had a FFA night the other day, jet packs with swords , snipers etc...I obviously spanked everyone and won. Earlier today we played few matches of invasion. But yeah we should organise something. Haemorrhage or the hang em high remake.

Wait, is that with or without the filters modified? I switched them up a bit, and the number of pricks has been reduced to just one every other match. I was put into a firefight match with two kids, and neither one swore, shouted or complained.

The more and more I play this in standard matchmaking, the more and more it's starting to feel like previous iterations. That is, all everyone ever wants to play is Slayer DMRs; it's still strafing BR-wanking... plus sprint! Oh and don't forget the one person that keeps a mental alarm clock set on the rocket spawn.

would you expect anything less from a multiplayer FPS?

Quake's even crazier about timing spawns, shit spawns in like 20 seconds

More or less a gripe that comes from the mentality that Bungie built this game from the ground up with all of the gripes of previous games in mind. To be perfectly frank, I'm counting the days until Reach competitive multiplayer becomes stale and binary like Halo 2 and 3 before it, and until all of the superpros figure out every nuance and glitch to break out of expected gameplay to win against all us terrible casuals polluting the non-arena playlists.

Though don't get me wrong, I'm doing what I can to enjoy it in the meantime. I've had a number of fun games so far.

Fuck matchmaking, firefirght is amazing in reach.

I'll have gbp by Wednesday.

Sniper attack + unlimited ammo + Focus Rifle = gggggg

I threw together a HPC-style Glood Gulch, with a banshee included. I kept the Reach heavy weapons, since those would actually work better to take out banshees than the original HPC fuel rod gun, etc. Having a banshee feels like old times. :3

And I agree, I'd love to have a Modacity game night.
