atom's not bad

[sevlag]

atom is every 12 year old's "mlg" map

both bases are smack dab facing each other with little to no cover when spawning
only real action happens in the middle, why bother to put that side walkway?
and suddenly GRENADES...GRENADES EVERYWHERE!!!
only weapons seem to be hammer, RL, and DMR on map
also why is it called "cliff hanger" if its not HANGING OFF the cliff"

[annihilation]

I still have yet to see the new maps.

[Pooky]

Bump, playlist update is out, no sign of that challenge display saying how close we are. Atom is an awful sniper map, theres just too many objects you cannot see past, like all above eye level.

Yeah, Bungie seems to have a fetish for putting Team Snipers on the absolute worst fucking maps possible. I used to love Snipers on Halo 3 when it went to maps like Valhalla, Sandtrap, and Avalanche. You know, SNIPING maps. But all they want to go to now is fucking garbage Blackout and Heretic, where the game is all about double shotting and melee attacks. I haven't even bothered trying Snipers on Reach.

This.
Pinnicale is one of the worst maps for snipers next to Countdown.

Pinnicale is one of the worst maps for Reach.

WHY THE FUCK ARE THE PEOPLE IM PLAYING WITH RETARDED?!

seriously i got into one game where i got the wraith and some 12 year old with downs thought it fun to cripple the wraith by circle strafing with a revenant and repeatedly shooting the wraith's exhaust port, of course i cant boot him when he betrays me, but the moment i kill him in retaliation i get booted

then on paradiso I tried playing elite slayer...NOPE, another 12 year old HAD to have the fucking ghost, so he stunned me as i was leaving and STUCK me, he killed me TWICE (once by stick and then running me down with the ghost)

I killed him ONCE and got booted

seriously at this rate im ready to strangle the idiot who thought it a good idea to go back to gaylo3's boot system where the system is LOL RANDOM instead of putting tick marks against betrayers

Son of a bitch.

I completed the Weekly-barely-and then proceeded to play a match of Firefight. Everyone left before the match started except for one other guy. Probably the most mature person I've ever played with on XBL and just before the final wave-the Xbox overheats.

I swear, Reach is the LAST 360 game I'll ever buy. The damn thing is pas warranty, so I can't get it replaced cheaply.

Just call them and ask them to start a repair. They don't usually check.

Yeah, I avoid Team Snipers matches (unless it was in BTB) because the Sniper is so easy to use now as compared to Halo 3. And I do agree, Pinnacle is one of my least favorite maps out there probably do to the level of DMR gametypes mixed with no limited areas for snipers and the Rocket Launcher, which baffles me why there is even one on there when there is no Banshee. I also want to know why there is a Rocket Launcher on Reflection; the map has enough hazards enough (Sort of liek Boneyard in Invasion towards the Elites) so why add the most hazardous weapon for close quarters to it already?

About the Overheating Xbox; just call Microsoft and raise hell; you'll get a free Xbox with 1-3 months of free XBL.
