  1. I want them to have a baby. A perfect hybrid between the two. What is your favorite Halo to play SWAT on?
  2. They should take the color pallet from games like Need for Speed and put them in Halo!
  3. One of your pics isn't working anymore. And usually what I do is make a Matchmaking challenge for 200 headshots in 3 hours or 4 hours. Also, it seems they have lowered the amount of credits on the challenges.
  4. Well glad it's not suicide o.o I didn't really get a chance to see you that often, so I hope you come back soon.
  5. Why do you even have to ask if someone wants to talk about Halo?
  6. Mint chocolate chip ice cream with some peanuts on top
  7. I actually made a list! Yayz! Thanks for everyone who voted for me
  8. Right, don't really play that but sounds good to me. Mmkay. Didn't even get a chance to see those maps in the mix. I thought that countdown was popping up more often. Also, the big-party team matching. Noticed that too. It's weird when two parties of four people, all with mics, show up in the same lobby. Not sure if this is a good thing or not. SWEET MOTHER OF GOD YES! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!! YAY! HIP HIP HOOORAY!!!! Now they just need to add new maps. Perhaps some from MLG or Slayer even. Huh, that might actually make arena playable... Hmm? How would that be relevant to... OHHHHH heh heh heh. Overall, like the update. They now need to work on adding more maps to SWAT. SWAT is one of this biggest playlists, all day round. It also happens to be where a bunch of the loyal halo fans have been congregating as of late, so if they make it unplayable... Thousands of people will be sad And mad >.>
  9. In the newer consoles it's actually the "Red Dot of Death" or RDoD. They can be avoided in pretty much the same ways. And thank you
  10. Did you know that every single giveaway prize is payed for by the mods themselves?
  11. SOMEONE ignored my post entirely. Your number of achievements in Halo is bound to be a factor in other Halo releases. You can't say they are pointless, because there are still Halo games being made. No one can really say either way. Also, recon being cool is really just a matter of opinion. For me? Hayabusa <3
  12. From what's been said by 343i, they are trying to integrate the multiplayer into the storyline, rather than it being a random stand-alone. This means that not only is the campaign going to have a story, but there is going to be a story for the people who just play multiplayer too! True, this means no playable Elites in multiplayer, but that doesn't rule them out for Halo 5 and Halo 6. People are forgetting that this is 343i's first Halo game under their own steam. They are bound to make a few mistakes, but are also bound to correct them in future releases. I myself am a Spartan player, always have been. I will miss seeing random elites in matchmaking though. Especially in Halo 3 SWAT. xD My suggestion to those who won't be buying Halo 4 is to rent it from Gamefly at least. At LEAST give it a shot. Don't condemn a game that has been good to you for over a decade before you even put it in your disc drive. If you end up liking it, then buy it. If not, oh well. No harm, no foul.
  13. It would be amazing as DLC though. Every single Halo map that was ever in matchmaking remastered (as long as they don't make any changes except the graphics and maybe weapons) would be awesome. I remember when the Anniversary DLC came out, I almost drooled a bit. This would be at least 3x that!
  14. You know what words you are and aren't allowed to post, and you know that tone is transferred through text. You also know that children visit this site, and that's why profanity of any kind is prohibited. Another thing you know is not to bash other members. Those have ALWAYS been the rules. You've been here since August, have over 150 posts, and you are trying to tell me that you don't know these things? That you are completely innocent? Right. Well good luck in your future endeavors. Whatever they may be. Doubt they will be here though.
  15. Nearly halfway to Noble. Don't play as much as I used to though.
  16. Lol that video is two years old from that post xD And that guy has long since been banned. There are cheaters, but fewer actual modders than you might expect. The normal cheating is afking or partying up with 6 "guests" and two actual players. And even these guys get banned or rank reset more often than not.
  17. Calling me a liar does not make me one. Every single starting advantage listed DOES exist, and if players are good enough they can take advantage of them quite efficiently. I've done it, my friends have done it, and it's been done to us. So often in fact that quite a few of my friends actually quit playing SWAT because everyone and their mother ALWAYS voted those two maps, and they were utterly fed up with spawn camp games. I'd be in a party of four and we would be on the team with the advantage and try to vote for a different map out of pity, but people STILL voted for them. We occasionally got a couple guys who actually knew what they were doing who gave us a hard time of it, but for the most part we all went positive. Yeah, it's possible to get good enough on these maps to avoid the spawn traps of the disadvantaged teams, but you DO have to be better than your opponent for it. You also have to have teammates with pretty decent skill as well, otherwise you end up backpacking up Everest. I'm pretty sure they didn't take these maps out based on the forums. They have voting trackers, and they KNOW which maps are being played the most. They also aren't dumb enough to see 50 people complaining and 50000 people voting and choose the 50. I remember rumors going around back in the day that even Bungie was thinking of yoinking caged and pinnacle from SWAT. What they did instead was change the maps up a bit. That was based on their own opinions, not on the fans. If you want to argue that they are the best maps for SWAT ever due to people voting for them, then chew on this. Even on the original spawns for Pinnacle, people still voted for it more than most of the other maps. Same with Caged. You know why? Easy kills. A lot of people complained when they made Pinnacle slightly less lopsided, citing the exact same reasons that I showed in my previous post. I'm guessing you usually play with friends, or against people that aren't that good with their aim. Either that, or someone on your team grabs host a lot and you are very lucky. When you go in as a random though, Pinnacle and Uncaged can be hell on Reach. And if you are lagging a bit? Forget about it. The unbalanced gameplay IS there, and if you are on one of the teams with an advantage, then however many kills the other team got would be more on balanced maps. You can argue about it all you want, but I actually LISTED the advantages and disadvantages, and how they could potentially be used. You pretty much gave me a longer version of "Nuh uh, that's not right". I even said that if you weren't playing as a good team that the advantages and disadvantages would become VERY apparent, but you completely disregarded that because your experience was different. Yeah, you can get a first strike while you are on blue team on Pinnacle or red team on Uncaged, but not if your opponents know the ways you can do it and decide to sit there and wait for your head to pop up. The fact of the matter is that the balance of the maps isn't based on player skill, it's based on how the map is built, where the spawns are, where the firezones are, and on the assumption that the two teams are of equal skill to one another. If you put two different teams of exactly the same skill against each other on balanced maps, and remove the luck element, then the game will be a tie every time. If you do the same with Pinnacle and Uncaged, then there won't be a tie. That means that they are NOT balanced maps. Which means that they really shouldn't be in SWAT anyways. Don't try to make this something it isn't. You are angry that 343i took out popular maps without having a vote on it. Don't try to say the maps are perfect for SWAT when they aren't. A perfect map for SWAT would be one that is perfectly symmetrical and has shifting but protected spawns to avoid spawn traps. It shouldn't be easy to gain map and spawn control. It shouldn't be about who can get to the best camping spot the quickest. There are a few forge world maps that actually should make it into SWAT. Some of the MLG maps would be pretty intense and fun in SWAT, as well as some of the Slayer maps. I wish they would take the time to put some new maps in one of the largest playlists in the game. Also, interesting little sidenote here, did you know that Asylum isn't actually symmetrical? It may look like it, but it really isn't. Go into forge and edit the coords of both bases and see for yourself.
  18. Define "really high ranks" for me, because I was able to go from SGT G2 to General in about 2 weeks or so.
  19. I'd bloody love it to be. Custom games at LEAST. Have you ever had a RRoD or a RDoD?
  20. Idk what playlist your playing or how horrible your game went if a "reload this" medal came up, but when you get a killing frenzy it's on the board. Unless someone gets a running riot or higher, that is. Some medals that may not be on the board that should be is the perfection medal or the extermination medal though. I think that 3 killing sprees also deserves some attention. The medals are based on rarity and difficulty in getting them as far as I'm aware. In certain playlists it's almost impossible to get a perfection. Things like Sword Spree and Shotgun Spree shouldn't make the board though, because it's easy to get a spree with a power weapon. As far as first strike goes, the reason it's up there is because only one player can get it once per game, and it's fairly difficult to get. You are competing against the opposing team for the kill but you are also competing against your teammates for it. Killing sprees are difficult to come by for inexperienced players as well. The only way someone who is bad gets one is if they are against someone who is worse. Multikills are up there because they are a combination of luck and skill. The luck part is finding two players close enough together to kill them within four seconds of each other, the skill part is being able to potentially take on two or more opponents at once and come out on top. If no one in the game gets a killing spree or a multikill, it shows the "lesser" medals instead. And that's the way the "Top Medals Board" works.
  21. Yes, don't like how they made every other game with the books and pretty much threw the original tFoR out the window while they were making it. Do you know what color Master Chiefs hair is?
  22. Did you know that GermanShepherdD currently has the highest K/D and BPR of all of the mods?
