But then no one would buy them lol

That is SO cool! Who knew Bungie would be that clever? Love the name of it too, Sneakernet xD

Nope, Aura?

^ lolz And I always take H4F with a grain of salt. Sometimes his interpretations of things are just flat out wrong. Other times, he's right on the money. It's usually a coin toss between the two.

Die* lol and probably being burnt to death. I like fire. WYR go a month without internet, or a month without games?

I'm totally going to download that song and put it on my iPod. lmao

Personally, I like the idea of "Spartan Ops" (though I think they should change the name of it because it sounds a bit misleading). From what I've heard about this possible feature it actually has a story-line to it. Which is definitely different from your run of the mill game with a similar feature (and not just call of duty, there are actually quite a few out there). Spartan points, eh. They could come up with a better name. To me "Spartan points" sounds like something a 9 year old would come up with for a school project. Now let's talk about the multiplayer. Now, I've heard that they are making sprint default, but haven't heard whether they are going to decrease the normal walk speed (judging from Halo 3) to do so. I've also heard that the jump jets are going to come into play as well. So, by default everyone gets jump jets and sprint. I've HEARD that they are bringing back AA's, but didn't hear it from 343i, so I'm not sure what to make of it. I'll just leave AA's alone until they come out. Another rumor going around is random weapon drops during multiplayer games. Now, there are a couple of negatives for this. First, call-outs will have to be rethought (which isn't so bad because a hardcore SWAT player has no idea where "shotgun" is in slayer games, making the callout useless). Secondly, players will not be able to memorize where their favorite weapons will spawn. Third, it adds a bit of randomness to the game, which detracts from skill (which some may say that that's not a bad thing, but be honest. If you put the time in the game to actually get good at it and got beat by someone who just bought the game because of a coincidence, it would piss you off). All the negatives aside though, let's talk about the positives of random weapon drops. First, people won't be able to camp power weapons. I've never seen someone say "Oh hey, that's cool, that guy has had the rocket launcher the entire game!" in a sincere voice. Being totally honest, the only power weapons that take any sort of skill are snipers. If you aren't good with default weapons, then you shouldn't be taking the game seriously, let alone be in MLG. Secondly, it encourages callouts that can span across multiple gametypes. As I said previously, calling someone out based on a weapon spawn is half hazard at best. Third, it encourages map movement. The funnest and most satisfying games to win are when everyone is moving around the map, rather than taking a certain area and holding it with power weapons (in my own opinion at least. If you disagree, I respect your right to be wrong). Now let's talk about the 1-50 ranking system based on wins and losses. Halo is mainly a team game. Having a ranking system based only off of wins and losses is all well and good if everyone around the world has 3 friends who can play with them whenever they so desire. If you are a lone wolf, and are very good, then you won't usually get paired with teammates who are also good. You will get paired with bad players to compensate for the good players on the other team. This makes it pure chance if you get a 50 without playing with friends. Also, that sort of system works in a way that allows A LOT of exploitation, which is difficult to counteract. I can practically see MLG people reading this plugging their ears and going "nanananannananana can't hear you", but the fact remains. Last little thing, I know it's a bit cliche, but don't judge a book by it's cover. You can cry and complain all you want, but unless you've actually played the game you cannot accurately judge it. And if you've already played Halo 4, then you belong in prison, not on a forum.

A pen... um to write things on things? WYR be Jar Jar Binks or Kenny from Southpark?

They are going to be released when 343i releases it's new fileshare system.

Honestly, I'm good with them gone. Both maps were uneven for SWAT. On pinaccle, if you didn't camp you either have to get lucky or you die. A lot. On uncaged, Blue Team spawns with the advantage of having two areas nearby that are major camp zones (elbow and the cage), and are decidedly difficult for red to obtain. Not to mention the advantage of having the reticle against the cliff rather than against the sky (which is the same color as the reticle, if you hadn't noticed). Overall, they are decent slayer maps, but not that great in SWAT simply for the fact that one is a camp haven and the other one gives a one up to blue team (which means that if two teams of equally skilled players went against each other, the ones on red team would lose). Now, what they should do is add some other maps to make up for the hole in the vote.

I ban Firen4 for not likeing cookies! D:

Lol actually a couple of the guys I've seen teabagged. Don't worry though, don't think they will be doing THAT again. xD

I ban FTG for being in a clan that I've watched murder my teammates in matchmaking. Poor jimmy...

Another thing it may be is that the Forge goes a bit... funny when you go offline and then back online. Make sure your XBL connection is secure. Another reason it may be doing this is because it's loading forge world. All you have to do when going from map A to map B is switch to a non-forge world map (like sword base) and let it load a bit before you go to the other map.

There's also a couple of glitches about the beacons. Try deleting your save file (this shouldn't affect your achievements), and restart the campaign from the beginning. It worked for me

Welcome to the forum. I've been seeing a lot of your clan around lately. I hope you enjoy your stay here.

I know a guy that knows a fix for the RDoD. I'll try to get him on here to explain how he does it. It's a long shot, but he has extensive experience modding consoles and repairing them, so I'll give it a shot

The moderators he is speaking of didn't MEAN to start an argument, and they didn't participate in the ensuing flame war. If it's the one I think he is speaking of, that is. The timing of the post makes me think it is the one I saw.

I seriously don't see how I didn't make this list.

5 I think. Idk, hard to keep track. That's not including layovers and whatnot. What is your favorite weapon? In real life or video games?

The thing is that yes, in the most part people have stopped fighting in posts. However, there is still fighting disrupting the shoutbox. About anything, really. Whenever I see it I personally get annoyed, because half the time it is dedicated or trusted members engaging in it. I guess these members (who will remain unnamed but they damned well know who they are) think that being a dedicated member is just for the shiny new member name. That's not how it's supposed to work though. New members are supposed to be able to look up to trusted and dedicated members. How can someone look up to someone who is calling someone dirty names instead of taking the high road and just ignoring them? I sure as hell wouldn't ask a guy how to do something when I saw him rage at someone for 15 minutes straight, ignoring all other lines of dialogue but the ones from the person he is raging at. It's immature and imbecilic. If you can't help yourself then you shouldn't be a trusted or dedicated member.

Best line in a Machinima EVER! "F*** yeah! My s*** explodes!" xD

Well that's what I'm saying. For the next map pack, it will be all other people's.

I... Like... Parties that never end. Burritos at 6 AM. Dogs that love cats. And twins. ;D If you get that joke, you win +50 internetz.
