    I was wondering how I could play with you guys? Do I just leave my live Id here or is there a place with all the people playing?

    Edit: My tag is valescu, if anyone wants to play.

    On Firefight last night:

    I was firing at a Skirmisher who was just standing still. I thought the network connection had gotten screwy, but I kept firing anyway. Then the Skirmisher faded away. It was a hologram. Motherfucker tricked me!

    So I recommended a file to my friends

    And I thought I could choose who it would recommend to. But it recommended to EVERYONE. And the image name is kinda spoiler I guess? So if you got a file recommendation from me and haven't beaten the game yet, dont click it. That would be irresponsible. On your part. Because I blame you.

    It doesn't send a message to anyone. under the file browser is a tab called "Recommendations" and all the files friends mark will appear there.

    I hopped into a Falcon on BTB Slayer on Spire and some random guy jumped on the turret. I took off and this guy was actually a decent shot. I think in the end I had 16 assists from just floating around the top of the Spire.

    Taking out 2 of their Falcon spawns was not bad either.

    I was horrible with cloaking til I found an energy sword and started spying people coming towards me. I'd start backing into a corner, cloak, and wait.

    I felt dirty, but I quite easily got my first sword spree doing this.

    I probably would've used the sword til it was used up entirely, too, had I not made a stupid mistake and got pinched between 3 guys.

    Unless you're using it to take out vehicles

    which you should do all the time because it is great at it and fucking hilarious

    You want to feather it, or when someone is coming to melee you stick the ground below you and armor lock

    or frag grenade

    you will get kills and be happy.

    So has anybody else's games today seem plagued with, I guess host migrating? Game starts, then it fades out and shows the scoreboard, starting game, does that every few minutes throughout the game. Every game today has done that, across a number of lobbies. Very annoying.

    Hmmm..I think we should shoot for a couple metatags. TBK:Reach 1 & 2, or something such as that? I'd like to say I'd have no problem managing it, though I'd be worried I wouldn't be on often enough to do so. I realize Reach is a pretty huge release with the potential number of PA'ers wanting to be on the list, but it's pretty much the best, most reliable way of gathering everyone up. Let me know what you guys think.

    Man you could have gotten way more than $86 for that if you held onto it.

    Anyway, I've been on a roll today. I've got every achievement except the legendary ones and the Captain/Lt. Colonel ones. I got every avatar helmet too not even intentionally.

    So that's pretty nice.

    I think getting up to Captain and Lt. Colonel will take a good amount of time however.

    I got the "don't die in a mission on legendary" just by taking the "first" mission nice and slow and letting the rest of the squad do the heavy lifting. I doubt I'll have as easy of a time as the game goes on. Luckily I don't need to worry about dying.

    Honestly to echo what someone said before, fuck Slayer Classic / Slayer Pro / SWAT / Insert any fucking retarded gamemode that removes 90% of the content from the game. Having a single weapon / ability either de jure or de facto is unacceptable in a 800 pt Arcade game, let alone a full retail. That shit needs to be segregated from the decent game modes.

    This should be a link to my file set for JERKPACKS.

    What is Jerkpacks you ask? Well it is a map and gametype designed around FFA Slayer in a suitable environment. The ruleset has the basics such as the movement, damage, health and weapon choices, etc. These can easily be tweaked before the game begins. There is an option to enable teams and the map has 5 Red and Blue spawns. Just enable teams and manually split up into Red and Blue to try Team Slayer on the map.

    Really it is designed for frantic FFA. Gravity Hammer is the best choice. If you give it a go I hope you have fun with it.
