    it's your consistently poor attitude. playing with you muted does little to solve the problem. you are insufferable when you are doing poorly, and since you are bad you often complain.
    i'm done hearing it sir, g'day

    I played three games with the group today, and we only won one of them. The onlyi time during those three games I was complaining was when the core bounced off into the ravine. So whatever.

    Sorry about ignoring the invite josh, had a friend come online, and we rarely get to play together, and he rapes guys hard, so we just did some BTB.

    And with that, I'm already at 15/50 for the weekly, and I just hit Commander. I'm sitting at 410k cR and I still don't know what to do with it. Part of me wants to get Pilot, but I was thinking of saving up for Pestilence, but that would take awhile to get. I also want Gold visor. That shit looks really nice with my EVA.

    It's like I'm to afraid of buying something because I think I might get buyers remorse.

    Birthday Party always always makes me look for a dead Grunt when I get killed while using it. Every. Time. It's just a conditioned response at this point; I've been killing Grunts with GBP on for far longer than having myself explode into confetti. I always have about a half-second mental disconnect where I wonder why I hear the Grunt headshot noise and then always have to remember that it's me.

    But I don't care. Confetti for everyone!

    And people with flaming helmets should never try to hide. My brother was waiting under some stairs to spawn me and then got all defensive when I pointed out the fact that you can see through the stairs and his head was on fire. I didn't get to spawn by him.

    Okay, all old FRs to the metatag just got accepted.

    If you send a message and it doesn't get accepted right away, it is because I am a lazy jerk who doesn't check it regularly.

    So just pester me through PM or in the thread if you send a request and it doesn't get accepted for a while.

    Also, I still need the first metatag on the second's Friends List so we have a full account of everybody who's playing, so if whoever's in charge would shoot me a request soon, I'd appreciate it.

    Don't let the other players make them happy. They should cheer with you, not at you!

    I came down with the stomach virus from hell this weekend, and did not play at all. It can be tough to play Halo in your living room when you are spending 15 minutes of every hour in the bathroom.

    lol I was thinking that too, but I resisted the urge.


    as far as the challenge, what have you guys been playing to get wins? Last night I went with SWAT, since the games are usually shorter than the other types, and I'm not really a fan of rumble pit.

    Multi-team and Team Slayer have been so "ELITE SLAYER 24x7y" lately though. It's the worst.

    The game split. Literally in two. Lookfree and I ended up in two completely separate games - I came second in mine and he came first, despite us both being against two teams of two.

    After the game it decided mine was the legit one and erased all memory of Lookfree's.

    Ahh, I wouldn't bother filing it as a bug report. That has happened since Halo 3 at least.

    I remember this happened to me and lookfree in Halo 3 rumble pit.

    The two of us got split from the other 6 Bees, and we ended up playing juggernaut, just the two of us, while the other group played their own. I remember because lookfree was letting me get the juggernaut frenzy, since I spawned as the juggernaut first.

    The game ended up not counting, and the medal I got was never actually added to the medal chest.

    For some reason I keep switching weapons even when I"m not even pressing my switch weapon button (I play boxer). In general this happens within the first few seconds of a game, as I take my first shot. or try to (this is in SWAT, btw)

    Has that happened to anybody else? The controller I was using is pretty much new, and I haven't had any "Y" button related misfires in other games... so... yea.

    I switched over to my ol' faithful red one. but has that happened to anyone else?
