    They've asked us to start looking for BTB maps, and the more real geometry they're made out of, the better.

    Yeah but I clicked on the email 15 minutes after I got it and it said the survey was already closed. :(

    I got the Beta e-mail today. However, it's not letting me access the sign up and advising I try later, so seems to be a more general problem.

    Survey v2
    Survey Is Not Live

    We have had to suspend the survey for the moment due to technical difficulties. Don't worry, it'll be back soon and you'll get another chance to fill it out. You have not missed anything.

    We will get there people. I did email them a searing letter full of sarcasm. That should get the job done.

    The ELO-style Halo 2 system can't really come back.

    Maybe people will listen to me now that a Bungie employee has said it too.
    No they won't

    I needed to play a game of Halo 3 so that Bungie.net would stop saying I never played Halo 3. My choice: Rumble Pit. Game 10001? (palindrome!) Sandbox.

    Of course, the first thing I went for.

    qNu0nl.jpg

    I never used a BR. It was all burst fire AR and pistol work. Mostly burst fire AR work.

    Final kill of the game? A BR kid out on the dunes, attempting to run away from the might of my AR's doombullets. Cry more!

    Game details.

    I find them both fun.

    I'd prefer to play Reach multiplayer if I had to choose which one to play on a desert island, though.

    It's a spin on the Chess rating system. You are on the internet. Google ELO Rating, first result. Otherwise, face the wall of sarcasm.

    If google and wikipedia are blocked at your job, you should probably do work instead of talking about video games on a forum.
    Alternatively, how are those two blocked and not here.

    Halo 3 was my least favorite.

    ODST is my favorite game in the entire series.

    Master Chief is dry as hell. No personality whatsoever.

    Reach's cast was a step in the right direction, but I still had difficulty connecting with any of 'em.

    But Buck, Dare and rest of the cast in ODST were not only voiced well, but were characterized well and you really felt for 'em. They weren't genetically engineered supersoliders, they were more or less regular joes. The Batman to the rest of the Justice League so to speak.

    Also the VISR was a great addition to the gameplay and the stock ODST SMG is my favorite weapon in the entire series as well.

    Edit: Though I do realize that the above is not popular opinion.

    I'll second that, Zero. Reach's multi with the silenced SMG and the VISR would be the best combo.
