    so how many points are the new maps, and how many points will the PA game be? Oh, and somebody said something about buying Zune points instead of the 360 ones - that'll work for both, right?

    Dead? Not even close.

    But the community has started to turn into a wretch that turns away all players that can't get a no-scope blindfolded.

    It's getting tiresome, and I've found myself only playing if I'm with TBK.

    It seems that GTA IV has drawn away most of the casual crowd.

    I think by the time summer is here things will have settled a bit and more people will be back to playing Halo.

    Halo 3's community can be on par with CoD4, depending on who you're playing with.

    People don't take CoD4 as serious most of the time though, but be prepared for "FUCKING JUGGERNAUT/Shotgun/flash/P90 NOOB!" "Stupid fucking campers!" (comment about snipers, whos JOB it is to camp.)

    Starcraft actually has a good community but gl with that :lol:. I bet most of you'd love a lot of the UMS games though, which are like minigames but there's some rpgs that're hours long.

    Or we could all play Gears :lol:

    Halo 3 Pro- Can play online & split screen at the same time
    Cons- Quitters, and new people can't join a game in progress. Which seems really redundant. Like, really really redundant, since it's been around forever.

    CoD4-Pros- Join a game in progress, no unfair weapon spawns/camping
    Cons- no splitscreen online. Team Killing, stupid ass spawn times in Hardcore (ranging from 2 to 20 seconds and for the most part it's random.) Most gametypes suck.

    I've been torturing myself with Brawl's online, but that can't go on.

    I found out after about 2 weeks that it just wasn't going to work for me. Its a game that requires way too much precision for lag to be there.

    Meanwhile, mariokart, halo and rockband have been absorbing most of my time.

    For the redded part...you can acutally do this, but only in custom games which seems a little silly. I'm sure there must be a reason but I can' think of one. I guess cause if you join a game right at the end and the team you join loses you lose rank. GOD acutally that must be it, that happened a lot in CoD4 cause they are trying to balance the team so you get to join the losing team in the last like 5 seconds. So really I'm glad they did it this way

    True, I should've said non-custom, but you don't lose anything in CoD4 really which is good. Another big problem with CoD4 is the whole "host ended game" bullshit.

    Ranked Matchmaking should remain the way it is now, with the opponent seeking, lack of cross-team voice, and "one game then move on" mentality.

    Social Matchmaking, however, should be built around lobbies, ala Call of Duty 4. You keep playing with the same group of 16, max party size 8. It should also incorporate join in progress.

    As long as I'm wishing, I want a pony.

    I would play but it takes a lot of effort to hook my box the fuck up, we did do pretty good in those few matches we played. Yeah going 20+ in match making and still losing sucks huge nuts...

    I'm back home early. yesterday I was admitted to the Rapid City hospital with an extremely accelerated heartbeat. Blood tests/etc showed nothing, but they managed to slow it down.

    It was starting to pick up again so we left for Omaha. Doctors couldn't figure out anything else, and it seems to have cleared up once i got back, but i still feel a bit nauseous, so I'm still not 'back'.

    But I thought I'd just tell you guys that I can read your posts again.

    also it's kind of weird waking up the next day and you still have the EKG leads on you.
