I want to get some serious Halo in this afternoon and tonight; first time in a long time I don't have a lot of other work to do.
Also, do you guys use the Plasma Rifle often? I was just thinking about it because I started using them exclusively in a game of Social Slayer on Snowbound the other day just for kicks.
And . . .
I wish I could pick up Fallout 3 on a "whim," you fucking rich people.
Why can't people understand that in Team games it doesn't matter if you have 20 kills if you still have 19 deaths? Is simple math that hard to understand?
But it really hurts your team. In a team slayer game, if your overall K/D spread is positive, YOU CAN'T LOSE.
It's pretty simple. Kills don't mean anything if you're dying just as much or more. It may be alright in Lone Wolves when your deaths are spread out among a lot of opponents, but it kills your team in Team Slayer.

20 Kills 0 Deaths and 0 Flag Caps can lose a game too.

Now you know I wasn't talkin' bout no Objective games.
Those are pretty much guaranteed wins with the Bees anyway.

I think I'd aknowledge the 22 kills guy as their best player, and I think I'm going to pity the 22 kills guy. After all, he probably got all those on his own, without any assists, backup, or coordination.
He's probably a pretty decent player, as long as he is with compitent teammates.
While we usually play Halo 2 on Nov 9th, it's really hard to get anyone to play it anymore. Not only does it take forever to set up the maps, but the online is a wasteland of douches and superbouncers and whatnot.
So for this one I think we should focus on Halo 3, since most everyone will probably be on Recon next year.
So what is the haps?
On November 9th, I'm going to post a special map and a special gametype. Play this gametype/map with a lot of other people. And then you can win prizes!

SPECIAL BADMAN CONTEST FOR NOV 9
See all those magnificent pictures on Bungie Favorites with the overlit spartans? Or the Spartan with a sword in front of the moon? Or maybe Two overlit spartans with an extreme close up with sword in front of the moon on Lockout?
Fyre needs more of these types of shots. Send them to him, and the absolute worst one gets a Badman certified No-Prize.

ima get on soon.
also, if bungie put out more than halos in the last decade i think the forum ban would have more weight.
as is, EA has like, a starfleet of games, so getting banned from those is a tad harsher. (they probably deserved it, though).

Maybe, however, if I saw my opponents with:
22 kills, 19 deaths
7 kills, 0 deaths
5 kills, 11 deaths
4 kills, 20 deaths
I think I'd aknowledge the 22 kills guy as their best player, and I think I'm going to pity the 22 kills guy. After all, he probably got all those on his own, without any assists, backup, or coordination.
