    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?

    I like stats.

    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.

    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.

    He's probably a pretty decent player, as long as he is with compitent teammates.

    Thought I'd announce this now.

    TBK BIRTHDAY SPECTACULAR CONTEST

    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!

    LAY THOSE PRIZES DOWN ON ME

    Category: most accumulated points throughout the day
    Stipulation: only games with at least 6 people will count, and only 3 of your highest scoring games.

    Prize: 1200 (15$) Microsoft Points sent to you via PM, in time for the Mythic Map Pack


    Category: best screenshot
    Stipulation: screenshot must be from one of your games. You MUST upload the screenshot to your fileshare to prove it came from one of those games (it'll show up as a media file when looking at the game)

    I'm looking for comedy here. Bonus points if the screenshot has an elite in it. It's my fucking money, my contest decision!

    Prize: 1600 (20$) Microsoft Points sent to you via PM, in time for the Mythic Map Pack
    OR
    3 Months (20$) of Xbox Live GOLD membership sent to you via PM

    Category: best film clip/highlight
    Stipulation: Film must be from one of your games. You MUST upload the film clip to your fileshare to prove it came from one of those games (it'll show up as a media file when looking at the game). Not accepting gamevee submissions.

    Get an awesome killtrocity? Did you surf a hog into the moon? Show it to me and try to impress me! Bonus points for good directorial work in-engine.

    Prize: 1600(20$) Microsoft Points sent to you via PM, in time for the Mythic Map Pack.
    OR
    3 months (20$) of Xbox Live GOLD membership sent to you via PM


    BUT WAIT THERES MORE
    Entering any of these categories will earn you a spot in my Awesome FyreRaffle for a free copy of

    HALO 3: RECONZ

    which will be ordered and shipped to you as fast as humanly possible upon release.

    You can gain up to one spot in the raffle per category you enter, for up to 3 entries! I will be holding more opportunities throught the year to earn more raffle spots, this is the probably going to be the easiest ones to get though.


    FINE PRINT MOTHERFUCKERS READ IT
    I reserve the right to not award prizes. Microsoft Points may come after Mythic Map Pack release. I reserve the right to switch out prizes with one of equal or lesser value. Halo 3 Recon will be replaced with 3200MS points if MS is going to charge 60$ for it. Must be 18 or have parent's permission to enter contest. Enter as long as you have a way to redeem United States prepaid codes. If for some reason I cannot give you a prize due to location/legal issues, I will make a 20$ donation in your name to either Child's Play or the Brian Morden Foundation, your choice. You must have a account on the PA forums with a registration date of no later than October 1, 2008. Multiple accounts = banned from contest.

    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.

    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).
