It's not a stretch, it's history. Have you ever played TF2 after an update?

It's a stretch to posit that if I played Halo yesterday evening for an extended period of time that every player in every game would be going explicitly for assists, even if they had already reached the target. Especially when the prize was 1000cR! I don't dispute, of course, that there will be lots of people in the concurrent population of hundreds of thousands at it. Perhaps even a significant percentage. Solution to that is design better challenges. I think we both agree 50 assists is not one of the better examples. It's early days yet, let them work this out once they've mined the data. It'll be more revealing than our prejudices for sure.

More importantly, the challenges are at least fun in many ways even if I'm wrong about them being leverage-able for anything else. I need to pull my finger out to get the weekly one done. Only got tonight :S

Yes, you really should try to eat and sleep sometimes :p

Do you need to be a gold member to do these challenge things? I have one, 1 month card left and i'm hanging on to it until i'm good enough to kick Acerts butt.

Well, you may be practicing for a while >:P

Especially since he doesn't cheat and use a mouse.

Practice I shall, but I'll need more than that, more like divine intervention is what I need in beating you guys.

My only hope is my unique style of hiding, spamming grenades from halfway across a map and hoping opponents are more drunk than me ;)

And yes I know you don't drink so that's my main advantage out the window,Grift and FW I think I will take :D

According to you they suck ;)

To Roxwell's benefit I think I had 2 or 3 games in MP matchmaking. I don't know the maps, weapons, etc.

Btw, Grift plays pretty well with his chemical enhancements.

This series plateaued on the first one. Just keeps getting worse and worse.

Yo, gamertag's Ronsauce if anyone ever wants to play some Firefight or Team Slayer and has no other friends online.

Except the multiplayer has gotten better, and the single player in Reach is actually a ton of fun.

This is called trolling if it isn't backed with more than something than a negative statement. Negative positions are ok, but give the courtesy of saying why.

Thanks.

I'll see if I can send you at least a friend request tomorrow- I don't have much time to play games though. Might get lucky and be on at the same time :)

After finishing the campaign i really have to agree that it was on the weak side, i mean...you hardly cared about the characters at all and even though the end was a nice tie-in with combat evolved the entire campaign just left me with a very bland impression. Wasn't terrible but it was not something i will remember either. It's very obvious that the Multiplayer is where it's at.

Yay, back up!

We can gang up on FW and run around shouting 'never fear the British are here'.
No need to worry the Americans as they will take care of each other with friendly fire ;)

Yeah there is no flow to the SP. It's like okay here's your scenario, here's what you'll be riding in, and you get to try out this ability on this scenario. Now go! Gave me a COD feeling. Like they NEED to present me with some "cool" new way to play each time.

I'd say the second one is the quickest.

Well that's all the Halo I can play this morning. The firefight and campaign challenges will have to wait til this evening. I should have done them this morning instead. I hate playing with random people. No communication is fine if people at least attempt to stick together, hold ground, etc. Most people just run around aimlessly and I seem to suffer. I love FFA, but I can't seem to play well when it's me versus my team. Then again, I could have played rumble pit instead. Multiteam was brutal. Oh well, it was still fun :)
