My friend was extremely excited when he found out about the head to head.

Then his 360 RROD'd.

Hopefully people who don't have the new maps can still play.

You know is great that Bungie does this stuff but why they don't eliminate friendly fire for good.That would decrease the f@g0try a bit.

I don't think I'll ever return to Halo 3.The MP mode is awkward,the move of the crosshair is just annoying.

I'll wait for the new TF2 maps and achievements instead also that I haven't played GTA online.

They're reducing BR starts in Team Slayer.

As Tom Petty said... Time to move on...

Yes, because obviously if it doesn't have a BR start it's shit. Learn to make use of the AR and stop bitching. If BR start is so important, go play MLG like we all know you fantasize being a part of.

Wow. Someone's cranky.

MLG is too sped-up to play 100% of the time. But if I have to "learn to make use of the AR" then I might as well "learn" another game.

It's about having fun, and holding an AR across these huge Halo maps--which Bungie made, not us--is hardly fun.
