They do look horrible I think. My only complaint with forge so far is all the rounded edges and notches. Makes it easier to ensure they're lined up, but editing coordinates does that too so.... At least, on the positive not, the notches and holes are flat as far as hit detection goes so you don't get caught up on them and grenades don't fall in.

Half your problem is playing BTB. I know, generally I only play BTB when I'm playing in a bigger party and just having fun. Its what we play when we don't feel like playing the game seriously, and just wanna goof off. Guaranteed, many other people treat it the same. I like to just run around and try to take vehicles, or grab rocket launchers. I always die a ton, but its great fun. I'm sure it pisses off teamates like you though who are wanting to win.

It's easy to not get killed by snipers. Once you die once, you know where you got shot from. So when you spawn, just avoid putting yourself where the sniper can see. If they are good, they know the line of sights and probably will kill you a second time. However, that just helps you pinpoint their sniping post. Just spawn, scope in with your DMR to their spot and start putting shots on the sniper, and that'll rattle em a bit, giving you time to run to cover. Then you can hopefully duck and dodge to somewhere you can engage the sniper close range. Provided they aren't sick at close range no scoping, you should hopefully be able to take em out.

It can be a bit annoying when someone takes my assassination, but i'm only mildly annoyed when it happens. In the end its still a point for my team. No sense getting pissed about it. Sometimes I will take a teammates assassination, but that's only when I've been shooting someone, and I get them down to one shot, and then a teammate jumps in from behind them and starts assassinating them. Then I'll just take my last shot and keep my kill.

I've never hit the xp cap, i must be lucky!

Its totally fair, it was my own fault for letting myself get killed that made the other person win. If I'd played a bit better, I wouldn't have had a problem.

I've been quite liking Regecide. It gets intense when you become the king because suddenly there's all that pressure to make sure you don't die and give someone that boost. I've played a couple rounds where I was king right up until the end when someone killed me, got the bonus, and won the match 10 points ahead of me. Good times! Intense!

So far my favourite loadout is DMR Magnum Plasma Grenades Promethean Vision Shielding Dexterity I also have a second loadout the same, except I replace the DMR with an AR. I tend to use the former on larger maps with better shooting lanes, and the latter on smaller maps, where close range kills are more frequent. I love the promethean vision because I get killed by crouch corner campers a lot less often. It's also good when someone is in Camo.

Hey guys, just figured I'd make an intro thread here. Just created my account and I plan to lurk on the forums and occasionally make posts here and there. I've played all the halo's since the first one came out. So far I'm loving halo 4! Pretty nice game. Maybe I'm just easy to please Cheerz!
