Halo CE! Halo 2 was not impossible like the library mission on Halo 1.. Yeah sure, Halo 2 was tough but I was damn good at Halo 2 and once you knew the ins-and-outs of the campaign it was a matter of musclememory. Halo CE was the hardest for me, maybe not all levels were as difficult as the others. But it had it's moments were you would put down your controller and lose hope. The hardest for me was Halo CE, but the one I enjoyed the most was Halo 2. ^you sir^ are a lie .. Not even the fastest covered side-step can save you sometimes.. We all go down by them, all of us.

^slam dunk^ Personally I see alot of bad ratios in BTB but ever now and then I'd see a few guys with 2.0+ (I'm currently standing strong with a ratio of 2.4) but in Halo 4's BTB you have no need to fear of one or two pro killers, weapons and teamwork can easily overcome them. Ratios don't really determine ones skill. I play 2v2 with good friends that have 2.0+ and still get beat by some scruby kids with 1.2 or lower. Teamwork, map placement, angles, powerweapons can easily throw a monkeywrench in any badass's game plan. Now back in H2 and H3 when you would be matched up with people of the same rank/skill it was alot harder to keep a really good ratio. As of late the "class warfare" has dissolved, and everyone is facing everyone. So to answer your question BenevolentImperator, NO! I think the average ratio is alot lower than 1.6.

It's done! We now know what ^this^ means! She pulled a number on us, Base64 put into Javascript then Rot13'd... Follow along if you want to decode the message and find out for yourselfs what 343ibot said first un-Rot13 this --> "IUquoFO3LKZtnTIlMFN6XD%3Q%3Q" <-- (put it in the second bar on the right side of "<<Rot13>>") You should get this "VHDHBSB3YXMGAGVYZSA6KQ%3D%3D" Now this was the show stopper! The java changes it just enough for the Base64 decoder to be thrown off. when decoded it came out to look like this: VHDHBSB3YXMGAGVYZSA6KQ%3D%3D but needs to look like this to be fully decoded: VHdhbSB3YXMgaGVyZSA6KQ== Apparently %3D equals = in Java. And with enough patience the letters were figured out. Final step! Now put "VHdhbSB3YXMgaGVyZSA6KQ==" into this Base64 decoder And bam! You got your message! You sly little devil you!

It's awesome isn't it!

When you don't upgrade your supplypads ^biggest tell-tale sign there is^

Not everyone is uses the BR.. If they did I would never run out of Ammo lol. You might be right about people not using the AR as much but I see em out there all the time, even in BTB matches on big maps. I don't think the BR really dominates as a primary weapon today. Alot of people are using it's counter part the Carbine which is a fast shooting rival. And even Reach's ole glory, the DMR is still used like crazy and makes a nice secondary if your sporting anything else. It also sounds like you are not aware of the Halo 4 title update we've had over the last few months. The BR has been beefed up slightly. I think these updates has done us some justice. http://www.halopedia.org/Halo_4_Title_Updates

Guilty! I quit all the time, only cause of the map or game type. But i pretty much agree with Mr. Wallace. Makes you wonder where that "change host mechanic" is from Halo 3.. Anyone remember that? If you had a laggy host in Halo 3 you only had him for a minute then the game would switch to a different host.. It wasn't flawless but it worked. I never understood why devs leave out features of their previous games, especially important ones.

This! You're out of touch.. I'm outta touch, but I'm outta my head when your not around!

My Gamertag comes from lyrics to a Primus song which was a cover of Pink Floyd's "Have a Cigar".. Believe it or not in the 90s Primus was pretty popular. (to a degree) For those of you who don't know who they are their a funky rock band with a badass bassist named Les Calypool. Their known for also doing the South Park intro. The lyrics go as: "Well, I've always had a deep respect, and I mean that most sincerely. The band is just fantastic of the town you are the talk, but hey who the hell's this guy they call Bob Caulk?" Bob Caulk was my first Gamertag and after about 2-3 years MS made me change it, so I changed to Bob McCaulk to spite them.. then again just last year I had to change it for the second time so now it's "Bob McCack".. More deliberate ah? They should have never told me to change, it gets progressively worse each time. Welp thats the story..

Nice screen shots.. Think I'm gonna try it out. fitting name too.

Lets see if we can decode it..

If there was a secret plot to take over the forum and the members of the staff were being assassinated one by one. slowly working their way up to Twam. Of course Twam would be quite hard to find due to his current whereabouts. I wonder if hes still in that old renovated missile silo down in Chile that he got from the CIA for trading them secret foreign technologies... whoops

Hog rush? are you serious? well, if it works.. good luck with that against generals I never knew why everyone started rushing in Halowars, RTS games are not meant to end in the first 10 minutes lol

Banned for your favorite weapon being a Storm rifle!

It's free? sweet.. I doubt I'll replace it with my 343 Industries shirt, but it's downloaded (FYI the 343 Industries shirt is available for 80 MSP)

Damn 114,734 gamercards generated not bad for a website that start back in May... And the cards look pretty awesome! Heres mine.

I don't know if splitting the population of BTB slayer is a good idea. Due to the current Halo 4 population I don't think it's a good idea to divide any playlist like that. It takes long enough to find a match at 4:00 in the morning. Why not sprinkle some objective into BTB as is? It's not like they haven't done it before... Halo 2

I pity a fool who plays random... You only need half a brain to pull this off anyway. In RTS games strategys like this need to be developed and perfected. I play with 5 different people and we all do this strategy.

In 3v3 I plays as Arbiter my team, two Cutters. Basic Fort Deen play through. Quick notes: Switch up bases! I don't see why people don't do this they take the bases right next to them. why not switch up with your teammates and take the base across the map? Cutter #1 builds a barracks makes 4 marines to go to walls right off the bat! goes for ODST first to keep up the walls (the walls can kill anything as long as you trap the target in the wall) Cutter #2 makes supply pads and one reactor then builds a barracks last on his base then pumps out spartans (no need to upgrade right away) Arbiter makes warehouses and one shield gen to save for a scarab and goes to take Cutter #2's base quick time! Cutter #2 is first to get a extra base by this time Cutter #2 has 3 spartans and goes to take Cutter #1's base Arbiter upgrades once and goes to take both front bases but doesn't buy them til scarab is purchased.(around 8:00) once scarab is paid for 1 - 2 shield gens are added to base#1 so atleast 2 shield gens on the main while the scarab is building. Cutter #2 should have built 2 factorys on base#2 and have 3 anti-vehicle with sparatans and set them down in the center after that Cutter #2 makes anti-air until 30/40 units Cutter #1 by atleast (10:00) should have ODST, 2 bases and is ready to keep the walls up at all costs. Cutter #1 makes anti-vehicle with spartans and sets with behind Cutter #2's Arbiter puts scarab in the middle by atleast (11:00) [scarabs builds in 2 minutes] Arbiter takes both front bases. If enemy makes air then Arbiter goes for healers if not second scarab Cutter #1 makes 4 anti-vehicle putting 2 on either sides placing them behind the wall far enough so that only the very front enemy units at the wall can hit them or not at all then 6 anti-air Arbiter after he has two scarabs build healers and upgrade Arbiter (should have enough money from 3 bases to upgrade fast) once invis, Arbiter goes on enemy's side to scout Cutter #1 and Cutter #2 should not go over 30/40 units so that they can drop ODST at any time to stop or trap the enemy by making lines or circles good teamwork is required! After that upgrades upgrades and upgrades. Macs should be upgraded before turrets Arbiter should put off upgrading until he has scarabs (Arbiter dies thats what hes for) Re-cap of units: Arbiter 2 scarabs and 10 healers Cutter #1 7 anti-vehicle with spartans and 6 anti-air Cutter #2 3 anti-vehicle with spartans and 12 anti-air and 20 ODST ready to go at anytime! Placement for Fort Deen: 6 spartan Cobras in the middle of the map behind the double wall placed together with 10 healers over them at all times (to make sure they can't kill it by mac or carpetbomb) 2 scarabs next to the Cobras (unless playing against professor Anders then spread them so they can only freeze one scarab or the cobras) keep scarabs very close to wall so they hit scarabs first 18 anti-air 12 in the middle and 3 (or 5) on either side to join the 4 Cobras on the sides (2 on each side) Tips: If the enemy rushes double macs take out any leader you just need timing and teamwork. and Cutter #1 has a barracks built to pump out anti-infantry. stay in control of the walls. USE YOUR MACS! and OSDT do not let ODST sit on the ground send them into die if idling. you need 10 free units to drop at anytime (both Cutters should follow this rule) It takes 1600$ to mac and drop 10 ODST.. keep that in mind in the beginning of the match. if the enemy does a big air attack to the back bases move healers first and foremost! Keep that damn Arbiter scouting and on the enemy's side (do not let him attack place him where there is no one around if your attention is else where) and use rage when close to your team (rage gives your teammates 10% extra damage!) Arbiter's front bases should have atleast 3 shield gens. build one shield on the front bases first then two last by the time the arbiter has full units he should upgrade to 5 shields on both front and 4 on main leaving him with with 4-5 warehouses (which should be fine if the enemy isn't too aggressive) Well those are our secrets. we've been doing this for years now. Though we do have this little thing we do to take out a base in 5 seconds but I'll let you figure that one out
