1) well I envy you, in Reach I was always losing team mates, and lost because of them. Not matter if I get 20-30 kills. I couldn't live up to the oppositions mass. This reintroduction of allowing people to help me is so damn welcomed by me.
6) no wrong, Halo CE set it up. And Team Player in your mind is that, not for everyone else, people have their own ways of playing and thinking how it should work. As for me, I lone wolf, that be in BTB, normal Slayer or CTF. (Excluding FFA here) and I kill efficiently. I get some of the highest, if not the highest kill score/ point score on my team and/or the match. So team play can change, depends on the people.
