I have all of the games and played online at their site as well.

Welcome to the forum Marc. You will find many other big Halo fans here patiently, and not so patiently, awaiting Halo 4.

Sorry to hear this Azaxx. Look forward towards your return. How do they monitor your internet usage anyways?

He is at the local Pizza Hut, I am filling in. Choot 'em

Most who commented negatively to the removal of jet pack or to stop playing here have no Arena play on their accounts, the other two have 4 and 11 games respectively played over eight months ago. That should tell you something.

Your gamer tag is a negative on the search.

It really depends on what I am playing, I guess. Team slayer, I like the "Pit". Ranked Doubles, I like "Citadel". Playing objective I like "Valhalla". If I had to choose one for all game types it would have to be the "Pit".

Welcome to the forum! You have joined on our Birthday, so make sure you get a slice of cake before it is all gone.

Happy Birthday to this site. I have seen so many great members and threads on this site. We have shared our love for a game that has brought us all together, but much more has been shared in the process. There has been so many fun moments shared with members. The late talks in the shout box with members like VitaminPWM, One and DocSpartan. The endless laughs had with members during play dates or our smalls groups in Halo 3. The hilarity that ensued when the name changing in the shout box began. The out right,belly shaking laughs had with Jester via the PM's. The list goes on and on. I love this place! I hope you all can see and feel how much I enjoy being here with you all and work to keep that original spirit alive. It is the members that keep me here. You are the glue that binds the pages of this forum together. Thanks to Twam for creating a site that has brought me so my pleasure to be part of. Thanks to Jester for singling me out of the crowd and being such a good friend and example to live up to. Thanks to all of you for making it site unique, fun and interesting.

Valetine F we have known each other for a long time. First I will humor an old friend....you posted a "...lets not talk about Reach in the Halo 4 forum...." in th Halo 4 forum. I am sure you remember my humor. The debates were different in this forum in the past. I can easily link a few old threads about compromising posts keeping threads alive not the proverbial group "A" versus group "B". Matter of fact, this is one of them here. The issue of Reach comes up because members use one the games as a back drop or a direct reflection of the style of game play they expect to see in Halo 4. It seems if you mention a serious fondness for the play of H2 or H3, some members mistakenly state you are stuck in the past and can not adapt etc., etc. I would hope to see the "pure" Halo 4 thread, but there are too many who are willing to reference the game play style they want Halo 4 patterned after and the "A" versus "B" posts begin. Maybe you could begin the "Pure Halo 4 Discussion" thread and get us going.

I am going to move this to the GD for you. It will get more looks there and better feedback from the members.

Most likely they came in here and acted a fool and Jester or I got a hold of them and sent them back where they felt........more comfortable!

Thanks for the input Red! I will check the kill zones out. I have a few versions of the map and that link may be before a mild upgrade to the zones. I will just adjust the zones on the current link when time permits. The sniper spawns have gotten some complaints. I have considered placing one near each base in the open near the beach or possibly one on the middle of the bridge. ZB, when you play the map, try it with speed flag settings. It really gets the game moving since you can use the cannons and go on foot across the top.

I am moving this to the Game Help since you have an answer and it will help others.

Welcome to the forum! I am moving this to the "Intro's" forum for you. There is a pinned OP at the top of the forum to assist you getting around the site and has helpful information for new members.

Unless someone links a quote from the 343 team, I would expect not to see them. I personally think the Flood would make a great player model for Infection games though.

Derp? Is that what you think of me? lol One.

Axtec, I have never tried to upload one via the phone. I do know it is relatively easy from your computer. Message me if you have any issues.

Send me a Private message. Don't create a thread in announcements!

The ranking system in Reach means nothing, I completely agree. It only represents how long you have played the game. It let down so many fans of the game down. The AA's introduced a component to the game so significantly altered play along with slower player movement, lessened jump height, notably increased bloom, completely different primary rifle and overall weapon mechanics on both it and the sniper were significantly changed. The lack of a complete ranked play list was not reflective of Halo. What it had in its place, Arena, was so despised by players, no change would ever work to correct it. The game was so far removed from the it's successful predecessors, many fans felt it was not Halo, called it a stand alone game. The games success in sales most likely fell on pre sales and and the success of the previous titles with the fans. Not long after it's release the numbers dropped to almost what thy hover at today. This is the true sign of what Reach meant to the Halo fan base. No argument about other games, adapting or living in the past can really explain why so many left the game.

This may fit better in Halo Universe for feedback. I will move it there for you.
