*picks up the Unnamed skull* alas, poor Keves - I knew him well... *proceeds to bash Sarge with the skull* ~ seriously, bashing sarge after getting the unnamed skull in Halo 2 is so much fun...

In halo one I went through whole series of rooms without ever being seen (play the Thief games, and you'll learn the joy of blackjacking someone ^_^)

HERE IS MY INSIGNIA

1. Desolation appears FAR too often in team slayer (of my first 10 games, like 6-8 were in desolation...)

2. Desolation's double dose of overshields (I can't think of any other map that does this... one should instead be a camoflauge) has created a new type of noob... the overshield noob from people who just spend the whole game collecting those overshields.

3. The spawning system for zanzibar is making blue and red spawn right next to eachother (on the beach) in the beginning, and if someone spawns in base after death, normally someone from the other team will die and spawn right behind you (I was assassinated via this method...)

4. On one flag CTF in Tombstone, the spawning system for the maps seems off again, because if one team gets the flag to the bottom of their base, and the opposite team has the blue base (the one you're scoring at) under complete seige (all 4 people are there and in different positions on the base) people will still spawn RIGHT IN THE BASE, RIGHT NEXT TO THE FLAG, and this leads to a game that normally only lasts 12-20 minutes, a HALF HOUR to play. Instead people should really not spawn when there are people from the other team right around them.

5. Melee's depraved now, it takes a few shots+2 melees to kill someone now... or 3 melees...if someone is sucky enough you can hit them 2 times, they really should die of embarassment at least, don't make me add injury to...er more injury by having to hit them again.

6. Apparently the SMG is unusually accurate on one of the new maps (I believe tombstone is what I was told, but note this is what I was TOLD, I don't know about this one)

7. The yellow spaces for other players can be full for like a minute sometimes and it won't start the match O.O that's annoyed me before but usually it was on BTB that this happened... it's been happening to me on things like hardcore :$

To most of you who thought this was probably going to be about ranking and stuff, I stick out my tongue :P, I may HATE the fact that BTB is both changed into MTB (medium team battle, not big anymore) due to the fact that only 6 max can play instead of 8 (I know more isn't always better, but in this case, it is...) and the fact that it isn't ranked... ok, screw not ranting about this, I can't help myself.... what sucks about it not being ranked is not JUST the fact that fewer people will play it... but that people are more likely to quit now... I mean, before you didn't quit if you didn't like a certain game because you didn't want to lose your rank... but NOW you see things like "aww crap, it's freakin territories on relic? I'm so outta here..." and the people just quit, leaving the poor teammates who actually enjoy a game with lots of people to suffer defeat because as soon as that one person quits, people will follow now. At least the ranking was a little insentive to stay and play with your fellow spartans (or elites, I'm not racist I swear!)

Sorry about the rant, really... I just really enjoyed BTB, and saw real potential for tombstone to be a part of that... assault on tombstone would be freakin CRAZY in my oppinion

Alright, but I can't just be a negative person, I'll list some good points...

1. The new maps are now playable in matchmaking (although desolation seems to be being shoved down my throat... I really am almost sick of it)

2. There is a map where the sentinel beam is used (desolation... 2 people shooting sentinel at one person, and a br to finish him off.... beautiful, althought a SLIGHTLY more powerful sentinel would be nice...)

3. The bugs in the maps were fixed (I didn't bother testing it but I trust bungie)

4. All games are a challenge now that everyone is trying to rank back up again :D

5. Ummm.... Idk I just wanted a 5th one XD
