wow u ninjas really know how to explain things n use ur words properly. i wish i was a ninja...

maybe if i was a ninja(TokenBlackNinja4U) i too could get better at how i explain thing n use my words...

maybe if a ninja reads this they may help me become a ninja, but prehaps thats just wishful thinkin...

anywho, i'm off to go play xbl n go drive my warthog around n around n around. maybe pick up a stray hitch hiker or2 along the way, who knows?

i wont, i promise....

i still cant believe you's unlocked it for me(i feel special, n i didnt even have to get down on my knees)...

anywho's....

i just played a funny game of team training with a few buddies(there were 4 of us). but i got put in the other team:(
it was CTF on elegation(or however its spelt, you's no the 1) so i decided to have some fun. seeing as thats all i play for. so everytime my team(the team i wasn't meant to be in) got the flag. i'd help them get it all the way back to our base, then i'd kill him, pick up the flag and run it all the way back to where it came from... while i was doing this i had the button pushed in 4team chat and i was spottin out all my team for my buddies....

it was so much fun, my team wasnt happy with me though. and the wierd thing was the betraying boot button never came up(i know cause my team was complainin that it didn't)so xbl must of liked watching me have fun and let me continue doing it while it had a laugh at my teams expense...

i thiught it was hillarious and so did my buddie, so i thought i'd jump on and tell yous all about it...

now i'm going back on xbl to continue my all nighter(it 4.45 am just so you's no) = )

After all of the numerous games of wins and loses, combacks and all the times that I have "couged it." I still find it very important to keep the game fun. It can be hard to stay positive when losing a game, but it sure is worth sticking it out if you can comeback. Lately I have been trying new things to keep the game fresh. This game is still fun to me, I try my best to keep it fun for others.

ok you got me there you got me there you smart bugger. maybe not every1 so serious when they play as you pointed out(but how do we know there not yellin at there screen?)...

all i'm sayin and the reason for starting this topic is, does anyone still play for fun?
obviously i for 1 do and the ppl majority of the ppl that have posted here do, but i'm tryin to find everyone that still plays it for fun....

basically this topic is here for ppl that play for fun that can meet other ppl that play for fun n they can share there loves/hates of the game and stories or whatever they want. aslong as its based on us havin fun in the game...

And no bumping or it will get locked again.
i've learnt my lesson so i hope no1 else buggers it up for me = )

I used to play all hardcore, I never played curtom games unless we did something like MLG, Team Slayer, Snipes, or whatever, I played MM a TON, etc. After a while a slowly stopped playing XBL period. After a few weeks not playing at all, I realized why I wasn't. I wasn't HAVING fun. It was boring always playing straight slayer. So I got back into it, but now a play mostly custom games, rarely MM, and when I first got back, I had friends teach me superbounces, which I thought were fun. So now, I'm having a lot more fun than I used to. :D

It is for the fun, but when you start doing goofy crap like betraying, You rob the folks trying to have some fun competition of their fun. If you want to goof off(We all do ), Just create a private game. It is fun to shoot your friends and superjump! Just allow the other gamers to enjoy the gametypes without the goofs!

Join Men of War.

I do all the time the only time i play serius (spelling) on ranked.

I agree. Playing Halo (or any game) should include respecting the game, your teammates, and your opponents. Betraying your opponents and suiciding are, more than likely, only going to upset your teammates, and are in my opinion not much better than the trash-talking that the majority of posters on this thread attribute to people that "don't play for fun." i.e. they are disrespectful and aimed at goading someone. Winning or losing is important, but playing well and respectfully are more important.

Depends. I quit if it's Flag Wars. That game is boring. I even quit if there is 2 people vs 8, boring, the team with 8 wins. I play for fun. I'm only level 8, and I have no goal of getting my levels back to 28, I like BTB now. Halo PC had that fun action of CTF, and I don't care about ranks. Though, if you're 50, I'm going to assume you're a cheater.
A lot of people treat games as life, look at the RuneScape forum, people cry about losing or whatever, some do it in Halo 2. See that guy who is level 35 and plays almost everyday? Is it just me, or has he been in Team Slayer for an hour?

Alot of you -blam!- and moan that people dont play for the fun of it anymore, but its not FUN when you go into a game to play halo and your team betrays you, or the other team is standbying you are right I play for fun so dont ruin the majority of players fun so the minority can have fun.

yes it was locked....
that is true, but i asked nicely n agreed to stop bumping so they gave me n my topic another chance coz they liked my topic n what i'm tryin to achieve out of it...

more ppl need to play the game as a game, a form of entertainment and relaxation...
it aint either of them when u have someone nearly swollowing there mic while there yelling all sorts of obsinities at u coz u lost the game for them(i'm talking about unranked, ranked dont need it either) or some1 telling u they just r@ped u when ur on the other side of the world....

no1 know each other on xbl(well not everyone) we are all humans. every person u play against on xbl is human so treat them with respect. they may of had 1 bad game n that may of been the game u were playing against them but it doesnt give u the right to shoot ur mouth of at them...

it would make more sense to give them some tips or help some1 out if u see them struggling with the game. after all its gonna b more compitition for u in the long run....
and if u have nufin good to say turn ur mic off. turn it back on at the end, say good game(weather u won or lost) then leave....

U wouldn't start yellin obsinities at a person u didnt know in the street would u? so why do it on xbox live, or here even...


BTW jesus, cheers for putting up with me everytime we play. i know u'd have much beter ppl on ur list that u could play with when ur on. but i thank you for puttin up with me n helpin me out. more ppl need to b like this guy = )

Can you even speak english? Fool, you are causing the hype. ridicule who you must, but understand that most of us play within the rules.I love to play a clean game. I'm not trying to slight you, as a matter of fact, email me if you wish. I'd actually like to skirmish with you if you would like. Lets play!!!!

see yet another judgement when somebody doesnt even know who there talkin too. yes i do speak english, BUT i am not an american so i do not speak ur language. where i come from(australia) so maybe we speak a lil differently? if ur talking about my spellin, i'm sorry but im not the best typer so my words come out wierd sometimes when i try to rush....

As for ur game request, i'd rather not unless i really have too. i've read all ur post from today and theres not one that doens't has some from of a put down towards somebody in them. i'm not tryin to b rude but if thats how ur type in here i'd hate to hear the language u use in the game...

BTW why are u in here when u obviously dont like me for some reason or u dont like the fact that i'm tryin to clean up the game so every1 can enjoy it?
there are ppl that dont take it all seriously n dont have to win every game, n there the ppl i'm tryin to reach out to...

plus i'm a busy person thats from the future(we're 14 hours ahead of you's) so when ur tucked up in bed i'm at work or spending time with my lil girl n when ur up n on xbl i'm proberly still at work or spendin time with my lil girl... i'm a busy person that only plays with a select few n i'm sorry but for some reson(again refering to ur previous post on here n on ur topic u started)u dont seem like you'd fit into that select few that i play with.... sorry if u take any offence to all this, but hey i'm only one halo player tryin to make a difference n trying to clean up the game...
