Many bulls encompass me; strong bulls of Bashan surround me;
they open wide their mouths at me, like a ravening and roaring lion.
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint;
my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast;
my strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to my jaws;
you lay me in the dust of death. -Psalm 22:12-15
I won't defend big team battle as fanatically as Jeff does, but I sympathize with his analysis of MLG. Halo has the potential for such diverse gameplay, why limit it? I laugh every time I kill someone in slayer with an assault rifle and they message me afterwards calling me an "AR -blam-". To me Halo's complexity of gameplay is what sets it apart from other games. I love grabbing a needler and picking off some unsuspecting people, throwing a bubble shield, or busting out dual SMG's. Nevertheless I wouldn't call other game types inferior, because someone else may honestly have more fun playing them.
