That was a great update. I really like the new hardcore play list. I'm going to wait a week before I go back into it. I'm getting tired of playing all the level thirty to fourties everytime I log in, and getting modded, standbyed, and lagged out of competitiveness.

I think this will probably be my primary play list once it gets a little more broken in.

i like the pic where the 3 guys are all looking around and the one guy is staring out the window into space. Sorta reminds me of me, and why I havn't played in team hardcore yet.

HC is a blast, because all but like 4 or 5 games out of 50 have been really close. So many times I get the idea in my head that, "We have a good enough lead, I can let up a little" then BAM the other team is nipping at my heals again. So many epic games in so little a time probably because of the massive amounts of "pro" people excited about the playlist playing MM again and the fact that i've only been cheated (knock on wood) once or twice so far. Keep up the good work.

My only complaint is, "Do they REALLY need that much oddball, seriously?" Midship oddball is cool and elongation is alright, but I can't stand it on lockout because I still can't respect the fact that jumping off the edge is actually a good strategy. Commiting suicide should never be rewarded, ever, but in this game type the best thing to do in a pinch is jump off the edge and have a team mate there for the respawn. #(*$(@$! I'm sure I'll get over it and likely immitate it, but it's just so dang weird.

Other than that no complaints.

Although team hardcore is fun it really isnt all that hard but maybee the team my friends and i played were a bunch of noobs.

actually you're right, maybe it isn't the rocket spot in terminal. My gut reaction was that, but looking again it doesn't look the same size as the image in my mind. It has to be in multiplayer, because campain is only 1 or 2 player. It certainly looks like terminal though. I don't know.

I think that if you really want to make this a playlist for pro's, take out that gawd awful plasma pistol, i mean honestly, for anyone taken out by the #1 worst combo, it leaves a bad taste in your mouth, especially on a small map, where it happens over and over and over. So in my humble (yet wise) opinion, take out the plasma pistols, they are cheap, and cheaper.

If you are a plasma pistol "whore" then you were probably a pistol "whore" in Halo: CE. that is my take on this whole thing.

And if you have a problem with me, or my (kick-ass) opinion, then take up arms and meet me on XBL, if not, then help me get that stoopid gun out of that friggin sweet playlist.

thanks bungie, for a playlist that makes me want to not do any homework and spend all hours of the day on XBL.

That's a pretty good guide, although unreliable under the cirrumstance.

i disagree i played it the day they put it up and it was kinda corny exspecly capture the flag and all those objective games i think tht those need to stay on big team battle and Team skirmish and everything else be like slayer or team snipers or team shotguns so i mean it ant as bad or as cool as Frankie says it is

I love not having the motion detector and starting with a real gun, but why were bugar combos left in the game? There is no skill involved in Plasma/BR combos what-so-ever, yet they result in instant death. Bungie always claims that weapon balance is of the utmost importance, and this is why the pistol from Halo 1 was removed and dual magnums were tuned down. Yet they leave plasma pistols lying around on maps where everyone starts with a Battle Rifle. This is as well thought out as having the Banshee on one-on-one Ascension.

P.S. Motion detector needs to be removed in all game types!!!

I just have a simple question. When you mention putting headphones on to hear footsteps, do you mean on top of your headset? Thanks for any information! :)

The author of the 'How to Stay Alive...' story needs to take some seriously story writing classes. Wordy, wordy, wordy. The story would have been better being 90% shorter. Waaaayyyy too much dribble.

i put the voice output on tv only and stuff the mic through the top of my headphones. my head phones are plugged into my stereo and the only bad part of this is you cant hear people talking when youre driving some vehicles, other than that you can hear the shells hit the ground. i cant play without headphones.

He is talking about at MLG events. Some people show up with headphones so they can hear much better what is going on like footsteps.
