I've got a few friends that way, but to be honest, the better players just dismiss me as a noob! Which I kind of am, but I have potential! For example I recently had a team game with randoms, I had 16 kills and 4 deaths, but we got slaughtered 50-24. That is frustrating.... I'm thinking if I was with people who weren't just running off and getting killed, rather than sticking together and covering all exits we could have owned big style. There are many out there that are far better than me, but over time my map knowledge and tactics will improve.
I just want as many Halo friends as possible, so that whenever I play it, there is someone to play with! Like I say I've only had Xbox live a few months, and I've only been playing Reach for about a week, and for that time period I think I'm doing ok. I'm expecting to play this game for a loooong time as it is amazing and now I've had a good session I'm thoroughly addicted.
Thanks to all of you for replying, where relevant I have requested you on live, and the dude from myfaction.com, I will have a look at the site and sign up.
I'm playing the numbers game, the more friends I have the higher the chance there will be someone online when I get the chance to go on, as I have a family, my game time is limited and I could be on at anytime or sometimes not for days. If I could though, I'd put in 8 or more hours a day!
