Guys,
Just a thought. Can we please explain game types to all Halo newcomers. I was playing the MAW server on Monday night, about 23:00 to 01:30 GMT, and was suprised how many players don't seem to understand any game type except CTF. :-)
For example, "Oddball" was played by the majority as "Slayer", so is was an easy game for me. Just find a quiet corner and stay there with the skull !! "King of the Hill", again, was played as "Slayer" !!
I think a bit of education for some would not go amiss.

Remember "the needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few ......"

Oooh, I'm good at describing things to newbies!
Slayer: Shoot anything that isn't you or a team mate or an inanimate object. Unless someone is hiding in/behind said inanimate object (or team mate).
Race: Run/drive/fly to the waypoints, get them all to get a lap. Laps = good.
CTF: Well, umm, capture the flag. Not hard, really.
Oddball: Get the ball. Keep the ball. While you have the ball, you cannot shoot.
King of The Hill: Get to the hill. Stay on the hill. While on the hill, you can shoot.

I am unfamiliar with Halo 2 gametypes, so someone else continue.

Juggernaut: If you're the juggernaut, kill everything that moves. If you aren't the juggernaut, kill him. You become the juggernaut when you kill him. Only the juggernaut can score.

Assault: Put the bomb in the enemy base, then arm it to make it go boom and win.

the following isn't a classic gametype, but everyone does it on Xbox Live anyway.

S.W.A.T: Slayer, Battle Rifle and Shotgun, no shields, kill all. Team Swat rules too.

I've never played territories so I'm not sure how that works, I assume it's a sort of multi hill KoTH
