Yeah Nomi clued me in as to what SWAT is, that sounds horrible.

[Cowdisease]

I'm also open to MLG and Team Slayer/Objective.

[Nomi]

manner we need to find a good third and get my 45

[mannerbot]

Sorry Cow, I'm not trying to be an arrogant prick or anything but I have a 48 in TS now, and it's going to be really hard trying to get to 50. I'd be down for other playlists though; I could help you guys level up in team objective if you want since apparently my friend jvantai and I were the only ones to ever play that list.

Also Nomes, if we can't get a third let's just play team doubles. That'll go quick too I promise. But we should start having map-dependent strategies; that Guardian Team BRs game really aggravated me and I haven't even watched the replay yet.

[mannerbot]

OK Nomi, I watched the replay of that Guardian game. Basically, you should be a 44 right now. First off, it's my fault for not realizing that Eric didn't know how to play at trees; I should have gone there myself. Second, when we were up 3 with like a minute left he went to get the Hammer, got killed, and for whatever reason didn't make the simple callout. I don't know what happened with the radar to make you think you were being shot from elbow when the guy was top mid, but regardless I just can't explain why Eric didn't get out of the bubble and kill the guy you got one shot and instead got himself killed by the hammer guy at snipe 3. Bleh.

[Brand X]

I just want Team Snipers to be permanent. Is that too much to ask?

[mannerbot]

Yeah, I'd like to see it replace Team Objectives. But then it would probably split the "hardcore" demographic too much, having MLG, Team Swat, and Team Snipers all at the same time.

[Brand X]

It worked plenty fine in Halo 2 with Hardcore, SWAT, and Snipers, so I'm sure it would work great in 3 too. Especially considering there are more people playing on a daily basis.

[mannerbot]

Are there? I don't know, never paid attention to the list of players in each hopper in Halo 2. But I don't think I've ever seen over like 5k for MLG or Team SWAT.

[Brand X]

I can only assume. Considering there are far more XBL subscribers now than there were when Halo 2 was in it's prime. There were 657,000 Halo 3 players in the past 24 hours. I know Halo 2 had a huge population, but I don't think it was quite as large as that in its prime.

Maybe Master would be able to drop a knowledge bomb on us if he's allowed to share that type of info.
