    When its just the two of us on usually tends to big big team, happy enough to mix it up too though. Were playing capture the flag a few nights ago with Bolshevik (not sure what his boardsie name is).

    I'm happy enough to play any game mode at all really, not a big fan of objective stuff if i'm playing on my own though.

    I love custom games. No online idiots, and usually much more teamwork and fun than matchmaking. I've got a few good remakes of the pit, lockout, zanzibar, ascension and the likes if anyone's interested in partying up.

    Theres' a good chance I'll be on tonight or tomorrow night, I'll keep a look out for all of you, and feel free to jump in or invite me if you see me. I've been playing BTB and SWAT a lot lately.

    I'd be on for this anyway, we'll surely get 8 people at least. Stick with base maps or will we try some forge remakes?

    Me too, if at all possible. Is it worth setting up a time? Anytime between 8-11 would work for me.

    yeah between 8 and 11 is good. well any maps at all would be good...if you have forge maps all the better to shake things up

    You shouldn't be, they released two more specialisations last Monday. Check the spartan hub. The others will be released the next couple of weeks too.

    haha, was playing spartan ops earlier with one of y'all and got a nice fail on ep3ch4 I think.

    The last covey somehow got stuck up on a hilltop that neither of us had line of sight on, the two dropships I shot the main gun off so we couldn't die to respawn with nades - and then somehow the covey managed to fall half way down inside the cliff face judging by the marker!

    hahaha. wasn't in the mood to replay it!

    Spartan Ops lags for me, also. Every button press isn't registered until a second later. Firefight in Reach was the same.

    Yeah Spartan Ops has been very laggy from day 1 for me, well when playing with others anyway - going solo is fine.

    Dont think I have touched ops since episode three.
    War games hardly lags for me at all and is just way more fun.

    Mastered the Bolthshot. My kills have gone up but my rep has gone down.
    It is unsporting to use it apparently haha.

    Its like my own personal shotgun. Got a bulltrue with it on Adrift two or more nights ago.
    That guy was very angry. :pac:
