    I wish Valhalla was included in the team snipers playlist and not just BTB.


    Is it not? Have definitely played a few team sniper matches on it, unless it was removed recently it's there.

    Am playing through Halo 3 again at the moment. It's just better, although I keep trying to sprint...

    I don't think halo maps ever got any better than H3.

    Yep almost every map was great and several were classics like The pit and Guardian.

    Have many been playing it since the free download? Have gone back to playing Reach myself...H4 between the COD influences and not very good maps wasn't fun to play.

    It's not free for another couple of weeks yet.

    H4 has improved a lot since christmas, a lot of the issues that were there have been fixed. Much better game now than it was on release.

    Halo 3 is free from the 16th for 2 weeks. There's been 2 free games a month since E3.

    Excellent. Might be time to get a bigger HDD then. Not really interested in downloading H3, I already have it on its own disc and on the ODST bonus disc with all the maps, but free games is good.

    I'm still struggling along on a 1st generation Xbox with a 20gb drive. It's been through about 3 RROD repairs and makes as much noise as a harrier jump jet taking off, but it just won't die so I can replace it.

    I've the 60GB one and it shows no sign of giving up the ghost yet either. Get a 32GB usb stick and you can install games onto it, very handy.

    Halo 4 is 1 year old today.

    The fiesta slayer mode they've introduced to celebrate its birthday is fun for about 5 minutes until everyones just randomly running around with rocket launchers. One shot dead, etc..

    But i have to say a year on Halo 4 has kept my interest a lot longer than i thought it would. I love the Halo franchise in general in particular Halo 3 and although the 4th installment has cod tendencies, i dont think it took away from the overall Halo feel.

    Loved the regicide mode when it was on the playlist, unfortunately gone now.

    Why are there no more free for all playlists .... are they uncool or what :mad:

    IMO theres too many team games. It would be different if people actually played as a team but most people dont even have mics and run around aimlessly into the opposition which is just head melting.

    Loved HALO 4, probably not as good as 3 but a lot better than reach imo, still find it hard to get time to play it though and the matchmaking is slow and a bit broken.

    A quick year...I can remember picking it up on the way into college and not being able to wait to get home and play it.....that didn't last long. It's not a proper halo game for me, too many things taken from COD, and getting dropped into a game which is almost finished after waiting ages to find a game is very annoying.

    I have gone back to playing reach instead. I know it gets a lot of sh*t but I don't see the big problem with it...and it's much closer to Halo than 4 is. I have said it before but my biggest criticism (aside from ppl who constantly pick armour lock and do the armour lock smack combo) is the constant choosing of the same levels (uncaged, countdown, swordbase) but 4 had the same issue any time I played teams and got stuck playing the grassy level where everyone just runs for the tank and the snow level repeatedly.

    A lot of Reach maps can look samey as well as I think they are made in game but if you get beyond that there are some really enjoyable ones.
