I've had my fair share of accidently hitting B and then killing myself.. I've also had my fair share of deaths in the campaign. But overall, this game is freakin' awesome. I just wanna keep playing it. I've really only focused on one map in terrorist hunt so far, played a bit of campaign, and maybe 3 online matches. I love everything about this game, except for the freezing, frame rate drops, and crappy online menu.

I love the cooperative terrorist hunts but the online versus has been annoying me. I guess I just suck and need more practice but I've been getting rocked almost every game.

Bbbbblaaaaaahhhhaaa!
I hate this xp reduction thing for quitting online games in progress that Halo 3 started. I joined a Deathmatch and it started between the time I saw the game in the list and the time I joined the game. Apparently you can't join the game when it's in progress. I tried to quit because I didn't want to sit around for an 8 minute long game but I got a warning telling me I'd lost XP. Why the hell would it matter if I'm not even playing?

as much as i love this game, why is ranked so gay, with limited respawns. and getting booted after every match because "you cant play multiple rounds in a ranked lobby", its annoying im just gunna try to get my three straight wins and then do player matches for all the other achievements...short quick bursts here i come!!

The ranked match are in some ways "gay", but the features also make it more competitive. The limited respawns definitly make the game more tacticle which is what the RBS series was originally like. No longer are people constinantly throwing frags and running around like a chicken with its head cut off. I do wish they would have made it so you could play multiple rounds in the same lobby. I've only been playing "player matches". One thing that I think is awesome is being able to play the story mode with a buddy. One of my buddies who lives two states away has been working on the story mode on realistic with me and we are both able to get the achievements. I <3 this game too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha yeah, that happened a few times, especially in the worst spots possible. "Oh yeah about to beat my first terrorist hunt on realistic" *Throws a grenade* Woo for killing myself multiple times.

While the ranked matches are great.. player matches are better for leveling up and learning the levels. It's also nice not to have to rejoin a game every 5 minutes. It's pretty awesome that you can rank up / earn exp for your character no matter what game mode/setting you are in.

Stop quitting matches early Pasta! -rep for you.
I was very pleasantly surprised with Halo 3 and then later Call of Duty 4's xp/ranking system, the aspect of R6V2's working both on AND offline is very, very cool. Hopefully I can grab this today!
I really like trying to discipline myself to actually snake a door, paint some targets, smoke in with thermal and fire in small bursts, as oppososed to running through an open doorway, launching a frag and then holding down RT until it gets quiet or the screen turns red and I have to reload ha

One of the only things I hate about the online multiplayer is there is no party system... WHY UBISOFT? WHY?

Ok, I'm officially addicted to player matches on Xbox Live. I hosted a game for 4+ hours last night, and it was in a word, AWESOME. Why can't more games be as fun as this?? If anyone wants to play with me hit me up with a friend request.
