I have fond memories of BigTeamBattle on Coagulation in Halo 2. Same goes for SWAT on that map, too.

Coagulation was great because it played well with Halo 2, and the basement they added to each base was also nice. But it just doesn't work with Reach. However Halo 2 is perfect in every way so any map could be considered amazing in that beauty of a game.

Boneyard was the best BTB map, ever. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't appreciate the beauty of The Commonwealth. Hell, even the map description from The Beta was simple but awesome.

Breakpoint and Spire were also good. Hemorrhage sucked though, it was just too plain and open.

Honestly I didn't like Spire too much I hated when everyone would just go to the top of the damn spire and stay there, and Boneyard was cool but it could be pretty awful in team snipers if you were placed on the red team due to the spawn trapping. I liked Hemorrhage although it was like the Valhalla of Reach and Breakpoint worked pretty well in Reach and is probably one of my favorite maps.

I played that new Star Trek game this week. I can't really recommend it unless you're a big fan. The controls are pretty broken and it's a stock, cookie-cutter plot. It's a Troi's mother episode, in other words.

Another error of judgment by 343. Did you know they removed all the DLC playlists from Reach right before Halo 4 came out? The only way to get Breakpoint now is through an Invasion, and even if everyone has the DLC for it, it will almost never show up cause they also added maps into the Invasion Playlist that don't belong, like Countdown and Boardwalk.

It's a movie based game so it's not surprising that it sucks.

Lol I just realized I never played Breakpoint I had it confused with Breakneck which came with the Halo:CE anniversary edition, unfortunately I never bought any DLC for Reach and the only new maps I actually did get were the anniversary ones because they came with CE remake.

Breakpoint was the only good map from the first map pack, but the second map pack was phenomenal. It had a circular asymmetrical space map, Highlands which was a forest BTB map, and a large Firefight map set in a refinery. But as stated earlier, they took DLC play lists and maps out of Reach matchmaking. So they kind of made you waste your money if you got them.

I started playing Blood Dragon today and it was so ridiculously cheesy that I couldn't have dreamed of it being better than it is. It's just like I'm participating in a terrible 80s toy cartoon or action movie. The plot is over-the-top absurd, and I like it.

Everything from the tutorial offering to play the game for you (for a fee, of course), fighting cybernetic t-rexes, and punching out a nuclear reactor is just so unabashedly fun that playing it leaves me with this big dopey grin on my face.

So far I love almost everything about this game. Definitely worth the $10.

Played some Gundam Extreme Versus this weekend.Even though i platinumed the game a long time ago i am still playing online matches.

Currently playing good old Fire Emblem.

Pulling of miracles to keep all my fragile soldiers alive, to give them happy ending. T^T

Yeah, so I decided to play a real game for a change of pace:

Oh god games can't get any more archaic and generic than RO2.
At least it's cute and isn't buggy

Thats not surprising at all, it is a Microsoft game after all.

It's surprising when you go into Halo 3 (which has a DEAD population), and Team Mythic is still up with around 20 people searching for a game.

That's going on the list with Box Hako for the sheer WTF factor.

True. The only active playlist with a decent population is Big Team Slayer which usually has was around 130 people, and the few squatters that remained absolutely destroyed me when I last played.

I dont know what Box Hako is but I'm gonna assume its a very naughty game correct?

That...that's an understatement. In a nutshell, it's a goldmine for microphilliacs.

Social Slayer still has a reasonable population, but it's infested with playlist generals who know the ins and outs of every map, where I came in after a year of not playing and I can't even remember that the laser spawned on the scaffolding in Last Resort. But Social Slayer sucks ass now since they all veto Team BR's for AR Starts. It pisses me off how I get Team BR's in The Pit which is a dream come true for me and everyone else vetos and I end up with Team Slayer on Valhalla.
