I don't have anything against you, but you really gotta stop making all these threads about it.

Wat.  That's like 1/3 of my total posts.

My work here is done.

Try sticking your brother in her pooper.

Nah, tonight's more of a black tar heroin kind of night.

Campaign was pretty decent, but not fantastic, and I don't value the Halo games by their 3-4 hour linear campaigns.  I personally don't think that justifies the $60 purchase.

A good multiplayer can keep me invested for hundreds to thousands of hours, and that was not Halo 4.  I thought practically every aspect of Halo 4's multiplayer was a downgrade.  Reach had a shitty competitive multiplayer, full of randomness, and hand-holding, but I still got my money out of it, because its Forge and custom games were phenomenal (albeit, pretty gray). 

Halo 4 had incredibly limited options for custom games (no such thing as asymmetrical gametypes, most basic traits and features like alpha zombies had to be modded in, etc...).  Plus (and Reach suffered from this too), the custom games community was practically dead, because the matchmaking community suffered such huge hits.  The competitive multiplayer took 2 steps back for every mistake they fixed from Reach and previous titles, and brought hand-holding to a whole new level for the series.

343 has been shit at damage control, in the past, as well.  I'm not directly talking about the times they've dropped the ball over things like DLC fiascoes, either.  They thought appealing to the competitive community, when they were handling Reach and H4's playlists, meant making the 1 stigmatic "you're gonna get raped by tryhards" playlist, and calling it a day, even though they played nothing like the other 95% of the game, and basically told the average player to avoid it like the plague.  I wonder if the playlist manager read the forums, made that one playlist, and thought "now they'll have nothing to bitch about."

Are you saying you wouldn't?

I'd be down if you got a few people.

One spray towards the neck, and some people spray their wrists.  Don't spray too close.

I consider myself a nerd, but not a loser.

Not at all.  I've been around for a long time, but comparatively, I'm a lurker.  Pretty sure most people here and on Bnet don't really notice me.

It's hard to get a feel for what's exactly wrong with your system, so start by doing this:

Do you use (a good) antivirus?  Try a sweep.
Is your C drive at capacity?  Try running Disk Cleanup, and getting rid of unneeded files.
Then try running Disk Defragmenter.

Then try the Check Disk command (open up the command prompt (press the start menu and look for "cmd.exe")):
Type the commands "chkdsk /f C:", which will look through your C drive (assuming you have Windows installed on the C drive) and find/repair any disk errors.  If you're using the disk at the time (which you should be, since your OS is on it), it should ask you if you'd like to have it checked when the system is restarted.

Try going into the task manager, with nothing else open, see how much CPU and RAM is being used.  See what processes are taking up your computer (if the problem is related to a virus/rootkit, this step probably won't matter, since they'll be hidden processes)

Pssssssh considered.

I think muting is completely unnecessary, especially on a site this small: deal with people.  If they go over the edge, get a mod to step in.  It's the equivalent of running away from your problems, and it makes it pretty weird for everyone else.

Forum ranks?  Who cares?  You should be more concerned with the people you meet and the conversations you have, because they're the only things to take away from the site.
