One weird trick that MMC matchmaking hates! A confirmation bias.

Blow in the cd tray also worked for me and my friends, also try hard resetting your console, maybe uninstalling and reinstalling, can you flash your bios? Try that. Update your modem firmware and maybe call your ISP. All these work flawlessly.

Man, the 3rd Xbox the Xbox 1th fuels your imagination.

Confusing Jeff's natural state as a fat lazy poo poo with being a champion of ethical games journalism is always hilarious. He didnt change the review score because it would have got in the way of his 3 hour lunch of familiar chain restaurant food, not for any reasons of having moral center.

Just watch Jeff swallow his own testicles to avoid having a single critical noise escape his body during a QuickLook EX, you know, one of those shows where the game developers that made up 60% of the guest list of his best friends wedding come by and show off their lovely games to Jeff's unquestioning delight.

A shadow puppet of a has a laser focused criticism of Microsoft, if he deviates from Microsoft it becomes scatter shot and ramshackle.

I mean Bungie basically finished the "original story" what else do they do? Make a new IP (yeah right) or make a new story. They chose the latter.

Gendered insults aside, I played Halo 1 and 2, never played three, Reach, or ODST, bought Halo 4 and after some big laser bridge level I quit. I got no reverance for the story of any of the games because they are video games and video games have awful poo poo stories.

Best Halo Gametype/Map is Halo 1 Blood Gulch CTF 4 on 4. None of my friends were great at the game so it was a lot of Warthog bombing runs and it was always great because no one ever locked down the perfect routes so it was always great back and forth action.

They missed a prime opportunity to double dip by killing LAN. The thing is already useless without live so that's a near guaranteed $60 annual fee already, add that to someone buying 3 Bonetrollers and the quarterly cost of replacement and they could make the division profitable. There might even be someone out there mad with syphilis willing to buy 3 Elite Controllers.

They did kill LAN, they are double dipping.

Well, that's a tall order to be sure. First the Xbox Live has to be up, then the Halo matchmaking servers have to be working correctly, then you have to hit that shot and hope that player is a pro, and thats hardest part of all because the pros aren't playing this busted rear end heap.

So this be the only time a pro gets shot like this.
