Oh you are missing loads.
Great games tonight
Once you get 8 people it becomes much more fun.
I am convinced you have a radar just on where i am.
but all in all great games, lots of fun and banter
Not a big fan of Halo so I doubt it.
I've slept on it, I don't hate you really.
I am and you aren't missing anything tbh, some things they have improved and other things I really don't like what they have done and they will not change them before launch so I can't see myself playing it that much.

I wasn't just talking about halo, Starcraft 2 too.
Ignore him, on one breath he is shouting about how much he hates the game and then in another about how much he loves it.
And we have worked out the Alrik Exaggeration factor, Any negative numerically based comment made by alrik can be divided by 3 and rounded down to determine the truth
"They are all shooting at me" 4/3 = 1.3 (rounded down to 1)
"I Died at least 6 times in that game" 6/3 = 2

played some more last night - its starting to grate all ready to be honest, i initally liked it and had some interesting twists but its becoming more apparent that the abilities actaully do very little in the RW gaming environment.
the weapons also feel a little short of what they should be....so iv submitted my review to bungie and were see if they change anything - pretty much stopped playing the beta now.. as for on release? dunno if il pick it up.

I actually really like the Armour Abilities and think they can be used quite well...
For instance in a Team Slayer game I played with some pals - one of us was getting smashed by 2 opponents so use the armour abilities, as they casually stood there ready to pin with nades/shots when the abilities ended I using my Stalker ability crept up behind them to whack them with the Grav Hammer... was really good.
I tend not to use the JetPack/Scout - but another example is a Team Based Game where the JP can get up high to cover/snip - while the Scouts can sprint to good weapons/vehichles - with a Stalker sneaking into an opponents base!
I do think the Assualt Rifle needs tweaking and the Battle Rifle - otherwise I am getting on quite well with the weapons - I am average at best but seem to do "ok"
Oh... I can't get to grips with the sticky grenades though - somethign doesnt feel quite right with the mechanics of the throw - but I will work on that!

That was the first thing I noticed also. It seems abit 'off' I just can't put my finger on why.....

The only thing I said I liked was playing as an Elite, the rest of the game sucks balls tbh taking into consideration this is meant to be the best Halo they can possibly make. If Invasion sucks I won't even bother playing the rest of the Beta, since that is the only mode I would consider playing when the full game is released.

+1
Got some more games in last night. Team SWAT and Slayer Pro are where its at, wish there was a playlist with just this.
Frag grenades feel over powered now, or is it just me? Its changed from "Unload AR, Melee", to "Unload AR, Throw grenades first".

It seemed like as soon as you spoke I then saw you
I think it was just bad luck really, I did feel a little bit bad 
Definitely the main thing that needs changing for me, the blast radius is too big.

It's a great game, if it's not your taste then that's your thing but it's hardly a bad game or I wouldn't see so many people praising, saying it's fun and polished online.
Like they said you do seem to be exagarrating.
Anyway seems like the game has been doing great so far.
Exaggerating what exactly? I was telling a friend that Bungie have not suddenly made Halo any better so that he would suddenly start to like the game, which is true. I never said it was a bad game I said I don't like it and it was again aimed at a friend, which is why I quoted him.

lol Dont worry i found it purely entertaining.
Though maybe the key is that i should talk less and concentrate and i might be able to kill you
well i did only say maybe

and poo
its not bad, if the elites dont take the first base its game over, what they need to do is to change roles after the game ends, invasion slayer is very very smart and is a lot of fun.
noticed the DMR is overpowered on the first part of the map for spartans, and the elites need a sniper to make it more fair
Exactly! I enjoy playing as spartan but hate it as elite, both spartan weapons and height advantage make it very one sided, havent won a single round as elite or lost a single round as spartan.. needs balancing
I didnt quite get the slayer- the hill which spawns and you have to take control of- is that for extra weapons/ spawns? Dont quite understand it?
