Alrighty, now that I've played with you guys for a week, I've got to know a few things. I bitched about them briefly last night (man I was frustrated. You guys are usually out of my league and that leads to
WILTRON's frustrated silence (pat pending)). That's beside the point though:
1. Why do we play on the same 5 maps all night? Granted, some are better than others, but it doesn't hurt to mix it up now and then.
2. Why do we give host to the best players in the lobby (*looks at Prophetone*)? It doesn't take a FIOS connection to host a gears match.
Everyone knows host advantage is a problem. The best way the make it a non-issue is to give it to the worst guy in the room. That way, the good players still kick ass and the host gets a couple of extra kills without it being too lopsided. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to get host every time we play, it just makes sense to give it to a guy who is less likely to be able to use it to his advantage.
3. Would you guys be willing to give Annex another shot? I didn't like it at first either, but it's another way to mix it up and keep everyone involved (respawns) rather than watching from the afterlife 50% of the time.
At this point, you're probably ready to do this to me:
... but finally, let me say that I'm glad I hooked up with you guys. You're fun to be around, don't take the game too seriously and can take a joke without being a tool. You don't find that very often in the gears playlists. Thanks for having me.
