- Always the same maps over and over again ( exile or ragnarok )

- alot of FPS drops , some parts are unplayable

- Searching for other people online system sucks.... result ; very long waiting time between match

- some sides are unbalanced vs others. blue team spawn closer to tank and blah blah

- This does get annoying, but it is really only bad in Big Team, where it is always Ragnarok or Exile. Map selection isn't nearly as bad in other game modes.

- I don't really have this problem, only when I get into a match with a laggy host.

- I can find a match in seconds, it doesn't take long at all for me. Maybe try searching at a different time.

- The only map I can think of where sides are unbalanced is Exile, where one team spawns right next to the Guass hog.

That being said, these don't make the multiplayer bad. It is still great, just because it isn't perfect doesn't mean that it is awful.

According to the Halo Bulletin, SWAT will be added this coming week. As for Extraction, I would imagine that it will be added sooner rather than later.

Because who gives a flying ****

LOL Call of Duty is like FPS for Dummies. Does Halo take a lot of skill? No, but it sure takes a lot more than Call of Duty.

A clan could be a group of friends that have the same clan tag and just play together, or perhaps have created an actual clan and play against other clans in matches. A website that allows you to make an actual clan is http://gamebattles.com/

Usually, I'll play through a game more than once. The first time to just beat it and enjoy the story. Second time to get achievements I missed and what not.

I'm considering getting Crysis 2 as well. Apparently I was too late for the MP demo because when I went to go start a match yesterday, it said the MP demo ended :(

Just my luck

Agreed, most of my friends don't go on anymore. And, since you were playing Gears 1, which came out quite a few years ago, you can't expect many people to be playing it. I'd say the majority of gamers today are on Halo Reach or CoD Black Ops. Playing games like Gears 1 and CoD 4 will be pretty quiet since not many people play them online anymore. The party system does also ruin it since most people that are playing are in a party.

Yeah, both are shooters and take place during the same time periods (both WWII and Modern). They are both, to an extent, more realistic than other popular shooters like Halo and Gears of War. But, I agree, Battlefield is much more team-based than CoD.

Without a doubt the best basketball game I've ever played, maybe even the best sports game I've ever played. EA's got nothing on 2K.
