Halo 3 has recently gone under some revisions for its Matchmaking service, which used to be great, having little to no flaws.
However, (apparently) Bungie noticed that in Double EXP Weekend playlists, Sniper games were joined the most often. They decided to raise the ratio in which Sniper games were played compared to other games.
For backstory, I've never liked Sniper games. I'm terrible at them, I find them extremely boring, and they tend to take far too long to finish.
Now, with that said, this new addition is terrible to me. Before I get the expected "just suck it up and veto" response, you don't understand. I had to play five matches of Team Snipers or Shotty Snipers in a row.
Five.
Five matches. One, after another.
Then I finally get a Slayer game. What follows it?
Shotty Snipers.
Even my clan mates that love Sniper matches were getting sick of it (one can only take so much of camping on one side of the map picking off poor kids that run around).
Case in point, this addition to Halo 3's online play has really killed the game for me. I'm thinking on migrating to Call of Duty 4.

I would love to have either a next gen .hack game, or a .hack game for the PSP. For PS3 or Xbox 360, it could easily used PSN or XBL to make a secondary online game (like .hack//FRAGMENT, except not a complete failure), and for the PSP, you could use Ad Hoc to go dungeon crawling with your friends. I think it'd be pretty sweet.

I went to Bowling Green today with Kurt. We watched the Dark Knight (killer movie, Heath Ledger made it. My only complaint is Batman's stupid voice, it sounds like he's smoked since he was six), and afterwards we went to go eat. Mediocre, I hate eating out at restaurants. After that we went to the mall. I decided to embarrass Kurt and tail behind him saying "KURT, I GOTTA POOPY, TAKE ME TO THE BATHROOMS!" Got some several bad looks.
Looked for Shin chan crap, but they had nothing. So I bought a bottle of Ramune marble soda (waste of money), and FFIV.

Some people just don't have opinions. Like Hikaru_Isamu.
Hikaru_Isamu must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could Hikaru_Isamu possibly have for not rating a single film?
