Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact… same freaking map… over and over again expecting… another map to be voted… That. Is. Crazy.
So i changed playlists, big team battle to dominion, there is no point playing objective, everyone i know stopped playing halo since reach, and the only people i meet online dont speak english or dont have a mic, on top of going negative 20 and losing every single game.
Been playing since launch and today was unbearable. Joined a game, 900 to 80, i was on the 80 team of course. Game ended pretty soon, proceeded to avoid all the players on my team, im getting sick of losing every game, and people wit 3 kills and 24 deaths dont help. Left as soon as i was in the lobby, joined another game, what do you know, the exact same people again. Spending more time with the winning team every game they would steal our power vehicles straight away, i was always on my own trying to get them, somehow despite the fastest route to the scorpion they were there first every time, and they get the gauss hog, isnt that funny balance.
So after another game of 400 to 1000 i avoided everyone, my team dont know what guns are and the other team just sponged headshots, bolt shotted anyone, and horded vehicles which me team was incapable of getting all game. So that was the losers and the base rapers all avoided.
4 games later and 4 new searches later i was matchmade with most of them again, each game going to avoid them all to find out they already where avoided.
Any advice? Im getting sick of losing and claustrophobic situations where i cant move out my own spawn 
No point leaving the games because i just end up joining ones just as bad
Oh and another thing, is the announcer gone for anyone else?
Im not getting the announcer, explosions, or certain gun sound effects anymore
