It’s not a spartan company… It’s a clubs for xbox live group that anyone can join for a more focused LFG pool.

If that is the case, then the Recruiting subforum is still the appropriate place to go for advertising your Xbox Club.

We don’t recruit, everyone is welcome. If I had it my way, all join requests would automatically be accepted. The club only exists as a tool for players when they specifically want to play warzone for a much more efficient LFG search experience.

Recruiting is any sort of call for people to join you, no matter how inclusive the call is. The fact is this thread is not the appropriate place to advertise your club. Please keep any further discussion in this thread on the topic of the upcoming Warlords 12-man fireteam playlist.

Calling it recruiting is comparable to calling ske7ch’s original post recruiting for the official halo club. I’m just trying to help players have an easier time finding a team to play with.
I’m legit just trying to help, no need to give me a hard time about it 
Why is this playlist just a test though? Is there any chance of it not staying around?

Do you two know anything about what I posted at the bottom of page 4? About teams doing things to bypass the 6man team limit and getting themselves Full 12 player Fireteam party? Has this been address by 343i anywhere yet? If not, could you bring it to their attention?

I read the post but unless there’s some explanation as to how it’s being done, it’s going to take a while for it to get patched I would imagine.

I can explain it, but that would get me flag for showing an exploit. I can also link games too, and that would also get me flag… :-\
