Okay, a couple of things I thought of but wanted to put in a separate post:
1. Please share strategies with everyone. It helps bring everyone up to speed and makes the game more fun. I don't know about you guys, but I don't like matches where I'm either being dominated completely or the reverse. The most fun ones are the ones that are close and competitive.
Share strategies here in this thread, and read the main HTF clan thread as Lex Luther posted some really good dual-wielding strategies.
2. Let's try to balance teams. When we chat in the lobby, be honest with how good you are at objective based games. I'm ranked a 10 in small-team slayer, but in reality I'm probably more like a 5 in big-team objective based games. I'm not real familiar with the larger maps that the big-team games are at (that underground purple one for example), and although I'm good at backing my teammates up in team slayer, I'm not real great at the strategies behind capturing a flag, or controlling a territory. I think I understand the basic concept of oddball though.
3. We'll mix it up, with regards to the type of games we play. We'll use democracy to the extent that we can get a majority of people agreeing to a type of game. If someone really hates one particular type of game, speak up at the lobby, but try to keep an open mind and give each a shot. Remember, this won't count towards your ranking.
