The BS of Halo Reach

So there is some new glitch you can do if you are host in a game that lets you kill people instantly. It involves somehow meleeing and shooting at the same time so you take out their shields and shoot them in the head for the kill. I also stopped playing swat because a lot of people use aim bots. Wtf is this shit. I never remember any modding problems in Halo 3. I friggen loved swat. A-holes ruined it.

Here's a video by Bryan Simon explaining the instant kill glitch I first talked about.

If you play Halo you might enjoy this.

Anybody know of any other good mods for minecraft?

Anyone else addicted?

And if you don't know what Minecraft is, GO PLAY IT.

I wouldn't recommend watching anything about it though. I did that before I started playing it and I thought it looked pretty dumb. My friend made me play it though and now I love it.
