Why is team tactical still in existence? No one plays it. Less people play that crap than social doubles.

Social Doubles allows for cheaters to get leveled up. I mean, that one General Grade 4 dude. Just wow.

you know honestly i haven’t played live in forever, the levels just don’t capture my attention for too long like H2 did! they need some more remakes of the old maps! I think there should be an amendment in the US Constitution stating that every game created hence forth shall have the map blood gultch!! Including H3!! =)
