Annex and Guardian were my favourite matches

Easy to find games on Ranked Guardian tho, I'm playing there now.. I'm not a Guardian type of player tho.

Yeah, me too, I'm hoping that those new studios are working on new IP's or reboots of some of those OG Xbox games that Phil talked about. Maybe one of them is making Phantom Dust, sincer Microsoft never announced a developer. It'd also be cool if one of those new 1st party studios is a replacement for Ensemble as an RTS developer, it'd be great to have a good 1st party studio capable of working on Age of Empires 4 and Halo Wars 2.

^Since you guys are talking about your favorite Gears game modes, I thought I'd ask everyone what their favorite Halo multiplayer modes are?

Personally my favorites in order are:

1. Team SWAT
2. Team Slayer
3. Big Team Battle
4. Infection
5. Team Snipers (especially Shotty Snipes)
6. FFA
7. Rocket Race
8. Multi-Team
9. Griffball

I never much cared for most of the Objective games personally, in any FPS really.

That's what me n my buddy's played. I like gears a lot and it's my second favorite mp but it hasn't been the same since gears 1. I think gears 1 rivaled halo. Me, my brother, and friends played ranked assassination 19 rounds. Not that many people played it so everyone knew everyone and u could literally play against the same 4 guys all night long. It was real special I got to rank 112 and my brother broke the top 20. I had about 10k kills in assassination and he had more than 20k. but I think gears 2 was way to laggy/glitchy/hit detection sucked. And 3 was a little better but sawed off and other weapons sucked.
