    PDT? Could you use a more global known Time zone pl0x? And the 1v1 will be ranked, also it'll use the 'Duel' gametype, so the player in the lead has a waypoint over there head.

    20 Ammo?

    It would need a couple of rounds to kill someone.

    Me too, havent Bungie acknowledged that we are better at Forge than they are? I just thought of something, every one I beat on 1v1, I'm gonna write it down and keep a list of every one I'm better than. lol.

    I guess i didn't read it right the first time, I thought it was team DUALS so i thought it was gonna suck. But duels is br starts, so thats good. Plus, if they have waypoint, you can't hide, even though there are spots you can't be hit from.

    Sounds like pwnage time.

    If yo uread the bungie post - instead of finding every single post possible so yo ucan look like a recognized member two weeks after joining, you would know that it was only decresed by .48% and thats not going to do very much. so stop bitching. You make me want to punch a baby in the face.
