First off, I NEVER ask anyone here to do any "research" for me at all. NEVER! Excuse me for believing a fellow Xbox vet in the forums may already have the answer.
You did that all by yourself because you're (clearly) so pity that you need something to complain about and/or someone to put down. I simply asked if anyone (happen) to know how long LIVE was around. Granted the achievement system time frame didn't even cross my mind til Ian mentioned it.

I NEVER thought for a moment that anyone would remember every person they have played. To even consider such a idea is flat out stupid. But when you're playing someone (on your team or not) with a 11 year LIVE subscription and unique gamertag, they tend to stand out in your mind enough that you just MIGHT remeber playing them. Which is what I was hoping for. The only reason I shared his profile was in hope it might help jog someone's memory.

I couldn't care less that he beat me in the game. I get beat in games A LOT. Why in the world would this one guy beating me be so importaint to me? We all incounter players FAR WORSE that have beaten us (in one game or another) far worse then he did me in this game. WHO CARES?!?! It's a bloody game!

Yes I said a few months ago that I was done with Halo4. Modtly due to the terrible weapon & aa balance. But guess what. PEOPLE ARE FREE TO CHANGE THEIR MINDS!!! Mine changed due to the feedback to my quitting post, possitive support from my Halo and nonHalo friends. Because of this I continue to play today. Mostly Swat, Richochet, & Team Snipers. And only once or twice a week or two. Don't get me wrong, Richochet still has it's problems (mostly the Haven Map) but it can still be fun. Especially if you adopt a role and stick to it. In my case, that's defence.

As for the time issue, I didn't have any. Games started VERY QUICKLY last night for me. The few that didn't allowed me a chance to use the restroom or grab a snack. And at two points, make my original post. And fi ding someone's profile on Xbox.com is very easy & fast. I used a phone to get that link, post and type this. Which is at least a hundred times faster then my computer. Especially when your recent games and profile are bookmarked/pinned.

Why didn't I simply compare our games on the Xbox? Simple. I didn't have the time between matches and doing so would prevent me time to vote on a map/game. That is when I wasn't thrown into a game. It took me two breaks between games to make my original & very short post simply b/c I didn't have the time to do it in one sitting.

I NEVER "whined" in my post. I simply asked a question or two and seeked feedback so I'd know if I need to report him for modding. I even stated that I didn't believe he did but wasn't sure. That happens when you shoot a guy with a needler and later a sniper to the head and he doesn't go down.

All any of you had to do was say; "I don't remember playing him. But doubt he was cheating." and leave it at that. And if you happened to have the Xbox Live time period, share it. If not, then don't reply. It's not like I couldn't look it up when I had the time. Instead I'm having to right this ridiculously long reply comment because some of you decided to make a simple post inquiry a big deal and throw it out of proportion with attacks against me. I simply asked a couple questions. I even asked if I should report him for possibly cheating or not!! Which I never did. I was even waiting to see your replies before contacting him. Jumping down a fellow (long time) member's throat for being a littls curious is extremely childish and you all (that did it) should be ashamed of yourselves.

Sorry if I'm coming off as a jerk, but I've had a very long night of staying up worrying about a family member in the hospital (in another state), and playing Halo to take my mind off of him. Only to get 3 hours of sleep, visit family, and then get on here to have to deal with you all's unjustified crappy comments.

Snipe, if I don't get to make it Team Christmas night, it'll be b/c I've been with family and need the rest. But I will try to make it.
