I totally agree the chatpad is totally worth them money. Even if it is just to send the text messages between clan members it makes entering the text so much easier.

defiantly agree! I like the text over the voice, you can read it so much better than you can listen to it!
You can set up your MSN messenger to come up during game play instead of going to the XBox guide button screen. Has the MSN logo on it and you just click it and it's pretty self explanatory after that.

Still don't understand how sending a message during a match is helping your team, unless the person texting is so bad that they are actually a disadvantage for the team.....
Also don't approve of campers.

Let me repeat...
"You probably think that any second not being used to try to kill your opponent is a big disadvantage when in reality it`s just a simple luck roll and can go either way."
"Texting during a game is not an advantage all by itself. It`s what you do before and after you text that gives either advantage or disadvantage. Leaving your team a gun down can be an slight advantage or a slight disadvantage depending on what you tell your teammates to do, and the situation on the field. Certainly, running out right in the path of enemies who cut you down is a disadvantage, whereas waiting for the enemy, and bouncing a grenade where they are gonna be will give the advantage to you."
Assuming you clear an area of enemies or hide where they won`t likely look, you may get back into the game at a critical time to find the enemy unprepared for you, possibly preoccupied with others.
Whenever I`ve met this criteria, more often than not, I get a free kill, rather than the other way around.
As for camping, I`ll argue that camping is a premise of war - such as a sniper waiting for a target - and is thus essential in order to survive or defeat the opposite team. Spawn camping, however, is generally not regarded as acceptable in informal or public matches as it renders the game unplayable for some who do not take lightly being killed the instant they respawn or soon thereafter.( Me included, though I admire those that successfully spawn camp because though the game may be lost, its still fun to try to break the camp, or get a kill for a kill at least. Most would not think to look at it this way, and just get upset and/or leave.)
However, if it`s a competition, especially if money is involved, I`d do whatever it takes to win as defined by the game and its host, including spawn killing.
Just be happy I haven`t seeked to know how to spawn kill like a professional.

Do you get camping?
How about text messaging?
What about hiding in game for maybe 30 sec to return and frag some guy who wondered into your vicinity unaware of you?
Are you seeing the argument he`s making that is not 100% correct due to scenario of before and after you are idle?
Sigh...
Why haven`t you shown this man the Light!
Go forth and comprehend!!!

Ok, first of all, it`s a strategy, and I`ve stated, "it`s just a simple luck roll and can go either way."
The goal of the strategy is to keep you alive long enough for you to come back into the game.
However, it can sometimes haves the added benefit of giving you an advantage over the other team.
Have you ever been in the wrong place at the wrong time?
How about being in the right place at the right time?
Same concept, except it`s in a game. Yep, I`m talking about surprise attack.
Let me elaborate further. This strategy works in Halo when you can find good positioning for it( A place less traveled and/or looked at.)
It works even better when a teammate communicates, and coordinates with you before, during, and after you`re done.
Knowing when it`s appropriate also helps this strategy.
This strategy has worked 99% of the time in my favor, allowing me to send a message, and minimize my chance for losses.

Well if you are playing halo then even if you don't die when doing this it dosent mean your team mates haven't died because of you.
As far as I'm concerned it just sounds like a worse form of camping. Camping in general against decent players is pretty pointless so I can't imagine this being a good "tactic".
At the end of the day it means one less player to teamshot, control power weapons and spawn trap and that in itself makes it a stupid "tactic" imo.
