@FIRST!!!: it IS a Mexican holiday.

I'm mexican. first of all, theres nothing like a good ol cheap tequila to burn your throat.
Second, as mentioned already, we dont give a crap about the holiday, it's actually embarrasing for me, it's the celebration of a battle we won to the french. after that. they kicked our sorry ass.

we care because we won't go school or work(i actually went to work, but got paid 3x)

@VeNoMmx:

And yet most people take it as an excuse to not go to work or school =P

BTW, this reminded of 'La Cucaracha's' Cinco de Mayo comics.

@Pseudo-Mexicans:
I'm a mexican i live in Monterrey and it is true we really don't celebrate 5 de Mayo as off the hook on the US. (Depending on where n Mexico do you live).But take in consideration the big mexican groups located in the US. for them is a sort of nostalgic way to remember where they are from and just oher cultures like how they party and adopt the same feeling.

Like kojirodensetsu said, Bungie's been doing 'Double Exp Weekend' for a while now. A different game-type each week: SWAT, Snipers, Infection, etc., and all for 2 exp per win.

Hmm, now that I think of it.. didn't Bungie make DEW (because abbreviations are cooler) a regular, weekly occurrence once Call of Duty 4 came out? It's an interesting strategy to lure players, and I genuinely wonder how well it's working.

Speaking of CoD4 and DEWs.. when its map pack was released, CoD4 had a DEW. And anyone familiar with CoD4's experience system knows.. -that- was something to be excited about..

@josh924: Yeah I went to the site and that's what it said. Never played that mode on Halo 2, so this will be cool. Can't wait to try it.

@Captain Impulse: I'm pretty sure you spawn start with random weapons, kind of like the Fiesta rule set in Halo 2.

@Haniko: Can't you get banned for that kind of shit?

StupidDufus — Fri, 02 May 2008 21:44:53 MDT

Hey, I'm half-Mexican, and I don't care if people celebrate it. My only complaint is Americans don't usually know the difference between this holiday and Mexican Independence Day.

GamePark32 — Fri, 02 May 2008 21:16:39 MDT

Well, I'm Mexican and I don't think there's anything wrong with Americans or anyone else celebrating Cinco De Mayo. Although it's true that most people in Mexico don't celebrate it as much as in the U.S., as long as people are having fun celebrating while respecting the culture of others it's all good.

Dear America:

STOP CELEBRATING CINCO DE MAYO! You treat it like some sort of Saint Patrick's day, when we Mexicans don't give two shits about the holiday!

We don't go out and get drunk. We don't have parties. At most there'll be a parade, or a day off school, but that's it!

AAaaaaaaaaaa@(#$&@#$&@#&$#@($#@

Fiesta style rule sets? I gotta see what these are all about.

@Haniko: #2 or #3 most played game on XBL daily, bumped down thanks to GTA and occasionally overtaken by COD4 (they like to play tug-of-war with each other).

Blah. Tell me when the second set of maps are free, then I'll play. Or at least tell me when CoD4 is offering some double points. That would be more useful.
