I joined a FFA game that had been going on for hours, just so I could try it out and make sure everything was working. I had to be against some pros or something, because I was being quadruple shotted/double shotted, 5 seconds after I spawned.

 

The two names I remember because they had the most kills were WBC Aaron (something like that) and Smite.

It's hilarious on Halo Wars when you get a full army of Cobras, unpack them in front of an enemy base and watch their futile attempts to take them out...until they make 1 hornet.

Pros don't play it anymore, just some hardcore guys who play FFA Lockout BR only all day.

I see.

 

By the way, do you think they'll ever remake Lockout and put it in a future Halo game (be it 4 or a map pack for Reach)?

Halo 3 has Blackout. It's a good map but a pretty lousy remake.

Yeah, Blackout is just too...cumbersome. Lockout is much better.

In CoD I consider a k/d of >2 good.

How about in Halo?

~1.5

It sucks you can't reset your kills and deaths. Having a far lower K/D than I should because of me sucking when I started playing sort of irritates me. I'm not the kind of person that cares a lot about my K/D, but it's nice to know how you are doing AT THE MOMENT, not over a year ago. :-|

Just got over 40 kills in Living Dead. Why is this even allowed...?

Why do you think it's the most populated playlist?

Ego stroking through K/D spreads. When people start qutting because they're the zombie though, that's when it gets silly.

 

I kind of wish they'd remove Invasion and Living Dead from representation in "Matchmaking kills". You'd get less people playing them but at least they'd be playing the game properly. Watching a Banshee spawn kill on Spire while the core gets delivered is pretty disheartening. Watching four of your own team get wiped out by a sticky because they're waiting for it and not watching the Elites spawn behind them is just lulz.

Just played a few games. Hadn't played in a while. I sucked it up hard, lol. So bad.

 

Thinking of getting Skyrim. That would actually be fun.

Skyrim is gooood

Finally beat Reach on Legendary by myself. I have to say, while it was a challenge, it's no where near as hard as some of the others.

Man, if I can beat even one level of a game on maximum difficulty without savescumming, it's on the far left of the difficulty curve. :blink:

 

Heyooo

dayuuum! :thumbup:

Even more impressive when you see there's only four bullets left in that sniper rifle. You couldn't have afforded to miss a single shot.

Double Post!

 

Third Perfection medal today.[1] This is going to sound like a silly question but... when you're DMRing, do you aim the first four bullets at the body (because it's bigger), and only go for the head when shields are down? Or is it better to just aim for the head with all precision weapons at all times?

Double Post!

On TU slayer, correct me if I'm wrong but 3 to the body and 1 to the head is the way to go. Unless I've been getting lucky with semi shielded enemies...

TU Slayer doesn't change the damage of any of the weapons. It's still 4 body+1 headshot with the DMR. The reason why it may seem like you need less shots is because people are more vulnerable while having their shields recharge because of the bleedthrough.

I tend to just go for headshots and I'd like to think that I fare fairly well.

There's a new(ish) website up and running featuring videos every Wednesday made by the pros that discuss what's going on in Halo that week, be it MLG or otherwise. There's also a great up-and-coming forum presence over there with a lot of great information inside. Stop buy you guys. :)

Very dependent on situation. I find it's convenient to keep the habit of going for headshots, but if someone is barely visible (like strafing through obstacles) then you just want to get what you can take.

Heard a lot of new info about Halo 4 (well, some) and I also found out the release date, which is 6th November. :thumbup:
