Do you guys think there is an advantage with fighting a man down? I mean I believe there is. I think its a "More for us, Less for you " advantage. What do you guys think?

Depends on the gametype and map, I think. If it's an objective game than obviously it's a disadvantage to have fewer players, usually. If it's something like a team snipers game or something than it shouldn't have as big of an impact.

RIP Halo 2.

It's a disadvantage. It's more people who can team up and kill you.

It can go both ways. If you're outnumbered, statistically you're going to lose most of the time. However, if you play smart, you can rack up kills because there are more targets to choose from.

And like a previous poster said, if it's objective, you're pretty screwed.

Objective - screwed no matter what your skill is

Slayer - Advantage, IMO. I can beat 3 pretyt good people on a team by myself routinely - not because I'm amazing at the game, but because if I get lucky a few times and double up when they kill me once, I'm in the clear.

uh dont jump on the "you will lose" bandwagon just yet. If the teammate is terrible, its an advantage for them to quit. I have won plenty of CTF games with my friend when we are down 1, even 2 people.

"The best part of waking up is not Folgers in your cup but knowing Chuck Norris didn't kill you in your sleep."

I have to say on Slayer it can be an advantage. I have seen one too many times that one person rack up good numbers. On objective games I agree with most folks that you are screwed if your outnumbered. However I would temper that by saying it depends on the skill level.

In a Slayer gametype, it depends on how your opponents play. If they work as a team and stick together, you're at a disadvantage. If you manage to get a power weapon, usually getting teamed up on may give you a kill or two, but you'll end up losing your power weapon. If they regroup they can just repeat the process and wander as a power-weapon-mongering group. However, if they go off alone, you have more targets and it can be a slight advantage.
