Many people have told me to use BXB but since I use the boxer button setup. So it's LXL. BUT! That is useless. You do not melee quickly with it. Even before whatever excuses that some update got rid of it. So... besides people on Halo 2 matchmaking claiming BXR or BXB... I decided to look for my own melee killer awesomeness!

So I did.

It was pretty easy. And since I play Team Snipers a lot, it fixed the delay when you switch to the beam rifle quickly.

So anyway!

I call it my super-melee. It's very very simple actually. If you try it, you'll out-melee whoever you get into a close-range battle with. For me using the boxer button layout, it is LYL or BYB for you normie folks. You don't do it quickly. You do it quick. Quickly is like double-shot fast. Quick is melee and let it hit but as soon as it does, which is pretty fast anyway, you press Y to switch your weapon and melee to IMMEDIATELY hit your opponent again. If you do it sufficiently, you would be able to super-melee a wall and be able to hear two quick thuds OR many thuds if you keep pressing BYBYBYBYBYBYBYBYB.

I've actually gotten triple-kills and killtaculars with it. Especially on Lockout while everyone is all close together.

So anyway, there you go.

SUPER-MELEE.

man, I can see why no one wants button gliches, but it's things like this that make them so COOL!

but, Overswarm found it before you, so.

When did Overswarm find it?

And I'm glad you didn't say 'discovered' it. That would be crazy.

And yes, this button glitch is a rarity no matter what games I play. I once survived a BXR because of it. The guy hit me just after I hit him and then I hit him again and he fired at the ceiling whilst doing a backflip. So if you understand how fast a BXR is... the BYB is faster. T_T

And... I wonder though, who did discover it? I just know I found it. But like I said up there, I ask people and they only tell me about the BXB. Then they get all giddy when I show them how fast you can kill with BYB.

this has been around since Halo: CE. I've always done it when I had a full clip. I preffer BXR, though..

Pretty much every button glitch has been found. Especially one as simple as that.

Haha. Not really. It's uber easy to claim it's been around since Combat Evolved. I've tried. You can't switch weapons that fast. And I don't know how fast the PC is with Combat Evolved.

Anyway, it's not simple nor has it been found. Now I only know of two people knowing it. Me and some person named Overswarm. So... stop with yer iffy attitude.

BYB was found a loooong time ago. I learned about it first from Overswarm's video
(at 52 seconds) and it's common knowledge for lots of people because at least 16,000 people viewed it AND that's only for the youtube views not including the unknown number of videos downloaded here that hasn't been accounted for since it was originally posted April 15, 2005. Over 2+ years ago!

Ooh. A year after Halo 2ness was out? Niiiice.

But from teh thousands of games I've played as LakotaWarrior87, I remember peoples talkin' aboot BXB like it was the -blam!-. This was way before BXR was ever popular.

But if it was discovered two years ago, that's pretty damn cool. What isn't pretty damn cool is very FEW peeps claiming BYB has been around since the dinosaurs when, in fact, barely anyone KNOWS let alone USES BYB.

It's kind of late to do a poll as anyone who reads this or gets this taken to them by word-of-mouth will vouch for BYB's longevity.

Ha. Even two guys with one having a sun and the other a comet for their rank didn't know what BYB was. But what did they tell me when I told them of the super-melee? BXB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Though I'm not a doubtful person... I don't think that many people know of it, even if they watched it. And I'm watching the video you linked but already knew of BYB prior to MY watching it. Thanks. ^_^

It just hasn't caught on. There are tons of button glitches but many of them are not very useful in combat or in this case there's a better button combo that's just as fast and doesn't require you to have a secondary and that's BXB.

umm...you're not the first one to find this glitch, its called the BYB because all you're doing is switching the weapons and bashing with each different one, although its faster than normal BB, it is however (and i dare you to debate this with be b/c ive tried both many times) not faster than the BXB...and if you're insinuating that the BXR and BXB don't work you're most likely dead wrong. The only reason i use them is because ive had to adapt to the cheaters advantages.

I also know i was one of the first to use it because i found it a week after h2 came out.

Duuuuuuuuude, Lethal Victim...

I'm not claiming to be the first one to have found it. Sheesh. And yes, it's way faster than BXB and the BXR. Actually, BXB is slow and more often does NOT work as it only cancels the first melee and creates the second one which DOES hit who you're trying to melee. And that's useless.

And like I said before, I'm not a doubtful person, but I know you weren't the first to use BYB. More than likely, any one of Bungie staff during humpdays or testing the game found the button glitches.

All I'm saying with this topic is that barely anyone uses it and can only recommend BXB as the super-melee... but say they've known about BYB the whole time.

And Fatso... Blegh! I've already said that the BXB is uber useless... I know this because muh friend and I, out of boredom, played up to 100 without shields and just plasma pistols. He used BXB and I used BYB (or LYL) the whole time. I won 100 to 17.

Though, I don't recommend anyone doing the same thing... my index finger still has the sore-memory of that hangnail I had after the two hours of pulling the left trigger. (Boxer button layout.)

It's very simple and I thought of it loooong ago, but it's kinda useless cause BXB and BXR are much better so I never bothered to really tell anyone, besides everyone probably already knew already, it's incredibly simple.

If you think BXB is useless and slow then you're timing the button combo wrong. If you think BXR is slow then you're really timing the button combo wrong. Nothing kills faster than a BXR. Done properly it's like getting no-scoped-in-the-face-point blank-with-a-sniper-rifle fast.

And Fatso... Blegh! I've already said that the BXB is uber useless... I know this because muh friend and I, out of boredom, played up to 100 without shields and just plasma pistols. He used BXB and I used BYB (or LYL) the whole time. I won 100 to 17.
1. What's your secondary?
2. Why do you need to BYB if one melee is all you need to kill someone with no shields?

1] Human pistol.
2] Because we were trying to avoid getting hit. So a lot of lunging happened and the quick second melee would finish the other off. I once ended up butterflying over my friend's head then hit him on the way down.

And without shields seeeeeems pointless, but it's like treating the match as though you're boxing but you and your opponent both have nitroglycerin on your gloves.

But I agree, the BXR is fast, just not fast enough. It can be dodged by those who use the BXR. For me, the BXR is actually LXR. For one, it allows me to use the right thumbstick to aim instead of having to take my thumb off the right thumbstick to press the B button. Anyway, that's beside the point. Doesn't matter who, really, I've dodged and seen people dodge out of the way of a BXR/LXR. Sidestepping isn't hard to do and it easily defeats someone trying to BXR.

What finger do you use to press X if your thumb is on the right thumbstick?

The point I was trying to make is that BXB and BXR are just as fast if not faster than BYB and you're saying BXR is not fast enough because it can be dodged? Under the best of circumstances when someone is standing right in front of you executing a BXR/BXB kills much faster or just as fast as BYB. You've demonstated quite clearly that you haven't timed the button presses to effectively use BXR and BXB so I don't expect you to agree.

BTW the 100 kill game you played proves nothing considering you had no shields and I doubt your friend could execute BXB properly either. How can you test BYB vs BXB when the first melee kills anyways? Play a game with shields against someone that can BXB and then determine who can land the two shot blow faster.

Become the hunter.

One would think that the first melee would kill in a game with no shields, but go into team swat and try to beat someone down with one smack.

Damage resistance is on for that specific gametype. I doubt he enabled this setting because it's not accessible in the quick options.
