Ever have that person watching you telling you what gun to use, when to meele, and when to throw a grenade... I don't know about you but it really bugs me.

My dad does the exact same thing, but he will also laugh if i die on legendary, I always look at him and say "I'd like to see you try!"

Ya its the worst when its somebody that is worse than you are, and when you tell them that they just say under their breath "i could beat you" even though you just finished killing them 25 to 5 in a 1v1 game.

Cant say that happens to me, my friends now im either equal in talent or better than them (not boasting but there are four of us who own the games who are the best out of our group and the rest, while good, do not compare!) so they keep their mouths shut.
The only time it did happen was when I used a sniper rifle and pistol combination.. my friend thought I was stupid but I whooped ass (it is one of my favourite combos)!

They think im cheating :)

I get the "you stole my kill" when the person I allegedly stole the kill from is on the verge of death and their enemy had full health more like I saved your life why cant you just be grateful.

I guess the people I play with are just too arrogant... one of my friends honestly thinks that he invented the corpse hump and the rest of the world copied him.

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

I do it.... but I hate it when its done to me.... I guess that makes me a hipocrite, in a way.

When I do it, I don't really tell people how to play (except ONE time I told someone that he should use 3 fingers on the keyboard of the computer in a different game (when using WASD control settings) instead of 2)... I only tell them where to go when it seems they are lost... more like advice, rather than control (but backseat controlling nonetheless).

I've been yelled at for that... I just can't help it... It drives me nuts when people overlook the obvious and get lost....

But I can't stand it being done to me. My brother is always saying, "LET YOUR SHIELDS RECHARGE!" Its like, shut up... I can kill these bastards without having shields, and live through the fight, and I KNOW there is a medipack close buy, so again, SHUT UP! .....he's going to get it next time we play a multiplayer match....

exactly the same as shai hulud and with people with less skill (and there is noone i know personalli hu is better than me) it annoys the hell out of me like sayin, take that rocket launcher its far better than that pistol, an im like ill use watever the hell i like!

I always get some jackass remark from behind me, and I slug them only because I know its there, or I'm just ignoring it. I was playing with some friends 3 vs. 1 and I was on the glitch on Blood Gulch. Nobody knew where I was, and I was sniping them like crazy. All of a sudden my mom comes in and says, "Oh, he's on top of that rock," and points on their screen where I am. I died . . . a lot . . . but I still beat them 50 to about 4 because they would always shoot each other because I wore the same color as other people.

i do it,but i hate it when its done to me.
my brother (9 years old and sucks at campain on legendary) is trying to beat a level. ill tell him throw a 'nade,melee his back,use the needler....etc. but he NEVER does,only cause i told him too. then he dies. then he tries what said,he beats it.

im playing. and he tells ME (the good Halo player) how to play! i tell him SHUT UP...and yes i know i have 3 bars of health and there are 2 elties...i also know what i have a needler in my hand so i donr care! AND i know there is a health pack. SHUT UP.

and ANOTHER time i had a friend over,he hasnt played Halo in 3 years almost. we had just beaten the game on co-op on normal and he thinks he can beat the game on legendary. now i take this as aninsult to all hardcore players. so he tries the first level and cant beat it...he tells me try. (its just the first room past the 3 grunts),i beat it,not losing any health. he says "i could beat it if i did that..."

Its actually easier 3 vs 1. cause then they have only 1 person to kill while you have 3. if you can get at least 1 kill before dying you will stay tied.

Agreed. It is easier when it's you against three or more people. I've experienced that both ways. :D

It is very annoying when worse players (or not even Halo players!) are trying to give you tips and advice. When watching I just say anything I want, in my head! This is because I don't like backseat Haloing and therefore won't inflict it on anyone else.
