"..maintain discipline!"

Happens alot, and I usually just go on a stealthly
hunt session until time runs out or someone finally
decides to run the objective.

It's lame, and a waste of time.. I feel ya.

You're not good at Halo either.

Someone has to mainslay.

:3 I will die. :[

The reason why we do this is 2 can do the objective and one can slay since Call of Duty 4 you can instantly spawn.Halo gives 10 seconds to the player to respawn giving enough time to players to escape with the objective or plant the objective or take it.The Main Slayer will look for the enemy scattered from the base or place and look for spawns to stop the enemy team from flanking the people w/ the object etc.So they can score!This also happens in MLG and MLG tourneys.

Not true. I've had a game where it was me, a noob, a noobs guest, and a person about tied with me, versus 4 people with higher skill than us. We went for objectives, they went for kills. We won easily. As long as you use teamwork, and shoot when people are visible, you can usually beat kill farmers.
Honestly, kill farming is useless in this game, where experience is based off wins.

Add me if you're a serious MLG player.

Well if you just grab the bomb and walk into their base without killing any of the opposition, you're not going to get very far. The general rule for objective gametypes is to get at least half of the other team dead, and then pull/arm the objective.

riot is to halo as batman is to gotham city

Slaying can be at times as important as the Objective. If say, it is multi-flag on the Pit, and they have your flag in their scoring pit, with the score tied 2-2, and you stop them, you are going to want to return the flag by slaying them, instead of leaving the flag unattended to work on your objective.

And for something that isn't so obvious: Sometimes it is better to slay a team on spawn a few times to force them to spawn where you want them to. If you are running the flag under the base on Standoff, through the hatch which is opened by the controls, it is best to slay the enemy team until they spawn on Camo, instead of trying to inch it up if they spawn Bruteshot.

You understand what I'm getting at, right?

Assualt games are usually just 15 minute deathmatches (at least for me) anyway, so you might as well boost your K/D while you're at it.


You care too much about stats.

Capping the flag or planting the bomb 3 times in the first 2 minutes against retards isn't fun.

it is for me. Speed games are massive fun, plus it is easy EXP, and moves you to the next game much faster. Plus, that is the point to objective gametypes anyway. To score and win quick as possible.

May 11 will be known as Halo 2 Day for me from now on.

Well Ive been in the Navy since June 25, 2009 and its a fun job right now.

Play with friends cause it just makes it so much easier other then that not much you can really do about it.

"A mans true maturity should be based on how he acts when his identity is a secret."
Halo Reach is how a Halo should be. Simple, Fun, and Awesome. See you online.

I know that feeling. I go into social skirmish for a reason, I hate social slayer. I need an objective other than killing people.
