i use melee alot and i mean alot i try to focus on my br and sniper but i always seem to end getting melee as my tool of destruction in every game..my friends tell me this is bad and i should be careful about trying to melee so much...i was wandering what everyone else thinks because one of my dreams is to try and go mlg pro (yea i know im a nerd) and i dont want this to affect my gameplay...let me know what you think..

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.
Bad Guy, this is Gun.

theres nothing wrong with melee'ing

yeah, just do it if you want, its a core feature of halo 3, anyone that has a go at you for it is just dumb, they can do it as easily as you can

It's the universal Halo sign of a b****slap, to tell people that your gun is only for show, and to wake up your AFK teammates. You have to be careful though. When caught in a firefight, it's wise to get the hell out of there instead of trying to melee one out of four of them.

"Even in death, your Sergeant guides us home."

yeah if there close enough it only takes two hits, unless you don't shoot at all that would be kind of stupid.

na i always shoot..you know the usual four br shots to the head or snipe to the dome does it for me but most of the time i will find myslef go up against 2 or 3 people at once so i find it just easier to melee..but ye thanks

how come people can kill players with four shots to the head with a BR? i sure can't!

don't say its cos i have no aim (as i have even tested it against a stationary player on custom if nothing else) but it takes me 5 or more shots and before then they've usually killed me with 4 if we started shooting each other at the same time

  • 08.17.2010 10:34 AM PDT

3 to the body, 1 to the head.

  • 08.17.2010 10:36 AM PDT

yeah that usually works but surely that doesnt make sense if 5 shots to the head arent as good as 3 to the body and 1 to the head

anyway this is OT so i'll leave this thread alone :)

it could be your connection speed or your not pulling the trigger fast enough hahaha..idk bro..if the people your shooting are like me then they are probably straifing while your trying to shoot them which dosnt let all 3 bulets from your burst hit them which might not let you kill them with only 4 shots...idk 4 shots always works for me

  • 08.17.2010 10:40 AM PDT

i think its just me dude, my connections always been pretty naff

Thnx for the awesome sig Smyf!

and now it is my duty to completely drain you

Try to avoid melees. Fighting from long range will result in far less deaths and will allow you to get help from your teammates or help them out yourself.

mabey i also just checked out your stats and you use the ar alot...i dont even like to touch the ar dude its no bueno..idk in my opinion the ar is garbage..but thats just me

  • 08.17.2010 10:45 AM PDT

i know man, that's cos i played halo 3 one hell of a lot when it first came out, when AR starts were more common than BR starts, didnt have a choice back then lol

  • 08.17.2010 10:47 AM PDT

yea i know what you mean i played when it first came out and i didnt care about stats back then and just fooled around..but now if i even see someone use an ar i just laugh

  • 08.17.2010 10:49 AM PDT

yeah lol the only thing i find an AR handy for is finishing someone if i need to reload my BR nowadays

  • 08.17.2010 10:54 AM PDT

yea but that dosnt usualy happen for me because i have that nasty habbit of reloading after every kill

  • 08.17.2010 11:00 AM PDT

same, i do it all the time

sorry it seems i put reloading, i meant running out of ammo, dunno how i managed that :/

  • 08.17.2010 11:02 AM PDT

yea..

  • 08.17.2010 11:04 AM PDT

you only have to hit them in the head on the last shot. I've also tested it, it only takes 4 shots...
