No I know the AR was perfect, I was saying bleedthrough with it was bad since people just killed eachother alot. I agree with you.

The Reach melee system did three things.

1 - Actually pull off being worse than Halo 3's pre-patch
2 - Completely kill close range combat
3 - Make double beatdowns even more likely than before

I know. Halo 3 though people would just to eachother shooting then melee. Bungie tried to fix it but did it wrong. Now that our guns are weaker you dont need to shoot now.

LOL, real rap is not made for you, white people.

We don't expect you to "get it." And you don't, as you've made abundantly clear through your numerous embarrassing dances, karaoke performances, ignorant haters, and pitiful imitators.

You giving your opinion on rap is like a dog watching TV. It's kind of cute because it LOOKS like he knows what's going on, but you know he really has no actual ability to comprehend it.

I honestly don't mind Sword Block...
Me neither. Also the sword is still Overpowered.
You have to be joking me.
I can get an easy 10 kills with it so...
The Hammer and Shotgun have more ammo then the sword and get even more easy kills.

Where's my shotgun block?

Why should you ever be punished by luck for controlling a power weapon? Why is it only one power weapon?

How is sword block luck? You melee the second the enemy swings...thats not luck. Luck is chance based.

Bungie should consider investing in precipitation gathering nets for these forums. The sheer amount of tears shed by anyone who's been destroyed by armor lock, jet pack, grenades, and the AR could continuously operate hydroelectric dams, irrigate farms, and provide clean drinking water for third world countries.

OP got wrecked because he can't use the sword properly. Cry some more.

We have been raised for combat...
We carry our banner to our fights...
Alone we are a menace, together we are a threat...
Born to raise hell, live to drop back in it...
Never retreat, never surrender... we are spartans.

Sword block: it happens so what??? you died, move on. The world isn't over.

If I was pist by every time this happen to me this forum would be filled with my complaints.

Armor lock: Created to counter users that spend power weapons on single targets that aren't vehicles.

Now yes a few things could be nerfed but, heck, I was already killed by whole teams using A.L. and when I tried to run them over. But I'm not typing how mad I feel on the internet.

If people have a reasonable excuse to not liking it that's fine, but whats moronic is feeling hate for something the majority, if not everyone, has experienced and instead of moving on like everyone they stop and nag and nag like it's going to do something when it isn't.

Know what that is? Here's a tip:
"The concept of madness is doing the exact same thing over and over, expecting a different result".
(no offense intended)

There's even a tale-tale sign on players that have armor lock, here's one example:

-When attempting a splatter and the target seems to be moving towards and/or infront of you, they are planning to armor lock.

Another example:

-Sees someone with rockets and instead of jumping around to avoid the blast they move towards you, he/she is planning to armor lock.

-Walk towards an area with spammed grenades, planning to use armor lock.

In short: anyone with armor will neglect some dangers to overcome the other team/player.

In short: Sword block is a matter of timing and luck, no biggy, armor lock is a matter of analizing your opponents carefully.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

I heard you fellas were talkin' 'bout me so I just decided to drop in and shake your guys' hands.

You sir are an idiot. It can be clearly seen that the opponent AL'd when he was mid-lunge

That video was very painful to watch. he should have been dead 3 times over.

And even at the end when he went to lunge for the third time, his reticule was red and locked dead on, but he did't lunge. WTF.


That lunge glicth happen to me before and it IS a pain, specially in living dead.
