Zomechin, I truly feel sorry for you. That was an example of the utter -blam!- that happens in this game on a consistent basis.

Ah, someone leaked. Now to find the leak and.... plug it.
With justice.

I use coup 5
Never Played halo 1 = Invalid opinion
Bloom isn't whats broken, its your idea of what good is and your opinion
Thats like saying uber nerf armor lock because like 20 percent of the community hates it. Oh wait..................

there are seriously way too many things that are making it feel like Halo: Combat Dissolved.

ICWUTUDIDTHAR
But really man I have never ONCE been sword blocked. Its a close range weapon that requires ah... you know. Timing.
Just get them when thier guard is down its not that hard to do.

No, it isn't hard to do. The problem is, sometimes it's just not practical to do so. Again, this is not how you should have to play Halo. Reach emphasizes crouching way too much.

Hes skilled with armor lock and timed it well which resulted in the teabag to the face. (your face to be precise)

Props to the man w/ armor lock.

Running away would've worked fine.

After having played this game all day, I agree.

Two makes there more than speakers.

At those saying "Run away."
Running away should not have been an option seeing as how the Sword is meant for close combat. And Armor Lock just saves people from getting away from stupid mistakes or getting into them, where they could have prevented it from happening prior to the situation.

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed, knowing that better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on death, for lives: not men, for flags.

Yeah that's Halo Reach gameplay right there for ya. He couldn't have ran away anyways. He was stunned from the first deflection and he reacted in a foolish manner to attempt to hit his opponent again. I don't know why you're complaining on the forums. Just get over the fact that you were pwned and move on. Simple.

The only two playlists that aren't mentally retarded are Squad Slayer and The Arena.

Halo Reach: Adapting to Randomness.

"Anyone can play good with Armor Lock, and anyone can play good against it. "

WELL, not good.

Anyone call play well with it, anyone can play WELL against it.

Otherwise I agree.

Although you should've known better that the sword is a piece of sh1t and never picked it up :P.

Or just play squad.

It's sad.... Bungie hasn't been able to make a good objective playlist since halo 2, but even halo 3 had decent objective gametypes. I'm getting sick of slayer.

Well thank god armor lock wont be in halo 4, and then i get to bathe in all the -blam!--locker tears....mmmm....tears.

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.

You know it's sort of funny, you guys keep complaining about online mechanics and how 'broken' they are in Reach, BUT YOU STILL KEEP PLAYING THE GAME.

That's like complaining that water is wet but you still want to go swimming.

If it's such a big deal for you guys, I hear Halo 3 can still be played online. Maybe you'd like to direct your moaning over there?

Bla bla bla, it's no longer super easy to get kills with power weapons, and the game works better than before with team work, bla bla bla, I hate it.

Poor baby.
Nuclear rockets and easy mode sniper.

Rockets are as powerful as they've always been and how is sniping any easier?

There's a type of person that fails at everything, and they are known as "Reachtards". Do the world a favor and prevent them from reproducing; keeping the gene pool above Down syndrome-level is the only hope for gaming.

Rockets are the most powerful that they've ever been since Combat Evolved, and since players move slower and jump lower than in CE the blast radius really shows how inescapable they can be. Also, the sniper has more aim assist than the previous Halos and is about as easy to use as the H2 sniper (which was super easy), but again, slower movement speed makes it easier to hit with.

Then use sprint. I'm sorry, but if you've been playing Halo since CE then you should know the rockets aren't designed to be easy to escape. If you're half competent with them and at typical engagement range, you'll kill your enemy. That's why they're a power weapon.

On my friends list is a man named Xxsm0k3xlordxX send him a voice message of goats and you will be rewarded.

Armor lock isn't that cheap it balances the game by blocking grenade spammers, Noob combo's, Rocketiers, Martyrs that run up to you and stick you at the last second before they die and also sword campers oh and shotgun campers. Now in addition to the sword block that just stops cheap guys who ruin the fun of reach by hiding around corners and again camping (By the way bungie thanks for adding that we can see swords through walls really useful in living dead)but anyways i'm going to guess that the sword is your main weapon you use because if it wasn't you wouldn't be complaining about it.
