Gen3sis, you are being so irrational right now it is almost unbelieveable.

I just have a problem with people who make -blam!- up or find the need to make a post that has already been done a thousand times before.

Whiners, play the game, or don't. It's that simple.


Nope ur bad.


Calling me out again colonol?
No I just fixed it for you. Never apologize during a nope ur bad


I was joking I'll be on Reach next week. And thanks for the fix.

i went outside once, the graphics were ok but the gameplay sucked.

OP, are you just angry cause he tea-bagged you?

Seriously, you could have backed up when he went into armor lock to avoid EMP, and waited until he hit you with melee once for him to go into a 1 second cooldown. That would have been a huge opportunity to strike, since the sword is 1-hit kill.

Just take the situation against an armor lock user in a more defensive mindset, since they'll be playing defensively.

I'm a H3 Lieutenant Grade 2 and have no idea how to actually play Halo.
That's great, what makes you think I should listen to you?

Why would you assume I was angry? I won the game 50-15, for Christ's sake.

He had sticky grenades. I had no choice but to stay close to him. If I had backed off, he would have immediately unlocked and threw a sticky at me. I'm not retarded-- I know how to play this game.

Take a situation in a defensive mindset.. with a Sword. Yeah, not too logical considering you have to be purely offensive with a sword to get kills with it.

I figured you were angry, because there was a lot of things like that in your OP. It sounded very angry to me. I don't think I'm the first one.

Yes, you have to be offensive to use the sword properly, but that doesn't mean you can't be careful not to lose a power weapon when you're holding it.

And besides, he would have been out of armor lock after he threw a plasma at you anyway (since he popped it twice all the way to the ground), so you could have gotten the martyr kill IF he succeeded.

Chill out, man, it's a video game. Just kick the next team's ass.

Boo Hoo you're such a panzy! Obviously someone's mad. If you suck dick so much at this game than go play your COD or Battlefield. There's no obligation that you have to play Halo Reach, you're just trying to troll the forums but you sir fail. Here's a piece of advice for you. Adapt or Die. That's how it works in Reach. FYI this message is to OP.

I figured you were angry, because there was a lot of CAPSLOCK and things like that in your OP. It sounded very angry to me. I don't think I'm the first one.
There's no CAPSLOCK other than abbreviations (ie. DMR).

Yes, you have to be offensive to use the sword properly, but that doesn't mean you can't be careful not to lose a power weapon when you're holding it.
Which is exactly what I was doing. If I had backed off, it'd have gave him a large chance of sticking me and getting away with it alive. Me being in close-range eliminates the chance of him stealing my sword if he were to stick me.

I re-read the OP and changed the "CAPSLOCK" line. The tone of the entire post sounded angry to me in the first place.

As for backing off, did I say jump 50 metres to the right completely out of range of anything? I simply said back up to avoid EMP. It has a very small range (pretty much within basic melee range). Plasma grenades seem to have a larger range than melee as well, so the explosion has a better chance to get him too.

Sword lunge is available when your reticle turns red, also. If you find you're out of range as he's escaping, he most likely has his back turned, or is backpedaling at a slower-than-running pace. If you're stuck, you have an instant bee-line right to him.

I'm not saying "OMG CHILL OUT AND SHUT UP," I'm just saying relax, and don't get uptight over some douche that was an idiot in-game.

I was 1-shot. Backing off also would've presented the chance of him getting a headshot with the pistol before I could reduce the slight amount of distance needed for a lunge to take place. Backing off simply is the wrong choice in that situation. He'd have been dead if it weren't for the idiotic mechanic that is Sword Block.

It's just the only reason that you were without shields was cause of EMP. Giving it a little space to not affect you would have given you a chance to strike back at him after he melee'd you, is all I'm saying.

Not being judgemental, OP.

  • 06.29.2011 5:07 PM PDT

We're gonna fight, me and you. We know who's really right about this conversation. If you don't then let's think this through, with out fists. If that doesn't suit you, we can use pistols. How does this prove who's right?

Well, we both know I'll win, that's a damn fact.

Hey, retreat is just advancing in an other direction :P

If you're talking about me avoiding the initial EMP, I literally pressed the lunge button the exact second he Armor Locked. Not my fault.

Again, not blaming you for the outcome of the situation. I'm simply saying stopping and assessing the situation, even for a fraction of a second before-hand, possibly / probably would have saved your life.

My K/D to yours, sure, I can see that. But looking at your stats, you most likely search with a full party on a regular basis. I have to search for randoms.

Personally, I think my stats are slightly above-average, but it's all subjective anyhow.

Anyone who claims the AR takes skill ought to shoot himself in the head. Preferably with the AR because they'll most likely miss with any other weapon.

If you can back up your opinion with some sort of stat or factual information, I may actually agree.

"Horribad" isn't exactly a very concrete argument.
