You honestly think I didn't know any of that? What you said changes nothing, and honestly how you describe the game shows that you really don't know what you're talking about, despite your great writing skills.

Stop whining

Because that video obviously shows a mature stand point regarding the balance of Armor Lock and it's pros and cons within the Halo franchise.

No, that video shows people like you, who don't understand the deep reasons as of why Armor Lock is detrimental, and just post a video made by ignorant teens who make fun noises trying to annoy players who actually care about the game.

Pathetic insult is pathetic.



Ever given it thought that I don't honestly care? I have bigger things to worry about. But my military training has made me really hate whiners so I just felt the need to post that. I'm sorry that it upset you, I didn't realize people would be that sensitive over a video that's obviously not to be taken serious.

Considering what your idea of intelligent arguments are from earlier, no, I don't think you knew that.

Secondly, if what I'm describing to you is what you know (I'm sure), than how is it that I don't know what I'm talking about when it's apparently true? You've only invalidated your first point with your second.

That one guy was right, from earlier; we DO have a retard here. Problem is, he thought it was me.

I will agree with this.

The only thing that's needed to make Sprint perfect is to increase the weapon draw time on certain weapons.

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

That's not Sprint's fault though.

All the other AAs' problems are almost exclusively due to the AAs themselves.

Hologram works on stupid people. My friend was playing Team Doubles with me. We were playing on Rebirth and pushed for rockets. He picked them up and we doubled back with our opponents following us. They stopped about where the rocket launcher spawns and crouched. One of them sent a hologram out and my friend wasted a rocket on it. I facepalmed. The guy sent another hologram out. I told my teammate not to shoot, but it was too late. He shot it and I facefloored. Hologram was enough to make my friend waste both rockets.

It has its uses; just pray that you're using it against the not-so-weary.

I could go on about how such futile measurements of your perception of "skill" would be meaningless considering the way playlists work, but that'd take too much effort to explain to your feeble mind, and I'm sure that the second you start thinking about things that are not headshots in a video game, I'd be throwing you off your "A game", so I won't do that (your welcome).

I could bring up how that's some tough talk coming from a guy without a linked gamer tag, and then someone with a better k/d than me will bring that up and try to use that as a point, and then someone even BETTER will play bigger fish for the next forever, so I wont bother with that.

Or I could just say that all your best arguments have been effectively shut down by ONE GUY, and they only way you can kick against me is by complimenting my grasp of the english language (which is usually a compliment, but, to preserve your facade of intelligence I'll assume you knew that.) (... you're welcome... AGAIN) and remind you that I said "/topic". This thread is done. Pull it out of the oven. You have nothing left, cupcake.

If it's only usable against 'bad' players or very particular situations, it's not really a feasible option for people to pick.

Either way, I don't give a crap. It doesn't affect me in the slightest, so I won't complain.

Hologram has it's uses. It rare that I send one out from cover and someone doesn't shoot at it. Sure, my position has been compromised, but so has the enemy's. But that's just me.

I can remember when it was announced that hologram would be in the game, people were talking about how it would be abused and every other thing you saw would be a hologram.

sword block has completely killed the sword in my opinion. its even worse than it was in halo 3, because at least in halo 3 the only people who could block your sword were other people with swords (which was equally stupid).

but in reach anyone with any weapon can block the sword, sometimes twice in a row. although most of the time thats not needed because after the first block the target pushes you back far enough to be out of the sword lunge range. so you can either sprint and go for another swing only to get killed by 2 or 3 DMR shots because of your weakened shield, or you can try to switch weapons and by the time you switch your shield is completely gone or you're dead so its as if you never had a sword at all.

some people have suggested to only use the sword from behind so they cant block it... normal melees already kill someone from behind in one hit, so why even have the sword if you're going to use it as a gun that cant shoot? thats basically what the sword is now, a gun that cant shoot but has a slightly longer melee range.
