I always yoink, even if I have to betray my teammate with rockets. It's the best part of this game.

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

If I can, I will.

The only time I don't yoink is if it's a friend and we are HTO. Yoinking randoms is fun...because they RAGE so hard!

Never, it's against all ethical reason.

New Zealand is pretty much the best place in the world.

Yes, only if it is my friends, only to see them rage.

Fun before Victory.

The player they are assassinating is as good as dead, and so no threat. So I don't waste ammo for deliberate Yoinks, no.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Yes, because I know there are childish players who believe in "kill stealing," and it will piss them off.

When it comes to Halo, ethics are a nonfactor.

Rule #1.
You snooze, you loose.
Assassinates take too long.

Posted by: LOST CAUZ3
do you betray the person that yoinks you or let it go?

or do you not only yoink the kill, but betray the guy doing the assassinate by holding that trigger a little too long.
(or at least lower hsi shields to make him an easy kill)

Once one of my friends got mad and deleted me because I yoinked his kill. It was an accident that time. I usually do it on purpose to random players.

I love to Yoink.

Reach is 100% perfect, and the single most competitive game since Candyland. Anyone who dares question the godly powers of Bungie is obviously just bad at Halo.

I yoink for the same reason everyone else does.....because I'm a huge troll

If he's assasinating someone and some enemies are coming towards us I'll yoink to get him back in the fight quicker.
That's exactly what I do! Although, it always happens to be a false alarm...

Only if its with my bro, then its game on.

If its a bunch of randoms or clanmates... no.

WTF Humanity!

No, unless it's my friends, I don't want my teammate to take my kill and waste my time.
If your assassinating someone that takes about 6+ seconds(depending on the assassination) and while I am immovable and killing someone, my teammate could go attack another enemy while I take care of the other. And if they "Yoink" me, I don't care. I don't want to start a civil war between a team, while being attacked by another team.

  • 09.30.2011 9:01 PM PDT

Hell yes I yoink as much as I can!

Lol just realized I have 69 competitive yoinks...

spiral out

I will only go for an assasination if there is a camper (sniper) and no allies or other enemies in the area. This way I dont get yoinked.

yes but people sometimes feel as if it is not neccessary or they feel as if it is not the right thing to do enraging or stealing someones thigns.

but it is fun once in a while

Most of my yoinks are because the person tried assassinating someone I was still killing and I didn't think fast enough to not yoink them.
