I don't yoink intentionally, nor do I rage when I get yoinked.

Halo 3 is where the morons of the universe congregates.

I am thinking of an old story. "Three Billy Goats Gruff" (hint the troll dies at the end)

If you had an electron microscope, you still couldn't find the -blam!- I don't give.

Can vote for I only purposely yoink friends but never purposely randoms

I do in-fact betray. Why? I have every right to my own kill.


That's true. After he's dead, that is.

Selfish people steal other people's kill

No such thing.

so I betray them to even it out.

And promptly get booted. Now ask yourself, was it worth it?

If I put work into killing an enemy, a teammate that was camping doesn't have any right to take my kill.

Sure they do; they're still alive, so it's anybody's game.

Yes, I am that guy who did that thing. Thanks for noticing.

Do you?
NO


[b]do you betray the person that yoinks you or let it go?
That depends on the situation. If I can tell that it was intentional, and it wasn't someone that they were already attacking, 90% of the time I will hunt the sucker down and own his face with my crouch button.

personally i think the yoink system should punish the other player for kill stealing. If someone yoinks my kills i just wait until an enemy shoots them once then I betray them, the enemy gets the kill and I get revenge without a betrayal. Sounds fair to me.

i am the leader of the short bus we are the best invasion players ever. we hate little jimmy's who ruin halo. were just a bunch of friends trying to have fun in this world and maybe slaughter a few villagers a long the way

yes coz they rage

Yoinking properly (without killing your teamate) is an art...

  • 10.23.2011 11:56 PM PDT

If i get yoinked, I rage a little and hit the team mates shields down LOL

  • 10.23.2011 11:58 PM PDT

Pretty sure I'm a thread killer...

I didn't get my 1000 without a few hitches...I despise you damn yoinkers! I never intentionally do it, the game is already tough against the other team, no need to start a fight in my own team.

Haven't played halo in damn near a month though.

  • 10.24.2011 1:59 AM PDT

i think ive only ever gotten 1 yoink and that was just by random.

  • 10.24.2011 2:07 AM PDT

i yoink and get yoinked whatever it happens.

  • 10.24.2011 2:07 AM PDT

It really depends on the situation. But I don't yoink people unless they start it.

so YOUR the one - lol.

What I love is when you yoink someone, they rage attack, and then you get to boot them. Thats should be a 34343 credit challenge.

I did over the weekend but only because my teammate watched me fight the whole time, then tried to steal the kill with an assassination. So, yoink!

  • 10.24.2011 4:58 AM PDT

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

There's no such thing as kill stealing.

Depends if I like the player or not.

So ... bungie put a function into the game on purpose ... and we now have players wanting them to be banned - WTF.

Sad part is though, if bungie still had the option they would probably do it ... bungie did love a ban - lol.

  • 10.28.2011 6:20 AM PDT

I'll only do it intentionally to one person, and that's only because we've started a Yoink war with each other when one of us accidentally Yoink'd the other.

We've gotten some pretty good ones, but they all make us go, "Oh, you SON OF A...!"

  • 10.28.2011 6:23 AM PDT

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

I do if I see that my teammate is wasting time on a kill when there are enemies closing in on us, or the other team is controlling the objective well.

I also do it if my teammate has been a dick throughout the game.

If somebody yoinks me when I've been guilty of the two things I mentioned above, I wouldn't react because I'm in the wrong. However, if my assassination was earned by tricking the enemy or "ninja'ing" the opponent then I'd be pissed off and most likely rage.

  • 10.28.2011 7:05 AM PDT

Your fault if you wanna get fancy and waste game time showing off. And I let it go if it happens to me. And I betray those who try to take revenge on me for yoinking them.

  • 10.28.2011 7:24 AM PDT

Oh yeah I do it all the time. Mostly to squeakers but only to feed off their negative reactions. It pleases me.

  • 10.28.2011 7:27 AM PDT

Yep. Why? Because hearing "Yoink" is funny.

Also, theres no such thing as killing. You dont own the kill, its anyones game until the person is dead.

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

I have a mix of reactions/actions when it comes to yoinks.
